THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

-He’s the one I suspect the most. The strange thing is that he is in a maximum security cell and has restricted visits, so far, I know, the only one who visits him is his father, no one else -confirmed Elian.

-GOD! And now what, why do they want to hurt Amber so much? She was a victim of that degenerate, what are they looking for with this?” asked Christopher, with rage and impotence.

“Elian, search the island, where Michelle’s father was arrested, for any information about the Lugo family. I have been suspecting for some time that they are in illicit business, I must find something, I can’t just sit back and wait for them to attack again.

-Count on that, I am sending someone I trust to investigate,” Elian answered, hanging up the call.

One week later

While Christopher was meeting with Elian in his office, he received a call from someone he trusted abroad, to inform him that he had very good news about the Lugo clan. Among them, that they were being investigated in the United States for drug trafficking and money laundering.

This person sent him via fax, the denunciations and declarations of two extradited capos, who in their declarations have mentioned both the father and the son, as the capos of the Santiago de Leon cartel. So they are just waiting for the judge to issue the order for their capture and extradition.

-Please, my friend! Keep me updated on these proceedings, I want to be in the front row when they are extradited,” said Christopher, thanking me for this favor.

-I have some of this information,” announced Elian, handing over the file he was just organizing. “These proceedings are from the authorities of the island where Michelle Fontain’s father is serving his sentence,” he commented, “It came to me this morning.

-I’m going to use it to get him out of the country and give him life imprisonment,” assured Christopher, taking the folders in his hands. Calling one of his secretaries, so that she could get a copy of all that information, but right there, in his office.

Once he had the set of copies, he called his godfather to meet with him as soon as possible. He immediately invited him to visit him that night at his mansion and take the baby to meet him.

That night, Amber faced a great challenge, to visit this family after such a long time, after Rocio’s confinement and detoxification. She was very worried, because just remembering her sister’s aggression, she was terrified, especially for her son.

-Welcome! -They were personally received by the Attorney General and his wife Sindy. On the occasion of this visit, they also invited Joshua and Angie, to make their guests feel better. They were also accompanied by their respective bodyguards.

-Thank you, godfather,” he replied, and he also replied to his godmother, “Thank you, godmother!

-For me, it is an honor to receive you in my home,” said his godfather, looking at the baby, who at that moment was smiling at his parents.

-Hi, my friend,” greeted Angie, hugging and kissing Amber and then Christopher, taking the baby in her arms.

Luz and Rocio were in the intimate living room, ashamed of their previous behavior with them. For this reason, they were afraid to approach, to meet the baby. Although, obviously, when they entered they greeted them very cordially.

Joshua, walked beside Christopher and his father-in-law, in the direction of the group of women, who were all focused on little Chris. They then moved on to the Attorney General’s office to discuss Dylan Lugo, both father and son, and their misdeeds.

His godfather was astonished because they belonged to Santiago’s elite. Consequently, he never imagined that they were involved in these illicit activities, it had always been said that their immense fortune came from real estate.

-Christopher, how did you get this information? -asked his godfather, astonished.

-I paid godfather to get it! Remember that in the supposed robbery of the yacht, there really was no robbery. It was all planned and paid for by someone,” he ratified.

“According to the statements of the chief engineer, they were hired to kidnap Amber Tovar and who else if not them, could be interested in that or Michelle Fontain.

-But, why do you suspect the Lugo’s? -interrogated his godfather- It is not that I want to defend them or advocate for them, but we should rule out any possibility, on the other hand.

-Because they have been the most punished. Remember, Dylan was sentenced to “life in prison” for the crimes committed against Amber and her mom,” he replied.

“And I understand, they have suffered a lot of losses, as a result of this, to the point that they are about to declare bankruptcy, supposedly, they will do so in the next few days, according to my sources.

-Okay, son! I guess you want him to be extradited, don’t you? -asked his godfather.

-Yes, definitely. This is no longer life. We can’t go out normally, like ordinary people, unless we go out with an army of gorillas to protect us. And even then, look at everything that’s happened to us,” Christopher said.

-Don’t worry! As soon as I receive the request, I will order the extradition and I will lighten the process, because it is precisely where it is most delayed is in the executive,” he declared, giving unconditional support to his godson.

-Thank you, godfather! I will be infinitely grateful,” added Christopher, hugging him.

-That’s what we are here for, son! You can’t imagine how much it hurts me, everything you had to live through,” confessed the Attorney.

After this, they met with the rest of the group, shared some snacks and drinks, and then said goodbye and left for their mansion near the same area.

Throughout the night, Rocio and Luz stayed away and separated from the group, to avoid problems with their father. Now he had become more demanding and authoritarian with them.

Barely forty-eight hours had passed since the meeting at the Attorney’s mansion, when Christopher received a call on his cell phone from his contact abroad.

-Christopher!” shouted someone on the other end of the line, sounding satisfied.

-Yes, it’s me! What’s the excitement? -he asked, with a smile.

-They fell, your enemies! -The news is not out yet, because they are after Dylan’s father. A large operation was deployed in Santiago de Leon. It is a matter of minutes or hours before they arrest him.

-Blessed be God,” Christopher praised, “You can’t imagine the peace of mind this gives to my life. Let me know when he is arrested,” he requested and thanked the information asking for the account where he will transfer the funds.

When Chris hung up, he called Elian and informed him of everything, asking him to redouble the surveillance at his house, his parents’ house and at the company. The latter, quickly through calls from his cell phone, took care of everything waiting only for the results.

At home, after dinner Christopher locked himself and Amber in his room to exchange information about the activities carried out that day. Meanwhile, he was busy turning on the television, checking foreign channels, looking for news about the capture of Dylan’s father.

[Here we observe the arrest of Dylan Lugo, Sr., accused in North America of being the capo of the Santiago de Leon cartel, along with his son of the same name,” a Santiago correspondent of the international television network broadcast.]

[As is known, Dylan Lugo Jr. is serving a life sentence in a maximum security cell in Santiago de Leon for the crimes committed against lawyer Amber Tovar.]

[The lawyer is currently the wife of Christopher Morillo Wood, a construction, real estate and air and maritime transportation and rental services tycoon.]

[Likewise, the North American justice system is requesting the extradition of both the father and the son, so that they may answer before the American justice system for their crimes”].

Amber, stunned by the news, only watched Christopher, who until that moment, was standing mute in front of his Smart TV. He listened and watched the images transmitted by this medium, without articulating a word…
