THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

-I love you! Amber,” declared Christopher in a manly, tender and affectionate voice, releasing his swollen lips.

-And I love you! -exclaimed Amber with a warm smile.

-Shall we go? If not, your mother will kill me by taking you so late to the apartment,” he added smiling, running the tip of his tongue over her lips, which made her shiver, “I don’t want to have problems with my mother-in-law.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

-Yes, my love, let’s go! However, I don’t have the strength to get up and go to the bathroom, will you take me? -she asked, pouting, which fascinated him.

-Ha ha ha ha! I’m spoiling you so much! -he said, smiling and lifting her in his arms.

-I feel loved and happy! Sometimes I think I’m dreaming,” she confessed, smiling.

Christopher’s apartment was located in the highest building of Santiago de Leon, in an exclusive area of the metropolis city and capital of the country with the same name. They went down to the parking lot, holding hands, walked to his Maserati and went out to where his mother lives.

The next day, at eleven o’clock in the morning, Amber left her classes and went to the Hotel Rosal. There she met Dylan Lugo, another young billionaire, CEO of her boyfriend’s competitor company, who was attracted to her from the first moment he saw her.

-And you’re not accompanied by your gorilla? -he questioned, with a smile admiring how beautiful she looked.

-Is that what you call me, Christopher? -she asked possessively, smiling and pouting, which made Dylan feel totally touched.

Dylan, when he saw her make that gesture, besides listening to the possessive way she expressed herself to mention her boyfriend, felt a terrible envy and jealousy. Therefore, he showed an extreme joy that evidenced a forced feeling and a very unnatural smile.

-It’s strange, not seeing him by your side,” he replied, with a feigned smile.

-Heh, heh, heh! -She smiled with a hearty laugh, “He has a lot of commitments today, mostly related to his latest projects.

-Ah, how nice! -He praised her, putting an end to the subject of her boyfriend, “Are you coming to the event I’m sponsoring with the Faculty?

-Yes,” she replied, “But I didn’t know it was you who was sponsoring this event.

-Yes!” he said, walking to the event hall next to her, adding, “I am interested in these events, because this way I get new, non-vicious manpower whom I will train to my liking. So I invite you to follow me,” he requested.

Without them noticing, there was a young man who followed them from the parking lot into the hotel. He took several pictures of them, which he forwarded to Christopher’s cell phone, warning him of a possible deception.

Upon arriving at the lounge, Dylan followed with her until they reached one of the dining cubicles. Someone bumped into Amber and spilled the food she was carrying on a tray on her blouse. He immediately offered to take her up to his suite, so that she could wash her blouse or in any case, he could lend her his jacket. She accepted and went upstairs with him.

On the way to the room, they took pictures of them again and forwarded them to her boyfriend Christopher Morillo’s cell phone. He was concentrating on reviewing some contracts, which is why he did not see them. Since they did not get an answer, they made an anonymous call to him.

Riiin, riiin!

Christopher, seeing that it was a restricted number, answered by identifying himself, placing the cell phone between his ear and his shoulder, without letting go of the document he was correcting.

-I sent you some pictures to this cell phone, which show your girlfriend’s cheating,” said a voice distorted by the cell phone.

-Who is speaking? -he asked curiously, dropping the document and placing it on the desk.

-I don’t think you’re very interested in who I am, but in the information I’m sending you,” he declared.

-I don’t consider anonymous! -said Christopher.

-Why don’t you check where she is right now? And with whom? -He hung up the call, since he trusted Amber.

However, he checked his cell phone and when he saw the pictures he called her, but apparently he had no signal. That made him insist and there was still no answer. Again, he got more photos showing Amber walking to the elevator, then to the hallway and from there to the rooms.

In the last photo, Dylan was seen opening the door to the suite and Amber entering the suite. By virtue of this, Christopher left everything lying on his desk, ran down the stairs, did not wait for the elevator. After exiting the elevator, he went to the parking lot and got into his Ferrari, which he drove through the City in violation of the permitted limits.

Once at the hotel, he walked to the front desk, asked for information about Dylan Lugo’s room, but the employee denied him. He made a call, then hung up and almost immediately, received on his cell phone what he needed to know.

He went upstairs. When he got to the room he wanted to force the door and could not, he looked for a maid whom he bribed and convinced to open it for him. Once he entered, he found Dylan naked from the torso up, with his back turned, looking out the window at the panorama of the city.

-What is it, Christopher? -He asked, with a breathy voice, as if he had been exercising somehow.

Instead, he gave no answer, but rushed at him, hitting him in the face, breaking his mouth and nose, so that blood began to run down his face. Dylan, still overwhelmed by the surprise attack, swung one of his legs and kicked Christopher in the chest, who went backwards, taking him with him.

Then, the two rolled on the floor until the latter, hitting him, without stopping, ended up bathing his face in blood. Amber, in the bathroom, heard the commotion, but did not understand what was going on, so she changed quickly, putting on Dylan’s jacket.

When she came out, she was petrified, observing Christopher with a sinister look and attitude, hitting the other on the floor, who was all bloody and almost fainted, because he didn’t defend himself.

-CHRISTOPHER! CHRISTOPHER! -she shouted, anguished, getting closer to get him off her. He looked like a demon himself, totally out of control.

He, upon observing her, released Dylan throwing him against the floor to walk towards her, who he grabbed by the arm, shaking her and slapping her hard, which made her bleed. Scared Amber wanted to run to get to the door, but he stopped her by grabbing her arm again and yelling….

-Bitch!… Bitch!… Bitch!… Bitch! And me as a stupid believing in you! Since when did you betray me, with this garbage?” he asked with a panting and ironic voice, shaking her totally with his hands.

Amber was in shock. She wanted to speak, but she couldn’t make a sound, no matter how hard she tried. Tears were streaming down her cheeks. Just at that moment, security personnel arrived and took her out of the room and took her to medical services. They did the same later with Dylan.

Christopher, in a frenzy, possessed, walked around the room, ready to pounce on the first prey that got in his way. However, his friend and hotel manager managed to calm him down and handle the situation so that it did not transcend.

-If you had told me it was for this, I wouldn’t have given you the information,” his friend commented angrily.

-I couldn’t control myself! When I saw the pictures of them entering the room, I was predisposed, I left the office on two wheels and seeing him like that… in leather, it got me out of control,” said Christopher.

-For God’s sake! -You were unrecognizable when I entered the room,” cried the manager, who was his friend.

-Calm down Joshua! I will assume the consequences of what happened here,” he answered, assuming the responsibility in front of his friend.

-Very well! -The manager replied, “How do you feel?

-Hurt and disappointed! Better, though, because at least I got it off my chest,” he said.

The two left the room. Arriving downstairs, Joshua asked about Amber and Dylan. And his staff informed him that the young woman was in medical services, better. However, the hotel associate had been transferred to a clinic, apparently he was badly injured.

To finish this, Christopher went out to the parking lot, looked for Amber’s Beetle, parking near it. There he waited for her to come out. When he saw her arrive and leave, he started the chase. Amber, realizing that he was chasing her, wanted to lose him, but his vehicle was more powerful, so he could not make great maneuvers.

“My God, this must be a nightmare! This can’t be happening to me,” she thought, crying and with a deep pain in her chest.

So maneuvering to escape from him, at great speed, she rear-ended a pickup truck, leaving her vehicle unusable and her passed out and badly injured at the wheel…
