M.I N.E endless Love

That night in City B, Rodrigo couldn’t sleep. It was great to see Camilla again. Though from a distance, he felt his entire being happy and excited at the sight of her.

She’s more beautiful than the last time he saw her. He had thought he would take his time, but it appeared he might not be able to wait any longer.

He must find her the next day. Somehow, he must find her. He wants to right his wrongs before her. He wants her to forgive him.

If she can forgive him, every other thing will fall into place. He knew her to have a golden heart. She would forgive him if he apologised and tell her how sorry he was about what he’s done to her.

He wants his girl back. Camilla is his woman and he wants her back. He had come to City B solely because of her. Using the company as an excuse to come over to this country was just a camouflage.

His main purpose of coming was because of Camilla and his kids. He longs to hold them in his arms and cuddle them. Wants them to learn to call him father.

He was happy, he drank a little before going to his study to do some work. But he couldn’t concentrate. His heart was filled with love and happiness.

Camilla was alive. That is exactly what he wished for, that she should stay alive. It is only while being alive that he can be sure of seeing her again.

Rodrigo ended up unable to do anything that night. When he woke up that morning, he was filled with a mixture of joy and sadness.

He really doesn’t understand his dreams. At a time he found himself rejected and pushed off by Camilla. But then, he saw that she embraced him again.

What was the meaning of that? Will Camilla refuse to forgive him so easily? She loves him, she said she loves him forever. Will she throw him off and not accept his apologies?

Camilla was on her way to the prison to meet Ambrose Kelvin. He had asked that he wants to see Camilla and she’s off to see him.

She hopes he doesn’t say silly words to her. Every examination done on him had revealed that he’s fine. He has no history of amnesia like he claimed.

That made everyone believed that he was the same person as Ambrose Kelvin like Camilla had claimed. His wife and daughter were being taken away from him and she doesn’t know where they were kept.

That did not freak her. Whatever happened to his wife was the punishment for being married to a criminal. She would see that he paid for everything he had done to her and her family.

As she was asked to wait while the warder went to fetch Ambrose Kelvin, Camilla remembered her life as a prisoner.

Rodrigo blocked her off from seeing anyone. Her family wasn’t allowed to see her and no one ever came to check on her.

He did that because he was the richest billionaire and no one could confront him or say no. He thought he ruled the whole world.

He used the power of wealth to torture her. He could do and undo anything because he had the money. He really hurt her and her babies back then.

How will he feel when he finds her again? When he realised that his wealth was nothing compared to her parent’s abundance?

Where will he hide his face when he sees her again? He already knew the truth that she was innocent. Jared had told her he came to them and apologised, telling them he would find her.

She wants to meet him again and look into those eyes of his and declare how much she hates him. She would never forgive him for not trusting her.

For getting entangled with that bitch Emma Martins. She would never forgive him. As for the kids, he will never have a right over them.

Those kids were the most important thing that Rodrigo would ever crave for, but she would deny him from getting close to them and identifying as their father.

Camilla’s eyes had become moist, and she quickly took a tissue and cleaned the tears threatening to find their way down her cheeks.

She composed herself and just then, Ambrose Kelvin was brought out in handcuffs. He sat across from Camilla, they both separated by a glass wall.

Camilla was staring at him with hostility but the other fellow had eyes full of guilt. His conscience was already condemning him and he knew he was paying for his sins.

He took the telephone and Camilla did. Before he could say anything, Camilla said “You wanted to talk to me you demon, just get to it already” she cursed him.

Ambrose Kelvin sighed. The young lady is still with him. But she has every right to be mad and angry with her

She was nobody back then and everyone mocked her. She was said to have no identity and her parents were not known.

Sara Dickson wasn’t her real mother and everyone knows it. She was poor alongside her foster family. If he had a glimpse of her real identity, he never would have agreed to do something so mischievous.

No matter how much Ella and her daughter promised, he wouldn’t have done it. But now, Karma has caught up with him and his wife and daughter are paying for his sins as well.

“Have you suddenly gone dumb?” Camilla yelled at him and Ambrose Kelvin came back to his senses. He had sent for Camilla and she was seated before him.

