Capítulo 22: Chapter Twenty Two
Carmen :)
I and Camila's parents were waited at the car park for the driver to come take us home. The driver who was Strength, a security guard that Jenkins had assigned to me as a pre-wedding gift. The wedding ground was now deserted of the few guests that attended. Charles appeared before the driver, coming straight at me.
"You didn't plan with those girls to come wreck this marriage did you ?" Charles bitterly asked in a low threatening as he reached my side.
"Charles ! How can you even think that ! I know you've been watching me so what time would I have had to convince that aggressive lady, then sit down for a negotiation with her to come ruin this. And as for Camila's friend I don't even know her...wait ! Why the fuck am I even explaining myself to you ?" I replied getting pissed off right now. How could he accuse me of that? ...but then again who cares still? I wish the girl is really pregnant so the wedding can be properly called off.
"Just hope this isn't one of your tricks Carmen else...trust me you'll be sorry" Charles warned with a killer gaze then walked off. This guy must be crazy right ?.
"Wow, just wow. So now I have the power to get Michael's girl pregnant and urge her to come here with a pregnancy report ?" I said even as Charles had walked off.
"Hey don't speak to him that way" Juliana said.
I'd lash out at her but I knew she meant good. We all just had to suck up to his nonsense.
"That girl was Camila's best friend when she was in London. They were together throughout her schooling so they are really close." Juliana reasoned.
"Okay but I don't know her" I say
"Nobody is saying you do. Stuff just happened and she got here" Martin chipped in.
'The big question is how ?' I thought to my self. Her parents wouldn't plan this, so who would ?.
Strength drove over to us and we got in and rode to their house.
We got home and I walked straight to my room as I was too exhausted and wished to be on my own. Juliana held me back.
"Come with me Strength will stay in the guest room and you can stay at...Camila's room" she said.
I wish I didn't have to make her do this but we don't know I Strength is a spy planted by Jenkins. We lot had so much at stake right now.
I got into Camila's room and marveled at the beautiful sight. This was dream my room growing up. Back at home I had to share the room with Bianca and my brother. It was contested for me cause I craved my own space...my own private hole.
Her room had light pink walls. A white vanity that had a chair that was also white and a princess bed. The room was quite spacious and the bedroom window view was beautiful. As I moved around, i noticed that Camila's mom was watching me. I had t shut the door properly. Juliana came in and hugged me for a while.
"We'll all get through this" she said and left without hearing a response from me. I was too shocked to even share a response.
"I hope things turn out well. Is Megan's pregnancy a good thing can I wiggle myself out of this scenario if she really is pregnant. I guess I can finally leave this , wow calls for celebration. Is there champagne anywhere"
I snuck downstairs to the dining. I turned on the lights and was shocked to see Juliana drinking in the dark room.
"Geez" I exclaimed. I didn't expect that.
"Sorry for the scare. Why are you here ?" She asked.
After hugging me she must have missed her daughter. I'd have reached out and hugged her now but I was scared she'd think I was trying to replace her daughter.
"I needed a drink" I replied.
"Grab a beer from the fridge and join me" she offered and I got to the fridge and grabbed a can of beer.
I sat down opposite her and popped my can open.
"Hmmm" I say relaxing into the chair after taking a swig from the can.
"I'm scared the plan won't work out" she spilled and I could see fear flicker in her eyes.
'Oh I forgot Camila's parents needed this plan to sustain their daughter. I wonder how hard it was for them"
"Me too..." I half heartedly said. " if you don't mind me asking how is Camila ?"
"She's fine...getting better by the grace of God" Julianna sadly shared.
"Is she still on life sustenance ?" I curiously asked hoping her situation wasn't too dire.
"Why do you ask?"
"So in case the plan fails she can still recover on her own right"
"It shouldn't" Juliana affirmed staring daggers at me " she needs this to get better. Charles is paying experts to work on her case. Do you know how hard it is to watch your only child laying on a bed like a vegetable for months, the sight is heartbreaking every fucking time"
"I'm sorry" I said.
She drank the last of her drink.
"Once my daughter gained her sanity and actually opened her eyes" Juliana recalled staring into space "The doctor said she was out of coma and before we knew it her eyes shut close again"
"What could have made her fall back into it" I wondered.
"Shock, medical reasons and stuff"
"Oh, she'll be fine one of these days"
"Yeah, I'm going in now" Mrs Rodrigo said and.
I drank my beer.
"Please don't ruin this for us...I can't lose my child" Juliana said as she got to the foot of the stairs.
'I'm sure they'll figure it out and poor Camila will get better. I really want out of this plan so my sister can be safe"
I trashed the two can beers.
"What child are you talking about" I overheard a feminine voice asked. Strength!
How much as she heard from our conversation?.
Juliana didn't want me ruining this but she was on the verge of ruining it herself. I have to think of something....
