Camilla's POVAll I just wanted was to divorce his sorry ass and move on with my kids without making a fuss, even when everyone thought otherwise.I just wanted my sanity and my life back. But, since David wants to play dirty with me, I'm going to show him that two can actually play this game. Now that I think about it, I play good comeback games."Meet him in court then" were my last words to Catherine and I meant it, I mean, why not? I have what it takes now to reduce him to nothing, in front of everyone, and make everyone see him for who he truly is.People might think he's one caring father who couldn't bear the thought of staying away from his kids, hence the reason he's fighting for custody. However that wasn't the case here, he never cared for those kids, he never showed them love and now he wants custody just to spite me. I can't believe that I once loved someone as scheming as David.I'm sure he doesn't have an inkling of what's coming for him, his greatest mistake was abduct
Camilla's POVIt's been four months since the court case ended, and as expected I won. I could remember vividly, the look on David's face when Catherine played the recording, the look of disgust on everyone present on that day was undeniable.People cursed him for being a pathetic husband and father, all in the name of vengeance, which has eaten deep into him and made him forget about humanity.He signed the divorce papers and I also got a restraining order on him, for the threats he lashed out at me on the recording, he was advised to stay far away from me and the kids or face the law if he decides to do anything stupid again to hurt us.Two weeks after the court case, I heard he left town and has not returned since then.I was at peace with myself as well, knowing my Father wasn't guilty of what David accused him of or what he believed my father did to his family.David's father had gone for a dirty operation, which didn't go as planned and he ended up killing a whole family just to
Camilla's POV I watched Marcus play with the kids from the door, much to his oblivion. He bonded with them so well that the connection between them was undeniable. He always makes time for me and the kids, even though he is always busy with work. Whoever brought out that saying that says a man who loves and cares about you will always make time for you, no matter how busy he is was right. With Marcus, everything felt so real. The kids loved him so much and so do I. Even though I tried to mask those feelings, he had shown them so much care that sometimes it overwhelmed me, it felt so surreal, but I was glad to have him in our lives. He made life meaningful for us. He made us feel safe around him. After Marcus told me the reason his wife left him, I felt so bad for him, he found out he couldn't get a woman pregnant two years after he got married. He discussed it with his wife and she promised to be there for him but she eventually left him a year after which left him broken. I know ho
