CHAPTER ELEVEN- HIS BRUISES

CAMILLA'S POVWait.. what?!Baron was holding the side of his stomach which was oozing with blood while two other guards supported him.They took him up to his bedroom and laid him flat on his bed. “Do your best to treat him or something. Just keep him alive. We can't get a hold of any nurses right now.”. The guard said and went out to find a solution.I looked over at Baron who was in so much pain. It was only him and I in the room.Not so tough now aren't you.But why was he in such a state?I hesitated a bit. I stared at the first aid kit that I held in my hand and then my gaze went back to Baron struggling for his dear life as he laid helplessly on his bed. What if I chose to not help him?He had made my life miserable for the past three months and now the only thing standing between him and death was… me.I felt like turning back, leaving his room and leaving him there to die. But why was I walking towards his bed? Setting up the first aid kit and tending to his wounds. I coul

CHAPTER TWELVE- HIS BRUISES (2)

CAMILLA'S POV Baron's condition got better after the doctors properly treated him. But he had to be put on bed rest for a week.He assigned me to take care of him throughout that week and at first I thought it would only lead to arguments and screaming but he was surprisingly calm. Even when I made stupid mistakes. It was … unusual.It almost felt like he was warming up to me or something.Hmph.But that was a silly thought, a stupid one too. It would be nearly impossible for that to happen. He was just sick.On the third day of his bed rest I brought his lunch to his room. I set it on the mini wooden table on his bed and turned to leave.“Dont go yet.”. His voice came up behind me stopping me. It wasn't cold nor was it icy. His voice was warm and calm. Was I dreaming? I mean it had to be a dream, right?I turned to look at him with a confused look plastered all over my face.He gestured towards the chair next to his bed for me to sit. I gulped and walked over nervously, counting m

CHAPTER THIRTEEN: CAMILLA

BARON’S POV“Your condition is improving significantly Mr. Henshaw. I’m amazed at how fast you’re recovering”. My doctor said enthusiastically as he finished checking my vitals for the day.I gave him a slight nod and a faint smile. I did feel a lot better than before, no doubt Camilla’s doing. “That’s good to hear Doctor Barnes.” I replied.“You’d still need some much needed rest though. So maybe take another week off work”. He suggested as he packed his things getting ready to leave.“Is that necessary? I mean I’ve already been away for a whole week already.” I askedI couldn’t stay that long away from work. Especially after the incident that occurred that night.“Mr. Henshaw, it's really not up for debate. You’ve recovered but you still need time away from work. Please consider your health.”. He said worriedlyI sighed and nodded.“Alright Doctor”. I said and he nodded with a small smile.“Alright I’ll be on my way then, a lot of work needs to be done at the hospital today so i

CHAPTER FOURTEEN: AM I DREAMING?

CAMILLA’S POV“Wait he really… apologised?”. Lucy asked in confusion after I narrated me and Baron’s conversation from the previous day.She found it so hard to believe. But could I blame her? It was Baron Henshaw afterall. He was ruthless and unforgiving. So naturally him apologising was a sight to behold. I wasn’t buying it though.“I don’t think he was being sincere”. I said calmly“Why?” Lucy asked“I don’t know. But how does a person go from being a tyrant to begging for forgiveness? It doesn’t add up”.I was still trying to understand the whole situation. It just didn’t make sense.“Maybe he’s being sincere. You did save his life afterall”. She replied as we made our way to the garden.“That’s it! He was vulnerable. I mean anyone in my position could’ve easily harmed him. Maybe he was trying to avoid that.”Lucy looked at me like I was crazy.“That’s a stretch don’t you think Camilla. Look what you need right now is to clear your head and not think about it too much. Else it’ll

CHAPTER FIFTEEN: IT’S NOT A DREAM AFTERALL

CAMILLA'S POV“I just don't know which one to choose. I'm still coming to terms with the fact that all this is real”. I say as I try on another outfit from the numerous ones that Baron had brought for me.“Okay…. This. This is perfect Camilla”. Lucy said as I twirled around in the mirror. It was a simple dress that accentuated my curves. It was just a trip to the supermarket so it made no sense that I would want my outfit to look perfect. And it made less sense because I was going out with Baron. But then again it would be my first time leaving the house in over 4 months, so yeah, of course I wanted to dress up a little.“So are you finally convinced that his intentions are pure?” Lucy asked as she styled my hair up in a bun.I didn’t say anything. I wasn’t really sure what he wanted to do or what he was trying to prove. I knew this charade would soon be over. I wasn’t going to let myself get caught up in it. I didn’t want to be surprised when this “act” wears off.“Hello? Earth to

