M.I N.E endless Love

Meanwhile in the Office, An elegant woman stepped out of the elevator with graceful steps and walked towards the President’s office.

Eduardo was behind his desk when there was a call from his secretary, he answered and said she should come in.

Mrs Anderson walked into her son’s office and Eduardo raised his head off his computer. He smiled and clasped his hands together.

“Eduardo dear” Mrs Anderson said and smiled. She walked over and sat in front of her son. She needed to talk to him privately and hence, she came to find him in the office.

“It’s good to see you, mother,” Eduardo replied. He pressed a certain button from under his desk and his secretary came in almost immediately.

She doesn’t need to be told. When a visitor came to visit the President and he summoned her, she was to prepare coffee immediately first before doing anything else.

She got two glasses of coffee and presented it to them. Eduardo then dismissed her, leaving him and his mother alone.

” How have you been, Mother?” Eduardo asked. He can’t remember when he last saw his mother happy, as in sincerely happy. She might put up a pretence but being really happy it’s been years.

When his sister was born, his mother was told her baby was dead. They had lived with that lie for so many years until a few years ago, when she was seventeen years old, did they have a clue that she was not dead.

They’ve been looking for her since then. They would have made more progress but he was involved in an accident that kind of slowed him down.

” I haven’t been fine for years now Eduardo and you know it” Mrs Anderson was sincere, she can’t imagine her daughter growing with a different identity.

“I will find your daughter, mother, and my sister will return home to you soon. All I am asking is that you give me a little more time” Eduardo persuaded.

He had long found out useful information about her. From the research done so far, he hasn’t found anyone who knows anything about the whole thing.

He had spread his tentacles and if he couldn’t find her in that city, he would go and find that midwife again in jail. She must know something about his sister’s whereabouts.

” How much longer do I have to wait son? Am I going to grow old and die without setting my eyes on my dear daughter?” Mrs Anderson complained.

The midwife had confessed to the truth that her daughter was not dead. But she knows next to nothing about it. Where on Earth then is her daughter?

“Relax mother. I promise. Even if that’s the last thing I do, I will bring your daughter to you” Eduardo said, crossing his heart and his mother smiled, she wiped her tears off.

“I will pay that old midwife a visit again. She might remember something, anything that might lead us to her” Mrs Anderson suggested.

“No, I will visit her this time. Leave everything in my hands. And wait with your arms folded, I will bring your daughter to you” Eduardo assured her.

“I believe in you Eduardo” Mrs Anderson said, smiling and sniffling as well. She was going to see her someday. She doesn’t know how excited she would feel, but she’s going to tag that day the happiest day of her life.

Eduardo was pleased with his mother’s cheerful smile. She gets cheerful when she comes to him. He can’t afford to see her look so depressed.

“How’s father?” Eduardo asked and his mother said he is fine. Except that he also longs to hold his daughter in his arms as well. They both look forward to seeing their daughter for the first time in her life.

Eduardo told her to tell his father the Same thing he told her. They both should be calm, he could make it easier if he asks his father’s bodyguards to find her or announce it on the various Television stations and newspapers but it wouldn’t be good for her mother if eventually she’s fine.

” I just wish that she was still alive. I know my daughter is still alive because I feel her heartbeats when I think about her” Mrs Anderson self assured herself.

” She’s alive, I believe. Don’t worry, she’s alive” he was confident about it. He also wished that she’s alive and found her. Otherwise, his parents wouldn’t live good days anymore before their death.

Mrs Anderson nodded. She then asked Eduardo ” how is your wife” she asked and Eduardo nodded, saying she was fine when he left his Mansion that morning.

His mother didn’t ask any further questions. Eduardo was compelled by his parents to go ahead and be married to the Davis family daughter. They didn’t know she was going to find a substitute bride for his wife.

Soon, she stood up and announced that she was leaving. She walked over and planted a featherlight kiss on her son’s temple and said goodbye.

She left not long after Eduardo received a call from one of his bodyguards. That bodyguard was assigned to trail Jenny and found out where she goes and who she meets.

The bodyguard informed Eduardo that madam went to the hospital after she left the Mansion and stayed there for a while. She went to see a woman who was in a coma.

From there she left and went to the grocery store. By The activities that took place at the store, it would be better if he watched and listened to it by himself.

Eduardo said ok. He could send the recording to him but find out who that woman was that she visited. He must get him answers before nightfall.

Martin stepped out of the elevator as Soon as it stopped. He was heading to his car, it was annoying and humiliating how things turned out to be.

” Martin, don’t be upset, ” Ella declared, stepping into the car along with Martin. She knew he felt unhappy how it was discovered that his daughter started the whole fuss.

” Ella, you dragged me into this mess. I had told you earlier that I am not going to accompany you to do this, but you insisted that I come along…” Martin was voicing out his displeasure.

“Emma is our baby. We can’t let her be ridiculed by anyone. We had to support her openly outside and scold her in private” Ella was saying when Martin swore never to be a part of such nonsense again.

After the conference that morning, Rodrigo was so busy with work that he didn’t get to see her for the entire day till the day was over.

