M.I N.E endless Love

Chapter 19: I want a divorce



When Eric returned to the sitting room, he saw Jenny, being held in a tight hug by the eldest woman among the servants. The Mansion houses an annex building at the extreme end of the Mansion.

It’s like a quarter and that’s why all his house employees lived, especially those that are single. Single, having lost their spouses or unmarried. That was where the eldest of the servants lived and was summoned.

Elena James is a middle aged woman who is a widow but a single mother. She works as the cook and also one of Eduardo’s favourite employees. She was holding Jenny and consoling her.

When Eric stood to bid her farewell, he couldn’t send any condolences because her mother was not dead. Even if she doesn’t know that, he and Eduardo know her mother is going to be fine.

” Please be calm Madam. Everything is going to be fine” he declared and went away. He can’t say more than that. Her mother was going to be alright soon.

” I will help you to your room madam” Elena James said, helping Jenny to her feet and assisted her to her room. She got her warm water ready in the bath and encouraged her to take a bath.

” Thank you Elena, you can return to your room” Jenny requested. Elena James asked if she can sleep without being worried and Jenny said yes.

She made her sleep and covered her with a quilt. Then went out. Jenny remained eyes open and sobbed quietly. ” Mum, I will miss you forever” she sobbed quietly, hugging herself in self pity.

Eduardo’s study was attached to his bedroom. He could walk into it without stepping out of his bedroom. He took his bath, had his dinner before he decided to strode into his study. He sat down to do some work but couldn’t.

The first time, he took it as an assumption. But the second time, it wasn’t, his mind wasn’t playing pranks on him. He perceived the scent of her body, it was similar to that lady that saved his life.

The lady he has been looking for. The only thing he knew was her body scent. She uses the cheap gardenia perfume. The same scent he perceived on her when he made her sit on his thighs at the wedding and that evening, when she fell at his feet.

Is it a coincidence? Could she be the same person that night?, The one he has been looking for. No one seemed to know any girl with that name around that place. They’ve searched and don’t understand why she has the same body scent as that lady.

He would look into it. He sent a message to Eric, he should work on that as well. The one lady he was looking for might be the same person sharing his Mansion with him.

Rodrigo arrived at his Mansion and went to have a warm bath. He eventually didn’t know what the content of Camilla and his mother’s discussion was about. He would ask her the next day. He knows his mother better than anyone else.

Two days later

Jared was through with his finals and Camilla was so happy and satisfied. She left the office earlier than usual and came to pick her mother from her coffee shop.

Rodrigo had bought her a sports car and she could move about freely. Her mother was surprised and asked her why she said she should close her shop earlier. Camilla said it’s for a reason.

She was excited. Finally she’s going to do what she ought to have done if she hadn’t made the greatest mistake of her life when she gave up her lifetime savings to Felix Freeman to save his mother.

She drove her mother from the coffee shop and went to get Jared from the school gate. She had called him to wait for her, she was coming over to pick him. When Camilla arrived, she alighted and came over to hug her brother ” Congratulations Jared”

Jared was happy “thanks Jenny” he replied and hopped into the car. His mother was happy and congratulated him as well. The family of three were happy and Sara has a feeling that her daughter was going to give them a surprise.

Eventually, Camilla drove into a fenced yard with a beautiful bungalow in it. It was decorated with flowers and had a small garden. She drove her car and parked in the parking lot before stepping out.

Sara waited, where are they and why did Camilla drive them into? She knows this isn’t Rodrigo’s house, he lived in a big Mansion, at least that was what Camilla told her.

Jared also said nothing until Camilla walked over, held the door for her mother to step out and did the same for Jared. Jared was already guessing that Camilla was in for a surprise.

She walked them both to the front of the house and unlocked the door with her fingerprints. Sara squinted, her daughter opened the door with her fingerprints?

They three filed in and Camilla said “Mum, Jared, I bought this house for us” Camilla announced. That day appeared to be the happiest day of her life. This is a dream come through. This has always been her mother’s silent heart desires and she wished she could give her what her heart yearns for.

