I observed her lips halt, her gaze fixated on me, her expression etched with dissatisfaction. It appeared as though she yearned to utter something, yet battled to restrain herself. The look on her face revealed it all. After moments of silence, she finally yielded, uttering the customary pleasantries of well-being. However, I sensed that her words held a hidden meaning, insinuating something else entirely. Once again, the thought crossed my mind - could she truly be the one responsible for my attack?If indeed she is, why have Cameron and the others not taken action yet? What could possibly drive a proud woman like Gina and her daughter to bow down before someone like Cecilia? Countless questions plagued my mind.She turned away from me, directing her attention towards Gina and Blair instead. "How about you both rise from the ground? I don't wish to appear as the villain here," she said, bursting into a fit of hysterical laughter.Her repulsive laughter echoed through the air, yet no

The whole room went still, eagerly awaiting him to reveal what this suggestion was. “I think it’s too early for the children to be separated from their mother.” “Don’t you think it’s better to do it now that they haven’t grown yet? It won’t take long to forget about her.” Cecilia casually said.“What do you mean by that?”“Exactly what you heard!” Her eyes turned to me, “I want you out of our lives for good, that way Cameron and I can finally have peace.”The thought alone was ridiculous, I wondered how she could speak with a straight face, “don’t tell me you’re really going to divorce me and get married to this woman.”Though Cameron hadn’t mentioned it yet, I could tell since Cecilia had been hinting at it for a while. She seemed ecstatic as she spoke with pride making me wonder if she had no shame. But I knew that for a woman like her, shame was a foreign concept. There’s no line she wouldn’t cross to achieve her goals, it would be stupid of me to fight her because of Cameron. Unl

As we made eye contact, I longed to hear him say that it was all a joke and clear up the misunderstanding but much to my dismay he retracted his fingers and looked away. “You should stop provoking Cecilia,” he spoke calmly, “my decision to divorce you has nothing to do with her.”I sniffed, “look me in the eyes and say it.” However Cameron wouldn’t budge, “even a little child can tell you’re lying.” It was all too clear. “Deny it all you want but what you can’t hide are your feelings for me, I see it clearly so I don’t know why you wouldn’t resort to this.”He turned around instantly meeting my gaze with a harsh glare. “I never loved you from the beginning, you were the one who kept forcing your way into my life, even after I told you that it would be impossible for me to love a maid in this lifetime, you still persisted. Why? Were you hoping I’d fall hopelessly in love and split my fortune with you?”“Excuse me?” I couldn’t help but blink in disbelief already aware of what he was in

He strolled off without waiting for a reply, leaving me standing there with my mouth open. As soon as Cameron was out of sight, my knees gave up on me and I crumbled to the ground placing a palm on my aching heart as I struggled to breathe. While I was busy bawling my eyes out, someone stepped into my view. I trailed my eyes up to find Cecilia staring down at me with a mischievous sight.“What a lovely sight to witness.” She marveled at my misery, “and what’s even better is that things are only going to get worse from now on.”I ceased tears immediately rising to my feet, now that there was only the two of us alone I had questions to ask. “What have you done to him?”“Nothing,” she shrugged, “he’s the one who came to me, begging for my help.”“And what exactly does he need help with?”“If I told you, you wouldn’t be able to do a thing anyway, so what’s the point?”I went silent, struggling to come up with a response, in the end it all boils down to my status, because I’m way too benea

There was a long pause between us before she finally looked up meeting my gaze, her lips parted open and I braced myself for her next words, “Colton is my father.” She said looking me dead in the eye. I found myself at loss of words, never would I have thought that the same person who wanted me dead was none other than Cameron’s father. But what connection did we have? I have never even met this man before, so how could it be that he wanted me dead?Too many thoughts were swirling through my head at the moment making me unable to process it all at once. Blair simply watched me struggle, her expression was hard to decipher however I am very sure that mine betrays my thoughts. No wonder Cameron seemed conflicted, no wonder the murder hasn’t been caught and no one said a word about it. Even the maids were struggling to keep this secret, they all knew. Everybody knew except for me and honestly speaking I can’t seem to be able to come to a decision.“And why on earth would your father want
