You have the right to remain silent, as anything you said will be used in the court of law.”The officer said, making her press her lip into a thin line. She was furious, but she couldn’t let it out. They would use whatever she says against her. “Ma’am please step out, with your hands high above your head, then turn around slowly.”The officer instructed. She did as instructed. Stepped out of the house, her eyes caught the two police cars parked outside the house. Then there was Lucas and Ryder, her eyes meant with that of Ryder and she felt somthing dark run throw her veins. He was glaring at her, hate, regret, shock all in one.

Chapter 70“That wasn’t all. Should i start from the very beginning?”Vivian asked the detective. “Yes please.”He answered. “So it all started a long time ago, when i was thirteen. My uncle came to stay with us, he was three years older than me. He introduced me to some of his friends,”She inhale and exhaled before continuing, folding her palms into a fist. “He made me watch pornography, and i liked it. At first it was all about parts and the videos, the best part was my parents were never at home. They where divorced, and i lived with my father, he was a business man. Never around and that gave us extreme previlage. It all started in the kitchen one night, i went to drink water downstairs in the middle of the night. I found him there on the kitchen, my uncle.

Chapter 1 Vincenzo stood under the warm water. He was starting to relax. Then his phone rang. He sighed and turned off the water. He stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around his waist. He walked over to the counter and picked up his phone. "Giovanni," he answered. "Vincenzo, it's time we discussed your future," his grandfather said. Vincenzo's eyes narrowed. "What about my future?" "You need to find a wife, Vincenzo," his grandfather said. "Someone who can give you an heir. It's time for you to settle down." Vincenzo's jaw clenched. "I don't need a wife. I can handle the family business on my own." Giovanni sighed. "Vincenzo, you promised me you would come to my 71st birthday party with your future wife." Vincenzo's eyes flashed with annoyance. "I didn't promise you that. And even if I did, I'm not a child who can be forced into marriage." As he argued with his grandfather, a face flashed in his mind - Camilla, his secretary. He quickly pushed the thought aside, re
Chapter 2 The sun shone on the window, casting a warm glow on Camilla's sleeping face. Silence was the only sound that ranted the room. Camilla eyes flarted open but close them almost immediately. she rolled over to the other part of the kind size bed. A groan escaped her lips, her eye lids parted slowly. Taking in the sight of her unfamiliar surrounding she was in. She lazily sat up. The tender ache and soreness in her core, reminding her of the past night incident. A gasp escaped her lip, and her hand found its way to her mouth covering it as the memories of what transpired between her and Vincenzo flooded her memories. The rate of her heart beat increased, and breathing became difficult. she grab the sheet's tightly, trying to hold the scream that threanted to burst out of her throat. "What have I done?"she slapped herself countlessly. She got down from the bed, avoiding the soreness in her core and rushed to the window. She expected to see cloud's, but to her surprise wha
Chapter 3Camilla sat on the bed pounding on the marriage proposal. Vincenzo left the room a while ago, with the aim of giving her space to think about the proposal.Vincenzo didn't tell her is purpose for the marriage, but hers is clear. She needed as powerful person to back her up, if she really wants to have her revenge on Ryder and Sophia.She stood up from the bed, then stared pacing round the room. Agreeing to this marriage as a lot of benefits for her, like what Vincenzo had told her she had to bear him an heir. So her childs future will be secured, but what about her family reaction.They never liked Ryder, that's one thing. But what will be their reaction, if she told them that she was married. They would freak out. But Whatever would be their reaction, she knew she had to face it. She needed this marriage, cause it would benefit her in many ways.Nevertheless, she walk back to the bed and pick up her phone. She dialed her father's number. At each ring, the beating rate of h

Vincenzo sat at the office chair while Camilla sat on the visitors chair. they look like their in the middle of a decision.“You do know, that once’s you sign this papers there’s no turning back”he said.“I understand, and I’ve made my decision”she replies as they locked gaze. “ok, here are the rules”Vincenzo said slide a paper towards her. she read it through nodding her head in agreement, but stopped when she read the last rule on the list.“it’s a contract marriage, not a real marriage.privacy is crucial”She explain.“marriage is marriage, doesn’t matter if it’s contract or not” he replies.“intimacy three times a week, i think twice a week is preparable”she said, her cheeks turning red in embarrassment.“why? you can’t keep up?”he questioned with raised eyebrow,she broke the eye contact and turned her face away from him. muttering “yes” that was barely audible but he heard her. he huffed a low c
chapter 5A grand party was held. the sound of guest laughing, and some charting filed the air. that atmosphere was lively, with the clicking of glass and happiness in the air. Camilla stood by the stairs, with Lucia standing behind her. she looked like a majestica. her eyes roaming round the hall searching for one person, Vincenzo. Sheclenched her fist together, and breathed hard in silence. being in the party reminds her of the times she and Ryder will attend a friends party, and he will make her follow behind him like a controlled puppy. It was now that she understood what she has been going through in the hand of that bastard. she clenched her teeth, irritated by the thought of her and Ryder. Lucia whispered in her ear. “Ms. Torricelli. if you are looking for Master Torricelli, I don’t think you will find him now. he has probably gone to attend to some private family business. so why don’t you enjoy the part?”Camilla turned to her with a raised eyebrow. “what private busines
chapter 6“What the fuck”Camilla exclaimed drawing everybody’s attention. Camilla looked at Vincenzo, wanting him to oppose his grandfather but he never did. his entire focus was on Giovanni. The old man, always has his way around things. A smirk appeared on Giovanni’s lip, he squirt his eyes and smiled at Camilla. “Grand daughter-in-law, is there a problem?”Giovanni asked, dearing her to oppose him. She stuttered. “I…I”she punched Vincenzo, and as their gaze meet she winked at him to say something. he rolled his eyes before responding. “We will do as you wish”Vincenzo answered shocking Camilla, Giovanni nod and Frances’s smirk while Gabriele just stared at them in confusion. Francesca knows what her brother and grand father is up to. even if Vincenzo didn’t planned this stunt with Giovanni, She knows he will always agree once it involves bringing him and Camilla together. her brother as been inlove with this girl, since like forever. She remembered the times he would always m

