M.I N.E endless Love
Chapter 55

Mirabel paused and lingered by the door, she wanted her mother to hang up so she could come in. She needs to tell her mother what Rodrigo just discovered and the effect of it on him already.

But suddenly, her attention was drawn to what her mother was saying "... Rodrigo and Emma's wedding being cancelled has got nothing to do with me. I hope you understand that Ella.

You are such an ungrateful woman. I already helped you in ensuring that Camilla was sent out of Rodrigo's life. Now they both are enemies, two parallel lines that can never be met.

What else do you want? I want the company's documents as soon as possible if you love yourself. I kept my part of the bargain and now you wouldn't release the company's documents to me rather you sealed empty papers to me. And you are telling me you don't know anything about the documents. Camilla was too frightened to do contrary to what we wanted at the time.

I still blame myself for being a part of the conspiracy that sent that girl to jail even if she was innocent. Get me those papers, originals of it if you don't want to feel my wrath..." Lola was saying.

Mirabel was shocked. Or let's say shocked was an understatement. She felt as if her breath would skip. What did she hear her mother saying to Ms Ella?

She knew she was talking to Ms Ella on the phone. Had she been a part of a conspiracy against Camilla? She was actually acting back then?

Suddenly she blurted in a shaking voice "mother" as her eyes welled up in tears. Lola shivered as she heard her daughter's voice and quickly hung up before turning swiftly to face her.

She smiled an awkward smile, trying to pretend and cover up as if she wasn't the one agitating on the phone a few seconds away.

But it was too late. The look of disappointment on Mirabel's face, her teary eyes and her shaking lips as she stood with her complexion turned Ashen.

Lola knew she heard, her daughter heard her conversation and the cat had been let out of the bag. Her secret has ceased to be secret because she can not predict what Mirabel would do or say next. "What have you done?" Mirabel asked as she broke down sobbing. She hurriedly ran towards her room, getting away from the sight of her mother.

Lola stood and saw her daughter run before her brain could process that she left in tears and disappointment. She suddenly woke up from her sleep walking or maybe we termed it sleep-standing now. "Mira, Mirabella, Mirabel.." calling out loud at her in the different ways her name could be called. She walked out of her room and started walking abruptly towards her daughter's room.

If Rodrigo learnt of this secret, she was done for. She can't imagine how actions and decisions he would make. She needs to plead with Mirabella not to say a word of it to Rodrigo.

Rodrigo couldn't sleep that night. He can't believe Camilla was pregnant. But the medical report said she was pregnant and that woman Kimberly or whatever she calls herself confirmed it that she was pregnant.

How can he do this to Camilla and his unborn baby? If the part of the accusation that she has an abortion was false, other accusations might be false as well.

She was actually set up? But if it was false, where are the documents of the company? He had been searching and investigating about it since Camilla was sent to prison and he didn't get a trace of it.

What about the death of Ambrose Kelvin? That one was glaring. She really committed murder and stole the company's documents.

If the part of committing abortion was lie and false, how about this glaring ones? Can it also be said to be false?

He doesn't know what to believe. He doesn't know how to take the news of his dear Camilla being pregnant.

Rodrigo was restless. He was afraid to discover he was wrong all along about the way he treated her. He is worried if he wakes up the next day and realises she was innocent.

How will he forgive himself? No, as much as he doesn't want to imagine it, he still wishes that she was not guilty. But if it was so, how will he replace her and apologise to her, making up for the wrongs he's made? She's gone missing and not even the government officials were able to replace any clue or link to her whereabouts. Was she dead or something?

No, he hates to think of death about her. She can't die and leave him in the regrets he was already envisaging for himself.

Did someone really schemed against her so badly? There's only one person who was against her so much and that person is Emma Martins, he supposed fiance.

And he hates her because of him. She wants to be the favoured one in his heart and not Camilla. But the heart doesn't play its games like men.

He would wait. It shouldn't take Joel so much time to discuss the truth. He wants to know and besides, he has assigned his bodyguards to work along with Joel to fasten the investigation.

Rodrigo was sleepless, so also was Camilla. Susan spent the night in her room but Camilla was long awake after her mother slept off.

She couldn't take her mind off Rodrigo. He threw her off like a flea when she needed him. He didn't ask her nor investigate to know why she did what she did, he went mad with her and became brutal.

She had always known Rodrigo doesn't show Mercy when he wants to Carry out his ruthlessness, but it shouldn't be towards her.

He said he loved her and she can vouch for him that he did back then or that he showed her love and she was lost in its fantasies to know that life was not real.

