Blurb "Mummy, Daddy is pleading." The children cried to their mother on their father's behalf D...divorce? Camilla said her voice was shaky and her body trembled as she heard the divorce paper that felt like a heavy burden weighing her down to the fullest. "Yes, Divorce! That is the gift for our third marriage anniversary." Sebastien said his tone was devoid of emotions. Camilla's world shatters when her husband, Sebastien, serves her divorce papers on their third anniversary, revealing his secret affair with her step-sister. Heartbroken but determined, Camilla rises from the ashes, transforming into a sophisticated and independent woman. Five years later, she returns to reclaim her family's company, only to find herself caught between her vengeful ex-husband and a charming billionaire vying for her heart. Will Camilla find love and redemption, or will secrets from the past destroy everything?" Who will Camilla settle for?
Camilla marched into her husband's office; she held a tiny box that contained her pregnancy confirmation test results.
It was their three-year anniversary since they had gotten married.
It was not a happy marriage, but she knew with what she was going to tell him, things might change for the better.
"Baby, you are a blessing to me. I hope your dad will be happy to hear this wonderful news." She mumbled,rubbing her stomach roundly and grinned slightly.
Her husband Sebastien was really cold and heartless towards her. Her marriage has been nothing but hell, and despite all that, she did everything to make it work.
"Excuse me, madam, where are you heading to?" Xenia, her husband's personal assistant, stopped her by the door.
She pushed Camilla before she could grab the handle of the Sebastien office door.
"I am going to see the boss; I have something important to say to him." Camilla said as she glanced at the box in her hands. She held it as though it were an egg.
"Do you have any appointments with the boss? Were you invited by him? Shameless woman that always throws herself at the boss." Xenia sneered. hatred dripped in her voice as she glared at Camilla.
Camilla was a small staff, but still she hated her.
"You can call your boss to confirm."
She said calmly, not wanting to ruin her happy moment by paying no attention to what Xenia said.
She was really a calm woman, and she didn't blame Xenia for how she treated her.
Camilla could be annoying sometimes because she behaves dumb most of the time, but she was a naive lady.
It was not really her fault. But she was hoping that they would come to realize who she truly is.
Xenia was a top staff member on the top floor, while she was just a small staff member on the down floor. In Camilla's own husband's office.
"Who sent the gift to him?" Xenia asked,her eyes fixated on the box Camilla was holding.
"His wife maybe." Camilla said and let out a sly smile.
"Ohh, the lady he is going to pick up at the airport today! I see." Xenia pouted.
"Airport? Lady?" Camilla asked, with a confused look.
Xenia gave her a deadly glare, not giving a response to the question she asked.
So painful and pitiful, even his personal assistant didn't know Camilla was Sebastian's wife.
"Sir, Camilla has a package to deliver to you; should I let her in?" Xenia spoke to Redford with the telephone on her desk.
"Let her in." Redford said as he ended the call.
"You can go in now." Xenia said to Camilla and gave her a deadly and hateful gaze.
"Okay, thanks." She said not minding how rude and inhumane Xenia was acting towards her.
She was used to it even from her husband, family, Xenia, and most of her colleagues.
With fear and happiness mixed in her mood, she took a ragged, deep breath as she walked into his office.
"What are you doing here? Redford asked as though she was nobody, his finger still on his keyboard without looking at her for a second.
"Good morning, my lovely husband." She said, smiling, not paying attention to his harsh words.
She believed his mind that had been frozen towards her for the past years would melt to a liquid state after she shared what she had to say.
"Keep your greetings to yourself, woman; I asked what you are doing here!" He yelled as he stood up.
Sebastien's icy gaze, chiseled features, and polished suits exuded detachment, his thin lips pressed together in a perpetual scowl as he glared at her in disgust.
He was supposed to be happy, but why was he furious?
Her lips parted, but no word came out. The box was already slipping off her hands.
