M.I N.E endless Love

Camilla was dazed by Rodrigo’s words. It wasn’t like Mirabel hadn’t told her that Rodrigo was getting married to someone else, but hearing him saying it to her was like drilling her heart with a dagger.

He could say to her that he was getting married and doesn’t want her around him to avoid distraction. Oh she’s always been a distraction to him.

“Yeah, you heard me right” Rodrigo emphasised it, this time, he stood up, he wasn’t interested in saying anything further.

“Stop there Rodrigo” Camilla called but the latter didn’t stop nor turned to look back at her. He wasn’t interested in talking more with her. Seeing her, she looks so unclean before him.

Camilla went after him but Rodrigo already got in and shut the door. She banged the door, but Rodrigo wouldn’t listen nor open it.

“Is this how you really wanted us to part? If you get married to someone else, I won’t let you have access to your kids. We would shut you out of our lives forever.

I loved you and have lived only for you and your kids. I gave you the most important thing in your life, and you tell me that you don’t want me around you because I might be a distraction?

You are mean. You may look cute and handsome, but you are a bad guy. How many more times would you be involved with women while I stand far off watching you?

First it was Emma and now another woman? I was wrong to have loved you Rodrigo, I was the most stupid girl to have fallen in love with you…” Camilla said and her voice choked.

She sat on the floor and started sobbing. Rodrigo heard every single word she uttered. She thinks he was mean. There’s no way he can do anything that night in his study if Camilla remains in that Mansion.

After some time he opened the door and came out. Camilla’s eyes were puffy and red already. She definitely was tired of sobbing, just sat on the floor and rested her back on the wall.

“You think it was only you who is being hurt here right? When I came to find you in City B, to apologise, explain and seek your forgiveness, what did you do?

You almost have me killed. I would have died that day all because I wanted to get back with you. You have so much hatred for me that I couldn’t imagine you were my girlfriend Camilla.

The height of it was you humiliated me. You said I was impotent and not a man. That I couldn’t even satisfy a woman. That is too much humiliation from a woman to a man.

How can you say that to me Camilla? Am I so horrible in bed that you have to humiliate me so much? What did I do wrong that day?

The wrong thing I did was to have hit your boyfriend. You took it on me and slashed me with your mouth. You would rather take his side than me, your ex.

How do you think we can ever be happy together again? That was when I took the decision and completely shut you out of my life. I can’t help it but you can’t blame me either…” Rodrigo explained.

“I had nothing to do with Justin Swaras. I just said those words to hurt you. There was nothing behind the scene” Camilla explained quickly.

She knew those words were weighty but she didn’t say it to Humiliate him and make Justin appear a superman.

“I’m sorry Camilla, but I don’t believe you. If Justin said something amiss before you came out that evening, I would believe what you just said.

But he said words very similar to what you said. At different times by you two. I can only conclude that it’s the truth. I’m sorry if you think I am not believing you but that’s the case here”Rodrigo replied.

He was feeling exhausted with this whole talk. He doesn’t like talking so much but he had to explain these things to her.

“You don’t believe me. And you had already shut me out of your life. I think there’s little or nothing that I can do or say now” Camilla declared, getting off the floor, Rodrigo helped her up.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

His heart longed for Camilla, to hold her and hug her. He wants to return to the way they were in the past before Jade and Jude were ever conceived but the barrier was in his head, he was seeing that she was no longer his woman again.

“I wish this whole nonsense never happened between us. I still love you very much but I can’t stand it…” he trailed off.

Camilla nodded. She looked at her wristwatch, it was late and Rodrigo read her mind already “it’s late already, why don’t you pass the night here and next morning you return home.

Or better still, if you want, one of the bodyguards could drive you home. What do you think?” He asked, his voice now full of emotions like the Rodrigo she used to know.

“I’m feeling thirsty,” Camilla said, not answering his question. She had sobbed and now, she needs water to replenish the ones she lost.

“I’ll get you some water” Rodrigo said and went back inside his study, brought a jug of water and went downstairs, brought a tumbler and poured Camilla a drink.

This time she had returned to sit in his study. She took the glass of water and sipped it down. This is Rodrigo she used to know.

