RETURNED AS A BILLIONAIRE HEIRESS!

(QUEEN-WAY VILLA)

"You killed Grandma! You hungry looking buffalo! " A slap followed on Camille's cheeks, it left hand-prints on her cheeks. That was Shania Rodrigo, Camille's mother-in-law.

Tears streamed down from Camille's eyes, her heart was racing. How did things happened so fast? She wasn't crying because of the slap but cried at the sight of the woman placed in the coffin.

Rina Rodrigo who was the only person one that loved her in the family... now, she's gone.

Rina doted so much on Camille that she signed a contract marriage with her in order to marry her grandson, Diego.

"Please mother, not today.. grandma is gone. Don't, don't...do this," Camille told her in a shaky voice. Shania scoffed.

"Stop playing the victim card! I know you're a snake! You poor filthy thing!" Shania didn't care about the guests present, she pushed Camille to the floor.

Camille's heart ached, she's a nobody so everybody treats her like a dirt including her husband, the mommy's boy. Diego Rodrigo.

"Grandma!" Diego stormed into the funeral with a fierce look, he ran to where they had placed his grandma, his eyes reddens and he balled his fist, with rage, he matched towards Camille.

Camille struggled to get up but instead, Diego pulled her up angrily, he grabbed her neck, "What did you do to grandma! I left for only two days!" Diego yelled while Camille tried to breathe as he's choking her.

"I..I..can't breathe..." She managed to say but Diego didn't listen. Fury and anger was the only thing that filled him.

Shania brought out some papers, "Look what this poor thing planned with grandma! She made grandma signed a contract to marry you! I never wanted her into the family!" Shania told her son, Diego let go of Camille's neck and took the papers.

Camille fell weakly to the floor, tired and restless, her vision became so blurry but she could still hear Diego's conversation with his mom.

"You signed a marriage contract?! Tsk, what for?" Diego yelled not minding if Camille was dying on the floor.

"Your grandma-" Camille tried to defend herself, She loved Diego so much that when Rina offered her the contract, she accepted instantly.

"You have nothing to say! You ripped grandma off, you witch! You took advantage of the poor old woman! You should be sent out!" Tiana chipped in from the crowd, she was the wealthy girl Shania wants her son to marry.

Tiana came closer to where Diego stood, locked her arms around his, "I'm here for you, Diego," She whispered.

"Tell me Camille, did you freaking kill grandma because of this contract?!" Diego yelped but Camille was too weak to reply him.

A sharp pain crept into Camille's stomach that she started crying and holding her stomach but none of them cared not even Diego.

"Look at her shedding crocodile tears!" Tiana mocked moving closer to where Camille is, kicked her stomach so hard.

"Send this evil girl out of this house! She deceived the entire family!" Shania added

"Go die!" Tania added kicking Camille's stomach harder, Camille gasped for air and the pain became so unbearable that she started bleeding between her legs but she was too weak to scream for help.

Her baby is dying.

Slowly, their voices became echo to her ears, Camille eyes started shutting slowly till she could no longer hear them. She fell unconscious.

**

Camille's eyes peeled opened, a very unpleasant smell ran to her nostril, the scent of a hospital, she was right, she landed on the hospital bed after she had passed out.

A doctor came in, "Finally you're awake," The doctor said while Camille managed to sit upright, she rub her stomach.

"How is my baby? Please tell me it's okay? Please..." Camille almost cried as she saw the look on the doctor's face.

It can't be what she's thinking, this baby is her only chance of survival, the Rodrigo will never let her know peace.

"I'm sorry Camille, Your husband told us to remove it since you were in Coma for two days, the baby was dying too," The doctor announced.

Like Camille had lost her hearings, what did she just heard? Diego had them remove her baby?!

Tears formed in Camille's eyes, her heart was fuming, "You should have let me die with my baby! You should have just.." Tears didn't let her finish her words.

**

The cab man stopped at the Queen-way villa, Camille alighted from the cab, the nurses had told her Diego paid for her discharge in advance but didn't bother checking up on her.

Camille angrily stormed into the house, it was back to normal like nothing happened, Shania and Tiana were at the living room, watching a movie when she walked in.

"Look who has crawled back in here? Lovely!" Shania sarcastically said.

Camille rolled her eyes, if only her rage could tear down the whole house that moment, "Where is your son!"

"And who do you think you're to ask for him?! You bewitched grandma to take sides with you but now, no one wants you!" Shania fired back.

Camille scoffed throwing away the fears she once had for her mother-in-law, " I'm still his wife! Get me Diego! We need to talk!" Camille raised her voice.

"Tsk, imagine her guts!" Tiana whispered with a sneer but instead Camille ran towards the staircase.

"Diego! Diego! Come out!" Camille called and Diego appeared at her front, "You filthy jerk! Diego..you-"

"I don't think I have anything to say to you other than the divorce," Diego interrupted and Camille jaw dropped.

