THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

Christopher, remembering what his father mentioned to him walked behind his mother, to the table where he and Amber would be placed, together with them. He was holding Amber’s hand, who was the center of attention, especially from her godfather’s daughters.

-In view of the fact that you have not been able to go out due to your surgery and that you have restarted your engagement, I give you the engagement rings that your father and I used,” placing the open case with a pair of rings in Christopher’s hands.

“This was a gift from my in-laws, following the Morillo dynasty, because both Christopher’s grandparents, great-grandparents and great-great-grandparents wore them. To seal your marriage commitment, I wish you to do so with these same garments.

“It is a real jewel, I researched it on the internet, also I took them to our trusted jeweler and he certified it to me, it is eighteen carat gold, with small diamond inlays, on the top of it, it is an heirloom, he assured me this one.

-Mommy, thank you! Thank you! For thinking of everything. You’re the best,” he replied, kissing his mother and hugging her tightly.

When he let her go, he hugged Amber, pulling her gently and sweetly to him, since that morning, the stitches were removed from her wound and she was still feeling discomfort.

-Come my love! Just tell me that if you agree to marry me, PLEASE! -He begged and pleaded, looking at his beloved with devotion, “I should ask you on my knees, but I can’t my life, it’s too hard for me to kneel.

-Heh heh heh heh! Quiet and Yes!” she cried, at last excited and happy. Watching him with a seductive and loving look, taking the initiative to kiss him softly on the lips.

Christopher prolonged this kiss with his mouth, tangling his tongue with hers, making her shiver from head to toe. Amber, began to slowly pull away from him, remembering that there were several people there, who would surely be watching them, including her parents.

He, upon separating from her, placed the ring on her and then on him, closing this act with another kiss, but simply on the lips.

-You are very blushing, love,” he whispered in her ear, her legs still trembling from the kiss he gave her.

-It’s that you induce me to “make the bear”, being me the only one who ends up embarrassed in front of the others,” she replied, between her teeth, avoiding the others to listen and with a false smile.

-Calm down! My love, there is no one strange. Come, who are here are my cousins, uncles and grandparents, apart from my godparents that you already know,” he affirmed.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Once they finished this little act, they received a loud applause from the guests. Sabrina, located at the same table as Christopher’s parents, stood up, kissed them, hugged them and gave them her blessing again. Her parents did the same.

Then, Daniela and Thiago, Genesis and Elian approached and congratulated them. Finally, Christopher’s godparents joined in the congratulations and wished them all the best. None of the Attorney’s daughters congratulated them.

Afterwards, Christopher took Amber to each table to introduce her as his future wife. Many of her cousins and uncles were fascinated by Amber, especially her beauty and her symmetrically perfect body, as were her cousins and aunts.

In addition to this, everyone congratulated Christopher, because despite everything he experienced this year, he still gathered merits to be named the Businessman of the Year in Santiago de Leon. He stood out above all for his investments and promotion of tourism in the country.

Once Christopher made the tour of all the tables where his relatives were, he returned to the table reserved for him and Amber where, when he sat down, he asked her:

-How are you feeling future Mrs. Morillo? I wish you would get used to identify yourself this way, since I would really like you to adopt my last name,” he suggested, affectionate and sweet with her.

-You know that the laws of Santiago allow the woman to choose whether or not to use her husband’s last name, it is not obligatory -she commented smiling- I am fascinated by my last name Tovar, my father’s -she answered evasively with a mocking laugh.

-But you’ve been carrying that name for twenty-four years,” he said, pouting, which melted her, so she smiled, leaned closer to him in the chair and kissed him again on the lips.

Meanwhile, Rocio, who was wearing a very suggestive dress, got up from her chair, being stopped by her sisters, to avoid a scandal. Meanwhile, her parents were busy talking with Christopher’s grandparents.

-Let me, I just want to congratulate them! Because at the end of the day, Christopher walked around all the family tables except ours. And I want to congratulate him,” she said in a hostile and annoying voice, which makes her unbearable.

So this one, totally ignoring the suggestions of her younger sisters, who were looking terrified towards the table where their parents were, walked wiggling towards where Christopher was with Amber, celebrating their engagement.

They, seeing him approaching, moved the chairs in such a way that Amber appeared to be between his legs, leaning subtly on his chest. In this way, to prevent her from approaching Christopher. Rocio, seeing her gesture, smiled openly and asked:

-Are you so afraid of me? -looking proudly and arrogantly at Amber.

-Excuse me?! Get down! You’re not a child or a teenager anymore, to be making a fool of yourself and not realize when you do it -commented Amber with a smile and gently biting Christopher’s lip, who preferred to let her solve this.

-Christopher, I just wanted to congratulate you! For the award you were given as Entrepreneur of the Year, you make me feel very proud of you,” she answered ignoring Amber’s previous comment, leaning on the back of one of the chairs.

-Thank you, Rocio,” he replied very kindly, but with his eyes on Amber, because he didn’t want any problems with her, as they were just starting their relationship again.

-You can’t look at me either? I think that’s a great immaturity and lack of self-confidence from your courtesan,” she insulted and walked out to her table, leaving Amber with her mouth open, who was going to answer her, what she deserves…