“I’m sorry my lady..” Ambrose Kelvin said when he was suddenly interrupted by Camilla “don’t you dare address me like that you bastard!”

“I’m sorry ma’am” Ambrose Kelvin said. She had become a ‘ma’am’ to him. She is the young lady of Anderson’s family, his employers.

“I have asked you to come over because I have a bargain to make with you. I need you to help me while I help you get Revenge on those who made you stumble” Ambrose Kelvin.

Camilla gives a mischievous grin. He now wants to strike a deal with her? A prisoner who is at her Mercy wants to strike a deal with her?

“What right do you have to make a deal with me? Have you forgotten that I own your life now?. I went to jail for murdering you. So if I murder you now, I had already served the punishment.

You are at my Mercy and therefore have no right to make a deal with me” Camilla declared, gazing at him as if she would tear him apart with her eyes.

“If you think murdering me for real will bring you any gain, then go ahead. But I think I can help you with all the evidence you need to nail those bad People and in exchange, you spare my wife and daughter” Ambrose Kelvin proposed.

Camilla chuckled aloud “so, you know you have a wife and a daughter? Why didn’t you think about them when you faked your death and made me go to jail?

You connived with those who hired you to ruin my life. Then, you were still having your wife and daughter. If I hadn’t seen you here, you wouldn’t have minded if I rot in jail.

And now, you have the effrontery to tell me I should spare your wife and daughter? Why didn’t you think about them before when you went into criminality?”Camilla asked.

When he sold his conscience to do her evil, he didn’t consider that she’s got a mother and brother who would miss her so much when she went to jail.

He took on a new identity and relocated to City B. Now, he knows the importance of having a family and can now bargain with her because of his wife and daughter?

Why can’t some people be reasonable for once? They shut out the part of feeling when they want to hurt others but knows how to go emotional when it concerns them and their families.

If her brother hadn’t come to rescue her, she would have died already. She would have been forgotten and he never would face the law for his criminal act.

He doesn’t care what happened to her after what he did. He cared only for money and his family. But fate smiled on her and she’s alive today.

“I’m sorry ma’am. I regretted everything I did back then. I am only asking that you pardon me” Ambrose Kelvin pleaded.

He really doesn’t know what he now gained. The money that Ella paid him through her daughter was finished. He changed his identity and relocated from his home country.

No single day has passed that he doesn’t show fear of being recognized. That is exactly what happened. His fears had become real.

“Sorry after you kidnapped my brother and mother and you tortured them. Sorry when you requested that I should shot you so that you can pretend to be dead. Do you mean sorry after doing so much evil?

I went to jail Ambrose Kelvin for a crime I never committed. I lost my man because of the lies and the cook up stories you made up with your co- conspirators?

I lost the man I love the most in my life, Rodrigo Campbell, your own boss. We were both employed by the same company and you did that to me?

What did I ever do to you? Why did you hate me so much to send me to jail…”Camilla couldn’t continue talking when she dropped the phone and stood up in tears hurriedly walking away.

Her bodyguard saw her approaching with teary eyes and he quickly held the door for her to slide in. He shit the door and Camilla sobbed profusely.

Every one of them will pay for all they have caused her. She will ensure that suffer like she suffered. They will shed tears like she was shedding now.

Her sobbing was loud. She couldn’t calm herself. She lost Rodrigo because of it. She went to jail and now she doesn’t believe in love anymore.

Camilla spent some few minutes, sobbing profusely before ordering the chauffeur to drive. They all will pay for everything she went through.

She already confirmed that Ella and her daughter Emma Martins were responsible for all that happened. And Rodrigo’s mother was part of the plot that destroyed her.

Ambrose Kelvin was taken back to prison. For the first time since he was locked up and confined, he felt so much guilt on him like a bag of sand was placed on his shoulders.

He really had wounded Camilla. He did evil and now the evil returned to him and he knew how much she had suffered. This is law of Karma and he cannot escape it.

His wife and daughter will forever remain at Camilla’s mercy. He wished he didn’t expose his family to their present predicament.

