His Lethal Love

Scott

POV.

I was looking at the ceiling and thinking about the little girl I met in the morning. She was the most divine creature I had ever met before. I wanted to see her again so I decided to visit that park again. I was regretting not following her. I should have been to her home and met her mother. I was curious about her mother but I didn't know why. I had never thought I would be attached to a child. I had always wanted to have babies since the day I met Camille. I accidentally heard her say she liked toddlers. I was disappointed when I found out she was pregnant with my brother's child, and when she decided to abort her unborn baby, I got angry with her. But when I had decided our future before my brother ended everything. The door of my private elevator slid open and footsteps echoed in the living room. I wondered who had come into my penthouse at that time. I got out of bed and snatched my t-shirt before pulling it over my head. Stepping out, I found Rika standing with an amused expression on her face.

Does she win the lottery, I wondered.

"Now, what do you want?" I said firmly, crossing my arms over my chest and looking straight into her eyes. She stared at me back with a half smile.

"Guess what, I've found a woman who was with you last night." She smirked, strolling toward me. I raised my brows in a questioning look and silently asked her for details. She explained, "I went to the place where you were having drinks and spoke with all the bartenders who had been working there. A bartender spilled the beans..." She let out a shitty grin again. That woman was getting on my nerves. "And I found out it was Camille who was handing your wallet. She was the one who took you to the hotel room..."

"Wait what did you say?" I interrupted her in the middle.

"It was Camille, Scott. She was the one who helped you get into the hotel room and served you a beautiful supermodel."

"Are you trying to say Camille was the one who framed me?"

"Yes." She smiled proudly like that news healed her old wounds. I'm proud of my girl. She has returned to her old self."

"Well, I don't believe it." I walked into the kitchen to get a glass of chilled water. I didn't know what the fuck was wrong with me, but I was feeling something different inside since the day I saw that woman. "She is here for revenge, Scott," Rika said, making me freeze.

Abandoning everything I turned to her with a deep frown on my face. "How sure are you, Rika, she is Camille Davidson?"

"She is Camille Davidson. I have seen her. She is my Camille..." She spoke firmly. "And She's gonna punish you for what you did to her." She fished out her phone from her purse and read out whatever she had on the phone's screen. "Cara Davidson, supermodel and one of the highest-paid European actors. Her boyfriend is named Conan Arthur and they have a beautiful daughter Colette Davidson. They are living a happy life in their luxury villa in London. It is also rumored that they are about to get married next year when Collette turns four." Rika eyed me, examining my expression. I squeezed the glass in my hand but kept my expression neutral. "I knew what you did to her, Scott. You fucked her life up and snatched every happiness she had left in her life. You killed her brother, humiliated her in front of the entire world, and left her devastated. I saw everything, Scott, and trust me you deserve every ounce of hatred she is about to throw your way. You deserve the most severe punishment."

I smiled sadly. "I know I deserve it, Rika, but I would never do that to her if I knew the truth," I said quietly, clenching my jaw. "Did you meet her? I still can't believe she is Camille."

"I went to meet her in the morning after the investigation but she refused me." She sighed sadly. "I don't know why."

"Because she loves you too much to drag you into this mud." I half smiled and walked into my room before closing the door shut. I felt my head heavy from the words Rika spoke to me. I clutched my head, releasing a sharp breath. She is alive.

She has a boyfriend.

She has a daughter. Colette!

"Colette..." I whispered heavily. "I've heard this name somewhere..." I closed my eyes, pressuring my brain to remember. Where did I hear that name? "Colette, Colette, Colette..." my eyes widened in surprise. "Colette!"

I ran my fingers through my hair. "She is the one. The girl in the public park." I laughed nervously, running my fingers through my hair. I felt my hands turning cold and my heart racing fast because the truth was slowly surfacing in my head. "She was Camille's daughter. That's why she looked familiar to me. Her voice, her frown, and her smile." I clutched my head between my hands, falling to my knees. "I was loving everything about her because she was the daughter of the only girl I fell in love with. Camille, you're alive. You're alive." Gradually hope was filling my insides. "She's fucking alive."

I had been craving her forgiveness for so long and I would do anything for her forgiveness. I would do whatever it takes to make her happy. I would do anything to erase the pain I had given her four years ago. Camille, give me a last chance.

Since I knew about Colette I drove to a public park to meet her, but she didn't show up that day. I waited for hours after hours but she didn't come so I returned to my penthouse. Rika was sitting there and using my laptop. "What are you doing with my laptop?" she jumped up when she heard my voice.

Quickly shutting the laptop she sprang to her feet, looking nervous. "Um...I was just..." she was searching for the right word but it didn't come out of her mouth. I walked over to her and reached out for my laptop behind her before opening it and looking at the pictures. "Why are you searching for Conan Arthur?" I frowned when I saw his image on the screen.

"I just..." she swallowed hard, her fingers fidgeting and her chest rising and falling due to rapid breathing. "I wanted to know about him." She inhaled deeply. "I know this guy."

"Obviously everyone knows him, Rika. Don't you know he won an Oscar?"

"I used to date him in high school," she laughed nervously. "I didn't know him by his real name because I had made him promise that he would never ask about my true identity and he never told me his real name either. He used to have a different name in high school. I used to call him Crap and he gave me the name Betty." She inhaled before continuing. "I betrayed him and stole all his money."

What the fuck! I so badly wanted to laugh but held back.

"Conan Arthur..." she mumbled, shaking her head in agitation. "I got a call from him an hour ago. He was threatening me."

"What did he threaten you with?" I raised my brows.

"He told me he would auction my house and leave my parents on the streets."

Finally, I broke into laughter, shaking my head. "Are you kidding me, Rika? Isn't he Camille's boyfriend? Why don't you ask for help from your dear Camille?" I said sarcastically.

"Do you think this is funny?" Tears welled in her eyes as she barked at me. "You should have heard how dangerous he sounded. I took his money because my father was ill and I needed money so badly. I was helpless at that time but that didn't mean I was a terrible person. I never wanted to break his heart but he wanted to marry me and I had no option other than tricking him. I just dated him for fun, nothing else."

"But the poor guy took it seriously." I scratched my chin. "What an interesting story you two have. I even made a movie about it. I bet this one is gonna be hit."

"Fuck you, Scott!" Rika lashed out at me before she stormed out of my penthouse.

"Rika, stop!" I yelled behind her and grabbed her hand to prevent her from entering the elevator. "I'm sorry."

Tears fell from her eyes as she wiped them away from her face. Dammit! She was really sad. "I must meet Camille before her so-called boyfriend destroys my life. My parents have been through a lot because of me. Because of my past, I don't want them to suffer anymore. I need to stop him by any means."

"I can help you with it," I said and her eyes bugged out in surprise.

"Why do you want to help me?"

I smirked, "I need you to do me a favor.".

"I won't sleep with you if this is what you're thinking about."

"I told you I was faithful to Maura."

"So what do you want me to do?"

"I'm offering you my secretary job. You need to become my real secretary, Rika."
