CAMILA

The atmosphere was very tense and silent. Nobody spoke since the dinner had started. The soft beat of the rain against the roof of the house didn’t seem to help matters. The only sound was the sound of the spoon meeting the plates and the heavy breathing of the occupants of the table. Camila looked around the table, wandering what was wrong. She looked at her eldest brother Ace, his dark hair and eyes seemed than usual and he had a scowl on his face but he always had a scowl on his face, Diego sat beside him with short hair and blue eyes, he looked sad and annoyed and his twin Xavier shared the exact look. Matias just looked bored out of his mind and slightly worried. “is something wrong?” her mother asked in a distraught voice which finally broke the silence which hung over the family table for so long. Ace seemed happy at this development because finally he could speak since someone had spoken. “yes papa, please tell them what is wrong?” he hissed at his father who

Camila I groaned and rolled in my bed when I heard the alarm clock ring. I sat up and stared around the room. I almost had a heart attack when I realized I wasn’t in my room. The ceiling was white for one, I know I always had peach walls. I stared around the larger room. It was white from bottom to ceiling. I lay on a four poster bed covered in white sheets. There were two doors, probably leading to the bathroom and closet. I slipped out of my bed and looked at all my bags stuffed ata corner. I was in Roman’s house. My eyes moved down to the emerald ring that encircled my finger. The events of yesterday came rushing through my head. I was engaged to the cocky arrogant billionaire. So much for life. I stared at the alarm clock and gasped. It was 7:45 and school staretd at 8:15. I ran into the shower; it was as big as my bathroom back home but I didn’t let my mind rest on that for long. I took a quick bath and stepped out. I chose a white hoodie that I stole from Xavie

The dress was a long off shoulder red gown with a shiny bodice. I stared at it in awe. It was just a dinner and yet the dress looked very costly. I took off my dress and wore the dress. I stared at the mirror when I heard a knock on my door. I walked to it and opened it expecting to see Roman but instead I saw a young girl about my age, in a short white gown. She had short black hair and freckles on her face. “good day miss, I was sent to help you prepare” I opened the door wider for her to come in. she walked in and set her equipment down. “I’m Elena” “Camila, please” I sat down on the stool and she got to work doing my makeup first then my hair. Once she was done. I opened my eyes and stared at the mirror. “I must say you look pretty” she said in a small voice. I smiled at her and stood. It was already quarter to 7 and I had to be down soon. I took the red purse ash handed me and walked out of my door. I walked down the stairs slowly to ensure I didn’t trip

Roman I hate work. I hate paper work especially and I hate having to wear a suit every time I step out of my home. It’s all about reputation. My father’s words not mine. I knotted the freaking tie and pulled on my blazers. I swept my comb through my hair a couple times before heading down the stairs. Harry stood at the door twirling the keys to the car in his hands with his finger. “took you long enough, who’re you trying to impress, Camila? I swear Harry was as annoying as a fly. I pushed him against the wall and stared him in the face. “one more freaking word and I’m going to kill you” he nodded frantically and I let him go. I headed into the car and he entered the driver’s seat and drove off to the Romero empire. It was a large 24 story building, made of glass, at least most part of it. “we’re here” Harry said in a chirpy voice. That was one thing I liked about him, he never stayed angry or annoyed for long. I shook my head in amusement as

The sound of soft snoring woke me up from my deep slumber. I turned slowly and my eyes met that of Roman’s. he looked so young and youthful when he slept, his hair was tousled over his head and his lips parted a little to release a little gush of air every time he breathed. I turned to observe the room, it was dark themed with blood red curtains standing at a corner. The room was dark apart from the tiny streaks of sunlight that escaped through the curtains. “hey’ I heard Roman murmur sleepily. His voice was husky and tired. “good morning” I replied slipping out of the bed. Roman sat up using his elbow to brace himself up and stared at me. I looked down at my outfit, I had sleepily managed to change my clothes last night but how I ended up in his room, I don’t know. “what a site, miss. Santiago” Roman said and a blush creeped up my face. I stalked out of the room and headed for mine to save myself further embarrassment. I entered my room and shut the door. I