He wished he can see her and apologise to her. He never knew things would take a different twist like it did. Hecwished he hadn’t done so much evil.

He would have wished that Camilla spare her and she should return to City A. At least her parents were still alive and she would return to be united with her family again.

He was already caught as an imposter and has been jailed. There was nothing to be hidden about it again. But Miss Camilla will never forgive him nor grant him his request.

Rodrigo looked cute and charming in his designers suite. Naturally, Rodrigo is a handsome and charming. His looks were enchanting and his smile was contagious.

But he rarely smile. The only person capable of making him smile and laugh was Camilla. Besides her, nothing seemed capable enough to amuse him.

He arrived the company and few hours later, he decided to go to the Anderson’s cooperation to see Eduardo.

When he arrived, he saw the sky scrapper which is the location of the company. Rodrigo marvelled and knew that wealth has his own way of speaking.

From the outward look, he can tell that it was larger than the Campbell’s group. He took the elevator to the receptionist office and demand to see Eduardo Anderson.

The receptionist was amazed at the Rodrigo’s handsomeness. She stood spellbound by his cuteness. She faxed at him from his eyes down to his feet.

His V- shaped jaw line and his thin pinkish lips already makes her feel horny. His dark thick hair was styled with a cut by the sides.

Joel had come along and he could see through the receptionist’s eyes. She was carried away already at Rodrigo’s looks.

She ought to concentrate on her doing her job perfectly and not to have a crush at first sight. If this was where Rodrigo’s rule, she already would have lost her job.

“Hey” Rodrigo waved a finger at her face. What kind of a receptionist was this? Is this how she gets lost when she sees cute and handsome men?

If he has his way, and if this were to be the Campbell’s group, she would have been certain that she will get fired. Such an irresponsible attitude by a receptionist.

“Yeah, sure… hmm” the receptionist stammered. She looked embarrassed and quickly looked at the computer in front of her, moving backwards a strand of hair on her face.

“Sure what?”Joel asked, feeling irritated by the lose of composure on the part of the receptionist. This is a great company, how can they keep someone incompetent at the reception. This was giving a wrong impression already.

“Is he expecting you..?” The receptionist asked and before Joel could say yes or no, Rodrigo spoke in his dommeering hoarse voice “is he in?”

” Yes, take the elevator by the left to the grand flour” she replied quickly. Rodrigo’s voice was full of an aura she best can describe as compressing aura.

Without another word, Rodrigo walked ahead and Joel closely behind. They got into the elevator and it closed on them.

“You have a lot of admirers boss” Joel teased and chuckled aloud. It has always been like that. He was used to seeing women crushing on Rodrigo.

“I don’t see them except Camilla”Rodrigo replied simply. He can’t help it but all he knows and cares about is Camilla. Her love meant the world to him.

The elevator opened and they both walked out. But no one would meet Rodrigo for the first time and will not admire him. His handsome and charming.

Besides his attractive looks, he has the aura that intimidates. A compressing and dominating physigue.

The secretary welcomed him and wanted to ask if he has an appointment with the President when Rodrigo said “President Anderson is in right?” He asked and like a robot, the secretary nodded and pointed to the office.

Rodrigo nodded with an expressionless face and went in. Joel stood out and then decided to wait downstairs. He took the elevator and went back to join the bodyguards.

Eduardo was shutting down the computer to go for lunch with his sister. He doesn’t know what is wrong with her but she wasn’t present at the conference meeting with managers that morning.

She hasn’t come to see him as well. He would just get to her office and ask her to accompany him to lunch.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Just then the door opened and he raised his head to see who walked in and he came face to face with the face of a man he least expected to see in his office.

Rodrigo shut the door and took few strides to get closer to Eduardo’s presence. He looked at the office furnishings and saw it splendid.

The office temperature was chilling and smells good. He pretended not to notice the glamorous decorations of the President’s office and looked at the man behind the desk.

Their eyes locked and Rodrigo drew closer “Sorry to berge into your office President Anderson. I am…” he was going to introduce himself when Eduardo beat him to it.

