M.I N.E endless Love

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 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 you think as if 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 rediculed 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 unreasonable or make him appear stupid?

“No, there’s something else I need to talk to you about. This is serious and I felt you should know your strength and the level of your weakness.

Your ex girlfriend and the mother of your kids is my girlfriend now. And I will be taking her kids, invariably your kids as well as mine soon by adoption when I marry their mother.

Camilla and I Never seemed to have enough of each other. So, we decided to get married and enjoy our lives together as couple.

I had always thought you are a lion in bed until I took over your woman. She said I make her comfortable than you. You are so weak and cannot even satisfy a woman in bed.

But I fuck her better than you, absorbing every moan from her and treating her like a woman…”Justin was still ranting.

Rodrigo’s countenance had changed but he didn’t know. He kept on humiliating Rodrigo when the latter got to the peak of his displeasure.

No one noticed his clenched fist. Mirabel was fuming in range and didn’t take note as well. Suddenly, they saw a swift movement from Rodrigo and next they saw his fist landed on Justin’s lower jaw.

Justin staggered backwards and almost fell down. He lost balanced and the pain he felt was like someone had hits him with a rod.

Next he discovered wetness running down from his lips, he looked and saw blood covered the hand he had used to touch his burning jaw.

He spat and it was blood. A lost a tooth and realised if Rodrigo hits him for a second time, he would pass out and he screamed, “somebody help me”

Hearing such scream, the securities ran over just as everyone inside the Mansion came out hurriedly. Camilla instructed the maids to look after the celebrants as she rushed out herself.

She was surprised when she saw Rodrigo and his sister, Joel and Justin. But the latter was bleeding. She looked towards Rodrigo and saw his eyes reddened.

Jared came over and helped Justin to a seat. He should be taken to the hospital quickly. “Call the chauffeur Camilla, we need to take him to the hospital”

“Not so quick Jared” Camilla replied, walked over to Rodrigo and looked back at her friend who saved her life when Rodrigo was determined to drive her to her death.

Camilla’s parents and Sara were surprised too. Luke was standing behind his parents, hugging his wife by her waist.

It now appeared only Rodrigo, Mirabel and Joel was son one side and the other people were on the other side.

“Who did this to you Justin?” Camilla asked and before the latter could say a word, Rodrigo answered for him “I did”

Camilla’s appearance changed as she glared at Rodrigo like she was going to tear him apart.

Jared knew there was going to be a drama if Camilla starts her own actions. He came and stood between Camilla and Rodrigo.

“Please, let’s take Justin to the hospital. If you have anything to say, reserve it yet please, Camilla” Jared pleaded but Camilla yelled at him to get out of her way.

“You bastard, you dare have the effontery to walk into my house to hurt my friend. Who said you could come in here?”Camilla thundered.

“He could come in here because he is Jade and Jude’s father. Besides he is my brother. So I don’t expect you to ask him that question” Mirabel answered.

“Don’t you interfere when I am talking except I invite you. The next time you talk uninvited, that day will be the end of your stay in this house”Camilla declared, passing Mira a menacing stare.

Mirabel wanted to respoond but Rodrigo raised his hand and she shut up. Rodrigo just stood, staring at the woman in front of him. Is this woman looking so ferociously at him his dear Camilla or someone else has exchanged her body?

“Who gave you the right to come into my house? This is my abode and not your stinking Manson where you see yourself as the almighty one” Camilla demanded again.

Rodrigo remained expressionless “You can’t keep my kids away from me forever. I hope you that and I want you to know that I come whenever I like to see them if I want to” Rodrigo replied.

Next was a slap across Rodrigo’s face. “Kids, you really have kids with me? You think too highly of yourself Rodrigo Campbell.

You are not the father of my kids because you not even a man. Maybe you don’t know that you are impotent. Are you capable of making a woman pregnant?

You are the worst of men in bed and you come before me to talk about having kids? You are so useless and less than being called a man.

My kids don’t belong to you. You are not their father and let this stick into your damn empty skull. The next time I see you around this house, I will have you arrested and….” Camilla was saying when Jared yelled at her.

“Enough Camilla! This is too much for you. How could you talk to Rodrigo like this? You dare to disgrace him openly because he hits Justin?”

“I will do it over and over again. He is not a man, he can’t even have sex with a woman, he can’t impregnate a woman and can never be the father of my kids. You hear that Jared and everyone present and including you bastard!” Camilla yelled, pulling his shirt and spitting on his face.

Sara pulled Camilla backwards. Rodrigo couldn’t process her words yet. They were too much for him to absorb and analyse yet.

