Chapter 83: Run him over.
Justin hasn’t gone too far when he discovered a car was trailing him. But it didn’t appear to be an enemy because the plate number of the car was somewhat familiar.
He slowed down and parked by the side of the road. The car parked also and he kept looking from his rear view mirror to see who was going to step out of the car.
Not quite long, he saw the car door opened and the fellow step out. When he looked at the person’s face, he was dazed when he saw him to be none other than Rodrigo Campbell.
Oh, no wonder. That’s Rodrigo’s customised plate number. He recognized it well now. But what was he doing in City B and how did he know he was the one in the car despite it was tinted?
Seeing Rodrigo was walking towards his car, he opened his door and stepped out. The two men walked and meet midday?
“Rodrigo Campbell” Justin Swaras called, stretching his hand for a handshake and expecting that Rodrigo would take it, but reverse was the case.
Rodrigo just stared at his outstretched hand with a sneer and put his hands in his pants pocket. An act that appeared to be a slap on Justin Swaras.
“How would I have known that you knew about Camilla’s disappearance from prison back then and kept mute about it? You actually aided her escape and Eduardo took her away before dawn.
If I remembered correctly, you came to the wedding that I was supposed to have with Emma and yet overnight you had taken Camilla away from prison.
Is the Prime minister aware of your criminal act? That you stabbed the law from behind and yet come and stand before the citizens as if nothing happened. Tell me why you did that?” Rodrigo inquired, his facial expressions devoid of any forms of emotions.
Justin already offended but the way Rodrigo snubbed him, almost flare up immediately. He knew exactly how it happened.
He had made Camilla escape prison and Eduardo took her away. But did he made her escape or he rescued her? He definitely have rescued her otherwise, Camilla would definitely must have been forgotten.
“Who gave you the right to question me? And besides, who the fuck do you think you are to attribute my actions to a criminal act? I was responsible for Camilla’s disappearance from prison so what?”Justin Swaras snapped back at him.
He had wanted to go friendly with him at first but since he embarrassed him by not taking his hand for a handshake, he also will disrespect him.
“So what you said Justin Swaras? You made the entire city go upside down in search of a woman who no one is sure if she was dead or alive and you asked me so what?
Do you listen to yourself when you talk? You knew Camilla was my woman right? You Know she is the mother of my kids as well right?
You think I will be quiet after discovering this truth? That you took my woman and my unborn babies away from where I could reach them and you feel no remorse about it?”Rodrigo words were chilling as he spoke every single word in his typical hoarse voice.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Justin Swaras chuckled aloud. “Is there anything else you want to say? I am asking because if you trail me this far so as to ask this question of helping Camilla leave prison, then the answer is yes”Justin replied and turned to walk out of Rodrigo when the latter spoke again:
“Stay away from Camilla” Rodrigo commanded. He seemed to feel very uncomfortable with Justin and Camilla being together.
“What made you think I would listen to you?” Justin Swaras asked. He is not afraid of Rodrigo. He might be respected in City A as the youngest billionaire, he was not afraid of him.
“I don’t need to think before I know you won’t dare mess around with me. You should be afraid of what I am capable of doing to your father’s political career and the fact that Camilla was my woman, she can only be mine” Rodrigo declared and turned around to left.
He got into his car just as Justin also slipped into he’s. He was furious. How dare Rodrigo threaten him? He would regret what he said that day.
As far as he is concerned, he will ensure that he drifted Camilla and Rodrigo far apart. He would make her fall in love with him and thereby pushing Rodrigo far apart from her.
Such nonsense. He might think he is wealthy and handsome, but he is not bad as well. He also was well to do and whatever he can, he must have Camilla to himself.
As Justin Swaras was thinking of how to deal with Rodrigo, the latter was thinking of ways to win Camilla back and not to get carried away with Justin.
She loved him. Love doesn’t die that easily. He knows within himself that he loves her still and he doesn’t know if he could ever love someone else besides her.
She told him that she loves him forever. This was the time to know if she still loves him. He wants to meet her and sincerely apologise to her for what he’s done to her.
The office scenario which is their first meeting after that incident expressed her grief. When next he meets her, she would be a little calmer and maybe then, he would be able to talk to her and explain things to her.
Camilla loves him, he is certain of that. He would find her again. He would ensure he meet her alone, the both of them s that he can talk to her about everything.
Eventually, Jared arrived and Camilla had Sara taken to the hospital straight away. The Hilltop Specialist hospital belong to the Anderson and she let her mother be taken there.
Susan and Steve Anderson were already aware that Sara was critically ill and therefore came to the hospital to see their daughter’s mother.
“How’s your mother Camilla dear” Susan Anderson asked, as she stood outside the intensive care unit where the doctors were attending to Sara.
Jared had taken Mirabel to lodge in a hotel. They just arrived and didn’t want to cause any issue right away between his wife and sister.
“The doctors are attending to her, mum” Camilla answered and went to hug her mother and then went to her dad. She looked to be agitating and afraid that something bad would happen to her mother.
Her parents then assured her that everything will be fine. Her mother was going to recover and whatever needed to be done and any amount of money they had to spend, they would provided Sara would be fine.
They asked after Jared and she said he would be here soon. He asked to be excused for some time. That way, Sara spent three days still in the hospital before she was allowed to see her family.
