Billion dollar love

"Pedro" Camilia called out with a shaky voice about to break down in tears "I'm sorry if I have done anything to make you so upset, let's rethink this issue please" She pleaded walking hastily behind him trying to push back her now evident tears. "I really love you.......I know our difference in social status is a big issue, but we both agreed it won't cause any problems for us....... you promised me, why now?" She roared out pausing her movement. "What did I do, I want to know, you can't just break up with me like that......... I deserve to know exactly what is going on, we are in this relationship together, You don't have the right to decide alone." She continued as he remained silent. "Stop shouting now Camila, I have had enough of this, I have told you I'm not interested anymore, why are you making a big fuss out of it, we are both young adults I no longer feel the same way I felt months ago for you okay?...... We both need to move on let's do this in a matured way now, people are staring look around." Pedro bit out seething his annoyance "I don't care....... what I need now is a straight answer why are you doing this?......... is it because we are almost done with high school and you no longer see a future with me?...... why you are doing this to us?" Camila questioned with a broken voice that was just a mirror to her aching heart. "There is no more us okay, this is a waste of time, guys let's go." Pedro replied waving her off while heading towards his friends. "Pedro get back here" Camila called out to him. "I hate you" she called out as he walked out on her. "I hate you." She added in a low voice that sounded more like a whisper as the damn of waterworks burst down her cheeks. "you should have at least told her why you're leaving" One of his friend's suggested feeling remorseful by his friend's behavior. "No one, I mean none of you should say a word about me to her, understood!" Pedro barked out pointing a warning finger across their faces. "I'm already a bad person in her eyes, there's no need for any further clarification, got that?........' it's over between us " Pedro added in a lower tone lowering his gaze. "Any questions about me from anyone, tell em I got a Scholarship and my family decided to relocate too." Pedro continued slipping his hands in the back pockets of his Navy blue Jean. "Pedro, why are you making such a big issue out of this?...... just tell your girlfriend that you're moving and you don't know if things are going to work out between you two, but no!..... you just have to play the villain" James his childhood friend scolded him as they all walked towards the exit. "James this is none of your business and I don't need your input on this matter in any way" Pedro bit back. "Yeah, you're right..... it's none of my business and I'm out of here!..... good luck being stubborn" James replied before walking away from their small group as the rest of their friends kept mute. ** ** *** ** *** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** Camila known for her numerous part time jobs, undoubtedly still had time for her studies, and that didn't make her any less beautiful. she had a cute one sided dimple, with natural brown hair which she kept short and always styled in a bon. Life hasn't exactly been a bed of roses for her, she's had a rough time growing up After being abandoned by her father by an old fashioned excuse of "he was in search of greener pasture for his family". He still hadn't returned home, "guess he hasn't found one yet". Rumors had it that he had married a rich widow while he worked for her as a gardener, but no one really knows the truth about her father. Camilia took up the responsibility to help her mother in order to make things easier for them, she only had a brother named Anthony who indeed contributed greatly to the stress and hardship of the family due to his ignorance and nonchalant behavior towards the situation they were facing. Camila decided to forget him and focus on helping her mother. Being a student and working so many jobs wasn't the life she dreamt of but she always tried her best to keep a smile on her face. ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** "Unbelievable mum you made a big fuse seven years ago about leaving Spain and coming here for good and now you and dad are sending me back there to work that's not fair." Pedro complained to his mother as she stood beside him in his bedroom. "Pedro, I know it doesn't sound like a good idea but you only have to work then come back for the holidays son" his mom replied in a calm voice trying to convince him placing her hand on his shoulder. "wow mum it's so easy for you to say" Pedro scoffed brushing off her hand. "I begged you especially because dad wasn't even listening to me back then, I really wanted to stay back, I had so many things and people I didn't want to leave behind but you forced me, relationships that meant so much to me was also broken, Now you and dad expect me to pack my bags and be all so excited?." Pedro continued after stepping a few distance away from her. "Son, many things have happened to our family, do you know why JP Enterprises, still stands today?..... Because all the people chosen to handle the responsibility of building the cooperation have put it first before any other thing dear..... I expect you to to do the same, we all love you... . we are not asking you to kill or destroy anything..... Just go back home and handle some little work and relief your father of some duties, which all of it some day will become yours. Take it as a practice section for something greater. I believe you will make a smart Choice" his mom replied as calmly as ever. "Dinner is ready, come join us as soon as you're ready. and please, put a smile on your face, you know your father." His mother added before she disappeared into the kitchen. ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** "Pedro ain't you hungry? why are you picking your food? your mother cooked herself just for you, so I was told by your sister." His father complained as he stabbed the peas with his fork. "No dad, I'm enjoying the meal alot" Pedro stated. "thank you mum" he added dryly glancing up at his mom who sat opposite him by the table. "you're welcome son." She replied beaming at him. "I hope you're almost packed and ready to leave soon because the director there is scheduled to leave office by Friday. And I expect you to be at the ceremony to show respect and dedication towards the office, you understand what I mean..." His Father Said after sipping the last content of his wine glass. "That means I have to leave this week, and start working by Monday?" Pedro asked trying to understand the statement. "Darling isn't that too much for him to handle?..... he hasn't even gone by the office to say goodbye. I also haven't even prepared were he'll be staying when he gets there." His Mother chipped in. "Don't worry about anything, everything is already being taken care of, he just needs to pack his bags and board the flight" his father replied coldly dabbing at his lower lip with his napkin. "It was a lovely meal, thank you." He added as he rose to his feet. "I will be in the study room." He announced as he turned to leave and disappeared into the hallway. *** Pedro's face was nothing to write home about he was about to burst in anger. Disappointed at himself for not challenging his father about the decision made on the table, concerning him. He stood up and left the table in a fit of rage and called it a day.
