The Plutocrats' Lovers

Chapter Twenty

Camila Almada's POV

No, it cannot be. He did not mean that. I was sure of that. But then again, his facial expression was one to hold for. In all his naked glory as he was still inside of me, he was popping the question that I have been waiting for. Or maybe I just wanted him to confess first.

"What?" I asked him as I was popping onto my elbows as I went to close the gap that we have between us. He gulped as I was looking at him in all seriousness.

"It's nothing. nothing—I just spurred it out," he stammered as he was about to turn away from me. I held his chin before he can go any further.

"Do you mean it?" I asked him in a whisper but he did hear it alright. He looked at me as if I was a fragile thing and I hated it when he thought of me like that.

"I—"

"Enough. Just answer the question. No more excuses," I said as I was boring my gaze into his. He looked at me with all the emotions that he can muster in his wake.

Desire, Lust, Frustration, Love.

The last one was not expected. Maybe because we were basked in our afterglow that I might have been deceived into looking that emotion for something else.

Or maybe I was being too hopeful.

"Yes, I am serious. And need I remind you that you are my fiancée before you say—"

"Yes," I answered too quickly.

"What?" He asked me as he did not listen to what I just said.

"Nothing, I want you now, you i***t," I said as I was kissing him. He held me as I will melt away and I was kissing him passionately when I can sense that he was still hard inside of me.

"Oh, someone's eager," I said as I was playing with his hair. He smirked at me.

"Well, you sure been a good teacher," he said as he was holding me close before he scooped me and went to the bedroom.

Our bedroom.

I was giggling like a mad child before Nicolas dumped me onto the bed. He stalked on top of me as he was kissing my body and he explored me. I was gasping and panting as he did not move inside me one last time, I might go insane.

"Patience, all in good time, you will feel good, my love," he said as he was nuzzling my neck.

"Then, put me out of my misery," I said as I was pulling his face to kiss him. He smiled in that kiss before he was moving against me and I have no more complaints.

After more hours of just having basked in the afterglow and his warmth, I was staring at the edge of the window as I was wearing a bathrobe while holding a hot tea. It was one of the things that I liked to do when I had my thoughts in a hot mess. I have to answer his question but I thought we all know what the answer might be.

"Hey," Nicolas said as he went to wrap his arms around me from behind. He was kissing my neck when I angled for better access. He was still bare chest as he just had his towel and his hair was still wet from the shower. I turned to look at him as I know what I have to do.

"Nico," I said as I was putting the tea on the edge of the window ledge. I have to make sure that he will not be distracted as I was with his mouth on my neck. His brown eyes were staring at me as I took a deep breath.

"Yes,"

"Yes?" He asked me. I smiled.

"Yes, yes," I replied. He knotted his eyebrows together before realization hit me.

"Is that your answer? To my question?" He asked me. I simply nodded. He smiled as he scooped me up and twirled me around. I was laughing. He was happy before he put me down and kissed me again.

"You don't know how much that answer made me a happy man," he said as he was pulling me closer as I put my hands on his chest.

"I thought as much but I think we were way past that point now," I said as I looked into his eyes. He smirked at me.

"Well, I think you're right," he said before he went to the night table and took the engagement ring that was shining in the sunset.

"I had it since I first went to meet you. You were not there so I have been keeping it for a while now. I was about to say to you a year ago, well—" he said as he was laughing at the joke that he just made. I chuckled before he slipped it into the ring finger of my left hand. I looked at it as it was shining in its glory.

"A citrine fit like my eyes," I said as I was looking at it. Nicolas was laughing at me before he kissed me again.

"Well, you know I always only had eyes on you, my love," he said as he was dipping his chin on my head as we were staring at the sunset.

"You have been notorious when I was not around," I joked at him. He groaned before he nuzzled my neck.

"I told you it was not intentional. I was looking for release but I was more frustrated because you were away from my body," he said as he licked my neck. I shivered at his touch.

"Well, at least you did learn how to get me wet and hot and bothered for you, my love," I said as I turned to look at him. He smirked as his brown orbs were glistening with mischief.

"Only to please my lady," he said before he scooped me up and went to the place where I know I will be released from my misery.

And his.

