บททั้งหมดของ I was His wife. Now I am His Nemesis : บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

Adrian’s POV I was not supposed to be in Marley. That was the truth I kept repeating to myself as I drove through the quiet road leading to the secluded house Elias had arranged. I told myself I was only here to check once, to watch from a distance. Just to be sure Camille was okay and safe. Then I will leave before she ever knew I came. That was my plan Then my headlights caught something on the road. I slowed without thinking. My heart skipped in a way I had never felt before. A woman lying on the ground, her body twisted unnaturally, one arm stretched forward like she had been reaching for something. “No,” i breathed. I stopped the car and got out before the engine fully died. I ran out of the car. The closer I got, the clearer it became. Her hair, the curve of her body that I had memorized without meaning to. Camille. She was pale. Her lips were slightly parted, her breathing shallow and uneven. There was blood in the road. My hands were trembling as I kne

Camille’s POVI watched Adrian enter the hospital room, he walked gently to me and sat at the bed. “Camille,” he said quietly. “I know you want to push me away but I’m staying.”I looked at his eyes, I saw uttermost sincerity in them.“Why do you want to stay?” I asked him.“Because I want to stay. Because I want to help you.” He looked directly into my eyes. “I don’t want you to think you are owing me, you are not.”I nodded. I didn’t want t to argue with him. This man has been the one helping me directly and indirectly. He never left me when everyone else abandoned me. He had all the right in the world to abandon me but he chose to help me. I allowed him name my kids because I trusted his judgement, and he will be my kids Godfather. If not for him, my kids and I would be dead and forgotten.“Adrain,” I called his name while he helped me to carry sleeping Vincent in his arms. “I want to sincerely thank you for saving my life and my babies life.” “You don’t have to thank me but you

Camille’s POV After Adrian’s Dad left, Elias handled the paperwork of our discharge quietly. Adrian offered to take us home, but I refused at first but he insisted so I gave in. He helped me carry Vincent, while I carried Julian. He looked so composed like nothing could shake him. But I remembered the fear in his wire when he thought I wouldn’t wake up again.When we got home, Everywhere felt different. Elias renovated the entire place, it was more colorful. Everything was in place, I saw more CCTV camera and 2 new security guards. We took the boys to the baby’s room and it was decorated. Everywhere was so beautiful. I laid Vincent and Julian in their separate crib. They were sleeping so peacefully. “You need to rest too.” Adrian said. “I have rested enough.” He studied my face. Adrian had always been good at reading silence. “.you are thinking too much,” he said. “I’m thinking clearly.” He stood in front me, we were too close but our bodies did not touch. There was some

Camille’s POVI arrived at the airport very low profile. I avoided the spotlight.Five years ago, I left the city with nothing and a broken heart. And now I’m returning with an empire that does not carry my maiden name.The door opened, and I stepped down slowly. The wind in Valmont felt different from Marley. Valmont is known for its cool, fresh air due to the seas surrounding it.“Welcome to Valmont, Ms. Thompson,” my security lead said.A black car waited behind the strip. I had instructed them that I only wanted minimal staff. They had already scheduled our movements and routes.I stood across the street from the Laurent estate with my hands tucked into the pockets of my coat. There was a tall black iron gate.This would have been my home if my parents weren’t murdered. I couldn’t help imagining how different life would have been for me. Would I have gone through so many troubles and struggles? Would I have been humiliated the way Marcus humiliated me?I stood in front of the gate

Camille’s POV“Am I interrupting something?” the lady who came in asked.I turned around. It was the lady who had walked in with Adrian.“You are so lucky,” Fiora said to me. “You better watch your back.”She left angrily and slammed the door hard.“Hello, my name is Eliana,” the lady said. “I hope you are alright.”“Yes, I am. Thank you for asking,” I said while adjusting my mask properly.“Can I give you some advice?” Eliana asked.“Yes, sure.”“Stay very far away from Fiora.” She looked at me sternly. “She is evil and she will go to any extent to destroy someone.”She started reapplying her red lipstick.I chuckled loudly enough for her to hear.“I am being serious. She has dealt with a lot of people and has gotten away with it.”“Why has she not been caught or faced the law?” I asked.“Some people are bigger than the law in Valmont,” Eliana said. “She is deeply connected with people in power.”“Interesting.”I smiled inwardly. Taking down Fiora and Marcus would take time, but what
