~Camila’s POV~
I opened my eyes to be greeted by the lovely face of my husband. Is this man truly aware of how fortunate he is to be loved by a
lady who will never abandon him, regardless of the circumstances? I shifted to his side as he shifted to mine, and he instantly
began kissing me, but his kiss was different in some way. It’s intense, involving a plethora of feelings. I swear I caught a glimpse
of regret in his eyes. He looked like a man on the verge of losing everything. I brushed the thought away.
“Good morning!” I said to him. However, when I rubbed my palm across his bare chest, he continued to stare at me. He’s
different. What is wrong?
“Good morning,” he answered.
Being this close to him fills me with an overabundance of ideas. His muscular chest pressing against my bare chest makes me
crave more of him. He managed to caress my hair to the side, exposing my neck and ear. He started to tenderly kiss my neck,
which created butterflies in my tummy. Our mouths locked each other hard. He caressed my hair once more and began kissing
me on the cheek, but something was wrong. I could feel it. I just don’t know what it is. I am no fool. Chris is different today.
“I love you. I am so fucking in love with you and I can’t hide it anymore. I really love you, wife.” He said, looking directly into my
eyes. I was certain he meant it. Since last night, he has been telling me he loves me and I have not acknowledged it. Finally, I
had the courage to say something back.
“I’m madly in love with you, too, Chris.” I was looking directly into his eyes when I said it.
He slipped my hair behind my ear after brushing it.
“Close your eyes.” I did as I was told, and a chilly something was placed on my neck. I had the distinct impression it was a

necklace.
“Open your eyes.” I did as I was told. When I opened my eyes, I was drawn to the jewel around my neck. It was in the shape of a
heart with the letters “CLC” written in the center.
“CLC?” I kicked my brow and looked at him with a questionable expression. He grinned and nodded.
“Yep, Christopher, Liam, and Camila, or vice versa.” I smiled and kissed him, and he continued caressing my hair.
“Today, I have another surprise for you.” I grinned and kissed him one more time. “I will visit your workplace during lunch. I’m
going to take a shower. I have an early meeting this morning.” He didn’t look pleased when he mentioned the second surprise

but hid his sadness by saying he was going to take a shower.
I’m not sure whether it’s just my imagination, but Chris looks to be different today, or rather his behavior is a little different. I
brushed it aside and began massaging my necklace. Finally, we have the opportunity to work on our relationship. After Chris had
finished taking a shower, I followed suit and went to work. Luke was already prepping for the launch when I arrived. I came a little
late since I needed to get dressed at my house. The clothes at Chris’ place were only sweatpants. I arrived at the office and
began to approve some of Luke’s suggestions for the launch. Without him, I’m not sure what I would have done. I am confident
that this launch will be the most spectacular of them all. Today, time flew by. It was already 1:30 p.m. when I checked the clock.
Then I heard an outside ruckus. I stayed put because I had a few things to accomplish. I heard a knock at my office door.
“Please come in!” I yelled, and Chris and his friend Mark walked in. I smiled at them, but Chris did not reciprocate. Mark was the
only one who smiled.
“Gentlemen, please.” They all sat down once I showed them the seats. “Is there anything I can do to help you? Are you in
attendance to discuss the current project?” That was the only thing that sprang to mind. That is, for both of them to appear.
“Hello, Camila. It’s a pleasure to see you again. As always, exquisite,” Mark remarked.

“Are you trying to flirt with me, Mr. Cooper?” I made a joke, and both of us laughed. My husband hadn’t said anything to me, and
I was startled. “Mr. Grayston, you look somewhat aloof today. Is everything okay?” He did not respond; instead, he tossed a file
my way.
“Sign this,” he said in a somewhat calm tone, but cold.
When I took the document from him, the first thing I noticed was the phrase ‘Divorce agreement.’ My world came crashing right
before me and came to a halt. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. As I struggled to take a breath, I clutched my chest.
How is this possible?
I took my gaze at my husband, Chris, and we exchanged glances. However, he avoided making eye contact with me. Is this the
surprise he alluded to? Following his declaration of love for me,
*****
Camila was shocked, the color of her face was slowly creeping away. With her hands on the divorce papers, she had been
served. She glared at him, daring him to look at her, but the man didn’t. She sank to the ground as though a storm swept in after

a few days of sunny weather. She reopened the file, stunned. Last night’s images of her and Chris poured in. Her hands were
buried in the jewel Chris had given her this morning. Nothing seemed to make sense.
What was that? What happened last night and this morning is still a mystery to me. Why did he have to do that? Is this what he
calls love? Camila thought to herself.
She returned her gaze to the man in front of her, who was now looking at her with an expressionless face and returned her gaze
to the divorce papers. Hiding the desire to cry, however, she failed miserably. Tears ran from her eyes to her cheeks and down to
her neck. She regained her composure in the end. She rose from the group and cast a glance toward Chris. She inhaled deeply
and strode behind her desk like a victor. She took up a pen and began signing the divorce papers. Chris handed her a copy of
the divorce papers without even looking at her, and she collected them. She suddenly realized she had signed without reading.
She promptly opened the duplicate and discovered that Liam remained with her. She leaned back in her chair and inhaled
deeply. Then she screamed,
“Get out!”
