M.I N.E endless Love

Camilla saw the beautiful wedding dress Lilliana had on. The bouquet of flowers she was holding, the megawatt smile on her face and glittering wedding ring she had on.

Felix also had a similar ring on his fingers, just like his bride. He looked more handsome in his expensive suite. The couple were walking towards their car when Camilla walked towards them.

Suddenly she called “Felix!” . Felix heard his name and the voice that called him cannot be mistaken. Even in his dreams, he would recognize Camilla’s voice.

Lilliana also heard her husband’s name and looked, trying to find who called when she sighted Camilla. Felix also paused when he saw her.

The three adults looked at each other. Felix felt guilty and looked away. His heart seemed to beat very fast. The hour he dreaded had come. The hour he would look into Camilla’s face and feel her pain.

He had broken her heart. He knew and from the puffy, swollen red eyes before him, he knew she had almost cried her eyes out. He had kept it secret from her but at the time it went online, it can no longer be a secret.

Lilliana perceived the shivering in Felix, the arm that was intertwined with hers suddenly was shivering and she knew her husband was going to lose his composure because of the woman before them.

He still loves her , she knows. But he had become her husband and now, she is more important in his life than her. She needed to step in and save her husband from that awkward moment.

“Oh.. see who came to grace our wedding! Wish us well Camilla, we are married, Felix and I have become a couple. Sorry we didn’t get to send a special invitation to you.

Anyways you came uninvited. But you disgust me with her unkempt hair and face. Can’t you atleast wash your tears away before coming here..” Lilliana was saying when Camilla interrupted her.

” Don’t patronise me. How could you take my man away from me Liliana? You were my friend and you knew Felix and I have been together for years. Did you seduce him?” Camilla inquired, staring from Felix and to his bride.

Lilliana shrugged. She didn’t want this poor thing to dint her image. She just wanted them to leave her before some paparazzi would sight them.

Camilla now glared at Felix from his head to his toes in disappointment. “Felix, how can you do this to me? How can you be married to my friend simply because I asked her to talk her father into helping you secure a better job?

Was I wrong to think only good for you? How can you be married to another woman, Felix? What happened to the love we shared, the promises we made to each other?

The Fantasy of having our home and raising kids? What happened to the world we imagined together? Have you forgotten the night of our first kiss? How you promised me that you will only love and kiss me alone for the rest of your life?

What happened? When did I lose you? When did your love for me fade away? Tell me Felix, did she seduce you, were you forced into this marriage, what happened?..”Camilla asked a hundred and one questions that Felix has no answer to any of them.

Lilliana was getting upset already. She was going to deal with Camilla if her actions attracted the wrong crowd or arouse gossip from the paparazzi post.

“If you were forced, I would understand. You can divorce her and come back to me, I will still take you, I can’t imagine a life without you Felix…” Camilla was saying when Lilliana got Furious and the next thing that happened was a deafening slap landing on Camilla’s chin.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Felix shivered. He looked away. He had hurt her enough, but Lilliana slapping her was too much. He was breathing hard and couldn’t take it. He tucked Lillana but the latter pretended not to notice.

“You are crazy Camilla. You are an idiot. You really think Felix was going to end up with a girl like you who doesn’t know her genesis? You don’t even know your birth parents, you are an outcast and fellow without an identity.

Who wants to end up with a girl picked up at the dunghill? Aren’t you ashamed of yourself? You should count yourself lucky that no man is stigmatised by your filthy life.

For your information, I am pregnant already. I am a few weeks gone and now, I would advise that you don’t become the third wheel in our relationship..” Lilliana ridiculed.

That’s the part of her that Camilla never wanted to hear. She hates it when the history of her life started with being picked up by the dunghill.

No one knows anything about her except that she was found. No one with her DNA has been found till date. She doesn’t know where she came from, but was rescued by Sara, She adopted her and she became her child.

Lilliana saying it out and reminding her of a ugly past she didn’t know how it happened, she felt teary again and her tears started flowing again.

Seeing she was sobbing again, Felix just wanted to leave , he wanted them to leave that premises already and he said “I am married now Camilla. I would advise that you stay away from me henceforth.

Besides, we are not compatible. I went for the one who suits my class and Status, Someone whose identity can be traced..” Felix declared. His words added chilling to an open wound.

