Chapter 20

Author: Stars
I dragged myself out of the office, exhausted.

A car pulled up beside me, and the window rolled down to reveal Julian Vance's handsome face.

"Get in. I'll take you home."

Funny how things worked out.

When my father first told me he'd found a match for me, I'd agreed without much thought. I hadn't even met the man.

    "Camille, who is this?" Julian. I hurried to his side like I'd found a lifeline."An old friend."Julian came over and slipped an arm around my shoulders. His voice remained gentle. "Let's go home. I made your favorite dinner."The sight of us together cut Grayson deeply.He pointed at him."Camille, who is this man?""He's my match. I forgot to mention it. Our mating ceremony is coming up soon. Not that it's any of your business."Grayson's face twisted."Stop joking with me, Camille. How can you have a mating ceremony with someone else? I'm your mate!"And I've cut Bianca off completely. She'll never interfere with us again."Let's go back and have our mating ceremony. Okay?"Julian's expression darkened. He stepped forward."Who the hell are you? You're asking my mate to have a mating ceremony with you right in front of me. Am I invisible?"Grayson had been glaring at Julian from the moment he appeared. That was enough to push him over the edge."Your mate? She's my mate! Camille is

Something about him seemed familiar. Then he mentioned my father, and it clicked.He was the man my father had chosen for me.Only later did I learn our "chance" meeting hadn't been a coincidence at all. Someone had arranged it.I leaned back in the passenger seat and closed my eyes. Julian quietly handed me a bottle of water."You've had a long day. I'll give you a proper massage when we get home."I nodded.I had to admit, my father had good taste.Julian was handsome, thoughtful, gentle, and the Alpha of a large pack. He seemed like

    Bianca clawed at her throat, desperately trying to vomit up the potion.Mara grabbed her by the neck. "There's plenty more. One bottle every day for seven days. Throw this one up, and you'll drink another today."Terrified, Bianca crawled to Grayson's feet."Grayson, please. I know I was wrong, I really do. Please let me go home."He shook his head. "I can't do that, Bianca. You're cursed. I'm doing this for your own good."Pain suddenly tore through her body. It felt like thousands of ants were gnawing her alive. She collapsed, writhing on the ground.Grayson watched without a word, then he headed for the door.Bianca scrambled after him. She couldn't stay in this hell.She barely made it two steps before the guards dragged her back.This time, Mara chained her down.Whatever hope Bianca had left disappeared. She slumped to the floor.Mara stood over her and smiled. "Well? Do you still want to be with Grayson?"Tears streamed down Bianca's face. She growled, "All I wanted was for Gray

    The moment Bianca saw the diary, she froze. For a few seconds, she couldn't speak.Then the innocent act disappeared, and her face twisted with anger."What gives you the right to call me disgusting? You didn't seem disgusted when you were in bed with me."She yanked off her coat, exposing most of her body."Bianca, what are you doing? Put your clothes on!"She rested a hand on his shoulder and gave him a seductive look."Why are you playing the gentleman now? You've seen my body before. You called me disgusting. Fine. I'll show you disgusting."She shoved him against the wall and threw herself at him, trying to kiss him."Enough!"Grayson shoved her away.But Bianca grabbed his collar and came at him again."I really do love you. Why can't you be my mate? Why can't you belong to me alone? I love you so much, I really do..."Slap! Grayson's palm struck her across the face, snapping her head to the side."I have always thought of you as my own sister. Not once have I ever wanted anythin

    He'd already lost the person he loved most.Pain twisted across Grayson's face.Only now did he realize how stupid he'd been. Bianca had played him for a fool, and he'd been blind enough to let her.He'd put her first again and again. He'd even given her everything Camille's father had given Camille.Bianca was the first woman he'd taken wedding photos with.She was the first woman he'd slipped a ring onto.She was the first woman he'd slept with.Grayson slapped himself hard across the face."I'm a bastard!"Now he finally understood the despair he'd seen in Camille's eyes.He'd hurt her so badly that there was nothing left to save.He called her. No answer. He called again. Nothing. He sent message after message.Still nothing.Desperate, he called Camille's best friend.The phone rang twice before she hung up without saying a word.Grayson kept calling. On the seventh call, she finally answered."Will you stop calling me? You're driving me insane!"Grayson ignored her anger. His voi

    Grayson left the administration building in a daze.Before he knew it, he'd driven back to the house he'd shared with Camille.Night had fallen. The house was dark and eerily quiet.A sudden thought hit him. He rushed to Camille's room. It was empty. Everything she owned was gone.Grayson refused to believe it. He searched the entire house, desperate to find something—anything—that proved Camille had once lived there.There was nothing. It was as if she'd vanished without a trace.Instead, he found a diary hidden in a box under the bed.Camille had never kept a diary. Bianca did.Even before her diagnosis, Bianca had written down whatever was on her mind.Grayson used to read her diary, which was how he'd learned her likes and dislikes so well.It was also how he'd learned that Bianca envied Camille. She envied Camille for having a father who always protected her. She envied everything Camille owned.That was why Grayson had transferred all of Camille's assets to Bianca.But he'd never
