M.I N.E endless Love
Chapter 44

Sara and Jared watched from the hospital. The both said nothing to the show of shame being displayed by Rodrigo.

Jared was bitter, he gnashed his teeth silently. What was good about this guy besides hai riches and handsomeness. Why did Camilla ever fall for such a guy?

She is too pure hearted to have rolled along with this monster. She was in this mess today because of him. Whoever kidnapped them and made her do all she was accused of, did it because of this demon of a guy. They all in a family were dragged into it. One day he would take revenge on Rodrigo for everything he's done to his sister. It may take years, but he would pay for it and at that time, he would regret what he's done. Sara blamed herself. After that accident Camilla had, she didn't like Rodrigo and detested him. It was she who told her to accept his kindness, considering what he's done to help her recover.

Had she known, she would have just thanked Rodrigo or gradually took his expenses as loan. They would have paid it to some extent already. But It Was she who told her good of him and now that the Imbecile had shown his true colours, she couldn't salvage the whole situation.

They watched as Rodrigo got engaged and was locked in a long passionate kiss with Emma. It was too real to be faked. It was long while everyone applauded them.

A tear fell off Sara's eyes and she sniffled. Jared didn't bother to calm her, he let her sob quietly when he tried to maintain his posture as a man.

It was late and Camilla had laid on her bed. It's been days now and her mother hadn't come to check on her. Were they really murdered? Has anything happened to them?

She was worried. She needs to know what happened to her mother and brother. She can't afford to be the reason for anything bad happening to them.

If she didn't get any news from them, she would ask to see them. Any one of them would do. She just wants to know they are fine.

But suddenly she heard her name "Camilla Dickson" the warder in charge of the night shift called her name. Before she could answer, Kimberly jumped up. "Why are you disturbing her sleep? Don't you know she is sleeping already?" She asked, already used to Camilla and wants to protect from being bullied. "Mind your business Kimberly" the warder warned and looked at the quietly lying Camilla without any traces of emotions.

"If I don't mind my business, what would you do, eehh tell me" Kimberly asked, shutting her chest forward and ready for a fight.

Camilla smiled secretly. Where did such an elderly woman get the strength to fight? This woman never ceases to amaze her.

"Mtcheeew, I didn't come for you Kimberly. You such a lousy woman" the warder said and threw a brown envelope towards Camilla and walked away.

"If you dare disturb my goddaughter again, I will punch your face" Kimberly threatened but the warden had already gone without looking back.

Camilla sat up and held the large brown envelope. She felt it and it appears it's pictures. Kimberly walked over and felt it too.

"It's pictures, check them dear" she said and returned to lay down on her bed. Camilla shrugged and carefully tore the brown envelope.

She took out a paper first and recognised the writing. It was Rodrigo's handwriting " This is a tip of the iceberg. I won't rest until I see you pay for terminating the life of my unborn child and ruining my trust and love for you.." She squinted. He was capitalising on the fake report that said she aborted a pregnancy? He thinks so unhealthy of her

She brought out the pictures from the envelope and immediately saw the part where Rodrigo walked to meet Emma and intertwined their fingers together.

She was dazed. He was going out with her already? He took her to a social gathering? He couldn't even wait for her to be behind bars before aligning with her?

Shouldn't he investigate the whole thing? Where is his bravery and intelligence? He had suddenly lost them because he had someone already beckoning to him?

She wanted to push the pictures aside but felt a compulsion to see the entire pictures. She then started looking through.

Each one makes her feel more terrible than the last one. Until she saw the final one. It was too much for Camilla to take. She started sobbing profusely.

She had lost him forever. Nothing was ever going to happen to them again. She lost him to Emma, to that she-devil. She looked at the picture again and saw Rodrigo in deep kiss with Emma.

It was exactly like it used to be with her when he was happy and wanted to get intimate with her. What's all these that Rodrigo had done?

He was engaged to Emma. He promised to be engaged to her and not Emma. He promised it can only be her that he would get engaged to, but he did it with Emma.

What about the promise he made to her? What of the good times they spent together, their excitement, their love making, their laughter, their promises and how he told her he wants her to be pregnant.

He had Soon forgotten that? How can he forget so soon except it was not real, not genuine back then. He faked it.

She was pregnant and he was nowhere to be found. He's always wanted her to be pregnant and now he tortures her and his unborn child because someone framed her that she had an abortion.

She touched her belly and caressed it "your father has betrayed us, he's gone to get engaged to another woman. Now, it's just you and I, he's no longer a part of our life.

You are the only thing I have now in this whole world. Whatever happens, don't leave me...."Camilla's voice choked and Kimberly suddenly stood up and came to her.

She heard what she said and how she caressed her belly and her motherly emotions were let loose. She held Camilla and for a long time didn't say anything.

Camila was sobbing. She almost sobbed too but held her tears in check. She checked the pictures and knew certainly that man in happy moments with another woman in that photo was her child's father.

"I didn't do anything, I was framed and he believed them.." Camilla blurted. She explained to Kimberly everything that happened without the latter asking her.

