He is arrogant and ruthless, she's humble and poor. He is powerful and Handsome, she's weak, fragile and innocent. There was a twist, she is the kick-ass heroin and he bowed at her feet. Twist and destiny took over....

His boss Rodrigo Campbell was sitting in the passenger seat and ordered him to drive to the glass house in twenty minutes against the usual forty minutes drive.
He was seated with his girlfriend Camilla Dickson, who also was his secretary. He was having his laptop on his thighs and was working on it.
His full attention was on his laptop while Camilla sat with her arms folded across her chest quietly. The sight of which indicates that she was afraid of something.
Rodrigo is the richest dude in the country at the young age of 25. The President of the Campbell's group and heir to the entire Campbell's Companies worldwide.
He is tall, handsome with a powerful aura. A private person and hates publicity. He was an eye candy to the female species and highly admired by his male counterparts.
He is extremely devoted to the best interest of the company and within three years he took over the company, it's horizons have spread far and wide.
Rodrigo turned and glanced at Camilla sitting quietly and he hived a smile. The latter was lost in her thoughts and she missed his glance.
Rodrigo recounted their first meeting in his heart and he grinned. He never imagined that things could work out so beautifully between them.
To say the truth, he wasn't quite the gentleman the day they met. He shook his head and continued working on his computer.
"Penny for your thoughts?" He teased, shutting down the computer and placing it aside. He pulled her to himself and she willingly snuggled into him.
"What's going on in that head of yours?" He asked, placing a featherlight kiss on her temple. He loves her and she loves him too.
She had saved his life and he had fallen in love with her afterward. He never thought a day would come in his life that he would be saved by a girl, until Camilla did just that.
"Rodrigo" Camilla called gently, playing with his shirt buttons. If there's anything she wants the most right now, it is for him to let her go.
"Mm..mm" Rodrigo grunted. He looked at her, his lower jaw directly above her hair. He stroked her hair and his other hand pulled her tighter.
" Can you just spare me this lunch,I don't want to come with you" She requested. His parents disliked her already. She doesn't want to belittle herself more by following him to the glass house.
" No, I won't," he paused, before declaring " rest" and caressed her back gently. He knew that was her fear. She doesn't want to accompany him to lunch in his parents house.
His mother had called him an hour ago to come over for lunch. He had refused with an excuse that he had a heap of work on his desk but she insisted and said it was his grandfather's orders.
He had no option than to come. His grandfather was one person he couldn't refute. He must obey no matter how difficult it was for him.
He was used to having lunch with his secretary who invariably is his girlfriend Camilla. Hence he asked her to accompany him to lunch at his parents place.
They had to face the monster once and for all and show their unrelenting love for each other. What's the use of running away from reality and what they feel for each other?
Being a coward will do them no good. He loves Camilla and not Emma. He can't help it, his heart only bears for Camilla.
Joel drove into the vast compound of the glass house. It's called a glass house because the exterior was made of glass transparent and glittering.
His parents lived there and that was where his father also lived before his death. And now, his grandfather and mother lived there with the servants or when his sister Mirabel comes around.
Joel drove until he parked at the garage and Rodrigo gently tapped Camilla to wake her up. She shivered and looked up at him with a questioning gaze.
"Relax, I am here" he coaxed her. No one is going to eat when up or whip her with a cane. At least he had brought her and would definitely protect her.
She is his girlfriend and not anyone else's. He knew his mother had met her several times and had been hostile toward her but she hasn't warned her to stay off.
He was the one to have an argument or tussle with his family and not her. She shouldn't be scared but be calm, composed with self esteem.
Camilla nodded and sighed softly. She was definitely going to still meet them or some other day if she was going to love Rodrigo forever.
Rodrigo alighted and held the door for Camilla to step out. She did and looked at the beautiful glass house and then at Rodrigo before intertwining her hand with his and walked along.
"Your place is good" Camilla complimented and Rodrigo smiled and said she was going to be a part of the family soon.
