C7 She's my whole world.
"You're stupid, very stupid Robert. Ernesto ranted glaring hardly at Robert and then turning his gaze at his mother.
If you want to die because of Camila, then go on and die.
"Is Camilla the only woman in this world? Are you even married to her?
You should be glad she is out of your life. But instead of you to rejoice as a murderess have been lifted from your head, you're here feeling mournful.
All in the name of what? Love oh please little brother stop this nonsense and be yourself damnit.
He paused and glanced concisely at his mother and chuckled faintly as he questioned.
''Mother are you sure he's my brother? Because he really doesn't behavior like a true Downey.
Camilla is a killer, a murderess.
Robert if she was able to kill her godfather Pedro Delarosa, who had been there for her since birth as she made us to believed.
Then who are you Robert? And you still think she deserves your love? He shook his head, No little brother.
''Camilla isn't worthy of you" so wake up from you slumber and start behaving like a true Downey damnit.
Ernesto continued to vociferate at his brother as his father walked into the room.
''Young man watch your words, he's your brother and what he needs now is your affection not some kind of insult.
And you Rebecca, What kind of a mother are you?
Can't you shut him up? Why must you sit there and watch him insults his little brother?
Mr. Bernardo retorted when he heard Ernesto's yelled at his brother.
Ernesto's brows lifted quickly.
Seriously father? You want us to sit back and watch this boy destroy his life.
What for? all because of a woman, I mean a murderess?
''Hell no! he shook his head and moved closer to his father.
This your son here is very stupid.
He's useless father.
Have you thought of what would have happened? Must he die because of love?
''What did you expect we do father? To cuddle him like a baby that he is right?
''Please Ernesto stop this!!
He's your father, please stop!
Mrs. Rebecca said as she swiftly stood up. She got closer to her husband and grabbed his hands as she looked into his eyes.
''Bernardo stop this please. Say that to your son Rebecca.
He's being too harshly on his brother, that'..........
"No father! You're rather being too supportive and very unfair when it comes to me.''
Why do you always side with Robert anytime he does something bad?
Why do you always make me feel like i'm not even your son father?
''Tell me father, am I even your son or not? Tell me because I don't get it. Yes father, i fucking don't get it damnit.
He yelled through clenched teeth, sounding extremely angry.
''Enough! Enough Ernesto! What's your problem?
''How dare you talk to your father in such a tone?
Simon hastily protested when he walked into the room.
He let out an exasperated sigh.
Ernesto smirked deviously as he turned to face Simon.
Talk some sense into that favorite cousin of yours because his constant behavior irritates me.
I see he's going crazy over love.
And you, father he muttered as he turned to stand in front of him.
We're not done, you'll have to tell me why you always treat me like an outsider.
He muttered and then moved closer to his mother and grabbed both her wrists as he stared into her eyes emotionally.
I'm sorry I spoke rudely to your husband he whispered.
Ernesto blinked as he inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly trying to relax and muttered.
Goodbye mother, please take care. He then pecks her forehead and walked out fuming in anguish.
''Ernesto wait, please don't go!
Mrs. Rebecca mumbled trekking after him as he froze on his tracks immediately.
He slowly turned to face his mother whose tears keep splitting out of her eyes.
Ernesto walked back to her. Please Mother don't stop me.
He whispers again as he wiped off the tears that were flowing heavily from Mrs Rebecca's cheek with his handkerchief.
''I love you mother. He said and pecked her cheek ones more and he rapidly turned to go without looking back.
Bernardo stop your Son, please stop him. Don't let him go, he isn't in his right mind. Stop him Bernardo.
Rebecca quickly rushed to her husband and pleaded sadly but Bernardo didn't say a word.
He just stood still as he watches Ernesto until he was out of sight.
Mr. Bernardo let out a sigh of sadness. He shook his head as he walked out heading to his room and Mrs. Rebecca immediately followed him up the steps into their room.
Why Bernardo? She asked.
''Why do you always want to make him feel like he isn't your son?'' Mrs Rebecca retorted angrily at her husband immediately she got inside their room.
''I know Rebecca, I didn't say he isn't my son but that boy is being too impossible to deal with. And it's all your fault Rebecca.
You have over pampered him all his life and I'm sick and tired of all the balderdashes thing he does in this house Rebecca. He ranted annoyingly.
