One Night Stand With My Stepson Chapter Twenty One
CamillaBy the time morning came, I had turned the night's events over in my mind so many timesThe voices in the garden, the person who came into my room. And then there was Isabella.She had arrived the same day as all of this. Perhaps she had something to do with what the men were saying in the garden. Perhaps she was the one who had come to my room while I was gone. I had even search online for clues but to no avail, of course.I finally went downstairs for breakfast. I didn't get to each much last night. The arrival of my family had ruined my appetite, thank God they left before I could see them off.Breakfast room had already been served because the whole dinning was filled with the smell of back, bread and honey.Meanwhile Lucas and Isabella were already seated.They were sitting close together at the head of the table, his chair angled toward hers in a way that suggested intimacy. She was laughing at something he had said, her hand resting lightly on his forearm.They did loo

CamillaI woke up the morning after the party and knew something had changed.I didn't know how I knew. The room looked the same. The same light came through the same windows. The same birds sang somewhere outside. But the air in the house felt different. Heavier. Like a storm coming.I lay in bed for a long time, staring at the ceiling. My body was tired. My head was tired. But my mind was already running, already trying to figure out what was wrong.Then I remembered Isabella.The way she had smiled at me. The way she had talked to me like I was a child who didn't understand anything. The way Lucas had stepped in and said enough like he had the right to speak for me.And the way everyone had watched.I got out of bed. My legs felt weak. I hadn't eaten much at the party. Too nervous. Too busy smiling at people I didn't like.I walked to the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror.Same face. Same red hair. Same green eyes.But something was different behind them. Something harde

Lucas Isabella's smile was an obvious mask. She had perfected over the years. Camilla could do with a bit of lesson from her. "What the fuck are you doing here?" "What's wrong? You look like you just encountered something distasteful." "I wonder what." I replied sarcastically. She laughed. It was nice like when we were younger, before we realized the world we were thrust in, but now I was sure the laugh was as fake as her mask. She looped her arm through mine. And I removed it, I didn't care for her theatrics. "Your father invited me." She smiled up at me like my hostility was amusing. "He even told me I could stay with you. So we could make up for lost time." My jaw tightened. Of course he did. "We're not making up for anything." "We'll see." She pulled me toward Camilla who was standing a few feet from us, looking politely bored as she spoke with an elderly couple. Isabella's gaze swept over Camilla with the slow deliberation of a shark who had just caught the faintest t

Camilla The next two days were the strangest I had ever lived. I woke up each morning with Dylan's face in my head. The way his eyes went wide. The blood blooming on his chest like a dark flower. But by the time I finished my coffee, the image had faded to the edges. Planning the party helped. A lot. Lucas had left me the seating chart and a list of vendors. I called the florist first. Then the caterer. Then the woman who handled the table settings. Each call made me feel less like a guest in this house and more like someone who actually lived here. The maids still looked at me sideways. Rosa avoided me completely after that night in the kitchen. But I didn't have time to care about any of it. There was too much to do. "White roses or red?" I asked the florist over the phone. "White says elegance," she said. "Red says passion." I thought about Vittorio, I need to make an impression on him. He was the only variable in my life right now and literally the one who holds

Camilla I found Lucas in the study.He was standing at the window with a glass of something amber in his hand, looking out at the garden. The lamp on the desk was on. Papers were spread across the surface. He hadn't heard me come in, or if he had, he didn't show it.I knocked on the open door anyway.Lucas turned. His eyes moved over me once, quickly, the way someone checks for weapons."I need to know who will be there," I said.He stared at me. "What?""The gathering. I need to know the families. The names. Who matters and who doesn't. Who to talk to and who to avoid." I crossed my arms. "I need to know everything."Lucas set his glass down on the windowsill. Slowly. Like he was buying time to figure out if I was serious."What changed your mind?" he asked.I looked at him the way I would look at someone who had just suggested something deeply, personally offensive. Like he had asked me something that had no business being asked."Are you going to teach me or not?"A long pause."S
