Everybody Wants to Rule the World

Chapter Ten: Learn Your Place

Warning: This chapter might be a little upsetting.

"And they all lived happily ever after," Camelia whispered finishing the story that she was telling Junior, she kissed the top of his head and smiled glad that he had been able to fall asleep. 

It hurt that Junior had been asking for Cristiano so much and yet there was no way that Camelia could bring his father too him; she just hoped that he got Catalina pregnant soon so that he could come back and see them. 

Brushing her fingers through Junior's curly hair, Camelia sighed knowing that she would give anything for them to be a family; it wasn't sure when things would ever be that simple for them. 

Carefully climbing off the bed, Camelia made sure that her satin kimono was closed before she turned on Junior's nightlight and moved to leave the room. 

Pausing Camelia looked back at her sleeping son and smiled, she turned off the main light before stepping out into the hallway and closing the door soundly behind her. 

Camelia took a deep breath, she had no idea what was going on and she knew that things weren't going to be as simple; she leant against the door for a moment before she moved away. 

Padding away from Junior's room, Camelia nibbled on her lip moving up the stairs to her own; she was glad that the staff had gone home for the night. 

It was hard knowing that Cristiano was up at the main house with Catalina, it made Camelia's stomach turn and she had no idea how she was going to cope when the other woman had Cristiano's child. 

Camelia wasn't sure what was going to happen and she just hoped that everything was going to be okay; she didn't want to see Junior get hurt when the new baby did eventually come along. 

Stepping into her bedroom, Camelia closed the door behind her and prepared for bed; she missed having Cristiano here with her but a pillow that smelt like him would have to do. 

Before Camelia could take another step, she was grabbed from behind; a hand clapping over her mouth as the person made sure she couldn't slip away.

Camelia struggled against the hold the man had on her, she couldn't get him to let her go and she feared what was going to happen now; she felt her heart pounding in her chest as she was slammed into wall. 

Her head ached and it left her stunned as the man wrestled her to the floor and pinned her hands above her head; his legs pinned her legs down knowing that this would certainly teach her a lesson. 

"Olá Camelia," Hugo breathed smiling down at Camelia, he was going to make sure that she knew her place and she wouldn't be causing any problems for Catalina anymore. 

Camelia stared up at Cristiano's brother, she had no idea why he was here but she doubted it was a pleasant visit to say hello or catch up; she tried to wiggle out from under him but couldn't. 

The look in Hugo's eyes scared Camelia and she had no idea why he had come to her; they had never been close and she couldn't imagine they ever would be. 

Hugo had never been a big fan of hers and had only put up with her since Cristiano had liked her, he was one of the few members of his family that seemed to tolerate her when she had been dating Cristiano. 

"I'm going to enjoy this," Hugo mused reaching down and opening the kimono that Camelia was wearing, he smirked at the sight of the sheer babydoll that she was wearing. 

Reaching down between Camelia's legs, Hugo ripped away her underwear before starting to spread her legs; he chuckled when she fought against his hold knowing that she would never be the same after this. 

Hugo had every intention of making sure that Camelia would never feel worthy of his brother again; she would always remember what was about to come and he would make sure to leave marks she would never forget. 

Camelia screamed as Hugo positioned herself between her legs, she tried to get herself free and she could only pray that this was all some horrible dream.

Zipping his trousers back up, Hugo chuckled to himself looking at himself in the mirror and he couldn't believe what he had just done; he expected things to go well and he could see why Cristiano liked Camelia so much. 

It had been a wonderful evening and it had gotten even better when the fight had gone out of Camelia, Hugo couldn't believe that things would work out this well; he was sure that Catalina would be thrilled when he told her what he had done. 

"Just imagine how my brother will react when he discovers what we have done," Hugo mused turning to look at Camelia's crumbled form, she hadn't said a word in hours and he was thankful that the room was soundproof; he would have killed the brat she had spawned if he had coming to see why his mother was screaming. 

There was no word from Camelia, she stayed curled up on the floor just staring into space and not being able to wrap her head around what had just happened. 

Camelia had been through so much when she was married to Ricardo but this had been so much worse; she couldn't believe how much Hugo hated his brother to do this to her. 

Smiling Hugo moved away from the mirror and walked over to Camelia; he grabbed her by the hair and pulled her up, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed that she didn't cry out. 

"You best behave now... we wouldn't want him to find out," Hugo mused admiring her broken and bruised body, he loved his handy work and he knew that Cristiano would kill him if he found out what he had done to Camelia. 

However the threat would make sure that Cristiano would never find out, Camelia would keep silent and Hugo would be free to make sure that she did as she was told. 

Camelia didn't say a word as Hugo dropped her to the floor, she listened as he walked out of the room and out of her home before finally she broke down in tears that she had refused to shed during her ordeal.

Carrying Camelia's breakfast up the stairs, Joanna Forbes smiled to herself, she had to admit that she had found herself enjoying working as a maid to the blonde; she was much nicer than the wife of the general. 

She was one of the two maids that had been given to Camelia including a chef when she had become Cristiano's mistress; things had been quite calm since then and things could get better. 

The other maid, Natasha Mills, was dealing with Junior right now and she was making sure that he had breakfast before his tutor arrived for today's lessons. 

Joanna smiled softly, she couldn't quite believe how lucky she had been since they had arrived in Camelia's service; she was a wonderful lady and she made sure that they were well looked after. 

The other staff couldn't believe that the words that they would hear about Camelia, they were all so convinced that she was here to steal Cristiano away from Catalina and they believed the horrible lies that Catalina told them about Camelia. 

Opening the door to Camelia's bedroom, Joanna stepped inside and stopped when her eyes rested on the crumbled figure on the floor; she dropped the tray that she was holding and rushed forward to check on Camelia. 

"My lady," Joanna whispered horrified at the amount of blood around the blonde, her legs were covered in it and she couldn't work out what had happened to Camelia.
