Chapter 26
I witnessed something that I couldn't believe that it's happening, I can see how the guest applause for Ransom announcement to my child and he really did introduce my child?
Did he really introduce Yumi as a billionaire child?
I felt my stomach swirl and butterflies in my stomach. I can hear the guest cheering for Ransom and yelling baby Yumi's name.
This isn't a dream right? I hope I'm not dreaming.
Later on my name was called by Ransom father, I was surprised again that I saw a photographer in front and them waiting for me to join them.
I'm standing next to Ransom him carrying Yumi and his parents behind us.
"Smile Camilla..." I heard Ransom voice.
I glance at him, checking if I was right and yet he wasn't paying attention to me. I ignore it when I saw him smiling.
"One...two..." the photographer count and the camera shutter, the flash lit up and I smiled at the camera.
We take a lot of pictures together and including baby Yumi. I was happy for taking family pictures with them. Every guest smiling, congratulating us and thrilled while us taking a picture.
"You're so lucky Camilla."
"Baby Yumi is so cute."
"They look so perfect together."
"Omy what a happy family."
I felt like I can read the words in their lips.
I couldn't get it out of my mind....
I'm really happy and I look down when I saw Ransom father staring at me.
"Camilla...hold Yumi for a bit." my father in law voice filled with authority.
I quickly do as they say and take Yumi at Ransom. He looked at me first before letting go baby Yumi in his care.
Ransom go to his father and they talk. I felt a hand touch my shoulder." Are you okay Camilla?" a soft voice questioned me.
It was Ransom mother.
I nodded while looking at Ransom and his father. "I'm okay, Mom." I replied with calm.
"Is that so? In that case are you enjoying the party?" she added with a smile in her face.
It was like she was really checking on me.
I nodded again and smiled slightly. "I do, Mom it's great." I answered.
"That's good then..." Ransom mother stated. Her face came back from being blank.
What does that mean? is she angry?
I look at baby Yumi and slightly poke her nose. "Aren't you a cute little baby? aren't you Yumi? Daddy is handsome right?" I said.
Yumi giggled.
I stopped when in the corner of my eyes, I saw Ransom and his father was called by a group of men drinking.
"Who are they?" I asked.
"They're my husband business partner." Ransom mom casually answered.
I nodded in agreeing with her, My mother in law leave us and go to her friends. I saw Ransom already drinking with his father business partner and me was left standing while holding Yumi.
It feels like nothing happened at all....
Ransom and his father already busy with their own even his mom. I realize that our presence is just there after the family picture.... I tried to wait for Ransom yet he didn't bother looking to our way for a moment.
After some time passed, I stayed in the room waiting for Ransom to come, it's almost 3 am and he still isn't there.
Yumi is sound asleep in her crib and I still can't sleep thinking because Ransom is still not there. Their conversation with his father's business partners must have been very good...
But even so, it should not have been too much.
I'm worried.
Where is he? I looked at my cellphone to check the time and it was 2:56 am in the morning but he still wasn't there.
I was fine when I suddenly heard the click of our bedroom door I immediately stood up to open it when it suddenly opened.
I was surprised when Ransom almost lost his balance but he managed to hold on to the door. "Ransom...." I softly called his name.
He slowly looked at me and my heart beat faster when he looked at me as if he didn't want to see me. I tried to hold his arm to support him but he suddenly slapped it hard.
"What are you doing?! don't touch me!" he shouted loudly which startled me.
"I'm just trying to help you." I remained calm and let it remain in my mind that Ransom was just drunk.
He glared at me and it felt like a dagger slowly killing me. He pushed me hard and I almost fell to the floor with his strength.
I ignored it and tried to help him again when I saw him almost stumble.
He forced me to push me away from him again, but it was weak as I noticed that he couldn't stand up anymore.
but when he saw that I was still standing and trying to help him..
He looked directly in my eye and I can say that he's really mad . "Well I don't need your help!" his voice roared in the room that I heard Yumi start crying.
He slowly walked towards me while his eyes were wide and while looking at me with a wrinkled forehead.
My eyes saw his slow smile, I was surprised when he suddenly pointed at my forehead with his index finger and laughed softly.
"Hahaha Camilla, I don't need a help from someone like you." He insulted me even though he stopped me.
"Why would someone like you, who has nothing help me?" Ransom added.
My heart ached as I looked into his eyes and tried to make sure he knew what he was saying.
But there is no trace of regret.
" You are nothing! you have nothing without me Camilla!! " he said loudly.
My chest stings while looking at Ransom. Camilla... don't cry.
you can do it, just understand him.
He's drunk.
"You're useless and hah! I hate that smile of yours."
"Do you think those things, these things we had are all real? Those family pictures? This party? Hah!" Ransom yelled and smiled at me while pointing at the door.
I close my eyes and keep hearing Yumi's cry.
"All of this is not real, things that we had is just a Show! for my family's reputation!" he added to me with a smug face and I gave him 5 seconds to take it back.
But he was serious.
I no longer felt the tears fall from my eyes one by one while looking at him, I tried not to look away and remained firm.
Ransom was just drunk... He was just drunk.
"You're just for a show Camilla! You're nothing without me and my family!" he added and kept poking my head with his fore finger.
I inhale and exhale before wiping the tears in my eyes.
I removed his finger that was pointing at my forehead, I noticed that his eyes were closed and I was surprised when he fell on the floor.
I moved quickly and helped him stand up.
I slowly walked Ransom to our room and laid him on the bed. I saw that his eyes were closed and when I tried to remove the shoes he was wearing, I stopped when I heard from him.