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: THOUGHTS OF HER

BARON'S POV I watched as she opened the bag and the look of curiosity was quickly replaced with excitement. “This dress…”. She said in disbelief.“I saw you admiring it. I just thought it would make sense to get it for you. Take it as part of my apology gifts.”. I said calmly. The look on her face told me everything I needed to know, she was happy.“I'm so grateful for this. I absolutely love it. Thank you Master Baron”. She said giggling and twirling.I smiled softly as I watched her get all giddy and excited. It was different from her usual stiffness around me. “It's nothing, really. I'll leave you to try on the things.”. I said and turned to leave but then I stopped and turned back to her. “Oh and Camilla”She turned to look at me curiously.“Call me Baron. Master Baron was too formal anyway”. I said calmly with a soft smile“Oh uhm of course… Baron”. She said nervously. What I said had probably caught her off guard.“Enjoy the rest of your day”. I said and left, closing the

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: HER EYES

BARON'S POVI got back to the house still in a bad mood from all that had happened at the warehouse. I was still wondering how smart someone could be to cover all their tracks in little to no time. I had already asked my men to investigate but it still bothered me.As I stepped into the house the air immediately went still. The workers noticed my bad mood and immediately avoided me. They knew better than to cross my path when I was in such a mood. I made my way upstairs to my room and slammed the door hard as I stepped inside. “Argh!”. I let out a loud scream in frustration. I picked a chair and flung it across the room, breaking it instantly.“Who the hell had the guts to cross me!”. I wanted to pretend like it was a small matter but what if it wasn't. What if it was just one of the many big moves they'd make on my empire?“Ugh”. I screamed as I punched the wall repeatedly ignoring the blood dripping down from my knuckles.I eventually stopped and sat on my bed, holding my head w

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: A GIFT FOR CAMILLA

BARON'S POV“Stay away from me!”. I screamed in horror as I shot at the monster in front of me. It looked at me and laughed, mockingly.“You can't kill me Baron!”. It said as it charged at me with full force. I ran as fast as I could trying to get away but it was faster. It caught up to me and flung me violently. I landed on the floor and coughed out thick blood.“What do you want from me? Who sent you? What are you?”. I asked as it shrank in size.“Oh Baron. You don't even recognise your own self. Maybe all the evil things you've done have made you forget?”. The monster said as it morphed into… me?“What? What is this?”. I asked in horror.The monster cackled and lunged towards me, choking me. I woke up gasping for air while holding my neck. I looked around frantically and realised that it was just a nightmare. I sighed and got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash my face. That nightmare had been plaguing me for years now. It refused to stop, it only got worse.I sighed a

CHAPTER NINETEEN- MOM

CAMILLA'S POV“We're here to see your mother”. I stood there in a daze, Baron's words resounding in my ears.“Wh-what?”. I asked again. Thinking that my hearing had betrayed me. “We're here to see your mother Camilla. She's currently receiving treatment in this hospital”. He said with a smile.My mother was alive, she was here and I was about to see her. I didn't think that all this time Baron would actually be paying for her treatment. I thought that my suffering in that mansion for those first few months were all in vain.“This… this is real. I'm going to see her”. My voice cracked and I couldn't hold my tears back anymore. The thought of me seeing her after so long brought me so much joy. Just yesterday I cried myself to sleep thinking about her and now I was going to see her. Baron held my hand and gave me a reassuring smile. He led me into the hospital and a nurse immediately came to attend to us. The nurse took us to the top floor.“She's in there?”. I asked quietly.“Yes ma'

CHAPTER TWENTY- My Feelings For Her

BARON'S POV“You're kidding right? This is the new structure you could come up with?”. I asked in disbelief as my team laid out the new security structure that they wanted to put in place.“Sir we employed the services of one of the best security divisions in the state. Th-this is guaranteed to be solid and full proof”. One of the team members said nervously. They knew how precise I liked to be and how I hated mistakes.“There. Right there. Isn't that a blind spot? Why didn't you take account for these loopholes?”He looked at the slide confused and shocked.Typical.“This meeting is done. And don't call me back here until you have a solid security structure. We're wasting time here, people. Someone was able to breach our security and intercept our packages. I don't want that to happen again”. I said and left the meeting room with Jina following me from behind.“I'm really sorry about that useless display Mr Henshaw.”. She started. “I assure you we'll do better”I stopped in my tracks
