M.I N.E endless Love

Behind was a tall slim young man in a designer polo on a black jeans. He appeared casual but he wore expensive clothes.

Jared recognised him at once. He is the first Son of the prime minister. This is Justin Swaras. He is a private person and highly respected by the citizens of the country.

He stood up quickly and bowed as Justin passed him to take a seat directly opposite of him. “Good morning sir” Jared showed courtesy while still standing.

“Jared Dickson, good to meet you” Justin Swaras replied, taking a seat and asking Jared to sit down.

Jared did and waited. Why did Justin Swaras want to see him? He is a reputable young man being the number one son to the first citizen of the country.

“You are Camilla Dickson’s brother right?” Justin asked and Jared said yes almost immediately. Had he found his sister or he knows where she might be.

“Well, I am not a man of too many words. At your sister’s request, you are getting a job with me immediately. Is that right?” Justin asked, waiting for his response.

Jared snapped his head up and stared at Justin. Work with him? Did he hear his words well? He really wanted to work with him?

He never would have believed it in his wildest imagination that a day would come when he could walk into Justin’s apartment and ask such a question.

At his sister’s request he said. That means he knows where his sister is. He really was aware of his sister’s still alive.

“Do I take your silence to be yes?” Justin asked again. The fellow appeared surprised and must be thinking he heard wrong. He stared at him, his eyes glued on him.

“Yes, yes thank you”Jared replied and smiled faintly. Was he drunk not to accept such an opportunity on the platter of gold?

“Then you have the job. You are starting immediately and my secretary will offer you the necessary documents to sign. You will be my assistant and your job starts now…”Justin Swaras declared.

Jared couldn’t imagine what his life and that of his mother would have been without Camilla. Even at this point, Camilla was still seeking for their good.

She went to jail because of them and now, she’s helping him get a job despite all that has happened. What can he do without Camilla.

“Being my assistant, your dressing must be top notch, identical to mine. You are entitled to cars as well with a Mansion attached. Here are the keys?”Justin Swaras said, stretching a sealed envelope to him.

Jared stood up and got it. Didn’t he say keys, why was there an envelope. He was really curious to know the content of what was in there.

“You can check it if everything is correct” Justin Swaras suggested, staring at Jared. He knew his curiosity was getting the hold of him and didn’t want him to stay too long before seeing its content.

Jared nodded and opened it. He looked inside and was surprised that there were documents. He looked at Justin and the latter shrugged.

He brought the documents out and realised they were for a house and a car. And it carries his name. Meaning he bought him a house already?

Slowly, he placed the documents down and looked at Justin. He doesn’t know what to say, his eyes full of appreciation and gratefulness.

“Camilla wants you out of the apartment you live in. So do it quickly, in an hour’s time. You will drive your car out of this Mansion and by tomorrow, I want you here as officially you have begun work.

Sign the documents and contract before leaving. And ensure that you terminate your contract from your previous work place…” Justin Swaras instructed.

When Jared drove the latest brand of Lexus, Identical to Rodrigo’s, out of the Prime Minister’s Mansion, he knew his identity had changed from that day.

He was going to be paid ten times the amount he was earning from the company he was just employed. Everything seemed like a dream.

He was going to move his mother from the apartment that Joel gave them. He will thank him for standing by them at such a difficult time.

Jared looked at himself. He really has a car and such an expensive one at that. He went to his former workplace and resigned.

He then went home to meet his mother. When Sara saw the car parked, she thought it was Rodrigo. What does he want now?

But she was left dazed when she saw Jared stepped out of the car, beaming with a smile. She just glared at him not understanding what this means.

This car was similar to Rodrigo? Had he gone to meet that fellow and he pacified him about his sister? No, Jared won’t dare that. He hates Rodrigo too much for him to suddenly get acquainted with him.

“Mum,” Jared said, coming over to give his mother a side hug. His happiness cannot be overemphasised. His smiles were getting broader and Sara waited for him to explain to her how he got the car.

Jared knew his mother had a lot of questions in her heart, boiling within and waiting for an answer. He would clear her doubts and then her happiness would be exceeding his.

He walked his mother back into the apartment and sat her diet, explaining all that had happened. He showed her the documents and how he just got employed by him.

When he told her about the new house they were moving into, Sara couldn’t hold back her tears of joy. She sniffled and the tears came. But through those tears, she smiled.