What's he saying! Camille was taken aback completely, what sort of heartless jerk is he?!

"W-what?"

"You heard me Camille, I'm divorcing you,"

2:

Camille jaw dropped, her eyes searched through Diego's but found nothing like sympathy.

Shania and Tiana gasped, they were not surprised but instead, happy.

"Are you seriously telling me that? Not after you destroyed my child!" Camille yelped with fury.

"Tsk, Did you really want me to believe that lie?! How sure are you that the baby is mine!" Diego fired back, Camille was taken aback.

Yes, Diego was so drunk and mistook Camille for Tiana that very night, he slept with Camille though She didn't mind if it was Tiana's name he was mentioning throughout the night, she was elated she had her first night with Diego.

But,, now he's denying the baby? Camille felt nothing but pure betrayal and heartbroken. All she did was love him.

"You're a jerk! You're nothing but a jerk! I loved you with all of my heart, Diego!" Camille wailed, tears gathered in her eye and poured out like a running water.

"No one asked to love me. I made it clearly that I was only marrying for the sake of grandma. I never loved you neither will I," Diego mentioned unfazed.

"Finally! My son is coming back to his senses," Shania added smiling looking at Tiana with beams.

"I,,swear you will all regret this, I will make y'all pay!" Camille growled but Tiana laughed from where she stood.

"Did you just say 'make us pay?!' You should be regretful we aren't suing you for defamation! Tsk, Have you looked at yourself in the mirror and see why you should never be here!" Tiana rasped with a snarl

"Mark my words, I, Camille Dante will make sure everyone of you pay for killing my innocent child!" Camille cried with heavy heart.

"Expect he papers tomorrow morning. "Diego said, he turned and left the place.

Camille crumbled to the floor, her knees bruised due to falling earlier but she cared less.

"Get a life, fake ass," Shania spat on her face as she also walked out followed by Tiana.

Camille stood up and walked aimlessly out of the living room as well, she was barefooted going out of the house with tears streaming out her eyes.

Not paying attention to where she's headed, the horn of a moving car made her jolt back to reality and by the time she lifted her head, a car was coming at her direction on a high speed.

Weak to move out of the way, she stood still waiting for the car to hit her, "Get out of the way!" Someone's voice interrupted and felt a masculine figure wrapped around her as she was pulled out of the way.

"Are you crazy?! Are trying to die?" The voice growled but everything sounded like an echo to Camille's ear,

"You,,you have let me die-" She couldn't finish up her words when she passed out on the man's chest, her tears dropped on his vest.

FEW HOURS LATER

"Argh, my,," Camille opened her eyes, her thiny blue eyes landed on an unfamiliar chandelier, she quickly sit upright.

"Where am I.. How did I get here," She questioned looking around.

"Finally, you've woken up. I was just thinking if I should take you to the hospital, are you okay?" A tall man came in just right in time, he held a cup of water on his hand.

Camille furrowed her eyebrows, "Who are you?" She queried getting up from the bed.

"Easy, you just woke up," The man tried to calm her down but Camille wasn't buying his sympathy.

The man surrendered, "Okay, I was the guy that saved you from getting hit by the moving car. This is my vacation house, You should rest a little more," He added

Camille remembered what had happened earlier, she was almost hit by a car. Her face lightened up a bit and she bit her lower lips.

"Thank you mister but I have to leave,"

She was already leaving when the man came out with a pair of white sneakers.

"Wear these at least, don't tell me you want to go barefoot?" He offered while Camille hesitated.

"Err,,,"

"Don't give me no for an answer, Wear them," The young man cut her off and bend over to her feet, placing her small leg into the sneakers.

Camille felt warmth with his gentle touch, why couldn't Diego be like this? She thought.

"Thank you, bye." She simply mumbled under her breathe walking out of the premises.

NEXT MORNING

Camille packed her bags, she had brought few things into the house after she got married to Diego. She loved the house at her first time but not anymore, it's hell.

"Do you even deserve to take anything from here? You should leave with nothing isn't it?" Shania interrupted as she stood at the door way with Tiana behind her.

Camille scoffed but continued packing her clothes. "I'm leaving your house for good. It's all useless at the end of the day, you both and have your extravagant life!" She snapped getting up with her briefcase.

Diego walked into the room, "Come out, the divorce lawyer is outside," He announced while Camille walked past as she went to the guest parlor.

The divorce lawyer seated in the parlor as he checked the papers careful, he lifted his head when he noticed the appearance of Camille.

"Good morning, Camille," The man greeted

"Yeah, Mr Ethan. Where is the divorce paper?" Camille asked nonchalantly.

Mr Ethan placed the paper on the shelf, Camille took it and read the content on it.

"I don't need the money stated here. I will sign the papers without collecting a dime from the Rodrigos" Camille clarified.

