M.I N.E endless Love

“Justin Swaras said such nonsense to you?”Jared asked, finding it difficult to believe the latter said such a thing.

“If you don’t believe me, ask your wife, she was there that night” Rodrigo declared.

As Camilla arrived in her car, her cell phone number ranged. She took her phone and without looking at the Caller’s ID, she answered.

“Hello Camilla, I am so happy that you answered your phone. Can we go out for dinner?” The voice from the other end came.

Camilla squinted. She knew the fellow. Even if she was sleeping and she heard that voice, when she wakes up, she will call his name straight away.

Dinner? She goes to dinner with Felix Freeman? Ahhh this is unbelievable. The bastard still has the effrontery to ask her for a dinner date?

She gently removed the phone from her ears and hung up. She is having too much to think about at the time to waste her time and energy, talking to such an asshole.

When Felix Freeman heard the call hung, he was dazed, his smile vanished away. He had thought she wasn’t going to answer her phone but she did.

That was his first victory. He didn’t expect that she would grow silent and then hung up. She might be contemplating on his request.

Since she answered her phone when he called, that’s a sign of greenlight. He would go ahead and pursue her. This was his best chance to do so.

He would win her over before Rodrigo would ever think of coming to woo her, stealing her heart from him. First attempt, good sign.

Jared arrived home moody. He had always trusted Camilla, why would she do that? How can she be sleeping with Justin?

It’s not like the latter was bad or mean, it’s just that she can’t possibly leave Rodrigo and be having secret affairs with Justin.

Mira came to hug him when he arrived and saw he looked unhappy. Worried she made him sit on the sofa and cupped his face.

“Anything the matter, Darling?” She asked. He wasn’t always like this. In fact since they moved out of the same Mansion with Camilla, Jared has always been a happy man.

“Nothing. All I want you to tell me is about what really transpired between Rodrigo and Justin that night that resulted in your brother hitting him” Jared asked.

He wants answers. He is eager to know the truth. That is what they all failed to ask that night, before Camilla launched a verbal attack on him.

Mira gently withdrew and sat down, away from Jared. That night was supposed to be tagged a night of humiliation.

She explained everything that night to Jared. By the time Mira finished, she was already sobbing. She couldn’t hide her unhappiness.

Jared went to console her. He said he just wanted to know what made Rodrigo hit Justin and not to make her sob.

“Your sister subjected Rodrigo to such mockery from a rival. You need to see how Justin dragged my brother. It’s like he was less than a human.

But I am happy now that it’s all come to an end. I won’t even wish that Rodrigo ever has anything to do with Camilla. Such a woman who…” Mirabel was still voicing her opinion when Jared interrupted her.

“I only asked you what happened that night. No one is requesting you to express what you wish and don’t wish about Rodrigo and Camilla’s relationship.

For the meantime, don’t bother yourself about issues that you can’t help. Get it?” He said and kissed her temple before raising himself to full height and went upstairs.

Mirabel just stared at her husband’s retreating back view. Jared would never accept anything unpleasant being said about Camilla.

He would frown and walk away exactly as he just did. She can’t imagine how much he loves his sister despite the fact that they are not really blood related.

His parents found Camilla and raised her before he was born. He grew up knowing her as his sister and for years, both of them never knew anything about Camilla’s origin.

Camilla is Jared’s Achilles heel. He can take anything thrown at him but definitely not against Camilla. He loves her so much and she only hoped that she loves him as much too.

That evening, Jared decided to go check on his mother and sister. Mirabel said she’s not interested in setting her eyes on Camilla yet.

Jared then left, driving himself towards the Mansion where his family lived. He initially stopped and bought for his nephew and niece a cup of ice cream and did the same for Camilla but not forgetting to buy the one with Vanilla flavour.

As he arrived at his mother’s place, his nephew was the first that came running towards him. He bent and scoop him up into the sky.

Jude giggled hysterically. Jade heard her brother’s excited voice and ran towards her uncle. Jared placed Jude on his feet and carried Jade up in the sky.

She giggled louder than her brother. Jared chuckled loud, he admired these kids. Rodrigo’s kids, he muttered to himself as he placed her on her feet as well.

