His Lethal Love
Chapter 29

Past.

Camille POV.

I was getting ready for Maura's birthday party. If Scott hadn't insisted I attend, I would have chosen not to attend. My blue bodycon dress and off-shoulder top hugged my body beautifully. To make myself look glamorous, I curled half of my hair and put on make-up. Hey, guess what it worked out and made me look like a different person as I had never tried on short dresses and make-up before.

"You look so pretty." My heart pounded when Scott's voice buzzed in my ears as I turned around to look at him. He was leaning against the wall, staring at me with his arms crossed over his chest. He looked gorgeous in his light grey tuxedo and his hair was messy and damp due to the shower. Maura was a lucky girl who had such a sweet and handsome boyfriend. I wish he were mine.

"Umm...thank you." I blushed hard when his eyes scanned my body up and down. He had never looked at me like this before.

"Trust me, I did..." he said, and I frowned as if he had heard my inside voice.

"What?"

He closed his eyes briefly before shaking his head and running his fingers through his hair. "Nothing."

"Okay." I turned around and grabbed my phone before putting on heels and heading out.

"Can we ride together?" Scott asked behind me, making me stop.

"Yep, of course." I smiled and gestured for him to follow me.

We sat in the car and I started to drive, but Scott blurted out, "I have something for you."

"Okay." My brows raised in confusion. "What do you have for me?"

Taking something out of his breast pocket, he presented it to me nervously. When I noticed the golden string in his fist, my eyes widened.

"What is this?"

"Since it's just metal, I don't know if you will like it or not, but I brought it for you." He pursed his lips before continuing. "It may not be as expensive as your other items, but I thought you would like it."

"I like it." I blurted, as I retrieved the necklace from him. "This is so beautiful, Scott. I really like it."

"Really?" Scott asked in disbelief.

"Yes, I do." I grinned while removing my hair from my back and said, "Well, let's wear it now."

"Cam..." He quickly wore it to me. The touch of his fingers tickled my naked skin. "I really want to kiss you."

My heart skipped a beat when he kissed my earlobe. I twisted my head to look into his eyes. "I'm sorry..."

"No, it's fine," I said before pulling him into a heated kiss. Scott quickly wrapped his fingers around my neck before pulling me into his chest and kissing me. As if we'd been thirsty for each other for years, we both sucked into each other's mouths. He laughed when his teeth accidentally rubbed against mine.

After a couple of moments, we dragged ourselves away and looked into each other's eyes, gasping for breath. "Sometimes you drive me nuts," he said with amusement.

"How?"

"Forget it." He shook his head and straightened himself against the seat and bucked up the seatbelt.

I was itching to ask him further, but I let this subject pass and drove straight to the birthday venue.

When I spotted Maura waiting outside the hotel for her boyfriend, I was filled with jealousy. She wore a gray mermaid gown, which accentuated every curve of her body and made her look even sexier. A loving smile slipped across Scott's lips as he regarded her with appreciation in his eyes.

I pulled into the parking lot of the hotel and we got out. Scott fixed his tie and hair and turned to me. "Please, don't tell anyone about our kiss."

Disappointment washed over me as I let out an exasperated sigh with a nod. "Fine."

"Hey, baby." Maura quickly approached us and left a kiss on Scott's mouth, which gave me another wave of jealousy.

"Hey, you look stunning." Scott smiled and kissed her back. He looked somewhat uncomfortable when Maura didn't let go of his mouth and kept eating his lips in front of my eyes.

I rolled my eyes and looked away. Although I wanted to run away from the place, I didn't want to give her satisfaction, so I stayed there.

"What are you doing with her?" Maura asked while pointing to me.

"Actually, my car punctured so I asked Camille to give me a ride."

"Why didn't you ask Samuel instead?"

"We got into an ugly fight." Scott sighed and placed his hand on the small of her back and led her inside, forgetting my existence.

Hurt, I sighed sharply and headed inside.

