La Catelina (English Romance)
Episode 3
Amanda
Camilla, can I talk to you for a minute?
Camilla was on the phone at the Rusell mansion. She nodded and soon hung up the call
Amanda
Baby, I love you. Julie loves you. But you know about Mike and Lily...
Camilla
What's new with them?
Amanda
I did invite you on our dinner tonight but...
Camilla
Mike don't want me there?
Amanda
I'm sure his intentions are good and is just looking our for his daughter. He just doesn't want to lose them like they did with Adriana.
Camilla
So the point is... I should not be joining you guys for Julie's mystery fiancé reveal?
Amanda couldn't say it out loud. She loves Camilla just as she does her step daughters
Camilla
Fine, I don't wanna ruin it for Juliana.
Amanda
I know this is hard--
Camilla
But I'm not doing this for Nr. Rusell. This is solely for the peace of my sister
Amanda
I know. Juliana will be upset about this but I'll make sure to console her before dinner
Camilla didn't respond. What was there to respond to? Everyone except Julie and Mrs. Russell hated her to their core. Her presence irritates them
Camilla
It's okay. This is not the first time Mike has done this to me
Amanda
I'm deeply sorry. It hurts me to tell you all this. You've done a lot for Julie
Camilla
I wish Mike knee that
Amanda
I'm sure someday he will fall into his senses
Amanda
Maybe it's time you find your own person too, Camilla
Camilla
I told you, there's no person for me. I'm a scorned woman no man would want as a wife. I don't wanna be anyone's girlfriend either. It's either wife or I'm single
Amanda
What do you think about Robert?
Camilla
It wouldn't work, he's only gonna be with me for a good time
Amanda
I really want to see you at least get engaged before Julie's wedding
Camilla
Mom.... I appreciate your concern. I gotta go now. You must've a lot of preparation to focus on for now
Amanda
And what about Mr. Lawrence?
Camilla let out an inaudible gasp. Mr. Lawrence... his name send shivers down her spine
Camilla
I'm not really in the mood to talk about any of this mom
Camilla
No, I request you to please respect my wishes
Amanda
So how long are you gonna hang around being single and flirting with old men for business?
Amanda
Enough is enough Camilla. You are a young pretty woman, get your grip
Camilla
I have a grip of my own
Amanda
It is not enough. It is not planting you to the ground. Your life is wavering sometimes and you get yourself in all this danger
Camilla
It shouldn't matter to you
Amanda
It does matter Camilla!
Camilla
You're not my biological mom! Heck, you're not even my step mom!
Amanda's brows crinkled. Her mouth parted slightly.
Camilla
Don't worry about me. You can worry about your step daughters and your husband
Camilla
I never had anyone pull me out of the greatest misery in my life. Now I don't expect anyone to look out for me. I'm better off like this. Alone and secluded, misjudged and excluded.
Amanda
You are family, Camilla dear
Camilla
Is that so? Maybe that's why Mike didn't want me to join for dinner...
Amanda was silent. She was conflicted.
Camilla
Will see you later, mom
