Camille POV
After Remi left me all alone, I roamed around admiring every artwork exhibited. I wish I had bought Alina with me but it's was based on an invitation and coming to an Art Gallery as big as AX requires a lot of money which Alina and I don't have.
When I was done looking around, I Went back to my paintings but then I saw a man staring at them. The man must be a fan of wolves or something for him to stare at my paintings for so long.
"Who painted this wolf?" He asked the lady beside him and I recognized her as the rude lady from the entrance of the gallery.
"They must be a couple," I thought as I watched both of them.
"I have no idea, sir. Remi and Isabella picked the artist. Is there a problem sir?" The lady asked yet again.
If she is using Sir then it means they were not a couple but the man was her boss or one of the rich snobs that had come to see the Arts exhibited in the Gallery.
<Axel POV"She is your mate isn't she?" Penelope questioned as she walked into my office. "I saw how you were staring at the painting. That Nal, your Lycan right?""Why did you allow mate to go?" Nal also nagged me.I heaved a sigh and inhaled deeply. I was happy to see her again after five hundred years but she was different and her attitudes were similar to Kourtney's. I didn't want her to go, I wished I could hold her in my arms again but I couldn't because she was a human. In her past life, Kourtney was a werewolf that died because of my sins."You have to reject her Axel if you want her to live."She was right. I have to reject her if not, the curse will fall on her and she will die just like Kourtney. "Find out where she lives," I ordered."You don't have to get involved with her Axel. It's will only bring memories of Kourtney." Penelope came to my side and placed her hand on my back. "I'll do whatever you want m
Camille POVThere was nothing else to explain because the cops refused to believe that I harmed Axel. Two of them interrogated me as if I was a hardened criminal and they refused to remove the cuff in my hand thinking I would hurt somebody else."Listen," I took a deep breath as I explained myself to them. "I didn't harm him. I saw him getting attacked in the elevator and I rushed to save him." I told them for the umpteenth time."You mean you have other accomplices?" The first cop, a man with a big scar on his forehead and crooked teeth that made his breath stinks questioned. "How dare you lie?" He slammed his hand on the table causing my chest to rise in fright."I am not lying," I held my chest and heaved a sigh of relief when I realized he wasn't planning on hitting me. "I mean it when I say that I have no hand In Axel's case.""You dare to call him Axel!" The other cop shouted at me. He stood up and I chuckled silently becaus
Camille's POVWhy would anyone believe me? They've asked me the same question over again and I gave them the same answer. "I don't know anything about it!""You won't be saying that because Miss Penelope is here and she has Evidence that would make you rot in jail for life." The crooked teeth Cop grinned at me giving me the creeps. Just as he had said, Penelope walked into the investigation and sat beside the cop."Tell them everything you've said is a lie. I didn't do anything to Mr. Banks!"Penelope scoffed and dropped her brown Louis Vuitton bag on the table. To me, it seemed like a total show-off. "You know I didn't attack Axel, why aren't you saying anything about it.""Your obsession must have grown bigger for you to address him by his name," Penelope folded her arms together and smiled at me. "You almost murder my boss and even when evidence is being provided, you keep denying It. Are you that hungry for money?"
Camille POVIt's been a week since the incident and I couldn't stop thinking about it. The press spent days on my doorsteps asking questions about my relationship with Axel. Because of that, I spent the whole week on the bed not stepping out of it because I was ashamed of myself. Even after all I had gone through, I still thought of Axel. Every time I closed my eyes, he was all I could see and I hoped he could appear to me.If only it could happen.Alina did everything to get me out of the bed but I was adamant and I refused to step out of my room."Are you going to remain on your bed without coming out of your room?" Alina knocked on my room's door but he got no reply but being the crazy one, she continued knocking. "I am not leaving this room until you get your butt out of that bed. Are you going to keep sulking because of what happened?" She asked. ”Axel Banks has already informed everyone that you were innocent. How long will you keep acti
Camille's POV"You should call him back," Alina threw my phone on the couch and stood at akimbo urging me to stand up from the couch where I lay watching my favorite TV show. It's been two days since Axel called to apologize for what happened and ever since then he hasn't bothered calling back."Why should I call him?" I asked and blew a strand of my hair from my face. "He should call me and apologize over and over again for everything that had happened. "Alina palmed her forehead. "Listen to yourself Camille," she shouted. "You told him to stop calling you!""And I didn't expect him to stop!" I yelled back and stood up from the couch. I paced around our living room thinking about the possibilities that Axel could call me back.Was I hoping too much because I was attracted to him or because I thought I was important too? "Argh," I groaned out in frustration and kicked the center glass table in our living room. "He should have cal
Camille POV"This is Camille," I whispered to myself as I walked into AX gallery that morning. After contemplating whether I should take the offer or not, I concluded. I was going to take the job offer for the sake of the orphanage and for my parent who abandoned me there."Hello," I greeted the receptionist, a white woman who looked like she was in her fifties. The freckles on her face were visible and her grey hair was brushed to the back giving her an older look."What do you want?" Her tone was cold and when she adjusted her glasses, it's made me shiver."I have an appointment with Axel," I informed her."Axel? You don't even have respect for our boss!" She shouted and I flinched."Miss," I stared at her name tag. "Miss Emily. I am here to see Axel Banks.""You have an appointment with him?" She asked and I nodded in response.Was she deaf when I talked about an appointment with her? "I already
Camille POVI woke up to a splitting headache. My body felt numb but I struggled to raise my hand and it's worked. "Alina," I mumbled and I held the pillow as if my life depended on it. "Alina," I mumbled again.I sniffed the air and the amazing smell of Jasmine infiltrated my nostrils. I remembered that Alina and I never had that smell in our home.Where was I? I thought and tossed it on the bed. My hand hit another pillow. I remembered only having one pillow.When did I get a second pillow? I thought."You must be having a nice sleep but I know you are awake Camille," That's the voice... Husky but cool.My eyes fluttered open and I screamed out loud when I saw Axel's handsome face staring back at me."Oh my God!" I yelled and turned to the other side. I landed on the ground and hit my hand on the lampstand. "Ouch!" I groaned out in pain."Easy there," Axel rushed to my side and helped
Camille POV" Hell no Camille, you can go to work dressed like that!" Alina yelled at me and yanked the blue gown I held in my hand. it was a bodycon dress I bought when I graduated from Art School. it was the perfect dress I could think of for my first day at an AX gallery but Alina was against the idea." you don't look professional enough in that dress. you need to look like you have come to work!" she shouted at me." What is wrong with the blue dress?" I asked." Everything is wrong about the dress. It looks like you are going to a disco party."she lied. The dress doesn't look like a disco outfit. it was a short bodycon dress that reached below my knees. it was a lovely dress that could be worn to an office but my annoying roommate was against the idea." that's a lie," I argued but she shushed me and rummaged My Closet." This is a perfect outfit," Alina dropped a long
