Chapter 306
“What do you mean, what happened? Alexander Ramirez kept the whole thing quiet, made sure the media never found out. You seriously didn’t know?” Camila snapped back, her eyes locked on Eric Bailey, furious and determined, like she truly believed every word she said.
“It was Natalie Watson! She was jealous. She pushed me down the stairs. That’s why I lost the baby p>
Eric stared at her, studying her face for even a trace of guilt, but there was nothing. If he hadn’t seen her at that bar while she was pregnant, if he hadn’t overheard her mutter that she didn’t even want the baby, maybe he’d believe her. Maybe he’d blame Natalie for everything.
Eric grabbed Camila’s shoulders, his fingers digging in as he demanded, “How could you do this? That was our child p>
The pain shot through her shoulders. Camila twisted, fighting to break free, but she couldn’t get loose.
“I already told you,” she cried, struggling under his grip. “It was Natalie Watson. She pushed me. She did this Read full story at.net
“I saw what really happened that night at the vineyard.” Eric’s voice was low and sharp. “You were the one who grabbed Natalie and pulled her down the stairs with you p>
Camila went still, her mouth open as if she couldn’t find the words to answer.
Eric kept going, his voice harsh. “You thought no one saw you, so you could pretend
it was all Natalie’s fault. But I was there. I saw everything p>
She hadn’t even invited him to the White Group’s gala. She never expected he’d sneak in and catch her in the act.
“That’s not how it was Camila shook her head, reaching for any excuse.
“From the moment you found out you were pregnant, you started plotting. You wanted to use the baby to get into the Ramirez family, then turn around and use the baby to set up Natalie. You never wanted this child at all, did you?” Eric cut her off, his eyes bloodshot and full of pain.
She had no idea how much he wanted that child. He remembered the doctor telling him his chances of becoming a father were almost zero. When Camila told him she was pregnant, he could barely believe it.
He had dreamed about the baby’s future, dreamed about starting a new life with Camila somewhere far from Cabinda. He even bought a house overseas, just for them.
And yet, on the night of the White Group’s gala, even though he didn’t have an invitation, he showed up anyway, using an old classmate’s name to get in. From a distance, he’d seen Camila and Natalie by the fountain. He couldn’t hear their conversation, but he saw Camila suddenly yank Natalie’s arm, and then both of them fell down the stairs. Maybe from another angle, it could have looked like an accident, but from where Eric stood, it was obvious. Camila set it all up.
Now, with everything out in the open, Camila stopped pretending.
“Eric, listen to me,” she pleaded, lifting her hands to cradle his face, her eyes already shining with tears “I didn’t have a choice. The baby was getting bigger every day Oncest was bomt Ramirez family would have
figured out something was off. If they did a paternity test, we would have been done for p>
Her voice trembled, desperate. “This baby could never be born. I didn’t want you getting dragged into this. I was more afraid for you than anything else. If the baby couldn’t stay, at least something good could come out of it. Isn’t that better p>
Eric just stared at her, stunned by how she could make killing her own child sound almost noble.
“Enough.” He tore her hands away from his face, voice shaking with anger. “You’re unbelievable. I’ll never believe a word you say p>
