I walked towards a fuming Colin with a mischievous grin" You did that on purpose he said looking at me pissed
You shouldn't have betrayed me yesterday I said my hands crossed as I remembered how he had snitched on me yesterday by calling that bustard Riccardo and telling him that I had ran away again when the true was I had decided to get some fresh air alone without him breathing on my neck" it was creepy as hell and not to mention that instead of acting like a fuckin bodyguard he was acting like a fuckin stalker Besides it wasn't as if I could escape even if I wanted to, I have tried thirsty two times before and each time failing miserably, it was embarrassing, I mean how can I when Riccardo has bodyguards watching me 24/7 I felt angry as I saw four black Range Rovers parked behind us not far from where we stood three of them with four bodyguards inside keeping an eye on me just like Riccardo has instructed them to" In everyone's eyes it might seem normal because I come from wealth and all of that but only I knew they weren't there for my protection but to keep me from escaping" like I always try to, after all I am a captive Violet about yesterday... Save it Colin no need to explain yourself I said dismissively Okay fine" tell me what did you expect me to do, you had gone missing I'm your bodyguard Violet, I panicked" he said still trying to explain himself but everything that came out of his mouth sounded pathetic You're right nothing" I said with sarcasm as I rolled my eyes, one of the things I hated about Colin was that he was a horrible actor it was obvious that he wasn't worried about me but instead of what Riccardo would do to him Violet I'm sorry he said grabbing my hand his fingers trailing on my skin as if brushing it, I instantly pulled away disgusted by his touch I stepped back uncomfortable distancing myself from him as I noticed his lusty eyes falling on my lips Don't you ever touch me like that again" I said angry as I gave him a warning look that said it all , I turned around to leave but he grabbed my arm turning me around, I coldly pushed him away as he without warning attempted to kiss me Angry I slapped him hard causing his mouth to fall open shocked by my sudden action , I looked at him coldly feeling proud of myself as I had been wanting to do that for every long time because he deserved it and I was tired of him trying to force me to accept his creepy advances of love Violet I have guarded you for five years and in this past five years I have hidden your rebelliousness from Riccardo" he said looking at me as if I'm supposed to feel deeply indepted to him But I knew he hadn't done it out of kindness but for his own selfish gain" he had thought that if he let everything I did go unnoticed I would come to warm up to him and see him in a different angle but that never going to happen" by now I know the kind of man he is, he is loyal to no one except money, and Riccardo has plenty of it to give around I'm sure you're not expecting me to kneel down and kiss your feet because I don't remember asking you to do anything for me " I said coldly as I looked at him You're right Violet you didn't but the least you can do is thank me, after all I did it out of love I've never asked you to love me Colin, and I don't expect us to be having this conversation right now, I thought I had made it clear to you a million times that I'll never ever love you" I said coldly this time around making sure the words were ruthless as I looked at him straight in the eyes, and for a moment I could have sworn that I saw his jaw clench before his face returned to it's usual shape I love you Violet more than you will ever know, I have done everything in my power to prove it to you, so why are you refusing to acknowledge my love" he said his gaze turning dark as his footsteps got closer, I stepped back keeping the distance between us not because I felt scared or intimidated but because I was uncomfortable No one will ever love you the way I do Violet, believe it or not I'm crazy for you and I can burn the whole world just to be with you" he said his words coming out with a hint obsession as he stepped even closer but I placed my hand between us Know your limits Colin" I said threateningly as I looked behind him reminding of him of the bodyguards watching me, never in my life had I ever thought that I would feel so greatful that those guys were there watching me So that's how it is" he said with a cracking voice as he looked at me before stepping back, I felt relief wash over me as he did Take me me home now" I demanded coldly as I walked passed him towards the car without giving him another glanceTHIRD PERSON POVTHE BALL, HOTEL MIDNIGHT Collin opened the door for her and offered his hand but she did not take it, He watched as she elegantly