His lips could say it a thousand times but his heart repelled her. He demolished her mother's business and even the house. Does he think she bought them with his money?

Thinking about her mother Sara, she decided to make a call but didn't have a phone yet. She decided to call them first thing the next morning so they would know she's fine now.

A lone tear fell off her eyes and she sniffled silently. Her mother was sleeping and she didn't want to wake her up.

She's not yet used to her real mother. She still sees her through the eyes of a stranger or a helper. Soon, she hoped to be united with them with her whole heart.

They seemed to love her and cherish her coming home. But she has to make up her mind to see them as her true family. Where she really belonged.

Next morning, Eduardo was back to his Official activities again. He was at the breakfast table when Jenny came downstairs.

She went and planted a featherlight kiss on his hairy chin before sitting to have breakfast too. She's gotten so addicted to Eduardo over the months.

To say she's in love with him was the least. She's head over heels for him. She practically adores him especially now that he is out of the wheelchair.

He is cute and charming. His height and physique were alluring. Ever since she learnt how he saved her mother, she had grown more respect for him than ever before.

She loves him and never stops imagining what her life would have been, or the turns she would have taken if her cousin and Aunt didn't make the greatest mistake of their lives by making her married to Eduardo.

But that mistake, that they made has made her happy and granted an avenue to save her mother. Now, she will never stop being grateful that she married Eduardo.

Though it's been months since they were married, they hadn't consummated the wedding yet. Even at that, they weren't in any way different from a normal couple.

"Good morning" Eduardo said first, picking a glass of juice and sipping it down. He was all dressed up and was going to head to the company.

He's been away from the company for quite some days now. He was returning there as much work was compiled, waiting for his decision and signature.

"Good morning sweetheart" Jenny replied sitting in front of him with a megawatt smile. Eduardo glanced at her and smiled too.

"I wish I could join you to the office, my love. I don't feel like staying at home all day" Jenny complained. She wasn't really looking forward to being a working class woman but she wanted to be by Eduardo's side all day. The latter smiled and glanced at her briefly before saying "I don't want you to labour for anything. Besides, I want you to keep Camilla Company at this time that she just arrived.

You both are of the same age bracket and you will help her blend quickly with the family..."Eduardo coaxed her.

Camilla just found her family. It may not be as easy as they thought for her to fully accept her family in her heart. He wants her to accept reality and the truth.

This is her real family. Her parents and siblings are those people she is related to. They are those who share the same history and ancestors with her.

"It's ok, anything you say Sweetheart" Jenny replied, helping herself to the breakfast. What can she say but yes.

Eduardo had done more than enough for her. The least she can do now is to say ok and do things that he wants. "Thank you," Eduardo said with a smile. Just the he remembered something else

"Tell me something, any news about your cousin Betty?" He asked, wondering if she knew anything indeed.

"Betty? I haven't heard from that fellow in months. Is everything alright?" Jenny asked. It's very unlike Eduardo to ask about Betty.

Eduardo stared at her with an expressionless face. He hadn't told her what happened back then. Contemplating on telling her or not.

"Well, your cousin and Aunt came to see me in my office one fateful day..." Eduardo told her about Sebrina and Betty's visit to his office and how he was told the younger woman was pregnant. Pregnant with Luke's child. After talking with Luke, the latter said he didn't remember doing anything with her but he woke up to replace himself in that Davis house.

He had claimed to be there for dinner, being invited by Betty. But something happened, and he didn't remember how he ended up spending the night there.

Only to wake up to replace Betty accusing him of rape. He couldn't deny it because he was shirtless when he found himself. She had suddenly disappeared into thin air adteruke Requested for DNA. "Shit!!" Jenny exclaimed, tapping her middle finger on the dining table. Betty is a bitch.

Eduardo paused and stared at his wife. Her facial expression was that of surprise, then it changed to anger and finally lingered on hostility.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you about this for a while now" Eduardo apologised. He doesn't know he didn't tell Jenny all along.

"Betty has a reputation of being a flirt. I was wondering back then when I discovered he was going to be married to you, how she intended to explain the loss of her first time.

You should have told me. We would have searched for her boyfriend and asked him some questions. If she really wants to replace her way into your family, she can adopt any method.

As for knowing where she is, my answer is no. But you don't have to worry, when I apprehend her parents and have them imprisoned, she will come out of her hiding" Jenny declared. Eduardo nodded. That means Jenny and her mother are now ready to take up the case against Sebrina Davis and her husband.

"Katie is returning soon and I hope she won't come here to create a scene for us all?" Eduardo declared.

"Katie, who is Katie?"
