The air was lighter than usual and I felt like I could finally breathe.I went into the kitchen to make coffee to start my day. Rory and Raphael still hadn’t woken up. I drank my coffee and got started on making breakfast.A few minutes later, Raphael walked into the kitchen. “Good morning.” He greeted.“Good morning. There’s coffee if you want some.” I said.“Thank you.”“Rory’s still asleep?”“Yeah.”There was silence in the kitchen. Raphael was focused on his coffee while I was focused on making breakfast. Rory trudged into the kitchen a few minutes later.“Hey, sleepyhead. Good morning.” I said.“Good morning.”“How’d you sleep?”“Fine.” She said.“Go brush your teeth so you can have breakfast.” I said.“I’ll help her.” Raphael offered, and then both of them went away.I finished making breakfast and set the table for the three of us. I had given Martha some time off.

She couldn’t go to that school anymore, not after what had happened.I still hadn’t heard from Raphael after he left. Every minute, I said a prayer Im my heart for Jason. I also took a break from work for the whole week. I needed time to rest and think about what was going on my life.The investigation was still ongoing.

Chapter Seventy-FiveCamilla’s POVIt had been two days since James told me the truth about everything. We hadn’t spoken since then. I didn’t know if I wanted to be angry at him. Like he said, he didn’t have a choice, they were going to kill him if he didn’t give them what they wanted.There was some good news at least, Jason had woken up and was recovering in the hospital. Rory was asking about him, she didn’t know he had been in an accident and was in the hospital. I wasn’t planning on telling.I’d been doing a lot of thinking these past few days. I’ve been thinking about Rory, myself, my grandfather, and also Raphael. I kept thinking about whether I wanted to raise my daughter here, especially after what happened with James. One of my closet friends here had betrayed my trust and compromised my daughter’s safety.I didn’t tell Raphael about what James told me. He had enough on his plate already, I didn't want him to worry more.“Mummy, can I talk to Daddy?” Rory asked.“I don’t kno

Chapter Seventy-SevenCamilla’s POVThe days were passing by fast and Rory still hadn’t returned to school yet because I hadn’t made a decision. The plan was to go to New York for Jason’s birthday and then figure out if I wanted to stay there or return to California.We went to the store last night to get a gift for Jason. Rory asked me to get Spider-Man themed toys because that was what Jason liked. We were on the plane to New York.

I already knew he would be home since he hadn’t resumed work yet.We went inside and went to the study. I knocked gently on the hard door and heard a response from him to go in.I opened the door slowly and walked inside with Rory.“Pops.” Rory screamed excitedly.“Camilla, Rory. What a surprise.

Chapter Seventy-NineCamilla’s POVJason’s birthday party was supposed to start by 2:00pm. It was currently 12:00pm and Rory and I were getting ready to leave. She was insisting we leave early so we could get there before others.Raphael had already mentioned the possibility of me running into people who I knew from the past or other public figures.
