Chapter 3 Episode 3

Camila woke up with a terrible hangover. The first thing she felt when her eyes opened was her head banging. It was as if someone had placed a rock on her head. When she opened her eyes, she didn't move her body. She was trying to understand where she was because she was in a strange environment. She couldn't remember how she got to the room. She struggled to remember how she got to the hotel room, but she couldn't remember anything. She only remembered how she was drinking at the bar with a total stranger. She looked around and saw that she was in a very beautiful and luxurious room; it was a presidential suit. She walked around the room and all she could do was open her mouth in awe. She had never been in a luxurious suit before. She came back to the room and noticed that André had left a bundle of a 100-dollar note on the table with a little sticky note that read, I'm sorry I ruined your dress. I hope you like the replacement. Cheers! Camila turned and saw a new dress hanging in the wardrobe. It was a lovely red dress with shimmers all over it. Camila’s jaw dropped when she saw the price tag. “Twenty thousand dollars! For just a dress, this is way above my tuition fees when I was still in school. Camila was still admiring the dress when she heard a knock on the door. “Room service. Camila opened the door and saw over four lines of different kinds of food trolly. “Good morning, ma'am. Mr. André asked us to serve you breakfast. They left the food in the room and left. Camila was confused; she didn't even know who she hooked up with last night. She remembered his face and his name but that was all she had; there was no contact or anything. She was hungry and confused; she didn't know where to start, as the food was too much for her. It was as if she were throwing a party. Camila decided to dig in when she found another sticky note on the appetizer plate. I did not know what you'd like so I ordered a little bit of everything. After she had her breakfast, she packed her things and left. She got to the reception and asked for Andre’s contact information, but the receptionist told her that Andre didn't leave any, so she made her way home. Throughout her ride home, she was smiling. She had never been treated like a princess before. She got home and tried to sneak into her room when her mother called out her name. “Where have you been, Camila? You didn't come back home last night. “I slept at the office, mom; I had so much work to do. “A friend of yours came by to look for you; he said you guys were very good friends in college. “A friend of mine? I never had any male friends in college; I cannot think of any. Did he see what his name was? “He told me his name but I cannot remember it, but he said he'd be back later. "Ok, mom, I am so tired and thirsty. Don't worry, I will get you water. Camila’s mother went to the kitchen to get water. She handed the glass of water to Camila, and as Camila was gulping her water, suddenly someone knocked on the door. "Oh, young man, you are back. “Yes ma. Is Camila around now? "Yes, she just got back; come in. When Camila saw who walked into her house, the glass cup she was holding dropped and broke on the floor. Camila’s mother rushed toward her. "Camila, are you ok? What happended? "Nothing, mom; the cup slipped from my hand. “Welcome your guest, and I will clean this up. Camila was shaking; she was too shocked to say a word. “Hello Camila, Is that how to treat an old friend? Won't you offer me a seat? Camila’s mother walked in before he finished his statement. "Oh, my dear, have a seat. Camila is probably stressed from work, which is why she is acting strangely. Luca took a seat and joined Camila and her mom for dinner. “I see where Camila got her beauty from; you are really beautiful, ma. “Thanks for the compliment; I do not want to blush like a three-year-old. You are a very fine young man, too. Forgive my manners. You told me your name but I forgot. Can you remind me? “Luca ma, my name is Luca. “Camila, you haven't said a word to your friend since he came in; are you not happy to see him? I thought this was supposed to be a great reunion considering the fact that you guys were close friends in college. "I'm just stressed, mom; Luca understands that. Camila’s mom was done with her food so she left them on the dining table and made her way into her room. As soon as Camila’s mother entered her room, Luca stood up and grabbed Camila by her neck. “You whore, you think you can run away from me? “Let me go, Luca. What do you want from me? “I want you back, Camila; I want you to be mine. “That would be over my dead body; I would rather die than date a man like you. Now let me go, you phycopath. Luca left her neck but he gave her a very scary stare. "Be careful of what you wish for Camila; here is my address; if I don't see you, I will kill your mother. Luca lifted up the side of his shirt and Camila saw his short gun. “Do not test me, Camila; you know what I am capable of. Luca gave Camila a kiss on her forehead and left her house. Camila fell into the seat behind her. "Why is my past hunting me? How did he find my house? With so many unanswered questions, she was troubled; she didn't know how to escape Luca again. “I am doomed! So I muttered.
