Cami sat on the flight back to Cordonia. She felt their fight was an overreaction. At least on her part. She didn’t mean the terrible things she said. Liam had never completely opened up to her about his relationship with Maria. None of that mattered now. She needed to see Liam. They needed to move past the obstacles they purposely placed on themselves. Drake had helped her see that Liam, things he had done were inexcusable, but he does love her. And she loves him. 

Maxwell greeted her at the airport, he and Drake had prepared her a room in Ramsford for her own comfort if necessary. She headed straight towards the capitol, to the palace. She needed to see Liam. She had avoided his calls for weeks unsure what to say. The closer she came to him, the more she had to say. She wanted to offer an explanation. She needed to tell him. 

Cami walked through the palace like she had been there forever. The guards and the service personnel looked at her with wide eyes. Cami noticed some of the guardsmen whispering into their ear pieces as she walked by them. As she made her way to the east wind of the palace, she overheard loud muffled voices coming from the top of the stairwell. Liam’s quarters. Cami froze in her tracks as she continued to try and make out the voices. “Parakaló” A feminine voice cried. “Lypámai, Maria. Bastien, get her out of here now.” Cami immediately recognized Liam’s voice. It wasn’t smooth and baritone as usual, it was high-pitched and full of regret. Cami continued to hide as Bastien brought the half dressed Princess down the stairwell. Maria instantly spotted Cami attempting to hide behind a large vase as Bastien dragged her by her arm down the stairwell. “This is your fault.” Maria pointed and screamed. Cami’s eyes were wide and immediately filled with tears. She knew Liam had been with her. 

Liam rushed to the top of the stairwell to see Cami standing there watching as Bastien dragged the Princess away. “Cami” Liam yelled. Cami looked up, her cheeks were already tear stained from the realization of what Liam had done. He was only in his grey sweatpants, no shirt, no shoes. His hair was a disheveled mess. Cami without a word turned and rushed down the stairs as fast her legs would carry her. Liam chased behind screaming her name. “Cami wait, let me explain.” She stopped and turned in the main foyer of the palace. “EXPLAIN WHAT LIAM? THIS WAS ALL A FUCKING MISTAKE.” Cami screamed in between hitched breaths. She felt she was having a panic attack. Her breathing became rapid, her vision blurred. Everything went black. 

Cami woke up to voices around her. “Love, wake up.” Liam kissed Cami’s knuckles. Cami immediately remembered what happened and recoiled her hand. “Don’t touch me.” She grumbled. “Get away from me Liam,” Cami eased herself up from the sofa of Liam’s quarters. “Excuse us Bastien.” “Sir.” Bastien nodded and walked out of the room. Bastien slipped his phone out of his pocket and dialed Drake. “Drake, she’s here. The Princess was still here when she got here.” “What the fuck was she still doing there?” Drake grumbled into his phone. “I knew she should have stayed at Ramsford. I’m on my way.” “She’s in His Majesty’s quarters now. She passed out.” “Fuck. This won’t end well.” 

“Camilla, it’s not what you think?” Liam spoke once Bastien had left them. “Isn’t that how all great lies start out Liam, it’s not what you think?” She air quoted. “Will you listen?” “What is there to even listen to? You obviously can’t stay away from her and why should you?” “Cami. Please.” “No, you’ve wasted enough of my time.” “Lypámai..Se agapó.” Liam whispered. “What does that even mean, I don’t speak fucking Greek Liam.” “It means I’m sorry and I love you.” Cami started laughing hysterically. It was either, laugh hysterically or cry uncontrollably. “You love me, that’s rich. Great explanation why you had someone else in your bed. Did you sleep with her?” “I did not sleep with her.” Cami felt the anger boiling inside her. “Liar.” She mumbled. Liam had enough. “Last I checked Camilla, you're the one that broke up with ME. You kicked ME out.” Cami whipped her head around to look Liam in his eyes. “The last words you spoke to me, was I was fucking crazy. You couldn’t wait to hop into bed with the woman that you claimed destroyed you.” Cami’s words cut Liam like a knife. His palms balled into fists and he dug crescent shaped slivers into his palms with his fingernails as Cami continued her tongue lashing. “Just couldn’t fucking wait could you? When we met in the Maldives this isn’t who I thought you were.” “YOU LEFT ME. YOU LEFT ME AGAIN. What the fuck did you expect to happen Camilla? YOU destroyed me. Not Maria. YOU.” Liam’s voice boomed as he pointed his finger at her. Both of them stood in front of the other. “She was nothing to me. YOU are everything. Why can’t you fucking see that?” “THIS once again. THIS IS WHAT IT TOOK FOR YOU TO SEE THAT?” Cami screamed and tears continued down her face staining her t-shirt. “You’re blaming me?” Liam’s eyes went wide, his voice boomed. “YOU DID THIS TO US. You just can’t Skáse and listen can you?” Cami sat down with her head in her hands. “We were doomed from the beginning. And for some reason, I am the only one getting hurt.” She mumbled through her hands. Liam knelt to his knees and took Cami’s hands in his. “I’m so sorry. I love you so much. I missed you.” “Liam, you miss me more than you love me.” “One more chance, please Cami please.” “You couldn’t give me anything, but now you want everything from me?” Cami looked Liam in his deep eyes. “Cami I will give you everything. You already have everything of me.” “No I never did. It was all pretty words and kisses. Nothing was ever real. I am going home.” “No, please Cami.” Liam could feel the sting of tears in his eyes. “You have no idea.” Cami mumbled, making her way towards the door. “Enlighten me then.” He whispered through his tears. “We were over long before we ever started.” Cami twisted the door knob. “Cami, I’m not chasing you this time. If you leave I will never step foot in America again.” Liam snapped as she opened the door. He made one last ditch effort to change her mind. “I never wanted you to chase me from the start. You can have your precious kingdom and your precious fucking Princess Liam. I don’t fucking want any of it and that includes you. Your majesty.” Cami seethed as she made eye contact with Drake and Bastien. Cami walked out and headed back to the foyer. Liam let out an inhumane guttural scream, he picked up a large crystal vase full of flowers and threw it full force at the wall. He was still standing in his quarters. His knees buckled beneath him and tears and sobs overtook him. Drake ran in to comfort his best friend and try to make sense of it.

Drake instructed Bastien to take Cami to Ramsford while he would deal with Liam. He texted Maxwell to make sure she doesn’t leave. There was something pressing he needed to know if she had told Liam. Drake sat on the floor holding his friends as his sobs slowly stopped. Drake thought Liam and Maria’s break up was bad, he didn’t see this coming. Drake pulled Liam to the sofa and poured him a large tumbler of scotch. “What happened Li?” “Maria, Drake. Cam wouldn’t listen. It’s over. I think it’s really over this time.” “What did she tell you?” “That it was over. What else?” “Li.. I shouldn’t tell you this.. Hell I shouldn’t even know this… but when I called Cami to talk to her.. She answered in tears. She thought it was you calling but the more we talked the more she broke down. She loves you Liam. And.. she’s pregnant.” Liam looked up at Drake, his eyes bloodshot. “What did you say?” Liam was stunned by Drake’s information. “She never told me what she was doing here… we never got the chance. She was already here when Bastien got Maria out. Fuck, Drake what have I done?” “Take me to her. Where is she?” Liam questioned. He needed to get to her. He couldn’t let her walk out of his life. “She’s at Ramsford. Merry Fucking Christmas Man.” Drake looked down at his phone that vibrated in his hand. Maxwell: She’s gone Drake. She booked a flight before she got here. She packed her stuff and Bas took her to the airport.
