M.I N.E endless Love

Jared walked in and saw Mirabel cleaning her tears and Rodrigo pouring himself a glass of wine. He hadn’t really stepped into Rodrigo’s sitting room.

But it’s so beautiful with a large portrait of Camilla sitting on the shelf. He saw it and looked away. He now had her large portrait hung in his sitting room but forgot to hang her love around his neck when he needed to.

“Why did you answer my phone when I went to the restroom?” Jared blurted out. His eyes were Popping out anger and fire.

That statement suddenly made Mirabel gain a kind of boldness that Jared never expected. The latter almost concluded that it’s because shexwas before her brother.

Mirabel stood up and glared at him “oh because it’s Camilla? I shouldn’t have answered the phone because your dear sister was the one who called right?” She snapped at him.

Rodrigo’s hand which was taking wine to his mouth paused. Did he hear Mirabel’s words properly? Camilla called him and she answered?

Has Jared been in contact with Camilla all these months? That means he knew about her and his baby?

“Yes, that’s the reason why you shouldn’t have answered my phone. When do I start sharing the phone with you and you dare to answer my sister’s call” Jared snapped back at her.

“You know what, you are a cheat and a liar. You pretend not to know a thing about Camilla all these while and you kept mute about it?

You hated my brother so much because of what you think he did to Camilla and yet you have been in contact with her? I am a fool to have trusted you and think you are just the way you claim to be.

But today, I have discovered the secret and I will ensure you disclose to everyone the whereabouts of Camilla Dickson. I hate you for what you have done Jared” Mirabel looked straight into his eyes and reprimanded him.

“You are just like Rodrigo. You don’t know the extent of damages you have caused. But if I had known that you raised your hand against my sister and slapped her, pulled her hair off her hair with strands of the hair in your hands and testified against her in court.

I sure would have hated you as much as I hate Rodrigo. I would have known that you are mean and without a human feeling to do that to a woman like yourself and feel no remorse about it.

But today, you showed me your true colours and I am glad I know now before it becomes too late. You stay away from a liar and a cheat like me okay?” He turned and was going to leave.

Mirabel’s eyes were already welling up in tears. Camilla recalled her past and the impression she had on her on their first meeting. This was going to sever her relationship with Jared possibly forever.

All that was said seemed not to mean anything to Rodrigo as much as knowing Camilla’s whereabouts. As Jared was about to step out, be called back.

“Jared, please tell me where Camilla and my baby is” what matters to him now was finding Camilla and his baby. If she’s alive, definitely his baby should be fine as well.

Jared chuckled mockingly. “I don’t think you are qualified to know about my sister’s whereabouts. As for your baby, find it elsewhere.

Because my sister has babies and not just a baby. Though they look a lot like you and share your genes, your blood running through their faces, you will never have a claim to those cuties.

You don’t deserve to father them. They will never be Campbell’s, because hardly can a good person be found in your lineage” Jared declared and went away.

Rodrigo stood speechless. “Twins, two babies” he said silently but obviously he thought he was saying it in his mind and it came out of his lips.

Mirabel was dazed. Camilla has two babies. She’s an aunt. She saw the expression on Rodrigo’s face and knew he would become morose and Jared’s words had pinched his healing sore, a sore in the heart.

For another three days, Camilla wasn’t interested in answering Jared or Sarah’s call. She wasn’t in the mood to. She felt they had betrayed the trust she had in them.

Jared being in a relationship was something she approves of. But of all the young beautiful girls in City A, he didn’t find himself a love except that bitch?

And he hid it away from her. That implies that he could hurt her. If Rodrigo remotes his sister and she in turn, makes him do it. She will not forgive all who played a certain role in sending her to prison.

When Jared couldn’t reach him he had no option than to reach Eduardo. He told him all that has happened between himself and Camilla.

But she wasn’t answering her phone. He really wants to talk to her and explain all that has happened to her but she isn’t giving him a chance to do that.

Eduardo said ok. He would hear Camilla out first and get back to him. He did and all Camilla had to say was that he was dating the sister to her ex boyfriend.

Eduardo asked how that affected Jared’s love life and that he would ignore that feeling of love simply because the girl was her ex boyfriend’s sister.

Invariably, the lady in question is her babies Aunt. Camilla snapped at him that her kids have no father and hence doesn’t have such an Aunt.

Her brother laughed and said he wants her to let go of her grievances against Jared. Everything was going to be alright.

When Jared received a call from Eduardo and told him to call Camilla, she definitely would answer her phones. He did and it worked.

Rodrigo came to find Jared in his office. He applauded him and told him that his office is exquisite. But Jared just stared at him expressionless.

Seeing the fellow would not care he went straight to the point “I have never begged for anything in my life before I got them. I already found out that Camilla is related to Eduardo Anderson.

And the night she disappeared from City A, he was the one who flew her out. But please, don’t judge Mirabel based on my personality.

We are two individuals who share the same parents. She loves you and is ready to apologise for her wrongs and get things straightened between you two…” Rodrigo was saying when Jared told him to stop.

“I am a good person and not some rude arrogant things like you. You walked into my office to tell me about Mirabel. Do you have a conscience at all?

