Chapter 84
~Cam’s POV~
I woke up grumbling because I didn’t feel well. I stretched my legs, hands, and body as I weed the
beautiful morning. I could feel my heartbeat getting faster and faster. I could also feel the anxiety rising
within me, which made me want to vomit all of a sudden. Within a split second, I was already tearing
through the hallway in the direction of the restroom. I felt bile rising in my throat, and I started to
continuously throw up while holding the side of the toilet bowl. I wiped the inside of my mouth with the
palm of my hand and then sat back down on the floor of the bathroom. I am so tired and exhausted by
the amount of food I threw out, not to mention that I haven’t eaten anything yet. I used my hand to push
the loose strands of my hair away from my face. I tried to use the ground for bnce, but I fell back
down as I tried to get up. I remained motionless in the same spot because I had no idea what to do.
Even the effort needed to make a phone call to ask for help is beyond my capacity right now. After what
seemed like twenty minutes of sitting on the floor, I attempted to stand up again as I felt the urge to
throw up again; however, I was unable to do so. I started crawling to the toilet and clung to the toilet’s
sides as I puked again. I was too queasy to look up when I heard the bathroom door fling open, and I
didn’t know who was suddenly petting my back, but I couldn’t care less. I was just relieved I wasn’t
alone.
After I was done, I finally looked up to find none other than Chris. I could tell that he was anxious, and I
could make out the movement of his lips, but I was unable to understand what he was saying. I sat
back down on the floor, and he lowered himself to his knees next to me, gently stroking my face. I
grabbed his hands and tried to bnce on him.
“Princess, you don’t look like you’re in very good shape. Let me call a doctor.” I was finally able to hear
him. I nodded and flushed the toilet before dragging myself to the sink. Once there, I turned on the
water and sshed cold water on my face multiple times before putting some of it in my mouth to clean
it. I reached for a towel, and just as I was about to wipe my mouth with it, I felt the life force leaving my
body. Before I knew it, everything went ck, and I lost control of my body. Thest thing I heard was
Chris calling my name.
When I finally opened my eyes, it had been four hours since everything had transpired, and my
thoughts were racing as I tried to piece together what had taken ce. I sat back on my bed, but it
wasn’t my bed, and it certainly wasn’t my vi. I realized that I was in a strange ce. I was about to
stand up when I heard someone say something that stopped me.
“Don’t move. You have to get some sleep. Doctor’s orders.” He said that as he held me by the shoulder
and tried to make me fall back asleep.
“Where am I?” I asked with a hoarse voice, remembering suddenly that I had just thrown up and was
knocked out.
“Home, you are home.” I took a look around, and after some consideration, I came to the conclusion
that this is not my house, but rather his.
“But this is not my house.”
“That is not your home, Princess. Your home is right here, with my son and me.”
“Son, where has my son gone?” As I struggled to get out of bed, I questioned. But then an angelic
voice spoke to me, soothing my entire being.

“Hey, Mom, I got a chocte cake for you. I made it myself.” I grabbed the cake and started eating as if
it had been years since thest time I had food in my mouth. That made Liamugh. “Would you like
more?” Like a little kid, I nodded, and Liam came back with another piece of cake for me.
“Oh my God, you have no idea how good this is, baby.” I breathed out and devoured the cake. Liam
squealed withughter, climbed onto the bed to hug me, and mumbled,
“Maybe my little sister loves the cake.” I choked on the cake.
“What!”
“Thank you very much, Mom.” As he walked away, heughed. When I turned around, Chris was
smiling down at me.
“How are you feeling?”
Like shit!
I turned to look at him, expecting him to exin what was going on, but instead, he sat down on the
bed, pulled me into his arms, and then covered me with the sheet. While we were lying down on the
bed, I had my head on his chest, and his chin was resting on my head while he wrapped his hands
around me. I had the distinct impression that he was extremely possessive of me in some way.
“Princess, I have decided that I do not want you to continue working. I will take over thepanies.
You have done enough, and I don’t want you to put yourself at risk. Luke will be taking over your
responsibilities, and you will be working from home from this point forward. You can design here just
like before.” I looked at him with wide eyes. I opened my mouth to say something, but he cut me off.
“And that is final. No discussion.” He smoothed the back of his hair with the palm of his hand.
“What exactly is going on?”
“Listen, I love you so much that the possibility that I might have to live without you one day makes me
feel sick to my stomach. I don’t want you to go anywhere. I’ll pick Liam up and drop him off at school. I
will be doing everything from now on. You have been overworking yourself with the threepanies.
Right now, I want you to focus on CAMMY. I’ll speak with your brother about MDZ Enterprise. For the
time being, I do not want your involvement in that establishment.
“What gives you the right to make that decision for me?”
“Because I am your husband, and I am sick and tired of this cat-and-mouse game. I want my wife and
son to return home. I long for my family. Cam Christopher Grayston.” He’s trying to keep something
from me. I just can’t pin down what it is. “I want to sleep next to you, and I want your face to be the one
that I see for the veryst time at night and the very first thing that I see when I wake up every single
day. I’ll be damned if I put you out there for the Coopers to toy with.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Just know that your priorities from now on are your family and yourpany, nothing else. Am I
clear?”
But then… I nodded.
What’s with the sudden change?
