THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

One year later…

Arriving Amber and Christopher, on a visit to the Attorney’s mansion with their two children, they found themselves face to face with Rocio. This one, it seemed that she had changed a lot, she no longer went out to have fun, just like Luz, both had locked themselves in her house.

-Hello Rocio,” greeted Christopher kindly.

-Hello!” she answered, observing the two children, recognizing in them, the genes of their parents, “Your children are beautiful, they inherited their own genes.

-Ha ha ha! Yes, that’s right, Amber Joana is her mother’s copy and Chris is mine,” he answered proudly.

-I’ll tell daddy that they are here,” she answered, but without looking at Amber, all the time he ignored her, which did not please her.

-My love, I don’t think he will ever swallow me. So far, she only greets me when I arrive and then totally ignores me. The strange thing is that I haven’t had any confrontation with her,” she recalled.

-Calm down, my life! She has changed. However, apparently not yet that stage of rebelliousness. Don’t worry about that,” he exclaimed with a smile.

-Well, I have tried to approach her to make peace. As far as I can see, she doesn’t think so,” clarified Amber.

At that moment, Christopher’s godfather came down with his grandson by the hand, who had spent the day with him, because Angie and Joshua were at an event at the hotel and had no one to leave the baby with. When they met, they greeted each other warmly.

-Son,” exclaimed the Procurator, “How are you?

-Very well, godfather, I was nearby and decided to stop by to say hello.

-Oh, how nice! And you, Amber, how are you? he asked, approaching her.

-Very well, procurator and glad to be in your home! -She greeted him respectfully. “And Mrs. Sindy?” he asked.

-She is shopping with Luz! They shouldn’t be long. It’s been a long time since they left and I didn’t allow them to take the baby, so that he can also share with me.

-They also need to share with all their family, so I support you,” commented Christopher smiling.

The Procurator called the butler to serve juice and cookies for everyone. Especially, for the children who were on the carpet, each one playing with their Tablet. All three were of school age, with Chris standing out for his maturity and wisdom.

Chris had a diction and fluency of speech that was admired by everyone in the school. He was noted for his intelligence and wisdom. For which, his parents have been proud of him and have enrolled him in every activity at his age.

There was a moment when Amber Joana got dirty with the candy, her mother asked permission to go to the bathroom, and the procurator accompanied her. In this situation, Rocio took advantage of the situation and approached Christopher to ask for forgiveness for her past actions.

-I want to take advantage of the fact that we are alone, to apologize for the harassment I did to you some time ago. You don’t know how I regret having let myself be kissed by you on that occasion,” she declared, sad and hurt.

Christopher, worried and trying to decipher what she intended, looked her in the face and reminded her.

-I didn’t kiss you, you kissed me. Remember that, besides, I had spent the whole night drinking liquor and you wanted to seduce me.

-And well I did, because I’ve never been able to forget how your hard manhood felt, against my belly, when I kissed you?

-And that was when?!” interrupted Amber irritably, in a surly, annoyed voice, standing in the doorway.

-Amber, my life! Let me explain,” exclaimed Christopher, approaching her, “It’s not what you’re thinking, love.

-How do you know, what I’m thinking?” Amber growled angrily, letting go of his hands and moving away from him, “Please, Christopher, I want to leave.

-No, we’re not leaving here until this is cleared up,” he affirmed with certainty, looking at Rocio and her angry godfather.

-Godfather, I have never disrespected you or your family. The kiss Rocio is talking about was in Islander, the day after the inauguration of my place,” he said, looking at Rocio, who was very serious and with an icy look on his face.

After we were kicked out of the disco, we decided to continue partying by the pool, until well into the morning, when I decided to go to the apartment,” he confessed, looking at Amber from the front.

-Rocio followed me to the truck, offered herself to me and I explained that I wouldn’t do that to you, which is why I let go of her, taking her arms off my neck.

“Then, I went back to my apartment in the truck. Was it like that or not, Rocio?” he asked, angry and displeased with her.

-Yes!” she answered, at the same moment she ran to the stairs.

Before this new event, the Attorney, ashamed and embarrassed by the behavior of his daughter, with his godson and his wife, offered his apologies. With this, Amber and Christopher left immediately.

As Amber tried to get into the van, Christopher wanted to help her, but she refused. She let go of his arm and asked him, in a very bad way, to leave her alone. All this was observed by the driver and heard by the children.

-Mommy, why are you scolding Daddy?” asked little Christopher, astonished, it was the first time that his mother yelled at his father.

-Mommy is playing with me, son,” he affirmed, very serious. “She is not capable of scolding me and even less in front of you and your sister,” he clarified to his son, who smiled looking at both of them.

-Daddy, I wanted to play with Jos! Why did we come so quickly,” insisted little Chris.

-Because Mommy has a lot of things to do,” he clarified, looking straight at Amber, who was very angry.

-Ahhh! Well, another day I’ll come to play with my little cousin, right mommy?” asked the boy to his mother, speaking fluently and with extraordinary diction.

-Yes, my love! Whenever you want, you come with daddy to play with Jos,” she answered, looking angrily at Christopher.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

When they arrived at the mansion, he let Amber go down first and then he concentrated on bringing down the children, who wanted their father to carry them both in his arms. Afterwards, he went upstairs with the children to the playroom to leave them with Marcia.

He immediately walked to his room, which was locked from the inside. He called Amber in a low voice, so that no one in the mansion would know what was going on between them.

Since she didn’t open, he went to his office and looked for a set of keys to open the room. When he opened the door, he found Amber lying face down on the bed, crying.

-My love, please don’t be like this! -He pleaded, leaning on the bed with his arms on either side of her and bringing his face close to her hair, whispering, “That was before I came back to you, when you were with Dylan Lugo.

-I asked you if you’d had anything with her! And you swore you hadn’t,” she answered, raising her voice, but without being able to move, because Christopher’s body had locked her in.

-And it’s true,” he clarified, “I didn’t have anything with her, nor with any other woman, after I made you mine, at the Penthouse, please believe me,” he begged, depressed.

-No, I don’t trust you, Christopher! I feel disappointed, let down by you – she expressed with rage and rejection towards him – Please, let me get up! I think we’d better separate for a while and let it be what God wants.

-No, Amber! I will not part with you. Nor am I going to let you part from me,” he said, sternly.

“Understand me, please! You know, she was after me. After her rehabilitation, she never did it again, until today, when she approached me, supposedly to ask for forgiveness.

-That’s why she won’t swallow me and I’m like a bag, trying to make peace with her, when she’s just trying to get back into your bed,” Amber said angrily.

-What do you mean, again? Amber, come,” turning her face from the bed, to face her, “I have had nothing with her, I swear on my children, who are what I love the most in this life, after you.

“My love, how do you think I’m going to have anything with another woman, having you? -he questioned, regretting having decided to visit his godfather.

-That’s what I want you to explain to me! -she growled again with her eyes reddened, her eyelids swollen and her whole face flushed.

-My love! There’s nothing to explain, because I haven’t had anything with her, for God’s sake! Believe me,” he begged in a torn, intense, soulful voice.

-Let’s do something, give me time, to get over this Christopher, I’m so hurt! Give me time! To analyze and reflect on this, but at this moment, it’s impossible for you to convince me otherwise…
