CAMILLA' POV:
"Come in"
I was impatiently waiting for my PA. My eagerness was creased over my face moreover I was tapping my shoe on the floor.
The glass door opened and Mr Rhodes strode in obediently.
"Good morning boss."
As usual he greeted with politely.
"Good morning Mr Rhodes."
I greeted back for the first time in his service of
5 years with a warm smile.
I knew he would be shocked since last night. But I was sure that my current act surprised him more.
As he stared at me blankly while holding the file which I needed. I cleared my throat and asked him.
"File Mr Rhodes !"
"Ah yes boss !"
He handed me the file and began....
"Blah blah...."
Sure I'd trust him enough to handover this personal information.
A smirk painted my face and I told him to leave.
"Thank you Mr Rhodes. You're off now."
As he walked out n I leaned back in my chair began to processing everything according to the given information. And a grin appeared on my face , my devilish brain started to plan.
"You both toyed with me but now my game is on.
I'll play my cards now because I'm the boss here !"
I took out my cell phone and dialled to my father.
"Hello dad,
How's you doing ?"
I sounded with full energy.
"I'm all good honey. Better than ever as you're happy."
Mr Hudson replied with same energy.
"Uumm.....dad when you're visiting us ?"
I wanted to get on the point so lowered my voice if I were going to cry at that very moment.
"Are you crying honey ?
Camilla my child what happened ?
Is everything alright ?"
He became worried at once as expected.
"No dad I'm not alright. I'm not happy. Please come back."
I requested him like it was my utmost desire.
"Okey honey I'm coming.
But do tell me what happened ?"
He insisted onto listening.
I tried to sound like bursting in tears. Like an emotionally crippled woman I uttered.
"Dad I - I'm not happy with Ed. Please dad can you come back. I need you here with me."
"But Ed seems to be a nice guy honey. Did you two fight ? It's natural for a couple to fight."
He predicted.
"No dad we didn't. Just come back early I'll tell you. I'm waiting."
"Okey my child."
And he ended the call.
I glanced at the papers placed on my table.
~~~~
Name : Mr Hudson
Medical reports :
Only dabetic
"NO HEART PROBLEM"
~~~~
Somehow I found these reports from the hospital.
"Still trying to play games dad. Then I'm your daughter too. You faked that heart attack. Now get ready for my surprise. Ed you'll be a prey too."
I chuckled alone by imagining their reactions.
Again I picked up cell phone and texted to Ed.
"Honey dad is arriving today in a few hours. I'll be home by 08:00"
I knew he'd be at his company by now. According to my guard and Mr Rhodes' information he leaves the mansion after me about 30 minutes later. And back at home before my arrival. That's why I never bumped into him. Or got any clue about his work. Honestly I didn't take interest in his work or whereabouts.
"Just wait and watch my sweet husband Mr Eduardo Diego !"
Yes I know who he is.
But do I still hate him ?
"Nay ! I know he didn't support me at that time. But somehow I'm thankful to him, my transformation was all possible because of his rejection & now he was the one who brought me back, how could I hate him? But yes as rumoured he's nothing like that. Maybe he loved me so came back into my life.
Moreover my dad knew about him, firstly he placed forward his proposal when I refused then Ed popped up into my life from nowhere. Which I guess was planned too by both men. As dad has seen Eduardo but didn't react when I took Ed to the hospital when he faked that heart attack. But I do need some answers from both. For which I'm playing now."

EDUARDO' POV:
(ED POV)
"No sir I haven't done anything wrong. I don't know why she said this."
Mr Hudson called me and repeated Camilla's words.
"No sir she is happy. In fact we arrived back happily. And today when she left for work she sounded fine. I don't know why said something like that."
I tried to explain him my part.
Honestly I didn't know why Camilla said that she's not happy with me. When in real she is, as it's visible on her face. Her smile, blush all shows she's happy & enjoys my company.
She confessed her love for me but now all of a sudden why she said something opposite to it.
"You'll be arriving today sir and she'll be back home too let's wait for her to explain first sir. But I can assure you that I haven't done anything that would hurt her."
I was glad that Mr Hudson trusted my words. After all he knew that I loved Camilla since childhood. And no matter what I'd never hurt her and broke her heart again. I was given a chance by her own father why would I waste it by doing something stupid.
I ended the call and sat back in my chair.
Held my head between both hands. I was already tired because of so much work.
And glancing at the files laying on the table along with the name plate.
Written in golden it shined
EDUARDO DIEGO
(CEO OF DIEGO GROUP)
It reminded me of my great responsibility. But at the same time I was worried about what my wife said.
----------------------
"Sweety what happened ?"
Mr Hudson hugged his daughter tight and scooped her face with worrisome expressions.
"I'll tell you dad let's go in."
Camilla pulled his arm and they both walked towards the lounge leaving the bags there in the front hall.
"Ed my boy.....what's happening ?"
Mr Hudson saw him sitting in the lounge confused like hell.
"I don't know sir."
He simply replied.
"Dad I- actually dad you wanted me to marry Eduardo, right ?"
Camilla started calmly.
"Yes I proposed that suggestion but that was lomg ago as you're married to Ed now."
Mr Hudson stated still confused of what she was implying.
"Yes dad but now I've come to know that I still love him."
Camilla played her first card.
"What do you mean Camilla ?"
Ed questioned with horror.
"Look Ed I'm sorry for this but I do love Eduardo he's my childhood sweet heart. And I wanted to marry him now !"
She took the topic further neglecting his emotions.
"Stop this nonsense Camilla. You're married to Ed now he's your husband."
Mr Hudson snapped angrily.
"Dad actually our marriage is a contract one and it will end after 2 months automatically. After that I'm gonna marry Eduardo. I'm sorry !"
She completed the speech and went upstairs smiling sheepishly.
"WHAT ?"
The both men said in unison staring at each other with their jaws dropped.
