Rodrigo talked with Camilla late into the night. When they finally hung up, Rodrigo smiled to himself. Jenny said she had a lifetime surprise for him when he returned.
It wasn't his birthday. What could that surprise be? Anyways he would soon Return back to City A and that surprise, he wants to know it badly.
He called his grandfather and the old Man said he is fine now. Everything is fine and asked him how was the meeting for which he travelled?
Rodrigo told him how he had successfully gotten into the heart of the City and found how he would win the hearts of the companies there to partner with them.
His grandfather was impressed. And told him when he returns, his sister Mirabel would join him in a
Rodrigo finally was returning back to City A with a determined mind. He was informed already that the party was going to be held at the Hotel Pacific.He had called Camilla and she said she would join him at the hotel. She wasn't the usual cheerful Camilla but he knew whatever it was, he would be there to cheer her up when he got home.As he alighted from the airport, his chauffeur was there, ready to drive him home but he asked that he drive him to the hotel.Rodrigo called Camilla and the latter did not answer her phone. He shrugged, she definitely would call him back. But Rodrigo arrived and stepped into the party hall.But he was met with strange glances and the place was supposed to be bubbling
Camilla was led out of Campbell's group in handcuffs. Her hair was rumpled and she looked terrible. Her both cheeks were red from numerous slaps and her ears were bleeding but couldn't be observed because of her hair covering it.She looked haggard and can hardly be recognized as the beautiful Camilla Dickson. Photographs were being taken, video of her coming out of the company was being recorded and before being pushed into the police van, she looked back and her eyes locked with Joel.Joel was following her behind. He can't believe a thing that was said by Rodrigo's family nor Camilla herself. She was saying something else but her eyes were showing pure innocence.He doesn't know why but he was perceiving innocence in all her words. Something isn't right,
Everyone watched as Clara was taken away. Susan Anderson couldn't bring herself to say anything. She just stared in tears and watched as the sister she grew up knowing was so evil and mean."That's enough mum, no more tears. I will find my sister and bring her to you. At least we know where to find her and we would start from somewhere" Eduardo coaxed his mother.He pulled Jenny away and was going to leave. The dinner had ended without anyone taking a bite from the meal. No one was interested in having any meal that night." Thank you brother" Luke also showed appreciation. They are soon on the path of getting their sister and bringing her home to her family.That night the An
"Camilla is going to be sent to prison, aren't you going to do anything about it?" Joel asked. He had come to find Rodrigo the previous night and found him on the sofa, sleeping.He knew he was probably feeling hurt. He went to help him but a thick stench of alcohol was coming from him. He was drunk. He supported him and helped him into his bedroom.If he wasn't drunk last night, he wanted to ask him to take things gently. He shouldn't be rash in his decision and actions towards Camilla. He should go and find her and hear her put first.Camilla doesn't look like someone who could do that. She cannot do any of those things she claimed to do. Perhaps she was being manipulated or threatened to do and say such words.&nbs
He logged into the internet and saw that there were demands of explanation from the public to confirm if Camilla truly was his girlfriend or not.A faint grin appeared on Rodrigo's lips, this is the first step in his Revenge. He wanted to assign Joel but remembering what he said in the car earlier, he assigned his chief bodyguard to the task.Joel had remained quiet that entire morning. He doesn't know why but felt Camilla was suffering for an unjust cause. He felt she couldn't do that. Even if she does it, Rodrigo should talk to her and ask her why she did that.It wasn't exactly one hour, Joel heard that Rodrigo was holding a press meeting with Journalists. He was surprised. He was doing that and he didn't know before everyone else?
