Chapter 27: Pregnant
Sebrina and her daughter want to see him. Why would they come over to see him? Anyways he told them to wait until he’s done with his work.
When he called them in, he saw the mother and daughter pair looking aggrieved. He looked calm and before offering them a seat, they both sat on his sofa.
Eduardo wondered what his life would have looked like if he indeed was married to Betty. He just glared at them, not knowing why they had come nor was he eager to know.
“Hello Eldest master” Sebrina said, putting on a weak smile that indicates it’s fake. Eduardo just stared at her and nodded.
” How may I help you?” Eduardo asked, he doesn’t have time for silly meetings with silly people. He was waiting for them to spill out what they were there for.
“It’s between the second master and my daughter, Betty. And since he wants it this way, I don’t have an option other than going the path he chose.
Eduardo sighed. Luke had put himself in trouble by being friends with this kind of a person. Anyways, he wants to hear what they have to say.
” That hasn’t answered my question about what I can do for you,” Eduardo insisted. He was already feeling irritated by the sight of Sebrina and her daughter.
These two were family with his wife but she is different. He doesn’t know how she was able to cope with these people when she lived with them.
” Betty is pregnant and Luke is responsible for the pregnancy!” Sebrina declared. She looked as if she was going to get into a fight with Eduardo.
The latter’s eyes turned red and his frown was capable of making someone chilled. She glared at Sebrina and then Betty. Pregnant?
“Why are you telling me this, I am Eduardo and not Like” Eduardo replied. How can Luke get entangled with such a girl? If he must sleep with her, Why not protect himself?
” I know very well that you are not Luke. But your brother instructed her to have an abortion. No family of Davis was ever going to do that. Betty cannot have an abortion” Sebrina declared.
There was silence. Eduardo was furious. They are Anderson’s, they are not allowed to have illegitimate children. If this spoiled arrogant girl is truly pregnant with Luke’s child, it implies he had to marry her.
And if she gets into the family, she would taint Jenny and almost suffocate her with her hatred and jealousy. Because certainly, his parents will never approve of her as their daughter in-law.
“You go, I will send for you after talking with Luke” Eduardo dismissed them. This was too much crowding his mind. Besides the responsibility of the company on his shoulders, he was battling on the fellow who wanted him and Luke dead.
And from the confession of that fellow, the same person was responsible for his sister’s disappearance. How will he add the issue of Luke getting Betty pregnant with it?
But they were not raised that way. Something must have happened. Luke had a girlfriend the last time he checked and they both loved each other. There’s no way he would leave his girlfriend and get entangled with Betty.
He needed to talk with him. He has to find out the truth about the whole thing. Is she really pregnant and Luke is the father of her unborn child?
Sebrina stood and Betty also did the same. Eduardo was staring at them from behind the desk where he sat. ” Latest tomorrow by dinner time. Otherwise, don’t blame me if I take to the social media ” Sebrina threatened.
” Is that a threat?” Eduardo asked. He was furious. Was she threatening him right inside his own office? That’s absurd.
” You can say again” Sebrina was stubborn. She has him and the entire Anderson family where it hurts. They cannot do anything to her and her daughter.
“I dare you, Sebrina Davis and watch me destroy your daughter’s reputation, digging out her ugly past, ” Eduardo threatened.
Of course her girl was having a filthy past. He agreed to be married to her because he doesn’t want her for anything. He was just obligated to be married to a Davis’
Betty shivered and her mother noticed it. She knew they cannot do anyhow now. There might indeed be things her daughter was hiding and someone Like Eduardo can dig out any information he wants without as much as stepping out of his office.
She glanced at Eduardo and saw him glaring at her with hostility. His gaze was cold, emitting a chilling aura.
At home, Jenny’s uncle called her. He was surprised that for months now, Jenny didn’t call nor ask him about her mother’s graveside or how her body was laid to rest.
When Jenny saw his call, she felt a rush of anger swiped through her heart. Her pains, and the thirst to revenge on her uncle for what he and his she- demon wife did to her parents.
But she restrained herself. He was calling her after months of her mother’s death. He promised to call her back then, he was Calling her now to tell her what, about her mother’s remains?
“Hello Uncle,” Jenny sounded calm. He must have thought she knew nothing about what happened to her mother and how her father’s death wasn’t strange to them.
“How are you doing Jenny?.. it’s been a while, you didn’t call me for months nor have you reminded me to take you to your mother’s graveside. Is everything alright?” He asked like a concerned uncle he pretends to be.
” I felt you would call me. My mother was gone and I wasn’t given the last chance to see her to say goodbye. But since you said you would call me, I relaxed and waited” Jenny replied.
He went ahead and apologised for keeping her waiting. He then said he wants her to come around. He was going to show her her father’s graveside.
Jenny told him he should tell her where she would meet him. It probably might be thinking she doesn’t know the truth of what he’s done to his own brother and the wife.
Patrick Davis said ok. He was glad and smiled. He had fooled her and would take her to an empty tomb so as to gain her trust and win her confidence again.
Jenny said okay and stood up to go. Then she remembered that she should inform Eduardo about where she was going. She dialled his cell phone number and it soon got connected and he answered almost immediately.
“My wifey, anything?” He asked. He seemed to be pleased that she called him. His voice came bright and cheerful from the other end of the phone.
” Nothing much. I want to inform you that my uncle called and I would be going to meet him. He’s found my mother’s graveside…” Jenny informed me.
Eduardo was quiet for a while. What did she say, going to see her mother’s graveside? Who told her, that her mother has a grave already? Why is her uncle lying to her?
