Cami POV:
Here I am on the floor with only a sheet to cover my naked body from the audience. My in-laws, husband Jonathan and his ex girlfriend standing before me looking at me with disgust and hate.
"Please don't do this to us!" I begged on my knees, my heart hurting and hoping that he would open up his heart and listen to me for a second.
"THERE IS NO US!" he shouted pushing me back from my kneeling position.
I hit the ground hurting my back and praying to God it's just my back and nothing else is wrong.
"I didn't do anything! I wouldn't do anything to hurt you!" I cried begging him.
"And why would I listen to you? Katie saw you kissing your ex, who you said you'll never meet again. My mom said she saw you going into a hotel with that same ex. And I just witnessed you two making out in OUR room under OUR roof!" He shouted again.
"I would never do that! I didn't even know he was at our house and when I got out of the shower I was surprised to see him in our room and he came onto me. I tried fighting him and called out help but no one came!" I cried even more clutching on the sheet recalling how I was assaulted and no one was there to help me.
"You liar, cheater and nasty woman! After all the things my son did for you because he loved you and this is how you repay him?" His mom, who never liked me, said looking down at me with disgust.
"I swear I didn't do it! Someone set me up!" I cried begging his mom.
*slap* she slapped me!
"Lani!" John, her husband shouted pulling her back while I held onto my face surprised.
"What she deserved it and so much more!" she yelled trying to break free of her husband.
"I never did anything and I love your son I would never do that to him!" I cried feeling my energy starting to drain.
"babe please listen to me! Someone set me up! It must be your mom or Katie they never liked me" I cried.
I felt another slap to my face and this time it was harder than the first one so it was not Lani but the man I love with all my hear. I don't know if I was shocked or anything but the tears stopped spilling and I just looked at him.
"Don't ever bring my mom and Katie into this. Mom was right I should've picked Katie over you but I was blinded by your fake love and kindness that I didn't see that true devil that you are!" Every word he said struck my heart like thousand daggers each time going deeper.
"Please I'm pregnant!" I shouted.
*Screech*

The screech of the brakes of the plane landing woke me up from another nightmare or more like memory.
I looked down at the little body snuggled into my lap and lightly stroked his jet black hair trying to wake him up.
"Wake up my love we're here" I said and kissed his silky hair.
"Mommy can we get food, I'm hungwy" He said and laid his head back into my chest.
"Aww I'm sorry you got hungry. We will go to the restaurant as soon as we get out of this plane okay?" I said feeling guilty I didn't feed him earlier and slept.
"Kaya can you please make a reservation at the nearest restaurant and order anything that does not have peanuts in it" I said to my personal assistant Kaya.
"Okay got it!" she said as she took out her iPad to make the reservation.
I picked up my son and walked out of the private jet and got into the car that was parked outside. I let my assistant and the guards take care of our luggages because they're paid to do it.
"Mommy can we call daddy? I miss him" my son said referring to his uncle, my brother. He's been calling him daddy ever since he saw his friend calling his dad and I'm so glad my brother lets him because I won't know what to say if he ever asks about his father.
I called Cody and gave the phone to my son (Kyler) so they can chat. I looked outside and tried to take in the surroundings I've left 4 years ago. You might think what I'm doing here and it's to attend my grandma's funeral even though she never liked me cuz I'm not that heartless.
Memories of this place keep coming up but I did my best to push them down and out of mind. I wonder what the would do if they know I'm back.
"Miss we've reached our destination, The Palace. It is one of the most expensive and exclusive restaurants in this city." my driver said as he parked in front of the 30 story building.
I unstrapped my son from his car seat and held his hand while he walked beside me into the building. The hostess came up to us and walked us to our table which was in the back out of sight as I always liked it. Thanks to my assistant she knows me best.
"Would you like something to start off as we wait for your orders, it's only 5 mins left till they bring it out." the hostess introduced herself and asked us.
"Can we get corn soup, and two apple juices" I said to the hostess and turned back to my son.
"Babe do you want to go use the bathroom before we get our food?" I asked.
"Pwease mama" he said smiling at me with his two missing front teeth.
"Okay hold on I'll put my phone and wallet away then we can go." I said as I put my wallet away I saw him getting out of his seat and pumped into a man walking by.
I jumped up and rushed to him.
"I'm so sorry he pumped into you." I said to the man without looking up at him just checking if my son was alright.
"Mommy I good!" he said dusting his pants and giving me a grin. Aww my heart melts at his smile and two missing front teeth.
"I sowwy misto. I was not looking and hit you" He said looking apologetic at the man standing behind me and I wanted to cry at how he behaved.
"Cami" the voice said behind me and I could recognize that voice from anywhere. I once looked up to this man and treated him like my own father. The blood rushed from my face and I felt cold and scared and I did something anyone would ever done.