stepped out of the limousine" her black diamond stalletos clicking hard on the red carpet as she made her way inside" looking tall and confidence as if demanding to be seen" all eyes on her Paparazzi surrounded her" camera lights flashing in all directions, her bodyguards ready to protect and serve" led the way making sure she was untouched"The atmosphere lively on the inside" Politicians, bachelors, hairessess and major mafia families all present" all dressed for the evening" eager for the big reveal of the long awaited mystery they were all invited for at short notice And then she walked in her footsteps low and steady' sharp against the marble floor" silence fell over the room like a blanket" thick enough to cut with a knifeAll eyes on her" but she did not care" she moved forward unbothered' each step measured carefully" her emeral
CAMILA'S POV The sound of utensils was the only sound in the roomI walked to the table and took a seat next to Amelia" it was not as if I liked sitting next to her but she was the least evil person in this house Riccardo's cold gaze shifted to me I could tell he was expecting a greeting but I remained calm and unfazed I took notice of the three empty chairs across the table" Ethan and Tristan were absent I could also tell that Riccardo wasn't pleased about it.I heard someone pull out the chair next to me" I turned to the side and to my dismay it was non other than Tristan"Violet" I heard him greet in deep voice but I pretended not to have heard him" I avoided looking at him like the plague Since we are all present I have an announcement to make I heard Riccardo say sitting at the head of the table Unterested in what he had to say I continued slicing the croissant on my plate ignoring him completely I'm hosting a ball tonight" he said and I continued with what I was doing my e
CAMILA'S POV I looked at myself in the mirror remembering my father's words" always dress for the part and that is what I was doing I smiled satisfied with what I was seeing" I looked badass sexy If I am to take my revenge I might as well do it looking good I smiled applying more red lipstick before walking to the bed and putting on my pink coat that matched with the sexy pitch mini dress I wore After putting on my heels I left the room and went downstairs" the dinning room was empty I must have came early for breakfast, I went straight to the kitchen to greet my nanny Madeline" who was like a mother figure to me When I came in she was chopping the veggies but she dropped the knife when she saw me" I smiled running towards her Oh Violet my sweet girl how have you been she said tearly receiving me with open arms" good and you I said hugging her I've been well but I missed you" look at you you've grown up into a beautiful young woman she said emotional So have you you've grown
TRISTAN'S POV The night breeze blew through the curtains" spreading the scent of vanilla into the air" I shouldn't be here yet I am looking at her like a predator looks at it's prey I came closer inhaling the scent of her dark brown hair it smelled like vanilla" it was intoxicating" tempting me to sin in ways neither of us wouldn't be able to imagine in our wildest dreams But then again I am already a sinner in her eyes she already hates me and sees me as the villain in her life and I can't blame her for it" I have given her many reasons to hate me and none to think otherwise Maybe that's why before her I never knew there was Karma" but I got a taste of it I still am Karma got it's revenge" it played it's most cruel joke" never in my life would I have ever known that I would end up falling in love with her" Who would have thought that the girl whose life I had made a living hell would become my heart's downfall" my heart and fate played a cruel joke" and the sad part is that I
CAMILA'S POV Since childhood I wasn't one to keep my mouth shut I always spoke my mind out even if it got me into trouble **** I looked at Ethan the silence eating me alive, unable to hold myself anymore I finally asked the question I've been wanting to ask since Riccardo left Why did you stand up for me" I asked looking at him as we were the only ones left on the table I had expected a thank you but it seems that some things never change" he said looking at me his lips curling into a smirk Thank you for what, I can stand up for myself Ethan I'm not helpless I said rolling my eyes" What do you want I asked even though I knew there isn't anything I could possibly give him that he doesn't have Can't a brother do something nice for his younger sister he said suddenly acting all caring and innocent but I wasn't buying the act that's because I know that nobody around here does something for nothing, they all looked out for themselves" That's why I'm pissed that he thinks I owe him
