My Two Billionaire Husbands: A Plan for Revenge-Chapter 256: Glimpse of the Future

Ric stood in front of Cammy, her words still echoing in his chest like a slow, steady drumbeat.

’I trusted you.’ freeweɓnovel.cøm

His lips curled into a wide smile... One that took over his entire face, reaching his eyes and turning them to crescents of light.

Then, unexpectedly, Ric brought both hands up and covered his face, letting out a small, almost embarrassed laugh.

Cammy blinked in surprise and then burst out laughing.

"You’re blushing?" she teased, laughter bubbling in her throat as she stepped a little closer.

Ric peeked through his fingers like a shy boy, shaking his head. "I can’t help it," he said with a sheepish grin. "No one’s ever said something like that to me before. Not like that."

Cammy’s smile softened, her laughter fading into something tender. "Well, get used to it," she said gently. "You’re about to marry me, remember?"

He let out a breathy chuckle and lowered his hands slowly, meeting her gaze again. His cheeks were still tinged with pink.

"I was going to wait until we got back," Ric said, voice quieter now, more vulnerable. "But... is it okay if I hold your hand? Until we get to the villa?"

Cammy didn’t say a word. She simply held out her hand to him, palm open and steady.

Ric looked at her hand as if it was the most precious thing in the world—then slowly reached out and intertwined his fingers with hers.

They began walking again, hand in hand beneath the silver moonlight, the sea whispering beside them.

And for the first time in a long while, Cammy felt no weight on her shoulders.

Just warmth in her palm.

"Married couples can be friends too, right?" Cammy asks all of a sudden.

"Yes. My father and Felicity once said that if a couple can be friends or best friends even, then they will surely be together for a lifetime," Ric said.

Cammy smiled and looked up at the stars before turning to Ric. "Can we be friends then?" she uttered with a genuine smile.

Ric felt her sincerity and nodded. No words were said between them after that. There’s no need to. The friendship that they had before that was halted was now flourishing again, and only stars know how far it can go.

**********

The next morning, soft sunlight filtered in through the sheer curtains of Ric’s villa.

Cammy slowly stirred under the soft duvet, her eyes fluttering open. The scent of something warm and toasty teased her nose before her mind fully caught up.

She blinked—and found Ric standing at the side of the bed with a tray in his hands.

"Good morning," he said with a boyish grin. "Breakfast in bed for my fiancée."

Cammy sat up slowly, her eyes going wide when she saw what was on the tray—an egg sandwich packed with fresh lettuce, cucumber, and tomato. Beside it sat a tall glass of thick avocado smoothie, the rim dewed with cold, and a small bowl of sliced fruits glistening with freshness.

"Oh my god," Cammy breathed out. "Are you trying to make me fat?"

Ric chuckled as he carefully set the tray over her lap. "It’s good for the baby," he replied with a wink. "Besides, you didn’t eat much last night from all the excitement."

Cammy smiled, touched more deeply than she wanted to admit. Before she could even take a bite, her phone buzzed on the nightstand. She reached for it and opened the message. Her smile faltered slightly.

"It’s Greg’s driver," she said. "He’s outside my apartment. He brought my car back."

Ric paused, leaning against the bedpost. "You forgot?"

"Totally," Cammy sighed. She tapped quickly on her screen. "I told him I’ll need about four hours, so he can go home first and rest. I’ll text him again once we’re done here."

She started eating with more urgency, stuffing a bite of the sandwich into her mouth while taking a sip of the smoothie.

Ric raised an eyebrow, gently touching her wrist. "Hey, slow down. He can wait. Or you could just tell him you don’t need him at all."

"No, it’s fine," she said, shaking her head. "I’ll go to the OB-GYN while I’m in the city too. And I need to pick up the dress Eve recommended. Might as well get everything done."

Ric nodded, his gaze steady. "Then I’ll drive you. I need to meet with the head chef today anyway—he’s leading the catering team for the wedding."

Cammy glanced at him, surprised. "You’d really come with me?"

He shrugged as if it were the most obvious thing. "Of course. It’s not a chore. I want to."

She gave him a grateful smile, her heart warming.

After Cammy finished her breakfast, she got up, changed into something light and comfortable, and met Ric by the door.

Together, they gathered their things and headed to Ellie’s house to pick up Dylan to leave him in the villa with his nanny for his online lesson today, before driving into the city.

But as they approached the white fence adorned with blooming hibiscus, Ellie was already waiting at the gate, her arms crossed and an all-knowing smile tugging at her lips.

"Well, well," Ellie teased as they came closer. "I had a feeling you two are going somewhere just from the clothes that you are wearing."

"We need to go back to the city and run some errands. Dylan has an online lesson today. His nanny already knows what to do. We will just leave them in the villa," Cammy explained

"Ahh, no need to fuss—leave Dylan here with us. You go do your thing. Perhaps bring some donuts later?" Ellie grinned.

Cammy blinked in surprise. "Are you sure?"

Ellie nodded, her tone softening. "Absolutely. The girls are over the moon having him around, and his nanny’s here anyway. He’s perfectly fine. Go—handle your errands, enjoy the drive, and maybe take a little time for yourselves."

Ric chuckled while Cammy hesitated for a second, scanning Ellie’s face for any hint of inconvenience—but all she found was genuine warmth and encouragement.

Their eyes met briefly, and Ric gave her a small, reassuring nod.

And just like that, they set off together—driving toward the city, with the growing reality that this wasn’t just a temporary arrangement anymore.

This is a glimpse of their future life together.
