~ Camilla's POV ~

I stared at the gown on the chair, my fingers hovering but not touching. The silken red fabric was exquisite, the kind of dress that made everyone turn their heads, but it felt like a costume, not mine.

“I don’t want to go,” I muttered under my breath, staring at my reflection in the mirror. The woman who stared back at me looked like a stranger. I could see the bags under my own eyes.

A light knock on the door, and I already knew who it was.

"Come in," I said, still staring back at myself in the mirror.

"They're here, ma'am," Mary's voice boomed from outside.

"Let them in," I sighed.

Two women entered, one carrying a large box, the other a small case.

“Good evening, ma’am. I’m your makeup artist, and she’s your hair stylist,” one of them announced.

I nodded. Soon, they set to work. Brushes traced across my face, and pins twisted my hair. They showed me catalogs to choose from, but I barely looked. If only Olivia were here, I thought. She’d know what to

  • Married to the billionaire for revenge    Chapter 32

    ~ Camilla's POV ~I heard baby giggles before the door slammed shut louder than necessary. I stood instinctively but Alex appeared in front of me immediately, I was taken aback. "I'll escort you back to your quarters, ma'am." His voice came out oddly sharp. I said nothing and just followed him, I knew I wasn't hallucinating, yet I couldn't understand what just happened. The air felt thick with something unspoken — suspicion. I could feel goosebumps on my skin. I had to be more careful. A series of thoughts filled my mind since that night, the words of the stranger kept ringing in my head. 'He's not who you think he is' What could Travis be involved in? I wondered.I was filled with mixed feelings, excitement that I have finally confirmed Travis had a skeleton in hiding and the dread feeling that I might be caught up in all of this. By the time the door opened Travis was long gone, and I was escorted back to the quarters. "You might want to tell what tonight

    ~Travis POV ~The tick sound of the wall clock filled the room. My jaw tightened as I rubbed my chin in circles for what felt like hours, lost in thoughts. I had slept in on my own game that I was almost beaten at it. Ending everything right there and then was my only decision as soon as he spoke about Camilla. No one touches what's mine.Yet I couldn't take such drastic action, I needed him alive if I wanted to know the truth. I could still see the horrified look on his face when I shot him in the leg, he thought I'd be scared because he joined a gang. I scoffed at the thought, just then Alex strode into the study after a light knock."Thought you'd like this," He handed over the file in his hands as he got to my desk and I went through it. My brows scrunched as I checked the content, I had seen that tats somewhere...but I couldn't figure where. "The men who carry that mark," he pointed to the picture in my hand. "They are a dangerous cult community, they have no

    ~ Travis POV ~ “Change of plans,” I ordered the driver, already texting Alex to adjust his route.Camilla’s head whipped toward me. “What do you mean, change of plans? Where are we going?”I didn’t answer, trying to gather my thoughts.The SUV ahead swerved off the main road, and we followed, trees closing in as branches scraped the sides of the car.“Travis,” her voice sharpened, demanding. “Where are you taking me?”Finally, I turned to her.“You wanted to prove yourself, little doll?” My lips curved into something between a smile and a threat. “Good. Because you’re about to.” The words slipped out before I could stop them. I wasn’t sure why—but damn, I liked the way her face drained of color.I forced down a laugh and focused on my phone. What’s wrong with me? I wasn’t the type to play games, yet here I was taunting her when I had real business to handle.Her stare burned into the side of my head. "You're going to burn a hole in my head if you keep staring like that." I muttered,

    ~Travis’ POV~ Fierce. Brave. Bold Reckless! The words rang loudly in my head as the horse leapt in the air and took off. My eyes widened in shock. What the hell was she thinking?! “Stop her!” I barked at the men outside. They both exchanged puzzled looks, “She’s a trained rider, she'll be fine.” One of the men with a brown cowboy hat said and the other who seemed to be a junior staff nodded in agreement. “Do you have a dead wish?!” My voice cut cold through gritted teeth. “I don't care if she's trained or not. I do not want her on that horse.” “She already rode off, you expect us to chase after her?” Cowboy hat mocked, both men laughed under their breath. I chuckled dryly, my jaw tightened with a clenched fist. I shook my head slightly, then it dawned on me they didn't know who I was. They'd be begging for their lives by the time they find out. A man in his early forties walked out of the stables holding a bucket. “What's going on—”He froze at the sight of me. “

  • Married to the billionaire for revenge    Chapter 28

    ~ Camilla’s POV ~ The car jolted as we swerved deeper into the dirt road, branches scraping against the windows like claws. My heart thumped rapidly in my chest, the sound loud in my ears, drowning out the steady hum of the engine. Every horror movie I’d ever seen came rushing back in flashes. A remote road, a man with too much power, a woman trapped. My nails dug into my palms until I felt the sting. Am I being abducted by my own husband? What if Travis had finally lost it? What if this was where he ended me? I shifted in my seat, blood draining from my face at the thought. The driver’s expression remained blank, his eyes fixed on the path ahead, but the tension in his jaw told me he wasn’t comfortable either. I turned my gaze to Travis, his eyes never left his phone, his fingers moved vigorously with calculated swipes, his expression unreadable. Just him in complete control as always. "You're going to burn a hole in my head if you keep staring like that." He muttered, eye

  • Married to the billionaire for revenge    Chapter 27

    ~ Camilla's POV ~I spotted men in suits gathered near the stables with Travis fuming and pacing at the centre, his hands moved as he spoke; it was obvious he was barking orders. What was the fuse about? I thought as I rode quickly towards them urging the horse faster.The horse neighed loudly as we got closer, grabbing their attention. Relief flashed across the staff faces as though they saw some sort of salvation, most of them were shivering while the others sweat profusely.I got off the horse and handed the reins to one of the staff who was shivering in fear. “What's going on?” I asked. Travis strode towards me hands in his pocket. His face calm, too calm for the storm brewing in his eyes, I gulped nervously. “You take such pleasure in defying me.” He said through gritted teeth as he unbuckled my helmet with ease.I scoffed, heat flushed down my cheeks at the that sudden intimacy. “Defying you? What are you some kind of king?” He slid his arm around my waist
