“I want you back, Camilla.” Alessandro confessed his true feelings.“I don't think I want to come back.” Camilla replied without much thinking.“Why don't you want to come back?” Alessandro questioned, “Your boyfriend?”Camilla took a sip of the soothing liquid in her glass,“It has nothing to do with my boyfriend. I plan on setting up an online store where people can make orders and I bake from home to deliver to them.”As much as Alessandro didn't want to agree, the online business idea was a great idea. If well executed, it could skyrocket her profits. He knew this much because he was a seasoned entrepreneur by heart. He also noted that she had used the word home to describe Allen's house. That castrated bulldog's house!“That is a great idea. What inspired it?” Alessandro asked.“My boyfriend, Allen,” Camilla said, “He came up with the idea, and now I am bent on executing it well to see how far we can go with it.”On the other hand, the mention of Allen in this conversation was gri

Camilla whirled around, her jaw clenched so tightly that it could creak when she saw who had slapped her. It was Ruby. Ruby stood glaring hard at Camilla, her fists curled.Camilla charged against her and gave her an even hotter slap for her pain, “What is wrong with you!” Ruby staggered back at the impact of the slap, almost losing her balance.Ruby's eyes narrowed to icy slits; a low, rumbling growl tore from her throat as she snapped the distance between them, yanking Camilla's brown hair. Camilla winced in pain and returned her favour almost immediately.“Gold-digging bastard!” Ruby's voice came out in uneven breaths as they fought.“Stop!” Jax bit out the command, coming in between them and peeling their hands off each other’s hair. “I'll have to send you both out of here. If this fight resumes. This is a hospital for Christ's sake. Compose yourselves.”Both of them glared down at each other, the thick air between them crackling with tension.“Ask this stupid bitch to get out of

She ambled slowly to his room, hoping whatever her mind was telling her wasn't true.She kept the food on the bench just beside the room door and slowly twisted the doorknob open and saw Alessandro sleeping peacefully. She wondered if he was dreaming about kissing her in his dream, looking at his sweet, pink lips slightly puckered up. His black hair was slightly scattered and covering his eyes. He looked so good, he could pass for "sleeping handsome" if that was a thing.She wouldn't mind kissing his lips if that was prescribed by the doctor to make him recover faster. Quite frankly, if she could, she would unplug her lips from her mouth and give it to him for his kissing pleasure and for faster recovery. She chided herself for the evil thoughts she had for him.She placed the plate on the cabinet and returned to close the door. Twirling again to Alessandro, she caught his eyes open, and her heart jumped, her eyes widening for a few seconds. “You startled me there,” she said, walking

“What kind of accident did she have?” Barbara probed again, and Allen swallowed, suddenly sweating; he unlocked another button on his shirt for more air.“I'm not in a favourable position to tell you about the accident; I think she would be able to explain better herself.”“Hm," Barbara hummed in thought.“You can ask her all the questions you want when she comes around.” Allen said, “How about we prepare fish and chips instead? I'm sure she will love it better than Shepherd's pie.” He changed the subject“Anything for the lady that swept my grandson off his feet. She must be a special woman.” Barbara said, “Tell me something about this girl.”“So she is a talented pastry chef, very keen on business; she is caring and down to earth,” Allen narrated, smiling. “She is also a wonderful home manager. She is a lot. She is someone I would love to be the mother of my unborn kids.”“I would love to see my great-grandchildren soon,” Barbara leaned back into the soft leather seat. “I'm eager to

Camilla disconnected the call from Allen because of his allegations. Why was he so angry? Why would he shout at her for something completely outside her control? Would he have been happier if they were attacked in his apartment and killed? He probably didn't understand the situation well enough, she told herself.“Seems someone finally got herself a boyfriend.” Camilla heard the familiar feminine voice again and knew immediately that it was Ruby. She had eavesdropped on the entire conversation between Allen and Camilla.“What the hell do you want now? Are you not sick of this childish drama?” Camilla asked her, her facial features not holding an inch of a smile.“You call me childish? You are the one being childish here. Get off my boyfriend's skin! You have yours!” Ruby narrowed her eyes at her, and Camilla palmed her face in exasperation.“Honestly, Ruby, I'm exhausted of all this drama. I'm not after your boyfriend. You are free to enjoy him to your heart's content. Even I want a c
