Chapter 321: Camilla’s tragic tale
It was a straight-up insult to Jake; his face twisted in ways inhumanly possible for it to. The most annoying part was that Abrielle said it with a straight non-repentant gaze. She didn’t regret her words and had no plans for taking them back.
He was beyond enraged. The entire cellar was quiet. Everyone was left speechless at how brazen the princess was. She wasn’t shy to judge Jake’s business. Camilla’s eyes almost rolled off too. "Keep dreaming for your so-called husband because he will never see him again." Jake spat, then quickly pulled his priced possession into his trousers.
Abrielle scoffed at him, Did she say she wanted to see Cedric again? They were better apart. Her life was hell because she was associated with Cedric. The original villainess became the villainess who died pathetically at the hands of the man she adored because she loved Cedric a little bit too much for her own good, and she could not let go.
Love is only nice when both sides are sure of their feelings. The best feeling is when you love someone and they love you back. How sweet it sounds. It seemed so easy but was extremely hard to find. Abrielle was deep in her cell so Jake could not reach her and could only scoff.
He had an angry scowl on his face as he turned the trolley away after demanding they return all the soup bowls. He stopped by Camilla’s cell, which was close to the exit.
The gates creaked and made cranking sounds as he unlocked it. His eyes fell on Camilla, who was seated on the floor, with a smirk on her face. "So you remembered me after being turned down." She sneered. She had a cool demeanour but she wasn’t so coldaw inside.
She hated this jerk, but knowing that she truly meant nothing to him and was just a means to pass time truly hurt, yet she kept a straight face. What was so special about Abrielle? she wondered. Camilla wasn’t ugly at all. None of the girls here were ugly, as Death’s Bite had strict criteria about looks, but among them, she stood out.
She always stood out. Before her life turned upside down 4 or 5 months ago her memory was hazy, she had a simple life. Although it wasn’t perfect, it was better than this. Camilla was a year older than Abrielle at 21 and would be turning 22 this year
She grew up in a simple town off the coast of Moonstone Harbour. They were artisans who specialised in making pottery, among other wood works. She grew up in a family, with 3 sisters and a brother who was to inherit their family shop
Life was simple, Camilla was the youngest of 5 children and the most stunning. They said she took her looks from her late grandmother. Because of her looks, her parents didn’t bother teaching her the family trade but focused on grooming her to be the perfect wife for a noble or a rich merchant.
She was the prettiest in town, even when all her sisters got married out to men who could care for them and the children their parents had hope in Camilla and eventually their wishes came through..she didn’t get a noble but married into one of the biggest merchant families at the age of 17, 4 years ago
On the surface, her marriage was perfect; her wealthy husband supported her family and even helped the family skill to recognise more, but something was off. Two years had passed, and the trophy wife hadn’t conceived even once.
