Tastes Like An Offer

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 you're being all kind to me, but I don't need your sympathy. I don't care at all, and I will not be just a dumb woman you'll have wrapped up in your arms for this weekend. Just drop me off and disappear from my life already!"

Silence filled the air left for my heavy breathing. It lasted for several minutes before Nico butchered through it with one heavy question. "I know you're divorced, Camila." It felt strange hearing my own name from him, I didn't remember introducing myself to him! "Your ex husband, is he...one of the Carters? Jaxon Carter?"

I scoffed, the air became chilly making me become tense. Nico had to be like a Mafia or a dangerous drug lord, or both. "What does it even matter to you?" I said at last.

And he heaved out in one muffled rasped voice. "Because I'm going to kill him, if he is a Carter."

Third POV

"Please, Savanah, you've gotta help me!" Cried Rose again. She was used to her stupid crocodile tears. Always getting into trouble and waiting for her to solve it for her.

"Recap again, I'm so tired of this dumb story. You're telling me that you saw Camila at your fancy neighborhood?"

"I did, yes! She's living there somehow, I'm not too sure how she was able to even rent a place there." Rose cried out over the phone. "Anyway, you have to help me. There's some rich guy, Nico, we met him at this bar. Very s*xy and all. I didn't know he was very powerful but now he's saying I need to move out of here!"

"I just came out of prison, they arrested me! But they let me go because they'll see to it that I move away from the neighborhood! You've gotta help me punish this guy or something."

Savanah smiled,"I'm sorry love..you're on your own." She hung up and quickly blocked Rose's number so her calls don't go through. "I've warned you to stop making a mess getting in trouble like this. In the mean time though, this is interesting news."

They were all gathered now, Savanah and Jaxon and their mother. She'd called them urgently to say something. Jaxon brought his new dumb wife. Savanah didn't know why she just despised her. Vanessa was always doing too much, talking like she was wiser than everyone.

"Now I know you're all wondering why I've called you here," she said, she has her brows cut thin again, and arched so she resembled some evil old lady.

"Before you say anything," Savanah quickly said, drawing all attention towards her. "I have something to say too. To my dearest and beloveth brother, not Blake who couldn't be here because he had things more important than us."

Jaxon banged his fist on the table. "Would you just talk already! I was busy at work when mother called. I am actually making money here, keeping the family together while you waste it all on social media."

"Is this about the car she just bought?" Vanessa opened her big mouth and spat out. That b*tch, she knew what she was doing. "Because I saw the video and I think it was rather cute. I'm sure Savanah knows what she's doing and has two to three jobs that sustaining her over expensive lifestyle."

Oh the way Savanah's anger grew to a thousand fold. "Really? No I don't have two to three jobs. In fact, I don't have any job. But I've got what they call, savings. Something you can't ever relate to."

"Don't be so sure about that. I didn't come into this family empty handed. I have my own money."

"From a teaching job? Please, my daily feeding bills can pay you your salary for the whole year!" Savanah roared out.

"Enough. What is wrong with you two!" Barked Jaxon."Mother, I don't like how my wife is getting mistreated."

"Your wife? More like your mistress." Savanah managed to say before Aubrey cut in. Her voice was sharp and thin like a sharp knife.

"And what is the meaning of all this?"

"Sorry mom." They both mumbled. Vanessa said something too, though Savanah didn't hear.

"But I still have something to say. It's about Camila." The smile in her eyes deepened.
