CHAPTER 26
CAMILA’S POV
“Damon !?” An unfamiliar voice was heard in the living room and my eyes widen when I came to realization of whom that person was. It was Damon’s parents!
“I told you he won’t be home. That son of ours always buries himself in work.” Another voice spoke and footsteps were heard coming towards the kitchen.
“But I already called his secretary and asked him if he was there. They said he wasn’t.”
“Well maybe he’s out on a business trip or something”
“Oh he would never go on a business trip without telling us first, and you know that too!”
“Then where is he ?!” They were arguing while we all were in the kitchen and I was silently praying that Christina don’t say a word but I guess my prayers weren’t answered because she spoke right after that.
“Mrs. Alexander! We’re in here!” She shouted then we heard foot steps coming towards the kitchen and I mentally cussed at her. And there they were, A man in the his late 50s, with dark brown mixed with grey hair and had almost the same features as Damon. He had a cold expression on his face as he entered the kitchen and carried with him a cold and scary aroma with him and yes, I was a little scared of him because of that
Following him was a elderly woman but she looked a little younger than him, maybe in her late 40s but she was extremely beautiful for her age and unlike him, she carried a polite, happy aroma around her which made me relax a bit. She had a smile on her face as she entered the kitchen and I watched as she turned and began walking towards Christna, pulling her in for a hug.
“How are you dear?” She asked as soon as she pulled away and Christina put on the best fake smile she could.
“I’m doing very well m’am, and how are you ?, if you don’t mind me asking” she replied to the woman’s question then asked in such a sweet and innocent voice that will make anyone think she’s a total different person.
“‘M doing quite find too but I miss my son very much and decided to come visit him and now I see you’re here. Damon never use to let you in his house, how come now? Have he finally decided to listen to us and date you?” She went on asking and Christina blushed, looking over to me with a small smirk on her face and I mentally rolled my eyes at her.
“Oh well ma’am, Damon have been treating me better than before. He’s even took me out with Ethan for a family day at the amusement park” Christina responded with her twisted lies and I turned to look at Damon who looked even more angry than before.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Oh really? Did you hear that George? It looks like our son is finally listening to us” the woman said to her Damon’s dad and he just nodded his head.
“That’s really nice of him, I hope he can continue treating us as he is. I really think you guys will make a very good couple” she said to Christina before both her and her husband finally turned to meet Damon. They both send a smile to him then their eyes went to me which made my body tense almost instantly and I looked down to the floor.
“Mom” Damon greeted his mother with a hug then went to his father and do the same and the place then dropped in sudden silence as the parents of Damon eyes kept staring at me, making me uncomfortable. But thank God that Damon spoke up. He spoke up, breaking the silence by introducing me to his parents but was cut off before he could’ve even finish what he was saying.
“Oh um. Mom, dad.. This is Camila. She’s Ethan’s–”
“Mother” His mother cut him off and saying and my eyes widen almost immediately after she said that. How did she know?
“Mother?” Christina voice was heard and I looked to her to see she had a look of shock on her face.
“Yes, Camila is Ethan’s mother but How.. how did you know?” Damon replied to Christina then asked his mom with the look of surprise on his face and Christina looked like she was about to faint. His mother let outa little laugh, walking closer to me and I finched a bit when she placed her hands on my face ans cupped it then went on to speak.
“It’s not really hard to figure it out you know. I mean they do have the san eyes plus Ethan resembles her a lot”
“Well. it took me a while to figure it out but how did you figure it out that fast?” He asked, still looking a litle surprised and his mother rolled her eyes at him, pulling her hands away from my face.
“Oh well I guess since I’m a mother for a long time now.. I just know” she shrug then turned to face me again with a smile.
“I’m so glad you’re here. I know it was hard to find you since Damon was looking for you for a long time now but who knew you was right under our nose? How did he even find you?”
“Well .. I was looking for a job and came to his company to see if he can hire me to baby sit Ethan, since I was jobless, and he did” I replied and she nodded her head before turning to her husband who was just standing with a straight face.
“I told you we’d find her” she said to him, who just kept looking at me which made me a little sacred.
“So Camila, tell me how did Ethan end up at my son’s door step in the hands of another woman?” Damon’s dad finally spoke in a low, cold voice that made me even more scared. Will he believe me if told him that Ethan was stolen from me or will he not believe me.. like Damon? I gulp, about to reply but Damon beat me to it.
“About that, I misunderstood everything. She never left Ethan there to die.. Ethan was stolen from her by someone. I have the file with the evidence too, if you don’t believe me”
“I knew it! I just knew a girl like her won’t do such a bad thing! I mean look at her innocent face, can you even imagine her doing such a thing?” She asked, cupping my cheek.
Okay, Damon’s mother had changed to a bubbly, happy personality in no time and it made me a little surprised. She seems like a different person.
“Wait! What am I hearing? Is this a joke? Are you telling me that this bitch is the mother of Ethan? When? F ** king how?!!” Christina spoke after in a voice that said she didn’t understand or believe anything.
“Can’t you see?! Look at their eyes!” Elizabeth (Damon’s mother) scoff and said, rolling her eyes at Christian.
“And that’s not nice to say to someone. I thought you were a well behaved young lady Christina. I never knew you’d be this bad, calling someone else a name you wouldn’t want to be called” she continued, scolding Christina and I think she had it cause she just blew up after that.
“I don’t f ** king care !! I seriously don’t want this slut around here! And I don’t care if she’s Ethan’s biological mother but she won’t try to get her way into this family, so she’ll get rich, cause I’ll be the one who’l get married to Damon whether she like it or not !! So get her out of here! I do’t want to see her face again!”
And what she said left George and Elizabeth in shocked of her new behavior but I was glad that they can finally see her true color. Damon, on the other hand, looked pretty pissed like if he was about to kill her but it’s a good thing I held unto his arms to stop him from doing anything.
“How dare you talk about my daughter-in-law like that?” Elizabeth said with a gasp.
Wait what? Daughter-in-law? Is she thinking of marrying me to Damon already?
“Daughter-in-law ?! Are you f ** king kidding me?!! I thought I was the one to marry your son, not this whore !!” Christina said in an angry tone and I think Damon’s parents had enough of it.
“That’s it! Get out now! I don’t want to ever see you here or around Damon and Ethan again!” Elizabeth said to her and all Christina did was rolled her eyes.
“Get out!” A very loud voice shouted that made me flinch and I looked to see George shouting at her to leave and I think that made her scared. She trembled, grabbing her stuff and send me a glare before she turned around and stormed out of his house.
“Oh I never thought she was this type of girl. Did she change? Was she always like this?” Elizabeth asked, turning to Damon, who was still angry.
“Yes she was and I seriously didn’t know what you guys saw in her. Do you know how hard it was to get rid of her?” Damon spoke in a tone that said Christina was annoying and his mother rolled her eyes at him before turning back to me.
“Why don’t you tell me and George more about you?” She asked with a smile and I nodded my head before being dragged by her.
