M. June
Third-Person POV

"Camilla!" Antonio came running toward Camilla and dropped to his knees beside the wheelchair. "Stop this, Camilla. I know you're faking it. You wanted me to come after you, didn't you?"

His hands shook as he reached for her face, but before he could touch her, Camilla's caregiver slapped his hand away. "Sir, Ms. Benson has passed away. We need to take her back and make the necessary arrangements."

Before she could leave, Antonio grabbed her arm. "She's my fiancee. She's comi

    Third-Person POVWhen Antonio finally returned home, he realized that almost everything belonging to Camilla was already gone. He searched the house for anything she'd left behind, desperate for something that might let him pretend she was still there.But her ashes had already been scattered in the mountains. She had donated all her savings, and she'd thrown away everything she'd once kept at his place.It was almost as if the past five years had existed only in his imagination. There was barely anything left to prove Camilla had ever been part of his life. Still, Antonio refused to accept that she was gone.He started drinking every day and sending message after message to her social media account."Camilla, I was wrong. Please come back.""I got the dresses. I put yours in the closet. I threw the other one away.""I know I screwed up.""You're the only woman I love. I never should've crossed those lines with Simona. Please come back."But every message disappeared into sile

    Third-Person POVAntonio opened the medical file. It contained a record of every follow-up appointment Camilla had attended and every medication she'd been prescribed.When he saw the dates, his fingers began to tremble. Tears slipped down his cheeks.His mind went back to the day they'd gone looking for the northern lights, when he'd sent Camilla back out into the blizzard to retrieve Simona's clothes.According to her records, Camilla had undergone targeted therapy that very day. Then he remembered her passing out. Instead of asking if she was alright, he'd accused her of making a fuss.Antonio closed the file and picked up the bucket list beside it.Camilla had written it on a small notepad. Some of the ink had bled where her blood had stained the paper, leaving parts of her handwriting blurred.There were only a few things on the list. See the northern lights with Antonio. Crossed out. Leave Bellarosa. Checked off. Say a proper goodbye to Antonio. Crossed out.The final one

We need to take her back and make the necessary arrangements."Before she could leave, Antonio grabbed her arm. "She's my fiancee. She's coming with me!"The caregiver gave him a suspicious look. "According to Ms. Benson herself, she had no family. She already appointed an attorney to handle everything after her death."The color drained from Antonio's face. "No. That's impossible. I'll take her to the hospital. They can still save her!"The caregiver stepped between him and Camilla. "Ms. Benson had late-stage lung cancer. Her organs were already failing. The fact that she survived this long was remarkable. Please step aside and l

  • Ten Days Left to Test Our Love   Chapter 6

    Camilla's POVThe ambulance stopped near one of the best places to see the northern lights. My caregiver lifted me into the wheelchair and pushed me around the area for a while.The night air was chilly. Wrapped in a wool coat, I gazed at the snow that blanketed the mountains year-round.This time, there was no one singling me out. No one forcing me into a blizzard to fetch something for them. All I wanted was to wait quietly for the northern lights.Then, suddenly, the entire sky seemed to ignite. Curtains of emerald green, violet, and pale pink rippled across the sky, twisting and dancing overhead.The lights never stayed still. They moved like silk caught in the wind, flowing endlessly across the darkness.In that moment, all I felt was awe. It was just a shame that I would only get to see something this beautiful once.I took out the bucket list I'd prepared. My first wish had been to see the northern lights with Antonio. I'd already drawn a huge X through that one.The sec

    Third-Person POVMeanwhile, Antonio's phone rang. Thinking it was Camilla calling, he answered immediately."Hello, is this Mr. Miller? Your family member, Ms. Camilla Benson, who has late-stage lung cancer, completed a hospital transfer today. Were you aware of this?"Antonio's expression darkened instantly. He gave a cold scoff. "Did she put you up to this? Camilla was perfectly fine yesterday. There's no way she has late-stage lung cancer!"He was about to hang up when the caller spoke again. "Mr. Miller, Ms. Benson's diagnosis and medical bills were all sent to you..."Antonio ended the call before the person could finish. His grip on his phone tightened. After a moment, he opened his email.After my car accident, Antonio had linked his email address to my patient account, saying it would let him know about any changes in my condition as soon as possible.With trembling fingers, he opened his unread emails. The most recent was the hospital's approval of Camilla's transfer re

    Camilla's POVThe next day, I packed up their luggage and asked the cabin manager to have it shipped out. Once I was done, I was about to get some rest when Antonio called."Camilla, did you tell the hotel's event coordinator that our engagement party was canceled?" His voice was loud, his anger barely restrained. Even through the phone, I thought I could hear Simona in the background.I sat on the cabin couch, silently enduring the pain spreading through my abdomen. "Yes. I canceled it."Antonio's breathing grew heavier. "Camilla! Can you stop acting like this? We only left without you because you were asleep! Simona almost cried herself sick over this! Call the hotel right now and tell them the engagement party is back on. Stop making a scene!"When he received the cancellation notice, his first reaction wasn't to ask me why I'd canceled our engagement. Instead, he blamed me for canceling it and for letting Simona find out.But the hotel would only have sent the cancellation no
