Chapter 44

"That woman!" Hazel suddenly remembered what Melanie had made her go through as soon as the glass of wine Zach's maid had offered her touch her lips. The glass of wine made her remember Melanie that was drinking orange juice earlier and the insult she had received from her.

"What is it, G?" Zach groaned and settled on the couch before her.

"Melanie," Hazel tightened her fist around the glass of wine. When she couldn't contain her anger any longer, she smashed the glass on the floor.

"Woman, this is my house!" Zach frowned.

"Melanie is a pain in my neck. That woman insulted the hell out of me!" Hazel screamed in fury.

"She did?" Zach creased his brow in surprise.

"YES! She called me names no one had ever called me! She insulted me. Old man, we need to punish that woman as soon as possible. I'm even tired of staying at that mansion. Arrrgh!" Hazel ran her hand through her hair in anger.

"If you had said she is seductive, I would accept. But insultive? Wow," Zach chuckled.

"Why? Did she seduce you?"

"I've known her way before she married Flynn. If trained, that woman can be a p0rnstar. She seduced me, knock me down, and ran away with my money," Zach shook his head and Hazel spaced out, with her mouth twitched as if coming up with an idea.

"I have an idea," Hazel smirked.

"You want us to ruin her marriage by telling Flynn about it?" Zach chuckled.

"Exactly. Flynn will feel betrayed and might even send her packing," Hazel snapped her finger twice.

"Hehehe, you think I have not done that? I felt embarrassed when I realized it didn't change Flynn's feeling for that woman.''

"That can't be," Hazel shook her head in disbelieve.

"We need to come up with a plan to ruin Flynn and the only way to go about is hurting his wife. Jokes apart, Flynn loves Melanie, even more, that he might have loved you," Zach said and started to pour wine inside his glass cup, ignoring Hazel that stares daggers at him.

"Do you really need to mention that? What if he loves her more than he had loved me?"

"You love to ignore the fact. Well, we need to come up with a plan as soon as we can. Flynn can only accept you back if that woman leaves."

"And you think she will leave so easily?" Hazel rolled her eyes.

"Tsk… I can't believe you are dumb with your smart look. We should make her leave if she doesn't want to. I know a way to hurt both Flynn and her at the same time, it's like killing two birds with one stone," Zach smiled and poured the rest of the wine in the glass cup inside his mouth.

"How?" Hazel leaned forward hurriedly.

"Huh. First, we need to make sure…" Zach then explained his plan to her and a wicked smirk formed on Hazel's lip.

Camila entered the office slowly and held her breath as she saw Flynn standing by the window shade. Mere seeing at his backside, Camila felt nervous and almost forgot the reason she came to see Flynn.

"Hi,'' She forced a smile and Flynn turned to look at her.

Flynn sighed softly when he saw Camila, why did this woman want to meet him? Was it just to him because he felt Camila had changed so much from the last time he saw her?

She looked different and like she had added more weight.

''HI."

"It has been long since we last saw each other," Camila smiled embarrassedly and suddenly remembered that they met a few days ago.

Ugh!

"I don't think so. You came to my house a few days ago," Flynn said with a straight face.

"Yeah, you are right. It seems like I haven't seen you in months," Camila said uncomfortably.

"Would you like to sit down? I see you have something to tell me."

"I am pregnant."

Flynn felt his ear had just failed him as what Camila said rang in his ear.

She is pregnant?

Oh, that must be one of her plans to snatch him away from Melanie since she was obsessed with him.

He scratched his ear and look at Camila who had a calm look on her face.

"I didn't get that."

"I said I am pregnant and you are not the father," Camila forced herself to be well composed as she said those words.

''Oh," Flynn breathed out in relief.

If he wasn't the father, why did she break the news to him then?

"But…"

"I am sorry for all I have caused you and your wife. I apologize for being so obsessed with you. It was my fault, I kept clinging unto a love that was never there.''

Flynn creased his brow in confusion.

What was wrong with Camila?

"Camila…"

"I mated with another man to get pregnant so I was going to pin the baby on you," Camila smiled.

"What stopped you?"

"I realized that shit is not going to last long. You don't love me. I want to be loved, I don't want forced love. You love Melanie, even if you accept the baby, you will never accept me."

"Camila…"

"I found my baby daddy, and he will take full responsibility for my baby and me," Camila touched her stomach and massaged it gently.

"Who is he?"

"Reld Walton," Camila answered.

"Reld from Texas?" Flynn raised his brow.

"He is from Texas?" Camila raised her brow and Flynn laughed.

"You have no idea where your baby daddy comes from?"

"Bad of me, right?" Camila laughed and Flynn nodded his head.

"Well if it is the Reld I know you are talking about. Trust me you are in safe hands. He is totally cool.''

"You know him?"

"We studied in Italy together for five years and we've done few businesses together. He's a cool guy," Flynn nodded his head.

"Cool," Camila smiled.

