CAMILA

Upon hearing my voice, the man gets to his feet and turns in my direction. I open my mouth to speak once again but freeze, the words dying in my throat when I see his face.

He has the most expressive, bright blue eyes I’ve ever seen. His jawline is a perfect definition of “Adonis” and those lips. God, those lips. They’re full and plump like the men in my Spanish telenovelas.

Despite his worn outfit, this man looks like he just stepped off the glossy pages of some famous American magazine and for some reason, he looks really familiar.

The way he stares at me makes my heart beat faster and my cheeks flush with awareness. No man has ever made me feel this way before. No man has ever had my heart burning with just a stare.

His eyes rove over my body like hot licks of liquid fire and for the first time in my life, I am not creeped out by a man’s stare. Let’s just say I’m intrigued and leave it at that.

“You never answered my question.” I snap, trying to gain control over my disto

    Alex squared his shoulders and took a deep breath in preparation as Tariq knocked on the double glass doors of the lounge.“Come on in.” A female voice called from inside. He turned to Alex. “It’s time.”Alex nodded and together, they walked into the spacious, luxuriously decorated lounge. There were two women in the room and both their eyes were firmly fixed on him as he came to a stop beside Tariq. The first woman has midnight black hair like Camila, while the second one had blonde hair which he instantly knew was either fake or dyed. “Hello, Maria.” Tariq stepped aside, to give them a better view of Alex. “This is David Wyatt. He’s the kid I was telling you about. Your new cleaner from New York City.”Tariq turned to him.“David, this is Mrs. Maria, your new boss.” He pointed at the fake-haired lady. “And this is Mrs. Millicent Fernandez. She’s a cousin of the family.”Anger burned in Alex’s throat as he took a good look at the woman who perpetrated the death and torture of his

    Alex stood silently, surprised at the tension he could feel rolling off Miguel in waves. What was the guy’s deal? Really. “Why don’t I show you to the servant’s quarters?” He said, lifting his nose in the air like Alex was beneath him.Tariq stepped in.“Uh, Miguel, David will not be staying at the servant’s quarters.”Miguel froze. Uh-oh. Alex had a really bad feeling about this. Miguel’s eyes were literally spitting flames when he turned.“Excuse me, sir? All the servants stay at the servant’s quarters. Why is he an exception?”Mr. Tariq took a deep breath and stiffened his shoulders. The air suddenly seemed to shift, becoming colder. “I don’t know Miguel but for some reason, I’ve noticed that you’re quite saucy and disrespectful today.”Shocked, Miguel’s eyes widened. “Sir…”Tariq lifted a hand, effectively cutting him off. “I never said I was done.” He said in an authoritative tone. “Do not interrupt me.”Miguel lowered his gaze. “Sorry, sir.”“I think you’ve forgotten that

    Alex walked to the garden with unhurried steps, his heart beating wildly for reasons he could not quite understand. When he arrived, he paused and looked over the impressive display of flowers and maze of exotic plants. In the distance, he could sight a water fountain which was sculpted in the shape of Zeus with water spouting off his fingers. It was beautiful.After scanning the area for a few minutes with no sign of Miguel or Camila, Alex had to turn to the nearby guard for help. “Hey, man. Have you seen Miguel? The head housekeeper.”The uniformed guard nodded and pointed towards the statue of Zeus. “He’s by the fountain with Miss Camila. I saw both of them a few minutes ago.”Alex nodded. “Thanks, man. I appreciate it.”He stalked towards the fountain, wondering what Miguel and Camila were doing all alone at the innermost part of the garden.As he approached, voices filtered in his direction, both male and female voices. Alex tiptoed further, wondering what they were talking

