His voice quivered with emotion.

It had never crossed Camila's mind that she would be so easily recognized.

She felt helpless and completely powerless.

“Let go of me.”

"No," Jaylen said as he shook his head.

He refused to release his tight embrace.

Camila felt discomfort all over.

“You're squeezing my belly."

Only then did Jaylen realize that she was pregnant.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. Who's the father?" He stared at her protruding belly.

Glancing at her watch, Camila replied, "I don't have time to discuss this here. I have work to attend to."

"Shall we meet tonight?" Jaylen asked.

Camila wanted to decline, but considering the current situation, she couldn't risk Jaylen divulging their meeting to others.

Suddenly, a thought struck her.

“Fine, we can meet tonight, but you must promise not to reveal my existence."

"I understand. Your secret is safe with me," Jaylen assured her, comprehending her concerns.

Camila didn't want anyone else to know she was still alive.

“Thank you," she expressed her gratitude.

“No need for thanks," Jaylen replied with a smile, his eyes gleaming.

“I'm utterly amazed. I can't believe I didn't recognize you."

He was genuinely elated that Camila was alive.

It was a remarkable revelation for him.

“I must leave now," Camila interrupted.

Jaylen watched her receding figure.

When Camila finished her work and headed towards the exit, she spotted Jaylen standing by the door.
