My One-Night Stand Was My Stepbrother のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

Camila's POVDaniel looked at me and was as guilty as they came. He paused for a second, and I could tell that he wanted to talk to me badly.On the other hand, I wanted nothing more than to get up and leave the room before he got the idea that I was going to entertain a conversation with him.And the more I looked at him from the corner of my eye, the more I could tell that his thoughts were winning over, and he was about to talk to me at any moment.That wasn't going to happen, at least not on my watch. Without hesitation, I quickly gathered the documents that were in front of me and pushed my chair back.If Daniel was going to talk to me, he would have to do it outside. And that wasn't a guarantee as well.Before I even took the first step, he was already back to the door, blocking my only exit.I tilted my head at him, wondering what his game plan was, because at my workplace was not the place to pull that kind of move.He was doing something that I was about to question him about

Camila's POVI couldn't believe that Daniel really thought that I was going to listen to him and feel sympathetic towards him.The life that he wanted so badly that didn't include me, crumbled right in front of his face. And it was all finally starting to make sense.He didn't know where I was for five years, and when I finally came back, he was shocked to see that I didn't crawl out of the dumpster looking like the problems he left me with.I had rebuilt myself, and was even working. Over time, he realized that I didn't just rebrand myself. I had rebuilt everything from scratch and didn't need him.There's a huge possibility that for five years, he thought that I would go running back to him, begging for him to take me back.Boy was he in for a surprise. I couldn't stand the sight of him, let alone even consider going back to the hell that he took me through.That would've been the biggest insult to myself and my family, after everything that he had done to me.So, I didn't even thin

Camila's POV Vincent's offer bothered me for the rest of that day, to the point where I don't think I managed to actually get any work done.When I thought that thinking about what Daniel had revealed to me was going to bother me, I was hit with a different kind of rollercoaster which made it hard even thinking straight, knowing that his office was just a stone throw away.By the time evening came around, I had managed to sort some of the documents on my tab for the site visit that was still scheduled for the following day.Charles had walked up to me and told me that even though I needed to focus on Margaret, I also needed to make it seem like I was working like normal.The case could wait for another day, especially since I was told that I could take the day after that off,so that I could sit down and figure out how I was going to get that woman to spill everything before she made the deal.I went home bothered, and even mom noticed it. We were having dinner, of which I was worried

Camila's POVI had no other choice but to listen to him. The one thing that started to ring in my head was that as long as that day was going to end, it meant that I was going to get a whole day all to myself to figure out how to deal with Margaret.As long as the day wouldn't include coming across Daniel for the entire day, it felt like a relief.“What's so fucking important that you need to talk to me about? Didn't you already tell me that the marriage between you and Samantha isn't working out?Haven't you told me how you regret how she lost your unborn child and won't be able to give birth at all?What more do you want to tell me? I'm not your fucking therapist Daniel. I'm your ex wife, and that's in the past!”This time, I wasn't lucky that the drill went off when I opened my mouth, I planned for it.I watched and saw as they were about to continue drilling, and chose that as the perfect time for me to explode and shout at Daniel.He was standing about three feet away from me, an

Camila's POVA few days had gone by, and between working the Margaret case and the project at work, I was starting to finally find the balance.That was until I got a call from Charles when I was on lunch break, he sounded agitated and his tone implied that he had something urgent to tell me.I quickly rushed from the cafeteria to his office, wondering what he could have wanted to tell me. When I walked into the room, I noticed that Vincent was also there.Cue the instant awkwardness that came over me when we locked eyes. Over the few days, I had done my best to avoid him at work and even at home.I hadn't given him the response he was looking for from me, and I was almost certain that his window was surely closed. Perhaps that's what I was looking for, perhaps not.Before I could react, movement from the corner of my eye caught my attention and when I turned to see that it was Charles. Of course he was also going to be there.Why wouldn't he be? It was his fucking office that we were
