~ HOURS EARLIER ~ SAND CASTLE~ PARTY~

"Ahhh! F^ck! Keep digging that shit into me" Lenora moan out in satisfaction while Matteo kept f^cking her.

They were at the back room while the party kept going on in the other room.

"Oh my gosh! Am gonna cum!" Lenora said and Matteo lifted her off the floor and against the wall, slamming hard into her.

They both released and for a while, they stood that way, trying to steady their breath.

"As usual you were great" Matteo compliment while buckling his belt.

"Great enough for you to dump Luna for?" Lenora asked and Matteo sighed out.

"Are we going to talk about Luna again?" 

"Yes. You keep f*king me while you go around with that duck, introducing her as your girlfriend. I also want to be introduced as your girlfriend"

"What's funny?" Lenora ask when Matteo burst into laughter.

"If I were to leave Luna, what exactly will you offer me? Your body?" 

"The only thing you've got is your pretty face and good body and as for Luna, though she lacks with the face thing, she's more stable. You know am a new recruit and I don't know when I will be layed off but dating Luna has help me secure a strong hold since she's close to Mariano" Matteo added.

"So, am only good for s*x?" Lenora asked.

"Bingo. Now stop thinking hard about it, it will only wear you off. I need to go out there and play the sweet boyfriend once again, see you around" He said and left.

Lenora tighten her fist in anger.

With two glasses in hand Bianca went to where Mariano was seated.

She glared at the two girls seated by his side and immediately, they stood up.

"Drink this" Bianca offered Mariano but he decline.

Though Camila had confirm to him that Lucas is not his son, he can't help but to think about it.

"This place is noisy, why don't we find somewhere more quiet" Bianca whispered into his ear before licking it.

"Am not in the mood" 

"But am all prepared you know, have got no panties under this dress of mine" Bianca said trying to make him want her but he stood up and left.

At one side of the party room stood Mariano, who was trying to diminish his thoughts with a glass of vodka.

"Boss, just as you've request. The fence has been rebuilt again" A man in his late fifty, who is the oldest and head of security inform.

"Okay Martin" Mariano replied, turning back to continue with his solitude.

"You must be thrilled to meet your son " Martin said and Mariano turn to him.

"Son?" 

"The little kid who came looking for you today. Though I saw him briefly, I could see the resemblance between you two, he looks exactly like you" Martin explain.

"You've got it wrong. He's not my son" Mariano replied, confusing the old man.

"Really? I thought he is, with everything that happen ten years ago I..."

"What happen ten years ago?" Mariano asked, cutting the man off.

"Remember back then that I had sprain my ankle, I went to the hospital for a check up and saw Sabrina with Lucas mother" 

"They both looked nervous, especially Sabrina. I didn't get to ask more since they hurriedly went off but then I overheard the nurse saying something about A...how did she call it again...something about art" Martin said, scratching his head.

"Artificial insemination" Mariano said and Martin nodded.

"I don't know why it's hard to pronounce" 

"Tell me something. Was Sabrina holding a little box when you ran into them at the hospital?" 

"Yes! She was holding a box, I remember clearly cause I found the box weird" Martin replied.

"Thanks Martin" Mariano said and left a dazed Martin on his own.

Mariano left the party hall and was heading to the room given to Camila when he came across Cora.

"This is Lucas, right?" Mariano asked starring at the back bag with Cora.

"Yes" 

He took it from a confuse Cora and pour out it content.

Taking Lucas tooth brush, he return every other thing in to the bag.

"Whatever happen, Camila must never know that I took this" he said to Cora before leaving.

Some minutes later, Alexis join Mariano in his study.

"You called for me, boss" 

"I need you to get a DNA test done for me" 

"Right now? " 

"Yes and if it's possible, I want the result tonight" 

"But that will be hard boss. Have often heard that it takes up to two to three days for you to get the re..."

"That will be too late for me. I want the result tonight, tell whoever is in charge that I am the one requesting for it. No one will dare refuse me" Mariano said with authority and Alexis quickly went to do his bidding.

*****

When Lucas finally slept off, Camila kissed his forehead and went to the balcony to stare at the night sky.

She could hear the music coming from downstairs but that didn't stop her thoughts from wandering off.

Once again, she let herself drift to ten years ago.

 ~ FLASHBACK ~ HOSPITAL ~

 *

"Must you really do this?" Camila asked as she followed Sabrina into the hospital.

"I have to. I told you that there's no way am losing Mariano and if I have to get pregnant with his child then so be it" Sabrina said firmly.

They were led into the doctor's office who made it clear to them that it's impossible for Sabrina to undergo the insemination since she has a problem with her uterus.