It was in the dead of the night as I was awakened by the sound of my phone. I looked around as I saw Nicolas was sleeping soundly beside me, his hand was draping all over my waist. I smiled at his gesture before I got out of the bed and went to search for the phone.

It was in the living room where I had discarded my hoodie and I was looking at it. It was an unknown number. Did they have found me? I have discarded that phone as I knew Val would want me to get out of the country and never look into the past. I also heard that Alfred was trying to disband the organization. And maybe I should have done that as well.

"What are you doing?" A voice startled me when I turned to look at a very disheveled Nicolas as he was leaning against the door frame. He was naked as well as I was but I did not focus on his groin. Instead, I looked at his face, a very angry face.

"It's just a call from the company, I have today until I can say what was my placement would be," I said as I closed the phone.

"A call in the early morning, it was not even 8 AM yet," Nicolas said as he was approaching me. I looked at him before he took my phone and shoved it onto the sofa.

"I want you in bed, mi estrella," he said as he was scooping me up as my legs instantly wrapped around his torso. I smiled at him.

"Well, I would love to go to bed with you, my love," I said as I was kissing him before he turned around and was interrupted when his phone was ringing. He groaned as he walked toward it, with me in his arm. He looked at the number before he cursed under his breath.

"Hello, Adam," he said as I stiffened at the name. Nico looked at me, concerned before I shook my head as I was playing with his nape.

"Are you sure? Another breach in my company in Spain?" He asked as he looked at me. I shook my head as I had nothing to do with this.

"And you sure it was Black Lily again? Isn't she—oops sorry, he, has been captured and exposed?" He said as he walked toward the bed and sat down. I was straddling his laps as he was caressing my long legs.

"Yeah, I will check that in the morning. Thanks, pal," he said before he put the phone onto the night table and turned to me.

"Now, where were we?" He said as he was about to kiss me, I avoided him.

"Why is Adam calling you in the morning?" I asked him. He groaned because he knew I would not let go of the subject until he gave me the answer that I wanted to hear.

"He thinks Black Lily was striking again but I knew better," he smirked as I rolled my eyes at him.

"Well, should we find out who was imposing me?" I asked him as I arched my eyebrow.

"Well, maybe after my meal," he said before he flipped me on the table and my laughter was replaced by groans and moans.

Camila Almada's POV

After our session in the early morning and much more in the shower, Nicolas has to meet with Adam Florenz, the very person who wanted me behind bars. So, Nico thought it would be dangerous if I went with him. Instead, he made me stay home.

I scoffed at his command like I would listen to him as if Alfred was any better than him. So, after he left for a while and I thought that I was finally clear to do what I wanted, I went into the wardrobe and find one of his hoodies, black of course, and a tight pair of jeans that he has bought for me. I tied my hair into a tight bun and pulled off the hoodie to cover it.

As much as I wanted to make sure that I was getting the replacement that I needed, this case was far more interesting than me singing in front of strangers. I think I would only sing for Nicolas when he was about to close his eyes and maybe some of his little ones as well.

"Woah, where did that come from?" I asked myself as I was shaking my head before I put on my sneakers and I went out of the house.

Not to mention that his house was at the top of a f*****g mountain and I had to run down the hill before I can hit the city that I saw through the window. It seems near but really, it was farther than I expected. And luckily, I have been doing my cardio, well except the ones that I did with Nicolas in the bed.

I hit the market when everyone was ready to sell their goods for the day. I did not have any change or cash because I only relied on my credit cards and I was too prideful to get some from Nicolas, so I just have to find a cafe that will accept card payment.

"Morning," I said in Spanish as I was looking at the barista. He smiled at me before I ordered a black coffee and some muffins to go with it.

"That will be 7 euros, señorita," he said before I gave him my card. He accepted it and then charged it. I thanked him before I took my coffee and my muffins and went to take a seat in the cafe. I was looking around when I saw someone familiar in the streets.

I was biting on the muffin as I saw they were exchanging information. I tried to read their lips but my vision was soon covered by a chubby man as he was sitting outside the cafe. I threw my hands up before I sighed. I took a full sip of my coffee before I went to the trash can and dumped all of my muffins and coffee. It was good muffins by the way.

I went out of the cafe and looked at the people that I have taken interest in but they were nowhere to be found. I sighed before I looked at the chubby man. He was enjoying his muffin as well and I knew it was the good ones.

