Camila’s POV Post

“Thank you, Roman.” I managed a small smile as I wiped my cheeks.

He looked at me. “What are you thanking me for?”

“For staying with me. You didn’t have to.”

“If you really want to thank me, you could do something more useful next time.”

I frowned. “Like what?”

“Perhaps be a little more generous with your time.”

“Roman!”

I shot him a warning look. How could he turn everything into an opportunity to tease me?

“What? Did I say anything wrong?”

“If Grandma heard the things coming out of your mouth, she’d probably get up and chase you out of here.”

He raised an innocent eyebrow. “Miss Hart, you’re the one making this sound suspicious. I only asked you to be more generous with your time. Your imagination is clearly working overtime.”

I stared at him, speechless. Honestly, this man!

I glanced at the clock. It was getting late, and I intended to stay with Grandma for the night. “It’s late, Roman. You should go home and get some rest.”

He looked at me as though I’d just insulted him. “So, now that I’ve served my purpose, you’re sending me

away?”

“What purpose? You haven’t done anything special.”

“Really?”

“If you want to do something special, you can start by signing that partnership contract. Now that would give me a reason to thank you properly.”

He chuckled. “Even if I haven’t done much, I still kept you company all evening. Surely that deserves some

credit?”

I couldn’t deny that. His presence had made the long wait easier. Without him, I would probably have spent the entire time pacing outside the emergency room and worrying myself sick.

“Alpha Blackwell, your time must be very expensive,” I teased. “I hope I won’t receive a bill for keeping you

here.”

He rubbed his chin thoughtfully. “That’s not a bad idea. But let’s charge by the second instead of the minute. You probably couldn’t afford to pay me in cash anyway, so you can owe me the time.”

I narrowed my eyes. “And when do you intend to collect?”

“Whenever I need you. When I call, you show up. No ignoring my calls or pretending you didn’t see my messages.” He glanced at his watch. “Come to think of it, you already owe me several hours tonight.”

I shook my head. “You’re a real conman. Is that how you built NEXZONE? By finding clever ways to cheat

people?”

He laughed. “A businessman has to know how to make a profit.”

Then I should be wise. You can leave now before my debt gets any bigger.” I gave his arm a gentle push but he caught my hand before I could pull away. His palm settled over mine, warm and firm. I tried to withdraw it, but he held on for another moment.

“Fine. I’ll give you a discount on the remaining hours.”

“I don’t want your discount. Just go home, Roman. I want–to–spend some time with Grandma. You’ve already done enough by coming here.”

His playful expression faded slightly. “You were the one who invited me to dinner tonight, remember cleared my evening for you. Whether you decided to show up or not was beyond my control.”

I blinked at him. Was he seriously trying to make me feel guilty?

I finally managed to free my hand. “There’s nothing else for you to do here. Go and get some rest.”

He studied me briefly before giving a small nod. “Alright. I’ll leave.”

“Good.”

He took a few steps towards the door, then paused. “I’m really leaving, Miss Hart.”

I looked at him. “Yes, Alpha Roman. Go.”

“Fine.” With that, he walked out of the room.

I watched the door close behind him before turning back to Grandma. As much as I appreciated Roman’s company, my place was beside her tonight.

After Roman left, the room became painfully quiet. The only sounds were the steady beeps of the medical machines and the soft movement of the oxygen flowing through Grandma’s mask. I had never found those sounds frightening before, but tonight, they made my heart ache. Each beep seemed to remind me how fragile her condition was.

I pulled a chair closer to her bed and gently took her hand. “Grandma…” My voice broke before I could say anything else.

“Why do you always have to handle everything yourself? Why couldn’t you tell me when things were wrong?”

I lowered my eyes to our joined hands. “Kent told me about the problems Whitmore Group faced a few years ago. You dealt with everything without letting me know. You didn’t even give me a chance to help.”

I swallowed hard. “I know you wanted to protect me, but I’m not a child anymore. I’m twenty–three. I can handle difficult things too. You don’t have to hide every problem from me.”

My fingers tightened around hers. “You’re all I have, Grandma. I don’t know what I’d do if anything happened to you. So please, get better soon. And when you do, no more keeping secrets from me. You even had heart surgery without telling me!”

A tear rolled down my cheek. “If you keep hiding things from me, I’ll do the same to you when I have problems. Then you’ll know how it feels.”

I gave a weak laugh, though there was nothing funny about the situation. I didn’t know whether she could hear me, but talking to her made the room feel less lonely. I studied her hand in mine. Her skin was thinner now, with wrinkles running across the back of it. Her once–dark hair had turned completely white, and the lines on her face seemed deeper than I remembered.

I had been so used to seeing her as the powerful She–Alpha of Silverhaven that I had barely stopped to notice how much she had aged. Her wolf had always been a source of strength.

gently rubbed her hand. “I wish I could have more time with you,” I whispered. I wanted more conversations, more arguments, more moments when she would fuss over me and remind me to take care of myself. I wasn’t ready for a world without her.

So I kept talking, telling her little things that came to mind. Anything was better than sitting there listening to the machines and allowing my thoughts to wander towards the worst. Then a knock sounded at the door.
