M.I N.E endless Love

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.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

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?” Camilla asked, Wondering the kind of friend that would do so much meanness to his friend.

“Yeah, why do you ask?” Justin inquired. The action Camilla just put up implies that she was mad with him. This has nothing to do with Rodrigo like he thought.

“How could you disrespect me this much, how come you told Rodrigo that we are dating and having affairs? I can’t remember ever having such unfilial thoughts crossed my mind.

You said something about you and I dating and I politely told you nothing of such could ever happen. And since then, we have remained friends.

You told Rodrigo you’ve been sleeping with me and you fuck me better than him? This is too much Justin and I will never Forgive you for that” Camilla yelled, reprimanding him.

And to think that she Humiliated Rodrigo that same day because of him was too much for her to bear. No matter what happened between herself and Rodrigo, she shouldn’t have sided with another man against him.

Just a few minutes ago, she succeeded in pressuring Jared to tell her who was behind the scandal and it was still Justin Swaras.

It appeared the fellow was ready to tear her and Rodrigo apart for real. He went to such an extent to dehumanise Rodrigo just to make him farther away from her.

She never could have imagined her friendship with Justin was going to go so weird. Her tears ran down her cheeks freely and she started having hiccups.

Justin saw the disappointment, anger and sadness in Camilla’s face and he suddenly felt a burden of guilt on his conscience.

He looked away, deliberately avoiding her gaze. Perhaps he went this extreme, not to hurt her but Rodrigo. But he forgot to realise that hurting Rodrigo would hurt her too.

“I hate you now Justin!” Camilla declared and turned from him. As she almost stepped out of the door, Justin caught up with her and pulled her back into a forced embrace.

“I’m sorry Camilla. It wasn’t you I targeted, it was Rodrigo. He threatened to deal with me if I don’t stay away from you. Hence I sought every opportunity to taunt him…” Justin was explaining when Camilla forcefully pushed him off.

“Don’t you ever lay your filthy hands on me again. You wanted to hurt Rodrigo and scandalise him? How can you do that to him?

No one has the right to disrespect Rodrigo because of me except I alone. Rodrigo is mine and till my seventh life, he will be mine alone.

What you did has severed our friendship. I don’t ever want to have anything to do with you ever again”Camilla bellowed.

She walked out of the house and got into her car. As soon as she shut the door, she took out a tissue and cleaned her tears. She sighed and started the ignition.

Through her way home, Camilla kept blaming herself why she did what she did. She should at least listen to Rodrigo first before jumping into conclusion.

She must find him the next morning. She has to take the first step now towards reconciliation. When Rodrigo took the ninety nine steps towards her, she pushed him down the gallow.

All she needed to do was just take the one step and everything would have been fine. But she didn’t. She must go and find him.

When she arrived home, shexwas still restless. She decided to diall Rodrigo’s cell phone number but what she got was an automated response, Rodrigo would call her back when he gets back.

She waited all night but didn’t receive Rodrigo’s call. Eventually she dozed off. When she woke up the next morning, she took her phone to check if she missed Rodrigo’s call, but there was no missed call.

She felt a little disappointed. Didn’t Rodrigo see her missed call? She decided to call back immediately. This time the phone rang but it wasn’t answered.

By the time she called again, her cell phone number had been blocked. Camilla felt moody the more. Rodrigo is still angry with her.

She won’t let what Jared said come true, that Rodrigo doesn’t feel like getting back with her. She must see him and explain everything that happened.

Justin lied, he only played with his emotions. She hasn’t gotten involved with anyone else all the period they were not together.

While Camilla was brooding over the fact that she couldn’t reach Rodrigo, Justin was calling her. She saw his call and ignored it.

She stood up and went to have a bath, got dressed and was going to leave to find Rodrigo in his office when Justin arrived.

Seeing Justin, she frowned and didn’t pay him any attention when Justin clasp his hands before her, pleading with her to forgive him.

He insisted he didn’t mean to hurt her. But he was wrong to hurt the man she loves. He volunteered to accompany Camilla to Rodrigo’s office and apologise to him.

Camilla was partly pacified but she said until Rodrigo let go, she still doesn’t think they can ever be friends again.

Justin and Camilla then headed towards Campbell’s cooperation. When they arrived, many of the employees knew Camilla in the past.

They welcome her warmly. Back then, everyone knew she was the boss’ woman. Rodrigo pampered and doted on her before as many as cared to know.

But when things fell apart, they were also surprised how their sweet love suddenly went sour.

Camilla smiled and talked sweetly to those who still Accord her that respect like in the past, and others she ignored and treated them like air.

Camilla’s present look is glamorous. Her beauty and gracefulness were enchanting. She looked elegant like a high class lady that she truly has become.

When she arrived on the President floor, what happened a few years ago flashed through her memory. It was there, at that floor where her world with Rodrigo came crashing.

The insults, the humiliation and arrest and the unpleasant experiences that followed, all began from that floor. She sighed softly and looked at the seated secretary.

