Chase had been making Camila's life a living hell these days . One day , while the guards were distracted , Camila snuck out and threw herself into his arms the second she saw him . She grabbed his hand and pressed it against her stomach , crying and laughing at the same time . " Chase , look - he kicked ! Our baby , he really - he's moving ... " She was desperately hoping he'd show some mercy - for the sake of their child , for the past they once shared . But Chase turned his head in disgust and spat out one cold word . " Get out . " Camila snapped . " You don't even want your own child ?! What is it about Nora that makes you treat her like this ?! What does she have that I don't ?! " The next second , Chase's hand was locked tight around her throat . " She's a thousand times better than you will ever be , Camila . And you'll never understand why . " " This baby is not staying . " He sneered . " You think someone like you deserve to carry my child ? " Camila went cold all over , like she'd fallen into an icy lake . But Chase's face didn't soften one bit . He turned to the bodyguards and ordered flatly , " Take her . I don't care how - just get rid of it . " Camila kicked and screamed , but was still dragged away . Chase watched it all , not a flicker of emotion in his eyes - only the cold satisfaction of revenge . To him , it was all Camila's fault .
