If Love Was Forced

Chapter 44: Assault?

"Could I just have one box of donuts?"

I said to the cashier, and she nodded before taking my money and giving me my change.

She handed me the pastries, and I thanked her before walking over to our table.

We've been here for over an hour. After going to the park, we proceeded to the mall since I needed to get Micheal some clothing.

I can't believe I'm a mother now.

"Camila?" I heard someone say, and I quickly flinched. I turned around to see Miss Caroline.

"Are you okay?" She asked and I nodded.

I gestured at her to eat, which she complied with. We started to eat while chatting around.

As we were chatting around, suddenly three bodyguards quickly surrounded us.

"Madam, Boss said we have to go." I heard one of them say and I nodded.

I know I'm supposed to feel safe, but these guys are creepy.

I quickly went to the restroom for a second and washed my hands.

When I was done, Micheal was already in his stroller drinking his milk.

I walked out of the cafe with them following me until we got to the parking lot.

I sat inside the car with Michael in my arms. While Francine and Miss Caroline sat in another car,

Though I wished my mom was here, I think she would've been so happy to know that she had a grandchild, and my dad, I'm sure he would spoil Michael always.

But I guess that wasn't planned.

Valentino's P.O.V

"Miss Camila is on her way home right now, Boss."

My men spoke forward, and I nodded. Camila wanted to go out with her son today, so I permitted them, but with bodyguards, I can't let Alejandro see her.

But I'm sure Alejandro's wife will turn against him shortly.

I giggled at the notion; he always believed I'd lose. So foolish.

"Cancel all my meetings. I'll be spending the day at home today. " I said and all of them nodded.

I stepped out of the office and down the stairs to surprise Camila, only to hear the front door close.

When I approached her, she hugged me.

"How did you enjoy your day?" I inquired.

"It was splendid. Michael had a great time. He is in his room right now." She stated,

"Are you exhausted?" I inquired, and she smiled, but I could see she was.

"I'll get you some juice, and you can rest in my room," I replied, and she nodded. I kissed her on the cheek, and she went upstairs.

I walked to the bar area and got some juice and put it into a glass. Then I took some intoxicated powder and poured it into the liquid; after mixing for a while, I went upstairs and to my room with the juice.

Camila's P.O.V

I removed my shoes and purse and placed them inside the wardrobe. I was exhausted. I'd had a hard day, and Valentino invited me to rest in his room. It was an odd gesture, but I wanted someone to talk to. I've been spending a lot of time alone recently, but I'm not sure he'll comprehend.

I sat on the bed and pulled out my phone. Every day, I would receive many phone calls from patients, coworkers, and friends. Now I felt worthless, like if I didn't belong in this world.

I wanted to be of assistance. I really wanted to work. I wanted to use my money to meet the needs of my son. I intend to discuss it with Valentino, but I'm sure he'll just deny it. However, it's worth a shot.

I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I didn't notice Valentino standing in front of me, peering down at me.

He sighed and took a seat next me.

"Here's your drink," he said, handing me the glass, and I sipped it.

It was delicious, but I felt much more drowsy after drinking it.

"Thank you," I whispered, and he nodded, taking the glass from me and placing it on the nightstand. I got up to use the restroom because I felt dizzy.

"Camila? Amore, are you all right?" Valentino said, and I nodded. When he approached me and placed his hands on my waist, I felt like my head was spinning and I blacked out.

What was happening with me?

Valentino's P.O.V

My lips formed a grin as Camila blacked out.

My angel is now entirely mine.

She landed in my arms, and I rapidly carried her in a bridal style. That powder was fantastic.

I placed her down on the bed, and a wave of hunger washed over me. I knelt down and kissed her on the lips.

As I drew her closer, I was abruptly shoved back.

Camila stared at me, stunned, as I opened my eyes.
