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
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 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
Camilla's POVI hurried after my dad angrily. We just got humiliated in front of everyone in there because of his persistence and stubbornness. "Dad," I called out to him. The security guards had thrown him out of the door before closing the door and guarding it. All our employees watched us leaving the company premises curiously. I've never been this humiliated."Dad!" I yelled when he was about to get into his car. I wasn't going to overlook it this time around."What was the meaning of what you just did in there?" I asked angrily stepping in front of him."What was wrong with what? I was trying to get the company which you sold out back!" he screamed at me.I ran my hand through my hair out of frustration. Why can't he just understand? "A company which was on the verge of bankruptcy. I saved us. This car you drove over here, the house, your hospital bills. We were able to afford all that because I took the decision you were too sensitive to take. We would have been out in the stre
Nathan's POVI lay on my bed, scrolling through my phone, just having finished a call with my girlfriend, Camila. I already missed her. As I scrolled through the pictures on my old, worn-out phone, I saw that they were all of her or the two of us together. A proud smile spread across my face when I came across a picture of her smiling. With her long, curly blonde hair, bright ocean blue eyes, plump red lips, and perfectly shaped, shining white teeth, she embodied perfection, the dream girl of every guy in college.Camila was not only rich and intelligent but also beautiful, quirky, and determined. I was taken aback when she agreed to go out with me. I had admired her from a distance on campus for a while, nurturing a huge crush on her for months. I had wanted to confess my feelings so I could move on from the fantasy I was living in. With courage, I expressed my emotions, expecting her to laugh in my face. I believed she was one of those pompous, spoiled, rich girls who would never gi
Nathan's POVToday is a special day - it's the third anniversary since Camila and I have been together. Despite the passing of time, our love remains as strong and beautiful as on the day we first met. I've prepared a surprise for her - I've worked three part-time jobs to afford a special gift that I know she'll love. I can't wait to see her reaction and celebrate our love on this special day.Firstly, I was going to get her a gift, and I reserved a table at a popular and expensive restaurant. I knew I was making a huge dent in my wallet with all these expenses, but Camila deserves everything I'm doing for her and more. I had even written her a note to thank her for all her love and support and for standing by me through thick and thin. I had rehearsed every word, and when I was sure it was perfect, I walked into my bathroom and had my bath.I happily got dressed in neatly ironed dark blue jeans trousers and a white t-shirt. I put on my affordable cologne. I wanted to smell very nice
Nathan's POVThe sound of the chocolate box and flowers startled them, interrupting their activities. Camila appeared surprised, standing up from the man's lap and casually running her fingers through her disheveled hair."Baby, who is this man, and why did he enter your house like this?" the man asked, glaring at me with disdain."He's nobody. Wait for me in the living room," she replied. I stared at her in disbelief. Did she just call me a nobody?He rose from the bed and gave her a quick kiss before leaving. He purposely bumped into me, causing me to stumble, as if I had lost myself completely."What are you doing here? Why did you come to my house without informing me?" she questioned, furrowing her brow. I approached her slowly."Is that all you have to say? I just witnessed you in bed with another man, and that's your only response? Camila, how could you cheat on me on our anniversary?" I asked, my voice filled with pain and brokenness. She snickered."Correction, you are the ot
