Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Five Camilla’s POVMy purse and phone were taken from me by Skye. I was still in shock and awe. I looked over to my grandpa. He had a very big smile on his face. He nodded to Raphael, hinting at me to walk to him. I went to where Raphael stood, inside a circle of rose petals. I wasn’t expecting this at all. Sure, we had talked about getting married again but I didn’t think it would happen this soon. I wasn’t complaining though.He held my hands. “Camilla.” He started. I didn’t want the tears to come out just yet. “I never thought we would find ourselves here again, but life has a way of going around things. You’ve been my biggest blessing and I'm super honoured and proud to call you mine.”“Raphael.” He really wanted to make me cry.“We still have a long way to go. The thought of spending forever with you makes me believe that life is worth living. I have so much to say but im going to save that for when you officially become my wife.” He reached behind
Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Four Camilla’s POV I’d spend time with Rory, Raphael and Jason during the day. It was their school's Christmas carol. I had to go into work in the evening to finish up some work and officially start my break. It was a much needed vacation which we had been planning for a while now. I worked until it was late at night and then I headed back home. I freshened up and then I had dinner. I was about to call Raphael but he already beat me to it. “Are you home?” He asked when I picked up the phone. “Yeah, I was just about to call you.” I said. I got into bed and we talked for a long time. It had become a daily ritual. We made it a habit to talk to each other at the end of the day. I didn’t know how it happened but I fell asleep on the call. When I woke up the next morning, I checked my phone and saw that Raphael had sent me a message the previous night. It was enough to make me smile and think that it would be a good day. I had a lot of things planned fo
Chapter One Hundred and Fifty ThreeRaphael’s POVTHREE MONTHS LATERA few weeks had passed since the kidnapping incident. It was safe to say that Jason and Rory had gotten over the incident. They still had occasional nightmares but it was nothing too serious. Camilla had resumed her work as CEO, her wrist was as good as new. I’d also asked her officially to be my girlfriend. I didn’t want to keep moving around without a label.We had received a call earlier that Isaiah had gotten into a fight in prison and died. The trial was a few days away from starting when that happened. I didn’t know how to feel about that news. He basically made my and my loved ones' lives a living hell but on the other hand, we shared part of the same blood.Our chapter with him was closed after that incident. They still investigated his death to rule out any type of foul play.Things were going good in our lives. Camilla and I were in a really good place and the kids were doing so much better. We were planni
Chapter One Hundred and Fifty TwoRaphael’s POVAfter the last phone call, I was determined to take Isaiah down. I would make sure he spent the rest of his life in jail. His words about Jason triggered me in ways I didn’t expect them to. I thought I was over it. I still had to let Tori know that Jason was my son no matter what.The officers didn't want to let me go with them to the warehouse but after much negotiation, they allowed me to go with them. I promised Camilla and Tori to bring both kids back alive.They put a bulletproof vest on me and we got into the car. They sent a small drone to look over the area first and already confirmed that Isaiah was there. They didn't see the kids but they already knew they were there.The ride there felt long as hell. It was like every minute that passed by was a minute closer to something happening to my kids. As we approached the warehouse, the cars turned off their sirens. They didn’t want to alert them. It was a small abandoned warehouse t
Chapter One Hundred and Fifty One Camilla’s POVThe police had gone to Isaiah’s house but he wasn’t there. We all saw that coming. Some of his men were there and were taken in for questioning.It was more than two hours and no progress had been made. My arm was hurting. My head and eyes were also hurting.Martha had woken up and she could barely remember anything. She said the last thing she saw was a tattoo on the man’s arm before he knocked her out. She described the tattoo as much as she could remember.An anonymous tip came in later along with a picture. There was a black car found in the location where the vans were found two days before. It had been sitting there and had disappeared randomly. The person attached a picture of the car.The police worked on tracing it and they found out that it had appeared in one of the nearby security cameras leaving that night around the same time the vans were dumped.They started tracking the car and they were also tracking the number that ca
Chapter One Hundred and FiftyCamilla’s POVAfter my dance with Raphael, he went back to take a seat. I moved around the room having conversations with different people. I got tired of saying thank you to all the congratulations I received.I noticed Raphael, Skye and Alexander going out of the hall. I was curious about what they were going to do but I just decided to focus on what I was doing. Maybe they were planning something.The band was still playing background music while conversations were going on. My legs were already tired at this point from walking around. It was almost midnight at this point and the gala would soon be over.Whispers were flying around that there was an ambulance and police cars around the venue. I also heard that there were officers in the building. Christian went outside to check on the situation. While waiting for him to return, I remembered Raphael, Skye, and Alexander leaving. I also noticed that Martha and Rory weren’t in the hall. The last time I s
