With a shaky voice she asked “Did you just lie to me? Did you just lock me inside this car?” Camila became furious and before he had time to think she had slapped him so hard on the face. Her hands left a red prints on his cheeks. She was clumsy and anxious, she didn’t know how her father will take the news she had for him yet Samuel wouldn’t stop pestering her. “How dare you slap me?” He glared at her with blood shot eyes and for a moment Camila wished she could just disappear but then again he had made sure to lock the door.She started to open the door hurriedly but it wouldn’t bulge.“Wrong move Camila, learn to think first before acting. Actually I honestly had something I needed to deliver to you urgently. But now you have just given me an idea and I am going to punish you for slapping me.”Before she could think further, he grabbed her and made her sit on his lap. He held her face and she had no option but to look in to his angry blue eyes. Gosh…even at that state he was stil
After Samuel left, she came back and found Luke still dumfounded. His face was wearing a strange frown she has never seen in him since the day she was born. But she couldn’t blame him, seeing at what level Bella was willing to go to humiliate her.“You took too long, Camila” her father said immediately.“I needed to clear my mind and I might have taken too much time just walking around”Luke guessed it right, when she was young she used to like to stroll around. He could never forget how those moments were beautiful. The three of them laughing happily around the streets as he held her hands affectionately.“Alright can you continue telling me what you were about to tell me?” he asked.“Dad, I offered myself as a surrogate for a mysterious billionaire. I don’t know his name or how he looked like. We agreed that it would be easier if either of us didn’t know the other.”Her father shot her a dark stare. Camila could see how he was trying to control his temper.“Did you just sleep with a
On her way upstairs, she suddenly felt thirsty so she turned towards the kitchen to get herself and Lucky some drinking water.Bella and her mother had been eavesdropping on everything that they were talking about with her father and she felt the hair at the back of her head stand up. Those two knew no boundaries.“So you have two brats” Bella asked and she didn’t answer her.When she heard that statement from Bella, she knew that her most guarded secret was out. But there was nothing she could do about it.“I don’t want trouble with the two of you, I just want to take water and I will be on my way out” she said and continued to walk towards the fridge.“Camila, you shouldn’t have come back. Why are you such a pest? How many times have I tried to get rid of you and then you come back. Can’t you get it in to your head that this house is no longer yours?”Camila knew that they hated her but she could care less about the house and everything else. If her father wishes, he could just go a
As she ascended down the stairs she met her father who was looking at her curiously.“What took you so long Camila?” He asked and was surprised that she was carrying Lucky” are you leaving already?”“Yes Dad, I can’t stay in the same roof with those two, so I better leave before something bad happens” she explained.Her father knew immediately that they just had a fight, no one needed to tell him as he had lived his life in the past watching her daughter being mistreated. He was the worst Dad in the world but from today on wards he will spend his life making up to her for every wrong that was committed against her.“Wait for me, let me bring my jacket so that I can take you back to your house, okay” Luke offered. In a way he wanted to know where they lived so that he could keep an eye on them. His daughter came back and she was never going to let her disappear on him again. Those 5 years were the darkest years of his life and he didn’t want a repeat of the same thing.“Alright “Soon
But she thought that she was only supposed to report to his office at the end of the day. When did it become a routine that every morning he calls her up to his office? She really didn’t want trouble with the rest of the employees.Camila hurriedly stood up and headed to his office under the watchful eyes of jealous colleagues. He gave her no choice, she really didn’t like to be the center of attraction.After knocking on the door and hearing him say “come in”She slowly opened the door and let herself in side.The man brought out an aura of power as he sat on his leather chair. Even though she tried not to look at his gorgeous face, she just couldn’t control her eyes. It was such a shame that they would always betray her. She looked at his perfect jaw line, his hair was neatly combed and not even a single lock was out of place.He seemed collected and professional. Camila didn’t believe that he was the same guy who on more than one occasion has grabbed her and kissed her senselessly.
“ I know this is a special design by one of the most talented designer available. It was designed by Carson, I never met the person behind it but I sure admire her.” The sales person went on and on not realizing that Carson was her and that he had actually met her.Since Camila didn’t want her image to be public, she just kept quiet. She didn’t want Bella and her mother coming for her head so she chose to stay anonymous with her designs.“I like it, okay”She said and the sales person smiled with satisfaction. She didn’t need to try it on. It was exactly her size.She then picked up the office phone and called the president’s office. She couldn’t t believe that this time round she was the one calling but what was she going to tell him. Could she tell him that she appreciated the dress or that she was happy that it was one of her designs?Camila was confused and Samuel could feel her hesitation on the phone“Did you like the surprise I got for you?” He asked without waiting for her to
“Actually I needed you to do me a little favour and I hope you won’t mind. You are the only one that I can trust right now.”“Of course go ahead” Luke was curious to know what Camila wanted from him.“I need you to watch over Lucky for a while. I have a function to attend in the evening. Would you do this for me, Dad? Can I count on you?”“You don’t need to ask. In fact I was very bored today. I am so fed up with the troubles that Bella and her mother always brings on me. It will be of a great distraction to spend some time with that little gorgeous girl, Camila. I will be right over” he said and as suddenly as she called he also hanged up the call. Luke couldn’t wait to get out of the house.“Problem solved” she muttered to herself“Is he coming?” Lucky asked.“Yes honey, probably in the next 30 minutes he will be here. So get ready to have the best night of your life, okay.”“Yeah……yeah….yeah” Lucky said in jubilation.“Remember to behave yourself , don’t give him too much trouble o
Samuel observed at once that Camila was nervous.“Don’t worry, you will be fine” she was startled when she heard him talking on her ears. It seemed like he might have noticed the change in her mood.“Okay” Camila replied and tried her best to give him a reassuring smile even though deep inside she just wished that no one will look down on her.He instructed Camila to hold on to his hands and they both entered inside the building. The hall was huge with so many people already seated. But judging by their appearance they were all people from the high class society. They murmured softly to each other probably gossiping on one of them.There were two seats reserved at the VIP area and Samuel didn’t waste time but to take Camila to the seats. She sighed with a relief after she was seated.Soon she heard the loud voice of the microphone as the MC tried to cheer up the crowd and welcome them to the event.“Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to let you know that our guest of honour and the found
