Camila’s POVI shook my head slowly. I don’t know why, but this time I really wanted to touch him, too.After what had just happened, I felt dirty. Arlo had touched my hand and slapped my cheek, and I wanted Javier to erase every trace of that man’s touch from my body.I pressed our lips together again. I wrapped both my arms around his neck, then ran my fingers through his hair to deepen the kiss, which was now beginning to be enveloped in a haze of passion.Javier guided me onto the bed, still holding me tightly in his arms.Then, when our kiss broke for a moment, he gazed intently into my eyes. His fingers gently kissed my cheek—the one Arlo had slapped—caressing it with the utmost care.Javier still hadn’t spoken, but I could see that his eyes, too, were completely shrouded in a haze of burning passion.Slowly, his gaze drifted downward. Javier began to help me take off my clothes. This time he did it very slowly and carefully—no more clothes being roughly yanked until they tore.

Author’s POV Javier was about to step forward to invite Camila back to their private home.However, his steps halted instantly when his mother suddenly stood in his way, spreading her arms wide. Javier, of course, glared at his mother with a annoyed expression.“What’s the big deal, Mom? I’m not going to wear her out!” he complained openly.A heavy sigh escaped Isabella’s lips. The middle-aged woman stared at her son with an expression of disbelief, as if what he was saying was just an excuse. “A team of therapists will be coming later to take care of Camila, Javier. So don’t bother her! If you really don’t want to go home and choose to stay here, that’s fine. But you have to sleep in your own room! Don’t you dare sleep with her tonight!”Javier didn’t answer right away. He shifted his gaze to Camila, as if asking for help so his fiancée would defend him. However, Camila chose to look away while stifling a laugh, agreeing to her future mother-in-law’s order.Isabella smiled with sat

 Author’s POVJavier smiled as he looked at the stack of photos Nicolas had brought. Camila’s face looked so beautiful, even though most of the photos were blurry.Well, what can you expect from a four-year-old?Just getting him to cooperate was already a huge step forward.“What do you think, Dad? Is Mom pretty?” Nicolas asked innocently.Javier turned his head and nodded slowly. “Hmm, your mom is always pretty. Very pretty.”Nicolas’s smile widened even more. He leaned in closer, then whispered something right into his father’s ear.“Dad, Mom recorded a special video just for you earlier,” he whispered confidentially.Hearing this, Javier immediately pulled out his phone again to look for the video in question. As soon as he pressed play, a smile spread across Javier’s face and wouldn’t fade as he listened to the sweet voice and message from

 Camila’s POVI was about to say thank you, but my words trailed off when the bathroom door suddenly swung open and several women dressed in black suits stepped inside.“Are you all right, ma’am?” one of them asked anxiously.I looked at her, furrowing my brow in confusion because I didn’t recognize her.“I’m Stefi. Mr. Javier assigned me a while ago to keep an eye on you from a distance,” she said again, as if understanding my confusion.I nodded in understanding, offering a faint smile. However, I just realized that the woman who had given me the lipstick a moment ago had already disappeared. And I hadn’t even had a chance to thank her yet.“I’m fine, Stefi. I’m just cleaning my dress,” I replied reassuringly.Stefi nodded slowly. Her eyes darted around the restroom area, as if making sure nothing posed a threat to me.“You’

Camila’s POVI was still holding Javier very tightly, still terrified that another threat might harm us. Slowly, Javier tried to break free from my embrace, but I was still reluctant to let him go.Even though he’d already told me we were safe in this room. But I was still truly terrified.This was the first time I’d seen someone shot dead right before my very eyes. It felt like a person’s life meant absolutely nothing.How could something this horrific happen? But if that man hadn’t been shot from behind, Javier—or even I—would have been the one hit.“We’re safe now, sweetheart. Don’t be afraid anymore, okay?” Javier whispered softly, trying to calm me down.I shook my head slowly, still burying my face in his broad chest. “Who was that man, Javi? Who’s trying to hurt us?”I felt Javier’s gentle hand stroke my back. He exhaled deepl