” What did you say Camilla?” Sara asked, her countenance brightened up and she was looking at the beautifully decorated sitting room. On the wall hung a large portrait of herself and her two kids.

“I said, ” I bought this house for us. Enough of being an occupant in someone else’s house. We now own our house” Camilla reaffirms her news and her mother couldn’t say anything. Her eyes welled up in tears and she just hugged Camilla.

She sniffled and the two women remained in a hug. Jared screamed for joy and didn’t bother to hug Camilla but went about checking the apartment. The bedrooms, the kitchen, the beauty of such a portable house.

Finally, they now own their house. When he was done, checking everywhere he returned and jumped on Camilla hugging her ” you are the best sis, you are the best” Jared chimed, do excited.

Sara was happy, what would she have done without her daughter Camilla. She’s a gift designed from the heavens to her. She joined the two kids and they three hugged each other.

“Do you like it mum, Jared!” Camilla asked. She wished it was something like a Villa or Mansion like Rodrigo’s but she doesn’t have money to afford that. Someday, she would become a super woman and then, she would buy such a house for her family.

“What are you saying? Like it? You mean to ask if I love it right? Yes, I do greatly” Sara asked and smiled. Camilla was happy that her mother liked it. She would have bought a house a long time ago but she was being stupid and thought it was love.

She used her entire savings to save Felix Freeman’s mother. She had a heart disease and needed to be operated upon. Felix had nothing at the time and she couldn’t watch her death. She gave up her savings and saved his mother. But today he was married to the person she thought used to be her friend.

The rest of the day was a Merry time for Camilla and her family. She was happy. That kind of happiness that comes along with being satisfied with what one has done.

Since that incident about Jenny and Eduardo, they hadn’t crossed paths for two days. Jenny would not come out of her room and Eduardo couldn’t go there to check on her.

He often asks Elena James questions about how Jenny was feeling and even asked if she needed to see a doctor but the latter would say she’s fine, just not recovered from the trauma of losing her mother.

That evening, Jenny called her uncle. She tried calling him the day that incident occurred but he wouldn’t answer his phone. He never called her like he promised. She decided to call, because she wanted to know where her mother was buried.

Her uncle answered his phone this time and said he was sorry not to have called her like he promised. He was going to call her the next day and take her to her mother’s cemetery.

Jenny said ok. She would be expecting his call. She was also going to see Eduardo that evening when he returned from the company. She hadn’t seen him in days. There’s no use tolerating, she wants it to end.

While Jenny was making a decision in her heart what to do, Eduardo was shocked by what Eric told him. The woman from that night was Jenny. Confirmed.

“Are you sure?” Eduardo asked, wanting to get proof that he was telling the truth. The woman he had been looking for was Jenny? No wonder he couldn’t find her all these weeks. Finally, she is found and she’s his wife.

” Yes boss. The surveillance camera of that street and alley was interrupted by the enemy, but they didn’t tamper with the one that leads there nor the one that leads out of there.

She gave a fake Name. When he investigated her house, I discovered that she was out of the house that day and returned back when it was dark. The surveillance of her street home was also taken, and all pointed at her” Eric explained.

Eduardo was speechless. What a coincidence? He would treat her better henceforth and wouldn’t be hard on her again. She possibly didn’t know he was the man because he was having legs that night and her husband was cripple. She probably would dispute it if the thoughts come to her mind.

He was glad. Just as he cleared this issue on ground, he hoped to find his sister and the one who had been after him. The person might have gone into hiding, he would start his evilness soon.

Eduardo drove to the home where the midwife who was the nurse on duty the day his sister was born. She is retired now but she is the only one that can give clues about that incident.

When he arrived, the midwife was called out. The eldest young master of the Anderson family was there to see her. She knew Eduardo had a hot temper. Ever since this case started, he had never come personally. She wished this was not happening to her.

