Jared walked in and saw Mirabel cleaning her tears and Rodrigo pouring himself a ss of wine. He hadn’t really stepped into Rodrigo’s sitting room.
But it’s so beautiful with arge portrait of Cami sitting on the shelf. He saw it and looked away. He now had herrge portrait hung in his sitting room but forgot to hang her love around his neck when he needed to.
“Why did you answer my phone when I went to the restroom?” Jared blurted out. His eyes were Popping out anger and fire.
That statement suddenly made Mirabel gain a kind of boldness that Jared never expected. Thetter almost concluded that it’s because shexwas before her brother.
Mirabel stood up and red at him “oh because it’s Cami? I shouldn’t have answered the phone because your dear sister was the one who called right?” She snapped at him.
Rodrigo’s hand which was taking wine to his mouth paused. Did he hear Mirabel’s words properly? Cami called him and she answered?
Has Jared been in contact with Cami all these months? That means he knew about her and his baby?
“Yes, that’s the reason why you shouldn’t have answered my phone. When do I start sharing the phone with you and you dare to answer my sister’s call” Jared snapped back at her.
“You know what, you are a cheat and a liar. You pretend not to know a thing about Cami all these while and you kept mute about it?
You hated my brother so much because of what you think he did to Cami and yet you have been in contact with her? I am a fool to have trusted you and think you are just the way you im to be.
But today, I have discovered the secret and I will ensure you disclose to everyone the whereabouts of Cami Dickson. I hate you for what you have done Jared” Mirabel looked straight into his eyes and reprimanded him.
“You are just like Rodrigo. You don’t know the extent of damages you have caused. But if I had known that you raised your hand against my sister and pped her, pulled her hair off her hair with strands of the hair in your hands and testified against her in court.
I sure would have hated you as much as I hate Rodrigo. I would have known that you are mean and without a human feeling to do that to a woman like yourself and feel no remorse about it.
But today, you showed me your true colours and I am d I know now before it bes toote. You stay away from a liar and a cheat like me okay?” He turned and was going to leave.
Mirabel’s eyes were already welling up in tears. Cami recalled her past and the impression she had on her on their first meeting. This was going to sever her rtionship with Jared possibly forever.
All that was said seemed not to mean anything to Rodrigo as much as knowing Cami’s whereabouts. As Jared was about to step out, be called back.
“Jared, please tell me where Cami and my baby is” what matters to him now was finding Cami and his baby. If she’s alive, definitely his baby should be fine as well.
Jared chuckled mockingly. “I don’t think you are qualified to know about my sister’s whereabouts. As for your baby, find it elsewhere.
Because my sister has babies and not just a baby. Though they look a lot like you and share your genes, your blood running through their faces, you will never have a im to those cuties.
You don’t deserve to father them. They will never be Campbell’s, because hardly can a good person be found in your lineage” Jared dered and went away.
Rodrigo stood speechless. “Twins, two babies” he said silently but obviously he thought he was saying it in his mind and it came out of his lips.
Mirabel was dazed. Cami has two babies. She’s an aunt. She saw the expression on Rodrigo’s face and knew he would be morose and Jared’s words had pinched his healing sore, a sore in the heart.
For another three days, Cami wasn’t interested in answering Jared or Sarah’s call. She wasn’t in the mood to. She felt they had betrayed the trust she had in them.
Jared being in a rtionship was something she approves of. But of all the young beautiful girls in City A, he didn’t find himself a love except that bitch?
And he hid it away from her. That implies that he could hurt her. If Rodrigo remotes his sister and she in turn, makes him do it. She will not forgive all who yed a certain role in sending her to prison.
When Jared couldn’t reach him he had no option than to reach Eduardo. He told him all that has happened between himself and Cami.
But she wasn’t answering her phone. He really wants to talk to her and exin all that has happened to her but she isn’t giving him a chance to do that.
Eduardo said ok. He would hear Cami out first and get back to him. He did and all Cami had to say was that he was dating the sister to her ex boyfriend.
Eduardo asked how that affected Jared’s love life and that he would ignore that feeling of love simply because the girl was her ex boyfriend’s sister.
Invariably, thedy in question is her babies Aunt. Cami snapped at him that her kids have no father and hence doesn’t have such an Aunt.
Her brotherughed and said he wants her to let go of her grievances against Jared. Everything was going to be alright.Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.
When Jared received a call from Eduardo and told him to call Cami, she definitely would answer her phones. He did and it worked.
Rodrigo came to find Jared in his office. He apuded him and told him that his office is exquisite. But Jared just stared at him expressionless.
Seeing the fellow would not care he went straight to the point “I have never begged for anything in my life before I got them. I already found out that Cami is rted to Eduardo Anderson.
And the night she disappeared from City A, he was the one who flew her out. But please, don’t judge Mirabel based on my personality.
We are two individuals who share the same parents. She loves you and is ready to apologise for her wrongs and get things straightened between you two…” Rodrigo was saying when Jared told him to stop.
“I am a good person and not some rude arrogant things like you. You walked into my office to tell me about Mirabel. Do you have a conscience at all?
I also walked over to yourpany Many days back to tell you to save my sister. She did what she’s done to save our lives but tell me what you did?
