Chapter 30
Felix Freeman was dazed when he saw Camilla. She was looking gorgeous and elegant in her short gown upon high heeled shoes.
Her skin glitters like a baby’s and she looked radiant and beautiful than he had ever known her to be. He stood there in a spot as if transfixed.
He hadn’t seen her after his wedding. Last that he heard was that she was involved in an accident that almost made her lose her ability to use her legs. He didn’t come to find her again to apologise to her.
He had wanted to apologise for being unfair to her by marrying Lilliana and being treated badly by Lilliana when she showed up before then that day but she was soon rumoured to be Rodrigo Campbell’s woman. He kept his distance from them.
Camilla squinted when she saw Felix Freeman. She frowned. Coming across this bastard on a day she was holding a good news in her bag and carrying the bundle of joy in her belly was unwelcome by her.
He seemed to be doing well. He looked great in his expensive suite and beside him was his mother. When she saw Camilla, the older woman looked sad and full of remorse.
” Hello Camilla” Felix Freeman said, wearing a faint friendly smile. How much he desires to be Camilla’s friend again. They were friends before they became lovers. She was kind and faithful to him but he was the scumbag who broke her heart and trust.
He lost her love and friendship. And that is what he desired so much to get. Her friendship, smiles, chuckles and gently caresses. All these he desires but he may never get it again. He lost her and her place in his heart was stolen but he wants to be her friend if fate ever gives him such a chance again.
“Hi” she said and was going to walk away when Felix added “Lilliana had given birth”. Camilla nodded and didn’t say anything. She didn’t congratulate him nor even smile that her friend gave birth to a baby.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
” Camilla,” Felix called in a quiet remorseful voice, mother walked past her son and drew closer to Camilla. “I couldn’t come find you after everything that happened between you and Felix.
I do not have the conscience to come before you. Please forgive me. For all that Felix did to you and broke your heart, please forgive him. I know what it was like for a man to do so to a woman that loved and trusted him.
It was sudden when I knew, and Lilliana was already pregnant at the time. I know how much you helped him and saved my life as well. But we paid you badly for the good things you did for us….” She was saying when Camilla walked past her and left.
The older woman turned to look at the retreating back view of Camilla. That is what it looked like when a woman lost trust in someone she had really trusted in the past. A lone tear dropped from her face and Felix saw it.
” It’s okay mum. I’ve made you shed silent tears because of this, please don’t shed more tears. I am the one to shed those tears and bear the brunt of her unforgiveness.
But time would heal her wound. Camilla is a good person. One day she would find the heart to forgive me for my unreasonable acts” Felix Freeman declared, glancing at Camilla’s retreating back view and holding his mother in a side hug to walk her away.
Camilla hissed between gritted teeth. Who asked for an apology for those two ingrates? She is not holding a grudge against them either, just that she cannot trust them or ever have anything to do with them, ever again.
As Camilla arrived at her car, she was surprised to see that Emma was waiting by her car. She looked like someone who was ready for a fight.
She stood and rested her back on Camilla’s car with her hands folded across her chest. She sighed and grinned when she saw Camilla arrive to slide into her car.
She had trailed Camilla down to the hospital. She was going to give her the last warning of her life before being disgraced publicly. She hence came and waited for her to come out of the hospital.
When Camilla arrived at her car and saw Emma was not ready to move away from her car, she guessed she had come to find fault or cause a quarrel between them.
She’s too happy that day that she would let the likes of Emma ruin her mood. “Excuse me Emma” Camilla Requested. It appears Emma was waiting for an opportunity to talk. She smiled broadly and eyed Camilla.
“You can’t tell me to move away or not because this car must definitely have been given to you by my fiance. I have rights to his properties and not you.
Anyways that is not the reason I came here to wait for you. I have some questions to ask you and I hope you would be kind enough to give me direct answers” Emma declared and moved away from the car but Walked to stand before Camilla, both women staring at each other.
“The butterfly that took herself to be a bird. I want you to remember the class you belong to. That Rodrigo uses you to satisfy his sexual desires doesn’t make you a classical woman.
You are a wild chicken that pretends to be a white Phoenix. The reason why you can never attain my height is because you are a nobody, a nonentity in the society and a dreg of the society..” Emma was belittling her when Camilla raised her hand to stop her.
