Chapter 3 FIRE OUTBREAK

My head echoed with past memories:

"Mummy Camilla took my toy."

"Mommy Camilla ate my food after beating me."

"Daddy, why did Camilla hate me so much?"

"Daddy Camilla won't let me touch her toys."

Camilla stood there as she recalled what her stepmother had made her go through since she was a child who had lost her mother to death.

The voice still echoes in her head, something that had happened years ago.

She was taken care of by her stepmother; sorry, I meant she was being maltreated and treated like a maid by her stepsister, mother, and even her dad.

Her stepsister Morgan made her father hate her. Not only did she do minor things to Camilla.

She went ahead, loving any young man that was interested in Camilla.

It got to some extent when they didn't fight for material possible, but affection and attention of a guy as though Camilla was undateable and now her husband?

Damn Bullshit!

"Were you talking to Sebastien just now? Camilla questioned, almost stuttering as she talked.

She was not really giving meaning to what she had heard at first.

"Ohh, you heard that, huh? Morgan asked, and her lips curled into a smirk. Well, I guess there is no point keeping this a secret since you already have a hint in your head.

"Yes, I was just talking to Sebastien, the love of my life, and yes, you can take a look at this." Morgan said and displayed her left hand for Camilla to see.

It was a beautiful, expensive diamond ring and had a unique rock in the center.

"Do you agree that this ring is a perfect one for the future, Mrs. Sebastian Anndragon?" Morgan asked as she strode her finger on her hair and was still shaking her hands for Camilla to see.

Camilla gasped for air; she was suffocating. She couldn't absorb what was going on.

It was an expensive ring? He got a ring for her? Something he never did for her.

Her heart shattered into a trillion pieces; she had been with him for years, and he didn't get her one.

But had she gotten a ring for her stepsister?

"Awwwn, what a poor thing. I guess you are shocked, right? Do you think a handsome and wealthy man would settle for a fat pig like you?" Morgan asked; she was so proud of herself.

"How long has this... been happening?" Camilla finds herself asking, her head spinning awkwardly.

"My sweetest, this had been happening for so long. You were just used by him to pass time till I got back." Morgan said and allowed Camilla to digest it.

"Sebastien has always loved me since we were kids, and you took him away from me, right? You are a gold digger! You know, with all the seduction and charm you have used on him, he still doesn't love you and never will."

Camilla boils as she hears Morgan talk shit to her face. This stepsister of hers was indeed shameless. She couldn't understand the audacity she had.

"That is not true." Camilla sneered as tears streamed down her eyes. "We are building a family. We were building a family before, and now you came to the picture? I know he will stay with our small family if he finds out." Camilla pouted with teary eyes.

"Family!" Morgan hissed "What are you talking about?

Camilla raised her eyebrows and didn't give a damn answer to her, but she can see Morgan gazing at her stomach.

"We would be welcoming Sebastien blood."

"A child?" Morgan sneered with disgust in her voice.

"Yes, a child! my dear step sister. Surprised?"

"Sebastian can't father a bastard, so you better go and find out who is responsible for that thing in there." Morgan said and took a step forward.

"I am sure you know he might rethink the divorce when he finds out about the pregnancy." Camilla said she was happy to see the defeat in Morgan's eyes.

"No fucking way is that bastard Sebastian's." Morgan said, shaking her head rapidly.

"This child belongs to Sebastien, and there is nothing that can change that." Camilla taunted.

"I see, you are nothing but a slut! Just like your mother." Morgan snapped, shutting daggers at Camilla.

"I won't watch you insult my mother and my baby. That is a hell no! So watch your stinky tongues."

Morgan hummed.

"If not what?" Morgan asked violently.

"What are you scared of, Morgan? That this little seed of mine will change everything, and Sebastien will take me back as his loving wife?

Morgan took a step closer. "How can a bastard change everything, huh?"

What the fuck, this woman's audacity and cruelty! She just called her growing baby a bastard?

Camilla boiled with anger as she bawled her fists into a ball, not wanting to do what her instinct wanted. She tried to compose herself.

But still, Morgan repeated her statement. "BASTARD BABY with a SLUT mother."

Camilla pushed her arms away, gave her a backwards push, and Morgan stumbled, her eyes filled with frustration, and she groaned loudly.

She screamed and knocked off the gas lamb on top of the table and threw a flower vase that was on the table at Camilla.

"Bastard!" Morgan screamed.

Acting with emergency hormones, she dodged the flower vase thrown at her, and unfortunately, she felt so hard on the floor.

As she held her stomach, screaming in pain, just then she sighted blood gushing out of her thighs. She looked down and saw herself seated in a pool of blood.

Just when she lifted her head, she saw her stepmother looming over her triumphantly; the smile on her face was palpable.

"Noo, my baby!" Camilla cried out in pain and fear.

Suddenly she was feeling hot; only then did she realize that the house had escalated to a fire. Her mother's house was booming with hot flames.

Camillawas lying on the floor; she couldn't even call Morgan to come help her because it was impossible.

Her head was bland; she tried to figure out what to do next, but her head felt empty.

The fire was developing so fast that she would be trapped soon if nothing was done.

"Help me, please!" She screamed, and Morgan laughed out loud.

Just then, an idea struck her head. She hurriedly stretched her hands to her bag, brought out her mobile, and dialed Sebastien's number.

She had to call him. "His baby is in danger, and he needs to save us." She thought.

Just after the fifth ring without Sebastien picking up, all her hope was gone.

Just as she was about to give up and prayed her last prayer, realization hit her on how stupid she was.

She was supposed to call an emergency and not a man that dumped her.

Immediately she was about to dial the emergency number; Morgan kicked her mobile out of her hand, and it fled so far.

She lost conscientiousness. But before she knew it, she heard a familiar voice.

"Camilla! Camilla woke up." The person called her name with a crying tone. She opened her eyes and found and was shocked to see Sebastien.

This was indeed the first time he had ever shown concern. The first time she had seen his eyes so warm with care.

Her mouth parted, but nothing came out. Just then she noticed the fire had gone down gradually, something that almost turned her to ashes.

"I will take you to the hospital now." Sebastien said and was about to lift her up when Morgan screamed out loud.

"Baby, I am hurt! Arggg... " Sebastien, without double thought, ran to Morgan and carried her in his arms.

He then signals the driver that had come with him to carry Camilla out.

Camilla wasn't shocked, but she felt as though the fire had caught up with her with just that single act portrayed by a man she called her husband.

That was when she realized that Sebastien really didn't love her. He had chosen Morgan over her.

Now she had to forget him. It was hard, but she will try to, and just then she lost consciousness.