"So, am destined to never become a mother right?" Sabrina said sadly.

They had left the doctor's office and were now seated at the corridor.

"There's always a chance for you to be a mom. So stop brooding over it and also, let's get rid of the insemination thing" Camila told her friend.

"I can't! It was hard for me to steal this and now, I should let it go just because I have a problem!" 

"Then what do suggest we do cause there's no possibility that you will get pregnant even with Mariano sperm in you" Camila said, wanting her friend to be realistic.

"You can do it then. You've got no problem carrying his child, right?" Sabrina said suddenly.

"What! There's no way am going to have that man's child. You know I don't like him" 

"I know but can't you do this for me? You help carry the child and when it's born, I take the child and present him to Mariano as ours" Sabrina explained.

"This is insane. I can't do it Sabrina, I just don't see myself doing it, you will have to find someone else or you stop this madness once and for all" Camila said.

She stood up to leave but a hit on the back got her losing conciousness.

Camila woke up some hours later to find herself in one of the hospital room.

"You are awake" a nurse said, smiling brightly at her.

"What happen?" 

"You fainted and was brought here to rest" the nurse replied.

"What about my friend?"

"The lady, she left a while ago. It was hard for her to watch the insemination take place and..."

"Insemination? What insemination?" Camila asked and the nurse looked a little confuse.

"Er...it's the one where a sperm is injected into one's body "

"Don't tell me the insemination took place in my body?" Camila asked, looking very pale.

"It did. I thought your friend told you about it before it happen" the nurse said.

"Well, she told me to give this letter to you" The nurse added before leaving the ward.

With shaky hands, Camila read it's content.

★ I KNOW THAT YOU WILL HATE ME FOR DOING THIS TO YOU AND AM SORRY BUT I JUST CAN'T LET IT GO WHICH IS WHILE I LET THEM DO THE INSEMINATION ON YOU. IF YOU END UP GETTING PREGNANT DON'T ABORT THE CHILD, I PROMISE TO COME BACK FOR THE BABY ★

Camila crumple the paper and hope with all her heart that she won't end up with a child but at the end, she did.

Finding out about the pregnancy some few weeks later. Camila went in search of Sabrina since they didn't see each other after the incident.

On getting to sand castle, Camila was told about Sabrina's death and she decided then and there to leave Italy and start afresh with her unborn child.

 END OF FLASHBACK

 *

A knock on the door brought Camila back to the present.

She was hesitant to open the door at first since she didn't want to see Mariano but when Cora told her it was her.

Camila let her in.

"I came to give you this. I found it in the sitting room" Cora said, giving to her Lucas back pack.

"Thanks" Camila said, expecting the girl to leave but then Cora turn to her.

"Can I please stay with you for a while. I don't want to go to the party since am avoiding someone" Cora said.

Camila could feel that she wasn't lying and so, she let her in.

"Mind if I ask, who are you avoiding?" Camila asked as they both settled on the sofa.

"Paolo"

"And who is he?" 

"One of *The Savages* "

"And who are The Savages?" Camila asked.

"Mariano's men. They call themselves that since they are a group" Cora replied.

"And aren't you one of them?"

"No. Actually, I just came back from California. I was living here some few years ago but after getting a scholarship in one of the middle school in California, I had to leave"

"But I came back to stay with Mom and also to help Mariano. Am an accountant" Cora added.

Camila gave a nod.

"Then this Paolo guy took one look at you and decided to pursue you?"

"How did you know that? Your a genius" Cora said, Camila laugh.

"It's easy to guess. So, are you going to accept him or not?"

"Never! He's good looking and very good at what he does but then I don't like his personality. He's just not my type" Cora said.

"Have you told him then?"

"Countless of times but he keeps pursuing me and I know that he's only after sleeping with me which is why, I will never give him a chance"

"Was Lucas father like that too when he was pursuing you?" Cora asked.

"He was a bit gentle but let's not talk about him, let's talk about you instead. Tell me more about yourself" Camila change the subject and Cora was too pleased to talk about herself than to notice the nervous look on Camila.

The rest of the night was spent with them talking and bonding.

~ MORNING ~

As soon as Mariano heard the door, he stood up from the chair, where he spent the night waiting for Alexis return.

"What took you so long!" Mariano yelled at him.

"They were all trying to get your work done" Alexis replied.

Snatching the paper from him, Mariano read it's content.

"It match. You are the kid father" Alexis told him having been told of the result at the hospital.

"Where's Camila right now?" 

"I just saw her getting into the car with the little boy" Alexis replied.

"Get my car ready. Camila mustn't leave with my son" He ordered brusquely...
