Nathan’s Revenge 12
Camilla's POVI was startled by how cold and harsh his tone sounded. The wind tousled his hair giving him a fierce look. It was hard to believe he was the same Nathan I used to know. How could a person change this much? "Didn't you hear me?" he asked snapping me from my thoughts. I cleared my throat. "I was uhm...getting some fresh air," I replied. "Why are you getting air at my company? Is your company and mansion too small for that?" he asked. I fought the urge to roll my eyes."I came back here to pick up my phone. I left it at your office earlier. Your secretary wouldn't let me in because you were away which was why I came up here," I explained to him which was the truth. I was in a hurry to leave his office earlier that I completely forgot about my purse which had my phone in it. He stared at me for a while before turning around abruptly. "Why are you still standing there?" he asked without stopping. "Right. My phone," I muttered hurrying after him. We got into the elevator

Nathan's POVEveryone else had left for their various homes as soon as it was the usual time but I stayed in my office working till it was very late. I glanced at my wrist watch and it was almost 10 pm. I rubbed my tired eyes with a sigh. I switched off my computer and grabbed my jacket and briefcase before heading out. I was walking towards the parking lot when my phone suddenly rang. I picked it up after glancing at the caller ID."Brother," the person at the other end of the phone called out in a happy tone."You sound excited. What's the occasion?" I inquired getting into my car."Can't I be excited speaking to my brother? I'm just so happy to be hearing your voice," he replied."I doubt that," I muttered."You sound grumpy and tired. Are you still at the company?" he asked."I already left. I'm heading home," I responded. "That's great. Come over to our usual bar. I'm there right now," he urged."I'm tired. I'm going home to rest," I replied."Come on man, it's just one drink. I

Camilla's POV"Somebody call an ambulance! Please! Anyone!" a voice kept screaming uncontrollably. Was it me? I had no idea. The voice sounded muffled to my ears. I didn't know how much time had passed but some people suddenly came in and placed my dad on a stretcher rushing him outside. I got up from the floor and immediately followed them. "Where do you think you are going?" a cold voice asked halting me in my steps. I wiped the tears that were streaming down my face before turning around. I pointed towards the door."Didn't you see that?" I inquired."See what exactly?" he asked getting up from his chair. I stared at him in disbelief."Are you serious right now? My dad just passed out right in front of you. It might be a heart attack. His life could be in danger," I replied in a trembling voice."How does that relate to me? It's all your fault. You were the one who didn't tell him about the merger. He passed out due to the shock of finding out his lovely daughter was hiding the tr

Camilla's POVI couldn't sleep a wink last night. I kept tossing and turning in my bed thinking of all that had happened the previous day. I lay on my bed, eyes wide open without moving an inch. The loud ringing of my alarm clock brought me back to my senses. I sighed and got up from my bed. The day hadn't started yet I was already feeling tired. I turned off the alarm clock and started my usual routine for the morning. I did a couple of stretches to get rid of my fatigue, took a warm bath, and got dressed in a navy blue fitted suit. Nathan had made it clear that I had to be present at the office today. Dad didn't want me to take care of him at the hospital so I might as well make good use of my time.I drank my coffee and headed out after dropping the keys for the housekeeper. I didn't have enough time to clean my apartment so I hired someone to do it. I rushed out of the building and flagged down a cab. I had a car but I didn't know how to drive. My driver was also on leave to see h
Nathan’s Revenge 16
Nathan's POVI saw the shock on Camilla's face as soon as she walked through the door. Amelie tried to pull away when she heard the door open but I held onto her. I was just about to pull away from her when Camilla walked in. My hand slowly moved towards her waist pulling her closer. "What are you doing?" Amelie asked in surprise. She should be. This was unlike me. Camilla's lips parted in surprise before she hurriedly looked away. She glanced at everything in the office except for us. "I just missed your company," I lied with a smile. It wasn't a complete lie, I was glad she was here even though it was unexpected. I was unsure about it before but it was certain Camilla was jealous of seeing me with Amelie. I chuckled. Who would have thought? "Really? You should have called me. But you had to wait for me to come to you," she replied."Uhmm..," Camilla cleared her throat loudly. She turned towards us but when she saw me still holding onto Amelie's waist, she looked away again."I br
Nathan’s Revenge 17
Camilla's POVThe hardcover of the file hit my arm and I winced from the pain. He looked into his computer completely ignoring my presence. I bent down and picked up the files as fast as I could before bolting out of his office. I sat on my chair and stared at the files in front of me in confusion. I followed all of his instructions. I was sure I didn't miss anything. Why did he get angry in that way? My mind drifted from his reaction to what I had seen in his office. The way his arm was wrapped around Amelie's waist protectively. It was obvious something was going on between them. He had a smile on his face while she wrapped her arms around his neck fondly. They looked quite cozy in each other's arms. I shook my head to get rid of those thoughts."Focus on work Camilla. Stop thinking about useless things," I muttered to myself. I wore my glasses and looked into the files but everything looked perfect to me. I didn't know where I was supposed to start from. I sighed and began typing o

Camilla's POV"Revenge?" he inquired with a raised brow. I gulped, his scent wafting through my nostrils. I tried to avoid his gaze as much as I could but his proximity was making things harder."The printer," I muttered trying to pick it up."I'm asking you a question. You don't ignore me when I'm talking to you," he declared."I know we haven't discussed about what happened in the past. We can't keep working together in such a tense environment without talking things through," I replied."Talk about what exactly?" he asked again. He knew what I was talking but if he was going to pretend like he didn't, it was fine. I can remind him. I've done worse things than that."The things I did and said to you in the past. This is your way of taking revenge on me and my family right?" I asked. I wasn't dumb. I knew he didn't treat other employees this way."What did you do to me?" he inquired. I sighed. He was enjoying this."Torturing me isn't going to help both of us. If there's anything fro
Nathan’s Revenge 19
Nathan's POVI watched as she stood in the middle of the room looking utterly humiliated. That was what I wanted. To destroy her dignity and her pride. And when she was finally broken, shattered just the way she left me years ago, my revenge would be complete."I can handle the meeting on my own. I don't need the presence of a secretary. You may leave," I deadpanned. Without glancing at anyone, she hurried out of the room. "We deeply apologize for everything sir. We thought Robert was going to say his last goodbyes. We had no idea he would try to turn us against you," the man I recognized as Mr. Peters pleaded. I had studied their portfolio and I knew every single person sitting in this boardroom down to their families. I wasn't new to the fake apologies since I took over my father's company. I bet he was only doing this to keep his job and his salary. If I was the same poor Nathan that they used to know, they wouldn't have hesitated to throw me out like a pauper. But I wasn't concer
