CHAPTER NINETEEN, CARE

  "Chrusciki and I don't even know how to prepare it," Camilo replied to him. "How can you when you've never been in the kitchen before? You and Dad are just obsessed about opening the biggest companies in the world." Elio said after he finished laughing at him. "If you going to make fun of me then please leave the kitchen. I wonder what even brought you here." Camilo said getting angry. Elio knew that his words always angered his brother but this was fun for him, he enjoyed torturing Camilo." "If I leave the kitchen then you will never make that chrusciki," Elio said to him and pushed Camilo from the cooker. "Let the professional who attends culinary class handle it," Elio said as he stood before the cooker. "What will I be doing?" Camilo asked him. "Assist me when needed," Elio replied and smiled. They both got to work to make angel wings for Miss Mylar. "Elio keeps making me sad." Mrs Emelda

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN, PARTY TIME 2

 "But I bought you dresses worth quite a lot, you should choose from those and not that cheap one Elio brought," Camilo said. "Elio is a miser." He whispered and hissed softly at himself. Mylar said to Camilo. "Those expensive ones ain't prettier than this cheap one." He got upset and left the room but Mylar smiled at his childishness. Guests started arriving a little while later in their beautifully stunning dresses. Changing rooms were made available for anyone who wanted to try on the lingerie they bought. The house was decorated to the highest level and its beauty was brought out nicely before everyone. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, gentle music playing, drinks and snacks arranged nicely to entice the guests, and much more other preparations were made that can't be listed in a matter of minutes. Vida arrived much earlier to help Elio out with supervising the entire work. They've been planning this for weeks now and would not allow a

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX, PARTY TIME

 "Oh God, please keep quiet," Vida yelled at him and he stopped. Mylar watched Camilo through the side of her eyes as they drove back home. His words kept echoing in her ears. "Why would he say that before everyone?" She asked herself. "Why do you keep looking at me?" Camilo asked her after a while of noticing her stare. Huh! Mylar gasped. Camilo repeated his question. "Why do you keep looking at me?"  "Why would I look at you?" Mylar asked with a shrug of her shoulder. Camilo said to her. "Stop using another question to answer my question."  "You are not that handsome you know," Mylar said quietly and Camilo stared at her, his face hardened. They didn't speak to each other throughout the entire ride home.  "Will you please stop sulking already?" Mylar asked after he drove into his parking space. Camilo turned towards her and replied. "I am not sulking."  "What are you doing then?" M

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE, ICE CREAM

 Camilo waited patiently but he was feeling a little bit tired so he dozed off. The knock on his car windscreen startled him and he jumped up only to bang his head on the roof of the car. Ouch!!! He cried out rubbing his head. The person knocked again, this time loudly. He blew down the glass and saw that it was Mylar. "Oh sorry, sorry about that." He apologized and opened the door from the inside. "What were you doing?" She asked after she got inside and shut the door after her. "Ummm. I was listening to some music." Camilo lied. "I didn't hear any music, only a grown-up man snoring," Mylar said and looked away from him to hide her smile. "I wasn't snoring, I never snore." He defended himself and got exposed. "I wasn't talking about you but you only just confirmed that you were indeed sleeping," Mylar said to him, he shook his head and smiled. "Are you done with what you came for?" Camilo asked and she n

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR, LOVE CONNECT

 After he finished running around for the preparation of the party they were having the next day, Elio went back to the office. The shooting area was quite choked up as the staff gathered around to watch the new model pose. She was quite an amateur at it, she couldn't get the pose right and to make matters worse, Trina set her mind on making Vida fail and look like an idiot before everyone. Vida kept trying her best but the eyes of so many people staring at her in the lingerie she was wearing were making her nervous and uncomfortable. And Trina kept yelling and telling her how badly she did. "Why are there so many people here?" Elio asked as he pushed his way through the people at the door. Hearing his voice made Vida turn around and when she saw him, she smiled, she finally felt a bit of relief. Now, there will be no more opportunities for Trina to make her feel nervous anymore. "I am asking a question," Elio said raising his voice a little. Trina bowed her hea

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE, BE CAUTIOUS

  "Hey, what are you looking at?" Vida asked when she saw Mylar looking in another direction. "I am looking at Elio," Mylar replied. Vida asked surprised. "Why? Is this the first time you are seeing him?" Mylar turned back to Vida and replied. "No, but I have a feeling that I have seen Elio somewhere before." "Of course you have. He's your brother-in-law." Vida said to her and giggled. "That's not what I mean. I think I know him from somewhere else other than the first time I met him at the Mansion." Mylar tried to explain. "Girl, forget about that. It's impossible, let's just talk about something else." Vida said and then she remembered something she wanted to tell Mylar. "I saw Ozzy. OMG, you needed to see him, he looked so raged and wretched. He must have suffered a lot after losing everything." "He deserves it all," Mylar said and Vida smiled. "People are saying that this