She had heard he was no nonsense person. She came out and bowed before him. He was cripple and uses a wheelchair. Hence he was inside the car while she stood outside.

“Hello young master” she bowed slightly. She doesn’t know what he came for though. She had explained all that happened that day and doesn’t know anything again.

“Rather than answer, Eduardo said “you are the nurse on duty the day my sister was born right?” He asked authoritatively. He had to act as arrogant and merciless as possible.

“Yes, young master,” Bianca answered. Her name was Bianca. The nurse on duty the day Mrs Anderson had her daughter. She was said to be the one that announced that the baby was dead.

“Lilliana is your eldest daughter who was graduating from the university in a week’s time. She lives in E8F, crescent street railway road and scholed in the City University. Studying Administration, and majoring in Office Management science. Born 25th of March..”Eduardo continued reading when Bianca pleased.

“Sir, what can I do for you, I am ready to answer your questions to the best of my knowledge” she cried out. That means he knows everything about her daughter. He would get her and hurt her. If he could know all these, her daughter would not be safe.

“A life will go for a life. If my sister is dead, let me know. If she’s alive, let me know as well. Otherwise, your daughter will also go missing and you would never findbehr for the rest of your fucking life” Eduardo threathened.

Bianca kneeled down on the bare ground “if I know anything different from what I have been saying all these years, I will say it. I don’t know anything else” she explained.

She had taken the delivery and went to keep the baby in the nursery when she was hit on her head. When she woke up again, she found herself on the floor. She stood up and was surprised no one came during the period she fainted.

She looked around and the baby was gone. She doesn’t know how to inform the child’s parents about what happened hence she came back and told them the baby was dead. The doctor also confirmed her statement. They lost the baby.

The child’s mother had insisted that her baby was alive, she knew it. She is not feeling sad or agreeing that her child was dead. But No evidence and hence she was forced to believe the wrong.

But a few years ago, the truth came to limelight when a certain person exposed what happened and told them their baby back then was still alive but they could never find her.

She heard the eldest master went in search of his sister when he was involved in an accident and became cripple. She doesn’t know anything else, but why wouldn’t they believe her?

“To prove that you are not a part of the conspiracy to wink a child away from her parents, you should know something, a clue, an observation or anything that we can work on and find my sister” Eduardo demanded.

Bianca was shivering. Her daughter’s life was going to be used in exchange for this. She didn’t remember anything about the whole attack back then.

“I don’t know or remember anything” Bianca insisted. She was searching her brain for answers. What can she remember?

“Ok then. I will not remember anything about your daughter’s disappearance” Eduardo said simply and whined. His bodyguards were in their numbers but Eric often dives him or his chauffeur.

He was going to ask the chauffeur to mov when Bianca remembered something. She knocked on the screen and Eduardo wined down. “I remember something, but it might be insignificant…”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Happy about his evening, Eduardo came back home. he was going to see Jenny from a different perspective. She was his life saver. He would henceforth try to make her happy.

He got in and didn’t see Jenny around. He was already used to not seeing her in the sitting room to welcome him. He was wheeled to his bedroom. He had a shower and changed into a different clothes before he was wheeled downstairs for dinner.

He was surprised when he saw Jenny seated at the dinning. She looked lean and lonely. He felt a pinch of sympathy for her. She’s suffering he knows but he doesn’t want to tell her about her mother yet.

She murmured words that sounded like how have you been? He replied her calmly

Unable to resist the tucking in him, he asked “how have you been?”

Jenny raised her head and glared at him, he asked her how she’s doing? That is a sign that she was making the right decision “Is there anything you want to say?” Eduardo asked, looking at her face and guessing that she was waiting to have a discussion with him.

“Yes, I am waiting for you. We need to talk” Jenny said and glanced at him. Will he accept or will he not accept? She doesn’t know. But she has to try, pull some strings. After all, she has the right to make her own decision.

“Eduardo nodded. Alright go ahead” he requested and Jenny sighed, looked into his eyes and said ” I want a divorce!”
