Reborn as my enemy's contract wife
Chapter 3
Donatello tilted his head and smirked.
“ I wouldn't touch you even if I was paid to do so”.
Camilia fumed “Do you think this is a joke huh...you monster!!” she yelled gripping the collar of his shirt.
Donatello stood up instantly, he loosened Camilia’s grip and threw her to the ground.
“I see you’ve lost your train of thoughts. How is it my fault that you choose to drink yourself to stupor last night? I only pushed you, you are lucky I didn’t kill you”
Camilia winced, “Is he trying to say he doesn’t know I’m Camilia.” ‘No, I don’t trust this devil’ she thought to herself.
She got up and charged towards Donatello but came to a halt at the sound of the document hitting a side table by the couch.
“Sign it” Donatello said, his hands in his pocket.
Camilia glanced at the document then back at him with a glare.
“What sly game are you playing?” she said.
“Don’t you understand plain English?? Do I have to speak in Spanish… uhh senora?” Donatello whispered.
Camilia picked up the document, flipping through the pages she gagged.
“What is this?” she asked raising the folder above her head.
“Exactly what you think it is” Donatello said smiling.
But Camilia could see something else…disgust and danger all wrapped up in his ocean blue eyes. His raven black hair was well groomed to perfection just above those eyes. His well pointed nose and rosey lips stood out the most . He had the build of a warrior, the face of a god and the height of celebrity model, his intellect too was extremely sharp like that of Einstein.
No wonder he caught the attention of people everywhere he went, especially the attention of women and ladies, ‘But…’ she thought to herself, ‘…of what use is all these features if they were owned by a monster.’
Well guess is not entirely wasted, even the devil is said to be the most beautiful right?
“I am not marrying you.” She spat.
“Feisty… I see” Donatello replied, “If I recall correctly, you have been the one chasing after me all these years using the excuse that we are betrothed to make people know you have a sort of claim to me?... Hmmm. I am only doing this because of my parents.” He said.
Donatello stepped forward and stood in front of Camilia.
“Whats’s wrong Katherine? Don’t tell me you have changed your mind.” He frowned.
“No one is capable of loving someone like you, you are despicable.” Camilia said through gritted teeth.
“True true, I agree” Donatello said heading towards the open window, “…but I don’t need people to love me, I need people to fear me and bow at the mere mention of my name.”
Leaning on the wall, he turned and faced Camilia.
“After a year of our marriage we will get a divorce, you will get 25% of my wealth and leave my life for good. I never want to see your face ever again.”
“Rest assured, you won’t have to wait a year of marriage for that. You won’t see my face again cause I’m leaving now” she said tossing the contract on the table.
“I am not signing anything.”
Camilia wondered how Katherine had lived with a ruthless being like him. He did not even like Katherine.
“Are you trying to paint me as the villain here, make me lose face in front of my parents? Well… that’s not possible, you will sign it.”
Camilia was about to leave his room when Donatello called in two of his men.
“Raphael, Leo…”
Two hefty men entered the room and chorused “Yes Boss”
“Take her to her room and lock her up. Maybe that would knock some senses back into her.”
The two men bowed and held Katherine’s arms. Camilia kicked,fought and scratched but it was all to no avail as she was no match for the them.
“You monster… I hate you and I will never marry you.” She yelled as she was being dragged out of his room.
Donatello stared at the window laughing.
“We will see about that.” he said.
A ringing sound caught his attention and pulled him out of his thoughts. He picked up the call, bringing his phone close to his ear.
“WHAT?!?!?!” he yelled. His phone came crashing to the ground.
His breath caught , he gasped.
Donatello could not believe what he had just heard.
“This can’t happen to me; I won’t let it” Camilia declared pacing round the room.
She had spent days locked up in a cell by Anthony, she was not going to let that happen again.
“How dear you??Open this door!!!” she yelled, banging on the door, her tone intense.
“Please… I am not Katherine, you have the wrong person” she voiced.
Seeing they were not going to open the door, Camilia dragged her feet to the end of the bed. She sat on the soft fluffy rug, leaning her back on the bed stand. Her lips quivered, she bowed her head, wrapping her arms around her now slender body. Her long coffee brown hair covered her face and legs.
Camilia bit her bottom lips, sobbing as tears rolled down her slightly red cheeks. Katherine’s dove like eyes and healthy glamorous skin commanded attention wherever she went. Unfortunately, she ended up with a man who did not even care about her.
“What will I do?” Camilia murmured. “I can’t go back to Anthony and Rosita because they won’t believe me. They will think it’s just another plan by Donatello to bring them down unless I have proof.”
Camilia raised her head and wiped her tears with her palms. “Yes, proof, I have to get them proof that shows that I am Camilia , only then will they truly believe me.”
“Donatello definitely has a hand in this for all I know he has a hand in my framing.” Camilia frowned as she narrowed her eyes
“If marriage is what he wants, that’s what he’ll get” Camilia mouthed as she got up to her feet
“I’ll play the role of dear ol’Katherine and make sure I pull him down” Camilia fumed.
She walked to the door and knocked on it quietly “ I am ready to sign the contract, I will do anything he wants, just get me out of here”
Immediately a click sound was heard and the door knob turned. The door flung open, Camilia stepped backwards and in front of her stood Leo. Hid face calm and calculative. He bowed his head and stepped to the side.
Camilia scoffed and made her way to Donatello’s room.
Rapheal stood at the side of the door, his hands crossed and in them was a document.
“You can’t go in” Raphael said as Camilia was about to pull the door handle.
“Why??? I am here to sign the contract he so badly wants.” Camilia responded.
Raphael handed Camilia the marriage contract and a pen, “He ordered that no one be let in Miss”
Camilia clenched her fist, she snatched the contract and signed it, ‘K,’ after signing she gave it back to him.
Just as she was about to leave, she heard a loud crash, and a shattering sound from Donatello’s room.
“I hope that was the sound of him dying” she said smiling as she hummed away.
Pieces of broken glass was scattered on the ground. Sand and flowers from the ceramic flower pots littered everywhere, spilled wine and shattered bottles filled the whole space.
Donatello sat at a corner in the room, his legs were straight and pointed forward.
He turned his head to stare at a picture in his left hand. He swallowed hard, his chest tightened,breath quickened and his lips trembled. Donatello picked up a piece of glass from the floor with his right hand, he tightened the hand to form a fist.
He winced as the glass cut deep into his palm. Blood flowed from his hands to the floor.
“You will pay for this” Donatello said, his voice almost inaudible “I will strip you of everything you have until you are left with nothing. I will make you miserable and you will crawl to me begging for mercy.”
