Camille's POV
Why would anyone believe me? They've asked me the same question over again and I gave them the same answer. "I don't know anything about it!"
"You won't be saying that because Miss Penelope is here and she has Evidence that would make you rot in jail for life." The crooked teeth Cop grinned at me giving me the creeps. Just as he had said, Penelope walked into the investigation and sat beside the cop.
"Tell them everything you've said is a lie. I didn't do anything to Mr. Banks!"
Penelope scoffed and dropped her brown Louis Vuitton bag on the table. To me, it seemed like a total show-off. "You know I didn't attack Axel, why aren't you saying anything about it."
"Your obsession must have grown bigger for you to address him by his name," Penelope folded her arms together and smiled at me. "You almost murder my boss and even when evidence is being provided, you keep denying It. Are you that hungry for money?"
Camille POVIt's been a week since the incident and I couldn't stop thinking about it. The press spent days on my doorsteps asking questions about my relationship with Axel. Because of that, I spent the whole week on the bed not stepping out of it because I was ashamed of myself. Even after all I had gone through, I still thought of Axel. Every time I closed my eyes, he was all I could see and I hoped he could appear to me.If only it could happen.Alina did everything to get me out of the bed but I was adamant and I refused to step out of my room."Are you going to remain on your bed without coming out of your room?" Alina knocked on my room's door but he got no reply but being the crazy one, she continued knocking. "I am not leaving this room until you get your butt out of that bed. Are you going to keep sulking because of what happened?" She asked. ”Axel Banks has already informed everyone that you were innocent. How long will you keep acti
Camille's POV"You should call him back," Alina threw my phone on the couch and stood at akimbo urging me to stand up from the couch where I lay watching my favorite TV show. It's been two days since Axel called to apologize for what happened and ever since then he hasn't bothered calling back."Why should I call him?" I asked and blew a strand of my hair from my face. "He should call me and apologize over and over again for everything that had happened. "Alina palmed her forehead. "Listen to yourself Camille," she shouted. "You told him to stop calling you!""And I didn't expect him to stop!" I yelled back and stood up from the couch. I paced around our living room thinking about the possibilities that Axel could call me back.Was I hoping too much because I was attracted to him or because I thought I was important too? "Argh," I groaned out in frustration and kicked the center glass table in our living room. "He should have cal
Camille POV"This is Camille," I whispered to myself as I walked into AX gallery that morning. After contemplating whether I should take the offer or not, I concluded. I was going to take the job offer for the sake of the orphanage and for my parent who abandoned me there."Hello," I greeted the receptionist, a white woman who looked like she was in her fifties. The freckles on her face were visible and her grey hair was brushed to the back giving her an older look."What do you want?" Her tone was cold and when she adjusted her glasses, it's made me shiver."I have an appointment with Axel," I informed her."Axel? You don't even have respect for our boss!" She shouted and I flinched."Miss," I stared at her name tag. "Miss Emily. I am here to see Axel Banks.""You have an appointment with him?" She asked and I nodded in response.Was she deaf when I talked about an appointment with her? "I already
Camille POVI woke up to a splitting headache. My body felt numb but I struggled to raise my hand and it's worked. "Alina," I mumbled and I held the pillow as if my life depended on it. "Alina," I mumbled again.I sniffed the air and the amazing smell of Jasmine infiltrated my nostrils. I remembered that Alina and I never had that smell in our home.Where was I? I thought and tossed it on the bed. My hand hit another pillow. I remembered only having one pillow.When did I get a second pillow? I thought."You must be having a nice sleep but I know you are awake Camille," That's the voice... Husky but cool.My eyes fluttered open and I screamed out loud when I saw Axel's handsome face staring back at me."Oh my God!" I yelled and turned to the other side. I landed on the ground and hit my hand on the lampstand. "Ouch!" I groaned out in pain."Easy there," Axel rushed to my side and helped
Camille POV" Hell no Camille, you can go to work dressed like that!" Alina yelled at me and yanked the blue gown I held in my hand. it was a bodycon dress I bought when I graduated from Art School. it was the perfect dress I could think of for my first day at an AX gallery but Alina was against the idea." you don't look professional enough in that dress. you need to look like you have come to work!" she shouted at me." What is wrong with the blue dress?" I asked." Everything is wrong about the dress. It looks like you are going to a disco party."she lied. The dress doesn't look like a disco outfit. it was a short bodycon dress that reached below my knees. it was a lovely dress that could be worn to an office but my annoying roommate was against the idea." that's a lie," I argued but she shushed me and rummaged My Closet." This is a perfect outfit," Alina dropped a long
Axel POVHer face was everywhere. I couldn't stop thinking about her every damn minute. I wanted her close to me and never leave my side. my wolf cried every second in my head longing for its mate and craving for her attention.when we entered the Elevator together, I wanted to slam her back on the doors and kissed her until she was out of breathe but even if I wanted to, I couldn't.I couldn't because of her. That's her is Kourtney, my first love and the one I had thought I would spend my life with. It's was all because of the damn curse. I lost her forever because of my fate. And now that she had reincarnated as Camille, I couldn't be with her because it would put her at risk of death.I'm a man of many enemies and once they found out that I had found my mate, they would find Camille and killed her. Trust me, it's hurt so much to see the face of my previous lover and not be able to get close to her because I feared that she
Camille POVHave You Ever Felt something for someone and then you find out that that one person you like wants someone else? That's exactly how I felt when I saw Penelope and Axel. I didn't know why I was drawn to Axel. The feelings were hard to explain and it was strong enough to let the tears roll down my face.It was the first time I was attracted to a man. I admit that I have crushes on celebrities but I never had any boyfriend. The attraction was strong and I thought I could go crazy if I don't confess my feelings to him.Why do I have to fall for someone like him? I thought as I walked into my new office. "Hey," Remi walked towards me and touched me on the shoulder. "Did you see the boss?" He asked.I looked at him and shook my head. He seemed to understand that I wasn't in the mood to talk as he asked no further questions and I walked into my new studio with my head lowered. I sat down in one corner of the studio and b
"Aaah Choo," I sneezed for the umpteenth time that morning. After the rain incident with Axel a day before, I had been sneezing nonstop. My throat was sore making it hard to talk for too long. My runny nose made me sniffle every few seconds. It's was as if the world was against me.It's was all because of Axel."That's the hundredth time you've sneezed today," Alina pointed out. " you sure you can go to work today? Tell your boss that's you are sick!" She shouted."I am fine," I coughed."You are fine? Girl, you are sick. Your eyes are red and you won't stop sneezing!" She sounded like the mother I never had."I've taken pain relievers this morning. I'll be fine," I told her and grabbed my brown bag from my bed. "I'm all done." I adjusted my blue chiffon top and sniffled."You are so adamant and you wouldn't listen even if I try to convince you to stay at home!" Alina touched my shoulders and squeezed them
