THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

[“Look, mother! While we are crying because of the bumps and bruises. He is enjoying it, because this gave him back the woman he loves so much” Daniela wrote to her mother].

[There is no evil that does not come for good, daughter! As the saying goes, this proves that from every setback, something good can be extracted, excellent results” replied his mother, feeling a little bit of peace, although with a lot of pain, seeing how disfigured her son is by the blows].

[Yes mother! How right are you? Amber has behaved extraordinarily with him” she commented].

[Precisely the opposite of what he did to her. She is repaying him for the evil he did to her, but with an abundance of good and love” affirmed her mother].

[Why do you say that, mother? I don’t understand!” asked Daniela].

[There are many things about them that both your father and I did not know, but that Christopher told us, now that we were with him, in Islander. That girl put up with too much from my son” confirmed his mother].

[“Gee, Mommy! If anything, my brother has always been an exceptional, fair, good human being,” she assured].

[But not with Amber, daughter. They were set up, in a hotel and he thought she was unfaithful, he hit her, chased her and tried to kill her, blind with jealousy. This torments me, I would never have thought my son capable of that, if it is not because he himself tells me so, I can’t conceive it,” his mother assured].

[God, it can’t be, mother!!!”, commented Daniela].

[Yes, daughter, it is very true. But well, I have offered much sacrifice to the Lord to see my son happy, like when he was her boyfriend and he was always happy, joyful and happy. She is the woman for him. She is his complement,” she said].

[And we still can’t claim victory, because Amber has an engagement with Lugo, precisely the person with whom she was involved in the alleged infidelity,” his mother wrote again.]

[“God!”, sent her daughter, astonished].

When she finished chatting with her mother, Daniela noticed that Christopher was moving, so she approached him.

-What happened little brother, are you uncomfortable? -speaking in a very low voice, so as not to wake Amber up.

-No, it’s just that I want Amber to be better,” he commented, without being able to move his other arm, because he had an intravenous line connected to it, through which solutions and medicines are given to him. However, when he said this, Amber woke up, getting off immediately.

-Did I disturb you?” she asked, turning on the light, and looking at him worriedly, “Forgive me, love! I fell asleep -she clarified with a smile on her lips and looking at her sister with sorrow.

-No, love! -He answered, with an inner joy, for the way she called him.

“It was just that I wanted to accommodate you better, but with this arm like this, I can’t lift you,” he argued with a smile, showing his arm with the IV.

-Don’t even think about it, love! Remember you’ve just had surgery,” she objected worriedly.

-You know, you don’t have to apologize to me. I’m the one who must always be on my knees before you, begging for forgiveness,” he said, putting his hands in prayer position.

His sister, upon hearing these words between them, remembered the communication she had via WhatsApp with her mother a few minutes ago. With this, she confirmed everything her mom told her about her brother. Still, she found it unbelievable.

-Heh, heh, heh! I’m the one who’s supposed to take care of you,” commented Amber, laughing again with Daniela, who was happy to hear them talking like that.

-Ah! You know? Elian is outside, he didn’t want to leave. He’s standing guard with two other guards,” she said, waving her hand.

“I wish I had someone like that by my side,” Daniela confessed, smiling, “It’s worth it! For the record, I’m not complaining about Thiago, because he goes out of his way for me.

-Sister, please call him. I can’t tolerate him not resting. I need him one hundred percent, healthy and awake to take care of all my business,” he said, fully awake, although very sore. She quickly went out and called him.

-Yes, Christopher, tell me! -said Elian, who came in all at once, approaching the stretcher, to hear him well.

-That’s an order, go to sleep! -I don’t want anyone to tell me that you are here, on vigil for me.

“In the office, you have a lot of things to do, starting with finding out who left me like this,” he quoted energetically, because he knew that with this, he would leave at once.

-As you say, Christopher! -answered Elian, looking at him with feeling- I’m working on that, I hope to give you good news very soon, I’ve hired the best.

-Okay! Now, please, go to sleep,” he begged, with a grateful look, at everything she was doing for him.

-Yes, I’m going,” Elian answered and immediately left the room, calling for another guard, since he was not satisfied with the presence of only two of them.

-By the looks of it, you are already recovering, because that order was loaded with a lot of authority,” commented Daniela smiling and looking at Amber, to whom she made a gesture with her thumbs up.

-Yes, thank God,” Amber replied, smiling, reaching over and gently caressing her cheek. Suddenly remembering, that day was the twenty-fourth of December and therefore a holiday.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

“Today, at dawn we call Elian to rest. Christopher, today is the twenty-fourth of December!

-I didn’t remember! However, if I don’t tell him so, he stays here without sleeping uncomfortably and out there, let him accompany Genesis! It’s the right thing to do,” he said, asking his sister to turn off the light because he wanted to sleep.

-If I’m leaving, I know you want to feel the warmth of Amber’s body and not mine. -I love you!” growled his sister, who had a wide smile on her face, affectionately playing with him.

-I love you!” he commented, trying to smile without much result because his face was really swollen, even his face in general.

-I love you too,” his sister confessed, “Rest! -she ordered and went out closing the door.

-Put the lock on it, my love, please,” asked Christopher to Amber, so that no one else would disturb them and they could sleep peacefully.

-I can’t, love! You have a treatment that must be given to you at the exact hours. Besides, Daniela comes every hour to give you a check-up and Thiago’s is still missing,” she said gratefully.

-Then, they won’t let me sleep! -he answered, pouting again, making Amber bite her lips to keep from laughing.

-Don’t be spoiled Christopher! -Protested Amber- They do it because they are taking care of you, try to understand them my love. They are still anxious about you,” she reproached, with authority but with a lot of love.

-Yes, that’s right! Nevertheless, come lie down next to me, I need to feel your warmth, your smell, everything from you. That’s my only and best medicine,” he assured cheerfully in spite of everything.

-Then I’m going on patent! -She alluded. “That way I’ll become a billionaire,” she replied with a smile, looking him in the eyes.

-Don’t even think about it! That medicine is mine alone and exclusively, for no one else,” he answered selfishly, pulling her by the hand with his free hand towards his body…
