M.I N.E endless Love

Two months later

Eduardo walked into the ward. On the bed sat Jenny’s mother. Fully recovered and looked healthy and happy. He sat on her bedside chair and smiled at her.

“It was you sir, that saved my life?” She asked, her eyes growing teary. She had been declared ok for the past two weeks. But the doctor said the man who saved her life and footed the hospital expenses asked that she remain in the hospital for check up.

She had waited for him to come until that morning, the doctor had said she would be discharged that day and the one who saved her would be coming to see her. Seeing the fellow seated by her bedside, she could guess he was her life saver.

“I guess I am,” Eduardo answered calmly. The woman thanked him and said she would be forever grateful to him for his kindness towards her and for giving her a chance to live.

Eduardo told her she doesn’t need those preliminaries. He was just opportuned to show kindness and That’s all. She shouldn’t take it to heart. All the same The woman was happy.

“Do you remember your home?” Eduardo asked to see if she still remembers her life before the accident. She had spent over two years hospitalised. Is she really fine like the doctor had told him that she was perfectly fine.

“Yes. I remembered everything and how my husband and I were involved in that accident. I know also that he is dead but I survived and woke up today because you saved me..”yeh started sobbing.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“No please, I don’t want you to sob. You should be happy that you have a second chance to live. Many don’t have such luck, like your husband. But tell me, who told you that your husband was dead?” Eduardo asked.

“Because we were together for two days before I woke up. When I opened my eyes, I discovered I was in the hospital and not in the beautiful paradise I was with my husband. I saw myself in the hospital and later realised that I have been like this for two years and some months” she answered.

She doesn’t need to be told. She knew a few were restored. Her husband was there, he was happy and they only were together for such a short time.

Eduardo squinted. She was almost gone totally. She was with her husband already in the great beyond for two days, she said. She said two days wheim in the present life, it’s two years. Time has no meaning beyond he guesses.

“Ok. Thank goodness you survived. I will have you stay in a private place. From the investigation done, we already know those who wanted you dead and eventually succeeded in seeing your husband dead.

They are still out there. I want to protect you from them until I have them apprehended. When I know your life is safe, I will let you go about freely again” Eduardo explained.

“Thank you sir. I don’t know why you chose to help me. But I have one request” She said, clasping her hands in front of her for permission.

“Oh sure. Go ahead” Eduardo permitted. He smiled. She doesn’t know why he was helping her right? Jenny is the reason. He loves her now and though he’s never confessed it to her, his attitude towards her says it all.

“I want to see my daughter. Is she fine? How has life treated her these past few years… her name is ..” she was going to tell him her daughter’s name when Eduardo helped her.

“Jenny” he said and looked at the woman. She was surprised. Does he know her daughter? She smiled, is she doing well?”

“You know my daughter right?”Jenny’s mother asked. She was waiting for a response when she saw Eduardo beamed with a smile.

“Yes, I do. She’s fine and leaving healthy and fine. Very soon, she will meet you and I promise you because she’s my wife..”Eduardo disclosed.

She was lost.

Rodrigo was with Camilla that evening. They were both nude under the quilt. Camilla snuggled into him and he was caressing her hair. Everything seemed to be quiet for months now.

After Emma and her mother were paraded on the internet and given their proper boundaries, no one troubled them anymore. They Were both living their lives peacefully.

“Camilla” Rodrigo called her. He was already thinking of settling down with Camilla but for the trip he has at hand. He needed to go but when he returned, they were getting engaged and getting married the following month.

“Yes,” Camilla answered, raising her head and looking up at him. She soon placed her head in his chest again.

” We are getting engaged when I return from my trip next week. It’s just a week and I will be back. The engagement will be quiet but the wedding will be elaborate. What do you say to that?” Rodrigo asked.

Camilla smiled. She was happy. Being officially Rodrigo’s woman is a dream come true. She would be his woman legally. She loves him very much.

” It’s ok with me Rodrigo. I have always been waiting for you to take this step in our relationship” Camilla responded. It’s better they do it now that no one was disturbing them again.

Rodrigo was happy. He planted a featherlight kiss on her hair and told her to wait for him. He would be back and she would officially become his.

The two lovers were happy and kissed each other again. Rodrigo was going to make love to her again when Camilla asked him why he was never tired of sex.

” I am trying to get you pregnant my love” He replied. He doesn’t know but still Camilla has never been pregnant. He expected her to be but he would be patient and get married to her first.

“If I wanted to have a baby for you, I guess I would have,” Camilla teased him. She was joking and that statement came back to haunt her later.

That night was the night Rodrigo would live to remember for years to come. It would be a night to their parting and a night whose memories will remain evergreen in their hearts.

It was as if Rodrigo knew they were going to be separated. He made love to her so passionately like he had never done and when he finally let her go, it was close to midnight.

That evening when Eduardo returned from the company, he asked Eric to go away. Looks like they are closer to getting their answer. They finally discovered the one of the people who hunted Eduardo and wanted to kill him on the night he met and kissed Jenny.

So excited, he had him locked up in the basement. He would personally be interrogating him the next morning. He was closer to his breakthrough now than before.

As the car drove into the Mansion, it was close to midnight. He assumed everyone was asleep, especially Jenny and he walked out of the car himself, took long strides and arrived at the entrance to the house.

