Camille

I arrived at the girls apartment shortly after talking to Josiah. I'm tempted to go out and find out answers on my own and I need the girls to talk me out of it.

Rosa opened answered the door grumpily, "Why are you banging on our door this early in the morning?" I smiled at her, "Because I missed you bitches."

She looks over me carefully before her eyes widen, "Oh my God you did it."

"Did what?" Mitchie asks as she walks into the living room in her pajamas. Rosa points at me, "You got dick last night! Ahhh our girl is a woman now!" I begin blushing, "How could you tell?"

She scoffs, "It's obvious! You're glowing with that special after dick glow! Tell us how it was!"

I smile, "Amazing and that's all I'm going to say."

Rosa sighs, "Bitch you're no fun."

"So what's wrong?" Mitchie asks, "If you just got amazing dick for the first time why aren't you at his place getting some morning sex? Cause I know I would."

I chuckle, "Well his phone rang early this morning and it was from Louis, my old boss. He also got a text about some girl that is in danger and then he went to go meet with Louis. I just have a bad feeling that the girl is me and Josiah won't tell me what's going."

"And you're tempted to go snooping huh?" Rosa asks. I nod.

Mitchie pipes in, "Don't do it Cam. You'd just be putting yourself in danger. I'm sure Josiah will handle it."

Rosa shakes her head, "Remember last time she relied on him to handle it? She got kidnapped!"

Mitchie frowns, "But she's not a good snooper either! She gets caught like every time."

"Hey! I'm not that bad at snooping, I usually get my answers don't I?"

Mitchie pauses, "Well how do you plan on getting these answers this time? Meeting with Louis? Following Josiah next time he goes out? Aren't security always behind you?"

"Yeah, true. I don't know I'll think of something. I can't just sit around and wait for something bad to happen."

Ross adds in, "Try to talk to Josiah again, tell him how you're feeling. He loves you right? He'll understand, we don't want you getting yourself hurt."

I sigh, "Fine, I'll talk to him again. I didn't expect that answer from you Rosa, why the change of attitude?"

She smiles, "I'm just tired of you being abducted, it's exhausting."

We all laugh and I end up spending most of the day with the girls before heading back to Josiah. I returned to the house around evening time.

It was dark when I walked in, everything off but the kitchen light where Josiah sat eating apple slices. "So you just decided to ignore all my calls?" He asks in a low voice while avoiding my eyes. I shrugged, "You knew where I was anyway, the guards probably told you."

"That's besides the point, it's 7pm. You've been gone for like 12 hours and just refused to answer a single one of my calls?" By tone of his voice I could sense his annoyance.

I sighed, "I'm sorry, I was upset with you. I didn't think it would be a big deal." He looks up at me, "If the roles were reversed it would be a huge deal. Wouldn't it?"

I finally get what he's hinting at, "I love you, and last night was amazing. Truly, the whole secret phone calls and meetings about me just threw me off. I'm tired of being out of the loop, especially when it regards me. Please tell me what's going on."

He sighs, "Telling you would only put you in more danger. I will tell you when the time is right baby, this just isn't the time." I huff as he continues, "And please don't go around digging for information. I promise when the time is right, you will know everything."

I just nod, "Camille look me in the eye and tell me you won't go looking around. That means no coming by my offices, the club, don't even ask Charlie." I look at him, "I promise not to snoop, but I won't be happy about it."

He smirks, "Gimme a kiss."

I playfully roll my eyes as I peck his lips, "I missed you."

"I missed you more." He says as he pulls me closer to him, bringing our lips together once again. "A couple more rounds?" I ask seductively. He wraps my legs around his waist and begins to carry me upstairs, "You don't have to ask me twice."

—

Josiah was knocked out next to me, arms wrapped around my waist. I know I promised not to snoop, but it was killing me to not know what's going on. His phone had been silently vibrating on and off indicating he was receiving notifications. I've never gone through his phone, I've never needed to. And I know it counts as snooping so I continued to lay there battling with my thoughts.

I wonder what it could be. What dangerous situation could include Mr. Louie, Josiah, and myself. Thinking back, Josiah has asked me why I was in his will. Which I had no idea about either. Ugh! So many unanswered questions.

Josiah's phone vibrates again and I've decided I've had enough. I slide out of Josiah's embrace and off of the bed, leaving a pillow in my place for him. I head over to the bathroom to rinse off my face to help clear my head. The phone vibrates again and I sigh, "Don't do it Cam."

His phone flashes again and I tiptoe over to it taking a peek. A text from Mr. Louie was among the notifications,"I got another message, call me when you can." I look over at Josiah, still sound asleep facing the opposite direction. I use my phone to slide the notification screen to show more. A previous message from Mr. Louie read, "I've returned the money, she should be clear now."

I was more confused than ever now. I shut the phone light off and get back into bed, maybe now that I'm clear everything can be explained. I move the pillow and position myself back into Josiah's arms before dozing off back to sleep.

-

I had woken up in bed alone. Josiah nowhere to be found. I hear his distant voice in the hallway and decide to get out of bed. "You can't just give back money that was never yours." Josiah sounds pissed, and is speaking in a low voice. "Camille might be in the clear with them, but you are not with me. You still owe me, now it's either you work for me or it's your fucking head. Get it done." He lets out a frustrated sigh before turning around to me.

"Good morning babe." He says as he walks up to me. "I'm in the clear? So you can tell me now right?"

He groans, "After breakfast, I'm starving."

He walks away from me and heads back into the bedroom. I frown as I follow behind him. I head downstairs to get breakfast going and he follows behind me soon after. I hand him his plate as he takes a seat at the table. "Thank you baby."

I nod, "Hurry up and eat so you can start talking."

He looks up at me and chuckles.

When he finally finishes his plate and gulps down the last of his juice, he begins talking.

"There is honestly never gonna be a right time to tell you this. This isn't even my story to tell, but Richard is too much of a bitch to do it, and I love you so I'm gonna let you know." I take a seat and wait for him to continue. "First of all, Richard is your biological father."

I pause, "Excuse me? That's not possible."

"This is exactly why I shouldn't be the one to tell you this, your mother had a short affair with him and ended up having you. That's why you're in his will."

I stood there, shocked and actually disgusted. "Richard Louie, the same one that likes to forget my first name every time he see's me. Is my father?" Josiah nods, "I'm sorry."

Several question begin to run through my mind, "So the man who raised me, my father, is only Eli's biological dad?" Josiah nods again, "I have no idea if Eli knows though."

I sit there just completely dumbfounded. Eli is my half sibling. My mother cheated on my father. And my boss is my biological father.

Josiah starts again, "The reason we believed you were in danger is because Richard owes a lot of people money. He steals from lots of people. That's why you saw my men beating him up the first time. He owes me money as you know. The time I uh, held you captive, was because I saw you in his will. Many bad people can see that and like to use people's loved ones to get what they want. Like with your parents."

I raise my head up, "What do you mean?"

"Someone Louie had upset, wanted to mess with him. They wanted to injure your mother to get to him. They ended up killing both of your parents instead by running them off the road."

My eyes widen, "What?"

My mind begins to race again, "My parents, are dead because of him? Because he's a greedy bitch?"

"Camille I- "

I get up out of my seat, angry tears pooling my eyes.

"I've got to go."

And with that I'm out of the door.