“Rodrigo Campbell” Eduardo completed his statement. If he doesn’t know anyone’s name and looks, he would never make the mistake of not recognising his nephew’s father.

His nephew Jude was a spitting image of the man standing before him. Jade was purely Camilla’s little look alike but Jude, this is a bigger version of him standing in his office.

“Hmmm”Rodrigo sighed. He knew him already. But the ‘how’ that he knows him might not be a pleasant one. He then knew he has to be careful with Eduardo if he is really Camilla’s brother.

The semblance between him and Camilla cannot be mistaken. Looking at him it is easy to conclude that he is sibling to her.

“May I know why you are here, President Campbell,?” Eduardo asked, standing up and walking over from behind his desk. He was supposed to offer him a seat or a friendly welcome, but somehow, he wasn’t interested.

“Aren’t you going to offer me a seat,?” Rodrigo asked and as simply as gw had asked, he received a response “No”. He cannot offer him a seat, and there was no explanation he would give to that.

“I don’t think, it is suitable for two presidents to talk business while standing. So I would love to be offered a seat first” Rodrigo objected, he wants to make a friend out of Eduardo but it appeared he already disliked him.

“You won’t sit down here. This is my office and my territory not yours. You can decide what happens in your world, but you can’t dictate here.

So your either go straight to why you visited impromptu or you fuck off”Eduardo declared. He was the one who made Camilla suffered so much unfortunate fate and watched her go to prison.

He made his sister not to believe in love anymore and she is now a single mom with his two kids. He wondered when he arrived in City B.

Rodrigo stared at Eduardo briefly. The fellow was not interested in mutual talk with him. He knows he was Camilla’s boyfriend. He probably hates him for what he had done to his sister.

He looked around briefly and saw Eduardo’s picture on his desk. Himself, wife and daughter. They looked Happy together and he wished he could be with his daughter too.

“You have a beautiful family?” Rodrigo said and Eduardo felt his voice was full of emotions. But then he doesn’t want to talk with him just yet.

“If you don’t have a reason for coming here, please get out, I don’t want my…” Eduardo was saying when the door opened and Camilla walked in.

She raised her head and looked and then… surprise, puzzle and shock at who stood with her brother.

She squinted. Her heart was beating fast and she felt her knees were going to be weak. She was visibly shivering and her facial expression changed into a hostile one.

She had not been happy the entire day after going to see Ambrose Kelvin. She had been moody and now, meeting the last person she ever thought she would see.

The feeling of hatred, pain, betrayal and bad-mouthing came back to her memory. The things Rodrigo said, from the time he came to find her and called her a low life to the words he said about her being a whore and a plaything he uses to satisfy his sexual desires to the pictures where he kissed Emma.

Those memories flushed into her mind and she felt as if it just happened. The only difference now is that he looked different in his looks and that arrogant way he stared at her back then was no more there.

“Ca… mi.. lla!” It was supposed to be a whisper but Eduardo and Camilla heard it. Rodrigo just stared at her with a guilty conscience. This is Camilla. She works here with her brother?

He wasn’t prepared yet to meet her. He knew he had hurt her much more than he had imagined. It was too difficult to find any other means to atone for his errors before her.

His eyes lingered on her attractive body and down to her belly. She was pregnant with his child, not child but children if what Jared said was true.

Within a few seconds, a lot had run through Rodrigo and Camilla’s mind independently. They both stared at each other and Eduardo glanced from the one to the other and sighed.

He doesn’t know what was going on in the minds of them both. But definitely knows they were going to part angrily.

“My love”Rodrigo said, turned and wanted to walk towards Camilla. But she suddenly looked away and pretended not to notice or see Rodrigo.

“I have being feeling unhappy. Thought you would be interested in going for lunch” she inquired, walking over to Eduardo and placing her hand across his shoulder.

“Yeah, I was going to come over when Rodrigo arrived,” Eduardo replied. Surprised Camilla’s composure. She treated Rodrigo like air.

“Will be waiting for you in the car. Don’t keep me waiting long” Camilla declared and turned, walking towards the door when Rodrigo walked to her quickly and held her wrist.

