Leander.

I checked my watch and noticed it was five minutes to ten and still Camilla has not reached here yet. Yesterday I texted her stating that she should be here at exact 10. For that she replied okay.

Five more minutes, then she will be here. My lawyer is already and he is waiting for us in the conference room. I tapped my pen on the table getting irritated for each passing minute and she is still not here.

I don't know why I asked her to be my fake girlfriend, but it was the only reasonable thought that crossed my mind to torture her. Seeing her after eight years, all the anger that I buried, resurfaced in me. Losing Sapphire did hurt me, but what hurt me the most was Camilla's betrayal and I will make her pay for every pain that I have endured these past eight years.

Knocking on my door, snapped me out of my thoughts. I told who ever was on the other side to enter. Leah, my secretary entered my office and informed me about Camilla's arrival. Soon, a dishelved looking Camilla entered my office. I dismissed Leah and gazed at her.

Her hair was tied in a messy bun. Her eyes were bloodshot red and there were bags under her bags clearly indicating that she was crying. I don't know why but seeing her like this, made me feel guilty. But I pushed aside my feeling and gave her a cold look.

" You are late." I stated with a stoic face. Before she could utter anything, I said.

" My lawyer is waiting for us. Let's go." With that I exited my office with her hot on her heels.

*****

Camilla.

It was 9:45 in the morning, and within fifteen minutes I am supposed to walk right through the doors of Knight Empire to meet the person who have made my life hell.

I have been sitting in my for the past half an hour staring at my mother's picture on my phone. She was exquisite beauty and very kind hearted women. Even though I vaguely remember the time we spent together but I knew she loved us so much.

" Why mom? Why did you leave us in this cruel world alone? I need you mom. I need you so desperately. I don't know whether I am going to do right or not but I want you in each and every step. " I talked to the picture of my mother as I cried non stop.

In the morning, Destiny asked me again to reconsider my decision. She said we can away from here. But this is the only we can save both of our lives. Well we have been running throughout our entire lives and now it's time to stop.

With a new determination, I stepped out of my car and walked to the entrance of the Knight Empire. People were giving me weird looks, probably because of my dishelved look but I didn't care.

As I reached the reception, the lady behind the desk looked at me in disgust. I know I look like homeless women but you don't have to be rude staring at me like that.

" I have an appointment with your CEO." I said as the receptionist looked at me in disgust and went back to looking at her computer.

" Excuse me, did you not hear me?" I asked irritatingly.

" Listen darling, thousands of girls come here to meet Mr. Knight. So I suggest you to better leave from here before I call the security." She said rolling at her eyes at me.

Instead of getting angry at her, I smiled and continued.

" If you check your CEO's schedule there will be the name of Camilla Anderson in big bold letters, so before you waste anymore time, I suggest you do what I said before you loose your job." I said as my eyes narrowed at her. Seeing my look she gulped and went to check on her computer.

" The CEO' s office is on the top floor. Leah, Mr. Knight's secretary is waiting for you." She muttered in a low voice. I smiled sweetly at her and body goodbye to her.

I hate when people judge you without even knowing you. As I walked further into the building I noticed people observing me with their judgy eyes. I rolled my eyes and went inside the elevator and pressed the button to the top most floor.

My heart beat faster as each floor the elevator goes up. Rubbing my palms on my jeans I took a deep breath to calm my nerves. The bell dinged indicating, I have reached the designated floor. The door slide open and I stepped out of the elevator and was met with a girl who looked about my age standing there patiently waiting for someone.

As she noticed my presence a warm smile spread her face. She strode towards me in steady steps and stood in front of me with her hands extended.

" Good morning, Ms. Anderson I am Leah. Mr. Knight's secretary. He assigned me to guide you to his office. Please do follow me." Shaking my hands she guided me to a closed door.

She knocked on the door and opened it lightly poking her head in and saying to the person on the other side of the door that I have reached.

Leah motioned me to go inside and left me there. Taking a deep breath and keeping my gaze on the floor I opened the door and went inside.

" You are late." A deep voice echoed inside the four walls of the room. My heads shot up and I regretted it immediately. Looking straight in his eyes I felt lost in his ocean blue eyes which glared at me in anger.

"My lawyer is waiting for us. Let's go." With that he left his office room with me following him like a lost puppy.

(Time skip)

" So it's settled then, Mr. Knight. I shall take my leave." His lawyer said and took his leave.

For the past one hour we were discussing about the terms and conditions of the contract. After a lot of bickering and arguing we came to an agreement. I will be working with him for the next three months till the contract is over and he will pay my debts and above all of that I have to share a roof with him during this period. The next three months is gonna be hell for me.

" Ms. Anderson I expect you in my penthouse this evening. So you better go back your home and pack your bags." Leander said as he stood in front of me with a smug look as if he achieved something in his life.

I stood in front of him helpless and nodded my head.

He leaned forward and whispered in my ears.

" Welcome to hell, Camilla."
