chapter 3

"Bye Cam'z! I'll see you on Monday" Janella said goodbye then kissed my cheek.

I just sparingly smiled in response.

I waited for it to leave and then took my phone to check if uncle texted ... And yeah, there was a message from him.

From uncle;

That's where the company will deliver after your class.

That is all that is contained in the message.

I sighed. I decided not to text back because Mang Rey is also close.

A few minutes later it arrived. Maybe uncle told him because he voluntarily took me to the company where uncle works.

"Thank you very much, Mang Rey." I said as soon I stepped out from the car.

We are now here in front of Gomez’s group of companies owned by Grandpa. Papa used to manage it, but since he is in the states now, uncle first managed it.

"Good afternoon, Ms. Camila" one of the employees greeted me.

Almost all the staff here already know me because sometimes I go with Papa everytime he comes here.

"Good afternoon too. Is uncle there?" I asked.

No one else knows that uncle and I are married except the family and the judge who married us. Other information regarding our marriage is all kept in private.

I don't know how Janella found out about that. Perhaps they used their family connection.

"Sir is in his office. Would you like me to accompany you going there?" She said politely.

I smiled and shook my head sparingly. "It's okay, I can manage. Thanks."

Then I immediately went to the elevator. I went inside and pressed the 18th floor.

Seconds later I was in front of his office. I took a deep breath first then knocked slowly.

"Come in."

When I heard its voice coming from within my heart pounded again for some inexplicable reason.

This is so weird.

"W-why are you sending me here uncle?" My immediate question. I couldn’t help but look directly at him. Maybe because he's so intimidating?

"Look at me, Camila." He commands using his deep baritone voice.

I swallowed one after another as my chest heaved even more. Damn.

I didn't want to, I was forced to look at it and meet its serious eyes.

Then it was as if I just wanted to run out of the building. It’s really scary when he’s this serious. I feel like he's going to suck me in for being so serious.

"Uncle ..." He cutted me off.

"Do we have a problem Camila? You've been avoiding me for two days."

Camila

"Is it because I kissed you?" Again uncle said.

I bit my lip very hard and then nodded slowly. What's the point of denying, right? That's really the reason why I avoid uncle. That kiss of his made my feelings for him even more confused. He messed up my heart and mind even more after that simple kiss.

"You should get used to it, Camila. I am your husband, and so it is normal for me to kiss you ... My wife." And he smirked teasingly.

Suddenly my cheeks became hot and I immediately averted my gaze.

This is the first time he called me 'wife', and I didn't know that this is how I felt upon hearing that word from him. It feels like my heart is about to explode inside my chest. Damn.

"A-I don't want to train myself with your kisses, uncle. T-this is so wrong. You're my unc-" I was cut off by his deadly glares.

All of a sudden, the previously smiling aura on his face was suddenly replaced by a frightening aura.

Did I say something wrong?

I bit my lower lip and simply played with my fingers on the hand. It was as if I was out of breath because of the looks he was throwing at me. Suddenly I just wanted to disappear in front of him.

"For once, can you forget about that first. Think of me as your husband. Your husband, Camila." He said, emphasizing the word 'husband'.

Can I do it? Can I not think that he is my blood relative? That he is my father's half brother, he's my uncle. If the world is turned upside down- that won't change the fact that my uncle is still him, that we are a family.

I took a deep breath as I'm trying to clear up my mind. Maybe I should try look on the other side, too. I always imprinted in my brain that he was my uncle and we were blood relatives, that this relationship was forbidden. What if I try to forget about that thing for a while? Even just for today, I will think of him as my wife. Just my husband.

"Su-I'll try, unc- I mean, I'll try, Matteo." Was the only thing I said.

His lips curved up. "Matteo ... I just liked my name, Camila. It sounds sexy ..." He blurted out. Once again, its old smiles returned.

Damn. He looks so hot!

"You're turning me on, baby ..." He said that I didn't hear much because he seemed to mean to soften his words.

what?

Carrying the food that unc- I mean Matteo and I took out, I immediately got out of the car. I waited for Matteo to come out so we could enter the house together.

I texted Nana Celia earlier and said we might go home at night because Matteo has finished a lot of paperwork. I thought we would sleep in the office because it was past 9pm.

"Sleepy?"

Matteo approached me and caressed my face.

Here goes my heart again ... It's going crazy again just because of the simple things this guy does or says. With each passing day my feelings for him only deepen, though I know it's wrong, I shouldn't feel this way

... But, how can I stop my heart? No matter what I do, I can't dictate my heart to who it can love.

"Camila ..."

I brought back to my reverie after hearing his voice. Because of the depth of my thoughts, I forgot that he was just beside me.

I yawned slightly and now I could feel the weight of my eyelids.

"I'm sleepy na po"

"Alright. Let's go in"

He took the plastics I was holding from me and he brought them himself. Then, he held my waist and together, we entered the house.

I secretly smiled.

As we entered we came across a boy who was currently sitting while watching a TV show.

It’s not familiar to me because I’ve only just seen it. It's impossible for my brother because I'm only a child. One of my cousins ​​is also vague because I know everyone.

And this kid ... Who is he?

There was a look of astonishment on my face as I looked up and Matteo's serious face greeted me. He stared hard at the boy. Does he know?

"Daddy!" Suddenly the boy ran and immediately rushed to hug Matteo.

It took a few seconds before my brain finally processed what it said.

D-daddy?
