Chapter 45
“I will help you find out,”Kimberly answered. They were on the field and Kimberly told her not to get worked up, she was going to affect the baby.
Camilla nodded and smiled. While others were exercising, she sat and watched them. If she wasn’t having Kimberly as her godmother, she would have been tortured or called to a fight, but her godmother was always shelding her.
As Camilla ran her hand over her belly, she became sobered again. She remembered being so excited When she discovered she was pregnant.
She wouldn’t have believed if someone had told her that she would be carrying the pregnancy when in jail. And that the baby’s father would not know about him.
Kimberly disappeared and less than twenty minutes later, she returned and pulled Camilla aside, “your mother had been here several times, but she was not allowed to see you. Guess who caused the restrictions?”
“Rodrigo” Camilla blurted. She knew no one was so powerful to restrict his mother and brother from coming to see her except Rodrigo.
She knows Rodrigo’s ruthlessness and k iws what he was capable of doing. She was glad anyways that her mother was safe and her brother was not hurt. What more can make her belly sweeter than to hear that her family was doing well.
She said, everything is going to be alright. She can vouch for her dear family that they would get her out of jail, despite the fact that they are poor, they would get help and give their own version of the story.
Everyone will then know what happened to them and correlate it with her behaviour. She then would find people who believed she was innocent but was merely remote.
Sara, now depressed and working, decided to go and see Rodrigo. He has to listen to her and hear her out. Camilla is being punished for what she didn’t really do.
As she approached the company, she was stopped and asked why she wanted to see the President. She said she was Camilla’s mother and needed to see Rodrigo.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
The security exchanged glances and looked her head to toes, she dared to come to see Rodrigo and had the mind to address herself as Camilla’s mother.
Without asking any questions further, they let her go in. When she walked into Rodrigo’s office, she was dazed to find Emma sitting on the exquisite sofa, while Rodrigo appeared to be busy behind the desk.
The latter raised his head and saw Sara standing before him. The fury in him rose to it’s bottle neck. How dare this filthy woman walk into his office and she wasn’t restrained?
” Rodrigo I need to talk to you about Camilla…” at the mention of the name Camilla, Emma’s irritation was obvious as she eyed Sara and yelled at her to stop.
” I knew you would be related to that criminal. Your poor outlook and shabby cheap clothes can only be worn by classless people like you.
Who gave you the effrontery to Walk in here and claim to talk to Rodrigo about Camilla. I am Rodrigo’s fiance and I would not tolerate filthy things like you to trouble him henceforth.
Camilla had been convicted and she would spend the rest of her life in jail for all she did to my fiance and this whole company. Now, use the door!” Emma bellowed, hissing between gritted teeth.
Sara just stared at Emma. This little girl talks to her rudely. It’s not like she doesn’t know she didn’t dress well, but Rodrigo had burnt down her house with everything she they’ve got.
” If your finance hadn’t burnt down my house and my entire properties, maybe I would have dressed better…” Sara retorted and then turned to face Rodrigo but she stunned when he ordered her:
” If you dare Walk through that door into my office next time, I will have you handle exactly how I did to your son. I will forgive you this first time, but don’t dare it a second time”
Sara was spellbound. Rodrigo could talk to her like this? Isn’t he the same Rodrigo she had always known? This fellow sitting behind the desk had a striking semblance with Rodrigo she used to know but definitely not the same personality.
” Rodrigo, it’s me Sara. You really meant those words after causing so much harm to us? Are you really going to treat me like you treated Jared? What has come over you…” that was the last word Sara said before Emma came forward and slapped her across the face.
That action was disapproved by Rodrigo but for the sake of the present time, he didn’t caution her and Emma raised her hand to slap Sara again when Rodrigo said ” let her be my dear. Why waste your energy on peasants like this?”
Sara looked at Emma. A woman who slapped someone who is as old as her mother would never make a great wife. Someday she would do the same to Rodrigo’s mother.
She looked at Rodrigo and saw him staring at him in hostility. His face was frowned, giving off a cold aura. As quietly as she had come, Sara turned and went away.
She shouldn’t have come like Jared said. She didn’t know she was going to meet this arrogant bitch in his office. If it was Rodrigo alone, perhaps she would have been able to talk some senses into him.
But his so-called fiance had ruined everything. That girl slapped her? She would never forget that act and she would never forgive until she saw her pay for what she did.
As soon as Sara left, Rodrigo couldn’t concentrate anymore. Emma shouldn’t have slapped Camilla’s mother. Sara could pass as her mother. That’s too uncultured of her.
He just hoped he wouldn’t spend the rest of his life in regrets. Emma is not his kind of woman but Camilla had pushed him this far or rather he had gone this extent because he wants to hurt her.
When Emma suddenly perceived that Rodrigo was suddenly cold towards her, she went to him and caressed his shoulder ” We need to go lunch sweetheart” trying to get herself back on his good side.
Camilla remained in prison and soon a month had passed. Kimberly had treated her scalp for her and the wound was healed. The hair there was beginning to grow back.
She had now felt a home. No matter what happens, she’s spent a month already and very soon, she will count months and her baby will be born.
She was now three months and a week gone. She never ceased to be amazed at how strong she had become within the shortest possible time.
Kimberly was always protective of her and wouldn’t let her get bullied. She ensured that Camilla gets her portion of the meal everyday.
Camilla had become Kimberly’s goddaughter and everyone knows that. No one messed up around her or with her without having Kimberly to contend with.
Few days later, Kimberly was summoned up to the superintendent’s office. She was given a document to sign and she did. Then she was told she had obtained a state pardon.
She couldn’t believe her ears. State what? Pardon? She’s free and could go home now? She placed her hands on her chest to calm the sudden heart beats that had increased.
She was asked to meet her relatives who had come to fetch her. As Kimberly walked out, she saw her son and her eyes welled up in tears.
