SET ME FREE

The ride back to the Delgado estate was a quiet one as Eduardo refused to look in her direction the entire time.

Camilla moved closer to Quinton as the image of the lifeless man came to her mind .

How in heavens name was she going to look at Eduardo without seeing him as a killer . Deep down what happened tonight made her feel sick , how many people had he murdered .

They got to the estate and as they walked towards their room she stood rooted on the spot .

"You should join him Camilla "Quinton said and she shook her head Immediately.

"I am scared "she said and Quinton's eyes softened in her direction.

"Just go in " he said and Camilla watched him leave. Taking slow strides towards Eduardo's room she tried her best not freak out.

Eduardo sat in the dark with a glass of alcohol and a pipe.

"Come in and shut the door " he said and she stood rooted on the spot .

"Sit down "he said as she made her way over to him.

"What is wrong with you? "he asked and she stared at him speechlessly .

"You killed a man in front of me Eduardo..."she trailed as her lips quivered in hurt .

"Technically you were the reason why that man lost his life . He would be alive now if you had listened to my instruction and stayed with Quinton "he said and she stared at him in hurt.

"Why did you take me with you then Eduardo? Did you take me there to watch Miranda on your laps ? "She asked and Eduardo watched her in disbelief.

"So this the main reason why you decided to constitute nuisance at the party? "Eduardo asked and her eyes stung with unshaded tears.

"You think the way I reacted at the party Is me Constituting nuisance then it's fine " she said as her voice broke at the edge.

"I know you think I am childish and rebellious, but I was forced into this life, I am not used to the life blood or guns. Forcing your lifestyle on me has not been easy! "she screamed angrily.

"How would you feel if i seat on another man's laps in a party we both attended together! "she's said and Eduardo pinched the bridge of his nose.

"It's funny how you see the wrong in Miranda sitting on my lap. You made it clear to me that you would not consummate our marriage, I thought you were ready for anything that follows "he said and she bit her lower lip to control the words that threatened to leave her mouth.

"You don't understand shit about this business Camilla, what you did there would have gotten all of us killed if we weren't wise enough "he said and she looked away then back at him.

"Why did you take me there Eduardo? I felt stupid and out of place. She trailed.

"I brought you with me so you could see first-hand how things work here, I didn't expect you to pick a catfight with Miranda " he said and stood up from the chair.

"I am going back to Spain "she declared and Eduardo stared at her calmly.

"That's if you can leave the estate , because I would be doubling the security on you." He said and her body shook visibly from the anger.

"I have to go back to work, you can't stop me from working Eduardo, it hurts" Camilla said and Eduardo walked out of the room without listening to a word of what she was saying.

{ Eduardo's office }

"I told you to watch over her Quin! The last thing I expected is to see her in front of us "Eduardo busted angrily whilst Quinton stared at his feet the entire time.

"Your wife has a mind of her own and doesn't listen to anyone Capobranco "he said and Ignacio smirked.

"Her rebellious side can be overwhelming sometimes " Ignacio said and Eduardo cursed under his breath.

"She keeps Eduardo on his toes "Vincenzo said and they all burst out laughing.

"What's funny?" he asked and they stopped laughing Immediately.

"Quinton seems too lenient on her, I have stopped her from working for the main time " Eduardo said and they stared at him.

"She is not a woman who loves to stay at home, you should let her work "Vincenzo said and Eduardo frowned .

"Working? You think posing half naked is working! He busted angrily.

"When she gets a decent job, we can talk about working " he said and the guys fell silent.

"Keep an eye on her "he said and they gave a nod.

Camilla's hate for Eduardo grew as the days passed, she hadn't seen him since the night they both had that hot conversation in his room. All attempt to find out about his whereabouts seems to lead to nothing .

"Good morning Mrs Delgado, I brought you breakfast " Zina said calmly.

"I am not hungry " she said as she lay on the bed.

"You have to eat something Mrs Delgado, it's not healthy to skip meals and that's exactly what you have been doing these past few days" Zina said and Camilla looked away.

"Where is Eduardo? Is he alive? Is he dead? I want answers to my questions because I am tired to living my life like this "she busted out in frustration.

"I feel cadged Zina! I used to live the perfect life before becoming Eduardo Delgado's wife "She said and Zina felt bad for her.

" My sincerest apologies ma'am "Zina said and she sighed .

"Your apologies would not solve anything, I need a change . "she said as her voice shook with hurt.

It was late at night when she heard the door open and anger grew from the pit of her stomach as she watched him make his way into the room looking stressed out.

One week, and this man decided to stroll into the room like nothing happened . Like he had not cadged her in his estate.

He placed the phone in his ear as he talked to whoever it was on the other end.

"Meet me outside Vincenzo..."he said and walked out of the room again .

Camilla opened and closed her mouth like a fish before walking outside to see what he was up to.

She waited for him for almost an hour before she caught sight of Eduardo walking towards their room.

"Where have you been Mr Delgado " Camilla asked as she walked into the room angrily while trying to keep up with his movement.

She watched in disbelief as he took off his suit and began to unbutton his bl**d stained formal shirt.

"Eduardo Delgado I am your wife I deserve an answer as to where you have been and what you have been up to ! I am not a mannequin or an arm candy! "Camilla busted angrily as her lips quivered in hurt.

He stared at her for some time before walking over to the other side of the bed to get his car keys.

"Eduardo! "She raised her voice and he tucked both hands in the pocket of his formal pants.

"What exactly do you want me to say Wife? "he asked as his dark eyes dug holes in her body intimidating the living day lights out of her.

''You said it yourself, I am your wife Eduardo, why does it feel like we are total strangers ...I can't bare this ..." She trailed as her eyes stung with tears.

"Then don't Camilla " he said and her heart squeezed in hurt as she stared at him speechlessly .

"I am not about to put up with your spoilt attitude. "he said calmly.

"You can leave, I am not stopping you "he said gesturing towards the exit.

" Don't you dare say that to me "she said in hurt .

" Or what ? Your water works don't work on me . When you call yourself a wife you should be ready for the duties that follow ,clearly you are still a child "he said and tears rolled out of her eyes .

"I am not a child Eduardo "Camilla said as she wiped the tears that rolled out of her Hazel eyes .

"You cant press the purse button in my life and expect things to go smoothly for me , it's unfair "she said as her voice broke down.

"You just asked me to leave, but we both know you won't let me leave ! What exactly do you want from me ..." She trailed angrily.

"Peace "he said calmly.

"Peace of mind that's all I ask Camilla, I'm not a fan of you ruining things for me "he said and she sat down quietly.

"Just let me go back to Spain, please "she said after some time.

"Your life is here with me, in Sicily "he said and she cried.

"Eddy please "she said and he stared at her calmly.

"You will get into a lot of trouble if I let you go to Spain. People now know you are my wife Camilla. You have to let go of a lot of things or get killed.
