THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

His mother, realizing that she shouldn’t meddle in their affairs, preferred to leave the matter there, adding.

-Great, son! If there’s one thing I admire in you, it’s that ability you have to face challenges and come out of them victorious,” his mother Maddie said proudly.

-Christopher, we want to spend Christmas Eve with you, besides, tomorrow is your birthday and apparently from what Thiago told us, you will spend it here,” announced his father, changing the conversation.

-No problem for me! Amber, will you be spending it with me too, won’t you? -he asked, looking at her fixedly, with a mischievous and seductive look, in spite of how inflamed one of her eyes was.

-Yes, I will definitely be with you today and tomorrow, your birthday,” she assured him, with a smile without looking at his parents, so as not to feel more embarrassed.

They stayed for about two hours, then they were joined by Daniela and Thiago, who promised to pass, personally, everything that their mother would bring for Christmas dinner. Almost, to leave, Sabrina arrived with juices and cookies prepared by herself and that she knows Christopher loves.

-Thank you, mommy! -he expressed, affectionately as he used to call her before. Christopher’s father watched in amazement at the love and affection these women selflessly felt for his son. In spite of everything he did to them, there they both were, supporting and caring for him.

-It’s nothing, Christopher! It is a matter of solidarity, it hurts me a lot that they have done this to you -she expressed without any doubts and with marked sincerity.

Meanwhile, outside in the hospital parking lot, hidden inside one of his collector cars, was Dylan Lugo, who was following Sabrina, to know exactly where his daughter was. Immediately, he watched as she entered the visiting area.

“Damn… old woman! I bet she’s pimping her daughter,” he deliberated, feeling mocked by Amber and her mother.

Immediately, he called his assistant and demanded to find out at once, in which Clinic or Hospital Christopher Morillo was hospitalized. In less than ten minutes, he received the requested information and it was precisely in that same place where he was.

He immediately deduced that Amber was not on a trip with a friend. Surely, she was there taking care of Morillo’s “bastard”. However, he could not prove this theory, because he saw Amber’s mother leaving alone again.

Faced with this and in order not to be discovered, he left the place, calling a couple of delinquents, who always do his dirty work for him. He ordered them to watch Amber Tovar’s entrance and exit from this hospital, whom they should follow and warn him quickly.

In any case, he insisted again to contact Amber by phone or WhatsApp and it was turned off, and the messages did not reach him.

Meanwhile, in Christopher’s room once his parents left, Amber complained to him about having talked to his mother, about her, as if she was not there. Besides, that because of her fault and her constant eagerness for him to kiss her, they were caught kissing, so she felt very embarrassed.

-Calm down, love! My parents must know perfectly well, that everything that is happening is my fault, they have always defended you, not even when I was so blind, they took my side -he confessed, naughty and sorry.

Amber stayed watching him and could see how some bruises had already disappeared, probably because of the creams and ointments she applied to him. At that moment, Thiago entered with another doctor, who examined him.

Good afternoon,” greeted his brother-in-law, “How are you feeling, brother-in-law?

-Better, Thiago! Having Amber here with me, I’m in paradise, I’m sure I’ll get well quickly,” he confessed, honestly without taking his eyes off her.

-That’s what your sister and I know! Hi Amber! Is she sleeping? -he asked her curiously.

-Yes! I think the painkillers and analgesics anesthetize him and he falls asleep quickly,” she assured him.

We’ve come to examine him. Can you take him to X-ray for an x-ray? -he asked, kindly.

-Yes, I imagine they’ll let me take him in a wheelchair, because I don’t think it would be good to expose him to walking there,” she commented.

-Yes, I will send for one,” answered Thiago, “However, first we will check his wound.

Amber wanted to leave so that they could work more comfortably, but Christopher did not allow it and Thiago consented in that sense. Before leaving, the other doctor informed her that she should bathe him very carefully, so that the wound would not get wet, because later they would come to change the bandage.

Christopher, staring at her and smiling, watched as she blushed and bit her lips, making an affirming motion with just her head. Then Thiago helped him sit up, stand up and take a few steps into the room.

After they left, he leaned against her and went into the bathroom to wash up, not giving her time to think about it because it would be more awkward. Once in the bathroom, she helped him undress, so he wouldn’t make any movements that could hurt his wound.

Amber at first, as he was serious and quiet, concentrated only on removing his clothes. To do so, she stood on her tiptoe and helped him take off his sweater, then bent down a little, to pull down his pants. He was not wearing underwear, to avoid rubbing against her wound.

Once naked, she felt like her face was going to explode from how red and hot it was, she didn’t need to look in front of a mirror to see his face, just imagining it was more than enough.

Despite the fact that in the past they were a couple and now, recently, they were back together, she could not avoid this reaction and felt very embarrassed.

-What’s the matter, my love? It’s not the first time you’ve seen me naked, or at least undressed me,” he nodded, standing next to her.

-Please, Christopher! Don’t make me feel worse than I already feel, it was enough with the embarrassment in front of your parents -she claimed, very sensitive.

-Relax, my love, relax! You know my body as well as I know yours,” she argued, “It’s still yours alone.

-Don’t lie to me! Can you swear to me on a bible, that during all this time you haven’t been with any woman? -she asked with doubt and displeasure, raising her face and fixing her eyes on his.

– “No!” he answered, lowering his gaze, feeling cornered by her, but taking her gently by the waist-“You know that I was full of jealousy and rage, it is as if I had lost the capacity for reasoning and wise decisions.

“Now, I ask you the same question, and you? -he demanded with a defiant look.

-I have no problem answering that question, during my twenty-four years, only one man has seen, touched, caressed and penetrated my body: you, Christopher Morillo,” she answered, staring into his eyes, unblinking and holding his gaze…
