Camilla’s POV My body froze. My hand trembled uncontrollably on the doorknob that I held. My heart began to pound violently in my chest- threatening to burst out anytime soon. Steve...... Cassandra On the bed? Naked? I thought I was being delusional, so I rubbed my eyes with my other hand hoping to see a different scene before me, but nothing changed. They were actually there, stripped off their clothes- cuddling each other- laughing. I felt out of breath- like I had been caged in an unventilated room. I was running back home to tell Steve how I had just survived death......... only to see that scene waiting for me. I took some steps back, my legs threatening to make me hit the floor, but I held onto the wall for support. I stood still; my back rested on the wall as I eavesdropped on their conversation. “That was a wild ride, darling. I don’t think I can ever get tired of you. You are too sweet,” Steve’s voice rang with joy and satisfaction. “You know I’m capable of maki

Camilla’s POV His hand was warm, and the warmth melted my iced heart- it gave me the comfort I needed. With my hand held in his, he led me out of the club through the back exit. A car was parked there- as if the driver was waiting for us. The car door opened and a young man who seemed to be the driver alighted, approaching us. “Alpha,” he bowed his head as he stood in front of the stranger that was holding my hand in his.“Take us to the hotel,” the stranger ordered the driver and with that, we zoomed off. The ride to the hotel was blurry. I could barely see anything again. My head was spinning, my body ached, and the chilling night air seeped into my bones. We arrived at the hotel which was in a discreet and quiet area- the kind of environment where secrets remained hidden and kept. He helped me out of the car and aided me as we walked to the elevator, down to his suite. He was so cautious and protective of me. He knew I was drunk, so he did well to guide me as I took each

Camilla’s POV The first thing I felt as soon as my eyes fluttered open was pain. My vision blurred, but slowly the world began to align. I was tied to a chair, in a room which was damp and dusty- an abandoned building to be precise. At first, I couldn’t understand how I got there or why I was there, but when the memories of the man I had seen before darkness enveloped me came rushing to me, everything became clear. Alaric- I whispered underneath my breath. I looked around to see if I would catch sight of him- someone, anyone- but I was all alone. Everywhere was silent and the silence became suffocating for me. I struggled- tried freeing myself, but the rope didn’t budge. I looked around, hoping to see any sharp object I could use in cutting the rope, but everywhere was clean of any object- as if Alaric already knew I would be in dire need of one. Just then, I heard footsteps approaching. Even before the door creaked open, I already knew who it was. I could identify those fo

Nora/Camilla’s POV I sat in that isolate room, resting my back on the wall. Father and Alaric had left and I was there- alone with my haunting and terrifying thoughts. The more I thought about that girl- the more I tried picturing what she looked like, the more tears streamed down my eyes. For ten good years, I had been trying to have a child. I took medications, injections, went through the processes of IVF so many times and opted for surrogacy, just so I could have a child who had my blood running in his veins. I ran around aimlessly, not realizing that my child- my own blood- was wallowing in loneliness, waiting for her mother to come for her. To take her hands, console her when she was sad and wiped away her tears when she cried. While I unknowingly cared for my husband's son which he had with his mistress, my own child was neglected by me. She was yearning for her mother's love- the love I had diverted to my rival’s son. Now, she thought of me to be a betrayal- a wicked

Nora/Camilla’s POVI arrived at home, but I couldn't bring myself to step out of the car. I didn't know how to face those monsters and I feared I might not be able to hide my hatred for them so well. Before leaving the hospital, I had it at the back of my mind to confront them, but then, I realized it wasn't a wise idea. What if they hold me hostage and dump me in a dungeon like my father did back then? What if I never get to find out the truth like I had intended? All I needed was to play along- playing my part as the dense wife while unbeknown to them, I would crush every piece of bones in their bodies. I would find out the truth in my way and make them beg for their lives. I breathe in and out, assuring myself I would be able to pull my stunt through. “Everything will be fine, Nora. You're the Mafia Queen after all,” I braced myself, letting out a deep breath before grabbing my handbag and walking out of the car. It was a Saturday and I knew Steve would be home- along with ‘h
