His Lethal Love
Chapter 56

Camille POV.

"Col..." I screamed out in fear when she rushed toward the door. "Oh my God!" I slapped my hand against my chest, feeling my throbbing heartbeat under my palm. "How many times do I have to tell you not to rush, honey?" "Conan is here," she mumbled, jumping to hold the door knob. "Please open the door, Mum."

As I approached her, I sighed and glared at her. My heart instantly melted when I saw my four year old's smile. I never thought I would be blessed with such an adorable baby girl. I had endured a lot of hardship while she was in my womb. If Conan was not there for me I might have lost my second baby also. Our plane crashed while I was a few months pregnant. I had suffered from internal bleeding. It was Conan who saved my life by donating his blood. I still remembered the days when I was in bed, gazing at him with my blank expression. I thought I had lost my Colette and I would never see her again. However, Conan placed his warm hand on mine and gave me a smile and told me my baby is healthy inside me. "Mum...!" Colette shouted and shook me by my legs. "Conan is knocking at the door. Please open it."

"Um...I'm sorry, honey." I quickly answered the door and found a smiling Conan whose eyes were set on our daughter. Colette is our daughter. We grew her together. Scott might be her biological father but Conan was her entire world. He never backed away from his father's responsibility no matter how difficult it was.

"Pa!" Colette exclaimed excitedly as she saw Conan.

"Cookie," Conan grabbed her and carried her in his arms. Col quickly wrapped an arm around his neck before giving him a kiss on his cheek. "How was your first day of school?"

"It was amazing!" Col smiled widely. "I have made..." she looked at her fingers and counted them. "...three friends and...I even shared with them my favorite chocolate cookies." "Wow!" Conan gazed at her as his eyes shone with fatherly love and warmth. "That's great."

"How many friends did you make in the US, Pa? Have you brought my superhero autograph?" she asked keenly.

And my face fell in disappointment. Unfortunately, my daughter was a big fan of Scott Martinez, who played the role of Colbey Moontrack. It was one of his superhit dragon movies, which she liked the most. "Yup, here you go." Conan pulled out a pink piece of paper and presented it to her, which made her scream in excitement.

"Have you told him my name, Pa? Did he have a huge silver sword in his hand? Did he have a sharp mark under his jaw? Have you visited his traditional town? How did he dress? I saw him hiding in the water for two days in Blue Dragons..." "Col, stop it now," I cut her in half and snatched her from Conan's arms before putting her down on the floor. "Conan must have been tired. Let him take some rest before you resume your chit chat."

"Mum..." Col pouted and her eyes fell into sadness. "Pa, are you tired?" she asked Conan which earned a smile on his face.

"Of course not, Cookie." He knelt in front of her, caressing her dark hair lovingly. "Let's go to Disneyland."

And I snorted in annoyance. "You two will stay at home until I am done with my project," I said firmly. "And it's my order." "Ooooo..." Both Col and Conan said simultaneously. "The queen of darks."

I grumbled. The queen of dark was one of my flop movies so far and they both teased me with that name. "Shut up!" I glared at them before storming into the house. Conan was an incredibly good father, and I envied him. At her command, he could do anything she wanted. I had never thought that a playboy could do such things. No matter how busy he was in his career he always had time for our daughter. It was rare to replace this kind of person in life.

I looked at them through the kitchen window as they were playing together. Conan was still in his blue navy suit. His tie hung loosely around his neck and his hair was messy. However, he still had this alive smile on his face. Despite hours of travel he was playing with Colette. Our daughter. Though I was not in an official relationship with Conan, we lived like a married couple. We slept in one bed, we used one bathroom, we had one wardrobe and we had sex sometime. Conan never proposed to me because he knew somewhere I was not ready for marriage.

Sometimes I observed him and thought how he could fall for me so deeply. I still couldn't figure out the relationship between us. Maybe we could call ourselves friends with benefits. Conan was attractive, rich and humble. I didn't deserve him at all because I could never repay what he did for me in these past four years.

"Pa...!" Col let out a joyous scream when Conan pushed the tire swing around. She laughed and swung up and down, letting her hair fly in the air. I was not worried she might fall and get hurt because no one knew better than her father how to take care of his daughter.

I started to prepare for dinner and left father and daughter alone as they were spending some quality time after a long week.

"Good night, sweetheart," I smiled and kissed Col on her chubby cheek.

"It's time to ride the rainbow to dreamland, Cookie." Conan brushed her hair lovingly and left a kiss on her forehead.

"Good night, Mum and Paa," Col said before she lay down on the bed and pulled a duvet over her head. "I am tired." she mumbled and the next moment I heard her tiny snort.

I looked at Conan who was already staring at me with crossed arms. "We need to go to bed," I said and he broke into a playful laugh.

"Yeah, we need to go to bed," he smirked, eyeing me from head to toe. "You seem prettier than before." He stepped up to me and caressed my long dark hair. "I missed you, Cami."

"Me too." I lowered my gaze, feeling my racing heartbeat under my chest. I gasped when he held my hand and dragged me out of Col's room. I broke into laughter when he slammed me against the wall and kissed me firmly. I grabbed his head and kissed him back. A moment later our clothes ripped and our bodies pressed against each other. I inhaled sharply when Conan caressed my neck. His hand sliding down between my legs.

I squeezed my eyes, trying hard not to think about him. Scott's memories continue to haunt me. I still remembered his eyes on me and his touch on my body.

'I love you, Cam!' His voice buzzed.

"No!" I gasped in horror and pushed him away from me roughly. I looked at him,confused for a while, and said nothing.

"Cami..." Finally Conan broke the silence between us. "Are you okay?"

For a few minutes, I was unable to speak anything but eventually I found my voice back and let out, "It's Scott..." I bit into my lower lip, and met Conan's eyes whose expression flashed with disappointment.

"I'm getting a shower," he said with a hint of annoyance and disappeared into the bathroom. I closed my eyes, sighing heavily.

I didn't know how long I had to endure his memories. Sometimes it suffocated me. Scott might not be in my life, but I still felt my heart was holding me back. I shook my head and approached the wardrobe before pulling my night dress. Conan got out after a few minutes, his mood was still sour.

"How was your trip?" I asked him, ignoring a deep frown on his face.

"It was okay," he sighed and dried his hair with a towel. "I have dealt with Mr. Arthur and he is ready to invest in our next project."

"That's great!" I chirped out.

Conan finally smiled after seeing my excitement. "Guess what, I met Maura. She looked like hell." he scoffed. "She has been arrested in a drug case."

"I heard she has become drug addicted."

"Yeah." Conan sat next to me. "She would have been shut off from Hollywood if it was about Scott Martinez. She has been offered work because she is his wife." he paused for a moment before continuing. "She once got an offer from an adult movie."

I laughed. "Did she accept that?"

"She did..." Conan grabbed my hand, massaging it gently. "But Scott didn't like it so she left in the midst of shooting which caused Scott a huge amount of penalty."

I smirked. "He will have to pay for everything he did to us, Conan and our revenge game is soon to start."

"I have contacted Arthur. He will help us involve Scott Martinez in our project."

"Once he is trapped he will not know how to get out. I have been waiting for this moment for so long, Conan. I can't let it be. I won't sleep until I turn him into the same poor Scott Martinez."
