Camellia looked reluctant when Hagen opened the car door for her. She looked around, looking for a way home other than the ride Hagen had offered, but knowing that the money in her purse would not get her home, Camellia sighed and looked witheringly at the man’s car.“Going home alone is not a good solution right now. It’s too late, Princess, and I can’t leave you alone,” said Hagen, who opened the car door wider again.With a head gesture, he told Camellia to come inside. She thought for a long time before finally letting her inner voice overcome her logic.“I’m not going in until you promise me something.”Seeing Camellia’s serious gaze, Hagen waits patiently with one hand in his trouser pocket. His eyebrows seemed to invite Camellia to continue.While swallowing and looking straight at his obsidian eyes, Camellia said, “Don’t follow me into the house. You just walk me to the front door.”Hagen paused to think about her request. He was going to say something but finally pursed his l
Camellia opened the door of her house, where Frank was already standing at the front with both hands full of gifts. The man’s straight face showed that he didn’t agree with being given such an unreasonable task, but his loyalty kept him from saying anything.With a passive gaze, he greeted Camellia with no enthusiasm.“Mr. Hagen asked me to deliver all of these.”Camellia, who was stunned by the man’s many belongings, could only freeze at the doorway. She just stood there for a moment, glancing at all the gifts.“He said... that party is in two days,” she whispers in a confused tone.It seemed that Hagen had predicted that she would ‘agree’, so he was so confident that he sent all of the gifts and deliver all the clothes and other items for the party even before Camellia answer his called.Camellia took a deep breath after realizing his intentions with all the things delivered to her house. She just exhaled slowly; don’t know what to do with the situations.“He’s too confident,” she m
Camellia’s head dropped as she stepped off the bus that was taking her to the bus stop on the way home. She didn’t look around because she had been thinking so much about the woman earlier.She didn’t even look up when she accidentally bumped into someone in front of her. She just said sorry without even turning her head. Then she walked past the burly body in front of her.However, her steps stopped as she heard a masculine voice call for her.“What’s in your beautiful head, Princess?” asked the man who instantly made Camellia freeze before she finally turned to the source of the voice, which was now standing right behind her.Camellia just stared sadly at that handsome face that seemed to be looking for an answer for a moment. But, of course, she surely wouldn’t say anything after everything happened.After all, it wasn’t his business if she felt dumped.The truth, Camellia felt saved by the incident with the woman earlier, because she could be more aware of the intentions of the ma
The news of the affair scandal and corruption case involving Edgar Duncan, a well-known and very prominent businessman in Lancester, was covered by the entire television network for a few days. After the affair case gained media attention, Amanda Duncan filed for divorce.“Amanda Duncan has chosen not to speak out about the scandal that led to her husband’s ouster. The former model pleaded with the press to stop asking where she was. Because of the lawsuit that involved her husband and family, Amanda was going through a period of self-healing,” according to a reporter from one of the media, who played a videotape of Amanda being accompanied by numerous bodyguards as she got into a car in the middle of paparazzi and media.On the television, the former model looked to be hiding her face under a scarf, a hat, and heavy black sunglasses.As soon as they heard the news, which was being shown on a screen on the wall near the waiting room, several people stopped in the hospital lobby.Camel
Camellia unlocked her home’s door after arriving from the hospital. As soon as she noticed that her home’s living room was devoid of all the luxurious furniture that had previously been in it, she was hit by a wave of memories.Her eyes were heated, and the girl’s hand stopped on the doorknob as she scanned the room. Not the slightest memory is still present.The paintings and photographs that previously covered both sides of the wall have now vanished, leaving only a faint trace. A dark outline, like a picture frame, suggests that something was there before.The decorations on the wall, which cost millions of dollars, were arranged to cover the entire space, as Camellia can still clearly recall.The house door was quietly closed as Camellia entered it with exhausted steps.In an instant, the girl’s body is on the ground. Her head was resting on her wobbly knees as she curled up. As if she weren’t strong enough to survive all that happened in a blitz to wear her out.She still h
Camellia made her way to the entrance with cautious steps. However, she had previously experienced this at the initial stages of her father’s bankruptcy. At that time, numerous debt collectors visited their homes and forcibly moved the furniture, which included everything from individual paintings to photo albums. The picture frames were expensive, costing hundreds of dollars. Camellia was aware of it, but she was powerless to interfere. Instead, she asked for the prompt return of each sheet of photographs. She also remembers very well how the cabinets and vases had been removed until they had gone. Camellia is finding it difficult to decide what to wear outside the house. There are no longer any wearable things there as a result. What else did they request this time, then? Her body? Camellia also shook her head at the direction her thoughts were going. She had no intention of bringing herself to that level, where her sadness would inevitably grow. She quickly adjusted her look,
Blake Hagen is the one who Lancester City fears most. He was a master in his field, and part of what he was doing was allegedly unlawful. Camellia once heard a story about the man who worked in a place he shouldn’t have.Many individuals are wary of making Blake Hagen angry because they want to come to terms with the man who owns obsidian eyes.That is why Camellia was unable to meet the man’s gaze after learning the name was strictly forbidden in Lancester City. Furthermore, she is currently on the man’s radar, which is bad news for Camellia’s future.“Why don’t you accept my handshake?”When the man asked, Camellia’s head immediately shot up. She then understood that Hagen had been expecting a handshake from her earlier, which Camellia had refused to do.She had no option, though. Considering that rejection is the same as wanting to die.The girl bravely held back her annoyance and faced Hagen without even a hint of fear. She must remain vigilant, particularly with men of this
“Say my name.”Hagen touched the tips of their noses purposefully, causing Camellia to momentarily pause her breath. “That way, I’ll let you go.”Camellia’s chest started to rise and fall. Her lungs started screaming for air in an instant. There was something about the man’s closeness that made her feel trapped.Uncomfortable, Camellia’s tongue’s tip brushed against her slightly wet lips, drawing Hagen’s attention unintentionally.As soon as she realized her mistake, Camellia pursed her lips, lightly biting the inside of her cheek, and cursed to herself.The girl in front of him was acting so naively, and Hagen couldn’t resist the temptation. He purposefully brushed Camellia’s lips with the tip of his thumb, which caused the girl’s eyes to bulge like the full moon and caused her to immediately choke on her breath.“Are you having trouble pronouncing my name, Princess?” Hagen asked in a low, masculine voice.She had silky, rosy cheeks, and this enhanced her beauty. Camellia, a