Unable to find them, he went to their old apartment and asked after them. No one seemed to be interested in helping him until he saw a good Samaritan who told him about their new address.Quickly, Felix Freeman got into his car and drove himself there. When he arrived there, he found the location where the address carried to be a just demolished building which was set on fire and the thick smoke coming out of the building was polluting the atmosphere.Felix Freeman became weak. He felt his legs couldn't carry his weight and he found himself staggering to his car to sit down. This is definitely Rodrigo's handiwork.This is a battle of Revenge. No matter what Camilla had done, she had been sent to jail, she was already paying for her crimes even though he knew she
What they found in its place was a pile of rubbish and smoke coming from it. Sara couldn't take it, she collapsed. Her body cannot take more nor can she keep her blood pressure in check as she fainted.Jared screamed and went quickly to get his mother. He was going to get help when he saw Felix Freeman come. Seeing the commotion, he went to give him a helping hand."Get away from us, we don't need you Felix" Jared yelled, lifting his mother off the floor to go and find a cab. The journalists who have been lurking around to question Camilla's family flooded the area."This is not the best attitude to put on now, Jared. Your sister is sitting in jail and your mother is fainted. At least for once, let's put our differences and offences aside" Felix Freem
Eduardo felt his fingers forming a fist. He was enraged by her words and his fury was all over him. His sister in a dunghill? That is too much wickedness.And the demon-like aunt said she refused to die. She had wanted to kill the baby then. That was her intention then and all these years, she kept that secret in her heart. She's a she- devil.Without another word, Eduardo turned himself and left. He cannot wait there another thirty seconds otherwise, he would punch this demon's face."Come and hit me, why are you going in your wheelchair, cripple Imbecile" Clara mocked. She saw his fisted hand and knew Eduardo was controlling himself.Eduardo didn't turn back to look at her but went away. He would find hi
Camilla was dazed by Rodrigo's words. It wasn't like Mirabel hadn't told her that Rodrigo was getting married to someone else, but hearing him saying it to her was like drilling her heart with a dagger. He could say to her that he was getting married and doesn't want her around him to avoid distraction. Oh she's always been a distraction to him. "Yeah, you heard me right" Rodrigo emphasised it, this time, he stood up, he wasn't interested in saying anything further. "Stop there Rodrigo" Camilla called but the latter didn't stop nor turned to look back at her. He wasn't interested in talking more with her. Seeing her, she looks so unclean before him. Camilla went after him but Rodrigo already got in and shut the door. She banged the door,but Rodrigo wouldn't listen nor open it. "Is this how you really wanted us to part? If you get married to someone else, I won't let you have access to your kids. We would shut you out of our lives forever. I loved you and have lived
Rodrigo's countenance changed. What is going on here? Why does he feel they are not happy that he was going to be married simply because that person is not Camilla. "What sort of question is that? Nothing is going to happen to her and her kids. I can't remember having kids anywhere ok?" Rodrigo declared and gently kissed his niece's chin, placed her down to go to her mother. He stood up. "I have an important business to settle tonight" he declared and was going to stroll out with his long legs when Lola called: "Rodrigo" she called and the latter paused. He didn't move on but he didn't turn back as well. Lola walked over and stood in front of him. He looked up at his face and held his hands "I know I haven't been the best mum to you concerning your love life,but please, take a deep breath and search your heart for who you truly love. Camilla is actually waiting for you. And your kids just left the house a few hours again before your arrival. They've become an integral
Two years later Jade and Jude ran around the glass house with their little cousin Jasmine. Jasmine is a little blond girl. She's beautiful and chubby like her cousin Jade. Mirabel and Camilla had gone out together, particularly to Justin's engagement and left their kids with their grandma. Lola was always so excited whenever she got to see her grandchildren. The first time Camilla brought the kids to their great-grandfather for blessings, she couldn't hide her excitement. She doesn't need anyone to tell her who they are. Immediately she saw them, she knew they were her grandchildren. The boy was a spitting image of his arrogant father. She hugged them and sobbed. She really sobbed that day. Partly for her dear husband who did live to see his grandchildren and secondly for Rodrigo who had been deprived the right of a father by Camilla. Larry Campbell had blessed the kids that day and she did as well. If Brian was alive, he wouldn't have blessed them better than her and