She can't hold it on in her heart alone. She needed to share her feeling of heartbreak with someone else. This is the end of her and Rodrigo's love.

Kimberly understood her. She definitely loves this guy in the photo. She had hoped that he would realise that she was innocent but on the contrary, he went farther in hurting her.

Kimberly told her to stop sobbing. It will only take time but no matter how fast lies can go, someday truth will overtake it and prevail.

She will eventually be vindicated. But how soon is what she cannot assure her but certainly she would be found guilty and her man will return to her.

But Camilla shook her head. If she was set free that day, there is no chance for Rodrigo anymore in her life. His Chapter in her life had ended.

She loves him, yes, and she still very well loves him but she was done with such a man whose promises don't go beyond his lips.

While Camilla was feeling hurt, Rodrigo was having his own share of the heartache. His chauffeur drove him home after the engagement party and as usual, Joel accompanied him home first.

But from the moment Rodrigo came out of the hotel, he lost the last bit of peace he had. He was in trouble. He didn't have anything for Emma, but he kissed her as he ought not, all because he wants Camilla to see it and feel hurt. Right inside the car, he started drinking. Everyone around him knew Rodrigo was having some troubles, which he couldn't share. He was restless, why did he send those pictures to her, why?

By the time they arrived home, his eyes were red and he just sank into the sofa. He hadn't been sleeping in his room because somehow, it smelled of Camilla.

He pulled his tie off and threw his jacket on the floor. This is terrible. He was sweating and restless. " Camilla why?" he muttered to himself.

What about the promise he made to her? He told her he would be engaged to her, it wasn't quite two weeks when he made the last promise. He loves her very much but why did he treat her the way he did?

It was at such a critical time that his senior security official came to inform him about something important.

"President Campbell, I need to bring to your notice that Ambrose Kelvin's..." he hadn't finished talking when Rodrigo yelled at him.

"Enough! Get out of my sight. Go and handle what is your responsibility and let me be. I need space, get out!" He yelled at him.

The security looked at himself and was lost. Why is the boss taking it so personal? He was just going to tell him that Ambrose Kelvin's remains was missing.

Without another word, he turned back and went away. If the boss ever asks him any question in the future, he would remind him that he was the one who sent him away.

He would have just called his girlfriend and asked her to tell her co accomplice to deliver the corpse of the deceased in their custody.

Joel had closed for the day. That fellow seemed to care less about Rodrigo's emotions these days. Rodrigo thought and just shrugged as he took the bottle of alcohol to his mouth again, belching in between. Camilla sob the entire night. Why was she ever given birth? Who are her parents, the Imbeciles who gave her life? She wants to curse them.

It was better that she was never born. Why does she have to keep experiencing the same thing over and over. First, it was Felix Freeman.

He jilted her suddenly and was married to her friend. Now, Rodrigo. His own was more terrible than Felix Freeman. He ruined her and made her family homeless.

Now, he went ahead and was engaged to her worst rival. Emma won, and she lost to her. She succeeded and Rodrigo had paved the way for a better future for himself and Emma.

She wants to end it, she just wants to die and save herself from future sorrow and pain. She wished that death would take her away. She would replace rest in death than be alive and experiencing such a terrible fate. Kimberly calmed her down and told her everything will be fine. She said she should take her mind off Rodrigo and pretend as if she never knows him.

It was going to be hard but if she can master it, she would replace peace and not get disturbed anymore. He coaxed her and it was past midnight before Camilla finally dozed off but tears remained in her eyes.

Two days later, Jared was discharged from the hospital. They had nowhere else to go besides the apartment Joel had offered them.

When they got there, they found a middle aged woman who was there. She seemed to be waiting for them and took them in.

She introduced herself as the house help Joel had hired to take care of the apartment until their arrival. She helped them to get settled and remained there for two days before she left.

Jared was not perfectly fine, but at least, he could walk around slowly while he remained on the path to total recovery.

Sara had no rest. She went with Jared to try and see Camilla but she wasn't allowed still. She can't remain like this, doing nothing to help save her daughter from jail.

She went to the bank and withdrew all her savings to replace a lawyer. She met three attorneys that told her they could help her but because the case was related to Rodrigo Campbell, they were not willing to be involved thereby putting themselves on his black list.

She started sobbing again. No one was going to help her save her daughter? No one was willing to come to her aid. Camilla was innocent and yet, she was suffering so much.

Jared contacted a few friends who are lawyers but it was the same story. They gave up. What else can they do, they were not allowed to see her neither was there any attorney who accepted to defend her.

"Godmother, can you help me replace out if my mother and brother are fine? I haven't seen them for a long time now" Camilla asked Kimberly.

She had come to take Kimberly as her godmother. She was gradually getting used to her new life. What else can she do if she doesn't accept what comes before her.

She hadn't forgotten about Rodrigo but knew they would meet again one day, and she doesn't know where he would put his face when he sees her.

It might take years and it may be till her old age when grey hairs all covered her hair, but she knows she would meet Rodrigo again!