As they approached the house, they heard laughter coming from the house which definitely belong to the feminine gender:
Camilla was dazed by Rodrigo's words. It wasn't like Mirabel hadn't told her that Rodrigo was getting married to someone else, but hearing him saying it to her was like drilling her heart with a dagger. He could say to her that he was getting married and doesn't want her around him to avoid distraction. Oh she's always been a distraction to him. "Yeah, you heard me right" Rodrigo emphasised it, this time, he stood up, he wasn't interested in saying anything further. "Stop there Rodrigo" Camilla called but the latter didn't stop nor turned to look back at her. He wasn't interested in talking more with her. Seeing her, she looks so unclean before him. Camilla went after him but Rodrigo already got in and shut the door. She banged the door,but Rodrigo wouldn't listen nor open it. "Is this how you really wanted us to part? If you get married to someone else, I won't let you have access to your kids. We would shut you out of our lives forever. I loved you and have lived
Rodrigo's countenance changed. What is going on here? Why does he feel they are not happy that he was going to be married simply because that person is not Camilla. "What sort of question is that? Nothing is going to happen to her and her kids. I can't remember having kids anywhere ok?" Rodrigo declared and gently kissed his niece's chin, placed her down to go to her mother. He stood up. "I have an important business to settle tonight" he declared and was going to stroll out with his long legs when Lola called: "Rodrigo" she called and the latter paused. He didn't move on but he didn't turn back as well. Lola walked over and stood in front of him. He looked up at his face and held his hands "I know I haven't been the best mum to you concerning your love life,but please, take a deep breath and search your heart for who you truly love. Camilla is actually waiting for you. And your kids just left the house a few hours again before your arrival. They've become an integral
Two years later Jade and Jude ran around the glass house with their little cousin Jasmine. Jasmine is a little blond girl. She's beautiful and chubby like her cousin Jade. Mirabel and Camilla had gone out together, particularly to Justin's engagement and left their kids with their grandma. Lola was always so excited whenever she got to see her grandchildren. The first time Camilla brought the kids to their great-grandfather for blessings, she couldn't hide her excitement. She doesn't need anyone to tell her who they are. Immediately she saw them, she knew they were her grandchildren. The boy was a spitting image of his arrogant father. She hugged them and sobbed. She really sobbed that day. Partly for her dear husband who did live to see his grandchildren and secondly for Rodrigo who had been deprived the right of a father by Camilla. Larry Campbell had blessed the kids that day and she did as well. If Brian was alive, he wouldn't have blessed them better than her and
Camilla arrived at Justin's Mansion. She succeeded in getting passed the securities because they knew her as Justin's friend and she's been there a few times in the past. She arrived at Justin's place and was allowed to get in. She got to his sitting room and waited, Justin already saw her from his CCTV camera. Justin came downstairs and saw Camilla tossing back and forth. He squinted and wondered what might have happened this time. Has Rodrigo threatened her and she is seeking solace at his place? Anyways,it probably can't be anything related to that scandal. That's in the past now. Camilla paused and turned sharply to come face to face with Justin. Her eyes were red indicating she had been sobbing. Those red eyes were spitting fire. Her frown made Justin Swaras be taken aback. "Camilla, is anything the matter?" Justin asked. Coming over to pull her to himself but was dazed when Camilla raised her hand and motioned him to halt. "Are you really my friend Justin
The next few days went smoothly. Jared and Mira have gotten a separate apartment and no longer share the same Mansion with Camilla. Camilla was now living with Sara and the servants. Her kids and their nanny. To be more protective, she ordered that they should never be taken out of the Mansion without her consent. She had become restless after that day she saw Rodrigo and he ignored her. He had looked forward to her letting go of her grievance against him and now that she was ready, he wasn't interested anymore, at least that's what it appeared to be. She needed to find Jared. Talk things over with him and ask him if he ever found out anything about Rodrigo's scandal, who was actually responsible for it. She was going to find Jared the next day when she got to find him at work. She sighed, what is Rodrigo doing at the time? Was he in his study, doing some work as usual or was he drinking and partying? But he seldom does the latter. If he did,it means it is important a
" Aren't you going to get us an ice cream?" Jade asked. Now, her mummy was going to get them all ice cream but she returned feeling like she saw a ghost. "Yes, baby. But I've changed my mind" Camilla replied. She suddenly was no longer interested in eating an ice cream but to return home and lock herself in her room. "Was it that cute uncle that made you change your mind?" Jade propped. Her mummy changed her mind after walking behind that uncle who seemed not to hear her calling him. She saw her from the car. Camilla was dazed. She saw her following behind Rodrigo? She really did to have ask such a question. But when she thought that Jade referred to Rodrigo as uncle, her heart bleeds. He was supposed to be called daddy as they call her mummy. But a daughter saw her father and doesn't know the relationship she shared with him. And even called him uncle. "Just accept it the way mummy said it. Can't you see that the uncle ignored mummy? Is that not enough to lose i