She sat on the chair she used to occupy. She was the closest to Rodrigo and knows when he goes out and comes in.

The secretary politely welcomed Camilla and Justin. She probably thinks they are a couple. She asked them what she can do for them.

Camilla said she was there to see the President and the secretary said he went on a trip the day before.

Hearing that Camilla felt a weakness coming from within her. How can she see him now and explain things to him when he has already travelled?

Justin observed the wave of unhappiness that suddenly dawned on Camilla and quickly asked the secretary when Rodrigo would be back.

She said no one knows how the President does his things. They should have called him or fixed an appointment with his assistant before coming over to the company.

Camilla thanked the secretary and turned, walking away without as much as beckoning to Justin. The latter had to hurry to catch up with her.

Camilla decided to go and see Mira. She told Justin she needed to visit a certain person. She got into her car and drove towards Jared and Mira’s house.

She almost arrived at the place but decided to get her some ice cream. For the few times they had stayed together, she knew Mira craved it a lot.

Perhaps, it’s pregnancy induced cravings. She also craves anything called nuts be it groundnut, oaths or even tiger nuts.

When she arrived at a supermarket, she was dazed by the woman coming out, holding a little boy in her hand. It’s obvious, he might be her grandson.

Within a few seconds, many thoughts have flown through Camilla’s mind. Ms Kimberly! She smiled. Her inmate in the cell. She knew how much support this woman was to her back then.

The time when she thought she would die, she saved her, helping her recover her composure, setting rules that are meant to favour her alone.

“Godmother”Camilla called at the same time Kimberly raised her head to see who seemed to be standing in her way.

Hearing that voice, she beamed with a smile, as she stood transfixed at a point. She never thought she would see her goddaughter again. She thought she was dead until Rodrigo contacted her one day and told her Camilla is fine and has found her family.

Seeing her now, her joy Knows no bounds. “Camilla my child” Kimberly finally brought herself to utter her name in an almost choking voice.

Before anyone could say jack, Camilla threw herself into Kimberly’s arms. Good enough that Kimberly’s son was right behind them, he picked up his son and let his mother hug her dear friend.

“I missed you godmother” Camilla said, now sobbing. She held Kimberly so tight as if afraid she was going to lose her.

“Oh Camilla, I missed you more, I was unhappy, I thought I was never going to see you in this life again…”Kimberly sob, her tears mixed with a smile of joy.

The two women finally let each other free from the hug. Kimberly pulled Camilla aside and cupped her face in her hands “I accused him of murdering you, I cursed him as well and said he would never get away from it.

He came to find me and told me he didn’t know anything about your disappearance. He said he loved you more than anything in this life and promised me that he would find him.

He would ensure that he brings you back and even if it was the last thing he did in this life, he must find you and bring you to me.

I’m glad you are fine, alive and more beautiful. Just recently, Rodrigo told me you are fine and have returned to City A. I was going to locate you from the address he gave me this weekend and now, I found you…”Kimberly went on pouring her mind and Camilla’s jaw was getting tired with her uninterrupted smile.

Camilla’s smile broadens. She asked that Kimberly pardon her for not coming to check on her. She doesn’t know how to find her because she doesn’t know her address nor her last name.

Kimberly said her departure from prison was so sudden and unforeseen hence she couldn’t say goodbye. Anyways, how’s Camilla’s baby doing?

When the latter told her it’s twins, Kimberly was happy. Those babies saw the light of the day eventually. She hugged Camilla again.

They agreed to see each other again and exchange addresses. As they parted, Kimberly added “Rodrigo loves you a lot. Don’t ever let him slip off your fingers”

Camilla nodded and smiled. As she got the ice cream and returned to her car, Kimberly’s parting words kept ringing in her heart.

She didn’t want him to slip off, but it appeared he had long slipped off her hands and she didn’t realise it. What can she do now?

The last person Mira ever expected to see in her home was Camilla. She was surprised when her sister walked through the door.

Had she come to continue her slashing from where she stopped? She was going to stay calm and listen to her. She’s really fed up with this woman, Camilla.

“How have you been Mirabel?” Camilla said, walking towards her and giving her a hug, next presented the ice cream to her.

Mirabel couldn’t answer her question. She was speechless and dazed. She looked behind her and wished she’s in the bedroom so she can look herself up in the mirror.

Does she appear different from the Mirabel she had known? She just stared at her and Camilla knew she was shocked hence, the ice cream cup seemed to want to fall off her hand.

“Mirabel, what now? I came to see you and brought you what you crave for the most. Are you going to stand and keep staring at me?” Camilla demanded.

“Please take a seat. Mirabel sat down too. Her belly, now round and big already. She put on a forced smile and thanked Camilla for the gift.

The two women sat quietly, no one was saying anything to the other just yet. Unable to be calm, Camilla broke the silence.

“Mira, I know I haven’t been the best sister-in-law to you. Can you please forgive me? Let’s begin afresh, our lives together as a family.

I’m equally sorry about how I treated Rodrigo in the past…” Camilla apologised.
