Masuk~ Travis' POV ~ I loosened my tie as soon as I walked into my hotel room. It was dark but I didn't bother turning on the lights, as the curtains were up, the city light was enough to guide me around the room. I dropped my jacket and tie on the couch, got rid of my shoes and socks. Walking barefoot was one weird thing I did and I found it relaxing, always. The floor was warm from the heater despite the cold weather, I walked towards the fridge opened it and brought out a bottle of whisky. I needed some alcohol to drain the stress I had to go through and headaches from the last two days. I haven't had a proper rest, this wasn't a vacation but my anger had made me push my body to its limit. I attended meetings, conference interviews and press talks scheduled for a whole week in two days, and this third day was the worst. I had to work overnight and go through the company finance by myself. It was at the brink of bankruptcy and any time a feedback was sent it's always the economy
~Camila's POV~ I threw my coat on as I walked out of the house. I could feel Terra's eye almost creating a hole at the back of my head. I kinda felt bad for her, I knew what Travis could be like, but I couldn't disturb Mila's sleep. She needs as much sleep as she can and I just quickly need to get this done. I ordered a less attention-seeking car to be cleaned and get ready for me, after the house arrest Travis had put me under when we got married, I seem to have more power and controlled things around the house like a wife of a billionaire that I was. This was a secret meeting, I couldn't risk the media heating up over me meeting with a man while my husband was away. I hit the road, driving through the busy city, my mind half focused on the road and half occupied with thought of how my life became this complicated. My parents wouldn't even check up on me, except, of course, my mother who called once in a while to check if I was well behaved in my marriage. I might as well
~ Camila's POV ~I heard the door creaked open and my heart almost jumped out of my body as Mila's cute chubby face popped out from behind the door. "Mommy," She squealed as she ran towards me. I stood frozen to a spot with wide eyes. My heart thumped loudly as she hugged my legs with cute giggles. I wasn't ready for this, I still can't believe I'm married to a pervert, so I tired so much to avoid her, I had so much on my mind and I knew she's too young to be around such toxic environment at that point. But here she is, with her big eyes pouting cutely to be carried. I bent unconsciously, my body acting on its own as I took her in my arms. Her smile grew wider as her chubby but tiny hands wrapped around my neck. "How did you get here Chumpkin?" I mumbled to myself and patted her back. Tera, Mila's nanny soon appeared at the door breathing heavily like she was being chased by a ghost. "I'm sorry ma'am," she apologised as she stepped into the room. "She wouldn't s
~ Camila's POV ~ I didn't know how long I sat down staring at nothing, my mind drifting away while I held my pen. Two days It's been two days since Travis travelled. Two days since I discovered his secret daughter. Two days since I had to think about my next move. And far more than two days of pretending I was fine while my world quietly tilted on its axis. The room was silent, except for the faint ticking of the clock on the wall. Each second passed, reminding me that time was moving even though I felt stuck. I leaned back in my chair and stared at the ceiling, my grip on the pen tightened a little as I exhaled slowly and brought my gaze back down. This constructed arrangement called marriage was never supposed to be permanent, it's meant to be simple and temporary, he gets what he wants I do and it's over. But Travis had made his stance painfully clear. He had no plans for a divorce, and that alone complicated everything. If I try to go ahead and file forcefull
~ Camila's POV ~ “Daddy said you’d be here.” "What?!" I sat upright on the bed staring at the little girl like I was dreaming. "I didn't mean to wake you up, Daddy said not to." Not a word came out of my mouth I just continued staring at her, trying to comprehend what was going on. Her stomach growled softly. "Tera is still asleep," She gestured to her tummy slowly, "I'm hungry." She said and tilted her head a little to the side. I stood from the bed still not believing what was before me. "What's your name?" I asked. "Mila." "Alright, let's get you something to eat." I took her hands but the words that flew out of her mouth the next moment made me stop dead in my tracks. "Are you my new mummy?"–––Something bitter ran through my blood. The feeling of being betrayed stung once more even more than it did with George. I wasn't supposed to be hurt but I was, I shouldn't have let my heart lead me. And now I'm back in the same pit I came out from. He
~ Camilla's Pov ~ The ride home was not the usual kind of silent ride I have with Travis. He sat closer I could feel the heat radiating off him, my hands in his. We said nothing, but the tension was loud in the air as his thumb drew circles over my hand. It was weird at first, but seeing how lost he was, staring out of the window, it seemed like he was trying to soothe himself, so I let him. I yawned in exhaustion as the event of the night was quite it. Margaret kept introducing tons of men to Travis, and business talks kept going till my heels hurt from standing too long. I bet he noticed how I moved from foot to foot. His eyes rested on me for a while before he interrupted the man he was speaking with. "My wife is exhausted for tonight. We will continue this discussion another time." The man chuckled nervously and blinked a few times. "Apologies Mrs. Walker, I wouldn't mind having a proper meeting with you, Sir." He stretched his hands for a handshake, which Travis took
