C9 I want to kill two birds with a stone.

"You are daring me Victoria" Do you want to marry Robe...

Yes! Yes Ernesto, I want to marry him. She muttered boldly through gritted teeth.

Ernesto rolled his brows as he leisurely moved backward glancing at her in shock.

He went to a frozen stillness in a blink of an eye as he tried to open his mouth to speak but nothing came out.

He felt broken and hurts, Ernesto thusly buried his face in his hands, if he knew a day would come where he'll be sharing his woman with no other than his brother, he wouldn't have separated Camila from Robert.

Ernesto felt a tap on his shoulder, he leisurely lifted his head and his gaze met with Victoria.

Did you ever love me? He sadly asked.

Victoria blinked up at him emotionally and hastily bent infront of him as she grabbed his wrists and stared at him silently before mastering courageously.

''l love you Ernesto, I've always loved you.

I'm not marrying your brother because i love him.

No!! I don't love Robert.

"Ernesto is you that I want" but as a result to punish Camilla, which is why i'm doing this.

I want to see her suffer and I know by marrying Robert and becoming her daughter's new mother, my aims of punishing Camilla will be fulfilled.

She will completely loose her daughter like she has already lost her life been in jail.

She lied and Ernesto stupidly bought her lies.

''I came over here to tell you of your Mother's decision for me to marry your brother because I need your support on this Ernesto.

I want to finish what I started and I will not rest till I achieve my goals.

Ernesto I know you love me, and I love you too. But don't also forget you and I want the same thing when it has to do with Camila.

Apart from separating Camila from Robert, we still want to revenge on what she did to us.

so please try to understand me. I'm only doing this to pay Camilla and nothing more.

Pleeease Ernesto! I really need to do this! To kill two birds, with just a stone so please do this for us.

She said as she deliberately kissed him and he rapidly reciprocated as he moaned into her mouth.

They unlocked from the kiss and Victoria continued her lies of lecturing.

''The Almighty Ernesto couldn't control himself as he leaned forward to kiss her again and Victoria returned the kiss as her eyes shut automatically enjoying every bit of it.

They pulled out from the kiss and stared at each other silently.

Ernesto was the first to break the silence as he spoke.

"I know this plan is to punish Camilla and I love it because I want to see her suffer as well.

Though I need her far away from my family, but you'll also be sleeping with my kid brother every night Victoria. And I can't stand the thought of him touches you, I love you too much to share you okay? He sincere muttered.

Ernesto glanced into her eyes silently and started cuddling her cheek, please don't do this to me Victoria. He muttered and immediately kissed her passionately. Let's find another way out, but on a second thoughts, this marriage thing isn't necessary because Camila is already in jail for life.

Tell mother you can't marry Robert and about Jessica we will get her a Nanny and I know Robert would want that too..

Unless maybe you have feelings for my brother, if that's not the case then let's get married.

Be my wife victoria, marry me instead but not my brother, if you truly want to be married then let's get married tomorrow.

''Victoria giggles when he said that. Why are you laughing when there is nothing hilarious in what I just said.

Ernesto asked but Victoria keeps on laughing, she scoffed at him and mumbled, I'm happy to see you get jealous of your own brother. She teased and Ernesto chuckled lightly.

So you love to see me get jealous right? He asked and she slowly nodded with a grin, Ernesto shook his head and smiled, come here he said and pulled her into a hug.

Ernesto break free from the hug and stared through her eyes, will you marry me Victoria?

"No Ernesto, I can't marry you!"

What did you just say Victoria? You can't marry me but you can get married to my brother right?

Ernesto please don't do this, try to understand what I'm saying.

Have you thought of what's gonna happens if I marry you?

"And what's that? He asked eagerly.

Jessica is the problem Ernesto. "There'll always be Camila and Robert" because of Jessica. And I believe you understand my point.

The only solution is to get Jessica a new family to tear mother and father for good.

Ernesto stood still for sometime and

nodded.

You've a point though, but.......

No but Ernesto, if someday Jessica gets to Know of Camila's exitance. She'll definitely bring back her parents together and have you thought of the consequences?

That means Camila will be out from jail because Jessica will do anything for her father to bring back her mother. The case will be reopen and I might go to prison not only me but you and Marcus have you thought of that?

You two are my accomplices to that crime.

If Robert hires a Nanny for his daughter, what explanation is he gonna give to his child when she grows? When she starts to ask questions about her mother, Ernesto your mother is doing this because of Jessica.

But you and I also have our own motive so try to understand. We can always be together even if I'm married to Robert, that will never change.

On a serious note, if I marry Robert Jessica will be my child for..........

Alright you'll marry my brother and I will make sure it happens Ernesto retorted immediately glancing at her.

Victoria sighed silently and grinned.

"I'm doing this for my family, and myself as well, but I have rules for you. He muttered and Victoria smile froze quickly.

"You want Camila to suffer, and for Jessica to recognizes only you as her mother right? He asked and she slowly nodded.

And i thusly want my brother to erase her from his heart completely so I accept your proposal Victoria.

But I don't want you to share the same bed with Robert. Victoria saddened as soon as he said that.

This marriage is to make Robert forgets about Camila right? He asked but Victoria didn't respond.

Are you alright? Ernesto questioned when he saw Victoria sadden and she quickly nods with a faintly grin..

Fine and about Jessica my niece, you will have to love her sincerely because she is my blood and my only niece.

Don't treat her badly just because Camilla is our enemy.

''If that should happened, you will have me answered to. He muttered seriously.

Victoria immediately shook her head.

''No Ernesto, you know me i can't hurt Jessi....

Oh please Victoria, cut the crap, who do you want to fool?

Of cause I know you, because you're capable of anything.

You killed Delarosa remember? And put the blame on your best friend, who apparently is spending her whole life in jail for a crime, you Victoria committed.

And now you're at the verge of taking her boyfriend as well as her daughter. So now tell me Victoria what more can't you do? He retorted sharply before she could complete her words.

Victoria eye brows parked as she glare hardly at him.

What's the stare for? Am I not saying the truth? He questioned and Victoria saddened.

He chuckled loudly and shrugged okay fine I know you can't hurt her. But, i'm still insisting not to hurt my niece for anything whatsoever because she is my fresh and blood.

In spite of her being Camilla's daughter, she's also a Downey so don't you dare hurt her all in the name of the hatred you have for Camilla. You wouldn't like what I will do to you if you go against my words.

I'm sure you don't want me as an enemy right? Then stick to my advice and everything will be in your favor my love. He muttered sounding extremely serious but in a passionate way.

Victoria flinched as she stood still not being able to utter a word.

All she did was to stare at him.

''Is there something you'll like to tell me, because you're staring too much. He whispered moving closer to her.

''Victoria blinked, as she exhaled deeply and immediately shook her head before she spoke.

Ernesto as I said I will never hurt your niece because I really love Robe....

''You love who? Ernesto hastily questioned as he furrowed his brows glaring darkly at her.
