One Night Stand With My Stepson CHAPTER 53
CAMILLA'I pushed through the crowd, my red dress swishing around my legs, my heels threatening to betray me on the slick floor. People pushed me and I stumbled. I had to find Lucas. I had to...My phone buzzed against my thigh, hidden in a small pocket sewn into my dress. I ducked behind a pillar, my fingers trembling as I pulled it out.LUCAS: Get out. Now. Service exit west. Don't stop for anything.I looked up, my eyes scanning the ballroom. Vittorio was surrounded by his men, barking orders. His gaze swept the crowd, and for a moment, I thought it landed on me.Then it moved on.I turned and ran.The service hallway was chaos. Kitchen staff in white aprons fled past me, their faces pale with terror. A busboy dropped a tray of champagne flutes, and the crash echoed like more gunfire. I pressed my back against the wall, my heart hammering.West exit. West exit.I rounded a corner and skidded to a halt.A teenage girl huddled against the wall, her hands over her ears, her body shaki
One Night Stand With My Stepson Chapter Fifty-Two
Camilla My heart pounded as Lucas whispered, "It's time for the plan." I twisted in his grip, confused and angry. I looked up at him, trying to read his cold eyes. What was going on between him and my brother? The hallway felt thick with secrets, and it made my skin crawl. I turned back to Leo. He stood frozen, his jaw tight. His usual confidence was gone. Now he looked scared, like he wanted to hide something dark. He couldn't hide the panic in his eyes as they darted between me and Lucas. "Leo," I said, my voice shaking. "What is Lucas talking about? What happened eight years ago? Tell me." Leo said nothing. His lips pressed together. He looked at the floor, then back at Lucas with pure hate. Just silence. Guilty silence. Lucas loosened his arm, but his fingers brushed my hip. Too close. Too careful. "Go, Camilla," he said softly. "Or the plan ends now. Elena and Sophia stay trapped. Your choice." His words hit me hard. I knew the plan, our only chance to free my sisters. Wha
One Night Stand With My Stepson Chapter Fifty-One
CamillaMy heart slammed against my ribs as I stared up at Leo. For a second, the whole noisy world of the party faded. It was just my brother, tall, steady Leo with his familiar sharp jaw and those dark eyes that always seemed to soften when they landed on me. Relief crashed through me so hard I almost laughed. I threw my arms around him without thinking, hugging him tight like I used to when I was little and the world felt too big. His arms came around me instantly, warm and solid. God, it felt good to see someone who actually gave a shit about me in this snake pit."Leo," I whispered against his chest. "I'm so happy you're here."He pulled back just enough to look at me, his hands resting on my shoulders. His brow furrowed as he studied my face. "Camilla, you look like you're running from the devil himself. What the hell is going on? Why were you bolting through the halls like that?"I forced a quick laugh and stepped back, smoothing down the front of my red dress. The necklace fe
One Night Stand With My Stepson Chapter Fifty
Camilla The evening of the wedding arrived with terrifying speed.I stood before the full-length mirror in my bedroom, staring at the woman reflected back at me. Rosa had chosen well, the dress was a deep, blood red that hugged my curves like a second skin. The neckline plunged dangerously, and the back dipped low, revealing the elegant curve of my spine.And around my neck, nestled in the hollow of my throat, was the necklace.I touched the pendant gently, feeling the weight of the EMP device hidden inside. Rosa had helped me fasten it without comment, her hands steady despite the tension radiating from my body. She'd asked no questions, had simply done her job and retreated with a quiet "You look beautiful, Signora."Now I was alone, staring at this stranger in the mirror. She looked like a woman ready for a night of celebration. She looked like someone with nothing to fear.She was a liar.I took a deep breath, squared my shoulders, and began the long walk down the grand staircase
One Night Stand With My Stepson Chapter Forty-Nine
CamillaI stared at the message for exactly three seconds before shoving my phone back into my pocket. The library. Again. As if I had any choice in the matter.My hands were still trembling from this morning. The way Vittorio had patted my arm afterward like I was a child who'd witnessed something mildly unpleasant.I'll buy you another dress.Another dress. As if that could replace the image seared into my mind.I made my way through the winding hallways, my footsteps muffled by the Persian carpets. The house was eerily quiet now, the earlier chaos erased like it had never happened. I passed Rosa in the hallway, and she gave me a small, knowing look, the kind that said she understood I wasn't okay even though I pretended to be.I didn't pretend with her. I couldn't.The library door was ajar when I arrived. I pushed it open and stepped inside, finding Lucas standing by the window. The afternoon light caught the sharp angles of his face, illuminating the tension in his jaw. He was h

CamillaI stared at the ceiling listlessly. I had been awake for hours and had been doing since. So I was definitely still tired because I hadn't gotten much sleep. I slipped out of bed and went down for breakfast or normalcy. Or whatever passed for it in this house. The moment I stepped into the dining room, my mood soured further. Isabella was already there, back from her family visit. She sat beside Lucas and was saying something to him with a smile on her face. The sight of her made irritation flare hot in my chest.She was back. Of course she was back. I wasn't happy about it at all, her presence only complicated everything, adding another layer of tension and resentment to this already suffocating house. Her dark eyes flicked up to meet mine as I entered, carrying an unmistakable displeasure that matched my own. I felt her gaze rake over me like physical touch, cataloging every detail of my appearance, searching for any sign of weakness or change in my absence. I didn't care.

Camilla Lucas looked me over. "Go change," he said.I blinked. "What?""Go to your room and change into something you can move in." He replied. "Something practical that could pass as a club wear. "I frowned "I don't have a...""Find one or you are not coming."He walked out of the study before I

Camilla I was in my room when I finally came to. I sat up, struggling to remember what happened before I blacked out. My throat was raw from all the screaming I had done. I reached for the water by my bedside and drank it greedily. My hands were still trembling. I had been so scared, God help
One Night Stand With My Stepson Chapter Twenty four.
CamillaThe silence that followed his words was thick.My hand went to my throat, a nervous habit, because I just realized that I had made a mistake. "Then whose plans were they?"It was a stupid question and Lucas replied me that way."How the fuck would I know? First, what did you hear?" Lucas a
One Night Stand With My Stepson Chapter Twenty three
LucasCamilla's reaction was immediate. She spun around and the color drained from her face so fast I thought she might actually faint. Her hands moved behind her back, trying to hide the paper, trying to look innocent, trying to do about five things at once and failing spectacularly at all of them
