Chapter 27

After Liam left, I collapsed into the chair, unable to move. The weight of the truth pressed on me like a boulder. My legs had given out. My head throbbed.

Everything Federico said echoed in my mind—my parents, Grandpa’s lie, my own identity.

Tears streamed down my face freely as I whispered to the empty room, “Why? Why me? Why did you lie to me, Grandpa? Who am I? Who were my parents really?”

I fumbled for my phone with shaky fingers and opened my call log. I saw Sisi’s name—but scrolled past it.

I tapped on Roderick.

It rang. Once… twice…

Then he picked up.

“Yeah? What do you want?” His voice was cold—his usual.

But I couldn’t hold it anymore. “Roderick… please come. I… I don’t want to be here anymore.”

My voice broke, tears pouring uncontrollably as exhaustion overtook me. I didn’t hear his reply. The room began to spin. Heat crawled through my chest. Everything blurred.

Then, darkness.

I woke up to a dull ache in my head, but I felt oddly comfortable. My eyes flutt

    Chapter 26 “Here,” I said, placing the cups on the table. My hands trembled slightly, not from fear—but exhaustion. I didn’t know what was going on, but I was tired of fighting. Tired of screaming. I didn’t realize how draining anger could be until now. “Well done, beautiful,” Liam said with that infuriating smirk. His voice grated against my nerves. He enjoyed riling me up, and my face gave him all the satisfaction he needed. I hated him. “Now,” I said quietly, eyes sharp despite my drained voice. “Who are you—and what do you want?” The older man took a slow sip of tea, nodding. “This is good tea, young lady. Please… drink with us.” He offered me his cup. I wanted to throw it in his face. But they had a gun—and more importantly, I had Grandpa to think about. I couldn’t risk anything reckless. I took the cup, lifted it to my lips, and drank. It was sweet. I was thirsty. I nearly drank it all. “Here, here,” Liam chimed in, sliding his cup toward me dramatically. “Com

    Chapter 25 “Oh my,” the younger man said, clearly entertained. “Looks like this beautiful chick is hot-headed. No wonder Damian took her in.” I stood frozen, holding the knife in trembling hands. Fear coursed through my veins, but I was more than willing to spill blood if I found out something had happened to Grandpa. They knew him. That much was clear. But they didn’t talk like friends. There was something dangerous in their tone—something that made my skin crawl. “Please, miss,” the older man said calmly, his voice steady. “Put down the knife. We can talk this out. No one wants to hurt you.” He said it with such ease, like I wasn’t pointing a blade at his chest. The younger man scoffed and raised my bra to his face, inhaling with a smirk. “Hot,” he muttered, tossing it aside carelessly. Then—he pulled a gun. My breath hitched. Not for myself, but for Grandpa. “Put that thing down, Liam,” the older one ordered, eyes locked on the gun. “Whoever she is, she’s with Damian. Tr

    Chapter 24 “Camila… what—what are you doing?” Adrian asked, still confused, surprised by my sudden move. But I didn’t care. My heart pounded like a war drum. Every second that passed, my grip on his shirt tightened. I could feel his breath on mine, warm and deep, drawing me in like gravity. I didn’t break eye contact. Instead, I remembered. The things he said. The way he held me that day—how he promised to break my marriage with Roderick after Grandpa passed. The way he looked at me… the day at the mall… “Adrian,” I whispered, barely loud enough for anyone but him to hear. “Please… hold me.” I couldn’t fight my emotions anymore. Something inside me was crumbling. Hearing about his wedding felt like something precious was being stolen from me—and I didn’t even know what exactly. But I couldn’t let it go. His eyes softened, unreadable. Then, slowly, his hand moved down my back… settling on my waist… and just a bit lower. The other hand brushed my cheek gently, his

  • Torn between two brothers: One last wish    The biggest news ever

    Chapter 23 "Good morning, Mrs. Camila. How was your night?" the receptionist greeted warmly as I walked into the office. I gave her a soft smile and waved back, continuing through the hallway, greeting my coworkers as I passed. "Good morning, Camila! Are you excited for next week?" Kim said, rushing up to me with excitement practically glowing from her face. "What are you talking about? What’s up next week?" I asked with a puzzled smile. "What do you mean what’s up next week, girl?" she said, her excitement turning to disbelief. "Everyone’s talking about it! It’s literally the biggest news ever." She stared at me like I’d grown another head. "Didn’t you check the group chat? We’ve been talking about it everywhere!" "Sorry, Kim," I replied, scratching the back of my neck. "I haven’t been active in the group lately. I’ve just been… really busy. I haven’t even had enough time for myself. Not to mention, I already have plans next week," I said, my thoughts drifting toward Adrian a