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO, BRINGING TRUTH TO LIGHT

Image
  "Oh my God." Elio and Mylar gasped at what they saw. Miss Emelda was wearing lingerie, Mylar found her funny in what she was wearing but Elio didn't want her to find out the reason why they came back so he quickly said. "You look so hot, Miss Emelda." She smiled at his compliment and felt shy. "But why are you wearing lingerie in an empty house or perhaps is your boyfriend here?" Mylar asked playing along with Elio. "I... I don't have a boyfriend. I just saw it in movies that the ladies like wearing these kinds of things and so I decided to try it out and see how I look when no one's around." Miss Emelda replied stammering. "Oh okay." They both chorused. "But what are you two doing back home?" She asked quickly, she needed to change the topic in order not to expose herself. "Mylar was having her usual cramps and came back to get her pills instead of buying a new one," Elio replied and Mylar quickly agre

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE, ALMOST THERE

 Mylar placed her hands on Elio's hands and he turned his face towards her. "You need to be calm, we can't just go to your dad with such an accusation without evidence," Mylar said to him, he smiled at her and said. "I wasn't planning on approaching him. We will need to be careful to gather evidence that he is having an affair with her before accusing him." His smile was reassuring and gave her some peace of mind. "That's good. Only then will Camilo believe us because I see that he has a lot of trust and faith in Miss Emelda that can't be shaken by just an accusation and without evidence." Mylar said and Elio looked at her. "I am glad she is putting Camilo into consideration." Elio thought to himself. "Well, keep up with the spy job but be careful while doing it so that you won't hurt yourself in any way," Elio said and patted her on her shoulder. "Won't you be helping me out?" Mylar asked. "Su

CHAPTER TWENTY, SAVE SOMEONE YOU LOVE

  "Where is my grandchild?" Mrs Camila asked interrupting their conversation about the new idea. "Your grandchild is coming to meet you soon, so just....relax," Mylar replied to her question with a smile. "Are you sure?" Mrs Camila asked, her face reflecting a bit of sadness. "I am so sure. You know I never lie to you right." Mylar asked her. "Yes. Then I will go to my room and wait for my grandchild." Mrs Camila said and got up on her feet. She ran upstairs. "I still can't believe how much you can handle my mom," Elio said to Mylar with admiration for her. "Even I sometimes wonder how she can be such a superwoman." Someone said from behind them. It was Camilo, he came back from his run a while ago and came in through the back. He went and freshened up and that was when he decided to come downstairs. "You are back early," Mylar said to him. "Camilo keeps surprising me every day. I think he is getti

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN, MYSTERY

  Mylar crouched down in pain. After she heard some familiar voices coming out from Mr Julian's room, she wondered who could be in his room at such late hours of the night. "Could it be my mom Camila, but why would they be whispering? I should check who it is." She said to herself. As she was tiptoeing towards the room, a sharp pain hit her in her stomach. Her baby was at it again, she cried out in pain and held onto the stomach as if that would make it stop. Mylar!!! Someone called making the man stop in his tracks. "Mylar and Camilo at my door this late, what could they possibly want?" The man asked himself, he stood by the door waiting for them to leave. "What's wrong?" Camilo asked as he knelt to check her. And as he touched her stomach, suddenly the pain went away as fast as it came. "I wanted some water and I was going to the kitchen to get it when I suddenly felt this sharp...sharp.. pain in my tummy," Mylar explained to him holdin

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN, UNCERTAIN

  "Thanks, Elio," Mylar said showing her appreciation in her voice. "No, you don't have to. Now that I think of it, it's a really good experience for me as the father of the child." Camilo cut in and everyone looked at him surprised even Miss Emelda who came out to serve him his grape juice. Then he turned towards Elio and said. "Elio can wait until he's also expecting his child." "What the heck is his problem this time around? He's always unpredictable" Mylar wondered and Elio simply smiled at his brother's words. Mr. Julian smiled and commended Camilo, then he quickly went upstairs to check the envelope. Mylar went back to her seat looking at Camilo strangely, she wondered how someone would be so hard to read. One time is yes and another is no. "He's never stable." "Do you want some grape juice?" Camilo asked when he saw how she was staring at him. "Aww. Camilo is living up to his word. I think h
