MasukThe only satisfactory event Camille faced was the first three days of the business trip Dominic was on. That meant she had some time to plot Evangeline’s downfall.Despite it all, a part of her was beginning to delight at the decision the Voss family had made by leaving Dominic out of the lawsuit. However, she had the belief that it wouldn’t last forever, so she had to act fast.One thing remained true, and it scared her to death. If Dominic discovered that Evangeline had returned, old memories might begin to resurface.Camille placed a call to her assistant immediately after a long time of plotting. The young man picked up at the first call without hesitation.“I need the best journalist who can do my bidding. All he has to do is plant every and any story I want him to publish,” she ordered.The assistant acknowledged and noted her request. He was smart enough to know that she needed what she sought immediately.After an hour plus, Camille received a text from her assistant. It conta
She spent the entire night and the next day thinking about the questions of her son. He was just a little boy, but his words weighed heavily on her.The previous night, she kept turning on her bed, unable to sleep. All she could hear was his words. That sunny afternoon, Evangeline waited patiently for her team members to attend the meeting so they could finalize their plans on the perfect building for their firm.“Did you go through the file containing every detail about the land?” she asked first.Everyone on the meeting agreed to it and, as she had expected, it was perfect to build their firm.“I think the next thing is to get everything needed for the development of the firm,” Alejandro was the first to speak.Evangeline heard what he had said; however, she couldn’t speak. Her thoughts couldn’t help but travel back to what her son had said to her, and the box of decisions waiting for her to pick any. What if he had stumbled upon the invitation letter? she thought at first.Or cou
Everywhere stayed buried in deep silence at the sound of his voice. Camille's heart thumped, hoping he had not heard whatever they had said about Evangeline's return. Dominic, on the other hand, after seeing Camille realized there was trouble. He clearly didn't like the idea of seeing her in the mansion right when he wasn't in the right state of mind.However, he pushed that thought aside, fixing his focus on what he had walked in to meet."Why is no one responding?" he questioned again, looking from one person to another."I think you should ask your fiancée." Cordelia stood to her feet, looking back at Camille. "That is, if she can answer." She dared Camille lastly. And with that, she walked away, leaving them alone.Dominic watched his grandmother leave, and it was enough to let him know that something huge must have happened before he got in."Dominic, baby."Camille stood to her feet, and just as she was about to place her hands on him, he stopped her."Did you and my grandmot
It was already clear to Camille that Evangeline Hart was back in the city. She didn't care to know what must have prompted Evangeline's coming. Rather, she was more concerned about what she could do to take Evangeline out of the city. Or, better still, out of the world.Everything got worse when Dominic was no longer paying attention to Camille. The fear creeping through her thoughts began to play in her head. She thought of the possibility that he must have heard the news of Evangeline's return."That woman is back to take my man away from me." She could no longer remain seated, so she stood to her feet, pacing up and down the living room."She's back for revenge," Camille kept talking to herself, and no one in particular.After a while, she picked up her phone from the couch and decided to place another call to Dominic.His phone rang for over half an hour, yet there was no response from him. Camille's face tightened with a mixture of anger and silent fury.She was forced to go thro
Evangeline didn't think to tell Julian about the personal invitation she had received from the lead counsel, for reasons best known to her.That night, while she lay in bed, she thought about the response she would provide the lead counsel. She was actually aware of the reason he had sent the email.It was because she had been taking longer than expected to respond to their invitation letter, and now they wanted to convince her even further.But could they? Was anything they were going to say enough to change her mind? she wondered."I accept the meeting. We'll meet by 9 a.m. tomorrow. I'll send the location before then."Reluctantly, Evangeline agreed to the meeting.***********The next morning came earlier than expected. And surprisingly, Evangeline was extremely eager to meet with the lead counsel.She had chosen the location - a café trusted by many - in a quiet corner where the constant rush of traffic became nothing more than a distant hum.The polished oak tables and shelves o
Evangeline was supposed to feel victorious and completely relieved after achieving such a great result at the courthouse. However, the case was different. Something else was pulling out the anxiety she had learned to keep locked away years ago. It was, however, another morning at her home with no cases to handle at the court. While she sat at the dining table, waiting for the cook and househelps to serve breakfast, she pulled out the file lying close to her on the table. She opened the file to read through it again as though it was the first time she was receiving it. Either way, she ended up closing the folder rather too immediately. The mere sight of the name of a family she had long tagged as her enemy provoked a negative feeling within her. "Mummy, are you okay?" The voice of her son suddenly jolted her back to reality. She immediately forced a smile before looking at him. "Where's your sister?" Evangeline asked, putting aside his question. Theo hesitated before resp