Jared told her it happened because Camilla made it happen. Sara wanted to say something, to tell Jared that her daughter Camilla was the sun that lightens their life.

But she couldn’t, she felt her voice choking and she couldn’t continue with her words. Jared knew how she felt, he felt the same way a while ago when he was before Justin Swaras.

Joel was surprised when Sara’s call came through that they were leaving and thanked him for his hospitality. She said someday, she would repay him for his kindness.

Joel asked if they got another apartment and Sara said yes. That way the call ended. Joel sighed. These people relocated?

Just that morning, the news of Camilla’s innocence was declared. They were going to be compensated by the Campbell’s family and assume nothing ever happened.

He expects them to accept compensation and use the money to help themselves while still looking for Camilla. But they still did not.

Looks like things are really going to be difficult for Rodrigo in a couple of months. If he cannot get Sara and Jared to forgive him, he might never receive forgiveness from Camilla wherever she is.

In City B, that evening, Eduardo was in the Anderson’s Mansion for dinner. He has come with his wife. The love existing between the two of them appeared inseparable.

When Camilla came downstairs, she saw Eduardo and her excitement took a hold on her. She went to him and threw herself at him in a hug.

“Thank you Eduardo, really grateful” she said, placing her head on his torso. The latter held her and smiled, “my pleasure little sister”

Their parents smiled and stood watching them. Jenny also was yet to know what Camilla was thanking her brother for.

When Camilla pulled away from the hug, her eyes were teary. She turned and told her parents what Eduardo had done. It made her happy.

Her parents smiled and said she’s the beauty of the home and whatever she wants must be granted. Maybe through any of her brothers or they, the parents.

That was it. From that day forward, Camilla accepted everyone as her family and treated them with love as she did her foster family.

Two weeks later, Rodrigo was in his office as usual. He had travelled out amidst the whole emotional trauma he went through and spent a fortnight.

That day was his return to the office again. He had made some decisions when he was away and would start executing them as soon as possible.

Some of those decisions centred on contacting Jared and Sara. Pleading with them and offering them a better replacement for the house and business he destroyed.

He would offer Jared a managerial position in the company and pay him more than anyone else, then start thinking of a possible way to join forces together and search for Camilla.

In all the hospitals they had no record of Camilla or any case similar to Camilla’s. They all believed that if she was poisoned or she poisoned herself, whatever is the case, they should find patients with such cases.

With so much blood found, there’s no way someone with such a condition can survive without the expertise of surgeons and healthcare.

But Camilla was not found. Rodrigo concluded that she was saved by someone. But who could that be?

While he was making the decisions and ready to begin the action that afternoon, he was informed by his new secretary that the company’s lawyer wants to see him.

Company’s lawyer? Which invariably was his personal lawyer. He squinted. What does he want?

Anyways, he nodded and asked that he should be allowed to come in. He called Joel and asked if anything happened in the company when he was away and the latter said no.

He said ok and hung up. But Joel was not comfortable with such a question and decided to see what was happening in Rodrigo’s office.

The lawyer walked in closely followed by his assistant. When Rodrigo saw him, he stood up. Tom Clancy was as old as his father.

As a matter of fact, he was the attorney who worked with his father and he inherited him after his father’s demise.

“Hello Brian’s Son” Tom Clancy said, taking Rodrigo’s hand. He was used to calling him Brian’s Son because according to him, he has never ceased to see Brian in Rodrigo.

“Good to you Attorney” Rodrigo replied. As he motioned for him to take a seat on the sofa. Tom did and his assistant did so as well.

Rodrigo walked out from behind his desk and took a seat. His secretary came in and prepared three glasses of coffee and presented it to them.

“It’s been a while,” Rodrigo said, initiating a conversation. Tom Clancy smiled and said maybe work was keeping them both away from spending time together.

Joel walked in and saw Tom Clancy. He walked closer to him and bowed to the older man.

“Good to see you again, Joel,” Tom Clancy said amist smile. He asked if he was married and Joel said yes. He has a little daughter as well.

Tom nodded and said he was impressed with the way he was living his life. He hoped that his boss would someday find a reason to live his life that way.

Joel thanked him and said he hoped so. He was going to leave when Tom asked that Rodrigo permit Joel to stay back and listen to the reason why he visited.

