Revenge Love and Passion

"Marry? Who do you want to marry?"

The words slid quickly from Camilla's lips, echoing in the spacious and luxurious living room. Her sharp gray eyes widened, her curly brown hair a little messy as she had just finished working in the family office. The woman looked shocked, her body tense, as if her once stable world was beginning to crack.

"That's right, Camilla. Father is no longer young. Your mother passed away three years ago, and you will eventually get married and leave this house. I don't want to be lonely forever." Harris Bennet spoke calmly, but his eyes showed a deep fatigue, "you allow it, right?" This time, his question was like pleading with his only daughter to allow him to remarry.

Camilla was silent. She understood that as a man who had lost his wife and lived in solitude for many years, her father must have longed for companionship. But still, this news seemed too sudden.

Harris Bennet is a fifty-year-old man who has been living as a widower since his wife died three years ago. Born into a prominent and wealthy family in the United States, Harris inherited not only wealth but also the business acumen that runs in the Bennet family's blood. He is known as one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the entertainment industry, and the owner of the Bennet Agency, a renowned agency that houses many talented artists. Under her charismatic and authoritative leadership, the agency thrived and brought many names to the top.

Camilla Bennet is the only daughter of Harris Bennet, a twenty-five-year-old young woman who has just finished her higher education. As the sole heir of the Bennet family, her future was already impeccably and hopelessly organized. All of the family's assets and properties, including the famous Bennet Agency, would one day be in her hands. Even now, Camilla has started to get directly involved in managing the company alongside her father, showing an intelligence and dedication that leaves many in awe.

Despite being born into a conglomerate family and growing up in luxury, Camilla is known to be humble, friendly, and sociable. Her business acumen and communication skills have endeared her to many, both in professional and social settings. She can blend charm and integrity in her every move.

With her perfection, what woman wouldn't envy being in Camilla Bennet's shoes?

On the other hand, Camilla also has plans to marry her boyfriend. Although she is happy, she does not turn a blind eye to her father's anxiety. Harris, who has been living alone with his only daughter, begins to feel the emptiness that slowly haunts the fear of abandonment and loneliness that secretly disturbs his heart.

The beautiful woman did not want to be selfish by forbidding her father to get married. Moreover, her father was devastated when his late wife passed away. And now, Camila will let her father find happiness with the woman he loves. Without having to continue to cry over his late wife who has passed away.

"Okay, Dad. I will allow it. But ... I want to know who that woman is before I give my blessing."

Her father walked up to her and hugged her. Then he said, "You know her."

From her father's statement, it made Camilla even more curious.

Did she know her? Who was the woman her father had chosen?

That night, the Bennet family dining room was transformed into a warm little party room. Camilla wore a simple white dress with her curly hair tied half up, a few strands of hair left loose around her face. She looked like a young royal. But her heart still felt uncomfortable. She don't know why!

Just before going downstairs to the living room, she spoke to herself as if she were communicating with her mother in the mirror. "Mom ... I hope the woman he chooses lives up to my expectations."

Camilla's graceful steps descended the stairs one by one. Bringing her to meet her father's future wife.

"Camilla ...."

The voice was familiar. A familiar female voice sounded in her ears.

That's right, she was Jenny. An old friend of her late mother. And next to her was her daughter-Diana, her childhood friend who disappeared without news.

Jenny's embrace made Camilla's body stiffen.

"Long time no see, Sweety."

Long time no see? Camilla repeated to herself. Tension began to creep into her breathing.

"Hold on ... So, the future wife you're referring to is Jenny?" asked Camilla, not hiding her surprised face at all.

Her father smiled and nodded his head.

"I think we'd better sit down first," Harris said, as it didn't feel right to talk while standing.

Then, they sat down on the dining chairs that had been prepared. Harris even invited Jenny to sit in the chair he had pulled out for his future wife.

They then sat down at the dining table that had been neatly set up. With a thoughtful gesture, Harris pulls out a chair and invites Jenny to sit down. It was a warm gesture that reflected his respect and love for his future wife.

Yeah, Harris Bennet was known to be a romantic man when his late wife was alive.

However, this time with his late wife's old friend? Camilla still doesn't understand at all.

"How did this relationship come about?" asked Camilla in a slightly cold tone.

Jenny's eyes looked at Harris shyly. Camilla watched the two of them gaze lovingly. Perhaps, this was the best thing for her father?

"So, I was on assignment in Paris and accidentally met Jenny. We've been close ever since," her father explained.

Then, Camilla's eyes glanced over to Diana who was looking at Jenny and Harris with a big smile.

"If you allow me to be your father's wife and mother to you, of course, I would be very happy. Although I can't take the place of your late mother ...."

"What do you think, Camilla?" This time, the father asked for his daughter's opinion. Whether she approved of their relationship or not.

On the one hand, she was a little unhappy that the woman her father had chosen was her mother's old friend. Why of all women, did it have to be her mother's old friend?

"Forgive me, I'm late ...." A man's voice made the four people immediately turn their gaze towards the man who had just arrived.

"Ah, Kevin. Here!" Happily, Camilla patted the seat beside her for her lover to sit beside her.

Then, Kevin sat down beside Camilla. Kevin and Diana looked at each other for a few seconds.

"Kevin, let me introduce you to Jenny and Diana ... Oh yeah, they are also from Paris," Camilla said as she grasped Kevin's hand tightly.

To show that Kevin was hers.

"Didn't you used to live in Paris too, Kevin?" asked Harris, suddenly remembering that Kevin had lived in Paris since childhood. But when he went to college he left for the United States.

"Yes, Sir." Kevin smiled slightly and his eyes occasionally fell on Diana. Like there was something between the two of them.
