THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

Christopher explained to Amber and showed the pictures of how everything was going ahead because the two marriage ceremonies were to be held at his parents’ mansion. Choosing a totally different decor than the wedding of Genesis and Elian, who, by the way, were fully dedicated to these arrangements.

-God! And I have not collaborated in any activity. When will they meet again to finish what is missing? -She asked excitedly, biting her lower lip again.

-Tomorrow morning, my love. And if you bite your lip again, I will punish you,” he threatened with a smile, biting exactly the lip where she had done it before.

-Please, Chris, you bit me hard! -she reproached, touching her lips.

-Sorry, I couldn’t control myself! ha ha ha! I got excited!” he declared, kissing her softly, to make up for the previous treatment.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

At that moment, Christopher received a call from his godfather, who asked him to accompany him, to the place where Michelle would be taken. They agreed, so to satisfy Amber’s craving and desires, he told him and took her with him.

When they arrived at the police precinct where she was being held, she was unrecognizable, she looked older, she was much thinner, than how they had seen her the last time. She looked like she was not having a very good time, even though she had run away.

When she lifted her face and saw Christopher’s face, she wanted to run to him, but the guards around her would not allow it.

-Christopher, please, help me! Don’t let them lock me up, you know how I feel for you and that everything I did, I did it for love,” she declared, without realizing that on the other side of the wall, Amber was listening to her every word.

-How can you say that those misdeeds were in the name of love,” he questioned with rage and anger.

-You wanted her locked up! For what she had done to you with Lugo,” she answered, speaking without knowing who the people there were.

-How do you know what happened with Lugo? That was something I told absolutely no one about,” he said.

-Because you were the only one who didn’t know that she had been sleeping with him for months,” she declared.

-Don’t tell me! Give me a name of someone else who knew,” demanded Christopher, looking at her angrily.

-My father,” she replied.

-Your father is a gem! Also arrested, just like you, for smuggling and drug trafficking -he replied- What you say is totally false, because I was an eyewitness of his purity.

-All this is false, someone is involving us in these crimes. However, we are both innocent,” she assured him, dodging his gaze and ignoring his last words.

-So you are both innocent! However, I understand that both were caught in flagrante delicto with contraband and drugs. How do you explain that,” he asked, so that the prosecutor and the judge would hear what she was capable of.

-It’s all a vulgar set-up,” she affirmed again.

-And the video?” asked Christopher, looking at her fixedly and changing to the subject he wanted to touch.

-Which video? You don’t listen to me, it has all been a vulgar set-up,” she repeated.

-Like the one you made at the hotel? To make me believe that Amber was cheating on me with Lugo,” he interjected. With this, she became nervous, hesitated and took a long time to answer.

-I don’t understand what you’re talking about! -she affirmed, touching her nose, reason for which the prosecutor and the judge shared a look.

-I already have the video where you can clearly see when you left Jerson Prieto, your father’s employee, at the hotel, so that he could record Amber and Lugo and make me think that there was something between them.

-That is a lie! How do you think I am capable of something like that,” she lied, putting her hand to her nose again.

-Or the one you set up to have Amber beaten up at the roadblock and make her lose my son?

-I don’t know what you’re talking about! -She growled, “I didn’t even know she was beaten, let alone that she had lost your son,” putting her hands to her nose again, this time to scratch it.

At all this, the prosecutor, the judge, the Attorney General and the detectives who handled Amber’s case, as well as her trial against Michelle, were attentive. Christopher, continued insisting to make her confess the facts and in this way, shorten totally the lapses of the process.

-Don’t be so false! I already know it was you who paid the Prietos brothers to adulterate the truth against Amber in the trial. Because they were both your father’s employees, not Lugo’s,” he said, trying to get closer to her, which he was not allowed to do.

-All of that is false,” she growled, hiding her gaze from Christopher’s. “In any case, what I did, what I did, I did not do. In any case, what I did, I did it for you, to defend you, to support you. You begged me to help you and you asked me to arrange everything with the lawyers.

-If that is true, I left you in charge of denouncing the leakage of information from my company and to put Amber in jail, if she had done it. At no time did I authorize you to do all the barbaric things you did,” he said.

-My father had reliable information that she was the one who gave the information to Lugo,” she replied.

-Ha! How could you believe your father? A white-collar criminal,” he asserted, stubborn and grumpy, “Who was her reliable source?

-They, his employees,” she repeated, sustaining the lie.

-Can you explain to me how they managed to be in two places totally removed from each other, at the same instant, at the same hour?” asked Christopher.

-Go to the grave and ask him! -she answered, with a sarcastic and almost malevolent laugh.

-Did you have anything to do with the death of the two witnesses? It seems from the look on your face that you are glad of their demise,” said Christopher, looking deeply at her.

-You are putting words in my mouth that I did not utter,” she said, rolling her eyes.

-If you were capable of planning everything you did to separate me from Amber! I think you’re capable of anything, even killing,” said the reflective one…