Chapter 68NEXT MORNINGCamilla walk into the hospital with a feeling of hope, as she headed for Kayla’s VIP ward. She carried a fruit basket on her right hand. Vincent trailing behind. She doesn’t know how to think right now, all that was in her head was for Kayla to be alive. Nobody called her last night or this morning, maybe Vincenzo told them not to worry her. Even though she look cool, she was dieing on the inside. It was gonna be hard seeing Kayla but she has to. She reached Kayla’s ward but came to an halt. It was Ryder and Lucas, the two people she hated the most presently. Worst of all, they turned to face her when they noticed her presence. If it was to be on a normal day, and she bump into them. She would have ignored them like she was ignoring her life problem. But no. Here they are, staring at her like she was a the painting. Mona Lisa. Nevertheless, she carried one foot and another till she got to them. She stared at Lucas not wanting to make eye contact with Ryde
Chapter 67MOTELRyder drove roughly into the motels parking lot. He got a message from Vivian telling him to meet her at the motel just after he left the hospital. He was angry at first but had to come. She was is main suspect, if the culprit really isn’t her then it’s Sophia. He only agreed to come because he wants to question her, if really she is the culprit. Then he won’t hesitate in putting her behind bars. But the problem here is Camilla. How will he explain the reason why her mother would want to kill Kayla? That they have been fucking since he was in kindergarten? Or what is he suppose to say?He had hurt to much people before, and his making a list of those people. He wants to make things right with them. But not in the way that the outcome would affect his wife. He knew how close Kayla was with Camilla, and he didn’t want that to end. At least that’s the only thing he couldn’t dare to break. He climbed down from the car and shot the door after him. He was wearing a face
Chaptet 66“Holly.”Camilla ran to Holly the moment she walk into the ER. “They are in surgery.”Holly answered and hugged Camilla, while rubbing her back. Meanwhile. Ryder stood infront of the ER, his body laying against it. He panded his forehead softly on the door, sweat rolling from his fore head. He squeezed his eyes shot, regret was what he was feeling. He shouldn’t have let her roam around the city with no guards. He shouldn’t have agreed to her silly request, for letting her win their arguments. Now look where he is at, so fucking painful. He knew something like this would happen, he has a suspect. But he can’t just go and start accusing the person without any valid evidence. He should have thought of these, why? just why? The regret and guilt was eating him up, he knew this was happening to Kayla because of him. He knew this would happen. He fold his palm into a fist, so tight that his knuckles turned white. He couldn’t explain what he was feeling. Rage? it must be rage or
Chapter 65Muffled sirens sounded. Muffled voices was heard, red and blue lights flickered uncontrollably. Eyes struggled to open, but everything was blurry. Suddenly an oxygen mask was placed on Kayla’s nose, she felt hands tapping hers. She was in a stretcher, she could feel it. She was being rolled into an ambulance. She let out a sigh of relief, she was tired and could feel herself slipping into darkness. She tried to stay awake, tried to keep herself conscious, but darkness beat her to it. After much struggles to stay awake, she finally let darkness consume her. The last thing she heard before blacking out. Was Camilla and Holly screaming her name, and the nurse muttering under her breath. “Keep your fucking hands away from me, my friend was shot in her neck.”Camilla cried trying to push Vincent away. While he held her in place, preventing her from running into the ambulance. His arms where wrapped around her, while she struggled, kicked untill she couldn’t anymore. “Kayla”Ho
Chapter 64“Antonia”Vincenzo called with raised eyebrows, staring kneely at his anuty. “Whatsup nephew?”She asked with a smile on her face, taking her seat uninvitedly. Vincenzo face remaind stontic, his gaze never leaving hers. “What brings you here?”He questioned. Then sat up straight, and rest his back lazily on his chair. “What do you mean by that? I came to spend time with my nephew of cause,”She said and smiled wildly. “You know after my brother and his wife died, and you have been taking good care of Gabriele. I just wanted to come and say thank you, let me spend few days here before going back to Italy.”Antonia explained. “I appreciate you, Antonia. But there isn’t any need for you to come, you are going back to Italy first thing tomorrow.”Vincenzo said with a straight face, and focused on his computer. “What! I don’t want to go back to Italy, it’s boring there. And..”“You of all people should know how i hate repeating myself. You will leave Tomorrow evening. Next time i

Vincenzo continued walking round the table. “Two weeks ago. One motherfucker ordered an hit on my wife, my sister and my grandfather. That motherfucker also tried to breach my company”He chuckles. “Such fucking guts, huh?”Vincenzo said. He walk to number ten and place his hand on his shoulder. “You want to know what’s more absorbed. The motherfucker hired someone to kill my wife.”Vincenzo said immediately one of his men who was in the room, but invisible because he was in the dark. Came with a bottle in his hand. “Take of your hat and mask.”Vincenzo instructed.

She turn to Ryder and wipe his own tears. “Even if you were a cunt, always getting on my nerve. I can’t let that bitch walk away, not now not ever. She needs to spend her fucking life in jail. We have to work together Ryder, work with me. Let’s send this bitch. You’ve been a dick and a pain in the ass to Camilla for a long time, this is the only thing to earn her forgiveness.”Kayla said caressing is face. “Now we have a physco mistress waiting for you inside. Let’s go before she starts suspecting shit.”Kayla said and pats his cheek, without waiting for his reply she climbed down from the car. She layed
