Meanwhile. Camilla layed on the bed beside Vincenzo, eyes wide opened her as she staring at the celling with a smile one her face. Her head resting on Vincenzo’s arm that was spread open, the duvet covering them them. They actually made out in the room in Vincenzo’s office. it was made incase he had a lot of work to do and wouldn’t be able to go home for the night, so he could crash in it. “Did you speak to Francesa?”Camilla asked. “Yeah. I called her after you left, she asked after you”Vincenzo said and Camilla released a breath the pressed he

Camilla seat beside Vincenzo while Ethan sat beside camilla, with Caleb seating beside Ethan, the rest seating opposite them with Sophia secretly glaring at Camilla. The tension in the dining was palpable. Everybody heads down forcing on their meal. It was the first time Vincenzo ever joined them for a meal, and they didn’t know what to do or say. Even Camilla felt the tension pressing in her, she started regretting her decision for agreeing to Vincenzo when he requested to join them. Normally. Caleb and Paul wouldn’t stop disturbing her with questions about, when will she take them to the mall for shopping. There was this one time she made a bet with them, and she lost so she was supposed to take them out clothes shopping, but she always had her excuse. Vincenzo suddenly dropped his fork making e

Camilla came out of the bathroom with a towel round her chest and one she use in drying her hair. “I will have to sleep early tonight so i will be able to wake up early tomorrow, and wake Ethan for school. He sleeps like a drunkard”Camilla said still drying her hair with the towel. She raised her head up after not getting a response only to see that she was the only one in the room. “Where did he go?”Camilla wondered. ***Vincenzo sat on the chair in the game room with Ethan seating on the chair next to him. They both had Game controller on their hands with headphones on, as they played the game. They where both focused on the screen, while they played like their life depends on it. “Don’t cry old man, I’m gonna win round again”Ethan said loudly amking Vincenzo chuckle.Ethan made a move and on the video
Chapter 36“What did you just say?”Ryder questioned. Sophia bit on her bottom lip and sat on the bed, her back facing Ryder. “I said if you would just go back to your dad”“How the fuck did you know about my dad”Ryder asked with a frown in his face, her sat behind her. “That’s not important right now, what’s important now is Camilla and Vincenzo.”Sophia said trying to change the topic. “I asked a fucking question and you will answer me. How the fuck, did you know about my dad?”Ryder barked. Sophia turned to him with a raised eyebrow. “Why are you so worked up?”Sophia questioned. “Sophia”Ryder called more like a warning. “Fine i meet Catherine.”Sophia said and held her breath as she waited for Ryder’s reaction. “How? When? Where?”He asked confused. “She came to the house about a week ago,”Sophia said and turned to Ryder she crawls to him and sat on his lap before bring her hand to cup his cheek. “See baby, your mom told me everything just give your dad a shot let’s see the ou
Chapter 37Catherine turned to see her husband, Ryan walking in. She walk to him and kissed his cheek.“Welcome back honey,”Catherine said helping him take off his suite and he replied with a “Hmm”She secretly rolled her eyes behind him, as she finally took of his suite. “How was work today? anything new?”She asked taking his suite to the hanger. “Work was okay, nothing new”He said taking off his shoes. “Maybe work would have been better, is somebody’s son didn’t fall out the line”Ryan said with a stontic expression as he took of his shoes. “Give him a break, you where the one who disowned him”Catherine said. “He deserved it. I warned him to not get married to that girl but he didn’t listen, now look what happened. He cheated on her and now he is with her friend. Is that the son you raised”He questioned, his face twisted into a disappointing frown. Cathrine rolled her eyes as she took his shoes. “He felt sorry for what he did, i mean the friend was the one who seduced him.”Cathri
Chapter 38“Don’t answer”Lucas commands in a whisper. “You don’t tell me what to do”Holly said and tried reaching for her p we phone, but he flipped her over his shoulder taking her out of the room while she screamed and hit his back, desperately trying to free herself. “Put me down, put me down”She cried out loud, as he cried her into the living room and out of the house. “Help, somebody help me”She screamed desperately, praying for someone to just come out of their house to have her from this nightmare. “Sophia”She screamed immediately she remembered that Holly lived opposite her. “Sophia help me”She screamed with tears following down her cheeks. All this while. Lucas didn’t stop her from screaming, he didn’t knock her out. Inside he let her scream out her Lungs since he loved the sound of her voice, And he knows her to make scream even more when she is under him. He opens a waiting car door and forcefully puts her in it, then sliding in after wards. He shut the door and th
