Nora/Camilla’s POV

I plugged my phone in to charge before heading into the bathroom to take a shower.

It was already evening and darkness was about dominating the sky, but Steve and his family still weren't back.

I really took my time in the shower, washing away the shame and hurt Steve had stamped me with. I got dressed up and headed to the dining room for dinner.

I was gently munching my food when I heard the car horn and the sound of the gate opening. They had arrived.

I didn't move an inch. I just sat there anticipating their arrival and the show that was about happening. From that moment onward, that mansion had become hell for them.

The main door flung open and I could hear their loud chattering. Steve sounded so happy like that was the best day of his life.

Then, everywhere became silent. I could feel their presence behind me- Cassandra's annoying gaze on me, but I didn't turn around.

“Camilla,” Steve called in a low voice wanting to be sure I was the one seated.

  • NORA: THE MAFIA QUEEN; THE ALPHA'S MATE   The First Blood on Her Return

    Nora/Camilla’s POVI was seated at the cafe, awaiting my father's arrival. The address included in his message was “Oriental Cafe- Table 5.” It was a few minutes past 5 in the evening and he was nowhere to be found. My father who I knew was always on time- meaning that he was intentionally keeping me waiting. He knew he had the upper hand and I had no choice than to accept all he dished my way After keeping me waiting for 30 minutes, he finally arrived- his men trailing behind him as always. “Hello, Sis,” Alaric waved his hand at me, but I ignored him. I had no business with him and the person I was there for was my father. My father sat opposite me, settling in before he began his speech. “Hi Nora. How are you doing?” He questioned, clearing his throat. Instead of responding, I said: “You're late- 30 minutes late and I know it was intentional. Because you're always on time.”“Well, thank goodness you still remember a bit about me. And like you said, it was intentional. And I h

  • NORA: THE MAFIA QUEEN; THE ALPHA'S MATE   The Mistress Commands

    Nora/Camilla's POV. “Ma’am ....” Cassandra stammered, trailing off- her voice barely audible. “I’m still waiting, Cassandra. We don’t have all day and remember; you are still going to feed me. My baby is quite hungry,” I replied, sipping my juice with my other hand resting on my belly. Her lips trembled with her fists clenched by her sides. For a moment, I thought she was going to scream, snap at me and reveal their little secret- but instead, she slowly got on her knees. Tears welled up in her eyes, but I didn’t care. I was unmoved, because I shed more than that when I discovered her betrayal. She leaned forward; her elbows resting on the floor like a dog who was preparing to devour a bone. Her lips hovered on the food and just as she was about to savor it, Steve interrupted once again. “Enough, Camilla. You’re going overboard,” he growled, hitting the table. A loud noise erupted from the hit, but I didn’t flinch. I just stared at him- undisturbed. “What are you doing,

  • NORA: THE MAFIA QUEEN; THE ALPHA'S MATE   Her Game, Her Rules

    Nora/Camilla’s POV I didn’t get a wink of sleep during the night. When they started and began the deed- when Cassandra walked out of the room at daybreak, I was awake- witnessing everything, but they failed to realize that. That morning, I acted as usual- pretending not to have witnessed anything overnight. “Baby, how are you?” Steve or should I say Marlik, had asked, acting all loving. His voice, his touch, his face- in fact everything about him irritated me, but I had to keep up with it, forcing a smile on my face. “It couldn’t have been more splendid. I had such an amazing night rest- all thanks to my baby,” I replied, rubbing my belly. Steve smiled upon hearing my response. He reached to kiss my forehead- I didn’t move, didn’t flinch. I allowed him to do what he wanted. Bile formed in my throat as his lips touched my skin, but I gulped it down. I wanted him to think he still had me wrapped around his fingers- that I was still a fool. “I’m glad you are fine. Th

    Nora/Camilla’s POV Forest burning- me surrounded by wolves. I was knelt in a circle, clutching tightly onto the lifeless body of a child held in my arms. Tears, screams, lightning and then ....... to the garden once again. There she was- that little girl. But that time around, she wasn’t calling out to me to run. She was standing in the garden with tears in her eyes, gently mouthing the words- “Mummy, save me.” My father was behind her, holding her captive with a knife held to her neck. He had this sinister smile on his face- a smile which screamed dominance, victory, and ruthlessness. “Bid her goodbye.” my father’s cruel voice boomed, letting out mischievous laughter. “No ...... No.......” I shook my head violently, trying to stop him- struggling to save her. I tried to move, but I couldn’t. It felt like my feet were glued to the spot- rooted in failure and loss. “Don’t do this,” I begged with desperation, tears streaming down my eyes. “Take me, instead. Please!!” But I

  • NORA: THE MAFIA QUEEN; THE ALPHA'S MATE   Let the Bloodbath Begins

    Nora/Camilla’s POV I sat on a stand in front of the mirror in my room. I was doing my skincare routine, preparing to call it a night when I heard a knock on the door. “Come in,” I said. Jarvis walked into the room with a tray held in her hands. It was a normal routine of hers- for her to serve me a cup of tonic every night. “Ma’am, here’s your tonic,” she said, carefully placing it on the table. I didn’t say anything. I just stared at that cup of tonic. The same cup of tonic they had laced with Ketorolac for months. And each night, I gulped down the tonic like an idiot. “Should I wait for the cup or leave it, Ma’am?” Jarvis politely asked with a smile on her face. I let out a heavy breath, suppressing the storm building up inside of me. Forcing a smile on my face, I said: “You can leave it, Jarvis. I will get the cup to the kitchen when I am done.” “Okay, Ma’am. Goodnight,” she bowed her head slightly, before turning around to leave. But just as she was about grabbi

  • NORA: THE MAFIA QUEEN; THE ALPHA'S MATE   Crawl, Bark and Vanish!!

    Camiila’s POV Silence enveloped the room. I gently walked towards Cassandra, playing the confused, hurt wife. “That’s Impossible?” I asked, titling my head innocently. “What do you mean? Are you saying I can’t be pregnant? Why? Are you not happy for me?” Cassandra’s lips parted open, but no word came out. She gripped tightly onto the hem of her dress, with her eyes anxiously travelling to Steve and then back to me. “I....... I didn’t mean it that way, Mrs. Smith,” she stammered, swallowing hard. “I was just surprised........ You know, after the countless failed IVF treatments and your health condition............” she traileed off and then gasped when she realized she had shot herself in the leg. My failed IVFs? My health condition? Didn’t she think before opening her mouth? That information was what only Steve and I knew. “My failed IVF treatments? My health condition?” I smirked; my arms folded on my chest. “And how did you get to know about all these because the last time
