LOGINCAMILLARay was tied up on a chair in Nathan’s room by the time I had propelled myself inside.Where the hell had he gotten a rope? I thought, mid panic.“Nathan”He held a hand up, silencing me.“Ray was just telling me how he met with Leila” He said.I turned to Ray who was already sporting a bruised lips.He looked terrified.“I do not know what you are talking about and this is not legal. I will have you reported to the cops and I will sue you to one inch of your miserable…”His words were cut off when Nathan’s fists slammed into his jaw, snapping his head to the side.The sound cracked through the room so loudly that I physically flinched.“Nathan!” I shouted.Ray groaned, blood spilling properly now from the side of his mouth.Nathan flexed his fingers once like he had merely swatted away a fly.Then he looked at me with cold eyes.“I asked him one simple question,” Nathan said evenly. “How the hell did he meet her and what else do they plan to do”“You cannot beat answers out o
CAMILLAI could not believe what I was hearing.“What did you do?” Nathan asked calmly only he was anything but calm judging by the way his palms were now in fists by his side.“I had no idea who you were when we were approached by a woman. She simply introduced herself as Leila and offered us some money and that she would reach out when it is time to do the job.”“Who else is in on this?” I asked.I placed a hand on Nathan’s arm and felt him flinch.“Dexter and Ray… just them and of course us. That is all I know of.” she turned to Nathan, her eyes pleading.“I am really sorry. I needed the money and it wasn’t until you both arrived that I decided to find out who you both were and realized. I told Ray I was out and did not want to involve myself in whatever she has planned. I even returned the money to him and asked him to inform the lady. I should have known he would still do this”Nathan exhaled slowly, leaning away from Hannah.I watched him run his fingers slowly through his hair a
NATHAN“Ray took the picture” Camilla burst out of the inn, panting as she shook the phone in my face.“What do you mean, Ray took the picture. I do not remember seeing Ray at all at the…” my voice trailed off.“I did see him but I wasn’t sure. Why would he…”“You said it could be Leila or Eleanor’s family or even both of them so we find Ray and we question him. I am thinking we involve Hannah. They are close and I feel like Ray would say something if she is in the picture”“I am going to kill him” I muttered.“You are going to be quiet and allow me handle this my way, Nathan Clark”I folded my arms and regarded her with a grin.I know, I know…It is cliche for a man to consider a woman hot when she is bossing him around but come on, have you seen Camilla Rodrigues?She was the definition of hot and I would be a fool not to acknowledge that.“Since when did you become the boss, Debutante?”She rolled her pretty eyes like I knew she would.“And we are back to that. You know sometimes I
LEILAI really hope there is no confusion on why this author has decided to write a chapter in my point of view.It is only because I requested it … you see, I think you all need to know who I am and not from the stories you have heard from my mortal enemy, Nathan who thinks the world revolves around his beautiful piece of ass or the cunt he now parades around with him and claims to be in love with.I know you have your face scrunched up now in confusion because this is a strange moment but it has been a long time coming, no?You know me as the daughter of the man, Nathan worked for. The evil man who had sent a teenage boy to kill a man.Well, here is another piece of juicy information for you.You should know that I killed him… no, not Nathan silly… my father.He is dead and I pulled the trigger.It wasn’t anything personal… okay, it was and that is where my hatred for Nathan factors in.He and I were to be married, you see.My father was all for it… he loved Nathan like a son and all
CAMILLAVery soon, the crowd that had gathered in front of Hannah’s inn had dispersed with a promise from Dexter that he would keep representing them at the forefront and a public apology from Nathan.Denver had also called to express his disappointment and mentioned he would be coming over himself to speak to the people.It would seem our trip had just been extended till Gods know when.Nathan gestured for me to join him and Dexter who had settled right outside Hannah’s with some drinks.“Mr Dexter has agreed to talk about terms of mall and how it can fit the vibe of the town without going overboard and I really think it is a perfect idea” Nathan filled me in as I settled myself into the seat beside him.“I cannot thank you enough, Mr Dexter and I will like to apologize again for my partner’s behaviour”“You have nothing to be sorry for, Miss Camilla and I now think Mr Clark here understands the errors of his ways”Nathan shot him a dark look behind his back and I resisted the urge t
NATHANWell, Leila would have to wait another day.I was discharged from the hospital the next morning and Camilla drove me back to the inn. She was quiet throughout the ride only responding to my questions with one worded answers. I knew she was still mad at me and so I was trying really hard to cheer her up which did not work.When we got back to the inn, she had moved her things to the room besides mine. Something about needing her own space and the room being available suddenly that evening.“You know, I could have an episode again and you would not be aware if you move out” I joked.Her eyes widened at the horror of my words and I almost bit my tongue knowing how it sounded.“I was just kidding, princess. I have the pills and they will be at arms reach. Nothing like what happened today will ever happen again, okay?”“But what if… I could move back in and…”“No, you need your space and I get it.” I told her, smiling.Deep down, I wanted her to move back in and to forgive me.I wan
CHAPTER TEN“You are back.” Elizabeth said to her brother.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN“Are you okay?” Jason asked Elizabeth who had her eyes squeezed so shut he was sure she would get an headache.“I’m fine, I am really motion sick and the fact that I am going to some strange place is not helping matters.” She said, her eyes still shut.“You can hold my hand if that wou
CHAPTER NINE“You would not believe who I just encountered.” Elizabeth was giddy with excitement. She had always had a crush on Lucien Rodrigues and this was ever since he came for a family donation to her high school some years back. He had changed a lot, because she did not recognize him until he s