Camilla arrived at Justin's Mansion. She succeeded in getting passed the securities because they knew her as Justin's friend and she's been there a few times in the past. She arrived at Justin's place and was allowed to get in. She got to his sitting room and waited, Justin already saw her from his CCTV camera. Justin came downstairs and saw Camilla tossing back and forth. He squinted and wondered what might have happened this time. Has Rodrigo threatened her and she is seeking solace at his place? Anyways,it probably can't be anything related to that scandal. That's in the past now. Camilla paused and turned sharply to come face to face with Justin. Her eyes were red indicating she had been sobbing. Those red eyes were spitting fire. Her frown made Justin Swaras be taken aback. "Camilla, is anything the matter?" Justin asked. Coming over to pull her to himself but was dazed when Camilla raised her hand and motioned him to halt. "Are you really my friend Justin
The next few days went smoothly. Jared and Mira have gotten a separate apartment and no longer share the same Mansion with Camilla. Camilla was now living with Sara and the servants. Her kids and their nanny. To be more protective, she ordered that they should never be taken out of the Mansion without her consent. She had become restless after that day she saw Rodrigo and he ignored her. He had looked forward to her letting go of her grievance against him and now that she was ready, he wasn't interested anymore, at least that's what it appeared to be. She needed to find Jared. Talk things over with him and ask him if he ever found out anything about Rodrigo's scandal, who was actually responsible for it. She was going to find Jared the next day when she got to find him at work. She sighed, what is Rodrigo doing at the time? Was he in his study, doing some work as usual or was he drinking and partying? But he seldom does the latter. If he did,it means it is important a
" Aren't you going to get us an ice cream?" Jade asked. Now, her mummy was going to get them all ice cream but she returned feeling like she saw a ghost. "Yes, baby. But I've changed my mind" Camilla replied. She suddenly was no longer interested in eating an ice cream but to return home and lock herself in her room. "Was it that cute uncle that made you change your mind?" Jade propped. Her mummy changed her mind after walking behind that uncle who seemed not to hear her calling him. She saw her from the car. Camilla was dazed. She saw her following behind Rodrigo? She really did to have ask such a question. But when she thought that Jade referred to Rodrigo as uncle, her heart bleeds. He was supposed to be called daddy as they call her mummy. But a daughter saw her father and doesn't know the relationship she shared with him. And even called him uncle. "Just accept it the way mummy said it. Can't you see that the uncle ignored mummy? Is that not enough to lose i
"What I want to know is, how many times does a Man get punished for the same mistake? You almost had him killed in City B. And now, you totally murdered his personality. How many more times will you still punish him" Susan Anderson asked. At this time, Camilla's eyes had reddened. She doesn't know how to answer that question. Both of her mothers have spoken words that showed how disappointed they were in her. "I swear I didn't know a thing about this. I didn't. I can't even believe that someone was recording the whole shit. I didn't do it" Camilla declared and couldn't hold her tears as she walked away from everyone. Jade and Jude came downstairs for breakfast and saw their mother walking past them in a hurry without her usual kisses at them. Last night, everyone just melted away from their party and next they were taken to their rooms. This morning their mum was sobbing. They were kids, babies and besides their nanny, no one else understands them so well. Even their
Rodrigo paused but didn't take any steps back. He turned and stared at Justin as he kept laughing and walking close to Rodrigo. He looked at the things in Mira's hands and the bicycles on the floor. He chuckled aloud "Tell me something Rodrigo, do you think Camilla would let them touch these nonsense you called presents? Why do I think you don't know the personality of your ex girlfriend? Oh well, you knew her when she was poor but I owned her now that she's wealthy and classical…" Justin ridiculed him further. Mirabel was so furious that she felt like choking life out of the bastard. He was Camilla's boyfriend and she didn't know it. Looks like they played their cards well. Rodrigo grinned and asked "do you have anything else to say or that's all?" He obviously didn't get moved by his stupidity. That statement got Justin furious. He expected him to be jealous and grow angry but he didn't. Rather he grinned. Who the heck does he think he is to make him feel so unrea
Camilla stared at her furiously and temporarily she was rendered speechless. Mirabel was right, her kids were also Rodrigo's kids. She was their Aunt and no matter how hard she tried to pretend about that truth, the reality is that they are related. "I am their mother and that's all that matters. I refuse to acknowledge Rodrigo as their father and that implies that you share no relationship with them. I want you to stay away from my kids. As East is far apart from West, so stay far away from them. I don't want you to utter such nonsense before me ever again" Camilla thundered, she really was looking angry. Mira sighed and chuckled aloud "no matter how hard you shut the name Rodrigo out of their lives, you can never shut it out of their gene and blood stream" Mira declared and walked past Camilla out of the door. Camilla sighed softly. She knew Mirabel was right in every word she spoke. But how can she let him share her kids after calling her a whore and a play thing?
