As I gripped the serving tray, I retreated my steps, my cheeks burning from humiliation. Everyone was watching us with keen interest.

This time he would never let me go after all I was the one who had destroyed his small world.
I murdered his brother.

“Because you hate me,” he said quietly. “Because you hate Maura, and you want to destroy us.”
I swallowed hard. My heart was stung by his words.
“I checked Maura’s cell phone. You sent her our private pictures, right?” His eyes shone in pain. “I trusted you. I fucking trusted you. Why did you do that? This is not you, Cam. You never do this.”
“I did that!” I gritted my teeth out.
He breathed sharply, pausing for a while before asking again, “Where is my engagement ring? I forgot it on the nightstand that day. Don’t you tell me you just threw it away?” He glared at me as if he knew exactly what my answer would be.
“I threw it away because it was stinging my eyes,” I said bravely, though my insides were shaking. “Where have you been last month?”
He swallowed, disappointment flashed across his face.
“Where were you when I texted and called you like crazy?” I demanded.
“Maura committed suicide,” he whispered, his eyes were fixed on the floor and his body slouch like he was exhausted. “I have to stay with her all the time.”
“Then why didn’t you inform me and why didn’t you reply to any of my calls and texts?”
“Because I lost my cell phone on the flight.” His jaw flexed as he glared at me.
“You’re lying.” I broke into tears. “Again you’re deceiving me, bastard,” I screamed at him. “You always lie to me!”
“I’m not lying,” he said firmly and fell silent for a moment. “I was worried about you…” his voice cracked. “But I never thought you would be…” he didn’t complete his words and turned around. His back was rising and falling rapidly. “I almost believed that you loved me.” He paused again to regain his strength. “As long as he is making you happy I won’t stop you from being with him. But if he screws you up I will kill him.”

“Oh, dear!” Kate sat next to me and squeezed my shoulder.
“Where were you?” I asked.
“I and Archie flew to Paris to take care of Maura’s shit. She tried to kill herself to get Scott back. She cut her wrist when Scott said he wanted to cancel their wedding. It shook her to the core, and she lost her control and did that stupid stunt. To avoid this news reaching the press we gave them Scott’s and Maura’s old pictures of the island,” Kate said.
“But those pictures…”
“Yeah.” Kat cut me off like he knew what I was about to say. “You would be hurt to see those pictures, I know, Cami.”
“Why didn’t you tell me before?”
“Because we were afraid that it would leak to the public. You know about phone surveillance…”
“Where is Archie?”
“He is with his sister. He wanted to stay with her for a bit while. He is a bit upset about this mishap. After all, they have been there for each other since childhood.”
“Scott met me in the morning. I was at Conan’s penthouse.”
“Then…” Kate’s eyes widened in surprise.
“They engaged in a fight.” I sighed.
“Listen, girl…” Kate squeezed my shoulder. “Scott truly loves you. I saw love for you in Scott’s eyes. I saw how he was fighting for you in Paris. When his and your intimate pictures were posted on the internet Archie got mad at you. He thought you were the one who posted pictures and videos on the internet. He saw pictures and read messages you sent Maura a day before she committed suicide. Only the person who was not ready to believe that was Scott. He stood for you against his producer, employees, and fiancee. He even lost his shares in his production house. You should have seen that with your own eyes.” Kate sighed heavily. “You should let him go, girl.”
I closed my eyes briefly, sighing sharply. “He was never mine.” I paused for a while, fighting back my tears. “Does Archie hate me?”
“Of course, not, sweetheart.” He smiled with hesitation. “He was just a bit mad at you. You provoked his sister by sending those intimate pictures and videos.”
“She said mean words to me.”
“You’re sounding like a teen girl.” Kate taunted while breaking into a laugh. “Well, I hope things get well soon. Scott and Maura will be getting married next Monday.”
“I know.”
“Are you okay with this?”
“Yeah.” I forced a smile. “I’m dating Conan, anyway.”
“He is such a hottie.” Kate grinned. “You look gorgeous together.”
“We are going to have a romantic dinner tonight. Can you suggest a dress?”
“Yeah of course. Let’s go through Maura’s wardrobe. We might find something interesting there?”
