chapter 28“Ahhhh”Dante scream of agony filed the room. Vincenzo at short him in his stomach. “Next time think twice before you try to act smart with me.”Vincenzo said. He walk back to the table and dropped the gun, before turning his back to Dante. “I want him treated,”Vincenzo demands. “As you who’s, Don”The man answered. “Ahhhh fuck”Dante cried. ****************************************************************************Camilla just finished with her work, she walk to Vincenzo office then knock before entering. She entered but couldn’t find anyone, then she went to his inner room. But he wasn’t there. “Where did he go?”She said and just shrug. Since he is nowhere to be found, and she is done with her work. It won’t hurt to spend some time with the other assistant. She walk out of Vincenzo’s office, and out of hers to the assistant office. “Good afternoon everyone”She smiled as she walked into the assistant office. They turned their focus on her.“Good afternoon”They greated
chapter 29“Holly, you sure that you’re okay?”Camilla asked, the moment she entered the restroom with Holly. “I’m fine, okay. I don’t see the reason why you are so worried”Holly said. She bite on her bottom lip and look down. She put her hands behind her as she tried to his her shaking hands, she stared at the floor holding the tears from falling. “Holly. We are friends, aren’t we? you know you can tell me anything”Camilla said. Her tone hinting with worries, her expression calm but held the look of worry. Holly couldn’t fight the tears anymore so she let them out. Camilla was shocked and surprised by the sudden action, still confused. She pulled Holly into a hug, and patted her back softly, while Holly sobs uncontrollably wetting her clothes with tears. “I don’t know what to do”She stutters, chocking on her words as she couldn’t breath. “Shuuu, let it all out”Camilla confronted. “I tried hiding, but he found me. He always does, he is going to take me away again”Holly cried, stut
Chapter 30“Holly”She muttered. “What about her?”Vincenzo questioned, his eyebrows twisting as he frowned. “Please, i want you to save her. She is going true a lot. please”She please making Vincenzo frown harder. “Stand the fuck up and talk to me properly”Vincenzo said returning to his cold demeanor. Camilla cleaned her tears and stood up properly, she pulled on the tip of her suite and cleared her throat. Dhe stared at Vincenzo’s face, but avoided his eyes. She doesn’t understand the reason for his cry, maybe it was because she was acting foolish? well it’s not her fault. After Holly told her what happened, she couldn’t help but feel emotional. It’s as if she was connected to Holly and she felt her pains. “I..I”She stutters. “Speak to me properly”Vincenzo deep and harsh commanding voice demands. Camilla locked gaze with him at once. Why was he behaving harsh towards her today? what have she done to deserve this attitude? He acted the same this morning, and now again. It’s as i
chapter 31Camilla hissed as she sat on the chair, resting her hands on the desk. She scoffed as she remembered the way Vincenzo had yalled at her. “What a prick”She muttered, a frown settling on her face. She pushed the files to her front then started going through them, page by page, file by file for proper check up. She was on the last file when her phone started ringing. She hissed as she closed the file and turned to her phone, it’s was her father Harrison calling. She held the phone on her hand, and inhaled before exhaling. as she tried to calm her racing nerves, Vincenzo really provoked her earlier. She answered the call and placed it on her ear, her voice sounding bold and polite. “Hello Daddy”She answered. “Yes I’m at work,”She answered. “Ethan got into a fight?”She questioned. “What happened? Ethan as never ever gotten into a fight before”Camilla said resting gel elbow on the desk, her eyebrows twisting into a light frown. “I’ll be on my way, let me first take permissi
chapter 32“Me?”Ethan questioned pointing at himself. “let’s go”Camilla pulled him by his arm as two of the guards led the way, while two followed from behind. Ethan held onto camilla like she was gonna shield him from an attack. “Seriously, you need to explain to me what is going on”Ethan said in a whisper, glancing back at the body guard as they walk out of the school. “We are going to meet my husband”Camilla answered keeping her voice low to match with Ethans. “Who is this husband of yours?”Ethan asked, camilla galnced at him before turning to face her front. She never thought of her family reaction, if they find out that she got married to her boss, after divorcing her husband. Will they call her a gold digger? she doesn’t care much about what Ethan and her father Harrison would say, but her mother. Vivian is the problem, she thinks Ryder is mister perfect that she believes him more than she believes camilla. They got outside to where the limousine was parked. Ethan jaw droppe
Chapter 33Ethan traces his hand on Camilla’s desk. He was board and Camilla as been gone for almost two hours now. He thought of leaving the office, but Camilla’s threat his what held him back. He picked up his phone and went to his school block, as expected it was the news of his fight that filed the entire blog.He scrolled for a while and turned if his phone, he thought of calling camilla but after seeing her bag on the table he quited. 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
Chapter 34Inside a fancy restaurant, were the asssistant seated across on a long dinner table. Even Sophia was there, she wouldn’t spare a second to through mean full glared at camilla. 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
Chapter 35“Bitch”Sophia muttered low enough to only her hearing. ****************************************************************************Dinner ended about Two hours ago. 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
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
Chapter 63“Who”Number give questioned. Vincenzo,Gabriele, Lucas and Massimos head turned to him alsmost immediately, he kept his mouth shot. 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. Without being told twice, he immediately pulled the hat and mask away from his face. “Grasso, this will be the first and last time you will be crossing me.”Immediately Vincenzo said that gasp erupted from the men expect the top four. “I didn’t do it i swear,”Grasso argued but it was t
Chapter 62“Goddamnit that bitch”Kayla slammed her fist on the dashboard again. “You didn’t fucking say anything”She questioned glaring at Ryder, who only bent his head in shame. “I’m sorry, I…I”She sobs. “You know what? we are going to tell Camilla.”Kayla said and Ryder eyes grew wide. “No you can’t.”Ryder argued. “I am not taking know for an answer.”She sighed and wiped her tears. 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
Chapter 61 The gaint gate open and Ryders car drove in, he drove into the garage and pack is the car. He turned of the engine and turn to face Kayla, who starred ahead. Silence became louder than noise. Each of them not saying a word to each other. Kayla sighed and turned to face him. Meeting his gaze. “Are we gonna get down or what?”She questioned. Her voice sounded Confidcent, like she didn’t just tell him something shocking. Ryder starred at her, wondering if he should ask or not. He stared at her for a while, non ready yo break eye contact. “How did you find out?”Ryder asked after a sigh. Kayla rolled her eyes taking her gaze back to the window. “I saw you guys doing it one time after closing. I was heading out with Camilla when she fell off the stairs. FLASH BACK NINE YEARS AGO“Kayla, Kayla, Kayla.”Camilla called checking from one classroom to another. She had checked the gym class and the basketball cour where Kayla like to be but couldn’t find her. And the worst part was