    “What the hell are you going here?” The guard from earlier asked, his face set in harsh, straight lines. “Are you a spy? Is that it?”Alex shook his head.“No, no. I’m not a spy.” He said quickly. “I’m the new head cleaner. Miguel is supposed to assign my duties so I came looking for him.”“I understand that but why are you peeping from the bushes?”“I just…”The guard looked over the hedge of plants and Alex fully expected him to explode at the sight of Miguel and Camila hugging like they knew each other intimately. Instead, he stepped back, folded his arms like nothing happened and asked;“Why didn’t you just draw his attention?”Alex was shocked at his reaction. He opened his mouth to ask a few choice questions when the guard cut in;“Miguel doubles as head housekeeper and Miss Camila’s therapist. Sometimes she breaks down during the sessions. That’s all. I know the sight can be misleading but that’s all there is to it.”Alex paused for a moment, mulling over his words.“Therapist

    Camila shot him a look over her shoulder.“What do you mean? I just need you to zip me up. That’s all. I’m not asking for anything else.”Alex took a deep breath to control his raging nerves and stepped back.“I’m sorry. I don’t want to disobey your orders but doing this was never in my job description. I cannot do this, Miss. I apologize.”Camila turned to him and opened her mouth to speak but a deep voice interrupted her from down the hall.“Camila, what are you doing here?”She turned and Alex watched her eyes brighten as the stranger approached. He’d wanted to go back inside but instead, he leaned against the door and waited to see the man who was capable of making Camila smile.“Ethan! Oh, thank God. Can you help me with my zipper? I’m running late.”“Sure, Unicorn. What are you doing here? I’ve been looking for you.”Alex’s chest constricted painfully when he heard that nickname. He even had the right to call her by a nickname? Who was this guy and what was their relationship?

    Alex was not surprised. It was very clear from their body language that the cleaners hated him. “But why? I mean, we just got introduced. I know I’ve definitely not troubled anyone since I came here. Why the hate?”Amanda looked away, her chin quivering with indecision.“Uh, sir…”“Just tell me. I promise I won’t tell anyone about our conversation.”She nodded and took a deep breath.“Do you remember the guy you reprimanded earlier?”“Diego?”“Yes. Diego Sanchez.”“What about him?”Amanda twisted her fingers over and over.“Well, let’s just say the cleaners are not particularly happy that Mrs. Maria appointed an outsider to head the unit. They all feel that Diego was more deserving of the position since he’s been here the longest.They think that Diego was cheated and you’ve been given a position that belonged to someone else.”Alex shut his eyes for three seconds and took deep, calming breaths.He could already see the disaster that a situation of this nature might pose. “Well, tr

    The atmosphere in the room was stiff and tense as Mrs. Maria spoke. Even Alex could not control the sweat that broke through his pores. It was a miracle that he was able to look unbothered.“Yes, detective. His name is David Wyatt. He was recently employed as my head cleaner and has been working here for a short period but I have reasons to suspect that he isn’t what he says he is.” A beat passed.“Of course. I’ll have my PA send you all the details shortly. Thank you very much.” She ended the call without saying anything more. “There. Are you satisfied, Miguel?” Miguel tried to act all humble but he could not hide the subtle happiness in his eyes. Alex knew the bastard was eager to see him leave. Not in this life.“Partly, ma’am. I’ll be even more satisfied when the detective tells us the result of his investigation.”Mrs. Maria nodded, but her expression was still hard and stoic.She turned her attention to Alex.“I really hope you haven’t lied to me, David. I hope you’re who you

    Every single person in the room froze, eyes wide with shock. The tension was so thick, so palpable that it could be sliced through with a knife.Alex’s heart was already pounding overtime as he stared at the shattered pieces of ceramics at his feet. He could barely speak. He couldn’t even make a single sound.Diego, on the other hand, looked like he’d seen a ghost. His face was as white as a sheet. This was bad. This was very bad.What Alex was not expecting was for Diego to start screaming like someone whose precious cat just died.“David, look what you’ve done! Madam will definitely have your head for this.”Alex was shocked. He stared at Diego for a moment, trying to assimilate what he’d just heard. “Excuse me?”Diego did not wait for him to recover. He had to act wisely otherwise, he’ll be in big trouble.“Stop trying to pretend like you don’t know what you did!” He snapped. “You’ve destroyed Mrs. Maria’s statue. This statue cost two hundred million dollars!”Alex was beginning

