Camila's P.O.V
The first thing I normally woke up to was my ceiling, my pillows or my closet. But today, I woke up to a shirtless Italian looking man asleep next to me, peacefully I might add.
And what did I do?.
I smacked him on his forehead.
"Oh my, Cam, why did you do that!?" Elijah asks rubbing his forehead and sitting up.
"Because you looked a little too peaceful there, my apologies" I answer innocently.
"Why must you choose violence to resolve your issues?" he asks getting up off the bed and walking to the bathroom. "I was having the best dream" he mumbles closing the door.
Camila's P.O.V"What the hell happened to your face!?" Josh exclaims once we sat down inside his car.I explained what happened the other night and he was not happy about it. No one would be, but there's nothing anyone can really do about the situation."I don't understand it, you're married" Josh points out."Oh, I am?" I gasped, "I hadn't noticed" I say sarcastically.Because obviously I'm married, but I'm not in control of my life."Haha" Josh says with an eye roll and starting the car.I had to ditch my car to go with him, said he'd take me back to it once we'r
Camila's P.O.V"He's my father, I have to do whatever he says" Elijah defends, quite pathetic if you ask me.Clair looked at Emilio, who was busy in his own little world to even care what they were talking about. We were currently driving in a limo, per Clair's request, he deserves nothing but the best."How do you manage with your brother and your father not having a fatherly son bond, and when your brother, the one who looks up to you has to keep a distance when your father is around, how do you feel about that?" Clair asks, putting Elijah on the spot.That's what he does, he tries to get to the deepest parts of your mind and tries to help. Kinda like what I like to do, I learned from the best.
Elijah's P.O.V"Since when are you guys so close?" Josh asks Camila and Emilio, who looked at him then at each other and laughed."I've been asking that question for hours" I tell him, looking at the duo enjoying each other's company.Seeing them together reminded me of someone I once knew, she and Emilio were always close, no one could stop them from hanging out, sometimes disappearing for hours, just to go to movie premieres, she was a big part of both our lives.Unfortunately, fate had other plans for our relationship."Reminds me of Brooke" Mira says from next to me, I turn to look at her for a brief second. "Yeah, I remember" she smiles sadly whilst watching Emilio and Camila as they chased each other.We were all at Josh's place, turns out Camila had already told the driver to drop us off here even before we left for the airport, she already had a whole day planned. All she wanted to do was come here and have a day off
Elijah's P.O.V"The world is not quite ready for the real Camila, trust me" Camila says with a low chuckle, shaking her head."You never know, you're a role model to a lot of people out there, and it doesn't really matter if they don't accept you, as long as you accept who you are, that's all that matters" I tell her honestly."A role model?" she asks herself softly, a small smile playing on her lips.Her eyes fell to her feet as she drew her knees up to her chest and wrapped her arms around herself protectively."A persona built for the media, that's all we rich people do right, just build fake personas to get by, hiding all our dirty secrets from the outside world, in hopes of robbing them blind" she says in a low tone, almost inaudibly.The way her voice cracked a few times was enough to know she was hurt by how she had to live her life in the eye of the public. There are things we have to do that we'r
Camila's P.O.VRubbing my eyes, I walked into the hall and yawned. I couldn't get out of bed early enough, I was feeling a it under the weather, Elijah insisted I stay in bed and get some rest, I slept through most of the day.Now it was time for my evening meal, I can't believe he let me sleep that long. He had a meeting today but it was at home, I didn't bother to ask who he was meeting with. The way I was feeling, there was no way I'd be interested in knowing."Ew" Quinn says when I walk into the the kitchen. "What ran over you?" she asks with a friendly laugh."I'm glad you always find my misery amusing" I replied nodding and taking a seat by the island.She doesn't respond and I turned to look at her, surprised to see what she was wearing today, sweats. For the first time, she looked decent to me. It was like her wardrobe only consisted of slut wear and cat calling, it's actually nice seeing her in something normal."I
Elijah's P.O.V"Is that right?" Camila asks Emilio from somewhere in the hallway.I could hear them out there bickering as they always do, it drove me crazy watching them be so close, I shouldn't be jealous because I'm married to her. But she has more time with him now that I'm not that free.Clair had me working on his project for almost a week and everything has been going good so far, I'm almost finished with it. I knew my way around my father to get the information needed. I never thought that I would be going against my father, but at the rate he's going, he needs to be put down.I always knew he was dirty man, but he's cheating people into charity and not giving it to the ones who are in need of it, he uses uses fake investments to rob people, he's just as greedy as he's always been.Money, money, money.He can never get enough, maybe going against him might teach him a lesson. And maybe then, he might not
Camila's P.O.V"That's great news!" Clair beams over the video chat.I called him and told him about the pregnancy and he's apparently taking it well, he'd always been so protective of me, it was his job anyway."I used him" I remind and he let's out a laugh."Sweetheart, we've all used people in our time, trust me, he'll get over it" he chuckles.I look over at Elijah asleep on my bed, after we talked for three whole hours he decided he wanted to just sleep in here for the night. His mother was the one who convinced him to tell me everything that was going on.Judie knew and I knew, but she told him that if he really cared for me then he would tell me the truth and get it out of the way. I appreciate Elijah for coming to me straight away rather than wait until some appointed time where he asked me out on a date just to tell me about it."I hope so" I say looking at the screen again, capturing a smile fr
Camila's P.O.V"You look different" Devon comments as his eyes watched me from across the table."Is that so?" I ask glancing up at him but refusing to meet his eyes.Devon and Elijah had business to take care of for Clair, but I had to dragged into it because I know more about what they're doing than they did. I didn't want to get involved because ever since I sat down outside with them, the tension has been thick.Neither of them spoke unless it was necessary and it was killing me."Yes, there's definitely something different about you" Devon acknowledged sitting up to look at me better."When you find what it is please inform me" I chuckled looking up with a smile."You're smiling, there's definitely something different" he says putting his papers down and giving me his full attention."Maybe I'm happier" I shrugged glancing at Elijah, who was trying so hard not to intervene.Devon looked at Elijah bu