I also walked over to your company Many days back to tell you to save my sister. She did what she’s done to save our lives but tell me what you did?

Tell me, you have soon forgotten about it and you walked into my office to repeat a past without thinking about what you did back then.

The next time you Walk in here to solicit for your sister, I will treat you worse than this” he said and picked up the hot coffee on his desk, and next, splash it on Rodrigo’s suite.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“I spare you your eyes and I expect that you thank me. Now, the door!” Jared thundered.

Rodrigo was dazed. What goes around, surely comes around.

In City B, Camilla Anderson walked into the gangetic multi million dollar building that housed the companies. She took the presidential elevator to Eduardo’s office.

Camilla was dressed in an armless sky blue gown that is a little above her knees. She took a handbag that matches with her cream coloured pair of shoes on a heeled strappy sandals.

She made the tip of her hair curly and let it pour over her shoulders and on her wrist was a watch made from the purest diamonds.

She has this air of elegance and grace as she takes the elevators to her brother’s office. Some of the employees saw her and without being told, they knew she’s the young lady of Anderson’s family.

They bowed slightly in courtesy to her and in return Camilla smiled and waved a hand at them. She remembered when she was working as Rodrigo’s personal secretary, a wave of the hand or a smile could make her day.

The simplicity made many of the employees also come over and greet her. She looked beautiful and her straight white legs made her more attractive than the dressing she had on.

She got into Eduardo’s office and waited. He was in a zoom meeting and Camilla sat down on the couch and crossed her legs.

On the large glass desk was Eduardo’s picture with his family. He has a daughter now and she looked beautiful and chubby.

It was a picture where Eduardo, Jenny and Jess took. Jess is Eduardo’s daughter. She had known Eduardo as someone who cherished his wife and daughter a lot.

She remembered Rodrigo again. He definitely would have been a great dad to their kids. He had traits of a loving father but that opportunity wasn’t destined to be.

She and her kids, together with Rodrigo would have been in a picture and placed in front of his giant mahogany desk in City A. But now, those kids were gradually growing without a father.

Thank goodness she’s got a lovely family both in City A and in City B. Those families took away the emptiness of being without a father from those kids.

They were still young and possibly couldn’t ask for their father yet. But if someday they do, she would tell them that their father rejected them when he rejected her.

Rodrigo Campbell, a single day hasn’t passed that the thoughts of him would not cross her mind. She doesn’t know if she sees him, she would be able to curtail her inner excitement.

Camilla sighed softly and knew, there was never going to be them again. She and Rodrigo, the Chapter had closed.

She smiled when Eduardo waved at her. He signalled to her that he was almost done. And true to that, ten minutes later, he was done.

He stood up and came over to hug Camilla “I haven’t seen you in a week” he said, planting a featherlight kiss on her chin.

Camilla smiled and said she missed him and little Jess. Eduardo chuckled and asked if she didn’t miss his wife as well. Jenny was the reason there was Jess.

They both laughed and Eduardo returned back to sit on his swivel chair. He had called Camilla to come over because he needed to introduce her to her personal bodyguard.

She was making plans of returning to City A and he definitely would accompany her if the need be. But she was going to be a popular woman soon and he needed to introduce her to her bodyguard.

Eduardo’s secretary came in and prepared two glasses of coffee and presented it to the siblings. Before taking it, Camilla smiled and said thanks to her.

That appeared to mean a lot to the secretary than a few notes of dollars would do. She bowed before excusing the siblings.

“Why did you thank the secretary?” Eduardo asked. He had never treated any of the employees badly but he did not remember saying a word of thanks to them.

After all, they were paid to do the job. Why thanking them for doing what they ought to do?

“That word of thanks meant a lot to that secretary Eduardo. I used to be a secretary too and you have no idea how excited secretaries feel with that singular word.

Eduardo shrugged. Well, she has more cruel stories and a past that has modelled her life differently from he’s and Luke.

As they sipped the coffee, Eduardo soon dropped his glass of coffee and stared at Camilla with a smile. Camilla smiled and put down her own glass of coffee.

She had come to meet him for a purpose and not to drink coffee. So business calls and she has to be serious next.

“I’m glad you came around. First, you will be in charge of a few departments as the head of the various units and the managers of those units would make reports to you and you in return make a report to me.

You will have to be a part of the administration of the company here before I can be certain you can handle the company in City B.

Dad and mom seconded to my decision and I want you to start straight away. Luke is the vice president and you come next in hierarchy. Is that okay with you?” Eduardo asked.

Camilla smiled and took her glass of coffee, sipped and raised it up to Eduardo for a toast. He laughed and they made a toast.

“Fine. Since you accept this offer, you are going to be assigned to your personal bodyguard. He has been with us for a while now, and I think that he had impressed me enough to be trustworthy” Eduardo declared and took his phone, made a call to a certain person to come over.

Camilla nodded. Having a bodyguard sounds great. She would be able to go wherever she wants without having to bother her parents’ bodyguards.

The door was opened and the bodyguard walked in. Camilla was sipping from her coffee again and Eduardo asked the bodyguard to come closer.

Camilla removed the glass of coffee down and turned to take a glance at the bodyguard who just walked and she froze, the glass of coffee slipped off her hand and she gasped…