“I think you’ve sobbed too much. Why don’t you take a bath and I’ll get you an analgesic. Otherwise you’ll have a headache” he suggested.

“Thank you,”Camilla agreed. Mirabel has told her not to leave until she gets her man back. She must get Rodrigo back, that is certain.

“Use the master bedroom by your left. I’ll order something for you to wear” Rodrigo said and took his phone, ordering Camilla’s size of clothes and nightwear.

Camilla was just staring at him. That’s exactly how he does everything for her back then until evil people schemed against them. He is still the same Rodrigo she knew.

Rodrigo looked at her and their eyes locked. A brief moment of love passed between them and Rodrigo came to hold her hand. He brought his lips close to her and almost kissed her.

When Camilla thought he would kiss her, at the last minute, he withdrew and said “I’m sorry, I don’t think it is right to cheat” he said.

He was indicating that Camilla has Justin and he was getting married too. Both of them were cheating if they kissed each other.

“Hmmm but you cheated when you kissed Emma publicly” Camilla asked, staring at him to see his actions.

“I’m sorry” Rodrigo said, backing away from Camilla and the latter pouted her lips and walked out of his study. One thing she knows is that she must get Rodrigo back that night.

If she has to seduce him she would. That might not be the best option now but that’s the quickest way for her to hold him down. He would not only kiss her, he would have her in his bed.

When Camilla got into Rodrigo’s bedroom, the room still looked exquisite like it was back then. The King bed was still there except that it has a different bedspread.

On the wall was a large portrait of her picture taken with Rodrigo. They look cute together, he held her from behind by her waist, having that charming smile on his face.

She remembered that day. They went for dinner with a proposed partner and he introduced her as his girlfriend. They sealed that deal and he took her out.

Rodrigo’s smile and laughter were not common, but with her, he would laugh out loud that she would wonder how he could be so playful and yet become stern out there.

She ran her finger over the picture and smiled. She missed Rodrigo’s companionship for the past few years they were apart. He is such a sweet romantic guy.

She went to the closest to pick a wardrobe and was stunned to find her dresses were still there neatly arranged and her eyes welled up in tears.

He definitely was optimistic that she would one day return to him. He didn’t dispose of her dresses and kept them still in his closet.

Now, she regretted her actions, treating him so badly. He realised he was wrong and came to find her but she only showed him hatred and her vengeful heart wouldn’t see beyond his past errors.

She ran her hands over those designer clothes then. They were not in Vogue anymore but at the time Rodrigo took her shopping, they were the most expensive and latest designers in town.

She took one out of the set of towels in the closet and changed out of her dress. She needs a nightwear when she takes her bath and finds the nightwear she wore last night she and Rodrigo spent last before things fell apart.

Camilla came downstairs to take a glass of milk. She opened the refrigerator in the kitchen and poured herself a glass. As she returned the milk back to its place, she took her glass of milk and turned only to come face to face with Rodrigo.

She was shocked that he was there and she didn’t know. “When did you become a cat that your footsteps cannot be heard? Besides, shouldn’t you be working in your study?” Camilla inquired, taking the milk to her lips.

She wondered how quickly his servants had stuck his refrigerator with groceries. Didn’t he just come in that evening and leave the next morning?

Rodrigo chuckled aloud. He was still by the entrance to the kitchen with his side leaning against the door frame. His hands folded across his chest.

“I remembered you have asked me this question in the past, and I said if you want to call me a cat, you could do it. But working, I can’t work because you are here” he said looking at her seductive and transparent nightwear.

“Oh Rodrigo the cat,” Camilla teased, laughing. Rodrigo can make her smile and amuse her so much.

“Yeah, thank you mother of my kittens” Rodrigo replied laughing. He moved away from the frame he leaned on and came towards her, taking her glass of milk and placing it on the kitchen table and suddenly pulled her closer to himself.

They stood staring at each other. Rodrigo towered over her and she looked up at him. Their breath so close and their heart beats was all they could feel at that moment.

Time seemed to stand still before them as they stared into each other’s eyes. Love and genuine emotions seemed to flow in their eyes as they cherished such moments.

“Can I ask you a question and please tell me the honest truth,”Rodrigo finally broke the silence. He wants to know the truth, nothing but the truth.