I’m sure Rodrigo would never forget that experience for the rest of his life. He least expected the suddetturn in attitude that Camilla displayed.

As quickly as a lightning, Camilla turned and slapped Rodrigo across the face. Her pain and betrayal were laid in that single slap.

Rodrigo felt loud noise in his ear. He almost staggered backwards as he never expected himself to be slapped. He can’t remember ever being slapped in his life, besides Emma’s slap when he left her waiting on their supposed wedding day.

He felt her pain in that slap. His chin was burning him hot and without being told, he can imagined how his complexion had changed.

Eduardo was shocked. Camilla slapped her babies father? It was loud and he knew it was burning considering how reddish Rodrigo’s chin have become.

Such a cute, handsome dude slapped by a woman. He glanced at his puzzled face and saw him still looking expressionless. But the marks of Camilla’s fingers were printed on his chin.

Eduardo wanted to intervene when Camilla let lose her anger “Are you crazy Rodrigo Campbell or what? Who the fuck do you think you are to lay those filthy fingers of yours on me?

I am trying hard to ignore you but yet you make yourself noticeable like an estranged dog that you truly are. Don’t you dare come an inch closer to me again, bastard”Camilla yelled.

Eduardo sighed. It’s been over two years now and Camilla still feel so hurt about what Rodrigo did to her. He doesn’t know how to come in and calm her.

“I know I have hurt you Camilla. But I came here because of you to apologise for my errors and inhuman acts towards you….”Rodrigo was saying when Camilla interrupted him.

“Who asked you for it? Who is seeking for your apologies? Who gave you the effontery to walk through that entrance into this company?

Do you think this is your little peasant company where criminals go in and out without being checked? Now, you listen very careful to me, the next time you bring your miserable stinking self here, you wouldn’t know how far I will go to ruin you” Camilla thundered and her eyes, spitting fire.

Rodrigo raised his hand to explain and brought it down again. What can he say, he could call his company little and peasant. Well, maybe that’s true, compared to this present company.

“I’m sorry my love. I want you to forgive me for everything I did to you. I went everywhere searching for you, but I didn’t find you..”Rodrigo was saying and went down on a knee.

Camilla was surprised that he kneeled down to beg her. But what is that to her. She is not interested in whatever posture he takes to beg her. If he likes, he could raised his legs up and his head down for all she cares.

Eduardo was already feeling that Camilla should forgive him. If he came to City B because of her and to seek her forgiveness, he felt he should be forgiven.

Besides, he said he looked everywhere for her. Perhaps he didn’t find her and came over as soon as he learnt that she is in City B.

“I don’t care where you went, in search of your Camilla. But Camilla Dickson is dead. Go and look for her because this Camilla standing before you is Anderson.

You disgustes me and don’t you ever bring your miserable self before me, you stinking man-whore” Camilla sneered and eyed him before lackadaisically walked out.

Rodrigo stood spellbound. Is this Camilla Dickson he used to know? She’s turned into someone else that he hasn’t met before.

As she walked out, Rodrigo turned and glanced at Eduardo. The latter didn’t say anything but stared at him without a hint of pity for him.

He didn’t say anything else, but walked out. He used the elevator and when he arrived at the down flour, he saw Camilla walking into her car, surrounded by bodyguards.

Just then, she paused and turned back to lock eyes with Rodrigo. She eyed him and hissed before sliding into the car.

As soon she she sat down and the door shut, she sighed and placed her hand on her chest. Why does she feel this way about him?

In her heart, she felt like throwing herself in his arms and let him cuddle her like he used to do. He such a romantic guy.

She watched him as he walked with his shoulder high and his head raised, a typical image of his arrogant self.

His bodyguards held the door for him and he got in. All Camilla was watching and didn’t know when Eduardo got to the car and got in.

Eduardo saw her still staring at Rodrigo’s car as it zoomed off. The car was started and the siblings were quiet for a while.

Suddenly, Eduardo broke the silence “That slap shouldn’t have been”he said simply and didn’t look at her direction. Camilla didn’t say anything but looked away, to hide her teary eyes.
