로그인“Marry me.” He said in a serious tone. “I’ve been owned once. Never again.” she reminded him, but mostly it was for herself. He got closer, pulling her towards him in a gentle approach, then whispers in her ears. “Let me belong to you then.” ____ Camila Torres gave thirteen years of her life to the Carter family. To a husband who never loved her, to in-laws who treated her like charity, and to a home where she was constantly reminded she did not belong. When her husband’s betrayal finally drives her out, Camila leaves with nothing but her son, her pride, and a determination to never bow again. In a wealthy neighborhood far from her past, she meets Nico Romano, somewhat mysterious and charming, yet powerful and very dangerous in ways she doesn’t yet understand. He wants her, but he also wants revenge, and Camila may be the perfect weapon against the family that broke her. What Nico doesn’t expect is to fall for her. She's not the pawn he expected. Camila finds out that her past has claws, and Nico might just be tied to it. As custody threats, buried secrets, and a scandal capable of destroying the Carter empire come to light, Camila must choose: Play by the rules of the rich… or burn them all down. She left her past behind… but her past refuses to let her go.

"What did she do this time?"Jaxon remained calm but he was so interested in hearing what she had to say."Well, my friend from this rich neighborhood spotted Camila there. Tell me now, we all know how poor Camila is. Who else could be affording that high lifestyle if not for you, dearest brother."Vanessa's face turned red from anger. "What? You said you're not talking to her again. That this divorce meant something!""Of course! I am not talking to her, haven't since our divorce. Honey, she almost killed our baby. Why would I give her money or even speak to her again?" Jaxon said in defense."Then how else is she able to manage in that rich town?" Savanah pressed on."Maybe because you're lying. Or you've got your information wrong. There's no way Camila is able to live this luxurious life you're claiming. I didn't even give her a dime for alimony." Jaxon said stubbornly. His jaw was tight as he spoke, fire filling his eyes when he look
Camila's POV Rose was crying bitterly as her cat she'd just dropped on the floor. "No! I will not move. Never! Who do you really think you are? On whose account do you think you have the right to kick me out!" A smile appeared on his face, "on my account." The security dragged her out and people started cheering. A young man came forward, staring directly at Nico. "Hey, I know you. We've met before, at...I mean, aren't you--" Gunther stepped forward. "Sir, miss, we should probably leave now." Who was this man? Why was he hiding his identity like this? I just hope he wasn't dangerous...jeez! I need to be careful with him. Once we were out, he offered he would drop me off. I didn't like that he knew where I lived. This creep had seen Caleb and I walking in ealier today. "You should come with me this Saturday to the opening. If you won't at least invite me over for dinner. Gunther and I." Gunther was the one driving but he kept quiet all through the ride. "Look, I appreciate that
Camila's POV "What are you doing tonight?" He asked as he gave his card to the cashier. I looked at the foodstuff on the table and back at him. "Oh you're cooking. From the looks of things, something like lasagna? Flour is here too, baking a little something as well." "What, do you cook too?" "I'm a chef." He said proudly. I laughed out, obviously finding that hard to believe. "Really, I cook. I can save you dinner tonight, you and your son." "You know I have a son?" He looked at me like I'd just hit my head somewhere. "I saw him. Tall teenage kid, looks a lot like you." A smile tainted my lips, "he looks like me, doesn't he." Surely he hasn't seen the father. "Thanks again for this, I owe you one. But no thanks for the dinner." "Awesome." Said Nico. "You should accompany me to a party this Sunday evening." I blinked. "I will pay you your money back as soon as I get a hold of my purse. What's all this about going out on a date with you? Have you forgotten that I'm a married wom
Camila's POV This was none other than Rose, Savanah's loyal b*tch! "Wait, it's you isn't it?" I rolled my eyes. She looked nothing like her because her hair used to be white, literally white. Now it's a black pixie, looking better on her...focus, Camila! "Camila Torres, the poor low life Jaxon married out of pity." She sneered. "Out of pity? Good that's what you think. You know what, good that you're thinking at all, but I don't have time for this nonsense. Since I've cut myself off of Jaxon and his mad family, you're also included." "Okay then, why don't you pay for your vegetables? You can't, because you've been poor and filthy since he left you. How did you even get here in the first place?" Oh no. I didn't want Jaxon to know where I lived. "I don't stay here, you moron." I said defensively. She gave it a thought. "Of course. Maybe you're living with some stupid relative. But I never knew you had any rich relative who can afford living here." "Hold on, let me get the gist ri