''Robert how are you feeling? Simon asked as he touches his forehead after all of them had left.
Robert slowly sat up on the bed and leaned back.
''Just as he was about to answer, Simon cellphone rang in his pocket as he immediately pulled out his phone to see Arianna's name flashed on the screen.
'It's Anna he whispered to Robert and he immediately picked the call on the third ring.
''Hello Simon!.
''Anna how is Camilla now?
She is not doing well Simon, who will be happy while being in jail? But that's not why I called you.
''I've been calling Robert phone for like thirty minutes and his line isn't going through.
And i know you're with him so can you please pass him the phone?
I would like to talk to him?
She asked and Simon glanced at his cousin briefly before speaking.
Arianna i'm sorry but this isn't the right time to talk to him.
''Robert nearly killed himself and now he's not doing well, so I'll advised you speak to him later. He muttered truthfully and Arianna nodded as if he could see her.
Okay Simon! Thank you she said and ended the call.
''He didn't want to speak to me right?
Camilla asked after, Arianna placed her phone on the table.
Arianna after taken Lina home came back to see Camilla in her cell so Camilla asked her to call Robert just so she could speak with him.
''Like you'' He's also hurting emotionally and nearly committed suicide she said and Camilla's eye brows parked.
''I need to speak with him Anna. Robert is my life and this the moment I need him so please help me talk to him.
She sadly muttered as tears spilled down her cheeks.
'I'll try and do my best Camilla, but please calm down and be strong for us. Arianna muttered.
Thank you for everything Anna. Camilla said as she gripped her hand, and Arianna grinned with a nod.
''What did Arianna want Simon? Robert questioned glancing at him sadly. Simon sighed slowly and blinked. She requested to speak with you.
He simply replied and Robert shifted his gaze to a different direction.
Don't you love her anymore? Simon asked and Robert slowly turned his gaze at him but refused to answer him.
Robert I asked you a question, don...
Yeah i do Simon, you of all people should know how much I love Camilla.
She's my whole world and this, he said as he pointed to his heart, this beats for no one but her Simon.
''I love her, I really love Camilla but... He paused and exhaled deeply glancing sadly at Simon.
But after what had just happened, I doubt if mother would want me to go near her.
And Ernesto, I don't know how he's gonna back off from my affairs with Camila, he sees her now as a killer Simon.
You know how much they've hated her ever since I introduced her as my girlfriend, not to talk of what just happened.
''I understand how you feel and what you're going through now kid Brother. But you need to speak with Camila.
And about Ernesto leave him to me, I will handle him.
''Thank you Simon'' I know you and father are the only ones I can confide in. He muttered in a sadden as he stood up to hug him.
''Seventh weeks after Camilla was convicted, she started feeling feverishness and dizziness as she collapsed one night whilst having a conversation with a cellmate.
''Help! Help, someone should please us Felicity the cellmate screamed and Camilla was immediately taken to the infirmary. That was how she got to know about her pregnancy.
She was happy at first because Robert was the father of her unborn child but then her face saddened rapidly knowing she and Robert weren't together.
And it was like she never existed in Roberts life since she was sent to prison.
His behavior towards Camilla changed automatically on the second week she was sent to prison and it happens ''FATE'' wants her to have something that belongs to him and that was the child she had in her belly.
''Camilla was later transferred to a different room as soon as the Downey's heard of the pregnancy.
She was treated differently in prison as instructed by Mr. Bernardo Downey.
''A week before the child was born. Robert visited Camilla's private room and informed her of his decision to take his child when it born.
But Robert you can't do this to me. This child i'm carrying is the only thing I have in this world.'' Please don't take it from me.
She muttered sadly and Robert chuckled.
''You want to have the baby leave in here? And where exactly. He asked looking around the place.
I'm a Downey Camilla and that child you have in your womb is the heir to the Downey's fortune so I choose where he stay.
He angrily retorted as he glared hardly at her. Camilla got frightened when he said that because she knew Robert will never take back his words.
Robert before leaving the place hired one of the nurses chosen for Camilla and paid her to secretly watch her and to inform him as soon as she delivers the baby before anybody else hear of it.
The ringtone of his cellphone interrupted his train of thoughts as he slowly opened his eyes to check the caller.
It was his daughter Jessica, he smiled and immediately pressed the green button to answer..
