Crazy Love

Chapter 49

Camilla's pov
We had fallen asleep at some point but were awoken by the sound of the door creaking open.

Cassandra walked into the basement. She stared at my father in disgust.

"So, you were the leach all along?Mom told me she found you helping your daughter out. I don't even know why she shot at your leg instead of your head,"she sneered.

"Why are you doing this, you are not the sister i know,"i said.

"You never knew me Camilla. Since when do royalties know about peasants. You have everything i don't. You have a father that i always wanted but i don't. You have people who actually care about you while i only got mom. You even have my boyfriend now for god's sake. You could have the flashy life you want that i can't have. All the while i have hard to live a hidden life like a mistake all because of you,"she yelled.

"It is always and has always been about you. You, you and you,"she yelled.

"I am sorry if that's how you felt but its not the truth. I loved you like a bloodsister. Dad never once sided with me over you. If we all go around hurting people just because we feel entitled to everything, is wrong. You are blaming me for taking people away from you but you have no respect for relations. Chase loved you sincerely but you betrayed his love by cheating with your sister's fiancee,"i yelled back.

"Well, i don't care. It should always have been me. Why does everyone always favor you, huh?"she asked but i remained silent.

"Mom always told me not to do anything that would upset you since you had more right in this home than we did. I have always felt like your shadow. But when mom said we could get rid of you, i was overjoyed. Finally i could have the spotlight on me. You were the reason this man betrayed my mother and he is doing it again. I am never enough. Even mom tells me of how she failed to abort me. I have always lived like a mistake,"she yelled.

"Cassie dear, you know that's not true. I have always loved you like my own,"dad said.

"Exactly, like your own but i am not your own. I wish i was your own dad. Camilla is lucky to atleast have a parent that loves her unconditionally as opposed to someone like me who always has to prove herself even to my own mother,"she said.

"But it's okay. I deserve to have your money atleast for all the hardship i have gone through. Get ready to sign over your property to me when i get back,"she said before walking out.

"Don't give her anything that belongs to you dear,"dad said.

"Don't worry dad. I signed off all my propert to my husband Chase. So even if i sign the papers, they won't have much use. This was grandpa's idea,"i said.

"Wow. That old man never ceases to amaze me,"dad said.

"How is he doing? I haven't seen him in years?"dad asked.

"He's okay. He came for the birth of the twins before he had to leave once again,"i answered.

"I wish i was there,"dad whispered.

"You'll meet them soon dad. Have faith,"i said.

Hours passed before Cassandra came back holding a pen and papers in her hands.

"You are going to sign this papers the easy way or the hard way. Choose?"she asked.

I stretched out my hands for her to give me the papers and she smirked at me.

"Wise choice. Too bad you'll die either way,"she said.

She was just walking out of the basement when we heard gun fire exchange and i became hopeful. Help had arrived. These two days of staying licked up and sleeping on the cold bare floor had been hard. Besides dad's wound needed to be treated.
