3 Weeks Later

“Congratulations, ma’am,”

“Congratulations ma’am Camille,”

Camille had a warm smile on her lips, she welcomed and appreciated the congratulatory messages people has been giving her.

Camille looked so different, she was putting in a black blazer suit, matching it with a red stiletto heels, she looked so beautiful.

“When does this end?” Camille whispered to the lady beside her, the new secretary assigned to her.

“In an hour time,”Kate replied glancing at her wristwatch while Camille had a pout on, getting bored with the whole thing.

“We meet again,”She suddenly heard a familiar masculine voice, she lifted her face, her eyes scrutinized the figure.

It’s the man that helped her that day, what was he doing here?

She blinked her eyes, “You-”

“Oh wow, I’m glad you remembered me. You left in such a hurry that day, who would have thought I’d meet you here?” The man said and Camille cleared her throat.

“Xavier Huston. Number one top list of the first Trillionaire on the world top chart, he’s from-” Kate whispered into Camille’s ear but Xavier’s glare made Kate stop.

“Allow me to introduce myself, I go by the name Xavier Huston. What’s yours?” Xavier asked bringing his hand forward for an handshake which Camille took.

“I’m sorry about the other day, I’m Camille, Camille Sylvia Guevara.”

Like Camille’s soft voice sink deeply into Xavier’s head, he didn’t let go of her hand as they both stared at each other, lost.

Camille didn’t take a good look at him the other day but now, he looked so different and handsome. His deep grey colored eyes matches his well arranged brown eye brows, his lips did justice ny being pouty and pink…

‘What am I thinking!’ Camille snapped out of it and withdrew her hand.

“Did you come for the inauguration? My Daddy didn’t mention the Huston coming,” Camille asked instead while Xavier shrug his shoulders.

“No, though I heard about Leonard’s daughter inauguration. I never imagined it would be you until I came to check something in the area and then, I strolled down this hall and lo and behold, I saw your face from afar,” He explained calmly

He suddenly chuckles, “And there’s no way I won’t recognize your face after that incident. You’re hard to forget,” He added making Camille’s cheeks flustered.

She shook it off immediately, ‘this is not the time to fall for some sort of guy! Not after Diego did me dirt!” Camille cautioned herself.

“Once again, I’m sorry for the other day-” Camille rambled but stopped mid-way when Kate whispered something into her ear.

A smile appeared on her lips then she turned back to Xavier who was still standing, “I’m sorry Mr Xavier, I have to go, we will see some other time,” Camille said and with that she walked away with Kate following behind.

Xavier stood still, “Sure, we will surely meet again,” He whispered to himself as rub his lower lips seductively.

“Sir! I’ve been searching g for you, the business partner has arrived, they’re at the third floor,” Mike, Xavier’s assistant called after him.

Xavier adjusted his suit, “Mike? Find out more about Leonard’s daughter,” He instructed while Mike furrows his brows.

“Why? I don’t think we have any business with the Guevara….” Mike kept quiet instantly when he saw the deadly gaze Xavier gave to him.

“I’m taking an interest in one of the Guevara, do you have a problem with that?” He glowered while Mike lowered his head in an instant.

“I’m sorry about that,” Mike apologized

Then Xavier suddenly scoffed, “Even if you do have a problem with that, does it look like I care? Helll no. Don’t be a fool! ” He fired at him while Mike nod.

“Find everything about her, down to the lingerie she wears!” Xavier added taking the lead back to the third floor.

[QUEEN’s VILLA- The Rodrigo company ]

“What did you mean?! What did you mean you lost our very last chance! Are you daft?!” Diego yelled at his staffs, his office in a dismay, his tie has loosen and even his hair has scattered.

“We are sorry, We thought we were buying them to our side until the Huston Elite took the lead, they gave them huge profits,” One his staff said and Diego’s eyes narrowed.

“Huston? Isn’t that Xavier? Shit! You lost to Xavier again?! We will be bankrupt before you know it!” Diego bellowed and slam his fist on the table.

Xavier Huston has been his rival since day one, they aren’t in good terms. Diego hates the fact that the Huston is richer than them.

“Sir,,” someone interrupted them, “A letter came from the Guevaras” The lady announced and the look on Diego’s face changed. His eyebrows rose and his eyes lit up, he’s been trying to get to the Guevara for a very long time, finally!

“What did it say?” He asked taking the letter from her, he opened it. “ You’re invited to Sylvia C Guevara ’s Welcome Party?” He read out.

“He has found his daughter? Wow,” He added.

A petty smirk appeared on his lips, “I can’t believe I’m invited to this party! An opportunity I must not miss! I must get the Guevara investment into my company!” He exclaimed loudly looking at the letter with great ecstasy.

    (THE FOLLOWING WEEK)Camille sat at the waiting room, her breath caught in her throat as she took in the sight of Tiana. Camille had decided to visit her today but TianA was totally different, the once-vibrant woman she’d known now looked like a shadow of her former self. Dark circles clung beneath Tiana's eyes, and her skin, usually radiant, now appeared hollow and sallow. Her hair is a total mess.“How have you been, Tiana?” Camille called softly, that was then Tiana lifted her gaze, only to meet Camille’s.“What do you want, Camille? You’re the least person I’d thought of seeing today! ” Tiana’s voice was flat, echoing with the weight of unspoken pain.“Not like I’ve got a choice? But I felt like if I don’t say these words to you, I might never fight peace too,” Camille said, resting her back against the chair. . “You look... exhausted.” She hesitated, searching for the right words. “You can’t keep going like this. You need to find peace too.”Tiana laughed, a harsh, manic soun

His figure moved swiftly towards her, arms wide open as if he were preparing to catch her in a warm embrace that had been too long in coming. “You’re finally back! We’ve missed you so much!”As he enveloped her in a bear hug, Camille felt all the worry and fear that had clung to her for so long begin to melt away.

    ————————Camille's eyelids fluttered as consciousness slowly seeped back into her weary mind, and she blinked against the harsh glare of the fluorescent lights above. Her blurry vision adjusted, she caught sight of familiar faces anxiously waiting by her bedside. Xavier's eyes, usually so full of life, were clouded with worry. He reached out instinctively at the sound of her shallow breaths, his hand gripping hers with a mix of relief and fear. “I’m here, I’m here. You survived, my queen.” He had mumbled happily.Beside him stood her father, his expression a blend of worry and gladness. His expression became something comforting to Camille, she was not alone.Then her eyes caught the doctors standing beside her, for some minutes, the doctor examined her thoroughly before turning to Leonard, “She’s fine now. All she needs is to respond quickly to the treatment,” The doctor explained.“Thank you Doc.”“If there’s any issue again kindly reach out to me as soon as possible,” With that t
