LOGINLosing her fiancé, Noah, on a stormy afternoon was Camila's greatest tragedy and sorrow. It took her five long years to finally gain back the courage to step out of her door and face the world once more… When she finally left her grief-induced isolation, she ran across the arrogant, gorgeous Trey Gregori, who looked much like her old love—Noah. But later on, she was convinced that he was not Noah at all. They were two completely different people. Noah was sweet and gentle, and she never witnessed him become as cocky as her current Biology classmate. Mysteriously, Trey seems to be hiding so many dark secrets, and Camila, who is supposed not to care at all because Trey is not Noah, finds herself indulging her curiosity and unfolding those secrets one by one…

He lifted my veil to kiss me and I responded eagerly as I wrapped my arms around his neck. Everybody was happy for the both of us and they wished us a healthier and abundant marriage, most especially the Gregoris—Trey's parents, cousins, and even his brother, Noah. "Congratulations, lovebirds! Remember our deal? You're going to spend the rest of your lives making each other happy every single day, okay?" He reminded us. Both Trey and I nodded sincerely. Above everyone in the celebration hall, the two of us were the happiest ones. Genuinely happy that finally we were able to turn our dreams into reality. He tapped Trey's shoulder and they gave each other a warm brotherly hug. "Thank you so much, Noah. Thank you for understanding and thanks for giving way for our true happiness," I said from the bottom of my heart. And for the last time,
Noah brought a chair, placed it beside me, and sat on it. He was also looking after his brother."There wasn't any single time that I could remember I had been a good brother or at least treated him in a kind way…" he spoke, breaking the silence between us.I looked at him, and then he continued, "But you know what's ironic? That was despite me obviously despising my own brother, he has always been there for me. He was saving me, protecting me. Even before, since we were young and I wasn't yet aware of his existence, of my real identity, he was already helping me in silence. He always got my back, and though he wasn't getting anything in return, he was always willing to do something for me because he always wanted to see his brother being so well.”I knew it. I have really fallen crazy in love with an absolutely selfless man!"You know what, since then, he's really been there and always ready to save my life from harm or any danger. He never leaves me... Even if his own life would be
(Camila's POV)Walking back and forth to the wide ground of the residences of the Gregoris, my heart seemed to uncalm from its fast and hard pounding because I'd been waiting for Trey's troops to come back from the battlefield, where they had to fight to get Barbara after she was abducted.I couldn't take it easy. I could not even calm down. I felt bothered and scared that something might happen, especially to Trey and to Noah. Yes, both of them went there. As the ruler, Trey led the troops, while Noah insisted on coming with them because he also felt responsible for saving his family member.Seconds later, a siren on the whole building created a loud noise, indicating that the troops had already returned, and they were successful in getting Barbara back!The main gate opened and the first voice I heard, aside from the noises of the feet of the troop members running and hurrying, was Abigail's screaming and crying, "Trey is badly wounded! Trey is badly wounded, everyone!"My world sank
(Camila's POV)Noah and I went home after that long and draining double engagement night."Good night, Noah," I told him and was about to go to my room when he called me in a low, deep voice."Camila…""Hmmn—" I turned around to look at him, but I was surprised when he pulled my hand and brought me very close to his body.He held my waist tightly, and his eyes screamed desperation, hunger, longing, and sadness…"Noah, what are you doing—" I was cut to my words when he claimed my lips."Noah!" I tried pushing him gently on his chest, but when I felt like it was to no avail because he wouldn't let me go, I stopped, and instead, I just responded to his kisses.It was a responsibility of mine, wasn't it? He's my boyfriend, and he's kissing me, therefore, it's my responsibility to return his kisses. I responded to it as I should, as I obliged.He only freed my lips when he stopped, but his face remained very close to mine. He brought our foreheads touched.His breathing was deep, and the l
(Trey's POV)I could just watch her from afar… She was walking out of the hall and walking away from everybody, from where I stood…"Congratulations on your engagement," one of the seniors in the pack went to the table where my fiancée—Beth—and I were standing.We smiled at him and nodded and thanked h
I saw Trey from the glass door stopping and taking a look at me for the last time. He saw me and Noah hugging. I could see the hurt in his eyes, and yet he chose to shrug it off and totally went away.I knew that starting with this, I had lost him forever. He walked out of my life…After our hug, Noah
(Camila's POV)"How have you been, Camila?" Trey asked with a low broken voice when we agreed to meet one day to finally talk about us."I'm doing fine. How have you been, too?" I asked back while not looking at him.It's been a week since the big revelation came, and yet I'm still, even up to this day
After that reckless move I made, I never dared to do it again anymore or do something like that. I backed myself off, especially from their relationship. I could not possibly do anything to ruin them and mess up the plan.I just continued to watch over my brother as per my seemed-to-be lifelong task
