Chapter 35
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 Anderson’s Mansion was quiet. No one had dinner that night and they weren’t hungry either. Luke spent the night in his parents house but Eduardo returned home with his wife.
Susan Anderson couldn’t sleep. If she closed her eyes, she felt as if her daughter was calling her. Was she in some kind of danger or was it because much was said about her baby and it was replaying itself in her dreams?
Steve seemed to stay awake watching over his wife and trying his best to console her. He had told her that at this point, their kids would put heads together and find their daughter.
The last time he remembered, his friend is the President of City A. He would ask him to help find if there was any baby found who’s parents couldn’t be located sometimes twenty years ago.
Susan seemed to be pacified by her husband’s words. She said her heart yearns for her daughter. She has grown up to become a beautiful woman and yet, she’s never seen her.
Eduardo kissed Jenny and thanked her for her help. The latter was surprised and asked him what she’s done to help him for which he was thanking her for.
Eduardo told her that she was the one that made him stop looking outward for an Enemy. The enemy wasn’t out there like he had always thought, it was within.
Jenny laughed and said always, she would be ready to help in any way possible. Eduardo was happy, he knew that being married to Jenny was not something he paid much regards to, but then, he cannot say he regretted being married to her.
Infact, he seemed to fall in love with her more now than he had ever imagined. How would his life have been if he ended up with that ambitious woman Betty?
Thinking about Betty, he remembered that Luke was going to see her. How can someone claim to be pregnant for a man whose brother she jilted?
Does she have a brain in that skull of hers at all? Well it appeared they were afraid to go through with their threats otherwise, at this time, the social media would have been flooding with comments about it already.
He thought they were capable, but didn’t know they were having a jelly back bone. Anyways he was glad the Davies he married was Jenny.
In City A, Rodrigo couldn’t sleep. He was pacing back to forth. He had gone to check the company’s secret save and truly every document that authorised the establishment and existence of the company was gone.
Those documents were in the custody of his grandfather and then handed over to his late father and after his death, he took over the operation of the company presiding over it.
Those documents were as important as the company itself. He had trusted Camilla and let her know his password to the save. He didn’t expect that she would back stab him.
How can he be so negligent with a woman? Poor things are always mischievous and the thirst for wealth usually makes them do such things. But why didn’t he know her true personality or that she was faking it, playing along with him to eventually ruin him?
She could take money from his mother and promised to break up with him? He had asked her back then and she said it’s her business and his mum. So it was indeed business.
No wonder she bought a house without asking him for money. She had made a huge deal for merely fifty million dollars? He wished he had known her true personality earlier, he would never have been so loose towards her.
But she would pay for all she’s done to him. For her deceit and for terminating the life of his unborn child. For making his family experience such a trauma, she would pay.
She would lose everything she’s ever gotten. That is the promise he made to himself and to the best of his ability, he would see that she experience the worst form of imprisonment ever.
She would regret ever crossing his paths. Rodrigo gnashed in fury and went to his wine cell, looked at the hardest of one among the wine and brought it down.
In less than an hour, Rodrigo had gulped down two bottles of the wine and it wasn’t long his eyes were getting dizzy. He has a great tolerance for alcohol and has been able to take two bottles of vodka.
He became tipsy but kept drinking. He wants to forget everything that has happened that day. He wants to assume it was a dream, none of it was real.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
But he couldn’t help it, he was still remembering it and then he kept drinking. He belched but couldn’t stop drinking because he couldn’t forget either…
Next morning, when Rodrigo woke up, he found himself in his bedroom. He was having a terrible hangover and he held his head between his palm as he sat on the edge of the bed.
The room was filled with Camilla’s scent. A Scent he now detested so much. He was not going to use that room again until he swept it clean of Camilla’s memory.
The news of the previous day was resurfaced again with Camilla’s picture and story all over the social media. Her picture was placed side by side with Rodrigo and everyone was asking if she was truly President Campbell’s girlfriend.
Rodrigo took a sobering soup after he got dressed and came downstairs. He was surprised when he saw the news and many were saying unsavoury words at him.
That day as well, charges were pressed against Camilla and she was going to be arrayed in court. Rodrigo didn’t give a damn about whatever happens to Camilla.
She’s not only defrauded him and tarnish his image, she had also committed murder. She would pay for her crime for the rest of her life.
But he would see that he adds to her pain and makes her suffer. He has to sit up and start to investigate those documents. He would do it and the company would be free from threats. That was the promise he made to his grandfather.
But Camilla will feel his wrath, his pain and disappointment was nothing to be compared to what he was feeling right away.
And he was starting right away that morning. The one she detested so much, was going to take her place and he would so much make her feel the heat of being betrayed by the one who once claimed to love her:
