Mirabelle's POV continues
Santiago interferes, freeing Camilla from Adrian's hold and holding her behind him for numerous motives.
“Watch yourself Adrian, you're hurting her.” Santiago growls in annoyance.
“Hurting her? She killed my baby Santiago, but why Mia, why did you do it?” he asks, peeking over Santiago's shoulder to where Camilla stands.
Camilla instantly shakes her head, “I didn't push her, I promise I did no–”.
“What the fuck do you mean by that? Angel says you did it and it was only the three of you out there, or perhaps her best friend did?” he roars, his hands twitching with every word he says. Camilla shakes her head and he lets out an empty chuckle, “So then did she get pushed by a ghost?” he asks, his tone growing higher and frightening with each passing second.
I shake my head, “Adrian, if Camilla says she didn't push her then she didn't do it.” I finally say, my feet moving to meet them.
“No? So who did it, do you suppose Angel threw herself down the stairs?” he counters.
Yes, that bitch is crazy, I wouldn't put it past her but I don't say it, I don't try to instigate him further than this. He seems angry, you can't reason with a hard headed, hot head. There's two sides of this story and right now it seems like a two against one situation so yes, this is what it is. Adrian has already taken Angel's version of what transpired into his mind and as long as he stays mad, we won't get through to him.
“I am not saying Angel pushed herself but Camilla didn't do it either, she wouldn't hurt a fly so how could she hurt Angel?” Santiago asks, matching Adrian's tone.
Adrian stretches his hand out, his fist hitting the wall, a crack visible and the blood of his knuckles now imprinted on the wall. “Stop, stop fucking defending her, she killed pushed Angel and killed our baby, she wasn't happy about it. I know I fucked up but my child didn't have to pay for it Camilla, you could have done anything to get back at me but killing my son?” he asks, this time his tone cracking, the pain visible now.
Camilla steps away from behind Santiago, I want to tell her not to because he doesn't look like the safest person to be around right now but the words are caught in my throat. Luckily, Santiago doesn't let her too far from his reach or too close to Adrian's reach. “I swear I didn't push her, please believe me— I don't know what happened, she was was taunting me and I told her to leave me alone the–then she started screaming and fell, I didn't do anything Adrian, I-”
Adrian interrupts, stepping closer to her and she backs away, “You said you wish Angel and my child die right? Well, congratulations, you killed my child and now Angel wants to kill herself too.”
“No,” Camilla cries out. “I didn't do it, why would I do that? I made peace with her.”
“You put on an act, I know you didn't fully accept the fact that she'd give me my first child.” He snorts bitterly.
Camilla shakes her head, trying to find her words when her gaze finally discerns his bleeding knuckles. Her hand reaches out to them but he yanks his arm away, making Camilla plummet to the floor next to Santiago's feet.
My mouth widens, an audible gasp escaping my parted lips. “Adrian! She says she didn't do it, how fucking hard is it to believe her?”
“I want to believe her, but the evidence all points to her. She killed my child and hurt Angel in a jealous fit.” he seethes, his gaze dropping to Camilla who simply shakes her head at him. I want to understand him but this is no way to treat Camilla, her words shouldn't be questioned by anyone, especially not him. He was in the wrong here, he is the one that knocked up his side whore while she was suffering. “You know,” I begin, my gaze on Adrian. “If we are placing blame where it belongs, how about this is your fault. You shouldn't have gotten her pregnant in the first place, while Camilla was hurting you were screwing Angel but she didn't blame you for shit, not even when she tried to kill herself because of you and that bitch.”
“Well maybe she should have died.” he hisses.
“Adrian!” Santiago warns, my gaze drops to Camilla. I can't believe he just said that about her and neither can she, she's frozen in place, I'm not sure she's breathing anymore.
“I don't want to see this angelic face of hers that deceived me and murdered my child, she disgusts me, she is nothing but a worthless, good for nothing, liar. I was so good to her and this is how she repays me? I fucking loved her, I changed who I was for her sake. I put up with her annoying and embarrassing ass but you know what, take her back to Ryan if you must, I'm sure he was so relieved when I took her off his hands but even I regret taking her.”
Camilla composes herself, finding her balance but still a crying mess. “You don't mean that, you're just mad. You love me, remember?” she mummers, her gaze drifting to Santiago. “Tell him he loves me and he's just mad.” she begs, when Santiago doesn't respond, she shakes her head, her gaze falling on Adrian again and he stares at her with disdain. “You said you love me forever.” she whispers.
“No, I fucking hate you right now.”