"Hey, buddy," Rika called out as she approached me. She had glasses of drinks in both hands while her body was moving with the music. She wore a silver-white short dress with half of her breasts hanging out. Her body was being leered at by most of the boys in the room, but she was too drunk to notice their gazes. "What?" she said, slurring once she caught my gaze.

"You look terrible." I snapped.

"Oh, thanks." She grinned widely while handing me a glass of wine. "I take that as a compliment. Anyway, you never think about me. All you care about is your sweetheart, Scott." I could hear sarcasm and jealousy in her voice. "Don't blame me when you're the one who has not received my call."

"I was just as busy as you." She spat as she downed the entire glass of wine at once. I looked at the wine but refused to drink, as I was pregnant. "I apologize! I forgot you were pregnant with his bastard, right?" "Rika!" I gritted my teeth, glaring at her. "Be careful what you say."

She broke into a laugh, slurring. "Sure."

"You're not you."

"You're not you." She pointed at me as she stumbled to her feet. "You shared everything with Scott instead of me. I am not your friend any longer. I don't even exist in your life any longer. Do you understand, Cami?" "Rika." I grabbed her shoulders to steady her body, but she slapped my hands away.

"We're no longer friends, Camille!" She growled before turning around and leaving me pained.

I held back my tears and walked out to get some fresh air.

"What happened?" I heard a masculine voice from behind me. Glancing over my shoulder, I saw Scott heading toward me.

"Nothing," I mumbled.

"Are you alright?" He squeezed my shoulder gently and made me look at him.

I bit into my lower lip to restrain myself from crying and shook my head.

"Come here." He pulled me into a bear hug and caressed my hair lovingly. "Everything is going to be alright, Cam."

"When will this be over?"

"We'll get through it together. I'm here with you, Cam. I'll always be there for you." My heart swelled when he said that. "Do you want to go somewhere?"

I pulled myself back and looked at him. "Yes."

"Then let's go."

"What about Maura?" I frowned.

"She has her friends." He grabbed my hand before leading me to the parking lot. "We're gonna have fun together."

We sat in my car, and Scott slid behind the wheel, driving. I was excited to see where he was taking me.

After a while, he took me to the beach and spent hours there.

"I have rented a room a few yards away from here. I would like to spend the night with you."

I felt butterflies erupt in my tummy as he announced this. "Are you going to cheat on your girlfriend for me?"

"Well, I can do anything for you."

"Are you serious?"

"Yep, damn serious." He rose to his feet before pulling me upward. "I can't wait, Camille."

I frowned when I noticed something's behavior. I brushed this thought away and followed him. I didn't want to spoil this moment.

As soon as we entered the room, we started to take off our clothes. I felt heat curling down my spine as Scott kissed my neck and shoulders. "You're so hot." Taking off his shirt, he pressed my back against his chest, making me feel his warm flesh. "You're trapped, darling."

My eyes popped out when suddenly his tone and behavior changed. I looked at his face and a smirk formed on his lips. My heart slammed against my rib cage when I came to realize he was not Scott, but Samuel. He had the same hairstyle, the same dress, and the same voice. He disguised himself to trick me. To copy his brother, he removed his glasses and put on an eye lens.

"Are you shocked to see my acting? Did you notice how skilled I am at acting?" He laughed darkly, which gave me creeps. "Now I know you are a tart. You can give your pussy to my brother, but not to me." He stepped closer to me and grabbed my jaw firmly. "Can't you see how much I love you, sweetheart? Can't you see my love, Cami?"

"Samuel..." I whispered in shock.

"Yes, baby. Are you not happy to see me here?"

"No."

"Why?"

"You're a beast." I barked at him.

"You brought this beast inside me, Cami." He gripped my jaw tightly, making me wince in pain. "You'll now be punished for the stunts you've done for weeks."

"Fuck off, bastard!" I growled as I shoved him away and rushed to the door, but shrieked in pain when he grabbed a part of my hair and yanked me back to my place.

"I warned you, you will be punished," he hissed before pulling out a knife from his pocket and tearing my dress, leaving me completely bare.
