THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

-Help me, Chris! -She insisted, pouting, which he imagined.

-There’s a golden one that will mold to your body like a second skin. It’s decorated with little pieces of mirrors or something like that, I’m sure that with the lights of the place, it must look extraordinary,” he affirmed.

-Who?” she questioned, “The suit or me?” she asked seductively and provocatively, aware that a brief message like that will wake up the “great Thor” instantly.

-Do you know what you are producing in me with that question?” he replied and threatened, smiling and weak before her.

-Heh, heh, heh! No idea,” she said, thinking how will he come to look for her?

-You are cruel to me! I have a videoconference at the moment, which I can’t reschedule. You’re saved because of that, if I didn’t leave and even on the floor I’d do it to you,” he assured her, awakening the desire in her strongly.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

-I’ll wait for you anyway! -she answered, with a sweet, seductive and melodic voice.

-Wait for me! Let me see how I get out of this quickly! -he begged, wanting her as always- I love you and want you just the same -he confessed in his husky and manly voice, fearing he could not concentrate on the activity he had.

Christopher talked to Elian to know if he could substitute him in the conference, because he needed to do something urgently, to surprise Amber. He immediately agreed and let him leave early. After all, he is very grateful to him for the mansion he just gave him, which cost a huge fortune.

Christopher quickly went out to his mansion, finding his wife preparing the jacuzzi for the two of them to get in, since she sensed that he would leave everything aside to come and make love to her. And so it was…

-Heh, heh, heh! I guessed it,” she commented, when she saw him standing in the bathroom doorway, watching her with a burning and malicious look.

-You knew what you would provoke in me, with that comment! So any problems at today’s conference, Mrs. Morillo, will be your responsibility,” approaching her to undress her and put her in the jacuzzi himself, thus beginning this idyllic romantic session.

Afterwards, he took her to dinner, where they were welcomed with open arms by his potential partners in the tourism industry. From this dinner, he emerged triumphant with new service contracts for his high-class clients. She was very proud of her husband’s negotiating skills.

Amber was here as a spectator and was able to witness all the tools he used to negotiate. She recalled that time when she represented the union and he did not bring out these skills, so as she got into her Bugatti, she asked him, “Why did you let me negotiate?

-Why did you let me win in the negotiation we held when the union?” she inquired, curiously.

-Because it was a way to attract you back to me and to keep you close. Even though I didn’t know what had really happened, I felt I shouldn’t lose you.

I always knew, you are the woman of my life, even though I was wrong, believing in others,” he said, convinced of this.

-Ha! And I thought I was a great winner because I beat you,” she affirmed, feeling disappointed.

-You’re the only one I want to lose all my fights or arguments with, as long as I always have you by my side,” he assured her.

-You are my life, Christopher! -she confessed.

-And you are mine,” he added.

Meanwhile, at the Morillo Wood Mansion

Daniela is waiting for the ambulance to take her father to the clinic. She sees him in very bad shape and Thiago is on duty, so Arantza had to be left with the housekeeper, because the person in charge of the girl was on leave.

She, while riding in the ambulance with her parents, wrote to her brother.

[Christopher, I’ll wait for you at the Clinic, please daddy got sick” she chatted].

[“What happened to him?” asked Christopher].

[“He had a heart attack, but now he looks really bad, I need you, brother” she replied].

[I’ll be there in fifteen minutes, I’m coming out of a business dinner” he added].

[Okay! I’ll be waiting for you,” she begged].

[Where are you?” he asked].

[I’m in the ambulance, with him and mom. She looks bad too, although she is crying silently,” he said].

[I’m on my way out, please try to stay calm so that mommy stays calm,” he begged].

[That’s it, I’m trying!” she replied].

When they all met at the clinic, Christopher hugged his mother and held her like this, while Daniela came in with Thiago. They struggled hard with him, it had been about twenty minutes since they arrived, when when they moved him to the intensive care ward, he had another heart attack, which took his life.

Daniela threw herself over her father, while Thiago held her because there was nothing else to do. He had been very affected since the boat accident, he did not want to leave the mansion for fear of kidnapping and his health deteriorated little by little.

Thiago had the hard role of informing the family of the death of Mr. Ozzi Morillo. He was a good, hardworking man for whom his family always came first. He instilled principles and values that made his children extraordinary human beings.

Christopher, seeing Thiago hugging his sister, who was crying, suspected the worst. He closed his eyes, taking Amber by the hand, squeezing her tightly. In this state, he only dedicated himself to listen to what his brother-in-law had to say.

-I’m sorry Maddie, I’m sorry Christopher, Amber, we did everything we could, but the last heart attack was fulminating,” he confessed with a deep feeling of sadness, because he loved Ozzi very much.

-NOOOOOO!” was a single scream that came from Maddie’s lips and from the depths of her heart. He was the love of her life, along with her two children- OZZI! You can’t leave me alone!

-Mommy, please calm down!” cried Christopher, who was crying, hugging Maddie and Amber. Each of them was in one of his arms, crying, clinging to him.

-Mommy, we did everything possible and impossible! But he’s gone…” added Daniela, sad and very upset that there was nothing more she could do.

-Daughter! He has been my life, my love, my reason for living, just like you. Since we became sweethearts, I was the apple of his eye, and he was the apple of mine. It can’t be! she murmured, crying, asking her daughter to take her to where he was.

-Let’s go, mother!” Thiago accompanied them and took them both by the hands. Behind them, Christopher and Amber were hugging each other, crying with immense sadness.

-My love, I didn’t think this moment would come so soon! How it hurts!” said Christopher, letting his tears run, which were wiped by Amber, with her own hands.

-Yes, my love! I feel this pain strongly, I can perfectly imagine yours and mom’s, Maddie,” she added, crying silently, clinging more to his waist…
