CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN, PAIN AND JOY 1

 "My son? Are you kidding me?" Mr Luis asked laughing hysterically at me as I stood feeling so timid and weak before him.

"I am telling you the truth," I said whimpering.

"You shut up. I never had any relationship with your whore of a mother. Leave my office now."

"My mom was never a whore, you are a monster. A very bad person." I shouted at Mr Luis. Mr Luis called in his bodyguards and asked them to throw me out.

After throwing Juan out, Mr. Luis thought to himself what if Juan goes around telling people that he is his child, a child out of wedlock?

"Isabella would kill me if anything goes wrong." He thought to himself and picked up his phone. He called someone to tell Juan and when Juan got to a secluded place, they should kidnap him and take him somewhere they could quietly kill him without causing any chaos.

"I was kidnapped, I only realized that when I woke up surrounded by very built men smoking and drinking while my hands and legs were tied to a chair."

"I tried to escape several times but failed. One of the men took pity on me, he secretly helped me to escape. After releasing me, he asked me to wait for him at an uncompleted building. I waited in hiding until he came and when he came he said to me."

"You need to go somewhere where Mr Luis can't find you because if he does find you, consider yourself dead. I have gotten a place for you to work as a house help. It's a rich man's house, Mr. Luis will never think to look for you there and you will be saved."

"He gave me the address and a small phone to take with me and his number in case I needed his help but little did I know that I wasn't going to be seeing him ever again. Mr Luis found out about what he did for me a week later and killed him. I feel indebted to that man till this day." Mr Julian sighed and looked at Camila.

"I know that you must feel angry looking at me because my mother is the same person who made you an orphan but how could you still bring yourself to marry me?" Mrs Camila asked, her tiny brown eyes staring into Mr Julian's dark beautiful eyes.

"I will tell you that but first, let me continue with my story." Mr Julian replied to her.

"I worked for the Wylder family for nine years and I can say to you that those nine years were part of the worst years of my life. I was treated no less than an animal, I did everything in the entire house, I was their only servant and so I had to tend to everyone's needs right from Mr. Cedro Wylder the owner of the house to Mrs. Luna Wylder, his wife to Consuela Wylder, his mother to Dulsie Wylder, his unmarried sister and lastly Julian Wylder, the son and only heir to the entire Wylder wealth. " 

After hearing this, Mylar remembered Mr Juan Jose.

"So Mr J J is from a rich family?" Mylar asked shocked by this. She looked at Elio and Elio looked back at her.

"Yes, but they were very mean people including Julian. He was so mean despite being the same age as me, he treated me like shit. One day, I was tired of working for so long for their family without getting paid so I stole some money and decided to run away the next day but unfortunately for me, I got caught."

"You should cut his thumb off to teach him a lesson." Mrs Luna yelled at her husband as I begged on my knees before Mr Cedro.

"No Dad, I think you should simply take out one of his eyes." Julian chipped as he stood behind laughing at me.

"I will kill him instead, I don't tolerate thieves." 

"After he said this, I knew I had to find a way to save myself and so before he could shoot his gun, I slit his legs with a kitchen knife I kept in my cloth in case of emergency and took his gun into my hand. I pointed it at them, and they panicked and started begging me. That day I became a murderer, I killed them all but for some reason, I left Julian alive perhaps the reason was because that day reminded me of when my parents died." 

"After the death of his parents, I told the world that I was Julian Wylder and I was only able to do that because Mr Cedro had kept Julian a secret from the world because of his rivals and because of the evil he had done in his past, he didn't want them to harm his child. People only knew he had a son and what his son's name was but no one knew what he looked like."

"Juan Jose became Julian Wylder and to execute my plan, I decided that I needed to be in Mrs Isabella's life and the only way was to get married to Mrs Isabella's only child, the thing she cherishes the most, Camila Fernandez." Camila looked up at him when she heard him mention her name.

"Camila, the most beautiful woman I have ever set my eyes on but because of my revenge, I couldn't bring myself to see that beauty. I went to Mrs. Isabella as the rich Julian to ask for her daughter's hand in marriage but she refused me saying I was too young and naive to take care of her daughter but I was determined to get my revenge and so I made my plan using Julian Wylder who was now Juan  Jose whom I fondly call J J."

"And according to my plan, Camila was raped."

"What?" Mrs Camila exclaimed after what she heard.

"You are responsible for that. I thought you loved me." She said and started crying.

"Maybe I did but I couldn't let love stop me from getting my revenge. The plan was to get married to you and then make you completely insane so that I can make Mrs Isabella suffer and take away all of her wealth, I wanted to make her completely helpless and then slowly kill her." 

"After you got raped, Mrs Isabella called me over and begged me to cover up her family's shame by marrying you. Camila, I am sorry, none of this was your fault but this isn't my fault either." Mr Julian said crying.

Mrs Camila got up to leave when he suddenly said.

"If you are thinking of confronting your mother, there is no need for that because as we speak Isabella Fernandez must already be in the streets or some mental asylum, even if she is still cured of her mental illness, she will still die of the incurable poison I have been giving to her." 

She turned around and looked at him with her mouth wide open.

"I couldn't let her go scot-free after what she did." Mr Julian said and Mrs Camila stormed out of the prison with so much anger in her heart for her mom and pity for Julian or Juan.
