A Son for A Billionaire novel Chapter 38

EPISODE THIRTY NINE

Theme: I don’t love you, Camilla.

(CLARK CORPORATION: ACE CLARK OFFICE)

Camilla tossed back her blond curls and lifted her snooty little nose into the air as she walked into Ace Clark’s office.

“Hi Camilla,” Ace greeted her as he stood up from the swivel chair.

“Hello Ace,” Camilla responded as she dropped her handbag on the table.

“So...how are you doing? Please take a seat.” Ace gestured to the chair facing him directly.

Camilla eyed the chair before turning her gaze back at him. “I am not here for chitchat Ace, but as your fiancee I have every right to know what's going on. I need an explanation for everything on the news.” She blurted out.

Camilla kept telling herself that it wasn’t true. Everything on the news was just some kind of woman trying to extort from her husband to be. But somehow the news seemed true telling from the happy look on Ace Clark’s face during the time spent with his son, and that gave her what she needed to know. And that’s why she was right there with him trying to get the final truth.

“I am really sorry Camilla.” Ace Clark apologized.

“Is that child really yours, Ace? I keep thinking that the news can’t be true.” Camila gritted.

Ace sighed. “Yes, the boy in the news is my son.” He answered.

Camilla fought back tears that threatened to spill. “So why..why...why..didn’t you tell me?” She stuttered.

“I am sorry Camilla but I just found out myself too few days ago.” Ace replied as he tucked his hands into his pocket.

No! This can’t be true! Everything seemed like a dream to Camilla. “Why didn't you tell me that photographer was your ex?! And why didn't you tell me about your son the moment you found out about him?!” Camilla questioned in a slightly raised tone.

“Listen Camilla it’s not what you are thinking, Ivy and I didn't really date. We just-“

Camilla interrupted him. “Oh! I think I get what is happening now! So she is one of those girls you spend the nights with? One night stand? Or a fling? Isn't it?” She snorted.

“No..I mean Yes..Yes...it just happened. I mean it was just a one time thing.” Ace Clark stammered.

“I see...a one night stand..” Camilla has to sneer at his words.

That one time thing had meant a whole lot to him. That one night with a lone girl had changed his life for good forever. She had made connections that he couldn’t break free. He shared a bond with her that he wouldn’t never want to break. His feelings was deep rooted for years that he can’t possibly get over her. He had tried to forget her but she lived in his heart and head and mind throughout the years. But no one would ever understand him.

“Camilla, I am sorry you got dragged into this matter But I want you to know that whatever I had with Ivy was more than the one night stand you think it is.” He was deeply in love with Ivy.

“Let's make something clear here. Ace, I don't want to believe you are in love with a girl you had one night with? I mean falling in love with the mother of your child again.” Camilla pointed out with a raised eyebrows.

“Well..it happened that I had feeling for her when we met and I never stopped loving her.” Ace Clark admitted with sincerity in his tone.

There was no need hiding the truth from Camilla. He was ready to end everything and pay for the consequences of his actions.

Camilla frown deepened and anger and jealous stirred within her. “Why did you agree to marry me?! No..Ace I want to believe that finding out about you son’s existence won’t affect us right?” She demanded.

Ace looked straight at her. “I want to be a father to my son.” He replied.

“Ace, I am not asking you not to be a father to your son. And about your son we can go to court and claim him. I will raise him as my own.” Camilla said.

Ace furrowed her eyebrows. “The last thing I want to do is take my son away from his mother. He's all she has, so taking him away from her will be like telling her to stop breathing.” He countered.

“He has been with her for nine years so you have every right to claim him as his father. I can hire the best lawyer to help us out. Ace-“