Diego who was standing at the door way sniffed, "I'm trying to be nice here, take the damn money so I won't have to pay any money in the future," He blurted

Camille folded her fist, "I'm not a cunning person like your family. I don't want anything from you. Get it?" She snapped grabbing the pen and signed on the paper.

"I'm no longer Camille Rodrigo. I'm Camille Dante as of now. Have a miserable life!" Camille shrieked as she walked out of the house.

Four years of loving Diego came to nothing but waste.

Camille stood at the bus station, the cold breeze lifted her flawless hair, looking like an homeless lady. Yeah, she's an homeless lady.

Then all of a sudden, two black SUV car pulled over at her front, she squinted her eyes, who are they?

Two guys came out of the car, they were putting on suit and glasses on their face. "Finally miss Camille, we found you," One of them said and it made Camille wondered.

"Please who are you?"

"We work for your father, he asked us to bring you home, Leonard Guevara."

Camille blinked repeatedly, is she hearing them well? Leonard Guevara? The only Leonard Guevara she knew in the city was one of the richest man in the world.

How,, how did he suddenly became her father??

Guevara Villa

"Welcome home, my beloved! I'm sorry it took so long before I found you," Leonard Guevara exclaimed and 10 other maids lined up to welcome Camille.

Camille stood at the door-way and looked at the man before her, it was truly the billionaire. Leonard Guevara.

He owned lots of companies in the city likewise the top notch hotels, he's filthy rich even the Rodrigo can't beat him to it.

'How is he suddenly my father?' Camille wondered.

"How-how are you my father? How come? How am I a Guevara?" Camille asked curiously.

She's a nobody, a poor orphan that grew up in the streets before Rina took her in. who's pulling such prank on her?

"I'm sure you have a lot of questions for me already but why don't you have a rest and let's talk tomorrow. I heard from my guards that you went through a lot today," Leonard offered instead.

"But.."

"Irene?" The man called making Camille swallow up her words. The lady called came out of amidst the maids that lined up.

"Yes sir," She answered with a bow.

"Take my daughter to her room, she needs rest," Leonard commanded then looked at Camille who was still dumbfounded by all what's happening.

"Have a good rest, daughter," With a smile, Leonard left.

"Let's go ma'am," Irene told her making Camille jerk back to her senses.

Her heart leaped when she heard the lady called her 'ma'am'. In all her 24years she has lived, no one has ever referred her as ma'am but instead they called her names.

Camille followed the lady as they both take a stroll down to a platinum door, with a name scribbled on the door, Sylvia Guevara.

"Here is your room ma'am. It has been cleaned and well arranged, there's a landline beside the bed so you can call me anytime if you need my help, I will leave now," Irene mutters while Camille gave her a nod and she walked away.

Camille twisted the door knob and walked into the room, her eyes went round and her mouth went apart, Even in the Rodrigo's house who always claim to be richer than anyone else don't have this type of room!

"Camille, isn't this a dream? I..." Camille rambled but she misplaced her steps and hit her toe on the edge of the bed.

"Ouch!" She groan in pain, "That hurts like crazy! Funny how the nature is trying to tell me this isn't a joke!" She shrilled and blow air on the bruise toe.

While she was at it, a knock came on the door. "Yes, please come in," She answered and the door opens, a stretcher was pulled in slowly with variety of foods on each tray.

"Nice to have you in the house maam, I go by the name Rosa. I handle the food in the house," The lady introduced while Camille nodded like an agama lizard

"So tell me, What will you like to have for brunch? Fruit salad? Pasta? Broccoli and beef? Which? Name it," Rosa asked.

"Anything, please."

"Alright ma'am, I will serve you beef and pasta," Rosa replied then clapped her two hands, two other ladies matched in with a table made with pure gold, the blinding glit almost blind Camille's eyes.

Rosa dished out the foods on the table, "Please enjoy and have a nice day," with that Rosa and the other ladies walked out of her room.

--

Later in the evening Camille was looking out through the transparent window and looked down at the people going to and fro on the street, the bad memories she had in the Rodrigo house came back to her, she squeezed her eyes shut.

"Daddy?" Camille called after thinking for a while, her heart filled with revenge.

Leonard was pleased to hear her call him that, "Yes, my daughter," He replied with his eyes glinted.

"Can I request for anything?" She requested turning a little bit to look at Leonard whose lips had drawn a thin line.

Leonard held her hand with tenderness, "Name it dear, you're the only blood I have, I want to make up for the times I let you suffer growing up on your own," He whispered softly.

"Make a CEO. At Guevara Holdings," She requested without hesitating.

Leonard eyes twinkled, "Why? Business is such an hassle, I don't want my child to go through all that," He pester but Camille eyes were saying another thing.

She has made up her mind, "I must be a CEO."

'That's the only way I can seek for my revenge'

"Consider it done. I'm calling the headquarters, when do you want your inauguration? Tell me child, I will do it," Leonard surrendered.

"As soon as possible,"
