Her son was now a grown up and beside him stood a lady whose baby bump was protruding. They held hands and Kimberly didn't need anyone to tell her that her son was married and expecting a baby.
"Mother?", "Son" the son and mother pair spoke simultaneously. The son ran towards her and lifted her off her feet and swirled around "I missed you so much mother" he exclaimed.
Camilla waited for Kimberly's return for hours and she never returned. That was how she waited an entire day and Kimberly never returned to her room.
Camilla perceived that she had been set free. It was sudden that she couldn't return to say goodbye. She wished Kimberly a good life as she returned to enjoy her freedom.
Perhaps one day, she will also become free again. And then she would go and find Kimberly. She slept that night lonely as the memory of the past flooded her mind and she sobbed until she slept off.
The following days became hell for Camilla. She was being tortured by those who were enemies to Kimberly. They claimed they won't give her a chance to become another Kimberly.
Camilla endured the torture, attacks and molestation. She wants to hold on because of her baby. She just can succumb to desperation or the thoughts of suicide that kept coming to her mind.
When she give birth to her baby, she might choose then to commit suicide, but for the time being, she would hold on.
Jared was now fully recovered. With the help of Joel, he got a job with an agency and started working. He needed to provide for his mother and himself.
He had told his mother that when he saved a little money, he would help her start her coffee business again. It's just them two alone.
He would keep saving until he's able to hire an international lawyer who would help them get Camilla out. He won't rest until he's sister is free again.
In City B, Eduardo had concluded on his project and contract. He's obtained what he was pursuing and now had a discussion with his parents. He would leave in two-week’s time to find his sister.
Aunt Clara had insisted that she was either running City A or she was dead already. But they all hope she didn't die. That they found her and brought her home to be with her family.
Steve Anderson was happy and said he was going to call his friend, the prime minister of City A to help in every way possible.
Eduardo said okay. They were family friends before Gaius Swaras went back to his country and contested for the position of a prime minister and he won.
Justin Swaras is Eduardo's friend. Though the latter was a year older than him, they were best of friends and despite the distance between them, they remained in close contact.
Susan's Joy Knows no bound. Eduardo was going to find his sister, she hopes he found her. That he would return with her and not that she's no longer alive.
Everything put in place, Eduardo was preparing to visit City A. Luke also was excited and would have loved to go with him but his brother insisted that he stayed behind and took care of the company.
Rodrigo was feeling suffocated already. Emma's extravagancy was almost choking him. Twice she had fired his cook and servants and brought in her own choice of cook and servants.
The entire company now knows that he was engaged. She flaunts herself around and scolds everyone and anyone who does not bow to her.
She even moved into Rodrigo's Mansion and ordered the servants to address her as Young madam. She was going to be married in a couple of days time and therefore, they should accord her that respect truly.
Lola had pressured Rodrigo to be married as soon as possible and raise kids. It would help him get over his past and become concentrated on his wife and family.
Emma also coaxed him to approve of it and reluctantly, Rodrigo agreed and the wedding is taking place in two weeks from that day.
Preparation was in earnest and everywhere, the news of Rodrigo's wedding was coming up. His picture and that of Emma featured on the front page of all magazines.
Rodrigo didn't trouble Camilla again but asked that no one should visit her again. In the public he appears to have forgotten about Camilla but privately he never stopped grieving in his heart.
He loves her, he still loves her but he has gotten to a point of no return. He will forever cherish the memories of their past together. That is all he has to live with.
He definitely would divorce Emma even if they were married. He knows she's rude and arrogant and does whatever is right only in her own sight and has no regards for anyone.
She had once fired Joel but for that he stood against her and told her she has no right to decide those he employed. It has caused a rift between them and now, she is picking a quarrel with him.
Rodrigo arrived home from the company that day and met Emma in the sitting room waiting for him. Her presence nauseated him alot and he was going to walked past her to the stairs when she said "we need to talk"
Rodrigo paused and looked at her. He said okay and needed to freshen up first. But Emma stood up and went after him.
Rodrigo doesn't use the master bedroom anymore. Each time he stepped into it, it reminded him of Camilla and it appeared her smell still lingers there.
For reasons he doesn't know, he didn't allow the servants to empty the room of all Camilla's things in there. Or they should have put a strong potent air freshener in the room to suppress any traces of Camilla's scent.
As he stepped into the room he now uses, Emma followed and shut the door behind.
"I told you I was coming after I freshen up. Why did you follow me here?" Rodrigo asked… feeling irritated already.
"What's the use of waiting? I will just wait and let you freshen up and let's talk" Emma declared and climbed into Rodrigo's bed.
Rodrigo frowned and stared at her with hostility "Are you crazy or something? What are you doing on my bed?" He queried.
Emma eyed him and hissed. "What's the big deal Rodrigo? Since you have chosen to go blind to my advances and deaf to my body language, I will talk to you directly.
That filthy thing that was your ex-girlfriend had every right to your body then. You allowed her to do whatever she likes and even slept on your bed. Why can't I?
I am not your girlfriend but your fiancée. I should have the right to your body more than Camilla. If she can sleep on your bed, I guess I should have more right to do so right?" Emma declared.
Rodrigo was angry "Now listen to me Emma. I had issues and sudden break up with Camilla that's why you had a chance. I didn't love you despite the frustrating engagement ceremony I had with you.
You are not my type of woman and your arrogance is getting to its limits. If you push me an inch further I throw you off exactly how I did to Camilla…" Rodrigo warned and asked her to get out of his room.
He ordered her to return to her parents’ house the next day. When he gets married to her, she could move in then. He didn't give her another chance before shutting the door on her.
Before Emma woke up the next morning, Rodrigo had travelled to Spain and would be back in two weeks’ time. When she checked, he would be back a day to the wedding ceremony.
She was filled with suspicion. Was he really going to stand her up and not come around until the wedding was just a day to go?
She knows what to do to silence Camilla forever from Rodrigo's heart. When the latter is dead, he would completely forget about her.
Her mother had warned her to ensure she does something to really terminate Camilla's pregnancy. Because they knew that she was pregnant even if no one else was.
Now, not only ensuring that her pregnancy was terminated, but that she herself should be expired. Camilla has to die and it has to be before the wedding ceremony.
Camilla has to die, she just had to die, and there are no two alternatives to that.
