His Lethal Love by Monika Singh (book series for 12 year olds .TXT) 📖

“Cam…” he sighed and approached me. “I’ll be back in a couple of days. Maura just passed out in the middle of shooting. Her manager checked her in the hospital and my presence there is significant. Do you trust me?” His voice was hoarse as he looked into my blurry eyes. I nodded. “I love you and I always will… trust me, Cam. If you could be in my place, you will come to know how challenging it is for me to leave you.” I kept quiet. “My staff will take you back home.” 

Giving me the last kiss on my temple, he said goodbye and left.

Hello. This is Scott. I am not available at this moment. Please leave a message and I will call you as soon as I find it.

Scott’s call was forwarded to voicemail. It had been two weeks, but I did not hear from him. He said he would be back in a couple of days. I sighed in disappointment and slumped on the couch. Why did he lie to me? He knew that it would take him longer than a few days, but still, he lied to me. I trusted him. Why did I trust him? 

Conan kept calling me for a few days, but I didn’t receive any of his calls. I wondered what he must have been thinking about him. I liked Conan, but I didn’t look needy to him. I just didn’t want him to think I was using him. Of course, he was my friend, but he didn’t look at me this way. He wanted to be more than just a friend. And I didn’t like that. I knew I couldn’t love anyone but Scott. 

Suddenly, my phone rang, pulling me out of my thoughts. It was Conan. Sighing, I swiped on the screen and picked up. 

“Hey…” I said with a hint of hesitation. “What’s up?” 

“Cam, have you seen the news?” Conan asked with a serious tone. “Your and Scott’s intimate pictures are viral across the country.” 

“What?” I exclaimed and searched for us on the internet. The very first pictures of us. My jaw dropped when I saw Scott’s naked pictures. The color drained from my face when I saw the next picture of us. I was on top of Scott, and my naked back was shown to the public. I was naked as well. 

“Cami…” Conan whispered. His voice was filled with dissatisfaction. “Are you alright?” 

I stayed silent because I was too shocked to say anything. I just couldn’t find the words to describe those dirty images. I remembered I sent Maura a few snapshots of us, but they were not included in these photographs. I did not know who took these pictures. 

“Camille!” Conan called out. “Speak out, dammit!” 

“I don’t… know…” my voice cracked.

“Okay, I’m on my way to your house. Don’t pick any fucking calls. Scott’s and Maura’s fans will threaten you.” He warned. “Just don’t pick any calls. Understood?” 

“Yeah…” I swallowed hard, gazing at my naked photos. 

I scrolled down the screen and read the comments. 

‘Ugly bitch!’ 

“Nerd.” 

‘Dirty slut!’ 

‘Who the hell is she?’

‘Did Scott cheat on his fiancee?’ 

‘Bloody whore!’

‘Such crap!’ 

“What a geek she is!” 

I kept scrolling down and read everything that Scott’s fans had written. They were mean and cruel. 

“Just leave it!” Conan snatched my phone from my hand and flew it across the room. I let out a sharp breath. My entire body was shaking with anxiety. 

“It…” my voice broke as I was unable to hold my tears back. “Who did this?” 

“I don’t know.” Conan stepped up to me. “I talked to my father. He will take care of it. He is working with his team to take down those pictures and videos from the internet.”
