Camilla's POV

The first thing I noticed was warmth and the second was the absence of it.

I opened my eyelids slowly, letting my sight adjust to the sunlight that spilled across the room through the half drawn curtains.

And for several seconds I remained completely still before the memory hit.

Luca and his big hands and his voice.

I swallowed as heat flooded my cheeks.

“Oh my God."

I buried my face in the pillow and for a brief, horrifying moment I wondered if I had dreamt the entire thing

  • The Heiress He Lost, The Woman His Uncle Claimed    Chapter Twenty-seven: what you think.

    Luca's POV “Put me down! Luca Milano… I swear to God if you don't put me down right now…”I readjusted my grip around her slim waist, making sure her little tantrum didn't cause her to feel nauseous. I knew everybody was watching as I went past the hall and out the door of the event. This would probably be on the front cover news but I didn't care so much, I only felt satisfied. Satisfied enough that the sudden anger that stirred up the second I saw Camilla talking and laughing with another guy was reduced to bits. That rat was clearly hitting on her so why not show everyone in the room who she really belonged to. “Arrghh!" She squirmed again, throwing her little hands against my back. "Drive.” I said to one of the guards on standby and he immediately got into the car and started it. I only lowered her down the second the door to the car opened. “Get in." I said, watching her get hair out of her face. She scoffed, blinking in what seemed like disbelief, she looked past me a

  • The Heiress He Lost, The Woman His Uncle Claimed    Chapter Twenty-Six: No?

    Camilla's POV “I'm Camilla," I nervously said. "Camilla Milano.” "Hmm” he smiled. "I think you know how many bells your name rings.” I couldn't help but smile. "I'm oblivious to how famous I fear I am.” "Hmm” he cocked his head. "Now you know…" then I watched him look around. “So can I steal you away from all these…. Noise.” It was rare to have someone inside these four walls that looked like business say it all these were all noise. Someone was finally reading my mind. I met his captivating green eyes and it was almost as if saying ‘no’ was like stabbing a lost puppy to death and I couldn't do that. I gave him a nod and moved away from the crowded center of the ballroom then settled near one of the tall windows overlooking the gardens. The waiting waitress walked past us and Cole smoothly reached for two glasses of champagne, he passed one over to me and I took it with a small smile.“So your father still has interests in tech products?" He asked. Straight to buisness…. I a

  • The Heiress He Lost, The Woman His Uncle Claimed    Chapter Twenty-One: Cole Graham.

    Camilla's POVThe text read. I had never felt excited about a party before but I was about this one. Why? Because the man I'm fucking is going to be with me. Who knows where else we'll be taking an adventure to this night. The bathroom, the hallways…Get it together Camilla, you're a grown ass woman with a plain white reputation and the last thing it needs was a stain on it. Was I a nympho now?Was this what it feels like for women to only be with me for their body? Pffttt, I was married to this man. So I'd feel less guilty about using him. Or was he using me? Arrghhh, I need to stop overthinking stuff. I was already in the car hoping he'd be by the door to the event hall waiting for me but then as the car stopped, there was no one. He's your bad boy Camilla, not your gentleman.“Did Mr Milano say where he'll be?" I asked the driver. “He didn't communicate through me, ma'am." I stepped out of the car, my Cameron Diaz heels, stroking out before my sapphire dress adorne

  • The Heiress He Lost, The Woman His Uncle Claimed    Chapter Twenty-four: purely business

    Camilla's POV She rose up immediately from where she sat, her belle bump had Increased by an inch and she looked dolled up. Eyes shadows and almost blended foundation. Her eyes scanned me from head to toe before clearing her throat. “I'm hoping to speak to the person who runs this place," she said. I could almost scoff at the face she was making and the tone she used. " You know, you've always been bad at being sarcastic… your lines never just. Click.” The polite smile she held stiffened slightly. "Too bad I wasn't here to speak to you about sarcasm." My fingers tapped the side of my arm. I could snap my fingers and she'll be out of her and I could also gesture my fingers and she'll be in my office. I chose the second option because as far as stealing my ex husband went, she hadn't spoken to me ever since. A few minutes later, she sat at the other side of my table, legs crossed and her face neutral. " It's funny how you fooled everyone.” She said, "I don't know ho

  • The Heiress He Lost, The Woman His Uncle Claimed    Chapter Twenty Three: breakfast on a wet platter

    Camilla's POV My bed was too big for just one person but Luca's bed was enormous.His faint scent of his cologne clung to the pillows and the second I turned and inhaled it. My eyes fluttered open and I stirred, my body still humming from the night before.I stretched languidly, a small smile playing on my lips as memories immediately flooded back. His hands, his warm mouth and the way he'd claimed every inch of me. It made me blush. Sex with Nathaniel was only ever plain as Jane and never as intense as what I felt yesterday. Naked and unashamed, I slipped out of bed, grabbing his discarded white shirt from the floor and buttoning it just enough to cover the essentials.The hem brushed my thighs as she padded barefoot down the grand staircase.The smell of fresh coffee and warm pastries greeted me before I even reached the dining room where I could tell Luca was. Seated at the head of the long mahogany table. His phone in one hand and a cup of espresso in the other.He looked e

  • The Heiress He Lost, The Woman His Uncle Claimed    Chapter twenty Two: intoxicated

    Camilla's POV I was definitely not drunk when I said what I said and he was definitely not drunk also as he crossed the threshold first. The air between us thickened with every inch he closed and my breath caught as his gaze locked on mine. His dark and hungry gaze. I could feel the heat radiating from my body as he reached me, one hand sliding to the small of my back and the other tangling in my hair. He pulled me closer and our lips crashed together in a fierce kiss that stole the air from my lungs. His mouth claimed mine and his tongue swept in with a kind of possessiveness that made my knees give way and a low moan escaped my throat. My fingers curled into his shirt, desperate for more, but he broke the kiss just enough to lift me. His strong arms hook under my thighs, spreading my legs apart as he found the nearest wall and pressed my back against it. I reached for him again while his touch sent heat waves to my body, my hands fumbling towards his belt because I needed t
