His Lethal Love by Monika Singh (short story to read txt) 📗

Archie Garcia!! Maura’s older brother. He reached out to me and helped me to stand up. I felt my heart was pulsating so hard that it was hurting my chest. My palm got sweaty and my breath shook. 

“Camille!!” Maura exclaimed, her eyes widened. 

“Are you alright?” Archie asked while gently examining my hand. 

“I’m fine, thank you,” I mumbled, keeping my eyes on the ground because I didn’t want to look into Scott’s eyes. I knew what I would find if I looked into his eyes.

“Miss Camille Davidson, what a small world?” A chill went through me when I heard his dark, yet sexy, voice. I lifted my chin to look at him. Once my eyes locked with his, I couldn’t stop myself from shivering. He was no longer the man he was eight years ago. He appeared to be formidable and cruel. His blue eyes nearly looked dark due to rage. 

As I gripped the serving tray, I retreated my steps, my cheeks burning from humiliation. Everyone was watching us with keen interest. There was a time when Scott Martinez used to work for me, and now I am working for him. I was fully aware of his intentions. I knew why he was there and what he wanted from me. That time he would never let me go after all I was the one who had destroyed his small world. 

I murdered his brother. 

“Where’s the manager?” Scott barked and made me jolt. His fingers curled into tight fists as his jaw clenched harder. “Where the fuck is the manager?!” 

“Scott, listen...” Archie tried to speak out, but Scott didn’t let him. 

In a few seconds, the manager rushed into the hall, panting and sweating. “Yes, sir.” 

“What did I say?” Scott snarled and charged at him as if he was about to punch him right in the face. “You’ve been notified earlier not to hire this woman!” He shouted and made the manager tremble in fear. I bit into my lower lip angrily. “What the fuck is she doing here?” 

My legs trembled as I tried hard to be brave enough to face this monster. 

“I...I don’t…” the manager stuttered and glanced at me briefly. “I’m sorry, sir.” 

“She is a prostitute,” Maura muttered and crossed her arms over her chest.

“Fire her right fucking away!” 

“Okay, sir.” The manager gave him a quick before approaching me. 

“You’re fired!” He said firmly and I squeezed my eyes.

Again he did this!! 

“But...I…” before I could utter. 

“You lied to us!” The manager cut me off, glowering at me. “You hid your true identity.”

I let out a sharp breath before turning around and heading towards the door. 

“Wait!” Scott said from behind me and made me stop. “Do you want money?” He taunted and my jaw flexed. “I’ll give you.” He approached me and brought his mouth near my ear, making my breath hitch. “But you’ll have to pick one man from this party and fuck him right in front of my eyes, Miss Davidson.” 

“I’d rather eat shit!” I hissed out without looking at him and heading towards the exit door.  

“Then why my brother, Camille Davidson? Why did you pick my brother?” He growled and I went pale. “Why him?”

I let out a shaky breath before facing him again. “Because I loved him!”
