Chapter 205 - 205: Future Mrs. Su
Back at the Su villa.
Camille who could not contain her happiness flashed a triumph smile. She got up from her chair and stood next to Evan. She didn"t mind the glare he was giving her, all she knew was that her heart was feeling so bliss with the news
She raised a hand and held his arm, she could feel how his muscles tensed up as if she has a contagious disease he should feel disgusted and avoid. She tossed her shame aside and held tightly on his arm, a proud smile on her lips, eyes shining with contentment, Camille wanted to shout and scream to let out her emotion.
"huh! What now Daniella? Didn"t I tell you that he will come back to me?" how she wished Daniella was right in front of her so she could boast and laugh at her face.
Karma, that"s what she called it. All the pain that Daniella was having right now was karma for all the bad things she had done to her.
"Hm… does she know that we are getting engaged?" she raised her chin to look at Evan. His usual serious expression was on his face and this was one of the things she loved about him. He was always serious as if the world was ending, Camille could still remember her school days with Evan. He might always be with his friend Glen and Evan but when she needed something from him, he was always there to help her.
She bit her lips when Evan looked at her, she felt the spark in their gazes but she knew that deep inside he was not feeling the same.
She gulped hard and smiled at him. One day, Evan will fall for her. They will get married and have kids something he will never get by marrying Daniella.
While her parents and Evan"s parents were busy talking about the engagement Camille stayed focus at Evan. Her mind hasn"t recovered by the news that they broke up.
"If you are done. I will take my leave," Camille blinked when Evan removed her hand from his arm. She felt his cold palms against her, it made her skin shivered indifferently.
She watched as he left the living room with shoulders sunken as if he lost a war. When her mother called out her name, Camille jerked her head in her direction and found her smiling though her eyes were glooming with worry
Everyone could see the cold treatment Evan gave to her. Even the maids around were looking at her with pity.
It will be a marriage for convenience but she was fine with it for as long as its Evan.
The life of being Evan"s wife which she has been dreaming since she was a teenager will finally come true. Her hands folded in excitement. The image of her in a wedding dress walking down the aisle with Evan waiting at the altar flashed in her mind causing for her lips to form a wide smile.
She walked toward the couch and settled on the chair she occupied earlier. Feeling her mother"s hand around her shoulder, Camille looked aside and gave her a smile.
"It will be alright mom. Don"t worry."
There was a slight fear thumping her heart but she tossed it aside and focused her mind to the future. Soon, she will be part of the Su that"s all that matter for her.

After Ken parked the car outside of his house. He looked at the pa.s.senger seat and found Daniella sleeping, his expression flattened when he heard her snoring. He thought earlier that it was his car making a weird sound but it was actually Daniella snoring like a bear that didn"t have sleep for years.
Slowly, he opened the door in his side and left the driver seat. He then opened the door of the pa.s.senger seat, bent and shook his head. Daniella didn"t even bother to put on her seatbelt.
He sighed, wondering if he should wake her up or let her sleep in the car. Tilting his head in confusion, Ken decided to pat her shoulder.
"Hey shorty, wake up."
But she didn"t wake up, not even move so he took a step back and rested both hands on his h.i.p.s, thinking what to do next.
In the end, he decided to go back to the house leaving her alone in the car. When he came back, he had a blanket in his arm and lay it over her. Then he closed the door and went to the backseat, he lay down and bent his body into a ball like a small baby in the crib.
He was about to close his eyes when he noticed Daniella"s position. So he got up and adjusted the chair and lay back in the chair. He knew he could have carried her upstairs but a part of him was stopping him from touching her.
When Daniella opened her eyes, it was already light outside. She sat straight from slouching and stretched her arms. It"s already morning and seemed like she slept in the car.
Quickly memory from last night came rushing in her mind and as it did tears formed in her eyes once again.
Why? Why was she in so much pain. She reminisced the day she found out about James other woman and the pain was different than now. She scoffed bitterly, did her emotion to feel pain evolve too, it seemed so given that her heart was aching too much. Too much that she could no longer bear it.
When she looked at the backseat, she found Ken sleeping. His body curled into a ball and arms served as his pillow. He looked so big in the seat he was laying on. Poor seat, it"s still suffering from his weight.
While her eyes were staring unblinkingly at Ken, her fingers were ma.s.saging her engagement ring. She remembered throwing all the accessories Evan had given her but she just couldn"t throw away the ring.
She sniffed and stared at her hand, the pearl sparkled by the light coming from the sun. The memories from the time he proposed played again and she could not help but smile, a smile with pain. She was not expecting that the day will come where she would stare at the ring with tears in her eyes.
Her throat felt dry yet her eyes were so wet. Slowly, she removed her ring, stretched a hand and put it on Ken"s hand.
Then she opened the door and got off with a flat face yet tears remained in her eyes.
"We will do things together."
Ken"s words rang in her mind, making her chest feel tight. She took her luggage and left Ken"s place. He no longer needed to be around her as she was no longer Evan"s fiancé, she was no one to him now, probably someone who was once part of his life.
She knew he said that he will wait. But wait for what? Walking on the side road she asked that to herself. She no longer wanted to have revenge, what she wanted was a peaceful life. She wanted to be happy every day like she used too but now that he"s gone, her happiness disappeared as well.
She sighed and stopped the first taxi she saw on the street. The road was empty and peaceful people must be in the work now.
"What is he doing now?" She wondered herself. She fell asleep crying but what about him? Did he sleep good or did he sleep hurting?
Her mind kept making a question that related to him, she knew it was useless but for now, the only thing she could do to not kill herself was to think of him and pretend that he didn"t break up with her.
When she got into the taxi, she stated the address for the Su Villa. Evan packed all of her stuff but there was one thing she left behind which she needed to get.
