"Nicholas you really poured spoilt milk in your class teacher's bag? Gosh you were such a naughty teenager I swear. I mean who does that!" Camilla erupted into fits of laughter as she engaged in a chit-chat with Nicholas. With him around her, she could happily say that she was really enjoying her night.She had never felt more happy in the past few days.With the arrival of Tessa, it felt like happiness had being eroded off her life."I was to be honest. I am more calm now. Back then infact my teachers thought I was going to be a delinquent. I honestly got into all sorts of crazy adventures back then in school" Nicholas concurred to her statement as a smile etched by the corners of his lips."So what changed you then? You fell in love?" Camilla cheekily asked, her eyes taking hold of his facial features.Nicholas chuckled and heaved a deep sigh. "Well why do you ask that?" His voice carried a tone laced with sterness in it.Camilla was taken aback by his tone that for a moment she

CAMILLA I cried deeply on seeing myself handcuffed. How did this even happen?One moment I was enjoying my night with Nicholas and the next moment, I am being framed for a crime I never committed. How did my night turn out to be like this? I am really getting sent to jail?How?It all felt like a bizarre dream to me, a dream which I badly wanted to be awoken from.I am not a thief."I did not do it please. I am not a thief. I am innocent. Tessa please stop this" I shed uncontrollable tears as the office tried to lead me out of the the house."Officer there is a huge misunderstanding. I mean she would never try to steal. Camilla is not the culprit" Nicholas firmly said, holding onto officer Tristan's hand. Officer Tristan yanked his hand away from Nicholas' grip and shot him a smouldering look. "But the purse was found in her room""She could have been framed. Maybe somebody put in there" Braden interceeded for me. My teary orbs grew swollen and so reddened. I could barely even se

Footsteps from behind the door grew louder as Camilla and Braden plodded towards the mansion doors.Branden opened up the doors and walked in with Camilla behind him, startling Tessa who was on the phone with a friend of hers. Sighting Camilla caused her blood to boil. Anger and jealousy flowed through her veins as she watched Camilla saunter into the house with Braden in front of her. Tessa ended the call and walked to Branden angrily."What the fuck is going on here Branden? Why did you bring this pathetic thief back to the house? Do you want her to steal all your properties first before you would be convinced? She deserves to be in jail!" Tessa spoke in a perplexed and enraged manner.Once again her plan to put discard Camilla failed all thanks to Braden who would stop at nothing to keep Camilla away from trouble.Seeing Camilla released wasn't the one thing that got Tessa so frustrated, what made her more pissed was seeing her boyfriend Braden standing up for Camilla and bailing

CAMILLAI watched Braden embrace the young man whom addressed him as 'Bro'. For a while, I was lost in the sea of confusion wondering if that man was truly Braden's blood brother.But then I remembered that Braden was an only child of his poor parents--poor parents back then well so probably this man could just be his close associate. "It has really been such a while. I mean look at you" Braden playfully ruffled the young man's hair. The man smacked his hands away with a chortle. "Can you please stop doing that whenever we see? Like I know you are older than I am but I am an adult too Braden" the man protested."Not a chance. Come on in please" Braden smiled gleefully as he led him inside.I just sat like a clueless spectator, glued to the chair and wondering what sort of relationship they shared.They seemed really close, closer than Braden and Nicholas if you asked me.Well Braden's and Nicholas relationship these days had turned a bit sour. I would not want to say it was my fa

CAMILLA It suddenly felt like I had become immovable as I was glued onto the corners of the doorway. My heart pounded in my ears and my breathing escalated so tremendously, becoming so rapid. Did I just hear him right or was I making up those stuffs in my head?My frigid orbs trailed once more towards Thomas as he stood on the inside of the room, with his back turned against me. "Trust me on this. He is a fool. A big one. He thinks he owns and knows everything but I'll show him just exactly how much he owns. He is a big fool Ophelia" Thomas sneered to whoever was at the end of the call. Fuck.This man is not who he claims to me.No wonder my guts did not seat well with his offer. He is a big scam. He wants to destroy Braden."You see this entire property of his? I will get it baby. Just give me two weeks. In those two weeks, I will make Braden sign away his wealth and assets to me. And then I and you will live and thrive on it. We will build our own empire together" Thomas let
