Chapter 56
“Katie is Luke’s fiance” Eduardo replied simply.
Next morning, Camilla woke up and didn’t find her mother by her side. She looked at the bedside click and saw it was past 9am already.
She raised herself to a sitting position and yawned, stretching herself. She looked at the magnificent bed she had slept and the pinky decorations of the room, and she felt happy, totally pleased with her new life.
It was great to wake up in a place like this, and not the prison she had been waking up in for the past two months. She went to relieve herself and took a bath.
She was going to see a gynaecologist that day, probably that morning. Her father had told her that and she got dressed and came downstairs.
She met her parents talking to a man, they seemed to be familiar with him. Her mother laughed heartily sitting with her legs crossed.
Camilla looked at her mother and smiled. She’s a classic rich woman, looking more poised than Lola, Rodrigo’s mother.
She can’t imagine that one day she also will be related to such a wealthy woman. The sight of Susan portrays elegance and beauty.
“Mum, dad” Camilla called, going over and kissed her dad’s chin and her mother’s temple. Her parents both smiled at her with such a megawatt smile that is full of admiration.
“Did you sleep well dear?” Steve Anderson asked, and Camilla nodded. “How are you this morning darling?” Susan asked.
Camilla is the youngest amongst their children. She was born after Luke though there was a slight few years gap between Eduardo and his siblings.
The man seated looked at Camilla and smiled. He seemed to admire and appreciate her already. He was already standing on his feet when Camilla turned to look at him.
“Hello Miss Anderson” the man said, showing courtesy first and bowing slightly. He stretched out his hand for a handshake and Camilla smiled and took it.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Hello,” she said and smiled briefly. She took his hand and shook hands. “I am Doctor Oscar,”he introduced himself.
“I am Camilla,” She replied and smiled. She didn’t use her last name. She used to be Dickson but now that she found out she is Anderson, she is yet to get used to being referred to as Anderson.
Her parents introduced Oscar to her as the family doctor who will be in charge of her medical conditions and the well-being of her unborn baby.
Camilla was happy and thanked her parents. She had her breakfast and Oscar started straight away. Susan and Steve stayed aside as she was being examined.
“We need to know many things about her darling,” Steve Anderson said and sighed. It is improper for any member of their family to have a child out of wedlock.
It was never done. But in Camilla’s case, what can they do? She not only was pregnant, but was a prisoner. She had escaped from prison and could not walk freely until they had waved her case off.
“Yes, my dear, a lot,” Susan Anderson nodded. They haven’t asked her any question about her past, how she survived and how she ended up in jail.
They needed to know all these so they could help her. She needs help and much love, they need to know the vacuum created in her and only then can they know how to fill it.
They waited until Oscar was done and prescribed some medicine for her. When he returned to join the Anderson parents, he requested that she come over to the hospital for an Ultrasound.
Steve Anderson got the prescription Request and asked one of the bodyguards to get the drugs. Overall, Oscar said she’s fine. She only needed to rest a lot.
Mirabel cried and sobbed all night. She had refused to open the door to her mother when she came pleading with her to open it. According to her, she can explain to her about the conversation she heard.
But Mirabel didn’t consider listening to her. Her mother was a liar and a conspirator. How can she do this to Rodrigo?
Did she detest Camilla so bad that she adopted such a mean method to separate her from her brother? Couldn’t she think of better and honest ways to do this?
Does she know Rodrigo’s present state of mind? How was he feeling already about the few lines of discovery he just made?
The thoughts of Camilla being pregnant with his child and going to jail was making Rodrigo become a depressed man. How will he take it when he discovers his mother was part of the separation between him and Camilla?
Mirabel took her bath. But the thoughts of the event of the previous day were still occupying her heart. She didn’t have her dinner the previous day and that morning, she stepped out and still didn’t have breakfast.
Lola walked closer to stand in her daughter’s way but she couldn’t utter another word when she saw her red puffy eyes.
Lola’s eyes welled up in tears. She moved away and Mirabel walked into her car. She stood and watched her daughter drove her car off and her tears fell.
What kind of a mother is she?
Few hours later in Campbell’s group, Joel walked into the office of the President. He looked swollen and unhappy. His countenance already portrayed that he was coming to bring an unpleasant news.
Joel came and stood before Rodrigo. The fellow has lost his composure after the visit of Sara and Kimberly. He is just smoking to keep himself going.
“Speak?” Rodrigo commanded. That was the same word he ever spoke to Camilla in this life. As he ordered Joel, his mind flashed back and he felt his heart pained for the bad he’s done to her.
“Camilla was indeed pregnant and Her family were truly kidnapped..” Joel was saying when Rodrigo yelled “I already know that”
Why is Joel stalling for time? He was repeating what he already knew. He should just go ahead and say what he found out.
“Camilla was poisoned. That explains the blood found. And the person who paid for her to be poisoned to death is none other than your fiance.
There was a huge transaction from Ms Ella’s account around the period this whole thing happened. A day after the incident, Emma was found to have disguised herself and visited a secluded abandoned building at the suburb ghetto part of the city.
I suggest that they both should be interrogated. But more investigation is going on in the anonymous account that Ms Ella transferred such an amount of money to” Joel explained.
Rodrigo was shocked. Emma paid for Camilla to be poisoned? That means she knew that she was pregnant and wanted to eliminate her completely.
Of course she knows otherwise, how can she make Mirabel see and go through that paper that day? Why is it that he was the only one here who didn’t know his woman was pregnant.
“Do you have the evidence?” Rodrigo asked between gritted teeth. This is too hard to believe.
“Yes,”Joel answered in a single syllable. He tried to tell him to see things from Camilla’s point of view but no, he wouldn’t. He alone was right and can single mindedly take decisions.
Now the truth was unfolding. How will he feel if eventually, he discovered how pregnant girlfriend was screamed at by the bitch he got engaged to.
“Get her arrested for interrogation,” Rodrigo ordered. He already saw Joel’s aloof attitude. He was being dutiful and not concerned about his State of mind.
“You will have to do it yourself because she’s your fiance”Joel refuted and sat on the sofa. Rodrigo looked at him and wanted to be furious but remained calm.
Martins received a call an hour later that his wife and daughter had been arrested by Rodrigo. He was furious.
Looks like this Rodrigo wants to trample upon him and his family’s prestige in the society. First he failed to appear at his wedding and kept his daughter waiting all day.
When he came, he only came to announce the cancellation of the wedding. He was yet to come and apologise and now, he had arrested his wife and daughter?
This was too much for him to condone. He would fight back this time. He can’t continue to be quiet all because his father was Rodrigo’s grandfather’s friend.
He got into the car, fuming in rage as his chauffeur drove him towards the police station. He was going to go fisty with that boy Rodrigo.
If he thinks he can just do anything simply because he was ruling the richest Company in town and is popularly referred to as the youngest dude in town.
He can’t do this to his wife and daughter. Emma was going to be his wife and he was misbehaving towards her? Doesn’t he have regards for the woman who will be his wife and the mother of his unborn children?
As Martins was fuming and planning on how to attack Rodrigo, the police officers who went to apprehend Emma and Ella arrived.
Emma was surprised when she saw Rodrigo seated and waiting for them with a frosty stare…
