THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

To celebrate the birth of his goddaughter and sister-in-law, Christopher organized a barbecue at his mansion, one month after the birth of Angela Maria, Amber’s little sister. He gathered his godfather with his daughters, except for Rocio who was on vacation. She was working directly with her father.

Also there were Angie, Joshua and their daughter Luna, who was the same age as Amber Joana, their daughter. They were born the year before, a month apart. Also there were Genesis and Elian, with their daughter Sol.

Finally, Daniela and Thiago arrived later with Arantza and Christopher’s mother, Maddie, who together with Luz were the only ones who did not have a partner.

Aside from the birth of Sabrina and Piero’s daughter, they celebrated the upcoming inauguration of their restaurant, which will be located in one of the most exclusive areas of Santiago de Leon.

The common denominator of this full moon night, accompanied by so many stars, was the passion that overflowed in each couple linked to Christopher and Amber. Each one in their own way, lived that passionate night, charged with much frenzy.

The next day, in the morning, Christopher woke up early and excitedly contemplated his wife, who despite being asleep looked beautiful, her glowing and moisturized skin, provoked in him a strong excitement, with which he sought his morning classic.

Christopher approached her and whispered in her ear, what he felt for her.

-Amber, my love, I love you, I want you,” he whispered, blowing his breath into her ear, making her shiver. As she moved, he slipped his arm over her body, pulling her to him.

-What happened, my love?” she asked, her skin bristling, slipping her leg over his body.

-I’m hungry for you! -he smiled, kissing her on the lips and gesturing with his chin for her to look down at his lower body.

-Heh, heh, heh, that’s strange,” she replied with a smile, “Look what you’ve done to my body! -showing him her bristling skin.

-I only whispered that I loved you and wanted you,” he clarified, thus starting the morning session, which they both enjoyed to the fullest.

One year later

Christopher, fully dedicated to his business, never neglected his role as husband and father. He continued the line marked by his parents, to work together with the government of the day regardless of the political current.

However, he presented problems with his construction personnel, for which he was again threatened with collective suspension of work. He ordered his lawyers to review the contracting and the expiration of the contract. In the end, they were able to resolve this with Amber’s help.

One way to help Piero directly was to move his partners from the travel and tourism agency to his restaurant. In this way, they witnessed the attention and the quality of the service in general, as well as the food.

He also involved his friend Joshua’s Hotel Royal, so that he could also enjoy these profits, with the opening of tourism in the capital of the country.

After this lunch and renewed the new agreements with his partners in the tourism sector, Christopher left here to his office, along with Elian. There, he found a message, which seemed strange to him, because he had been called from jail, from Michelle Fontain.

He called the number they left him, in which Michelle’s sister answered. She asked him to visit her sister in jail. Supposedly, she was in a very bad way, was remorseful and wanted his forgiveness. She had been found to have an incurable disease and was in her final stages.

-If that’s why, tell her to rest assured that I forgave her a long time ago,” he answered, not wanting to get close again to the person who had hurt him the most in this world.

-Christopher, I know it’s difficult after everything she did to you, but I swear she is very sorry and wants to clear up a lot of things with you,” she begged.

-I can’t assure you anything, let me think about it, in any case, when you see her, tell her that I have already forgiven her,” he added, hanging up the call and remaining thoughtful. Before making a decision, he will talk to Amber first.

The following week…

Christopher entered the penal enclosure, accompanied by Amber, who did not allow him to go alone, in case it was a trap of this one.

They entered together, so seeing this Michelle felt more miserable than she was. It was ironic, so much so that she struggled to separate them and there they were, closer than ever.

-Christopher, thank you for coming,” she stammered, accompanied by a female guardian, who was her support and apparently in charge of his care.

They were surprised and amazed, because they did not recognize her, she was very thin, almost a skeleton. In her face, only her clear eyes were identifiable, she was what was left of that beautiful, young, arrogant woman, who did whatever she wanted, based on the economic power she had.

She spoke through the telephone, because there was a glass wall that separated them from direct contact.

-Sorry Christopher, sorry Amber! I know I hurt you so much, cof, cof! -she coughed, choking as she spoke.

-If you feel so bad don’t speak, we have come to inform you that we forgive you, in fact we did it, some time ago,” declared Amber.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

-Before I leave this world, I want to clarify some things with you, cof, cof! -she choked again- The author of the whole plan to separate you was Dylan Lugo. However, I seconded and supported him in everything.

-Why?” asked Christopher, staring at her.

-Because I thought I loved you. But, that was not love. I was wrong, cof, cof! -she took a deep breath, gasping for air.

“He, he planned everything in the hotel, remember that this is a partner of the hotel, he always had a suite available and that was the one he used to cheat you cough, cough! -she said, breathing heavily.

-Yes, he acknowledged it in his hearing, however, he did not clarify everything,” added Christopher.

-He talked to Jerson Prieto, he hired him to do the work of the photos, besides, he was the one who sent him to kill him at the checkpoint, together with his brother, simulating a riot inside the checkpoint,” she said, starting again another coughing fit.

She also clarified about the women he paid to beat Amber, however, she explained that he did not know that she was pregnant, that if he had known, he would have had him killed anyway, because that would unite them.

Finally, she clarified that she was the one who gave the information to Lugo for the bids, to involve Amber. They, before leaving, in spite of everything they heard, repeated to her that they had forgiven her and left.

One week later…

Ring, ring! Ring, ring!

Coming out of the shower, Christopher ran to the bedside table in his spacious and luxurious room to pick up the cell phone that was ringing insistently.

-Yes, Elian! What happened?” he asked uneasily.

-Michelle Fontain’s sister called you to tell you that she just died in prison,” he explained.

-Thank you, Elian! I prefer not to attend her funeral, that day we visited her in the prison, it was hard for Amber as it was for me.

“We relived again, that horrible past, which demoralizes and demeans me before her. I was too cruel to Amber, because of her and Lugo -I don’t want to hear from them anymore, in my whole life.

-I understand you brother, I agree with you. Bury that past today! Dedicate yourself to make Amber happy, without memories and thoughts that hurt.

-That’s right, Elian! Especially out of respect for her Thank you! For warning me, if they call you asking for me, say I left the country, for business trips,” he ordered.

-So be it! -and he hung up the call.
