"Eat up," Ms. Dimitri said, standing there, watching me eat my breakfast. The weight of her gaze felt cruel."Is this really necessary?" I asked, trying to maintain a polite tone."You're now Mr. Firmino's wife, so you need to eat and stay healthy, always, just in case," she replied."What is your problem? What do you mean by what you just said" I spat back but i comported myself afterwards and I toyed with my food to distract myself. Fried eggs, turkey sausage, and bread were on the plate—decent, but my appetite was lost in this disturbing atmosphere."Just a few more bites, dear," she insisted, treating me like a child."You also look thin. You should gain some more weight. Don't just wait until you get pregnant. Lucas might not even want to get you pregnant in the first place.""Just shut up, I think you have better things to do than stay here vomiting trash from your silly mouth" I snapped, causing her to flinch at my outburst."I don't know who the hell you think I am, but I am n
Gasping for air, he finally released his grip on my throat to punch Dorian. Dorian skillfully dodged the blow and controlled him. "Lucas, you need to chill. Why not go work on the old engine outside?"Lucas, still boiling with anger, responded, "No, I'd rather end her here and now."He turned toward me, coming my way. Dorian stopped him again. "I found the documents in his car, and I'll take care of him alone. You shouldn't have two corpses in your office. Just go and play withthe engine."Dorian gradually released Lucas, who stormed out, his rage evident. "I'm sorry for what he did, did he hurt you?" he asked me, but I was in so much shock and pain that i couldn't respond. I justwanted to go back to my father's house and lay my head in his comforting arms with him stroking my hair."I did not want to harm you. I just wanted to test his patience," Dorian reassured me, and i questioned myself.Am i a toy to them?Is this guy serious right now?Shivering, I remained silent, i felt so
"Mama!" I cried, holding her hand tightly."I'm not going to make it, Camilla," she struggled to tell me. "But we can save the baby."I looked back at Papa pacing back and forth in distress. This only made me cry more. I was eight years old in this cold hospital room with my mom telling me she was going to die."Stop it, Rose!" Papa shouted at her. "Why are you telling the child such nonsense! If something was wrong, the doctors would say!""This is not my first pregnancy. I know when something is wrong!" she argued back to him.She grabbed her stomach in pain as she got another contraction. I quickly grabbed a towel and dabbed her face. She was drenched in her sweat because she was burning up."It's time," she told Papa. "Call the doctor!"She grabbed my hands tightly. "Camilla, you have to promise me that if anything happens, you will take care of your baby brother with your life."I shook my head. "No, no, no. I can't. You have to do it. You're just being dramatic right now because
CAMILLA’s POVIt was soon night time and neither Lucas or Dorian came back home, I patiently waited and listened for any of their footsteps or sound but I heard none.I tried opening the door for the first time since Dorian left after feeding me the avocado toast and to my greatest surprise the door was opened.“I can’t believe it. Dorian left the door opened and all this time It felt like I was in a prison.” I said to myself, I slowly opened the door, sticking my head out as I peep at both sides of the room to be sure no one was around and surprisingly the house was dead quiet.I smiled like a kid before stepping out, I might still clearly be inside the sitting room but it felt so much like I was out into the world, like I was free.I rushed straight for the kitchen and opened the door widely with a loud bang on to see Dorian having a glass of milk while standing front of the fridge, he slowly removed the glass from his mouth as he stared at me in confusion.“Why are you outside y
Camilla’s POVThe next morning I was woken up by the sound of plates clashing against each other, I tried to force the sleep back but it seemed I had lost it and needed to wake up anyways.I stood up from the bed and wasn’t a bit surprised not to see Lucas beside me, I took a hot bath and wore any of the dress from my closet before stepping out of the house and down the stairs leading to were the noise was coming only to come in contact with the new chef as she served Lucas his breakfast.She looked so seductive and even her boobs were almost about to fall out of her shirt and her skirt was very short and seductive showing off her legs.As I walked into the dining area, I couldn't help but notice the new chef serving Lucas his breakfast. She was dressed in a way that could only be described as seductive, with her low-cut top and short skirt. It made me feel uncomfortable and a pang of anger rose within me."You are awake," the chef said to me, a hint of arrogance in her voice.I force
CAMILLA'S POVI soon felt much at ease from Dorian words, he smiled at me one last time before walking out of the room while I sat down staring at my breakfast that had gone cold but still pleads to be eaten.Lucas soon returned to the bedroom, he chuckled to the way I stared at my breakfast.“Are you scared I might have poisoned it?” He questioned, I stood up and walked towards the food like I didn’t hear him.“No, lost my appetite.” I bluntly said before throwing the plate and the breakfast in the trash.“What was that for?” He exclaimed but all I did was fold my hands and walk back to te bed.“You should have thrown that out not in bedroom.” He added but all I added was a smile to my face.“The chef would take care of everything, or don’t tell me you also expect me to clean everywhere.” I said to him, he glared at me in anger while I smiled in victory…I wasn’t just going to seat and watch him make life a living hell for me.“Clara!” He yelled, wow…what a shabby name, I thought with
Camilla’s pov—I soon felt much at ease from Dorian words, he smiled at me one last time before walking out of the room while I sat down staring at my breakfast that had gone cold but still pleads to be eaten.Lucas soon returned to the bedroom, he chuckled to the way I stared at my breakfast.“Are you scared I might have poisoned it?” He questioned, I stood up and walked towards the food like I didn’t hear him.“No, lost my appetite.” I bluntly said before throwing the plate and the breakfast in the trash.“What was that for?” He exclaimed but all I did was fold my hands and walk back to the bed.“You should have thrown that out not in bedroom.” He added but all I added was a smile to my face.“The chef would take care of everything, or don’t tell me you also expect me to clean everywhere.” I said to him, he glared at me in anger while I smiled in victory…I wasn’t just going to seat and watch him make life a living hell for me.“Clara!” He yelled, wow…what a shabby name, I thought wi
Camilla’s povI turned around and Clara had a wide grin on her face following the words she had just poured out of her mouth.“Are you threatening me?” I asked her but she just smiled before walking into the room like she was the owner or something of that sort.“You should be threatened.” She began with her more like a whisper.“I won’t be threatened by you because I am still his wife in this house.” I spat out but to my surprise she laughed out loudly.“You aren’t even beautiful and it is more than obvious that he doesn't love you…like he doesn’t love you at all.” Clara said to me as she moved closer to me, placing her hands on my head as she stroked it gently.“I don’t want you to worry too much because I would make sure to take good care of your man.” Clara muttered with a smirk before walking out.I sat on my bed in frustration, this wasn’t what I asked for. Now the chef Lucas brought into the house is claiming superior and threatens to seduce Lucas and take him from me,I couldn