Tell me, you have soon forgotten about it and you walked into my office to repeat a past without thinking about what you did back then.
The next time you Walk in here to solicit for your sister, I will treat you worse than this” he said and picked up the hot coffee on his desk, and next, ssh it on Rodrigo’s suite.
“I spare you your eyes and I expect that you thank me. Now, the door!” Jared thundered.
Rodrigo was dazed. What goes around, surelyes around.
In City B, Cami Anderson walked into the gangetic multi million dor building that housed thepanies. She took the presidential elevator to Eduardo’s office.
Cami was dressed in an armless sky blue gown that is a little above her knees. She took a handbag that matches with her cream coloured pair of shoes on a heeled strappy sandals.
She made the tip of her hair curly and let it pour over her shoulders and on her wrist was a watch made from the purest diamonds.
She has this air of elegance and grace as she takes the elevators to her brother’s office. Some of the employees saw her and without being told, they knew she’s the youngdy of Anderson’s family.
They bowed slightly in courtesy to her and in return Cami smiled and waved a hand at them. She remembered when she was working as Rodrigo’s personal secretary, a wave of the hand or a smile could make her day.
The simplicity made many of the employees alsoe over and greet her. She looked beautiful and her straight white legs made her more attractive than the dressing she had on.
She got into Eduardo’s office and waited. He was in a zoom meeting and Cami sat down on the couch and crossed her legs.
On therge ss desk was Eduardo’s picture with his family. He has a daughter now and she looked beautiful and chubby.
It was a picture where Eduardo, Jenny and Jess took. Jess is Eduardo’s daughter. She had known Eduardo as someone who cherished his wife and daughter a lot.
She remembered Rodrigo again. He definitely would have been a great dad to their kids. He had traits of a loving father but that opportunity wasn’t destined to be.
She and her kids, together with Rodrigo would have been in a picture and ced in front of his giant mahogany desk in City A. But now, those kids were gradually growing without a father.
Thank goodness she’s got a lovely family both in City A and in City B. Those families took away the emptiness of being without a father from those kids.
They were still young and possibly couldn’t ask for their father yet. But if someday they do, she would tell them that their father rejected them when he rejected her.
Rodrigo Campbell, a single day hasn’t passed that the thoughts of him would not cross her mind. She doesn’t know if she sees him, she would be able to curtail her inner excitement.
Cami sighed softly and knew, there was never going to be them again. She and Rodrigo, the Chapter had closed.
She smiled when Eduardo waved at her. He signalled to her that he was almost done. And true to that, ten minutester, he was done.
He stood up and came over to hug Cami “I haven’t seen you in a week” he said, nting a featherlight kiss on her chin.
Cami smiled and said she missed him and little Jess. Eduardo chuckled and asked if she didn’t miss his wife as well. Jenny was the reason there was Jess.
They bothughed and Eduardo returned back to sit on his swivel chair. He had called Cami toe over because he needed to introduce her to her personal bodyguard.
She was making ns of returning to City A and he definitely would apany her if the need be. But she was going to be a popr woman soon and he needed to introduce her to her bodyguard.
Eduardo’s secretary came in and prepared two sses of coffee and presented it to the siblings. Before taking it, Cami smiled and said thanks to her.
That appeared to mean a lot to the secretary than a few notes of dors would do. She bowed before excusing the siblings.
“Why did you thank the secretary?” Eduardo asked. He had never treated any of the employees badly but he did not remember saying a word of thanks to them.
After all, they were paid to do the job. Why thanking them for doing what they ought to do?
“That word of thanks meant a lot to that secretary Eduardo. I used to be a secretary too and you have no idea how excited secretaries feel with that singr word.
Eduardo shrugged. Well, she has more cruel stories and a past that has modelled her life differently from he’s and Luke.
As they sipped the coffee, Eduardo soon dropped his ss of coffee and stared at Cami with a smile. Cami smiled and put down her own ss of coffee.
She hade to meet him for a purpose and not to drink coffee. So business calls and she has to be serious next.
“I’m d you came around. First, you will be in charge of a few departments as the head of the various units and the managers of those units would make reports to you and you in return make a report to me.
You will have to be a part of the administration of thepany here before I can be certain you can handle thepany in City B.
Dad and mom seconded to my decision and I want you to start straight away. Luke is the vice president and youe next in hierarchy. Is that okay with you?” Eduardo asked.
Cami smiled and took her ss of coffee, sipped and raised it up to Eduardo for a toast. Heughed and they made a toast.
“Fine. Since you ept this offer, you are going to be assigned to your personal bodyguard. He has been with us for a while now, and I think that he had impressed me enough to be trustworthy” Eduardo dered and took his phone, made a call to a certain person toe over.
Cami nodded. Having a bodyguard sounds great. She would be able to go wherever she wants without having to bother her parents’ bodyguards.
The door was opened and the bodyguard walked in. Cami was sipping from her coffee again and Eduardo asked the bodyguard toe closer.
Cami removed the ss of coffee down and turned to take a nce at the bodyguard who just walked and she froze, the ss of coffee slipped off her hand and she gasped…
