Camila’s POV Post

Camila, I’m serious.”

“So am I.” I slipped an arm around Roman’s neck and settled more comfortably on his lap. “Let me see if I’ve understood you correctly. You cheated on me, married another woman, and now you’ve decided that everything you did was somehow for my benefit?”

“It wasn’t like that!”

“Really? Because from where I’m sitting, it looks exactly like that.”

His face tightened. “You don’t understand. I was trying to build something for us. I wanted to give you a better life.”

For a moment, I simply looked at him. Then I smiled. “That’s a wonderful story. Did you practise it in front of a mirror before coming here?”

“Camila, I’m serious.”

“It wasn’t like that!”

“Really? Because from where I’m sitting, it looks exactly like that.”

Julian’s eyes dropped to my arm around Roman’s neck. His face darkened, and the possessiveness in his expression made my stomach turn. “You’re doing this to hurt me,” he

accused.

I stared at him in disbelief. “Must everything be about you?”

“You’re sitting on my half-brother’s lap to make me jealous!”

“No, Julian. I’m sitting on Roman’s lap because I want to.”

The words seemed to strike him harder than anything else I had said.

His gaze snapped to Roman, who looked entirely too pleased with the situation.

“You think this is funny?” Julian demanded.

“Not particularly,” Roman replied. “But watching you embarrass yourself is becoming entertaining.”

“You bastard!”

“Careful, Julian. You’re in my club, shouting at me because your ex-mate has chosen to spend her evening with someone else. You should be asking yourself why she’s no longer

interested in you.”

Julian lunged a step forward. Before he could come any closer, two large men appeared at the doorway and blocked him.

I recognised them immediately. The so-called police officers. They had changed out of their uniforms, but there was no mistaking their faces. My eyes narrowed as the pieces fell into place. So Roman had arranged the entire performance. He had wanted those men out of the room, and he had found a way to make it happen.

“Get out of my way!” Julian barked when the two men approached him. Neither moved. One caught him by the arm while the other stepped between him and the couch.

“Don’t touch me!” Julian struggled against their grip. “Do you know who I am?”

“We do,” one of them replied calmly. “Now, please come with us.”

“I’m not going anywhere!”

His bloodshot eyes found mine. “Camila! You’re seriously going to let them do this? After everything we’ve been through?”

I held his gaze without flinching. “I’m single, Julian. I can be with whoever I choose. You lost the right to question my decisions when you chose another woman.”

His face twisted. I turned away from him, deliberately slipping my arm around Roman’s neck and leaning against his shoulder. “Could someone please remove this man?” I asked coolly. “He’s ruining my evening.”

Roman’s mouth curved into a slow, satisfied smile. “You heard the lady. Show him out.”

The men began escorting Julian towards the door. He fought them every step of the way, throwing furious looks over his shoulder.

“Camila! This isn’t over!”

Aria, who had been standing near the entrance, suddenly found herself caught in the commotion. One of the men motioned for her to leave as well, and she hurried out behind Julian, looking thoroughly miserable.,I remembered how she had been practically vibrating with excitement at the thought of witnessing a confrontation. Apparently, the spectacle had not turned out as she had hoped.

The moment Julian reached the corridor, he shoved one of the men away and tried to force his way back into the room. “Move! I need to speak to her!”

The men blocked the entrance. “You’re not going back inside.”

“Get out of my way!” Nobody moved. “Camila!” Julian shouted from the corridor. “Camila, come out here!”

I closed my eyes briefly, taking a slow breath. Then I opened them and looked at Roman. “Does he ever stop?”

Roman’s arm remained around my waist. “Not when he thinks he’s losing something he

owns.”

tiffened at his words. Because Julian had never truly understood the difference between loving me and possessing me. And I was done letting him confuse the two.

Anabela’s POV

Damon and I remained tucked behind the staircase, watching Julian make a complete spectacle of himself in the corridor. He was still trying to force his way back into the room when Aria caught his arm.

“Julian, stop it. You’re embarrassing yourself.”

He rounded on her with a murderous glare. Aria flinched but didn’t release him. “She’s moved on,” she said, lowering her voice. “And if you ask me, I don’t think she ever loved you as much as you believed.”

“Shut your mouth.”

“I’m only telling you the truth.” Aria glanced towards the closed door before continuing. “You were a Blackwell even before the family officially acknowledged you. You were always out of Camila’s league. Maybe she stayed with you because she knew you’d eventually inherit the Blackwell’s royalty”

Julian went still. Beside me, Damon raised an eyebrow. I pressed my lips together to keep from laughing. Aria had apparently decided that if she couldn’t enjoy the confrontation inside the room, she might as well create another one in the corridor.

And Julian, judging by his expression, was listening despite himself.

“Think about it,” Aria continued. “You married Vietnam and suddenly Camila lost her chance at becoming your wife. Now she’s throwing herself at your Alpha brother. Did you see how comfortable she was sitting on his lap? She certainly didn’t look heartbroken to me.”

Julian’s jaw tightened. His eyes drifted towards the room again, and I could almost picture the scene replaying in his head., Poor man. He had walked in expecting Camila to beg him to return, only to find her wrapped around his half-brother instead.

I leaned closer to Damon and whispered, “This is better than the movies in the cinema.” His shoulders shook with a restrained laugh.

Aria wasn’t finished. “Forget her, Julian. She’s not worth all this trouble. Alexander will get tired of her eventually and throw her aside. Then she’ll realise what she’s lost. She’ll come crawling back to you,”

Julian said nothing. For the first time since he’d arrived, his anger seemed to falter beneath something less certain. He stared at the door, his hands slowly curling into fists.

Perhaps Aria’s words had found a place in his mind. Perhaps he was beginning to wonder whether Camila had ever loved him for himself or for the powerful family name he carried.

But whatever doubts Aria planted, one thing remained obvious. The thought of Camila with Roman was eating him alive.

He could tell himself she wasn’t worth the trouble. He could convince himself that Roman would eventually discard her. He could even imagine a future in which Camila returned to

him, full of regret.

None of it changed what he’d seen with his own eyes. Camila had chosen to stay beside Roman. And Julian Blackwell couldn’t bear it.
