Camila's POV

“What do you mean it has just begun? This site was one of the first ones that were named to start and pave the way for all the others,”

I almost thought that I was tripping, till I looked at the documents on my tablet and confirmed that Riverdale was truly one of the sites that was supposed to be ahead of all the others.

The manager's eyes became shifty, and his hesitation was starting to make me a bit nervous.

Some things were not adding up, and I was trying my best to keep calm a

  • My One-Night Stand Was My Stepbrother   Chapter 40

    Camila's POVI felt the glare on my back as I was walking into the room. Samantha had to be seething with rage, but had no otherwise but to remain professional.I went ahead to take my seat and Charles made sure to sit next to me, while Prime Ventures associates were taking their seats opposite from us.Not a second later, a few more people walked into the room. Most of them were familiar faces, those of the people I had seen during the meetings that I had with Charles.And then, a last group walked in. Vicent was the one in the lead, while two women and a man followed him closely behind.Seeing the crowd getting bigger, I realized that it slipped past me about the meeting, and if it were not for Charles, I would have been walking in late into such an important meeting.Once everyone was seated, all eyes went to Vincent, who seemed to be the one supposed to head the meeting.He began by introducing the people he had walked in with as a team of legal experts that were supposed to help

  • My One-Night Stand Was My Stepbrother   Chapter 39

    Camila's POVSomething was up with Vincent. He started hovering over me at work. Or that's what I thought at least.I would be busy working on something, and then get a feeling that someone was watching me. And every time that I would look, I would find him staring at me.And then, he started working closely with me. A few days after the first site visit after my injury, he walked over to my desk and made an inquiry on a note that I had taken from the site visit.Call it whatever you want, but the inquiry was something that could have been made over the phone. Or he would have even gone ahead and asked his personal assistant to make the inquiry.I wanted to believe that I was overthinking it, but the more I looked at it, the more it didn't make sense.For someone who barely stepped out of his office to deal with anything, he was starting to roam around the floor pretty frequently.Just days after the site visit, I was seated in my cubicle going over some of the documentation that was

  • My One-Night Stand Was My Stepbrother   Chapter 38

    Kyra's POVHe was the last person that I ever expected to see in the field. And he was already walking in our direction.At that moment, my mind completely zoned out as I was still in disbelief, trying to process whether it was actually him. I wouldn't have been surprised to see Charles in the field. Vincent was a completely different kind of surprise to see.Daniel was probably talking to me, but I couldn't hear a thing. My attention was on someone else entirely. And I only remembered that I was even with Daniel when he asked, “Are you even listening to me Cam?"My brain refreshed, and I immediately looked back at Daniel who seemed slightly irritated by how I was absent-minded.I couldn't care less about what he thought or felt. As long as he made it clear that he didn't try to speak to me in private about work, nothing else mattered.He could speak all he wanted, but he wouldn't need to demand my attention. That's why I scoffed right in his face.“Are you done?" I questioned him, wa

  • My One-Night Stand Was My Stepbrother   Chapter 37

    Camila's POVIt was impossible for me not to hear her name and avoid rolling my eyes immediately. And it's not like I tried to hide it from Daniel. I made sure that he saw me do that.The last person that I wanted to talk about was the ex best friend that took my ex husband. Not only that. But I also didn't want to talk about her with the said ex-husband.“I don't want to hear anything about her from you. In fact, I don't even want to talk to you.If you really have to talk to me, keep it professional. I just got back from an injury and this is my first assignment back, can you not do this?" I asked him as I was ready to walk away.Normally, any person should have taken the hint and let me walk away. But did Daniel take the hint? Absolutely not.Was he about to let me walk away and leave me to be in peace? Absolutely not again.I felt his slimy fingers wrap around my wrist the moment I took a step away from him and was about to walk away.The anger that I had every single time I saw h

  • My One-Night Stand Was My Stepbrother   Chapter 36

    Camila's POVStepping out of the car and getting hit by a breeze of fresh air, mixed with a little bit of dust, a taste of cement, and the scent of sweat was the welcome back that I was looking forward to. I got cleared by the company to go back to the field within a few days, and I was finally back. At home, mum was still hesitant with the decision, but I assured her that I was good to go. There was no fun in me staying in the office for days after they introduced me to field work. Something about being out there and watching over the men working in the sites gave me an adrenaline rush.A woman in charge, while the men were working their asses off, and trying to make sure that I didn't see anything that was out of place. That tickled something deep inside of me that I still don't know how to explain.I walked behind my colleagues, who didn't bother to hide the fact that they were happy I was finally back.Throughout the entire car ride to the site, we caught up and gossipped a bit

  • My One-Night Stand Was My Stepbrother   Chapter 35

    Vincent's POVShe must've been thinking that I wasn't watching her, but I was. Every single day.Especially when she got injured. She doesn't know it, but I didn't visit her once. I did it three times. Two of them were after her doctor's visit, when she would be tired and ready to sleep when he told her she wasn't yet healed to come back to work.I watched her as she walked through the house, steady and careful not to injure the already healing ankle. Her dedication to leave the house and get back to work was none like I had seen before.The same thing was obvious at work. People always thought that I wasn't paying attention to the small details, only because I only talked about the big ones.Ever since I made sure Camila was told to stay home till a doctor approved that her ankle was all healed up, something changed.Prime Ventures employees came around more often than they should have. They always guised it as checking in on the progress of Margaret's case, but I could see right thr