“We are not compatible right Felix, why didn’t you tell me that all these years? When I showed you nothing but love you didn’t know we are not compatible?

When I worked part-time to support you through the University, you didn’t know we were not compatible. When I started work and took out a loan to help your mother have a successful heart surgery, didn’t you know that my identity cannot be traced? When I pay your bills and practically feed you and your mother, you didn’t know my identity is unknown?

When I asked Liliana to plead with her father to help you get a job, we were still compatible then and my identity meant nothing to you. But now, all these mean a lot to you because you are now an ambassador and Lilliana’s identity and comparability matches with yours? You are mean..”Camilla said and Lilliana raised her voice, “enough!”

She raised her hand and suddenly, the bodyguards came forward, she complained that this beggar was obstructing her way. She can’t expect that such a dirty beggar would stop her and her husband.

The bodyguards came over and raised Camilla throwing her aside like a piece of trash. She tipped and fell over. Quickly she stood up as the couple made their way into the car.

Before stepping in, Felix looked back one more time at Camilla. His eyes filled with tenderness and apologies. When he got in and shut the door, the chauffeur drove them towards the reception venue.

Other guests looked at Camilla and recognized her. She was someone many people know. The girl picked up from the dunghill.

She stood there in tears as the car finally zoomed off. She watched the car go out of sight. Her supposed fiance was married to another woman and he had gone. She lost him, she lost the man she loved so much. Where does she start from?

Felix, he jilted her because she had no identity and claimed they are not compatible. The compatibility he was referring to was her poverty. Her family was poor and has no identity.

She was walking along the road. She was digging her fingers into her hair. She was sad, tired of life.

What was there to live for? She doesn’t know who her parents are, that is the greatest stigma of her life. She was always being reminded that she has no identity.

She would end it all. She would commit suicide. Why is she living when she cannot be accepted by society? No one showed her love besides her family and Felix. Now, Felix also said it, they are not compatible, she was not classic. He went for someone better than her.

She doesn’t want to live anymore. She wants death. Life has shown her only cruelty. Life has been unfair to her. Wharvhadsje done, why was she ever born?

Who was the woman who gave life? She wants to meet her and ask her a single question: why she brought her into the world rather than to have aborted her off.

She was sobbing, walking along the road and had walked to the middle of the tare road without knowing it. Cars were honking at her but she didn’t hear.

Then she walked into a bend. She didn’t know maybe it’s the honking or it’s instincts, when she looked ahead of her, it was too late…

Camilla opened her eyes weeks later. She didn’t see anything or rather couldn’t focus on anything. She heard voices at her bedside but couldn’t identify the voice.

The nurses came and attended to her, removing the oxygen tube and changing her drip. She knew it but was too weak to respond to her. Then she slept off again.

When she opened her eyes the next day, her eyes were dizzy. She did not see things not clearly and after some time, her sight stabilised.

She saw her mother sitting with her head on her bed. Obviously she was sleeping. She raised her hand and tapped her gently calling her ” mum” her voice was fragile.

Sara thought she was hearing Camilla’s voice in her dreams. She heard her again, and this time, raised her head. She was overjoyed when she saw her daughter.

“Oh Camilla my child” she kissed her temple, holding her hand, she was fragile and weak. Her eyes were pale and her lips were pe as well.

Sara quickly wiped away the tears on her face. She can’t explain how excited she was to see her daughter come back to life. She kissed her temple again and squeezed her arm gently.

“You are awake. I thought I have lost you Camilla, I thought you weren’t going to wake up”Sara said, cleaning the tears on her face.

Camilla remembered what happened and that moment when that car raced into her. That’s all she remembered until she woke up again.

Her tears flowed down the sides of her eyes. She sniffled and tried to hold back the tears. Sara saw her tears and coaxed her ” why are you crying my child? You should be happy with me” Sara said.

Camilla raised her hand and wiped the rwrs off her mother’s face ” don’t cry also mother” she said faintly.

” No I wasn’t crying” she lied, her tears coming down her cheeks. Camilla can’t help but smile faintly. ” There are tears in your eyes,”she teased.

“They are not tears, it’s the rain” Sara lied and immediately regretted giving such a flimsy excuse. She looked away.

“Huh hu, rain?” Camilla asked weakly.
