Tastes Like A Set Up

The brownies were getting burnt! I could not just speak directly of course. But I had to do something. "Um, Savanah, they're getting burnt." I said to her in a gentle tone. She looked at me like I were something from the trash can, those big eyes bulged open."Who are you to tell me what to do? You fool." She scoffed. "Why don't you do it then?"It was the anniversary of the late boss Hans, the head of the family. He died three years ago so they celebrated him every year. The whole family gathered to celebrate him, but my husband and I host everyone. "Sure. I'll just switch off the oven now." I quickly rush to off it. She rolled her eyes and walked away. My husband came in just in that moment. "And what's up with her now?" Jaxon said in his deep voice. He had grown extra the couple past years I barely recognized him with his tummy slightly protruding. "I just stepped in now and saw the brownies were getting burnt!"I explained while taking out the brownies from the oven. "We might

A Guest Arrives

Camila's POVI couldn't believe what had just happened. "Jaxon? I told you what happened, how can you still doubt me like this!"Savanah blinked, she knew her brother was taking her side. "Why will you lie like this, Camila? What did I ever do wrong?""You--" anger filled me but I never spoke bad to my in laws before so why start now?"Aren't you even bothered about your son? Look at you keen on attacking my own precious daughter." Aubrey said. It raised a few suspicious glances at me from everyone that I turned to leave.I paused, then signaled to Jaxon. "I need to see you." He hesitated for a while, then rose up. "Where are you going my son? Stay, will you?" Aubrey asked."Yea, are you acting like a pussy like this because of this woman?" Blake spat out. I always found Blake disgusting. He was a big headache on his own. With Jaxon being the first child, he sure allowed his younger ones take advantage of him too much. And Jaxon and I were almost age mates with him taking one year

Another Baby

Camila's POV"Me? Who's that?" I said, following her downstairs. "Her name was madam Vanessa."I did not hear her clearly. "I'm sure there's been some sort of mix up somewhere. Vanessa?" I shook my head. I wasn't buying this!I tried to keep myself, calming down. I always knew that Vanessa was becoming...too available. But she was my own friend, and I never invited her! "It's so lovely to see you here, I didn't think you would make it--" this was Aubrey, Jaxon's mother.I felt betrayed that my chest stung. "Wait, you knew of her arrival?" I turned to Jaxon, "you invited her over without telling me?""Oh I'm sorry to be an inconvenience. I jsit thought Jaxon would have let you know." Vanessa said, smiling innocently. "I'm a little angry, Vanessa. Why did you show up without letting me know." I frowned. No matter how cute she tried to be, I was still angry. "Caleb was even shocked too.""Can we just stop acting weird now and just eat??" Jaxon said, clearing his throat. "Come on, Vane

This Is Goodbye

Camila's POV I mean I had always suspected something strange was going on between them. Caleb even made assumptions! I...I just couldn't believe my doubts to be true.I didn't know how long I'd been waiting but finally, Jaxon came back. Blake was not with him. "You seem in a rush. How is she?" I said, even though I was still angry, I needed to know that she was okay. He ignored and kept pacing around. "Jaxon, can you hear me? I'm talking to you.""She could have died if we didn't rush her to the hospital on time, Camilla! Okay? Now leave me alone.""I don't like your tone. What is important is that she's fine now.""But my baby might not be!" He roared out. You could see the anger boiling in his eyes. "Your baby?" The words were heavy and bitter in my mouth."If anything goes wrong, I will never forgive you okay! You'll pay for it. I wondered why tears weren't flooding from my eyes right now. I was devastated, after all this years of our marriage, he would cheat on me and chose an

We're Going To Be Rich!

Camila's POV "Thanks Tessa, you really are the best." I said with a smile. Caleb was pouting and didn't even say a word. I could see him from the mirror. "Honey, won't you say thank you to Tessa for her help?" He shrugged. "Whatever, thanks aunt Tessa.""Teenagers." I said cloaking my concern in an awkward smile."That doesn't mean he should give you that tone. I tell you all the time, Cami. That tone was not proper." Tessa insisted."Can we not talk about that now?" I cut her off. She always told me to handle the situation more seriously, telling me that I wouldn't want him to become bratty like Jaxon's family, and it always hurt a little. But today will not be the day to scold him. "Sure, fine whatever you say, cuz." She said instantly. Tessa was like my sister, and her parents took care of me like I was their own."So how's aunty and uncle?" She smiled,"when you call then aunty and uncle, you sound like you're still four years old." I ended up laughing. "Well, I'm still their
