THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

The doctor that Elian requested arrived, leaned out of the van and asked Christopher not to let her walk to avoid any consequences to the fetus. Faced with this, he lifted her in his arms and transferred her to the ambulance, to leave with her, throwing the keys of his Ferrari to his assistant.

In the ambulance, she was on a stretcher, while Christopher was by her side holding her hands and confessing how much he loved her. When they arrived at the clinic, everyone was waiting for them, including the gynecologist who saw her.

-Mommy, how are you? Daniela and Arantza? How are they all? And your Genesis? -she asked, looking at everyone there worried.

We are all fine, sister-in-law. Arantza too,” said Thiago, who had Thiago with him.

-Thank God,” she exclaimed, letting herself be led by her doctor to her office.

She was fully examined, and even her gynecologist did an ultrasound that showed that everything was fine. She was to be on bed rest for seventy-two hours. Christopher, more relaxed and calm, assured the doctor that this would be done.

Afterwards, Amber was taken to her mansion, a place where it will be difficult to leave until she reaches a happy ending with her pregnancy. As she fell asleep, Christopher got out of bed, where he had been since they arrived from the clinic, and went downstairs to his office.

Once in his study, he called his assistant….

-What happened, Elian? Tell me, were they able to stop those in the van? Did the injured ones talk?” he asked with an icy and furious voice, in response to these facts.

-No, Christopher, the ones in the van managed to escape. This was an area of very high bushes, similar to a forest. We could not advance in the jeeps, because of the intricacies of the area. As for the one who was shot by Amber’s custodian, he died.

They have the body in the morgue, he was a common criminal with a prison record.

“Those who were run over by your driver, are debating between life and death, we can only hope that one of the two is saved, so we can interrogate him and he can tell us if they were common criminals or hired by someone.

-Elian, I am going to have to think seriously about leaving Santiago de Leon. I can’t let this happen again or let my children grow up under this anxiety,” he said, with much anguish and anger, “I must guarantee them quality of life.

-I understand you perfectly, Chris. Although, I think we should sit down and analyze everything before making a decision,” he said sadly.

“What enemy do you or Amber have that would want to harm them? Why? Remember that Dylan Lugo has already been on the run for months. Obviously, he can give the orders from the outside,” he said.

-And if we put surveillance on his family and trusted staff, where did the Islander trial stop? Can you go down there to investigate? No need to warn anyone,” said Christopher.

-If you authorize me, I’ll leave tomorrow, it’s just a matter of calling the captain and leaving early in one of your private planes,” he assured.

-You have the green light to act. I need you to help me to guarantee my family peace and tranquility,” he requested without arrogance, “Mom wrote me a while ago that Dad almost had another heart attack because of the fear of losing his grandson who will perpetuate him.

-My friend, have faith! Everything is going to be all right and we will manage to discover who is behind all this – Elian assured – The only thing Christopher, is that Amber is not going to be able to leave the mansion for a while.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

-Yes, that’s what I’ve been thinking and I’ll talk to her about it tomorrow. The oversight was in occupying the bodyguard with the bags, besides, he was only walking with them, just one,” he commented sadly.

-I’m going to assign more security personnel for your house and your whole family, including Daniela, so please talk to them,” he requested.

-Yes, tomorrow I will discuss this matter with everyone, and even right here in the house, so Amber doesn’t move -he answered saddened.

The following day

In a private flight to Islander, Elian traveled secretly, with a team of people assigned to research work. Among the people accompanying him is one of Christopher’s best lawyers and his trusted detective.

-We will start by reviewing in court what has happened with Lugo’s case, where he has been charged with kidnapping,” Elian said, looking at the lawyer.

-Ok! Do you have the information of the file, in which the referral to the criminal judge was ordered?

-Yes, you can check them here,” answered Elian, passing a file to him.

-Likewise, I need you to find out if the owner of Constructora Lugo has returned to the country, when and where he is,” ordered Elian, looking at Christopher’s trusted detective.

-Perfect! By any chance, do you have an address of his offices or residence here? I’d appreciate it. If not, no problem, I’ll get it,” assured the detective.

-In this envelope is all the information that can help you get to Dylan Lugo,” Elian replied, handing him the envelope.

-As for you, observing two active detectives, I need you to watch me constantly and in turn, both the offices and Lugo’s apartment, who enters or leaves and who are they? -He asked, passing them a photo of Lugo, as well as the address.

-Any questions?” asked Elian.

-None -was the answer of each one.

So when they arrived to Islander, he lodged them in luxury hotels, providing them with vehicles and economic resources to move around and be able to do the job, in the meantime, he will be in charge of Christopher’s travel offices. Leaving Genesis alone for about two weeks, at the most.

At the Morillo – Tovar mansion

Upon waking up, Amber, who had spent a very bad night, with many nightmares that did not let Christopher sleep, watched him very tense. He, with his eyes closed, but awake, rubbed his forehead and eyebrows.

-What have you got, my love?” she asked, laying on her side on the bed and watching him uneasily.

-Nothing, my love! I’m fine, thinking,” he affirmed, putting himself in the same pose as her, facing her.

-You feel so tense. I didn’t let you rest, did I? -she questioned, ashamed of not having let him sleep, because she woke up screaming several times. When he hugged her, she dozed off.

-I’m worried! Do you want to leave Santiago de Leon for a while? -asked the affectionate one, caressing her cheek with his hand.

-Where to? My love, I don’t care where you take me, what I want is to be with you and nothing else,” she assured, more in love than ever, approaching him to kiss him on the lips.

-Don’t provoke me, Mrs. Morillo! Remember that they sent you seventy-two hours of absolute rest – he affirmed, looking at her with desire and deep into her eyes.