    SIX MONTHS LATER:“Do you, Alexander Stephan, take Camilla to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health until death do you part?”Alex’s heart was filled with happiness as he replied confidently;“Yes, I do.”The priest turned to Camila and asked her the same question. She nodded eagerly as she responded;“Yes. Yes, I do.”“I now declare you man and wife. You may kiss your bride.”Camilla was glowing with happiness as Alex wrapped his arms around her waist and drew her in for a soft, slow kiss while the audience cheered them on.When he finally drew backwards, he placed his forehead against hers and whispered;“I’m so happy that I finally get to marry the love of my life.”She nodded, her eyes brimming with happy tears. “Let’s be together forever.”“Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Stephan!!” The priest announced.The screams and cheers got louder as the priest raised both their hands to the crowd.

    The moment Blakely left the conference centre, Camilla watched in confusion as Alex started making a series of calls.“Yes, she just left. Get the security detail ready. I hope our bodyguards at the mansion are already on stand-by. Get someone to follow her. We’ll give her thirty minutes max before the operation begins…”When he finally ended all his calls and turned to her, Camilla was way beyond confused. “What’s going on, Alex? You sound like you’re preparing for war.”“More like preparing to catch a snake.” He replied as he lifted her hand and placed a kiss on her knuckles.Camilla frowned. “Snake? What snake?”Alex smiled. “Listen carefully. It’s about Blakely…”***Exactly thirty minutes later, Alex received a call from Peter, his chief-of-security.“Sir, they’re about to resume their operations. Should we strike?”“No. Wait for me. I’ll be there in five minutes.”“Akex, let me come with you.” Camilla begged for the umpteenth time. Alex leaned forward and pressed a kiss aga

    ONE YEAR LATER…So far, Alex had completely frustrated every single one of Blakely’s plan to get him to sign any documents. He read every single document that was brought to him thoroughly before he signed them. He’d also tripled and quadrupled his security, equipping them with modern weapons to enable them to face any kind of threats.There was simply zero space for Blakely and her boyfriend to carry out their devious plans and today, he was finally ready to expose her for who she really was. Alex had left unfinished business in New York when he travelled to Spain and today was the day he finally wrapped it all up. Today the competition between Hunters Technology and Alexander Group was finally coming to an end. Exactly eight months ago, Romanov, one of the members of the Las Vegas Conglomerate had brought a competition to his doorstep. Several companies in New York City were to compete against the Xanders Group of Companies, now known as the Alexander Group of companies. The

    After making sure that the Guerreros’ vacated all the properties that belonged to him, it was finally time for Alex to depart for Spain.Camila still refused to see him and despite his insistence, she claimed that she never wanted to see him again. Despite the fact that he’d achieved his goals, his shoulders hung with disappointment and his eyes were downcast as he boarded the private jet that would take him to New York… away from Camila.Ten minutes later, while he was waiting for take off, his phone rang. A quick glance at the caller ID revealed that it was Tony. His detective. “Hello, Tony.”“Hello, sir. I hear you’ll be returning today.”Alex frowned. Only few people knew that information because he wanted to keep his return as under the radar as possible. Few people being him and Tariq.“How did you know that?”“I’m a private Investigstor, sir. How else would I know?”“Have you been watching me?”“For your own safety, yes.”Alex sat up immediately. His interest was piqued.“Wha

    Tariq’s words settled around the room like dust on a dark, gloomy night.No one said anything for the next few seconds. The room was as quiet as a graveyard… until Mendez broke the silence.“What’s your evidence that you’re really Alexander’s son? You could just be a scam trying to get money from us.”Tariq tried to argue but Alex hurriedly cut in;“There’s no need to enagage them in a fruitless argument when we can just show them prove.”He lifted a finger and one of his guards, Peter, came forward with a briefcase. He retrieved a few papers from the briefcase and handed them to Alex who in turn gave the papers to Mendez.“In case you’re wondering, that’s the DNA test result. It was conducted by Alexander himself before he passed as evidence that I’m really his biological grandson. If you check the date, that test was conducted almost twenty four years ago. Do you believe me now?”Mendez ran his eyes through the papers, his heartbeat tripling with shock. “It can’t be. It can’t fuck

