"Nice to meet you Vida." Trina said and streached her hand for a handshake, she was feeling a little bit intimidated by Vida now after how Elio introduced Vida with the same smile he always had on whenever he introduced her back then. She indeed had to be intimidated, because even when it came to beauty, Vida was far more beautiful than her and Vida's blue gown blended perfectly with her shinny brown skin, she looked remarkably dashing tonight.
"Nice to meet you too." Vida replied with a smile after the handshake. They started talking about Elio's company and the tension between them elapsed.
"Sir, there's a call for you." A young staff of the Wylder Mansion came to inform Mr Julian as he stood talking to some of his guests.
"I will be right back." He informed the guests and went along with the staff, Mrs Isabella watched slyly as Mr Julian went away.
"I am sure that he wasn't able to do a proper job." Mrs Isabella thought to herself, then she smiled and sipped her wine with her leg crossed.
"Hello." Mr Julian said calmly into the landline.
"Julian, what did i do to you?" The hoarse voice on the other end said to him.
"What do you mean? Who the hell is this?" Mr Julian said a bit angry now. He didn't like it when random people call him and also when they don't go straight to the point.
"Why did you send some people to kill me? After all the things i did for your sake, you still dared to do that to me." The man said, his voice sounding a little sad.
Hahahaha!!! Mr Julian laughed hysterically, the man on the other end waited patiently for him to finish laughing before he said to him.
"Oh, you think i am a joke. Now watch what this joke does to you."
"You are threatening me, Garcia. If you had survived up till now, it's because i am not ready to end your useless life but if you dare as to even make a tiny move to expose me, your entire family will be moaned and then i will come and shot you myself." Mr Julian said replying his threat with his own threat and he dropped the phone. Then he stood watching himself in the glass on his study wall with a smile on his face.
People stayed until late in the night enjoying the wonderful view of the house and the constant entertainment provided. Mylar got so tired from the boring music and noiseless atmosphere, she wasn't used to such, she preferred the booming club, crazy dancing boys and girls not afraid to talk to themselves up close. Vida also felt the same way, she was feeling suffocated by the weird people, boring ball room dance and stupid toasts. Elio despite being born into a rich family was also feeling the way they did, he wished he could just escape and go somewhere else but his dad would give him a really ridiculous emotional speech.
When the wedding finally came to an end, the three heaved sighs of relief, they were finally free from total suffocation.
"Mylar, i will get going now." Vida informed Mylar and she picked up her coat as she got up.
"Already? I thought you would like to spend more time with me." Mylar said looking a bit sad.
Vida pushed her lips forward in a cute sad way at her friend's words and then said.
"I am sorry but i have to leave, you know i still have to go to the club tonight. Infact we are forced to come two hours earlier unlike before."
"Why do you think Ozzy asked you to that?" Mylar asked feeling a bit concerned. Vida thought of it and replied Mylar.
"I don't know but i have a feeling that he's hiding something. I saw a few guys come into the club three days ago and one of them pointed a gun at Ozzy while talking to him, i think his club's going bankrupt." Vida saw a bit of sadness on Mylar's face and said to her.
"You shouldn't feel pity for him, you know he actually deserves to suffer." Mylar smiled.
"I am not thinking about him but about you. What would possibly do without that job and you don't even have a degree." Vida felt happy to see that her friend was concerned about her, she really thought that after living a few days here, Mylar would change into a completely different person. She went close to Mylar and gave a hug.
"You don't have to worry too much, i will be fine by God's grace and in Jesus name." Vida said as she wispered into Mylar ears.
At that time, everyone had already left and she walked her friend to the car for Elio to take her home.
"I will come visit some other time." Vida said to Mylar and gave her another warm hug.
"You sure about that?" Mylar asked and Vida replied.
"100%, just make sure to take care of this little angel for me." Vida said to her.
Vida got into the car and Elio inserted the key into the ignition and turn it on, Vida waved at Mylar as they drove out of the compound.
