Camila’s POV“What do you mean you don’t want to sit down?” I inquired, staring at him still wondering why exactly he was there. I knew it was not to just check up on me like he claimed.He finally approached my desk and placed his hands on it staring at me from my head to my chest.“What’s going on?” I asked again, getting uncomfortable and impatient.“I’ve told you to always be patient Camila, always yelling won’t get you anywhere. You need to understand that I won’t do anything to hurt you.” He muttered in a sort of a whisper and I wondered why he was whispering now.What was he on about?“Alan I was quite busy when you walked in, if you’re not going to take your seat or tell me why you’re here, then you might as well take your leave,” I said with a serious expression plastered on my face.“Oh really, you’re sending me out now? You don’t want me here again?” He asked with a teasing smile on his face but I wasn’t being teased.“In order words, get out. I don’t have time for whatever

Camilla’s POV“Yes, baby,” I muttered gently patting her head as she laid her head back on the pillow. She looked so tired and pale that I feared what might happen to her.“Don’t leave me mom.” She muttered reaching for my hands as I caught them and placed them into mine.I squeezed her hands into mine as I realized that she said what she said. She regarded me as her mom and it felt so nice to be called mom.I stared into her eyes like a worried mother as she struggled to fall back to sleep. I stared at her keenly, not wanting to take my eyes off her for a single minute. I was scared of what would happen to her if I wasn’t here.I’ve never been called mom before and hearing it from Isabella gave me a sign of relief and happiness. It was all so exciting and I felt so proud.I would never let her down, I would make sure she would never go through any pain again. She was my number one priority and it was so hard seeing her in such pain and I couldn’t do anything but stay beside her.“Don

Adrian’s POV“Stay away from my wife and my family! I would kill you if you ever lay your miserable hands on anyone I love. “ I muttered continuously, sending hard blows across his face without any regrets."Stop it, Adrian! Do you want to kill him? The both of you should just stop this madness already!" I heard Camila yell.Camila's anger radiated throughout the sparring ground, and I couldn't exactly say that I blamed her. She had never seen me like this, so it was understandable since Alan's betrayal had cut deep, and my fury fueled the punches I delivered to that traitor. I turned, slowly, to face her and I saw her eyes flashing with a mix of concern and frustration. Alan took the opportunity to retreat, shaking his head defiantly. I glared at his retreating figure and debated on whether to follow him and teach him a lesson he would never forget, risking more of Camila's anger or just going with her and apologizing for what she had just witnessed.Before I could decide, though, Ca

Adrian's POVI sat comfortably on my seat, thinking about what Candice had said about missing Claire. At least she got to see Claire's body but I never saw her body no matter how much I demanded it. At first, I became suspicious when her mother refused to even let me see her until she was buried. A knock on the door distracted me and I gazed up to see Drake walk into the room. “Your car is ready.” He said and I nodded before walking out of the office, and down the hallway. I looked outside and saw Isabella through the large glass wall, talking happily with Camila. I didn't want Camila to know about where I was going so I decided to keep it from her. “If she asks to see me, tell her I hurriedly left to deal with some royal issues and I'll be back before nighttime,” I said to Drake and he nodded before I walked off. I walked straight to my car waiting for me and drove to the private cemetery where Claire was buried. The ground belonged to the royal family and I appreciated the fact t

CAMILA'S POV“Let's go to the love canal. You used to love it too.” She said as she dragged me towards the love canal. It did look beautiful on the outside and I wondered what exactly was it that I liked about the place because just by looking at it, I did not like it.We stepped into our arranged boat and it started to move automatically. I wasn't paying attention to the ride and the surroundings as I wondered who Claire that man was talking about when he asked Candice if she missed her. Candice never kept anything from me and she told me everything under the sun, being a very jovial person but she never told me about Claire. Could it be that it was Adrian's ex lover and Candice knew something about her? Was it her? The questions flowed through my mind as I watched Candice and Isabella look around the surroundings with bright smiles. Maybe I was just overthinking it and she was just someone Candice didn't want to talk about because, from the look of things the other time, she didn'