    Suddenly, the television which hung in the conference room came on, displaying footage from the CCTV cameras outside. Everyone turned in its direction and watched in surprise as several tinted, bullet proof cars drove into the premises.“Mr. Alvaro, those cars do not belong to you, do they?”Hugo shook his head. “They don’t. All the cars we came with are already safely parked in the garage. I don’t know who these people are.”Mendez swung into action immediately. He picked up his phone and called the security personnel downstairs.“Seal the building. Nobody comes in and no one goes out. It appears that we have a new set of visitors and I have no idea who they are.”When he was done with the phone call, Mendez put down his phone and forced a smile.“I’m sure everything is perfectly fine. Maybe they missed their way.” He turned to Camila.“Weren’t you about to sign the documents? What are you waiting for?”Camila picked up the pen but once again, they were interrupted by the sounds of

    After waiting for another fifteen and staring at the door longingly, Camila finally accepted the fact that Alex just wasn’t going to show up. He’d abandoned her. Her heart was breaking into pieces deep within her chest but she’d already vowed not to shed another tear for a man.She glanced at her Rolex, her eyes widening in shock when she saw how much time had gone.“Shit! It’s already two minutes to ten o’clock?”All her sorrows forgotten, she hurriedly slipped on the shoes she’d abandoned and made her way towards the conference room.Thankfully, when she finally made it, the Alvaro’s hadn’t arrived yet. Mrs. Maria’s lips curled in a frown when she saw her.“Oh, thank God you’re here. Where were you and what were you doing?”Camila lowered her head.“I’m sorry, aunt.”Mrs. Maria gave her narrow-eyed, suspicious look.“What the heck happened to your make-up? Were you crying?”Alarmed, Camila’s head snapped upwards.“Crying? No, of course not.”“Then why is your makeup looking all sm

    Alex was standing at the balcony of his new apartment when his phone suddenly rang. He fished it out if his pocket and glanced at the caller ID. Tariq.He pressed the phone against his ear. “Tariq.”“Alex.” He sounded upset. “What is this I hear about speeding up the plan?”“Oh. I guess Alejo called you.”“Start explaining yourself, boy.”“Everything he told you is true. I asked him to invite the Guerreros to sign the documents tomorrow. What’s the use of waiting till next week when we could just get everything done this week?”Tariq sighed.“Don’t you think you’re going too fast? What if Maria or Mendez gets suspicious and decide to investigate?”“There will be no such investigations, Tariq. Calm down. In fact, Maria had been requesting that Alejo fix this meeting since two weeks ago. Calling them right now will not be suspicious at all.”Tariq calmed down a notch. “Okay, then.I hope so. What’s the plan?”Alex was alone in his house, but he lowered his voice cautiously like someone

    145 — CAMILA’S CONFESSION

    Alex was speechless. He stared at Camila, momentarily conflicted.“Isn’t this what you wanted?” He asked calmly. “You asked me to stay out of your personal life. You asked me not to pry… and that’s exactly what I’m doing. What’s the problem?”Camila heaved a sigh, leaned back against her seat and shut her eyes for the next few seconds. When she opened them, she looked spent… exhausted.“I miss you.” She whispered. “I miss you so much, David. I really wish I didn’t have to marry Hugo but I have no choice. What should I do? Help me.”More tears slithered down her smooth cheeks and Alex’s self control nearly snapped. He dropped his cleaning supplies and came closer, pausing just beside her table.“If you need my help, you’re gonna have to tell me what’s going on. Everything.”She blinked at him. “Won’t you hug me first? Won’t you comfort me?”Alex nearly leapt forward and wrapped her in his arms but he physically forced himself to stay put.“The fact that I’ve decided to help you doesn’t
