Cameron's POV
Are you satisfied now? I asked her as she stop hitting me, when the security guard try to stop her, I asked them to let her be.
Never, I will never be satisfied till you stop existing. She said, it hurts they are my friends, we were family but right now, they all hated me, all of them, what did they all think? Did they think I am enjoying this pain?
You will only get satisfied if I stop existing? I asked then grabbed the security gun and gave it to her, she grabbed it from me. Go on and pull the trigger. I yelled as she point the gun at me. You can't? Her tears fall, as let go of the gun, and the security grabbed the gun.
Let's talk in my office. I said as I turned.
I don't want to share the same air with you. She said, I turned and look at her, she is my only ticket, if she understands me, things will be much easier, Alex will shift ground and it was only Alex that could make all of them change their mind.
If you don't want to talk to me, then you should as well shoot me. Go on and end my miserable life, do you think, I am happy? Do you think, I enjoyed everything happening to me? Do you think that Padgett is the only one suffering right now, do you think, I don't want peace, I live with a woman, that I hate with every part of me, each day, I wake up and see her by my side, I felt like I am drowning in my pain? She is the only person, I have ever had such a great hatred for...
Yet you are marrying her? She is still the one woman, you left Padgett for, the one woman you betrayed Padgett's love for, she is still the same person you are getting married to...
All of this is for Padgett.
Not this again. She said...
But it's the truth, the truth that Padgett's life will not be at peace if I don't get married to Berry, the truth that I sacrificed my happiness, so she could get a better life, dad was going to throw her out, I will rather be sad then enjoy all those luxury when I know Padgett had nothing, yes, I am getting married to Berry, so she doesn't come after Padgett...
Stop making up stories, she is already pregnant for you. Emerald's voice was dry and without emotions.
There is no baby, she is not pregnant, she only make all that up because she wanted my family's property, she wanted to Eliminate all of us, if I don't act this way, she might kill Padgett, even before, she thinks of killing any other members of the family, Padgett is her foremost target. If you think I am making up the story, you should ask Alex.
I am not here for that, all I want now is for you to stay away from Padgett and stop hurting her.
At least you listen. I said as I watch her turn, the security look at me, and I just wave for them to let her go, I walked slowly when I get to my office, I brought out Padgett's picture, I cried as I remember that after now, I might not be able to be with her anymore, and I will try to forget everything about Padgett, it will be difficult but it's for the best.
Padgett, my creamy, you should know I love you very much and all these are for you.
Emerald's POV
My face was looking all glooming when I return, only to find Ray, Alex, and Sutton together.
Where are you coming from? Alex asked as he hurry to me, leading me to the couch.
I went to see Cameron.
What? The three yelled. What did that bastards do to you? Alex clenched his fist as he pulled from me.
Hon! Stop it, he did nothing to me.
Are you sure? Ray asked.
Yes, I am fine, where are Emerald and Julia? I asked.
She is with Padgett, she didn't stop crying all morning, so we decided to give her sleeping pills. Sutton said.
Okay, is there something that you all know that you think we the female also need to know? I asked as I watch the faces of these men turn sour. Come on, you should tell me, we deserve to know, I know Cameron hurt Padgett but I felt he is also in pain.
Stop talking nonsense. Alex said then pulled from me, I know he is mad, mad at the fact that I brought Cameron's pain to notice.
Hon! I am not supporting him, but he made mention of something like he is doing all this because of Padgett, he is sacrificing his happiness for...
Let him sacrifice, if not for him, Padgett will not have been in this mess, he and his family brought it upon Padgett, so let him sacrifice, if not for him, Cassie will not think of hurting Padgett's mom...
Wait, are you saying Padgett's mom's accident was staged? We heard Julia's voice from behind, Sutton nodded, and in a few minutes, he had briefed us on everything about Rhonda's confession and how he help Rhonda, and presently, Padgett's life is still under harm.
Oh no!!! That means we will have to help Cameron.
What? Alex yelled.
Yes, Alex, you three should put your difference behind and let's look for a solution to our problem, we should find Cassie, and then we could get Berry down. I said.
But how do we find Cassie? Sutton said.
We barely have time for that, so I think we should just pull Padgett from that troubled family and that is all, case close. Ray said.
But do you think, Padgett will be happy if something happens to them, she will not forgive herself, she has grown to love them all and I know, she still has feelings for Cameron... I watch Sutton's face go sour. Sorry...
It's fine, I have let go of my feelings for her, probably I might be in love with someone else. Sutton said.
Tell us, is it, Rhonda? I said, Alex pushed my head slightly.
Stop deviating, let's look for the solution, and later, you can banter Sutton to the fullest. Alex said.
I think I have a way out. We all turned to Julia. Yes, Cassie has a family house, that, is off the town and we mostly go there when she wants to stay away from everyone, I am sure, she will be there.
Really?
Yes, let's try, Rhonda is also aware of his place.
I don't want to disturb Rhonda for now, she had gone through a lot, she has lost four years of her life because of that demon called Cassie and the likes of Berry. Sutton said.
Alright, let's leave her out of this. Alex said. From now, let's try to meet with Cameron.
So you are forgiving him? I asked.
Not so fast. The three said then grabbed their stuff.
Where are you going? Julia asked.
These women are something else. Ray said. One minute they send us on an errand and the never minute, they still asked about our whereabouts.
Silly, you all should go, and please be safe.
We will!!! The three said as they head out.
Emerald!!!
Julia!!!
We both turned, as we held called out to us.
Are you up? I asked.
Yes, why do I feel that you all drugged me? Padgett said.
Silly, we should... Her phone ping, as her eyes bulge out.
