'This woman is dangerous.' Olivia calmly thought to herself as she held her twisted hand and glared at Camilla with intense dislike burning in her eyes.
“Tch, you don't have long to stay here bitch.”
“Good, good. I was hoping you'd say that.” Camilla divulged as she watched Olivia quietly writhe in pain. She grinned to herself, the mocking laughter obvious in her face as she stepped out of the kitchen.
As soon as she was out, Olivia angrily swept all the items on the kitchen island to the floor. There was a loud crashing sound as plates shattered into pieces
“That b***h! I'll get her soon.”

Watching Olivia slip and loose control over her emotions was quite... Pitiful. How was she supposed to act when other people were around her? Throw tantrums?
“I wonder what Al is thinking but... Oh well. None of my business.”
I stepped in to the living room and was surprised to see the Aiden was no longer with Glyndon but he was sitting on Renee's lap and staring at her in obvious fascination.
“Aiden...”
“Oh! I'm sowwy.”
The lady in question glared at me. Most times in the past, I used to think Renee hated me but it was much later that I came to realise that she had a brother complex so in a way, no one was good enough for Alessio. Whar did she see in him anyway? Even his own mother and grandmother saw him as a lot cause. They'd never admit it but it was damn well obvious.
“Not like I want anything to do with him anyway.”
“What did you say?” Renee queried clearly hearing my thoughts I had said out-loud.
“Nothing Renee and please, let me say something. I apologize for just showing up out of the blue but don't worry, I'm not here for Alessio or anything. The less I'm known to the public, the better. I want my peace and Aiden's.”
“Oh.” She replied. Her starstruck expression obvious on her face. Did she really think I wanted her shitty brother? She glared at me as if looking harsh enough would make the truth come out from my mouth. Too bad though, I had already said the truth and there was no other story going on here.
“Momma!” Aiden exclaimed as he tugged at my jeans and with a smile, I scopped him up into the arms. He was so cute with his little act and all. I wonder how everyone would react if he were to suddenly stop acting like a child.
'Get such silly thoughts out of your head Camilla. It's for his own safety.'
“Have you said hi to Grandma Glyndon and Auntie Renee?”
“Yesh!” He answered as he nodded affirmatively with his cute grin.
“That's great. I'll be making you lunch soon.”
“Yayy! Lunch. Momma, where's papa?”
“Hmm... He went to work.”
“Will he back soon?”
“I have no idea hunie but why don't we go eat lunch while we wait?”
“Mm... What if it takes longer?”
“Then you go to bed silly. Never stay up late waiting for anyone.”
“Ok momma.”
I wonder if Al was still doing his old job and would be around for Aiden. Why was I even thinking about that? I could take care of my baby just fine.

“Where the f**k is she?!”
“I'm so sorry sir but we can't divulge that information. The higher-ups were very specific about about her information not being released Mr Marcello.”
“Even if I drop a little something?”
“Absolutely not. Anyone who dares leak Miss Camilla's info would be fired on the spot. These are orders from above.”
“I'm sorry?”
“There's nothing I can do about it sir. Unless... You can ask people that were close to her or... ”
Marcello suddenly jumped at the idea as he whipped out his phone and dialed Alicia's number. The first and second ring went but she didn't pick. It was the very last she picked up and with a snide tone, asked what was the matter.
“Where is Camilla, Alice? Where did you hide her this time?”
There was deafening silence at the other end of the line and Marcello repeated his question with a much more... Impatient tone.
“Alice, Where. The. f**k. Is. Camilla.”
“Pfft. You nasty little s**t. Now you asking about her?! It's been three days you fool and now, you suddenly realize that 'she's gone?' brother, I don't know what to tell you. I'm just glad she in a place where you can't reach her or bother her with your stupid crap. Friggin bastard.”
“Alicia... Where is she?”
“Gone, vanished, disappeared, poof! She's gone you nitwit. Face it.”
Marcello pinched the bridge of his nose like he usually did when distressed and massaged his temples
“I know she's gone Alice. My question is, where did she go?”
“Oh I answered that for you. Somewhere you can never get to and that is a blessing believe me, beca--”
“So you have no idea where she is?” Marc cut in. Not allowing her to complete her sentence.
“No idea in the world.” He disconnected the call and massaged his temples. His anxiety growing by the minute.
“Where the f**k did she go and why in the world didn't she tell me?” Radiating of fury in every step, people stepped aside to let him pass. He growled angrily and got into the awaiting car.
“Where to sir? ”
“Camilla's company.”
“Right away sir.”
Marcello sighed and stared out the window watching as the looming building passed.
“That b***h has a lot of explaining to do this time.”