She glared at Justin who seemed satisfied with Camilla’s words and then at Camilla when Rodrigo just turned and got into his car.

Joel paused, stared at Camilla and shook his head. He got into the car and drove off.

“Are you crazy Camilla?”, “How can you talk to a man like that?” H3r parents spoke at the same time. This is the height of humiliation for any man.

Sara ordered one of the chauffeur to drive Justin to the hospital. Someone needs to talk to Camilla.

“How can you talk to my brother like that? You destroyed him completely tonight Camilla. I thought you used to love him when you were both dating.

You know he is the father of your kids and you humiliated him. You are not a woman any one should count on. You are mean, you want to drive him to sucide right?

You crushed him with your car and we didn’t take any action against you. Now you want him dead by his own hands. This is the height of disgrace and humiliation Camilla.

Hasn’t Rodrigo ever done anything good to you before? If yes, why do you soon forget good old days, the pleasant memories of the past and only remembers the ugly past.

I hate you. I cursed the day I looked forward to meeting you as my brother’s girlfriend. He once told me you are the sweetest woman he had ever met.

But he was wrong. You have not only insulted Rodrigo but my entire family, my family dynasty. And for this, I will never Forgive you in the life”Mirabel said, her tears running down her cheeks.

She ran inside and Sara went after her. She soon dashed out with her car keys “I’m leaving Jared and I will never Return. My brother’s emotion matters to me more than my love for you” she said

“Not so quick, I am leaving as well” the couple got into Mirabel’s car and before everyone else, they drove off.

Jared was on the steering. He doesn’t know what has come over Camilla. She isn’t different from Rodrigo of the past. She had taken over the ruthless Acts that Rodrigo left behind.

Not caring how hurt the other fellow would be. Once her ego is satisfied, nothing else mattered. She had gotten to the climax of it all.

Sara was th first who walked past Camilla and went straight to her rooms. No one need to announce that the party was over. It automatically came to an end.

“You can’t talk to a man like this Camilla, especially the one who happens to be the father of your kids. You trampled upon him too much and if I am the one, I will never take it from an ex” Luke reprimanded her.

He had been married with Katie for a while now and Katie hadn’t been Pregnant yet. If someone out there calls him impotent will be able to take it despite the fact that there was no child to proof otherwise.

Let alone if Katie herself accuses him of being able to get her Pregnant. How will he feel? But in this case, the fellow isn’t impotent atleast anyone can see it from the kids Camilla has.

What baffled him the most was that he didn’t say a word to her. He simply went away. That level of temperance was what he wished and prayed for. Rodrigo is a perfect gentleman.

“Today you have crossed every limits and I don’t know if you will ever be able to undo what you’ve just done. If you have to say something so indispicable about someone you once loved, it shouldn’t be such foul words.

I feel ashamed of you. It was never known that any member of Anderson’s family has ever been so reckless with their mouths.

The words you uttered was like a shard two edged dagger, piercing through the heart of the young man. It was more painful that the sting of a scorpion.

You left him heartbroken and devastated. He went away with a bleeding heart. A bleeding flesh was easy to cure and healed than a bleeding heart.

You don’t know the extent of damage those utterances have caused on him and his self worth and esteem. You have brought us low, the entire family and I don’t know where to hide my face..” Steve Anderson rebuked her.

Her parents walked past her and Luke and his wife did same. Camilla alone was left outside, Confused and full of remorse.

A while ago, there was a little crowd around her and the next minute, shexwas alone, standing in the cold.

The wind suddenly started blowing. She sniffled and folded her arms. Was the wind blowing away the last bit of love that she and Rodrigo have left for each other?

Jared and Mira left, her parents reprimanded her, Luke and Sara condemned her actions and words and most importantly, her conscience declared her guilty.

Why couldn’t she just keep her composure whenever she sees Rodrigo. Rather than the excitement she feels in the past when she sees him, it is bitterness and fury that overcome her emotions.

She sobbed silently in the dark. The winds would dry her tears off. What really happened? Rodrigo wouldn’t hit Justin if there was no reason.

Rodrigo would hardly talk when he is furious. If he does, he would go overboard with his words. But his fist was often ready to act.

She should have asked him what happened or asked Justin. She has only humiliated the man she loved and still loves.

Justin Swaras’ bleeding stopped and he was given some analgesics. The doctor advised that is broken toothe be completely removed and replaced with an artificial one.

It didn’t take Justin quite a hour and he was done. But he was going to deal with Rodrigo for his tooth.

