THE BILLIONAIRE'S GIRLFRIEND

11. PENTHOUSE

Camilla

I held on to Destiny as we cried on each other's shoulders. It was hard saying goodbye to her even if it's temporary. I patted her shoulder as I withdrew from her.

" Camilla, please think about it. You don't have to do this.  We will find another way." She pleaded as tears flowed down her cheeks.

" Destiny, the contract is already signed. We can't do anything more and if we do anything stupid he will make sure we both suffer." I tried to convince her.

She shook her head in denial and cried hysterically.

" No I won't let you do this. I beg you Camilla, please don't go." Destiny cried as she held me tightly against her.

" I am sorry Tiny, but I have made up my mind. I will call you once I reach Leander's penthouse." With that I began walking out of the house with Destiny trailing behind me begging me to not leave her.

My guilt was eating me alive. I feel bad for leaving her alone but I have made up my mind. It's the only way to save the both of us.

With a heavy heart I placed my luggage ok the trunk of my car, closing it I turned to look at Destiny who was standing in the porch crying. She smiled at me sadly and waved. I gave her a small smile and waved back.

Starting my car I put the address of Leander's penthouse on the GPS and began driving towards my destination. Tears were streaming down my eyes while I was driving. Ughh I hate my life.
These things wouldn't be happening if mom hadn't left us. If our father was more responsible to us. Why did mom leave us alone in this cruel world.

Lost in my thoughts I didn't realise I had reached my destination and was just sitting in the car. Composing myself I exit my car and strode to the entrance after picking my luggage.

Leander.

" Are you crazy, Lean?" Daniel asked as I chugged down my fifth glass of whiskey.
Daniel and I were catching up after office hours in one of his clubs.

Instead of replying to him I ordered another glass of whiskey.

" Lean are you even listening to me?" He asked irritated as I was not responding to any of his questions.

As I was about to chug down my seventh  glass he snatched it from my hands.

" Enough Lean. It's enough. Now back to my question. Why did you do it? Blackmailing Camilla into a contract relationship will bring back Sapphire? No! Then why did you--"

" Shut up Daniel. You don't know anything about what I have gone through." I snapped at him.

" Seriously Lean. You are saying that. I stood with you through thick and thin. So don't throw it in my face." Daniel shouted at me as he raked his hands through his hair.

" I am sorry, man." I said as I looked down in embarrassment.

" It's fine Lean. Now back to the real topic. Why are you doing this to yourself Lean? Bringing back Camilla in your life will only cause more chaos."

" I don't know Daniel. I just wanted her to feel what I have been through these last eight years. When I saw her for the first time after so long, I wanted to strangle her for causing all the problems. I don't know why I blackmailed her to this contract relationship but I want her to see suffer, man. Oh god I hate her so much. I hate her.!!!!" I shouted as hot tears fell down my eyes.

Daniel patted my shoulder. " It's ok Lean. Come let's go back. I will drop you off."

" No, she will be there. I don't want to see her face. I hate the mere presence of her." I said as I held onto him.

Not minding my protest, Daniel dragged me from the club.

" Well it was your idea to make her stay with you. " He said as he sat in his car and shut the door.

I was too intoxicated to retort back and fell asleep throughout the car ride.

Daniel.

Parking the car in front of Lean's residence I looked towards my passenger seat only to realise that he had passed out.

I have known him my entire life. Our parents were best friends so it automatically made us the best buddies. I have seen him going through a rough time of his life. After his breakup with Sapphire , his life has not been the life. It feels like I have lost my best friend somewhere. Lean doesn't laugh like he used to, he doesn't hang out with us anymore. It's like he has closed off himself from the entire world. He began focusing on his work and blocked us all out of his life. I wish I could get my best friend back.
