CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR, ATTACK 2

 Mylar lay on the bed facing the wall when Camilo walked in.

He looked at her and remembered her words. Then he thought to himself.

"Why does love weaken one."

"But apart from love, there seems to be an ounce of truth in whatever she and Elio are saying." He said to himself.

"I watched the video and read those documents," Camilo said aloud so that she could hear him and he continued talking when she showed no interest.

"A part of me sees a lot of truth in it."

He went to her and bent over to kiss her forehead. 

"Mylar, you don't have to leave me whether you are right or wrong. Doubting you is because I love my dad." He sighed, he hated it when he didn't get any response to whatever he said.

"If I believe you right away, that means I have been lying about my love for my dad. Mylar I love you and my dad equally. I can't choose one over the other."

She continued to ignore him, and he got up and went to the wardrobe.

"Everyone loves their parents but how would an orphan like me know that." Mylar finally spoke.

"You are upset about that." He said and went on his knees before her.

"I'm sorry." He apologized folding his hands before her.

"I didn't mean to insult you in any way. Please forgive me." He continuously apologized until she forgave him.

Camilo went downstairs to get some juice from the kitchen when he heard someone call out to him.

"Dad." He said as he turned around and saw who it was.

"I want us to spend some quality time together. It's been so long and I know we both need it." Mr Julian said to Camilo after he asked him what he wanted.

"So would you like to go fishing with me?" Mr Julian asked. Camilo thought about it and then replied.

"Yes, sure. It's been a while." Mr Julian smiled at his reply.

The next morning, Mylar found Camilo dressed up in clothes worn for fishing.

"Camilo, why are you dressed like that?" Mylar asked after getting a morning kiss from Camilo.

"Dad and I are going fishing." He replied, his hands busy fixing his hair while facing the wall mirror.

"Fishing? All of a sudden?" Mylar asked concerned.

"There's no big deal, we do go for a fishing trip now and then but it's been a long time since we went." He replied to her and went back to fixing his hair. Mylar quietly thought about it and he decided to say something to calm her down.

"In a way, it's good we are going. That way I can confront him today itself." Mylar advised him.

"Whatever you want to do, just be careful."

"Sure." He agreed and gave her a deep kiss before leaving the room.

Mr Julian also got ready in his clothes. Today, he wanted to see if Camilo had finally agreed to whatever Elio and Mylar told him, that way he would know what to do next.

At the river bank, Camilo confronted him and told him everything Mylar and Elio told him and also about a man, Juan Jose. He didn't bother to hold back his anger.

Mr Julian tried to explain himself and convince Camilo of his innocence but Camilo didn't bother to listen.

"I am not going to listen to anything you say. I am leaving now." Camilo said lastly and picked up his fishing box. 

He turned around and started walking away. Mr Julian was upset with the way Camilo was reacting, he didn't expect Camilo to believe them.

And so he decided to do what came to his mind, he went after Camilo, walking at a little distance with his hands stretched forward to push Camilo into the deepest part of the river where he cannot escape, at any opportunity he gets.

Camilo!!! Someone called loudly from behind, Mr Julian suddenly turned pale. Camilo quickly turned around only to see Mr. Julian's hands stretched behind him.

"Were you trying to push me?" Camilo asked with a shocked expression. Before Mr Julian could say anything, Mylar came running into Camilo's arms.

"Are you okay?" She asked.

"Why would I try to push you?" Mr Julian quickly said to clear the air.

Mylar grabbed Camilo's hand and said to him.

"Let's go." 

He simply nodded and went with her.

"Thank Goodness I followed Elio's advice." She said to herself and heaved a sigh of relief as they walked away from there.

Mr Julian watched them leave with anger raging inside of him.

Earlier on, after Mr Julian took Camilo with him, Mylar became restless and could not stop thinking of really bad things happening so she picked up her phone and called Elio.

When she told him everything, he asked her to go there and see for herself what was going on, just to clear her mind.

"Did Dad try to push me?" Camilo asked Mylar as soon as they got home.

"I am not sure but all I know and will keep telling you is that you have to be careful," Mylar replied to him. She got up and gave him a tight hug.

After that failed attempt, Mr Julian became even more determined to kill Camilo and this time around, he wanted Mylar dead as well.

"She's a big threat to me." He whispered to himself in anger.

Vida!!! Elio called out to Vida who was busy getting her makeup done. She looked up at him and smiled.

"Coffee." He said as he brought out the cup of coffee he hid behind him.

She thanked him with a smile and collected it from him, in the cup was drained a heart shape using milk, on the coffee.

Their closeness was beginning to bother Trina. She knew she had to do something before it was too late and she knew exactly what she had to do.

What!!! Miss Emelda exclaimed when she heard what Mr Julian told her.

She couldn't believe that Camilo and Elio already knew about the drugs she had been giving to Camila. Her body started shaking and her stomach turned upside down.

Mr Julian remained quiet staring at the wall as he stood, looking out the window.

"What do we do now?" She asked, looking very worried.

"We have to get rid of Mylar and Camilo." Mr Julian replied with a brutal expression.

"Yes, we should." She said agreeing with him.

"But do you think that will be easy?" She asked after a while of thinking it through.

"I don't care about what it takes, I will end both of them and anyone who gets in my way." He replied to her.

"What about Camila? What do we do about her?" Miss Emelda asked.

"Leave Camila out of this." Mr Julian said to her.

"But." Miss Emelda tried to insist but he suddenly grabbed her by the neck, choking her.

"No buts. Leave Camila out of this." He whispered into her ears. 

He held onto her neck and wouldn't let go until he saw her eyes whitening. She was running out of oxygen.

After she was freed, she coughed repeatedly and held her neck in pain.