She doesn’t have time for such silly talks right then. She should wait and watch and see If Rodrigo would leave the white Phoenix and come to get engaged with her, that is a wild chicken.
“Don’t try to interrupt me when next I am talking, you riff-raff. You are a piece of trash, a misbegotten brat from a doe..” Emma kept lashing at Camilla whenbybe latter was Furious and yelled at her “Enough Emma”
But it appeared that Camilla’s yell meant nothing to Emmaas she continued ” I know you were definitely a product of an illegitimate affair. You are a born by mistake and your mother was definitely a prostitute.
Keeping you was going to ruin her business hence she disposed of you in the dirtiest and harshest way ever known. No wonder you are a bitch, taking after the footsteps of your mother.
But because I am the nicest and kindest woman ever known, I am warning you for the last time to stay clear of my man. Rodrigo is mine. I am never going to tolerate you anywhere near him henceforth.
And it will interest you to know that I will soon be introduced to family and friends as his fiance and the engagement takes place shortly after”Emma arrogantly declared, satisfying her ego.
She has been thinking of ways to provoke this bitch to warn her to stay away from her man. She had occupied that position by his side for too long but now, her time was going to expire and she was going to take the position that was rightfully hers.
Camilla wanted to be angry and develop a cold feet because she called her by different and ugly adjectives, but that won’t soil her excitement that morning.
“You are not worthy of Rodrigo. If he thinks highly of you and desires you a bit like you are forcing and throwing yourself at him, then perhaps, he might have spared you a glance.
But Rodrigo only wants me. Only I impress him so much and he wants me like he wants his breath and cannot do without me. So I would advise that you try to impress him before running your mouth like a loose pipe, okay?” Camilla said with a grin.
Emma was furious. That’s what she doesn’t want to hear. Rodrigo doesn’t have eyes for her nor has he for once spare her a glance. How can she impress someone who never sees or spare her a glance.
“You are a vicious bitch. Sara Dickson and her husband must have made the greatest mistake of their life when they saved you and not have let you waste away like a trash that you truly are…”Emma was ranting when Camilla slide into her car and was going to shut the door when Emma held the door, preventing her from shutting it and looked down on her.
Seeing she wouldn’t let her close the door, Camilla shook her head and smiled faintly ” I refuse to make you soil my happy mood. I am too excited to let your taunting do me any harm. So get away from my car” Camilla ordered.
Emma chuckled aloud. ” We shall see how it ends, who will win at the end” She whimpered and moved away from her car.
Camilla shut the door and turned on the ignition. She looked at Emma and smiled a mischievous smile and the latter knew she was mocking her.
Emma got provoked and started cursing Camilla loudly ” taut, silly and shameless..” she continued but at this time, her opponent had zoomed off in her car with the happiest smile on her lips.
After Camilla left, Emma looked around to see if someone was watching. This bitch had ended up making her angry and felt molested. She had wanted to molest her and make her feel dejected but the reverse was now the case.
She must deal with Camilla. Even if that’s the last thing she ever did in her life. She must pay for making her feel so miserable.
But what did Camilla come to the hospital to do? She appeared happy. What could that be?
Jenny went shopping with her mother in law as she said earlier. Mrs Anderson was pleased with Jenny and bought things in twos. One for herself and for Jenny.
Midway through their shopping, a certain woman walked towards them. “How do you do sister?” She said looking at Jenny with an unfriendly stare.
Mrs Anderson has always been trying to please her sister. But it appears, the more she tries to please her, the more difficult everything appears. From the way Clara was staring at Jenny, she felt her sister was soon going to find fault with her.
“I am fine Clara. How have you been too?” Mrs Anderson replied but her sister will not answer again. She walked to Jenny and the latter politely said a word of greetings to her, but rather than answer, Clara eyes Jenny, looking at her from her head to her toes.
Mrs Anderson was staring at her. This attitude of Clara was becoming glaring that she doesn’t like her. She should at least pretend to be nice to Jenny since they were meeting for the first time.
“This is Jenny, your niece, Eduardo’s wife” Mrs Anderson introduced her daughter in-law to Clara. She was going to continue, to introduce the other woman to Jenny when Clara asked:
