Camilla’s POVDamien and I rushed back to the hospital. Damien drove recklessly, and I couldn’t say anything because I knew what was at stake. We arrived and we both rushed to Daniel’s room, but by the time we got there, the doctors had already finished their treatment and left. I entered and examined him and saw that he was fine, leaving me with the question about what happened to him.I called Lisa, who came to tell me that Daniel’s heartbeat suddenly went off for some minutes, but miraculously, he came back to life after she quickly called for help. The doctors were fast enough to help out, but they said he needed serious monitoring, so they went lose him.“Thank you, Lisa.” I said as I went to sit beside Daniel. “Can you bring Jason here?” I asked and she left the room.“We can take turns staying here with Daniel until he wakes up.” I heard Damien say to me, but shook my head. “No, that is not possible, Damien. You’ve done more than enough for us, our family today. I know Daniel
Camilla’s POVMy heart skipped a beat. I couldn’t even explain if I was fine or not. I just wanted to know the people that wanted my husband to die. Although I could tell who it was, I didn’t want to believe she could actually go that far with her wickedness. I turned to face Damien, “I want to go to the police station to see the people thy want to kill my husband.”“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it,” he said, turning to leave, but I stopped him.“No, Damien,” I said swiftly. “I need to go and see those people who wanted to kill my husband. I want to ask what we did for them and know what really happened.” I deadpanned. I wasn’t done talking when my phone rang and I saw a number I didn’t save on my phone show on the screen. Knowing I didn’t have anything to be worried about again, I quickly answered the phone. “Hello,” my voice rang out. “This is Officer Collins. I’m speaking with Ms. Camilla, Mr. Daniel Caspian’s wife,” he asked with an urgent tone.“Yes, this is Camilla, Daniel
Camilla’s POVI saw Frank’s name appear on Damien’s phone, and it took everything in me not to snatch the phone from him. And I know he’s also trying to be strong just to avoid saying anything that will make me cry or affect me more. I moved closer to him so I could at least hear the conversation and see if my son was with Frank or not.“Hello, Frank,” Damien said as soon as he answered the call. “What’s going on?” he asked with an urgency that needed to be studied. “How did they shoot Daniel and we can’t find Jason? Did Daniel perhaps come to work and ….?” his words trail off as Frank’s voice rang out.“Mr. Caspian came to the office and left Jason with me before he went out again….” Frank tried explaining, but Damien’s voice cut him off. “Are you saying Jason is with you and safe? Was he not in the car with Daniel when he was shot?” he asked swiftly. “No, sir.” Mr. Caspian dropped Jason off with me at the company before he went back to get something at the mall. I think he was sho
Nancy’s POVI arrived at the RHL area, a small community known for their notorious behaviour and atrocities where Mavin’s is living. I was stopped at the entrance since they have a small gate that safeguards the area, and as usual, I was told to pay $100 before they could allow me to enter. I paid the money and the gate was finally opened for me. I drove into the area and eventually got to Mavin’s house. Two guys were at his entrance; they were probably one of his boys who worked for him. The door was opened for me to pass after I answered their questions.“Mavin!” I called as I stepped into the house. “Come to the room,” he said and I followed the voice till I entered the room where his voice was coming from. The apartment I had gone to see him the last time I was there was different from the one I was told to go to, leaving me with the question that maybe he has some other houses and maybe he’s not as poor as I used to think. Because I used to think that any guy who doesn’t have c
Nancy’s POVI lost my peace since the time I spoke with Camilla and discovered she had moved in with Daniel and also learned that Daniel had also been going in and out of Camilla’s house. It means her new mother, Lady Wesley, who happened to be the richest woman Our city has also accepted Daniel as her son-in-law. In fact, she might have been the one that encouraged them to be together because the Camilla that I know won't easily agree to come back with Daniel that easily. She deadpanned that she wants to be alone, but she agrees easily, which means Lady Wesley is behind her decision.I rose to my feet and paced my sitting room. I can’t believe they are actually coming back together in my presence when I’m still alive and well. They are having having sex with each other and doing everything a normal couple would do together. It felt like my life had been switched with Camilla’s life because I felt like she was living my life while I was here living her life as well. She’s a medical
Daniel’s POVOne of them, who seemed to be their leader, hissed and slapped me in the head. “Your life isn’t worth any money. You’re just foolish till the end” he roared.“No, you won't do that. You’ll pay dearly for it if you do so.” I ordered, even though my heart was rising and falling like hell. I can see his face and I know he’s definitely not joking, but I don’t want to believe this is happening to me. I don’t believe a day like this will ever happen to me where I’ll be begging desperately for my life to be spared. “You, this fool, you don’t seem to know what you’re into, right? Your entire family will be wiped out because we’ve been paid to wipe you all out. Because you deserve death and nothing but death.” “No, you can’t kill my entire family. W….who paid you? How much did they pay you, I will pay thrice of it.” I deadpanned, at least I deserve to know who wants to kill me before everything I’ll eventually die and before I agree to die for my family. “Stop speaking to him a
Daniel’s POVI left my office for Jason’s school around 3pm and drove down to his school. I picked Jason up and helped him to settle down in the car, then left his school. I had in mind to take him to my office since it wasn’t the end of the day yet and I had some things to sort out at the office, besides I have a meeting with an investor in the evening. Since Jason will be staying with me at the company till evening, U decided to take him to the restaurant, so we can eat before we return to my office. We went to Big Restaurant on our way, where we ordered our food, pizza, and soft drinks and ate before going. We left the mall and return back to my office. I hage not driven the car for fifteen minutes when I suddenly noticed that a car was following me. At first, I thought the person was just following the same way, but after a while, I noticed that anothercar joined him, making it two cars that wee following me in close proximity and almost hit my car. In order to be sure of what
Daniel’s POV“Something bad will happen.” That's the word that kept ringing in my head since I woke up that morning and I couldn’t quite place it. I’ve tried to think about different things that could hurt me to the people around me, but I couldn’t say anything, I thought about the possibility that Nancy could do anything, but I wasn’t even moved by her threats. The only card she could use is what I’ve revealed myself and even got out of easily and quickly in a way I hadn't expected because Camilla was there beside me. I can’t even contain my joy that she helped me with it. Two indeed are better than one, just the have they said. I couldn’t even go home the previous night because the thought kept ringing in my head. I just wanted to be with Camilla because she’s the one my heart kept saying she’ll be affected. I even initiated the sex because I needed an excuse to stay over, and when she asked if I wouldn’t be going home after our sex at past twelve, I simply told her that I was in
Camilla’s POVI paced the room, running a hand through my already scattered hair before I turned to face her again. “What’s going on, Mom? Did you already know that I’m your mother? Why didn’t you tell me if you already know? Or did your daughter die back then?” I asked the question all at once because I needed the answers, and I didn’t want her to hide from me. She heaved a sigh and clutched the sheets as she struggled to sit properly. I inched toward her and quickly reached out to help her. I can’t have her die now. No, she’s not going to die. My thoughts were scattered and I had no idea what to think anymore. “You see Camilla,” she said, tears welling up in her eyes. I knew the answer I wanted right at that moment. She knew all this while that I was her daughter, but she didn’t tell me. She hides things from her only daughter. How could she be this cruel to me when she literally dumped me at birth because she didn’t want to lose her inheritance. How could she be this heartless