Maybe he knows or maybe his instincts, he sat on the wheelchair that Eric was holding and pushed the door open. Jenny was not in the sitting room and he was being wheeled towards the stairs when she came out of her room and stood at the top.

Eduardo was worried. Why abshe awake this time? Did she see him walking towards the Mansion? No, there is no way she would. He calmed himself.

“Welcome darling” she said, yawning and stretching her arms. Seeing her actions, Eduardo was more relaxed. She didn’t see him at all.

” You still awake my dear,? He asked as Eric helped him to the top. “Yes, but I woke up when I heard the door opening” she lied. Of course she was awake waiting for the day she would catch him red-handed.

“Oh” Eduardo said and took her hand giving it a squeeze. Jenny smiled and told Eric to go. It’s midnight already. She would help Eduardo to his room.

Eduardo was initially reluctant. Despite they getting along well as a couple and having been to a few places together, she had never stepped her feet into his bedroom. He loves her now, no doubts but hasn’t brought her into his room.

He just believes the day she does, he would consummate their wedding. He wants her to love him too before he sleeps there and then, he isn’t going to be using his wheelchair anymore. He had calculated everything.

“Don’t you want me to help you to your room? I thought we’ve gone beyond that stage” she flippantly said and Eduardo dismissed Eric. He should pick him up the next morning as usual.

Eric left and said goodnight to his boss and madam. As soon as he left, Jenny wheeled Eduardo to his room and he unlocked the door with his finger prints.

When they got in, Jenny stepped in and shut the door. Eduardo expected her to leave but she shut the door and turned with an angry stare at Eduardo. Immediately he knew something was wrong.

Jenny pushed him violently by pushing the wheelchair angrily and violently. Eduardo was going to fall when he quickly decided, at this point, he can’t hide the truth from her. She’s up to something.

He jumped off the wheelchair justvas it almost bumped into the bathroom door. Eduardo was furious and glared at Jenny.

“I thought you would still pretend to be a cripple. Why Eduardo. If everyone must not know, it shouldn’t be me. I had known for a while now that you are fine, nothing is wrong with you. We are married and I already thought you are falling in love with me just as I am also in love with you!” Jenny queried.

Eduardo looked away. She already knew he was not cripple and didn’t show it. How long had she known? Why didn’t she come out boldly and ask him. “How long have you known?” He asked. His facial expressions were cool now. The anger was gone.

“Two weeks. I knew that night Luke came with his girlfriend. I observed you stretching your legs under the dining table. Your legs touched mine and I felt it was healthy legs and not the way you made it appear.

Now I am certain you were the man I met some time ago at the alley. I had suspected it was you but I dismissed the thoughts because I felt that you have been in a wheelchair for over a year now.

Why are you doing this to yourself? Why would you confine yourself to a wheelchair and restrain yourself from the freedom of walking around feely?..” Jenny yelled at him.

Eduardo sighed audibly and sank into the sofa. So many questions and where will he begin from? What matters right now is that his secret has been blown. She had discovered it and somehow, he doesn’t feel furious or angry that she did.

“I have my reasons, Jenny. And I hope you won’t ask me what the reasons are. And yes, I was the one you met back then, I mean at the alley” He calmly answered and started removing his ties.

Jenny stared at him. Has his reasons for making himself cripple or rather pretended to be cripple. What could that be, what might have made him punish himself for so long?

She stared at him as he removed his ties. She didn’t know what to say next and turned, wanting to leave the room but Eduardo stood up quickly and blocked her way.

” Ok, I am sorry if that appears strange. But nobody must know about this secret. You are the third person, knowing the truth, let that Truth remain with you and in you” Eduardo coaxed.

He was close to her, so close that they could perceive each other’s breath. He towered her, looking at her with a piercing stare. This was his first time standing to look at her from above besides that night.

He could see her shape through the thin light wear she had on. Her round boobs underneath the dress. He perceived she was not having a bra on as her nipples were transparently seen. She smelled of an enchanting Feminine perfume.

Jenny didn’t know what to do. His huge frame was standing in front of her and she barely reached his collar bone. She had always known he was handsome, but seeing him standing on his feet, she concluded he is the cutest guy she had ever seen.

She was not interested in saying anything out even if Eduardo didn’t ask her to keep his fake cripple life secret. She would respect his decision and let him conceal it for as long as he wants.

She nodded and wanted to pass by his other side and go away when he gripped her by her wrist and pulled her back. Not prepared for his pull, she stumbled and almost fell but landed on Eduardo’s broad chest.

He immediately circled his hands on her waist and bent, placing his lips on hers. He had kissed her before, but he was kissing her again. This time it wasn’t as his life saver but his wife.

He was surprised that she didn’t resist or try to stop him. She let him kiss her and soon, she started kissing him back. It was supposed to be something brief, but they found it getting deeper.

Eduardo wasn’t ready to let her go. Her lips were soft and succulent. The more he was kissing her, the more his desire was ignited. He was now holding her tight to himself and she had circled her arms around his neck.

They could perceive each other’s breath. Jenny closed her eyes, savouring every moment of the kiss and wishing that it would last forever.

Suddenly Jenny shivered…
