My Two Billionaire Husbands: A Plan for Revenge-Chapter 41: Morning Surprise

"Because she’s Duncan Veston’s wife! That’s why..." Greg replied casually.

"Oh for fuck’s sake, don’t tell me you are going to use her to get your revenge on Annie and Duncan? She’s a victim too!" Harry exclaimed, clearly frustrated.

"I don’t know... Maybe I will or maybe I will not," Greg muttered before finishing his drink.

"Don’t do it... I’m warning you! She’s a close friend of Ethan’s, they say they’re best friends."

"Are they really? You heard him—they were close in college but haven’t seen each other for years since she got married. Does that still make them best friends?" Greg slurred as he poured himself another drink.

"I’m going to age ten years early because of you. Ethan went out of his way just to make you agree to let her stay, even though we both know you would have let her stay without him asking. Don’t you feel bad for her? The poor woman’s life is a mess right now, and you’re just piling more stress on her!"

"Hey, I’m not piling anything on her. I’m trying to help."

Harry scratched his head in frustration, unsure of what Greg really wanted. "So, after pissing her off, now you’re saying you want to help her? Why?"

"Because I want to... I think we’ll get along... Hehe... Hic!" Greg slurred.

"Really? So making her angry is your way of getting along with her?" Harry asked, clearly irritated.

"It’s just tonight. I’m still upset she stormed off like that from the resort. She’s not even sorry about it and standing on form ground that she did the right thing of leaving me. I am so tired of it Harry... People don’t see my value, they always leave me... But tomorrow, she’ll start liking me..." Greg muttered before resting his head on the table.

"She’s not going to like you after what you pulled tonight..." Harry said, shaking his head as he looked at his drunk friend.

"She will... We have a common goal, so she’ll have to work with me, and soon enough, she’ll like me..." Greg mumbled before passing out.

As soon as Cammy got into the taxi, she texted Ethan’s sister to let her know that Ethan was drunk and would need some help when he arrived with his co-workers. Still fuming over Greg, she turned off her phone completely and shoved it to the bottom of her bag.

’The nerve of him! What did I do in my past life to deserve this? I don’t know how I’m supposed to keep working there if I have to see him all the time and deal with his behavior. It’s just too much,’ she thought as she gazed out the window.

She arrived at her apartment quickly, only to find the ramen shop closed and Eve’s lights already off. "I guess it’s really late. I suppose I can’t be too mad at Ethan for bringing those two along. At least I got through the night without crying for missing Dylan."

Cammy went straight to the bathroom to wash up, but her mind and body still had the energy to dwell on Greg and what had happened between them in the restaurant’s powder room.

The way he held her so forcefully sent shivers up her spine. Though he pulled her roughly, nearly forcing her mouth against his, his kisses were gentle and full of passion.

His touch, the way he caressed her body, left her craving more. Even after just one night together, he knew her too well. He knew exactly where to touch to drive her mind and body into a whirlwind of sensation.

"Why am I even thinking about him?! Does he think I’m an easy target just because I’m a single mom? I’ll show him it’s the exact opposite!"

The emotional rollercoaster she’d been on all day, plus the margarita, made sure she fell asleep fast. As soon as her head hit the pillow, she was out like a baby. freёweɓnovel.com

Cammy was jolted awake by a loud banging on her door. She glanced at the digital clock on her bedside table—5:30 in the morning. "Who could possibly be knocking at this hour?!"

Grumbling, she stomped toward the door like a student dreading an early wake-up call.

"Special delivery! Move aside, quick—it’s hot!" Eve burst into the apartment as soon as Cammy opened the door, carrying two steaming bowls of freshly made ramen.

"Don’t just stand there—brew some coffee, girl!" Eve said, placing the bowls on the table.

Cammy yawned and sluggishly made her way to the kitchen counter to scoop some ground coffee into the coffee maker.

"Did I wake you?" Eve asked.

"You did. I was annoyed by the loud banging, but you brought some delicious-smelling bribe, so I can’t stay mad. I’m sure it tastes amazing," Cammy replied.

"Oh, sorry about that. I just thought you’d be up early since you left so early yesterday."

"Yeah, but that was only because I had to drop Dylan off at his dorm and it was my first day at work," Cammy explained while getting the cups ready for the coffee.

"How was it, sending Dylan to boarding school? Isn’t he a bit too young for that? Not that I’m judging—I’m just curious about how it feels."

"Well, I agree, he is a bit young. But he seems to like it. He’s very mature for his age and enjoys the busy atmosphere. Besides, I thought it would be better, especially since I’m about to start the divorce process with his father. His life there would be more stable and away from the mess."

"You’re still married? Is that why Ric hasn’t made a move yet?"

"Hmm, how do I even answer that? It’s complicated. Don’t you watch the news?" Cammy asked, wondering if Eve recognized her and was just pretending not to.

"I don’t like watching the news. If I’m going to watch something, it’s going to be a TV drama. Why do you ask?"

"Well, since it’s still early, let me reintroduce myself," Cammy said, deciding to reveal her true identity to Eve. She figured Eve and her landlords should know the truth, so they could help her keep a low profile for as long as possible.

Eve listened intently as Cammy shared her life story while they ate. She could hardly believe something like that could happen in real life.

"Oh my gosh! Who needs TV dramas when your life is more thrilling than any of them? Don’t worry, we’ve got your back. I’ll let our landlord know later when I’m on shift."

"Thank you, Eve. But I’ll talk to them myself when I get a chance this week, maybe over the weekend. And thanks for the delicious breakfast."

"Thank you for keeping me company! My daughter is still with my parents since her school doesn’t start until next week, so I get lonely eating alone... Anyway, I’ll let you get ready for work. See you later!" Eve said as she headed out the door.

Cammy quickly got ready, deciding to leave for work early to avoid the rush hour and the risk of being recognized. ’It’s better this way. If I keep busy, I won’t miss Dylan as much,’ she thought.

She took one last look at her apartment before heading out. ’There’s so much I need to buy to make this place feel like home, so Dylan will be comfortable when he stays here,’ she reminded herself.

As she descended the stairs, she texted Ethan to see if he made it home okay. But when she reached the ground floor, she had never expected to encounter such a surprise first thing in the morning.

"Good morning, Ms. Watson. I’m glad I got here early, or I would have missed you."

Cammy stared at the man beside a black car, who was handing her a large bouquet of white roses.
