M.I N.E endless Love -
Chapter 76: An impulse to know more.
Jared passed at Camilla's question. Why is she bringing Rodrigo's name in at a time they are happy and excited? She wants to sour the happy moments they were sharing?
"Why do you suddenly ask after Rodrigo? He is not important now" Jared asked, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction.
"Just want to know how he felt when he suddenly didn't have me where he could torture me anymore" Camilla gave a random reason and Jared knew that isn't the reason why she asked after him. "Tomorrow I will tell you everything you need to know about Rodrigo after you disappeared from City A. But in the meantime, I am just filled with excitement that I am seeing you again,"Jared declared. Camilla was happy that he said that, covering you the awkwardness in her heart. She doesn't know why she was asking about Rodrigo.
When Camilla retired to her room, she stayed up late, thinking about those happy times she had left behind. How everything seemed perfect with her family and basking in Rodrigo's love. Those times, Rodrigo longer for her to be pregnant. But now, she not only was pregnant but she has become a mother to Rodrigo's kids and he was far away, nowhere to be reckoned with. How she wished things didn't take this turn. That she doesn't have to be a single mom while the kids father longer to have them.
She feels complete except for Rodrigo that has gone off her life. If he was here with her, then she would have said her life has become perfect. But now, she can't really say the word perfect regarding her life. They were never to be again. Their lives have taken a different route, different destinies with a separation that comes from the heart.
The next morning, Sara and Susan Anderson were together the entire morning. The latter was full of appreciation to Sara as she helped to raise her daughter.
While the women were chatting as women and mothers, the youngsters were having their own time apart. Jared was by Camilla as he told him all that has happened so far.
The news of her disappearance kept everyone worried. Till the last minute they left City A the previous day, they were not yet able to say exactly what happened to her.
There was no trace of her in the airport and seaport, leaving the country. She had been on the search list in the entire city, yet no news of her anywhere.
That was when Jared talked about Rodrigo. He told her that he didn't get married to Emma Martins. Infact he stood Emma up for her. He went off when the news of her disappearance broke out.
Somehow, Camilla felt her belly sweet. Rodrigo thought highly of her much more than Emma. Otherwise how can it be explained that he left her waiting on their wedding to join forces who went in search of her. They were still talking when A servant came to inform Camilla that the babies need to be breastfed. She said okay and excused herself.
In Mexico, Joel walked into Rodrigo's hotel room and met him signing and writing comments on some documents or files as the case may be.
He had gone there to start a branch of the company and was already getting a foothold there. He hadn't been in City A in two months.
Many investors were already partnering with them already. He had gone to Mexico with Joel, his assistant.
"I discovered something that might interest you President Campbell" Joel declared and kept his gaze at him. This might sound casual but it might still be related to the answers that they seek for months now. Rodrigo didn't raise his head nor showed interest in what Joel was about to say. He continued writing on the files as if he didn't hear Joel talk to him.
Knowing Rodrigo wasn't expecting anything else than he should spill out whatever he's discovered. Joel went ahead:
"The dawn of the day Camilla went missing from prison, there was a private jet which flew out of the country. An investigation on the jet showed it's from the richest family in City B, owned by Eduardo Anderson" Rodrigo suddenly paused, and placed his pen down. He raised his head and stared at Joel. His eyes were full of questions like "what are you saying?"
He squinted, what can Someone like Eduardo Anderson have to do with Camilla Dickson? He probably can't have anything to do with Camilla's disappearance, can it? Rodrigo was asking himself some series of questions in his heart. He wants to know what such a man came to do in City A and has to leave soon.
"From investigation done, it was discovered that Eduardo Anderson was Justin Swaras best friend and they were seen together before he left" Joel informed further. Rodrigo nodded, "Investigate more, I want to know everything possible about that fellow Eduardo Anderson" he instructed and continued with his work. Something isn't right. It appeared to be interwoven. Not quite long after Camilla disappeared, Jared started working with Justin Swaras.
He hadn't ceased to wonder how Justin got to know Jared and trusted him to the point of making him his assistant. Life changes drastically for Sara and Jared.
Imagine Jared driving in his kind of car, living in a Mansion. How did he get the resources to become wealthy suddenly and the resources were not there when Camilla hadn't disappeared.
If Eduardo Anderson is Justin Swaras friend, and the same Justin is Jared's boss, then something isn't right. There is something they both are hiding and it appears no one knows about it yet.
He would talk to Mirabel as well. He took his phone and called his sister, they aren't together, she's in City A and he was in Mexico.
"I want you to do something for me..."Rodrigo assigned his sister and Mirabel said she doesn't agree with his speculation.
Jared is good natured. That's all. He doesn't have any strings attached to being Justin's friend. He had grown from being an assistant to Justin Swaras into being his friend.
Seeing Mirabel was already in defence of Jared, Rodrigo simply said okay and hung up. Girls in love can be stupid at times.
Camilla was also stupid, otherwise why didn't she tell him about his mother offering her money to break up with him? He had asked her back then and she said it's a female talk.
If he at least knew about that, maybe they wouldn't have drifted so far away or she might never have stepped the threshold of a prison.
He would wait until Joel and the special people he assigned to investigate the whole thing get a positive explanation to give. If he knew Camilla is anywhere, even if she is on the moon, he would go after her until he replaces her, he would not return.