Rodrigo nodded. He really was expectant to why Tom Clancy visited. This visit was unannounced and not included in his activities for the day. Such an impromptu meeting was important.

“I wouldn’t want to waste your time, young Brian but have you gotten any news about your ex girlfriend Camilla Dickson’s whereabouts?” He asked with a tone that shows he felt unhappy about the whole thing.

He also read about Larry Campbell’s statement a few weeks ago and about Camilla’s disappearance. He only wishes that she is fine wherever she is.

“Nothing yet,” Rodrigo answered simply. Talking about Camilla always leaves him guilty of what he did to her. He could initiate the conversation but doesn’t want anyone else to do so.

Tom Clancy sighed. He would have helped, had intervened back then but the laws of his profession must be obeyed even in the face of death.

“Can I talk to you Rodrigo Campbell? Your father and I were almost like friends. Would you allow me to talk to you as if you are my son?” Tom Clancy asked and Rodrigo said yes, he should.

Tom Clancy thanked him and said “In life, I have seen love coming in different wraps in their description and demonstration, but I had never seen it the way Camilla wrapped her love for you.

I wish you hadn’t said those horrible words, that you had taken your time to investigate and had patiently found out how things turned out the way they are” Tom declared.

There was a needle dropping silence in the office. Joel closed his eyes and wished, Rodrigo had listened to him back then.

“Back to my work. As you all know me, I am attorney Tom Clancy. My client asked me to give you this parcel if she doesn’t come for it after three months.

Yesterday it has been three months since she gave the parcel to me and it is only ideal that I bring it to you,”Tom said beckoning to his assistant.

The fellow unzipped the suitcase in his hand and brought out a brown envelope properly sealed and handed it over to Tom Clancy.

The older man looked at the seal and the handwriting and asked his assistant to give it to Rodrigo. He did and the latter collected it.

Immediately he received it, he recognized it to be documents. The handwriting on the back of the envelope was Camilla’s addressing it to Rodrigo Campbell.

Rodrigo was dazed. From Camilla? He looked at Tom Clancy and the older man shrugged.

“Camilla brought this envelope to me a few hours before the Scandalous act went viral. She told me about the most cherished possession of the company.

But the summary of the content and her message to you is in this microchip. That’s how she called it, ‘summary’. I hope you find the answers that you seek Rodrigo Campbell” Tom Clancy declared.

Rodrigo was made to sign that he accepted both items after Tom’s assistant gave him the microchip.

After which Tom stood up and shook hands with Rodrigo before leaving. As soon as they left and shut the door, Rodrigo stood up and inserted the microchip into his laptop.

Camilla’s face came up. Dressed in the same clothes she wore on the day of the day she was arrested. Her eyes were red and puffy.

She was looking at the Camera and sniffled, moved her hair backwards and said “Rodrigo, if you are watching this without me by your side, it means we have been separated, world apart.

I am doing this at the risk of my life and that of my family. If I am caught, I don’t know what will happen to me. Maybe I will die or my mother and Jared will cease to exist.

I am keeping your documents safe but it will have to appear as if I stole it to keep the whole acting real. My family was kidnapped and in exchange for their lives, I have to provide the company’s documents.

I love my family and I love you very much too Rodrigo. The last thing I will ever do in this life is to hurt you.

I’ll rather die than make you feel hurt. Hence I had to play my cheese well. I will suffer but I must ensure that you and my family are safe.

If I lose my life because of this act, so be it. But promise me one thing that you will look after my mother and Jared?

Please Rodrigo, they are in your care now. My life makes no meaning if anything happens to you both. But protect them and keep them from future assault.

Promise me Rodrigo?( she raised her Pinky finger before the Camera As if wanting Rodrigo to intertwined it with his)

But there’s something I haven’t gotten the chance to tell you Rodrigo…( she paused and smiled through her tears)

I am pregnant. I realised I was pregnant a few days after you left. I wanted to tell you when you return but I don’t know if I will ever get the chance to tell you.

Wherever I am, maybe dead or alive when you will be watching this, I want you to know that I love you, I love you so much Rodrigo.

Words can’t express how much I loved you. From my entire being to the depth of my soul, I love you Rodrigo. I love you Rodrigo, I swear I love you.

(She sobs and make a sign of the heart with her hand) I love you forever”

The video ended with Camilla blowing out kisses and then blank.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