"It is our marriage's third anniversary as husband and wife, so I brought a gift for the love we shared." She found herself speaking bullshit.
She knew her marriage was nothing but hell all these years, but she was willing to bet that everything would be fine.
"What am I supposed to do with the gift?" He asked her, and those words made her pupils dilate as she stared at her husband in disbelief. Her stomach knitted, but she managed to swallow the lump in her throat.
"This isn't just a gift, Seb. Aren't we supposed to be celebrating?" She avoided his gaze as she absorbed what he had just asked.
"Gift?" He repeated and laughed out mockingly as he scowled, giving her a piercing gaze that could be able to pierce her skin if it happened to be a knife.
Her heart skipped; he looks handsome even in his furious state, his Turkish suit making him look more handsome and professional.
She had been married to Sebastien for more than three years now, and he had always seen and treated her as trash. He only loves her when it is time for his sexual desires.
What a pervert!
"I have something important I want to share with you. It is very important." She said she did not want to keep the news to herself, not even for a second.
"Say what you have to say now! As you can see, I was really busy when you came in." He roared his voice loud enough to make her pee on her pants.
"I wanted..."
"Before you say anything, I will also like to tell you something too." He chipped in before she could complete her statement.
He bent down and drew out his locker, bringing out a neat brown envelope.
'Awwwn! Maybe he had finally wanted to give me a gift or even a promotion as our third anniversary gift.' She thought in her head as she smiled widely; her nerves calmed down instantly.
This was actually the first time he was going to be giving her a gift since they got married.
"Hey, I am very happy to handover this envelope to you. It had been long that I had been anticipating and waiting for this day to come, and I am happy it came." He paused and was happy with the way she was smiling, but the shock in her eyes could be seen.
"This is a gift for our third marriage anniversary; find it in your heart to accept it; no matter how it is, it is for our happiness." He said it emotionally, and his aura made her want to hug him so tightly.
This was indeed the first time he sounded so calm, sweet, and romantic to her since they got married.
Camilla blushed throughout his speech and accepted the envelope.
"I am so happy that finally my husband spoke this way. I will accept any gift wholeheartedly for our love."
What? This man was furious and was barking a few minutes ago, and now he is calm and so sweet?
She quietly opened the envelope, her heart racing in good anticipation to see what her husband had given her as their anniversary gift.
"D_ivorce! She whispered in a breaking hurry tone immediately she opened the file; she wasn't sure she was seeing the right things because her eyes were blurry, and she tried to scratch it a little bit, and then the realization hit her that her husband gave her a divorce paper.
She couldn't even believe it, even as she held the paper.
"Yes divorce! I am freaking damn tired of this marriage and would be getting married to the woman I really love. Sign those papers, and you will be compensated." He said his tone devoid of an atom of emotion.
Her eyes were already pouring down tears; her stomach knitted in pain. "What did I ever do? I have been trying to make this marriage work."
Sebastien cut her statement short: "Your father had wanted to use the fact that I slept with you to blackmail me; that was the reason I decided to take you in, and then my father was about to hand over this company to me, and I had to too. I never wanted to marry a stranger, you know."
"I also didn't want to marry a stranger; you are not the only one in this mess." Camilla scoffed, her head banging.
"Don't talk rubbish to my face; you drugged my drink that night, and I know it. Don't play dumb." Sebastian sneered.
"I swear I was also drugged that night at your father's mansion. Please understand this." Camilla cried, trying to prove her innocence.
Camilla had gone to a birthday party at Sebastien's fathom mansion and woke up the next morning to see herself on his bed.
She didn't know how it happened, but she was sure someone drugged her.
"Your father also used this to gain more popularity and connection; now that he has gotten enough of that, there is no need for this marriage anymore. I have someone I have vowed to marry and would be picked on at the airport today. So, bye, dear wife." Sebastien said his voice was hard and steady.
"I can un-understand...""And also one more last thing." He said cutting her short. "You are fired!