For a long time, Jenny didn’t receive a response. “Hello Eduardo, are you there?” Jenny asked and finally Eduardo said ok. She should go but should be careful out there.
As soon as he hung up, he ordered two bodyguards to accompany Jenny from a distance. He can’t trust that uncle of hers. If he can lie to her about her mother’s graveyard, he could harm her as well.
He summoned Eric ” The doctor said Mrs Temisa Davis had been injected with toxins for so long and the effect of which was that she was in coma right?” He asked and Eric said exactly.
” Find out who subjected her to such inhuman treatment and why was the doctor in charge of her case in the former hospital? I need answers as soon as possible” Eduardo instructed.
There is something wrong somewhere. It’s been months and Jenny’s mother was already well and fine. Why now, taking her daughter to an Empty grave and tomb?
An hour later, Jenny drove in her expensive car, the one her father-in-law had gifted her. She now drives in her own car and such expensive cars draw the attention of people whenever she is driving in it.
She arrived at the public cemetery where her uncle had told her to meet him. She saw her uncle was already waiting for her. Seeing him makes her belly rumble with hatred. He was the mastermind behind the accident that claimed her father’s life, his own brother and kept her Mother hospitalised for years and finally ended her life.
This is mean and inhuman. This uncle of hers is a demon, a pretender to the core and a murderer of the highest hierarchy. Most Murderers wouldn’t kill their relative and siblings, but this man, christened Patrick did that to his elder brother.
She alighted and walked out of the car, she wore a long black dress and a dark shade on. She covered her hair with a black veil as well and walked gently towards her uncle with a flower in her hand.
When Patrick Davis saw his niece, the expensive car she drove, he couldn’t help but be envious. His daughter Betty Should have been the one living so big and comfortable.
But he pretended to smile when he saw Jenny walking towards him “Jenny my dear” she called her gently and went to embrace her. “Hello Uncle” Jenny said in a weak tone.
She was going emotional already. Her mother was finally laid to rest in that place. Her eyes had gone moist again and her uncle Pats her back.
” I’m sorry I took so long to inform you. This is too much for me too but I can’t help it. Temisa is gone and we are going to miss her..” Patrick was consoling her.
His eyes had gone red as well and his voice choked. Anyone who doesn’t know the evil he’s done in agreement with his wife would readily conclude that he really loved Jenny’s mum.
The latter hissed between gritted teeth. Hypocrite. He knew what he had done and yet, was pretending to her? He certainly was sure she doesn’t know a thing about what he’s done.
She ignored what he said and asked ” Take me to her tomb” she requested and Patrick had no option than to go ahead of her and Jenny followed.
They arrived at a tomb, made with marble stone. On it was written we will forever miss you Temisa Davis when Jenny saw it, she couldn’t hold her tears. She sobbed like a baby. She doesn’t need anyone to tell her that is where her mother had been laid to rest.
She dropped her flower and sobbed more. Her uncle stood by her side and occasionally would sniffle. He didn’t mean that Temisa should die, after all his daughter was no longer interested in being married to the eldest master of the Anderson’s family.
But Sebrina did the worst. She paid for Temisa to be murdered. She’s two find a murderer than him. She would ensure that she came here and paid her last respect to her sister in-law.
“This is where I buried her when I recovered her corpse. I couldn’t stand it and it completely eluded my mind to inform you when I was burying her. Please forgive me Jenny. I spent a fortune to make her tomb the most attractive in this cemetery…” Patrick lied.
He knew that Jenny was going to raise suspicion and come asking him later about her mother’s tomb that was why he faked the place. Just to silence her forever. This was an empty tomb.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
Jenny snorted. Her tomb is the most attractive. What good will that do to her? After he connived with his wife and killed her parents, he now makes her mother’s tomb more attractive.
Idiot. Will that wash away the sin on his soul? She wishes she had enough evidence to apprehend him and Sebrina. But she doesn’t.
“I’ll forever miss you” Jenny said and turned away. She walked briskly to her car, covering her mouth to reduce the noise of her sobbing. She got into her car and almost cried her eyes out.
Patrick sighed for relief. She believed. That settles it. She now knows where her mother was buried and that sweetens his belly.
Camilla arrived back at the company and kept working. She discovered that she craves for everything that she sees. She soon went out to lunch in the company’s cafeteria.
She ate and took a takeout along with her to the office. Since Rodrigo was not in the company, her work was less. She was just idle until the closing time.
But she has lost count of how many times she has eaten. She arrived home just as Rodrigo called her and informed her he had arrived in Spain. He wished she was there with him.
But he promised that when he next comes to Spain, she would be by his side as his wife. Camilla smiled and said she wants that wish to come to pass soon.
When the call ended, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She would be Rodrigo’s wife someday. That would be her happiest day.
That evening Emma and her mother Ella concluded the mission they were planning on for months. They had finally devised a way to separate Rodrigo and Camilla forever.
And what excites them the most is that Lola, Rodrigo’s mother, was part of the ploy to bring Camilla down and get Emma into Rodrigo’s heart and life. With Lola’s help, the plan was definitely going to be executed neatly.
When asked, Lola suggested that it should be the day Rodrigo returned from Spain. She just was informed by his grandfather that he was going on an official trip to Spain.
Her daughter Mirabel will also arrive the day before Rodrigo would return. And as such, she would want the disgrace and separation to be done in the presence of many witnesses.
Everything concluded, the three women were filled with satisfaction. This is the last stroke that will break the Camel’s back.
