THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

Once Amber calmed down and felt better, Christopher got out of bed to go out to get food for her, but she stopped him.

-Where are you going?” she asked worried and a little angry.

-To get food for you, my love,” he answered sadly, “those painkillers are strong and you drank it with nothing in your stomach,” he whispered embarrassed with her.

-No, I don’t want you to leave here,” she protested stubbornly, “Please stay with me! Besides, I’m not hungry, my stomach is upset,” she assured him.

-Do you want me to take you back to the bathroom?” asked Christopher in surprise and approaching her, with the intention of lifting her up.

-No, I just want you to lie down next to me,” she requested, with a half smile.

-What do you feel? -He asked, intrigued, looking her straight in the eyes. “Tell me the truth, even if it hurts, I don’t want you to shut up about what you feel,” he said, with his voice torn.

-I want to cry so much! The subject of my son is untouchable, it affects me a lot, they were horrible and very painful hours, to learn that I was expecting him and that I had lost him, especially because I was almost sure that you had sent me to beat him,” she said.

“Then the doubt, whether or not I would be affected, because they could not do a timely curettage or curettage. Because the director did not authorize my transfer. At that moment, I remembered that she was your friend.

-Yes, I spoke to her prior to your arrival, so that she would not give you privileges, I am sorry,” he begged again, “I made a serious mistake.

“I was totally blinded by rage, jealousy and to think that you, my queen, my princess, the only one who had made me give up my bachelorhood, betrayed me, drove me crazy,” he said.

“I felt myself dying, I cried, I got drunk, I spent two weeks locked up in the Penthouse, destroying everything that would make me remember you, the only thing I couldn’t destroy was the structure.

-And me, first unconscious because of the accident in which I almost lost my life. I lost a lot of weight, I was very weak and just the day I was discharged, they locked me up for a crime I didn’t commit,” she said.

“Then, the beating, finding out that I was pregnant and that I had lost my child. Also, someone powerful did not allow me to be transferred to a hospital. That’s why I was lying on a dilapidated stretcher for several days, until I decided to get up and not let it destroy me.

“The doctor at the hospital gave me a lot of help and support. She forced your friend to let me stay with her in the infirmary, so that what had been done to me would not be repeated.

-She called me, but after everything had already happened, to inform me that you had been beaten. Also, that you had miscarried and that she did not authorize your transfer to the hospital. I complained about that and asked her to investigate why you had been beaten. However, she did not do so.

-I reported her to the judicial rectory and that’s why she received surprise commissions. Unfortunately, they were never able to find anything serious that would merit her dismissal. Now, when the two witnesses died, I was happy, because at least that was useful for her dismissal.

“Even so, he repaid me for his lack of humanity towards me. I imagine he’s after your bones,” she replied, jealous.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

-Yes, later, with any excuse, using you for that, she would invite me to her Penthouse, but I swear I never was and never have been with her. Honestly, she is not a woman who awakens something in me. That’s why I started to stay away from her,” he declared, looking Amber in the eyes.

-You’d better! -Because I will never forgive you for that, Christopher Morillo. I’d rather die than accept that you have another woman. First I’ll leave you the way I left Lugo, in that video you have on your iPhone,” she added with disgust.

-That won’t be necessary! You know that while I was your boyfriend, I didn’t even look at another woman; because really, having you, I have everything, everything I need and want,” he humbly confessed.

-I hope so! she affirmed, kissing his lips softly, feeling better, having drained all those pent-up feelings.

-What do you know about her? -Amber asked, to check that he really wasn’t in touch with her.

-After she was dismissed she called me, assured me that you were behind her dismissal and never called me again,” he answered, smiling, guessing her intention.

“Days ago I read, in one of the WhatsApp groups, that she had left for the southern zone of Santiago de Leon, where she was appointed, in another public position. Her father is one of the most powerful men in national politics.

-Then, I’m glad because I want her far away from you and me,” she threatened. “You know, I’m not going to be jealous of anyone, the day I find out something, until that day I live with you, that’s why I have my doubts about marrying you,” she said with utmost sincerity.

-Why didn’t you tell me about those doubts before? -He asked, hurt and fearful. “Please, always ask me, whatever it is…”.

Christopher, after those words, kept silent, although it seemed that he would add something else, he did not. He remained seated, to one side of her, losing his gaze in the horizon, which was observed through the window of his room.

-Why are you silent? -Amber asked, in a soft, sweet, melodic voice that enveloped him.

-Because now I’m afraid that on the day of the wedding, you won’t show up to her, to punish me somehow for all the wrong I did to you,” he confessed, uneasy about his doubts.

-If I just told you “that I will only leave your side if I find out that you have another woman”, the fact that you doubt my arrival at the altar makes me think that you have her,” she added furiously, getting up from the bed quickly.

-Amber, what’s going on? We are laying our cards on the table, opening our hearts, so why are you like this? -he asked in a stiff, cold tone of voice.

-I think we’d better stop this, until here! -she said, taking off her engagement ring, putting it in his hands and locking herself in the bathroom, passing the safety lock. There, she got dressed, crying of feelings, seeing that her happiness didn’t last long…
