Camilla and Ceaser, her husband, were done preparing for the birthday tonight. The time was 5:00pm, and they were going for a two-hour journey.

The mansion butler was ready and stood just behind the car waiting for the husband and wife.

Camilla and Ceaser strode out of their big and mighty estate, their hands clung together as they walked.

Immediately they entered the Roy Royce car parked skillfully at the parking lots, and the butler ignited the engine. He was given the address they were heading to already.

“Honey, finally we will be going to see your families. I am so freaking happy.” Camilla said her eyes were lurking on the road as the car drove past them.

“It is going to be a memorable day.” Caesar pouted; the happiness in him knew no bounds that it could be sensed in his voice.

They had a lot of talk, and after one hour and thirty minutes of driving, they arrived at his mother's mansion. This was because of how experienced his butler was.

The mansion was very big and luxurious. It was indeed mighty that it could contain a lot of people.

The gateman of the mansion used a control remote to open the well-painted iron gate after he had verified it was Caesar.

Camilla was about to get down from the car, and just then her husband carefully grasped her arm. The car had not really come to rest, but she was already holding the car’s handle.

That was how eager and happy she was for a reason best known to her. The curiosity Camilla was showing was really what Ceaser couldn't understand.

"Hey, babe.. you have to stay in the car; remember, it is a surprise, right?” Caesar said and gave her a lovely wink.

“I can go in now, and they will be more surprised to see me, don't you think so?” She protested; she couldn't stay one minute longer in the car.

She felt like she was in a bondage already.

“You will have to come out only when you receive a text message from me. I promise it won't take time.” Caesar said he had a plan.

Camilla herself also had a plan. “Okay, that is fine. I will wait, but promise all this won't take long.” She said she was not really happy with what he suggested.

“I promise love.” He said and took her hands and kissed it. “I love you.” He said and pinched her nose. The smile on her face gave him the go ahead.

Just then he adjusted his suit and climbed down the car.

He wore a black Turkish suit with a trouse that matched it. His tie made him look younger than his age; he was tall and charming.

His wavy short hair gave him a god's look; one could easily classify him as a bastard billionaire.

Caesar walked into the building. The staff bowed their heads to him as he walked past them.

He was the eldest son of his mother, Mrs. Agnes, and all her staff knew him and respected him a lot.

It was a family dinner birthday, and no other people were invited except some of their family friends.

The building was booming with music, and the house was interiorly decorated. It was indeed a grand celebration.

“My son is here. You look so enticing.” Mrs. Agnes, Caesar's mother, gave him a right hug immediately he entered her room, where she was being dressed.

“Happy birthday, mom. I love you.” Caesar said as he squatted before his mother and kissed her hands.

"Thanks, son; I am sure you came here with a wife.” She said and gave him some looks, which he was used to.

The maid and some makeup artists in the room could help but smile at how the mother and son were conversing.

“I have a surprise for you, but the celebration had to start first.” Caesar said, and his mother's face lit in joy.

“Exactly! I hope it is something that I have prayed for.” Mrs. Agnes couldn't help but ask.

“It is not a fiance; it is something more important than that.” Caesar said, and immediately his mother's smiling face instantly turned pale.

“What do you mean, son? Nothing is more important to me than you having a fiance.” She said, giving him pleading eyes.

“Mom, you have to smile. It is your birthday. Get ready and come downstairs; we are all waiting for you.” Caesar said and kissed her forehead and headed out.

The birthday party had started. Mr. Agnes climbed down the stairs, and immediately there was a lot of “Happy birthday!” It was from her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and some important family friends.

The happy birthday ranting followed with a happy birthday song from them all. There was happiness in the air.

Just as they were done singing a happy birthday song. Everyone of them presented their gifts to her, and after that, the family gathered on the dining table to cut the cake and have a great dinner.

As Camilla had expected, Eric, Annie, her dad, and her brother were present in the ceremony.

Eric and his uncle had exchanged pleasantries. And also, since Annie had signed Ceaser, she had begun to feel something for him.

They were all now at the dining table; the chef had served a lot of intoxicating and high-flavoring food. The air conditioner in the dining room made the aroma of the food salivating.

“We pray that as we eat this food as a family, we will continue to live in peace and celebrate a longer life, Amen.” Axia, the first daughter of Mr. Agnes, prayed, and they all eoched Amen.

“Let's eat now, everyone; it is a happy day!

“No! Before we begin eating, my first son has to tell me the surprise he has for me.” Mr. Agnes said, and everyone diverted their attention to the head table.

Eric, who already knew his uncle was about to introduce his fiance, shouted. “We are going to be meeting a new family! Uncle has a fiance.” He said, and everyone was shocked as they all gazed at Caesar, who was sitting close to his mom.

The smile on his face was charming, and they were all happy already as they searched among them.

Annie felt a pang of jealousy as she heard her fiance shout “WIFE.”

She was already thinking of the impossible.

Just then, Caesar texted Camilla, who had been waiting anxiously to be inside the mansion.

The door flung open.

With poise and grace, Camilla glided into the building, her bright smile illuminating her heart-shaped face.

Her long, curly brown hair bounces with each step, complementing her confident stride.

She wears a fitted red dress, accentuating her slender figure, and her high heels click elegantly on the floor.

