THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

Arriving at the hotel parking lot, the two, holding hands, walked towards the inside of the hotel, making an effort to erase their traumas of that day. They were kindly received by Joshua, who, after greeting them, congratulated them and led them to his office, where he projected the videos for them.

In one of the videos, the car from which the young man got out, who recorded and photographed Amber with Dylan, who was in charge of making their separation effective, was observed. For his part, Christopher took note of the license plate number, to find out who the owner is.

As for the next video, they observed the face of the woman who took him, who gave him instructions and handed over the cell phone, with which he would take the photos, it was Michelle Fontain. In addition, the young man was also identified by Amber as Jerson Prieto, one of the deceased witnesses. She requested a copy of this.

Faced with this new evidence, they decided to join forces and put pressure on the judiciary and the government of the day, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to investigate her whereabouts and that she be punished for all her crimes.

Immediately, Amber asked Christopher to accompany her to the new offices to advise her on some changes. He, delighted to be able to help her, sent a message to his secretary to reschedule all the meetings he had for that day, for him first was his wife.

-What are we going to do with these videos, my love,” he asked, willing to support and second her in everything.

-The first thing will be to set up my office, to sit down and review and look for jurisprudence of cases similar to ours. In such a way, that we put pressure on the judge of the case, as well as on the government, through your godfather, for her extradition. I want her to pay for the damage she did to us.

-Okay, you’ll advise me on that,” he said, “Right?Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

-Of course, my love! We will not improvise anything, so that the measure and the resources to be exercised will be effective,” she clarified, hugging him and walking towards the car in the parking lot.

Just at that moment, memories of that day came to her mind, when he chased her, made her crash into a van. This made her close her eyes and let out tears, which she could not hold back.

Christopher, realizing what was happening to her, hugged her, lifted her face and there in front of the hotel staff and customers, knelt before her, begging for forgiveness.

-Forgive me, my love, forgive me! I will never get tired of asking you for forgiveness for this,” he begged, while she tried to lift him up.

-Calm down! My love, you were just as much a victim as I was. It’s just that I got the worst part and that’s why, suddenly, it will be harder for me to get over what happened to us,” she answered, clinging to him, once he stood up.

-I’ve been getting over it, because Daniela found me an eminent psychologist who was visiting here in Santiago,” added Chris.

“I have her phone number, if we have to travel two or three times a month, so she can treat you in her country, we will do it, I promise,” he said, very worried about her.

-Yes, my love! We will do everything we can to overcome this bad experience we have had,” she agreed.

“You know, I got a medical report from the doctor who treated me at the police station. She is willing to ratify everything in a process. It states that due to the beatings, I lost my son,” she commented very sadly.

-Very well, my love! We will use all the evidence available against her, so that she pays us for all the damage she did to us.

Although nothing is enough to pay for the damage she did to us, for the loss of our son,” he confirmed, hugging her and comforting her.

-This is a crime and Michelle must pay, that’s what the videos will be useful for, to show how everything that happened was planned by her,” she said.

“Also, I can clear my record by showing how the witnesses were paid by her to frame me. I don’t mind at all if a new scandal breaks out and we have to talk about everything that happened to us,” she added.

“Suddenly, this will help us heal emotionally and psychically,” she declared.

-Yes, my life! It will be done as you wish! I will support you in everything! -he replied, opening the Bugatti for her to get in. Then, he turned around and sat down in front of the steering wheel, driving off, all the way to the seat of what will be her new office.

When they got off, they entered the premises, began to review and he immediately sat at the edge of one of the desks designing some sketches of how it should be organized, to take advantage of the spaces and achieve areas totally independent of each other.

Upon taking care of this, Christopher called his staff to start working at once and to carry out the opening of the firm as soon as possible. He then helped her find what she needed to work on her own cause and get Michelle convicted of her crimes.

For the next few days, Amber concentrated exclusively on researching and preparing her pleadings and briefs to lobby the Court in the case, as well as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to have Michelle Fontain’s extradition lightened in order for her to serve her sentence.

On the other hand, she added new evidence to the case, among these the videos of the hotel. On the other hand, Christopher called the psychologist Evencio Cage, to arrange an appointment for both of them.

He made an appointment for them to visit him in his country within a week at the latest, in order to treat both of them, so that they could benefit each other.

In the meantime, she carried out this work, Christopher hired a wedding expert to finalize everything that they still could not do and made her sign a confidentiality contract. He asked for help from his mother and sister, so that Amber could fully dedicate herself to Michelle’s extradition.

A week after Amber started the proceedings before the judiciary, a big scandal broke out abroad. According to international news, a group of nationals from Santiago de Leon had been arrested with a large shipment of contraband and drugs.

Among those involved, the name of Hildegart Fontain emerged, who was detained, while his daughter managed to escape justice along with other accomplices.

-Christopher, please come in,” called Amber, who was in front of the TV in the main room of the Penthouse, watching the news.

-Yes, my love,” he answered, who was in his office working right there in the Penthouse.

-Look, my love! -They arrested on one of the islands, in Italy, Hildegart Fontain with contraband and drugs.

“Meanwhile, her daughter managed to escape, so she is a fugitive from justice. This is justice, Divina,” she said, approaching him to embrace him.

-What good news, my love! I’m going to call my godfather, to tell him and to keep on pressuring the government in charge of this, both here and on the island,” he commented, with a smile.

-Yes, please!” she exclaimed, hugging him.

-My life, something else! Evencio Cage called me to confirm tomorrow’s appointment, we leave at ten in the morning, to be back in the afternoon,” he said, “The captain has everything ready.

-Great! -she replied, now calmer and sure that at last, her son will have justice.

In any case, the authorities of the island, where Fontain’s capture took place, were on the trail of her daughter. They were also on the trail of the other, unidentified kingpin. They were not only involved in gemstone smuggling, but also in drug trafficking activities.

Against this backdrop, Christopher also became fully involved in Amber’s investigations. He managed to get his godfather to support him and put pressure on the island for Michelle’s extradition for the different crimes committed in Santiago de Leon.

It was a matter of hours, for the capture of Michelle Fontain, being the boom news in networks, newscasts and newspapers. With this, Amber and Christopher, experienced a great relief, because finally, justice would be done…
