Camilla's pov I picked my bag that was thrown outside with me, as I strode out of the gate, I looked back at the mansion that was before me, I watched the heavy gates slam behind me, my once shiny shoe was covered with dust from the way I was dragged out by the guards. I should have felt sorry, or regret for what I said, but I didn't. Instead a smile tugged at my lips. He thought he could intimidate me, and command me like I had no one. A few words and humiliation of being tossed out, doesn't mean anything. It was better than allowing my pride to be bruised. No man, no matter how rich, arrogant and ruthless he is, had no right to treat me like I was beneath him. Because I know for sure, if I don't get employed here…there are other places, my dignity would be respected.

After I left the estate, I stopped a taxi, slid into the backseat and gave the driver my address. As the car pulled away,I leaned my head against the window, as I watched the city's light and how captivating it was. My thoughts went back to the arrogant asshole, I wasn't built to crumble. The taxi stopped at my house, I paid him and went in. Tonight wasn't a night for self pity, I was going to treat myself like nothing had happened.

Inside, I kicked my shoes off and dropped my bag on the couch, I headed straight to the kitchen. Cooking has already had a way of shaping my day. Most people dislike cooking, they saw it as something stressful, but it was what kept me going. I set the pizza and the orange juice I made from the oranges I took from the garden yesterday evening. I took my duvet, as I curled up on the couch, and put on Netflix. It was a horror movie, smile, which I loved the most.

Later, when my subscription had ended, I took one of my favorite stories. The day we collided. I flipped the pages, one after the other. No one could ever change that about me, I can't bow for anyone just because they are rich, they own the world, you get to control it…no? When I got sleepy,I closed the book, dropped it on my desk, and drifted to sleep.

A few hours later, I woke up with back pain, maybe due to the position I slept. I did a little massage before standing up,and stretching. I thought of visiting my sister, in the hospital, the hospital isn't far from my house, I could take a cab at an affordable price, I missed her so bad.

After a quick shower, I slipped into a soft yellow sundress, which she loves. She usually says, it made me look like sunshine. I tied my head into a bun, as I wore my white scandals, I wouldn't want something that isn't comfortable . I went to the kitchen to mix the flour and the butter. I was making cookies. She loved it. The smell of the cookies filled my apartment, as I gradually packed it in my tote bag, to avoid pouring. I took my keys, and headed out. I stopped a taxi, which took me to the hospital within ten minutes. Everyone was coming in and out, the smell of antiseptic first hit me, as I strode to the receptionist area. “Hi…what ward is Aurora Reed?”, she glanced at me, as she smiled, probably because of my hair. “She's in ward 30”, she replied. I went to see the doctor first. I knocked on the door, he responded and told me to come in. “Miss Reed, how are you doing? It's been a while”, he said, as he took the file on the table. “Dr Heyes, I've really been busy these days, I've not really had time, but I had to see my sister..how is she?”,I asked, which earned me just a stare from Dr Heyes. “Miss Reed, you're fully aware that we can't do the surgery, without any money paid”, he said, with a serious look. “I know, Dr Heyes, I promise to do something before the end of the month”, I reassured him. But deep inside, I had nothing I could boast about, I had no job, nothing, the only person I could call my own was Aurora.

After the conversation between me and the doctor, I headed to her ward. Before she was hospitalized, she didn't like the smell of the hospital, she said it made her sick, and made her tummy thrub, but unfortunately, she had to stay in this hospital because of the damn cancer of a thing. When I reached there, she was asleep, I opened the door gently, not to wake her, a tear slipped down my cheeks, immediately I saw Aurora, my munchkin. She was the only one that kept me going, gave me hope, but she was lying on a hospital bed, lifeless, she was thinner, I am sure the cancer was eating her body system gradually, and I had to do something about it before it got out of hand. “Camiiiii”, she squirmed weakly, immediately she saw me, she tried to sit up, but she was too weak to do so, I just told her she could lie down and talk to me. “How are you doing, munchkin?”, she just smiled and hugged me, while she cried. “I miss you, Camiii, I wanna go back home?”, she said. “You will eventually, just give me a little more time, and we will be back home".

I removed the cookies gently from my bag, and put it on her lap. When she turned to check what it was, she was so happy. “ Camiiii, I love you”, she hugged me. As soon as he opened it, the smell of the cookies filled the ward, she took a bite, and moaned at the taste. I knew she missed cookies, when we were little, we both watched mama make cookies, which we would eagerly wait for, when it was already in the oven.

We discussed about so many things, I told her how I caught Ethan cheating on me, she just laughed, at that made me so happy, I could do anything just to see her smile, I didn't tell her about the arrogant asshole, because she would complain and say it was my fault for speaking rudely to him, but unknowingly, he was the rude bastard. After an hour, she had finished the cookies, and I had to get going. I kissed her on the cheek and promised to visit when I am less busy. It was already late, when I got home. I slipped off my scandals and dropped my bag on the couch, as I went to the bathroom to take a hot steamy shower, there's something it always does to me, I feel more relaxed than ever. After the shower, I did my usual routine, and laid on the bed. I was so sleepy, as I closed my eyes to sleep, suddenly my phone rang, I checked the ID, it was Dr Heyes. I picked the call, and what I heard left me astonished. “Aurora, is having a panic attack”.