Just then, Eric, Annie, Cora, and her father were left stunned.

The surprise on the faces of the people she expected to see was something that made her calm.

Her chin was held high, and with grace and bold steps, Caesar made his way to her.

He held her in tow, leading her to the dining room, where he had reserved a seat for her.

He noticed the shock on their faces, but he had thought it was because he had finally brought a woman.

The tension in the room was palpable, and it was really awesome.

Mrs. Agnes was smiling; she was already in love with Camilla.

“This woman right here is my married wife and my forever.” Caesar paused for a while as he rolled his eyes at everyone on the big table.

He noticed and saw how quiet and curious they were. Their eyes showed they needed more information.

“Wife? You mean to say fiance?” Axia's sister said she was looking at Camilla in a way that showed that she really didn't like her.

“Exactly what I don't understand.” Eric gasped; he didn't even know when he spoke out.

“You all should allow him to introduce her to us properly before bombarding him with a lot of questions.” Mr. Agnes pouted, the smile on her lips visible.

“Thanks mom.” Caesar said he was observing the faces of everyone in the room.

He knew Anie to be his nephew's girlfriend, but he had no clue that Anthony Garrison was Camilla's father.

Anthony Garrison was also a billionaire in the country and had two famous companies.

This was the company that was left by Camilla's maternal grandfather and had tricked her to sign, and now it was in his name.

So for that fact, Caesar knew Anthony Garrison; he had done business with him, and they were somehow on good terms.

Anie was boiling; she couldn't understand what Camilla was doing there. She felt like strangling her to death as she watched her smile all through.

Cora, Camilla's brother, was also in great shock; they were all stunned. Her father was not excluded.

But what could they do?

“Okay, I will permit the love of my life to introduce herself to the family.” Caesar said and pecked Camilla on her cheeks, giving her a go-ahead smile.

“Alright, good evening, everyone present here.” Camilla said and rolled her eyes till her eyes locked with those of Eric. Only then did a cold chill run down her spine. Eric sat down there and gazed at her, lost in his freaking thoughts.

She was gorgeous and beautiful.

“I am Phoenix Gilbert, and I am sure that some of you have met me before. Okay, I am the wife of Caeser Anndragon, and we have been married for three months now. Nice to meet you all again, and happy blissful birthday, mom.” Camilla concluded.

The statement ‘I am sure that some of you have met me before’ was something that was not really clear to Caesar but he give no meaning to it.

“Thank you so much, daughter; you are welcome to the family. We are all happy to meet you.” The woman said, but she wanted to ask a lot of questions.

“We can do it now! We will discuss more after dinner.” Caesar announced.

Just then, there were noises of cutlery as everyone concentrated on the wonderful meal before them.

Eric was not eating, he couldn't take it, the fact that his Uncle was already married to his ex fiance. Not even engaged.

He was regretting all his actions right now.

Camilla's father and her step sister couldn't stop exchanging eye contact. They were surprised to see Camilla was an understatement.

Because they also were playing with their food. They knew the mess they were in and had to do something.

Knowing fully how powerful we'll build Caesar was. They have to act fast.

Now, dinner was over and now all the family members gathered to have a talk in the garden, that was how they did it.

Anthony Garrison, Cora Garrison and other family friends had left. The birthday celebration was over and now it was a family gathering in a garden that had light and fresh fruit served.

“You said you are married to Camilla already? How is that possible?” Mr Agnes asked his son.

“Mom, you have always wanted a wife for me. So when I met Camilla I immediately studied her and came to realize she was a good wife. So we agreed and wedded in the Court.” Caesar countered as he ran his finger down Camilla's hair who was blushing rapidly.

“Wow.. that Is okay. But why didn't you let us know. Your sisters too.” His mother asked.

“It was meant to be a surprise for you mom, and I did it this way because that is what she wanted.” Caesar cleared her.

“That is alright son, I love her for the first time I set my eyes on her and she is welcomed.” Mr Agnes said.

“Welcome to the family.” Yvanka, Ceaser second sister and last born of the house said and went for a hug.

Annie, was in chaos as she watched the man she is already falling in love with praise her step sister so much.

She couldn't understand while Camilla has changed her name to Phoenix and has settled for her fiance uncle.

Camilla has locked Annie's eyes almost five times since they were in the garden.

Annie was giving her eyes; it seemed as though she wanted to throw a dagger on her. But she returned it to her without giving a damn about it.

“I don't like her! No, I don't and can't accept her!” Axia spoke out, shaking her head vigorously.

"Exactly, I support that! She is not but a liar and gold digger!” Annie pouted.

“There is no way, you don't mean this. You got married to a slut?” Eric snapped, the frustration in his tone could be sensed.

Was he Jealous or what? He was the same person that humiliated her and cheated on her.

“What is going on here? What is freaking wrong with you all?” Caesar snarled; he couldn't understand the damn hatred.

“Slut?” You all just met her!” Caeser said his eyes were ticking in surprise.

“What is going on here!” Yvanka sneered at her nephew.

“Camilla is going on here! Eric snapped and pointed at Phoenix.

“Camilla? Who is Camilla?” Caesar asked bewildered.

“Camilla!” Grandma Agnes said in a whisper, the name was familiar.

“You must divorce her!” Eric barked.