"Camila," Flynn called out.

"Huh?"

"I am also sorry for everything. I'm sorry I mistook you for Hazel six years ago. I am sorry for what I did that night. I am sorry because everything is my fault. I am the cause for your obsession and I am sorry for not giving you what you wanted. Trust me, my heart can't be controlled. You deserve the best guy in the world. It would be very nice if you can open your heart for Reld. He is a totally cool guy, trust me," Flynn smiled and Camila smiled back.

"It is fine, Flynn. I hope we can remain friends? I don't wanna lose a good person like you. Trust me, there will be no string attached," Camila smiled and Flynn nodded his head.

"Sure, why not. I am cool with it."

"Thank you. I should get going. He is going to be at my house soon," Camila said and Flynn nodded his head and walked her to the door.

He smiled as he watched her walk out of the door the close the door.

Things were falling into place, with Hazel gone, things will be perfect.

He felt his throat burning up, he rushed to the bathroom and disposed the saliva that had piled up in his mouth.

Well, he had thought.

He widened his eyes in horror as he saw the blood that he had just patted.

Oh, maybe things were never going to be perfect even with Hazel gone.

Camila breathed heavily as she grab the knob of the gate slowly. Why the hell was she feeling nervous because Reld was behind the gate?

She arranged her hair with her left hand then turned the knob of the gate slowly.

A wide smile crept on her cheeks as soon as she saw Reld with a bouquet, smiling at her. Wow, his smile was so wonderful.

"Thank you so much for saying what I wanted to hear, pretty. You made my day, I swear."

''Would you at least come in?" Camila raised a brow.

Reld smiled and gestured to her to take the bouquet which Camila snatched without a second thought.

"Thank you," she smiled as she sniffed the bouquet and moved away for him to enter.

"You love flowers?" Reld asked as he closed the gate.

"I love them. They are so wonderful and I love to receive them," Camila smiled and clutched it to her chest.

"Have you ever received any?"

"No, you are the first to give me flowers."

Reld smiled and opened the door and ushered her inside.

He was quite glad that he was the first to give her flowers.

As he trailed behind her, he vowed silently that he was going to be the reason behind her smiles.

Melanie sat on the bed, licking the vanilla ice cream Flynn had gotten for her on his way from work. She watched Flynn who walked out of the bathroom, smiling at her.

"You can't believe what your damned ex-wife did to me today," Melanie mumbled as she removed the spoon of the ice cream from her mouth.

"What did she do?"

"She told me to watch after Beverly and she left the house. She came back after four hours had passed," Melanie shook her head and put the spoon that had ice cream on it in her mouth.

"Really?" Flynn raised his brow.

Honestly, he did not know what to say but he must say something too else, his wife was going to sulk over it.

Wait, how about he change the topic entirely?

"By the way, Camila came to my office today," Flynn answered and watched Melanie remove the spoon from her mouth slowly and fix her gaze on him.

"Why?"

"She came to apologize," Flynn answered and opened his closet.

"She came to apologize or came for a quickie?" Melanie frowned her face and Flynn burst into laughter.

"Babe… she came to apologize. She apologized for being so obsessed and said she found someone who wanted her. She is carrying his child," Flynn explained and removed his pajamas and closed the closet.

"Camila is pregnant!?'' Melanie screamed and Flynn laughed.

"Yes and I am not the father, don't get worked up," Flynn said amidst laughter and started to wear the pajamas.

"No wonder she looked robust the last time she came here. And here I am, still skinny. Ah…" Melanie shook her head and Flynn laughed.

"You…" Flynn started then began to cough.

"Are you good?" Melanie asked and dropped the ice cream and stood from the couch.

Flynn raised his hand to stop her from coming towards him. He covered his mouth and rushed to the bathroom, he locked the bathroom from behind and hurriedly vomit inside the sink.

"Flynn!" He heard Melanie's voice as she started to hit the door.

After he had finished vomiting, he washed his face, ignoring the calls from Melanie, he calmed himself and walked towards the door.

As soon as he opened the door, the wave of nausea suddenly hit him, and the headache eating him up. He dashed into the bathroom and Melanie followed swiftly.

"Babe…"

Melanie began to cry as she patted Flynn who was vomiting.

Flynn cursed himself inwardly, the last thing he wanted is his wife seeing him in this condition.

He washed his face and turned to look at his wife who was crying uncontrollably.

He suddenly felt dizzy as he tried to touch her face.

"Babe, what is wrong with you?" Melanie cried and Flynn shook his head.

Flynn bit his lower lips as he tried to control his body that was taking over him. He looked at his wife through his blurry vision and fell on her, slipping into oblivion.

"Gosh, Flynn!" Melanie screamed and she fell to the ground slowly, unable to withhold Flynn's weight.

"Open your eyes! Flynn! Help< somebody help, please! Kyle! Elle! You guys should come over, please! Open your eyes, babe!" Melanie screamed, crying profusely.
