Better than a castle

The car entered through the gates into Caleb's compound. The sight of the mansion in the middle of the yard was just so beautiful and breathtaking. It made Camile gasp. It was a clean yard with concreted marble floor, the building so tall. The house was painted in white and that made it looked so beautiful like it was built for an angel. The yard stretched far on either side of the house, maybe it had a patio or garden. She was feeling very excited that she'd be staying here in this beautiful house for the next couple of days.*oh this is going to be great*. When she saw Elena at the park she had guessed her parents were rich because she had the look of a rich kid and she looked so well and composed with her hair down on her shoulders but now she didn't think her assumption was correct, she was wrong so wrong her father had to be super, filthy, madly and devilishly rich. This house is more beautiful than some castles she had seen in Disney princesses movies and cartoons. Wow she loved the place.

Caleb saw Camile looking in awe at the house, he didn't expect any less, anybody who enters this compound and sees the house would have their breath taking away by it's beauty. He also feels like that any time he drives into the compound, this house housed almost all of his beautiful moments with her it reminds him of just how beautiful she had been, everything about and around her was just as beautiful until that day.

Camile thought she had seen is all when she saw the house but when she entered it she felt even more amazed, the interior of the house was much more beautiful than the exterior. Of course it was painted in white but it had touches of blue, grey and gold here and there and it made it look magnificent. There were lots of paintings hanging on the walls, beautiful paintings, some of forest trees, beaches and a lot more beautiful paintings. There was also a painting of a baby and another painting of a man. The baby should be Elena as it had blonde hair and the man in the other painting was Caleb. Wow whoever painted this was a professional.

"I'll take you to your room, where you'd be staying while you're here.

"Alright, but you'll give me a tour of the house tomorrow right?" Because Camile was yet to return Simon and Lisa's calls and she had to do it before the end of the day, she agreed to go to her room easily else she would have argued that.

They went up the stairs with Camile leaping as she refused to use the wheel chair she said she doesn't like the idea of sitting down while someone else push her around. So when they eventually got to the room she was out of breath. Camile sat down on the bed immediately she entered the room.

"Uhm Caleb can you please get someone that can help me in the bathroom? I don't think I'll do well on my own."

"Ok let me see what I can do" he said "I'll ask the butler to get your bag from the car. And that reminds me do you have clothes you can change into?" oh no she hadn't thought of that, because she thought she would go back home today she didn't bring any clothes. She only came with her documents. "I hadn't thought of that" she replied

"Ok I'll see what I can do about that" Caleb said and left

After Caleb left Camile lay on her back for a while as she thought about everything that had happened today and about her mother and sister, she hoped they would be okay and that her mother would not think too much. She can't say she was happy about leaving them like this and not telling them the truth but she didn't want her mother to start worrying about her she would be fine on her own but she'll tell her everything when she sees her so her mom can be assured that nothing went wrong and she was not hurt. Well till she sees them no telling them of what really happened but she's going to tell Lisa as she not a worrywart like her mother and somebody ought to know where she really is, with that thought she dialled Lisa's number

"Hello Cam, what's up with you? you had your poor mother worried as hell?"

"Oh I see, you weren't worried about me"

"Of course I was when you didn't take my call the third time but I figured you may not be available cause you'd never miss my call three times without a message from you so I was not as worried as were your mom and sister and Simon but I was worried alright."

"Oh you spoke to him too?"

"Of course he called to know if I heard from you and he didn't want to believe me when I told him I didn't, I'm sure he was thinking that you were up to something and I was in on it"

"Oh ok I'll call him after you"

"So tell me what happened. You didn't get the job and had to start working immediately, did you?"

"Na that's not what happened and you won't believe what happened to me either."

"What! Really, tell me what it is, I'm already so excited to hear it."

"Well I went for the interview and I was told that in order to secure the interview I needed to first pay $900,000."

"What? Really, they said that?"

"Yeah that's what I was told. So I left I couldn't just give almost a million just for an interview you know, although their pay in six months would have solved it, I don't have six months."

"Well, what about the other two side jobs?" Lisa asked. Camile laughed because she knew why she called it side jobs, it's because her mother and sister were not aware of the other two. "When I went for the second interview, the manager wanted to have me as the interview and when I refused he said no sex, no job, can you imagine that ugly hyena. I wanted to punch him so badly but if I did that I would have been late for the next interview cause I know that once I started punching him, I wouldn't stop until he lost consciousness but I promise to go give him that punch when I have time. But yet when I went for the interview it was a woman as the manager so I got excited and thought I might have a chance this time you know girl code, but guess what, she said I am too beautiful for my benefit and that I have the looks of employees who seduced their bosses so I would not be given the job. I was so pissed I wanted to give her the beating of her life but she is a woman, but no worries I would find a way to get back at her."

"What, those people really do deserve severe beatings, the nerve of them to treat you like that. When you go to give them each a punch I'll tag along and give them a punch myself for treating you like they did. Oh baby I'm so sorry you didn't get the job, I pray you get a better one soon, don't worry ok everything will be fine soon ok." Lisa reassured her friend.

"I pray so too, as soon as possible." Camile said

"Yeah, so tell me what happened next cause I'm sure the coming part of your story is where it gets all interesting and it is why you didn't take all our calls."

"I thought you wouldn't ask. Well after all the ordeal with the interviewers I decided to clear my head before leaving, so I went to a park near the last company and sat down on a bench, I was thinking about what my next step would be when a little beautiful girl walked past me and sat on the same bench, after a while she was crying, when I asked why she was crying I she she opened her arms that I give her a hug" Camile started to tell Lisa what happened while Lisa listened with interest and chipped in with questions and squeals where possible or where she thought it was needed.

"So you mean to tell me that you are currently with this hot devil with amazing looks in his house that's better than Elsa's frozen castle?"

"Don't exaggerate things ok."

"Girl you've made it big this time."

"Oh stop that, I haven't made anything big. But he is handsome and nice and seems like a gentle man too but he's still a devil. I just hope I'll be able to find a way out and sort myself, but whatever happens and I wouldn't be able to achieve it this year, there's always next year. But I'd be very happy if I could have done it this year, it's been delayed by three years now. I don't want Mom to keep thinking about all those things again you know."

"Don't worry Cam everything will fall in place ok. If worst comes to worst we'll just go Rob the bank, cause you'll establish it this year ok."

"Yes Lisa, but no robbing the bank alright?"

"Ok but I promise to do all I can to help and support you cause you are my love and you know I love you."

"I know you do and I love you too. I need a shower and I still have to call Simon so let's talk tomorrow ok."

"Ok angel bye have a good night, take care of yourself and say hi to the hot devil ok. And most importantly enjoy your stay there."

"Whatever" Camile say with an eye roll and a smile "bye love" she said then hung up and dialled Simon's number which he answered almost immediately

"hello Cam, is that you, are you okay

" yes it me and I'm fine."
