Chapter 30: Chapter 30

Camilla drove in tears all the way from the mansion to the hotel where she had lodged, she immediately parked the car she had rented in the hotel space and ran into the hotel, once in her room she shut the door behind her, leaned against the door and started crying out loudly, she had managed to keep herself from crying loudly all the way back to the hotel where she had lodged.

She could no longer control her emotions, as she recalled the argument she had with Lucio earlier on. Lucio had told her that, he would make sure she never sees her daughter again. “I will fight you with everything I have Lucio, I will take my daughter back from you.” She had shouted right back to him as soon as he had said those words to her.

Camilla could no longer bear the thought of staying away from her daughter Lora, seeing her daughter again in that sorry state today had reopened old wounds, and awoken a new desire in her to fight Lucio to have access to her daughter. She recalls how she saw Lora run away from them and could tell by just her move how hurt she was. She knew that Lora knew nothing about the fight she had with her dad and will be devastated seeing them brawl at each other the way they did.

“I am sorry Lora… I am so sorry Lora, this was not the kind of family I wanted for you, I never meant to give you such a broken family…” Camilla cried and muttered to herself as she curled herself up on the after she sat down, her back still pressed against the door. “I wanted to make things right by giving you another dad, a dad who would have been more deserving but Lucio… Lucio would not let that happen…” she muttered again tearfully, sounding as if she was talking to Lora this minute.

She cried a few more bitter tears, feeling her heart breaking as what had happened in Lucio’s house replayed in her memory. She had come here for her friend, Marta who was grieving because of the loss of her husband but Lucio had made it her to remember her own grieve of missing her daughter Lora all these years even when she was still alive.

Camilla sniffed in to try and make her tear to stop flowing as she felt she had cried enough already and that it was time to fight again. She have been crying all these past years over her daughter after she divorced Lucio and she does not want to cry again, she want to fight him now instead and she does not care if she loosed to him a hundred time she would still find a way and a means to fight him until she got her daughter back, she said inwardly, lifting her hands to pull her hair that had fallen over her face while she was crying backwards, she have had the privilege to have wealth that could match up the wealth of Lucio and a good man like Miguel who was willing to stand by her side and fight with her through thick and thin, she thought and with this thought she stood up from the floor where she was sitting, wiped her eyes with the back of her palms and began to park some of the clothes she had brought out earlier from her travelling box when she first got here and started packing them back into her travelling box.

She picked out her phone and dialed Miguel’s number as she needed to inform him immediately about her change of plan.

“Hello, Camilla,” Miguel said into the phone which he had quickly taken the call as soon as he saw that it was from Camilla.

“Yes Miguel, I am calling to inform you about my change of plan,” Camilla said into the phone, sniffing a little again to fight back her tears and trying to put on a new determination to fight Lucio.

“What is it Camilla, is everything alright?” Miguel asked immediately sensing something was wrong because of the tone of her voice.

“No Miguel but it is nothing that I cannot handle,” she said immediately, pausing to wiped her running nose with a handkerchief and went to pick up from the bed.

“It is Lucio, am I right?” Miguel asked, feeling frustrated that he was not with her at the moment.

“Yes Miguel, Lucio is at it again and I will not let him be this time, I will fight him with everything in me until I get my daughter back,” Camilla said into the phone again, “I am on my way home now so book the next available flight for me this minute, I need to come home and make all necessary arrangements,” she added immediately before Miguel would speak again, sounding rather authoritative.

“Alright Camilla, I will book the flight right away so you can start going to the airport now,” Miguel told her, deciding not to ask her any more questions until she had come home since she said she wanted to come home first.

she ended the call with Miguel, looked around to see if she was forgetting something, and then walked out of the room after making sure she had packed all her things with her.

Camilla checked out of the hotel in a hurry, she needs to leave for the airport immediately since Miguel already started booking the flight to her place of Residence, and her reason for calling Miguel was because aside from him being her boyfriend, he was also her legal advisor that was why she had informed him of her decision to fight for her right to be with her daughter.

She quickly texted the company that she has rented her car from informing them of her intention to leave the city and told them that she would leave the car in the airport and would pay for every extra charges if any as a result and then shoved her phone afterwards into her handbag before putting her travelling bag in the back seat of the car, she went ahead and put her handbag next to her on the car passenger’s seat in front after she had sat down on the driver’s seat, ready to leave for the airport but just on her way out of the hotel she noticed a car followed her almost immediately, she had thought it was just someone going on his way too, but she became a little worried when she got to the high way, and the same vehicle was still following her.

She stepped on her car throttle to increase speed of the car and then looked into the rear view mirror to see if the vehicle was still following her, that was when she realized for sure that she was been followed, she looked ahead of her and noticed that she was still very far away from getting to the airport.

She became overwhelmed with fear, that she lost her focus on the road because she is driving and looking at the car’s rear view mirror at the same time to check on the car following her, her hands trembling too even though it was holding on to the car steering.

Camilla looked from the car rear view mirror to the road to see another car right in front of her, she panicked when she saw the car coming right in front of her from the other lane in a high speed, horning and flashing it’s car headlights at her at the same time which was what got her attention in the first place.

She screamed almost immediately as she tried to drive her car in the right lane again but in a struggle to turn the car to the right lane, she lost control of the car and the car began to somersault in an instant, tumbling with speed too because she was driving in a high speed too and as the car somersaulted, all she could think of in that moment was Lora... before the car came to a halt she have already lost consciousness.

The vehicle that was chasing her slowed down to examine the car that was completely crashed out of the road and after her pursuer saw the extent of the damage on the car, he concluded that she was dead and droves off again, looking out through his rear view mirror to see if there's a car behind him, then heaved a sigh of relief seeing that there was no car behind him.

Camilla slowly regained consciousness few minutes later and managed to crawl out of her car, before she could reach the road again she passed out again…
