THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

-Come on, Sabrina! I need to talk to everyone and clear this up,” Piero requested, “I love you! And I’m not willing to give you up, just because you’re afraid of Christopher’s reaction -he assured, now with a smile taking her by the waist.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

-But, don’t I know how I feel about you,” she objected confused.

-To me, this kiss gave me many answers, even though we were interrupted by someone who I believe will be my rival, in this fight for your love,” he added, with a wide smile, looking at the baby affectionately.

-Please, Piero! I’m sorry to come down to clear this up,” she said reluctantly and cowardly.

-In any case, everyone already found out that something is going on between you and me. Because Christopher was the one who didn’t allow Amber to go upstairs, but he authorized me to do it,” he clarified honestly.

-God! What a shame, Piero! You embarrassed me,” she answered angrily.

-I didn’t ask you to cry! -He commented with a smile, approaching her again and kissing her lips, which Sabrina did not avoid.

-I feel ashamed anyway! -she repeated.

-Come on, let’s go! -Let’s step forward and simply acknowledge in front of everyone how we feel about each other. That’s all! -he assured her, confident that she did feel something for him.

She, letting him convince her, went downstairs holding Piero’s hand and so they both entered the dining room, where they found Amber sitting on Christopher’s lap and Maddie smiling at this.

-Mommy, what did you decide? Amber and I will support you in whatever you decide. Apparently, the baby did too, before we did,” he said excitedly.

-So it seems! -Sabrina replied, smiling as she looked at the baby in Piero’s arms, laughing with him.

-So, Mommy, what did you decide? Are you going to let him go?” asked Christopher. She paused briefly in silence.

-I will accept Piero,” she declared, without adding anything else, while he hugged her around the waist, pulling her tightly to his body.

-Just a moment, sir!” warned Christopher, stopping Piero, jokingly, “You are not allowed to stick her to your body like that, until you formally ask for her hand,” he asserted with a wide smile.

-I agree with that!” nodded Amber, with a kind smile and happy that her mother had also found love again.

-Then, give me a day to look for the ring and celebrate the engagement! -replied Piero, happy and content, looking at Sabrina with devotion.

-Perfect! -So this Friday, we will celebrate the engagement and only then, you will be allowed to kiss her and hug her tightly to your body, not before, for the record,” ordered Chris, remembering the rules imposed by Sabrina, when it was his turn.

-You’re getting revenge! -Sabrina reminded him, narrowing her eyes.

-Never, Mommy,” Chris said with a smile that was reflected even in his eyes, remembering perfectly her conditions when he came forward to ask for Amber’s hand.

-Thank you Christopher, thank you Amber! -declared Piero with a husky and manly voice- I promise you that in this brief courtship, I will obviously live up to what you both wish from me.

-What do you mean, brief? -Sabrina asked, astonished.

-Because what I want most is to join my life to yours and I think that we two are not for long engagements anymore, so we will get married as soon as possible,” he announced, getting the applause of Maddie, Amber and Christopher.

A great swindler

Having fulfilled all the requirements for his transfer, Liam Brown was sent to the United States, where he was prosecuted for all the crimes committed, including that of swindling, carried out against the company owned by his wife.

The Prosecutor personally supervised his transfer to make sure he would be on a flight to the USA, and to please his daughter, who wanted to see him one last time before he was locked up, possibly for life.

-Please, daughter, don’t cry! -he begged, hugging his daughter and protecting her from any media harassment.

-Daddy, I fell in love! I understand everything you told me and made me see, but I can’t help that it hurts,” she said, crying, hugging her father who took her out of there, unobserved by the press.

-Come on, my love! You are too young and you still have a world ahead of you to be crying for a delinquent like that,” added her father.

When they arrived at the Attorney’s mansion, his wife and daughter Rocio, were waiting for them worried, thinking about Luz’s attitude, before this farewell to her first love, according to her. But, when she entered, they observed her calmer.

-What happened?” asked Sindy to her husband, walking with him to the intimate living room. There, they watched live, the departure and take-off of the plane that transported the gringo fugitive from justice to his destination.

-Please, prepare me a double whiskey! -To celebrate this take-off, he already had me with headaches every day.

-I understand you! Because I was the same way,” she said, preparing two glasses and sitting down next to her husband to celebrate the departure.

-I swear! I was like doing justice with my own hands,” he confessed, relaxing and kissing his wife on the lips, asking her: “Is lunch ready yet?

-Yes my love, I was just waiting for you,” she assured, getting up from the sofa to inform the housekeeper that they could serve now.

-Thank you!

Then, they all went to the dining room and had lunch quietly, and the Procurator thanked his daughter for having rescued her from such a delinquent.

She, like Rocio, locked herself up more in the mansion, leaving aside her friends’ parties. A month later, Liam was sentenced to life imprisonment.

In the Morillo Tovar mansion

Sabrina, was living a time completely forgotten by her, the one of feeling loved, desired, besides sharing the joy of enjoying her grandson. Exactly one month after her engagement to Piero, their wedding will take place.

-Mommy, I think everything is ready,” Amber commented, “Christopher has gone crazy with this wedding and has organized everything, I think he is more excited than when we got married,” she assured, happy with a wide smile.

-Yes my love, that’s what Piero told me. It was supposed to be something intimate and look where this is going,” she smiled.

-It’s that Piero, apparently, had his fame. I, particularly, was unaware of that. Actually, now checking the internet I find the national and international events in which he participated,” Amber affirmed.

-Yes, I knew about them because he told me about them, I never imagined they would be so important, even though he won almost all of them,” assured Sabrina.

-So, mom, don’t complain, since you chose to marry a celebrity,” said Amber, smiling, “Now, it’s your turn to share this extraordinary experience.

-Yes, daughter, I see, heh, heh, heh! I just got a call from the designer, will you join me? Sometimes I think I’m dreaming,” Sabrina said admiringly.

-Of course, delighted mother! Let’s go, I’ll call the driver to take us,” she exclaimed all excited, “Maddie will also go with us, we’ll go through this one.

-Ok!” answered Amber.

The three of them left, for the wedding dress fitting. They were amazed at how beautiful the dress was and how perfect it fit Sabrina. Despite being a forty-eight year old lady, she looked young, beautiful and elegant.

Amber, felt very proud of her mother. On the other hand, Christopher also had to go to get measured for his suit, because he would be in charge of giving the bride away. So, the long awaited day arrived…