When he left the office, his grandfather told him to stop by the glass house before going home. When he stopped by, he saw the displeasure all over his grandfather when he walked into the sitting room.

He doesn’t need to be told nor did he have to ask what happened. The news of what happened between Emma and Camilla must have reached their ears. They were displeased that he didn’t take sides with Emma against Camilla.

“Why didn’t you do the right thing when the tussle between Your future fiance and that trash got your attention? A man should protect what belongs to him and not behave the way you did..” how grandfather queried him.

Rodrigo pinched the bridge between his eyes. That is it. The reason he was summoned by his grandfather was to scold him for doing the right thing?

“Of course I did what was right. I only exhibit what I am made of. Telling the truth and being transparent enough. You are also right grandfather that aan should protect what belongs to me.

I didn’t even remember that when I stood for the truth. Weren’t you told that I ensured that everyone got justice and the victim was apologised to?”Rodrigo explained, pretending not to know where his grandfather was driving his point to.

“Don’t play dumb Rodrigo. How can you claim that Emma was wrong while that girl was right? You dragged your future wife in for that girl? How can you do that Rodrigo?

Emma has been humiliated. You need to apologise to her for what you have done. You have to make it up to her and you have to do it as soon as possible”Grandfather Anderson Requested.

Rodrigo chuckled aloud. What is his grandfather saying? He should apologise to Emma for what? He stood up, his hands in his pants pocket.

“Grandfather you should realise by now that I don’t care a bit about Emma, I am in love with someone else and I told you that already. Emma was wrong when she poured hot meals on Camilla.

Why would not stand in defence of the right? When do you start getting entangled with injustice, grandfather? If you think I was wrong, then let the attorney take up the case.

Emma’s parents were there. If their daughter was not wrong, do you think they would not stand up for their daughter if she was treated unfairly? Let this whole thing be resolved grandfather.

I cannot marry Emma, that is just the truth. Let her find her man and not give her false hope that I will leave Camilla and be married to her” Rodrigo declared, looking unhappy.

“I have spoken and you have to follow what I laid down. I have promised her grandfather. You can make me a list Rodrigo!” Grandfather Anderson spoke with indignation.

“I wasn’t there when you made a promise to her grandfather. You can’t impose your will on me grandfather. I am interested in being with that arrogant brat you called your friend’s granddaughter.

Find a way to fulfil your promises but don’t get me involved grandfather. I don’t want to meddle in your relationship with your late friend. But in this 21st century, nonone is going to make me do what I don’t want to, ” Rodrigo declared and simply walked out.

“Stop there Rodrigo!” It was Lola , his mother who spoke, standing by the stairs and listening to the conversation between her son and father in law.

Rodrigo paused. He didn’t look back, just stood and not taking any steps further. Lola walked down and walked to stand in front of her son.

“If you refuse to be engaged with Emma, find someone else Rodrigo. That girl has no name, has no identity, her life cannot be traced to any history. You can’t be married to her.

I won’t let her be the young lady of this family. You need to consider class and family before giving your heart to any woman. Is that clear?” Lola asked, glaring at her son.

Rodrigo snarled, he was unhappy. He is usually unhappy when anyone tells him Camilla has no identity. Why does everyone have to know about her in such a way?

Why couldn’t that part of her be hidden? Must everyone in the city and country know where she was gotten from? He doesn’t get well with such utterances against her.

“Love is a feeling of the heart mum. It has no regard to name or identity. When it fills your heart, such a flimsy reason doesn’t hold water. She is going to be my wife and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.

She has non-identity when she saved me and saved the reputation of this family. You should be grateful to her, everyone in this family. She is the best thing that has ever happened to me” Rodrigo retute his mother.

She has been saved. He either would have ended up with an arranged slut who would take the recording of his unconscious state and his Enemy spread all over the internet and ruined his reputation and that of the company.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Or end up a vegetable and waste away. Which is important to you then? In such cases, what would my identity have been able to do for me, can it save me like she did? This was not her thoughts either, she forgot she had no name nor history to be traced, when she risked her life to save me mum…” Rodrigo explained.

Lola felt a little uncomfortable with her son’s words. She happened to know about the whole incident after Rodrigo crumpled the hotel and sent the mastermind of that plot to jail. He suddenly was framed with drug peddling and without any way to defend himself he was sent to jail.

The family of the accused discovered it was Rodrigo Campbell who was revenging. They came to her to plead with her son. That was when she heard all the story.

” She did well, I agree. But compensate her for her kindness. That’s enough for a poor thing like her. Not to think you are indebted to her for the rest of your life” Lola cautioned.

” That’s exactly what I am doing, compensate her with my body” Rodrigo declared and walked away. He can’t stand it anymore. He would not be coming to see his mother for a long time to come.

She’s provoked him already. If Camilla was her daughter, what would she think of her so unhealthy? She is someone else’s daughter and she was born exactly how every other person was born.

Besides, she is not to be blamed for her parents or mother’s negligence and abandonment. She is the victim and should not be blamed.

As he stepped into the car, he remembered he needed to see someone that night…