Being alone when Jared has gone to the hospital, Mirabel thought of telling her family that she was married. She thought of who to call first and decided to call Rodrigo.
He was waiting at the front of The Anderson cooperation for her to pass by. He already knows her family home but doesn’t want to show himself there without Camilla’s consent.
He tried calling her but she blocked him straight away when she realized he was the one calling. He tried chatting with her on WeChat, but the same, she blocked him.
Joel tried calling her but she wasn’t interested in talking to Joel as well. Hence he needed to find some way to talk to her even if it’s just give minutes.
Rodrigo saw Mirabel’s call and he answered it, telling her to give him sometime. He would call her back.
It was almost the time that Camilla comes to the company. It wasn’t quite another five minutes when he saw her car coming towards the giant gate to the company.
He came out of his car and stood, stood at a strategic point where he had to move away for the car to go through. Atleast, the chauffeur wouldn’t dare to run him through.
When they got to the spot, the chauffeur honked with a beep! beep! But Rodrigo didn’t care but stood with his hands folded.
Eventually, Camilla wind down her windshield and looked at Rodrigo. Then he walked over and asked that she give him just give minutes of her time.
Camilla just stared at her like he was done beggar and a nonentity. She sneered and watched him without a look of someone they once knew each other.
“Camilla please all I want is to talk to you” Rodrigo pleaded and this time, he clasp his hands together in pleas but that seemed to enraged her.
“What do you want with me? Why are you after me? I have moved on with my life and I expect you to move on? What else do you want to say to me?” Camilla demanded with a glare.
Rodrigo knew she was angry. He sighed and said “Please, I just want to talk to you and I’m not going to take your time too long” he pleaded further.
This was going to the extreme for Rodrigo. He was still the arrogant, billionaire that Camilla used to know. But he learned to humble himself to be able to talk to her.
This is crossing every limit and allowing his personality to be trampled over. He just have to do it. And that very morning, he drove himself to meet with her.
Joel was not there and non of his bodyguards were there. He wore a plain shirt on a black pants and he looked simple not like the almighty Rodrigo that he was.
Eduardo had noticed Rodrigo’s presence from the CCTV camera in his office. He had asked that Eric go and hide, ensure that he knows why Rodrigo was there.
It wasn’t long that Eric left that he saw Camilla arrived. He couldn’t hear their conversation but from the way the guy clasp his hands together, it appears he was pleading with Camilla.
He decided to Meet her there, perhaps because Camilla had asked that he never step his foot into the premises of the cooperation again.
But he wished his sister doesn’t disgrace him there before the employees and the securities. He is the father of her kids after all.
“I don’t know you okay. I can’t give bastards like you a minute out of my time. And besides, do you want me to step out of the car because of you?
I guess you won’t want it. If I step out of the car, you would hate what I would do to you or ask the securities to do to you…”Camilla declared and was going to wind up when Rodrigo placed his hand on the shield preventing it from winding up.
“All I want is for you to forgive me. I am sorry I treated you badly back then. I regretted everything I did to you and I seek only your pardon. Please forgive me.
I may not deserve it but for the sake of the love you had for me, please forgive me. I beg you to forgive me. I still love you very much and I want you to forgive me..” Rodrigo was pleading, his fingers still stopping the windshield from rolling up.
But when he said he loved her, Camilla seemed to list her mind by that sentence. She angrily pressed the automatic button and the windshield came up suddenly but before Rodrigo realised it, he removed his fingers quickly except the middle finger who got stucked.
In pain, Rodrigo tried pulling that finger out out. But at the base of the nail, where it grew out of the finger received the main pressure and it broke, causing a gushing if blood as Rodrigo finally pulled the finger put.
The blood splashed on Camilla’s dress but Rodrigo succeeded in removed the finger. The pain he felt was terrible but he endured it.
He was bleeding from that finger and for some seconds, Rodrigo just raised the finger up seeing his blood gushing out.
Seeing her dress was stained with Rodrigo’s blood, Camilla was furious ” Where are the securities, who let this beggar come near the company’s gate?” She now again wind down the windshield.
Meanwhile she was yelling at the top of her voice “see what he’s done to my dress? He came to beg me for money and ended up smearing my dress with his blood.
You all are going to lose your jobs if this happens again” with fury in her voice, she commanded her chauffeur, “make a reverse and run this bastard over!”
The chauffeur was a middle aged man and was worried about the man already and now, the boss asked him to run over the man?
“Run him over or you lose your job?” She commanded and glared at the man angrily. The man loves his job and he has three daughters and a sick wife.
If he lose his job, how will he take care of his family? He reversed and Rodrigo didn’t move, he was yet to believe the woman talking was Camilla.
The next thing he knew was that he heard a sound which seemed very loud on his ears gbaaaa!!
At this time, Eric couldn’t watch from the sidelines again. He came forward and raised his hand angrily to stop the chauffeur from moving the car an inch further or Rodrigo would be crushed.
Eduardo was shocked at the action that happened. This doesn’t look like an accident but what happened, the chauffeur wants to kill Rodrigo? Has he lost his mind?
Camilla was shivering. What had she done. She killed Rodrigo? She was still shivering when she saw him stood from the front of the car.
His head was wounded and he was bleeding. He held his right hand side and Eric knew he needed to help him.
He came over to help him but Rodrigo said ” I still want to talk to Camilla, just for once”
