Camila's POVTears streamed down my cheeks as I walked out of the quarters. I didn't even want to listen to anyone. I couldn't believe I trusted him in the first place. It was so foolish of me to think he actually wouldn't do something like that. Of course, he was just like every other influential man who thought they could get away with anything they wanted even if it was breaking someone else's feelings. I stopped a taxi immediately, I got out of the palace, and with years blinding my vision, I arrived at Candice's house where she was about to leave home. “Camila, are you okay?” She asked with worry in her voice as she walked in over to me. “Come in.”I sat on one of her sofas and burst into fresh tears. I told Candice everything that happened between my tears and she pulled me close for a warm hug. “I can't believe I gave my heart to someone like him, Candice. I caught them in the bed that was supposed to be ours. How could he even do that to me?” I screamed in frustration and she

Candice's POVAs I stepped out of the car, I walked straight to the supermarket to get some food like Adrian had asked me to get for Camila to stay with me. Why on earth would I even tell him if Camila and Claire are the same person? Was that even a reasonable thing to say? As I packed the stuff I went to buy and stepped out of the supermarket, the sky was already dark and it seemed like it would rain any moment. I didn't bring my umbrella and I knew for sure I would be soaked if I didn't hurry up. I walked down the curb hurriedly as the rain started to drizzle. I then noticed someone was following me. I quickened my steps as I could to avoid whoever it was but the person kept on following me till I stopped. “What do you want, Drake?” I said angrily as an umbrella shielded me.“Let's have coffee together.” He said, not waiting for my answer as he shoved the umbrella in my hand, walking over to the nearby cafe as the rain poured on him. I rolled my eyes as I followed him into the caf

Adrian's POVI sat behind my desk as I buried my face between my palms. I didn't know if what I was doing was the right thing to do but I had to get Eliza off my back once and for all. A sigh escaped my lips as the door pushed open and Drake stepped into the room with some boxes. “Did you find them?” I asked him and he shook his head negatively. It's been days now and we've been trying to dig up dirt of King Trace but it seemed impossible. “I didn't find anything. But there are claims of fake reports and all. We can't just wage war against them without having enough things to use.” He said as he dropped them on my table. I stood up and started looking through the papers in the boxes but they were of no good use to me. “We have to at least do something before they start to carry out their plan. I can tell their plan has something to do with what made Camila leave.” I said as I sat back in my chair with my arms folded. In the seats, we can't wage war against each other without havin

CAMILA'S POVAfter over an hour lovemaking session, I fell on Adrian's chest exhausted. If it wasn't that he could see the exhaustion on my face, he didn't mind continuing. I was instantly sleeping but I knew I had to make food for Isabella. “You should have at least spared me,” I said with my voice just above a whisper and his fingers drew lines up my bare chest.“Come on sweetheart, don't tell me you can't have me for that little time.” He said teasingly. “Stop teasing me.” I whimpered as I pushed myself up from his chest, walking over to the bathroom to take a shower as he looked at me with so much interest. “Why are you looking at me?”“Have I ever told you how extremely hot you are?” He said with a wink and I couldn't help but blush, which he instantly noticed. After taking a shower, he got in after me and took a shower while I got dressed. We both stepped out of the room to see Isabella and Candice still sitting in front of the TV, eating junk. “Isabella,” I called and she im

ADRIAN'S POVI sat gently in Candice's living room, waiting for Camila and Drake to return. I had asked him to keep an eye on her and search for her while she was with Eliza to avoid anything fishy that Eliza might want to do. “Here.” Candice's voice pulled me out of my thoughts as she placed a glass of juice before me. She sat on the other sofa, folding her legs as she sipped from hers. “Thank you,” I replied before taking the glass and drinking from it. The coldness made me calm a bit. “Candice,” I called her and she looked at me with a raised brow. “Do you still like Drake?” I asked her and she looked at me with her smile wiping off. “Do not get me wrong, I am not asking because he asked me to. But it seems you're still in love with him.” I said calmly and she scoffed.“I didn't say I wanted to permanently break up. I said I just need a break. I traveled and by the time I was back, he was already with another freaking woman. Who does that?” She said with a low sarcastic laugh. “
