If Love Was Forced

Chapter 54: He's your son...

When I opened my eyes, I was surrounded by warm blankets. Wow, I had no idea my bed was this comfortable...

What are you thinking? Wasn't it that I was in the car with Valentino?

I sprang to my feet and realized I was in my room. It was 6 a.m. when I looked at the clock. Who was it that brought me here?

As I discovered my garments had been replaced, I thought to myself and gasped. My silk pajamas were on my body. What occurred the night before?

I got up and worriedly paced around the room. The door slid open with a squeak, revealing Valentino.

He approached me and said, "You are awake."

I walked away from him and said, "What happened last night?"

He handed me a glass of water and he replied, "You slept in the car. I took you up here. I wasn't the one who changed you. It was the maid."

He began, "Amore, about what I said last night."

"Valentino, I understand. It's all right," I told him, and he nodded and walked up to me and hugged me.

"Where's is Micheal?" I inquired, and he grinned.

He grinned and said, "He's with Miss Caroline. He slept with you last night because he was crying."

I add, "I'll change and then meet you downstairs," and he nods.

I entered the restroom and shut the door behind me.

I shouldn't have slept!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I grinned as I looked in the mirror, dressed in a dark green blouse and black slacks.

I put on my stilettos and took my handbag and coat out of the room.

Francine greeted me with a bow and inquired, "Good morning, Camila, slept well?" I nodded and smiled back.

"Where is Micheal?" I said, and she pointed to his room, which I nodded to and entered by turning the door handle. When I opened the door, Michael and Miss Caroline were standing there.

Micheal, whose hair was wet, was the first person I approached. He'd just completed his bath.

I smiled and cuddled him as he nestled against me, thinking, "Wow, my baby smells good."

I smiled as he whispered, "Mommy." He hasn't spoken anything like that in a long time.

Miss Caroline, "Has he eaten yet?" I inquired.

I nodded as she responded, "Yes."

"Mr. Valentino is waiting for breakfast in the garden for Camila," Francine says, and I nod and hand Micheal back to Miss Caroline.

"I'm going to get going now, Miss Caroline," I remarked as I hugged her.

She whispered, "Stay safe, sweetie," and I nodded.

I exited the room and made my way to the garden. Francine wheeled out a chair for me, and I greeted Valentino with a grin.

I took my daily pancakes and began to devour them.

"Amore." Valentino breathed out and glanced at him.

"You didn't tell me Alejandro owned the hospital you signed into." He says and I sighed. 

"Valentino, you know I didn't know that, I'm sorry I forgot to tell you. I can handle him I promise," I tell him and he sighed and took my hand in mine and I looked at his eyes which were killed with disagreement.