Mylar was feeling super tired and the after dress Mrs Isabella got for her was really uncomfortable, she couldn't breathe properly in it, she left the staffs and Miss Emelda downstairs still busy cleaning up the house and went to the room to get some rest.
"Can't you just stick with one brother? Why go after the other?" Asked Camilo who has been restless all day due to watching Mylar and Elio being together. He got even more annoyed when he saw them dancing with Elio's hands wrapped around her waist, to him it was disgusting.
"How can someone be that way despite being pregnant with another's child?" He asked himself as he watched them.
"Huh?" Mylar asked confused by his words. Camilo scoffed at her and said.
"You expect me to repeat myself."
Mylar couldn't understand what he was trying to say and so she ignored him to avoid another fight. Seeing her ignore him pissed him off even more and he said in anger.
"It's definitely true, that's why she can't even answer my question." Then he rolled his eyes at her and went into the bathroom, Mylar sighed sharply and wispered to herself.
"Why can't he stop being a jerk? Just a day of being normal is not too much to ask for."
As they both laid on the bed covering themselves with the duvet, Camilo slowly dragged more part to cover his body leaving half her body exposed. She would have probably let him get his way but she was feeling a bit cold today and so she dragged back some part to cover her body that had nothing on it except for the nightie she wore.
Camilo breath out heavily and dragged back the duvet with force, the duvet scratched her skin roughly, they both kept dragging it while swearing at each other. Seeing that he had almost collected the duvet from her, Mylar streached her right leg and kicked him at the same time dragging the duvet from him, Camilo rolled off the bed and fell with a loud thump, he screamed in pain, he got up and held in his weight and then his back, groaning.
"How evil can you be? Do know what kind of pain am feeling now?" Mylar heard him saying, she felt sorry for him and got up to look at him.
"Are you hurt?" Mylar asked as she placed her hand on his back to check. Camilo looked at her angrily and yelled at her.
"Off course i am hurt, can't you see or are you blind?" Mylar went downstairs and got an ointment after several minutes of telling Miss Emelda not to worry herself and tolerating her over concerned talks. She came back and found Camilo seated with his shirt off, she gulpped down her saliva at the sight of Camilo and gently sat down next to him, she started applying the ointment to soothe his pain.
Ahh!!! He yelled whenever she touched a place that hurts.
"Will you stop it already, i haven't even done anything and you are already screaming like a child." Mylar said angrily and Camilo replied her.
"You think i am pretending, then fall down from the bed and let's see how you endure when i put such peppery ointment on your body." Mylar dropped the ointment on the floor.
"You know what, instead of being named Camilo, you should have been named princess instead. Because you act like a fragile little princess." Camilo chuckled because of what she said, Mylar watched in amusement and thought to herself.
"So Camilo Wylder can actually smile in a conversation."
"Mom used to call me that when i was still quite small, she said she wished to have a daughter but i can be a her daughter." Camilo said smiling, then his smile suddenly disappeared.
"Mom." He wispered and became serious again. Mylar watched him with great concern, what could make a son despise a mother who did everything for him.
"Ummm, thanks for applying the ointment." He said quietly as if he didn't want anyone to hear him and went back to sleep on the bed after arranging pillows in the middle, Mylar also went to bed and after just three seconds, Camilo noticed that she was already fast asleep.
The next morning, Mylar's ringing phone woke her up, Camilo wasn't on the bed when she got up.
"He must have gone for his morning exercise." She said and picked up the call as the phone rang again. It was Vida, she was calling to ask if she could come and visit Mylar today. She sounded quite upset and Mylar prayed and hoped that all would be well. She took her bath and went out, none of the family members were in the sitting room and so she decided to go outside and wait for Vida who told her that she would be there in a while because she was already on her way. Mylar stood outside waiting patiently for Vida, when she saw a young man approaching the gate. When he got there, he greeted her and went to the mail box.
