My love, my destiny (Completed)

chapter 15

  "Camila? Baby? Is that you? Mommy's here" -Jewel 

ZANDER's POV

I looked at her sitting next to me. She was sleeping with a scrunched eye brows. She looked troubled but still so beautiful. I couldn't believe it but all those 6 years that we've been separated, I was so mad at her because I thought she betrayed and abandoned us. 

The anger I was feeling for her became even intense when we met for the first time after 6 years and realized that she was mad at me too for a reason I couldn't comprehend. I thought she chose to be with another man and live a better life away from me and our child but now, I discovered that we were both just a victim of someone else's scheme.

We harbored negative feelings towards each other for all those wasted years for nothing. My hands gripped the steering wheel tightly. I felt so furious and I wanted to punch that someone who played us and separated us. 6 years. 6 f*cking long years that I cursed her and hated her to the point of not even showing Camila a picture of her even though I kept a lot of them.

I am a man but I feel tears beginning to brim my eyes.

Now that we've discovered the truth, all I wanted is for our family to be together. Even though I hated her for how many years, the love I felt for her kept hidden at the deepest corner of my heart and stayed there for a long time. I didn't want to admit it before but I knew no one could ever replace her place in my heart.

I looked at her lovingly again. Destiny meddled and made us meet again. I though destiny was playing with me when I saw her again but now I realized that destiny returned her to me for both of us to realize that we are meant to be even after all these years.

I wanted to just stare at her forever but I could already see her house. I stopped the car and stare at her more. She's really beautiful. Her soft pink lips never seized to give me that urge to capture them with my lips. I touched her cheek gently but I wanted to regret touching her when she stirred and woke up.

"Where are we?" She purred sexily while squeezing her eyes.

"In front of your house" She looked at me questioningly.

"How did you know where I live?"

"I just happened to know" I lied. The truth is, I actually followed her home the day we went together to Mr. Richards' office. I was so worried because I knew she was crying and depressed about what happened to Camila and what Mr. Richards told us. I was worried that something might happen to her.

I wanted to persuade her to talk to me that day but when she arrived to her house, I saw a guy waiting for her and talked to her. I was so jealous but I knew I didn't have the right anymore to be jealous. 

I couldn't even sleep that night because of thinking about who that guy was and thinking about Camila too that I thought I was going insane. But then I realized that I need to fight for her. She isn't married yet so I still have a chance. I decided to court her so I went to the school but I was so enraged when I saw a male teacher confessing his feelings towards her.

I was pulled out of my reverie when I realized that she was staring at me like she was wondering if I was telling the truth. I evaded her piercing gaze and swallowed inaudibly.

"Don't give me that lame answer" I am a confident and strong-willed man but I couldn't even look her in the eyes and admit that I followed her.

"If you won't answer me then I'm going" She was about to open the door when I suddenly grab her hand. She looked back at me. I opened my mouth to say what I wanted to say when my phone suddenly rang. I looked at the screen and my eye brows creased when I saw a private number calling. Normally, I don't answer calls from private numbers but something is telling me to answer it.