After two days, Jared and Sara had to return back to City A. Camilla noticed that Jared had been receiving calls from a certain woman and she teased and said she didn't know her brother was in a relationship already.
She said she wished him all the happiness that he deserved. But she hoped to return to City A before he gets married.
Sara smiled and said Jared would never be married if Camilla was not there. They wished that she would return someday to City A sooner than they expected.
But Camilla didn't ask the identity of his girlfriend and Jared was glad and tactically abioded disclosing it.
The Anderson's were particularly grateful to Sara and Jared for their kindness towards Camilla. Steve and Susan Anderson said they own their daughter to them. Susan gave Sara a piece of jewellery made from pure gold and diamond. They couldn't think of a better thing to offer them. They were now leaving big and classic.
Jared is a president over the Anderson company in City A. Though the identity of the real company owner was hidden, they already have made their lives comfortable.
Eduardo gave Jared some brief Orientations and told him they are investing in that company now. And he would ask all the partners and co investors to partner with their branch company in City A.
That company is owned by Camilla. But he needed to preside over it till she returned. They all will return with her when she's ready and those who have bullied and trample on her will come crawling at her feet. When Jared heard what Eduardo said, he smiled. It would be great to see Rodrigo bite his fingers and kneel before Camilla to seek her forgiveness.
He longed for that day to come. How insignificant will he feel before Camilla? From what he was seeing now, and the paradise Anderson called a mansion, they lived way better than Rodrigo's.
He won't be mistaken if he concluded that the Anderson was way wealthier than the Campbell's. He nodded and told Eduardo how grateful he is for the new life he gave him.
Eduardo laughed and said as for the new company they obtained from Martin Kim, it will shut down until Camilla arrives. When she decided to kickstart it, it will be merged with the company at hand.
Camilla will be travelling to London to study at the School of Business and administration. When she's back, she will be returning to City A.
Having given Jared all the outlines of activities that he wanted, he instructed him to stick to his boss Justin Swaras. He would be his shield for now, till everything becomes unveiled.
As Jared and Sara were driven to the airport, Susan Anderson accompanied Camilla to see them off. Their bodyguards followed behind making it appear like a convoy.
Seeing the cars after them, Jared couldn't believe how drastic life had changed.
Their life Changed for the better, thanks to Camilla. She had only brought positivity into their lives and now, he doesn't know maybe to be happy that everything happened back then.
It was shame, humiliation and disgraceful event but it turned out to birth Camilla's greatness, wealth and better life. That betterness also brought greatness into their lives.
Everyone now wants to relate with them. His mother became an important personality in the society and he had to deliberately turn away from admirers.
But they were still the same Dickson that people despised in the past. They counted them as trash and dung of society.
No one reckoned with them. They haven't changed, they still have the same face, hair, complexion and name. Nothing changed except their status. And that singular thing "status" that changed made everything and everyone changed towards them.
And all these happened because of Camilla. She's the best sister anyone could desire. He wished that she would replace happiness again and fall in love with someone who truly would respect her and love her sincerely.
As they arrived at the airport, Camilla stepped out of the car in a sun shade, she looked radiant and beautiful. Eyes turned in her direction but she appeared not to notice.
No one out there was ever going to believe she's a mum of two kids. Her hair was curly at the tip and as she gave it a great treatment that literally, it glitters.
Jared looked at her with eyes full of admiration. He wants Mirabel to look so beautiful like his sister in every sense of the word.
He came over and held her by the wrist, they looked like lovers and the sight of it pleased Susan. She asked the bodyguards to take photographs of such a posture of Jared and Camilla.
Several photos were taken while the two women dressed in best designer wear and golden jewelries. Their appearance alone depicted them as women of class.
"No matter what happened, you will always remain Camilla's mother" Susan Anderson chimed, her excitement and love for Sara and Jared, she cannot yet describe the depth of it.
"You are a good woman Susan to have given life to such a wonderful child"Sara responded, both women holding hands.
"You are right, Sara. I gave her life but you raised her despite having the option of abandoning a crying baby. You moulded her into becoming a great woman. I will never forget your kindness" Susan Anderson declared with moist eyes as she gave Sara's palm a soft squeeze.
While the women were watching their daughter with Jared, the siblings were chatting ".. I for one awaits your return Camilla" Jared chimed.
"I hope to return when I am back from London. Eduardo said I must spend a few months or a year in London. And I can't leave now because of my babies.
I have to watch them grow a little older than they are now. When they do, I will wean them before going to London. Until then, I can't really say exactly when I will return..." Camilla was saying when they heard the announcement that it was time to board the plane.
Jared kissed Camilla's temple like a lover will do to his girlfriend. And went to hug Susan, Camilla's mother.
Sara and Susan hugged each other with so much emotion as if they had been sisters all their lives. They parted and waved to each other.
Camilla and Susan stayed back and watched Sara and Jared go from them, turning at them and waving goodbye.
Just as they disappeared out of their sight, Susan said "they are good people Camilla and I will forever be grateful that you meet them in this life"
Camilla sniffled and said "you mean we are fortunate to meet them in this life mum?" She said, correcting her mother's statement.
It wasn't her alone but the Anderson's family as a whole. What would the story have been if she ended up in the wrong hands? "You are right dear. We are fortunate to know them" Susan said.