“Jared” Sara called, putting away her reading glasses and glanced at her son. She motioned for him to come over and sit.

Jared came over and sat next to his mother, crossing his hands around her shoulders. He glanced down on the magazine she was reading and saw its health and exercise.

“How’s Mirabel?” Sara asked and Jared said she’s doing well. He glanced around, there was no Camilla around.

“Where’s Camilla?” Jared asked, his nephew and niece had run off to play again. He expected to meet her at home at such a time.

“I thought you weren’t going to ask after me” Camilla’s voice from behind him. Jared chuckled aloud. He didn’t know that Camilla was seated at the dining table.

“Of course, I will definitely ask after you, my first love” Jared teased and both Camilla and Sara laughed.

“You’ve always been my sweetheart Jared. How have you been? How’s Mirabel?” Camilla asked and Jared was momentarily speechless for some seconds.

Camilla asked him how is Mirabel? Was he dreaming? Did she really ask him that? Maybe things will fall into shape sooner than he expected.

“You think it’s unbelievable that I asked after your wife? Anyways, I am expecting another set of twins in this family. Why wouldn’t I ask after the mother of my future nephews or nieces?” Camilla playfully declared.

“Well, I must agree with you that I least expected you to ask after your sister in-law. But wait a minute, isn’t it amazing how our lives have become interwoven?” Jared stated.

He glanced at his mother and continued “do you understand what I am saying, Mira and I, Camilla and Rodrigo. Rodrigo and Mira, Camilla and I.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Camilla and I are siblings, Mira and Rodrigo are siblings. Mira is my wife and Camilla is Rodrigo’s woman. They already have kids and Mira and I will be having our kid too.

We definitely are going to stay together for long. Except that Camilla is treading an unpleasant path. This is great right, mum?” Jared explained.

Camilla frowned. How can Jared say she was treading an unpleasant path? She had once thought about it and she imagined the beauty of it.

“Camilla will surely come around, she’s going to get back with Rodrigo”Sara chipped in. She only wants her daughter to be happy and her happiness lies with Rodrigo. The latter loves her and it’s obviously visible.

“I don’t think getting back with Rodrigo is as easy as you said mum. If I get Rodrigo correct, he is never getting back with Camilla. The fellow has moved on with his life”Jared voiced out his opinion.

Camilla felt bad at Jared’s words. Rodrigo moved on with his life without her? How can that be? He loves her as much as she does about him.

Did he suddenly decide to scrape her off his mind simply because of what she said that night? Or could it be the effect of the scandal?

“No, that’s not possible. Rodrigo loves me and he definitely would come back to me. He might be upset yet, but he would definitely come around” Camilla objected to Jared’s statement.

She stood up and walked over, sitting opposite her mother and brother. She is certain, Rodrigo can only be hers.

“How is that not possible after your romance with Justin Swaras? Rodrigo is a neat freak, and you should know him better that he would detest you for sleeping with Justin” Jared snapped at her.

Sara frowned. Camilla was having something with Justin already? Was that why she reacted that night when she discovered that Rodrigo hit Justin?

“What do you mean by my romance with Justin? I know he would think differently about my relationship with Justin because of my reaction that night, but it’s all false. Justin and I are friends, no strings attached” Camilla declared.

Jared just stared at Camilla with a poker face. Just friends, no strings attached. In the past, he used to believe Camilla at face value. But now, he has to analyse her words before absorbing it Into his brain.

“Maybe others might believe you, but I can’t find myself to believe your claim. Do you even know what transpired between Rodrigo and Justin that night before he hit him?

I guess your answer is no. That is what you should have asked before slashing at him with your tongue. That act and actions tallied with Justin’s words and that is what has drifted Rodrigo away.

He is not coming back to you. He’s gone out of your life for real. So shake the thoughts off your mind that he is returning to you” Jared declared.

Camilla and Sara exchange glances. What did Justin say? Camilla blinked several times, she doesn’t want to show her weakness now. She wants to know exactly what has happened that night.

“What happened, just tell us if you know it?” Sara asked.
