THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

Christopher, gave her friend a very special and extraordinary night and even took her dancing. He toasted with her in gratitude for everything she did for him when he was detained. As well as her willingness to help him in whatever he needed.

Later, before the drinks had any harmful effects, he escorted her to his building where, after seeing her get out of his car, he drove off in his own. He decided to send a farewell message via WhatsApp, which she evidently did not like.

Christopher was in no mood to be with another woman, having slept with Amber. Therefore, that night he went to sleep at his Penthouse, where upon entering he made the decision to call her, but using another cell phone number she doesn’t know.

-How are you, my beloved Amber,” he greeted her, with a seductive, passionate voice that he knew provoked excitement in her.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

-How can you think of calling me at this hour,” Amber grumbled, in displeasure, because she was about to fall asleep, it was almost midnight and she had to get up very early, to take an expert to make an inspection of a field.

-I always think of you and miss you, drink or no drink,” he said, continuing with his manly and seductive voice, closing his eyes to concentrate on listening to her and hearing her breathing.

-I’m hanging up Christopher! Tomorrow I have an early performance, in which I committed myself to look for the expert and take him to the inspection site -she whispered, almost asleep.

-Let me hear your breathing! Don’t close the call,” he begged.

-No, Christopher! I’m not interested in your games and fantasies anymore, that was before,” she said, hanging up the call and turning off the cell phone.

However, when he realized that she turned off her cell phone, he began to send her WhatsApp messages. He knew that when he turned it on, the messages would arrive. So, he will not give up so easily and even less now, when he will open a branch where she is.

In Santiago de Leon, summers are cloudy, winters are short, cool and mostly cloudy. During the course of the year, the temperature generally varies from 7 C to 19 C. On Islander, the skies are often overcast with temperatures easily reaching minus 3 C (minus 3 oC).

However, that night after closing the call to Christopher and falling asleep, Amber woke up in the early morning with a strong heat and a horrible nightmare. In this one, she saw Christopher forcefully punching her abdomen so that the child would not be born, because she swore it was Dylan’s.

She, in her struggle with him to free herself so he wouldn’t keep hitting her, fell to the floor from the bed, waking up from the horrible nightmare. Amber was all sweaty despite the weather. After this, she got up, changed her clothes and had a hard time getting back to sleep.

The next morning

Amber, upon opening her eyes looked for her cell phone to check the time. When she turned it on, she received all the messages sent by Christopher, that night….

[“I love you and I’m not going to give you up”].

[“I know you still love me, because I felt it, the day you were mine”].

[And I felt it again, now when I kissed you and hugged you at the airport. Besides reading it in your eyes, they don’t deceive me”].

[And I won’t let anyone else touch you, I’m coming for you! Even if I have to move to Islander.”].

[“Soon, I’ll give you a surprise!”].

She, grumpy, got up and went to the bathroom, washed herself and dressed quickly, since she had just enough time to arrive at the time set by the surveyor to pick him up and take him to the place of the inspection. She was surprised to find that Dylan would accompany her in the van.

-Daughter, please take at least a cup of coffee, you can’t leave without breakfast,” her mother called her attention, who was a little upset to see Dylan there so early.

“I’ll talk to Amber later today, it can’t be that all the time, Dylan is stuck here in the apartment,” thought Sabrina looking at her daughter.

“He never got to do it Christopher. So I’ll ask him to find another property and lease it,” Sabrina reflected, tired of his abuse towards them. He did not respect their privacy.

-No, Mommy, don’t worry. I don’t have time and if I carry it in my hands I could get burned, I’d better have a drink on the way. See you in the afternoon.

-Aren’t you coming for lunch?” asked her mother, already at the threshold of the front door of the apartment.

-No, I’m going to have lunch with Dylan,” she answered and entered the elevator.

(***)

-It hurts me not to accompany her to lunch -commented Amber, as soon as the elevator door closed, looking with pleading eyes at Dylan, who commented….

-She must get used to it, that at any moment you will get married and form your own family, so she will be alone, living in your apartment, it is the law of life -he affirmed, without anesthesia and without any filter, making it clear that if he joins her he will not take her mother with him.

-The day I get married, the person I marry must understand that I am not willing to leave my mother alone,” she said in a hostile and icy voice, “Whoever wants to live with me must also live with my mother,” Amber replied.

“That means that I must also conquer that nosy old woman”, thought Dylan observing Amber, with a fake laugh pretending to like her.

-That seems fair enough to me! Because apparently the two of them are inseparable, I’ve already observed that, in this short time, knowing them,” he added.

When they went out to the van, the driver was waiting for them and they set off to look for the expert. This diligence took Amber and Dylan the whole morning, who were focused all the time, so that the test would be highly positive to their cause, to be considered in the process, by the judge.

Meanwhile, in Santiago de Leon, that morning

Christopher received a new government commission, who would inspect the administrative offices of his parents’ company, due to a complaint related to a violation of the accounting norms established by law.

He, astonished at this new attack against him, received the commission, which was in charge of an arrogant, inflexible and authoritarian official. Immediately, he called his lawyers, so that they could attend to them, because he was not in the mood to attend to anyone…