chapter 39She immediately took it and it was her mom calling. She rolled her eyes in disappointment before answering the call, then she place it on her hear. “Good evening mom”She greeted with a calm but fustrated tone. “Where are you now? is my baby alright? as he gone to bed?”Vivian questioned immediately the phone was answered making Camilla to sigh with an eyeroll. “Mom Ethan is fine, he as gone to bed and he is here with me in my matrimonial home”Camilla replied. Vivian breaths in relief followed by silence before she spoke. “So you really let go of Ryder for someone else? is the person even worth it?”Vivian questioned. Camilla sat up immediately frowning. “Mom you have never been in support of whatever i’m doing, the least you can do is be happy for me that I left ryder for someone better. I am your daughter for heavens sake”Camilla said with tears gathering in her eyes threantening to fall. Her mother has never for once showed her any sign of love, care or affection, s
Chapter 40“Lucasss”Holly called running out of breath, her eyes rolled to the back of their stock. Just when she was about to give in to death, he pushed her roughly to the bed abd she started coughing. Holding her neck as she tried to catch her breath. “This will be my last warning to you, don’t vex me”He warned. Then turned to the door leaving her to suffer.He open the door to see a man almost the same height as him, standing by the door. He was dressed in a long black coat with turtle neck sleeves and matching black trousers with fine polished pair of black shoes. He was Felix, Lucas assistant. Felix eyes traveled to Holly laying on the bed trying to catch her breath, this wasn’t new to him anymore. He as been walking with Lucas for years before he even found out about Holly, it was his fault. He was the one who put Holly in this shit, and he doesn’t even feel a bit of remorse. What his boss wants he gets. “What is it? Felix”Lucas ask in a cold and unfriendly tone. Felix gaze
It’s been two weeks since the whole incident. Seconds counts, minutes pass and days pass but Camilla situation was only getting worse. Ethan disappeared after Vivian’s sentance. Harrison. He doesn’t live in the house anymore, saying it brought back old memories of Vivian that he was trying to forget. So he is now staying in the elderly centers, where he could chat with old people and forget about everything that has happened. Eveything adding together, mixed with Camilla’s frustration, leaving her in a state where she can’t even find herself. She doesn’t recognize herself anymore. It’s been two weeks now. Two whole weeks and Vincenzo hasn’t bring her brother to her. He didn’t go to school not even for once. None of his friends knows about his whereabouts. Then there is Kayla. Seeing that she was still in coma, did nothing but to add more guilt to the guilt that she was already eating her up. Sophia hasn’t been found, and Camilla prayed she never be found. Cuz if she steps her fo
THREE DAYS LATER Today was the final trail. The day the judge is going to give her judgment, if Vivian was guilty or not guilty. Camilla sat on a bench with Ethan, Harrison and Vincenzo seating beside her. Holly sat at the back, she was glaring at Vivian who had no remorse or what so ever. Instead she was chewing a gum, like who even gave her that? Meanwhile, Camilla had her head completely bowed. The shame was overwhelming. She had dark circles round her eyes, her whole face has became red duo to all the crying. She has been completely deranged since she found out about the whole thing, to the point where she brought down her ego and went to confront Ryder. He didn’t denie it, instead he confessed. Instead of hating him more, she felt guilty. Her own biological mother has been doing this to him, he never for ones shared it with anybody. Kayla has been in coma since, she doesn’t look like she would wake up at anytime soon. She felt ashamed, if Kayla wakes up now and finds out abo
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. That was where he took my viginity, we kept downing it every day.”She inhaled and throwed her head back, then brought it back. She glanced at the detective who was taking note of every key details of what she was saying. “So
Chaptet 69“What?”Vivian exclaimed. “Murder? i didn’t do it, i swear on my families life.”Vivian said eyes still wide open. “Ma’am. 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. If he was given the chance to, he would have went to her, grab her by the neck and strangle her to death. “That’s good now follow me.”The office said then held her hands that was now handcuffed behind her back. She was walked
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