"Thanks a lot," I said to him in Spanish and before he can see me, I moved out of the street and went to the other side of the road. I was looking down at my sneakers as I was walking in the direction that I thought they went. I was furious to know that he was meeting someone better than me and he also lied that he went to meet Adam.

tonight, I will kill you in your sleep, Nicolas Garcia. f**k you!

Nicolas Garcia's POV

So, I might have told Camila that I was meeting Adam and I might have left some information that I will be meeting with my friend first, the director of the new company that my bride will be taking on tour.

"I see that you made it quite important to meet me early this morning," she said as she was sipping on her coffee. I scoffed at her as I was looking at her amused face.

"Wait, don't tell me, you f****d her," she said the word so bluntly. I looked at her sharply.

"Please, Alicia, can you not say that word casually?" I said as I was pinching my nose bridge as I can sense that she was smirking at me.

"Well, It is what it is, right. Don't deny it, Garcia," she said. She liked it when I was being tortured by her.

"Please, cousin, it was lovemaking. Love. Making," I said as I was looking at her hard. She shrugged.

"Whatever you say, cousin. Come on, I don't have all day," she said as she was looking at me before she walked toward her office. I cannot believe that she was one of the most sought out producers but she rather lived here than anywhere else in the world.

"I always wonder why you never went out of Spain," I asked her as we were walking into her office before she put her handbag down and she took a seat at her chair. I took a seat in front of her desk before she sighed.

"Well, I did travel out of Spain but it was nothing like home, and you know how much I love being here," she replied as she looked at me, expecting me to say something.

"Okay, you may have known why I came here,"

"I have a few ideas," she replied. I rolled my eyes at her.

"Well, I need to make sure that she was marrying me for who I am, not for the security of the company nor the information in my company," I said as I looked at Alicia. She arched her eyebrow at me.

"So, you need my help, just say it," she was enjoying it much more than she needed it to be. I rolled my eyes before I sighed.

"Yes, in a way," I said. She snapped her finger at me as she was pointing at me.

"I knew it, I knew it! You fell in love," she said as she was making gooey eyes at me. I scoffed at her.

"No, I was not definitely in love, as you say it. I was merely infatuated with her," I said as I was straightening my shirt with my hands. Why were they suddenly damped with sweat?

"Uh-huh, whatever you say, cousin," she said before she was typing something on her computer and she was smiling like an i***t. I arched my eyebrow at her.

"Well, I think you might be the one that was falling in love," I said before I stood up from my seat as I was ready to make my next stop before heading home.

"I am certainly not," she said as she narrowed her eyes at me. I chuckled.

"Well, enjoy your day cousin," I said to her as I went out of the office, waving at her.

"You too, cousin," she replied.

"And don't forget about the condition!" I said as I was glancing over my shoulder. She stuck her tongue out at me before I walked out of her office and I went to my company.

"Mr. Garcia, your guest was waiting for you," my secretary said to me as she was telling me my schedule and all of that s**t. I was not ready to face that, not when I had my bride waiting for me at my house. I smiled at that thought.

"You know what, cancel all my meetings for today and I wanted all the stuff to get a vacation," I said as I was holding the handle of my office door.

"Sir?"

"Just some vacation for them and besides, it is Thursday. Tomorrow you don't need to come to work. Have a vacation. Go out with your friend, okay? Bye," I said before I closed the door and I saw that Adam was sitting in my chair. I arched my eyebrow at him.

"Was that necessary?" I asked him. He shrugged.

"Well, I just wanted to know what a billionaire's chair feels like," he said as he got out of my chair and went to greet me. I hugged him as he was patting my back.

"So, what's the news?" I asked him as were taking our seats at the sofas. He tossed me a file. It has a name. Black Lily.

A shiver ran through me. Has he finally figured it out?

I took the files and I opened them. It has all the information for the Black Lily. Where he attacked and when. But one thing they forgot or did not know yet was that Black Lily was a woman.

"So, you brought me a file. What do you want me to do with it?" I asked him as I put the file down on the table as I clasped my hands together as I looked at him. Adam was observing me as he was probing for any lies that I might have done.

Maybe I have.

He cleared his throat before he looked at me as he leaned forward. The word that left his mouth stunned me.

"Black Lily was Camila Almada and I think she was your fiancée,"