He had made him lose natural part in himself and got an artificial in it’s place. He will so much have him rediculed and humiliated in the entire city.

Camilla’s words really made him feel excited. He had thought she was going to inquire from him what led to Rodrigo raising his fist on him.

But she didn’t. She already believed him to do the right and he took advantage of the situation and played the victim. Now, he was going to use Camilla to ruin him completely.

While Justin was incubating his plot, waiting for dawn to hatch them, Rodrigo was seated in a bar.

His phone has been ringing and he knew what was Mirabel and Jared calling, he didn’t answer the phone. They probably were worried about him.

But he wished he could see them and waved at them not to get worried or bothered about him, he will be fine. He sure know that he will be fine.

It’s over now. He definitely have paid for his errors before Camilla and added a bonus. He had being humiliated enough and he would now rest.

He drank from the alcohol in front of him and put fire to his cigarettes. He smokes only when he feels depressed and down. He needed something to keep himself busy with.

“President Campbell, I think you should answer your phone. Your sister is dead sick about you and that is not good for her condition” Joel coaxed.

Rodrigo thought about it and didn’t say anything. Joel was right. Mira was pregnant and shouldn’t get unnecessarily worried about him.

He called her back “Brother, where are you? Jared and I have looked everywhere for you. Are you alright? Tell me where you are and we will come right away” Mirabel’s voice came from the other end as soon as the call came through.

Rodrigo chuckled. Mira’s words sounded like a faint light in a dark alley. At least there was someone out there who looked out for him.

But her questions, which one should he answer first. They came in succession that she didn’t allow him to answer one before asking another.

“Rodrigo, where are you?” This time it was Jared’s voice. He probably must have snatched the phone from his wife to talk to him.

“I am fine, Jared. I am just chilling somewhere in the club. But you guys don’t need to worry about me…”Rodrigo answered simply.

Somehow that seemed to calm the couple. They asked the particular place he was chilling and Rodrigo said he doesn’t want to be disturbed.

Jared and Mira then decided to spend the night in a hotel. They don’t want to return to the Mansion they came from. Camilla was making home a place that doesn’t interest anyone.

Next morning, Rodrigo was awakened by the ringing from his phone. He came home drunk late and drunk the previous night and was surprised when he saw the caller ID was his grandfather.

They hadn’t spoken in a few weeks. And the last time he visited the glass house, he had told them until he find Camilla, he wasn’t going to step his foot in that house.

He had kept to his words since then. Although at the moment, he was removing every barrier and returning to his life before he met Camilla.

He sat upright and answered his phone “good morning grandfather” Rodrigo said robbing his face from sleepiness. The hangover that morning was severe.

“The next generation of the Campbell lies on your shoulders. Why didn’t you say it that you were impotent?” Larry Campbell asked, the old man’s voice was shaking.

“What?” Rodrigo was surprised. Impotent? Who’s saying that nonsense this morning? He just made up his mind to forget Camilla’s stupidity, but he definitely wouldn’t accept it if anyone says that to me.

“It’s everywhere on the internet and comments were already counting in their thousands…”Larry Campbell was pouring out his disactisfaction on his grandson. Why was all these happening to him.

“On the internet?” Rodrigo asked a ryhtorical question. He hang up immediately and went online. The video was clear and Camilla’s voice was distinct, repeating the same rubbish of the previous day.

His face was visible. Everyone recognised him and Camilla as well. He looked at it and listened to it over and over.

Who could have done this?

“I swear I didn’t do this? Why would I take this kind of video viral?” Camilla was defending herself. She might have insulted him the previous day but he cannot humiliate him in the public.

“If you can say it before us all, you could as well take it viral. I don’t believe you at all Camilla. You have punished Rodrigo too much and now, I am beginning to wonder if you are the same girl o raised!” Sara yelled on her.

Camilla’s eyes went moist. She didn’t do it but who’s going to believe her now? Everyone already assume she could go that length to destroy Rodrigo.

“For everything he did, he apologised publicly. His grandfather did the same and the government waved the punishment off. Everyone knew they accepted to be wrong and despite the prestigious family name, they came out to apologise.

His grandfather agreed to compensate us. Rodrigo himself compensated us but we refused to accept anything from them because what matters to us was that you were saved. Why taking so much revenge on him?” Sara asked, forcing back her tears and sniffling.

This price was too much for Rodrigo to pay for a single sin. Was he wrong to have fallen in love with Camilla? This was too much from Camilla.

Wealth and affluence has shown Camilla’s true nature. She was not like this when she was poor. But now, she’s a different person, that sweetness was gone and brutality has come in it’s place.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
