THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

-That’s how I feel,” Joshua confessed, “it got not only in my heart, but in my mind, in my body, in my blood, in my thoughts, in everything, my friend,” he said excitedly, looking at him because despite the blood he lost, he still kept his cheeks flushed.

-Do you know what that’s called?” asked Christopher.

-No idea!” answered Joshua, who until now had never fallen in love.

-That’s called love!!!! So, simply love,” answered Christopher, looking at his wife, who in spite of her bulging belly, for him was his Miss Universe and Miss World, she was the best.

-Ha, ha, ha, ha! I understand you perfectly,” said Joshua.

They talked for a while, then they left so that Amber could be examined by the gynecologist, who was arriving. She attended her immediately, according to her diagnosis there were no problems, everything was fine, suddenly she had done a lot of work and that was the reason for the discomfort.

Christopher and Amber exchanged complicit glances, which the gynecologist caught immediately, smiling slyly, suspecting what had happened. She ordered him to slow down his activities without prohibiting intercourse.

-I think the doctor suspects what happened. Did you notice that she had a sort of sly smile on her face,” asked Amber, embarrassed, as she left the office.

-It doesn’t matter, love! We are a young couple, who love and desire each other. I think the others should understand this,” he assured her, calming her down.

-I’m ashamed anyway! -she commented, covering her face. Meanwhile, he showed a beautiful and open smile, so Amber stuck to him and gave him a strong pinch on his waist.

That night, Joshua left the clinic with Angie, as if he was eloping, he wanted absolutely no one to know that she had been discharged, especially her father. Once at the Penthouse, he helped her, put her to bed and then he did it, to get up early and leave for the trip.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Early the next morning, they were driven by the Rosal family chauffeur to Christopher’s private hangar, where the crew was waiting for them to leave for Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, Taiwan Island, United Arab Emirates, Dubai, Maldives and Mauritius.

While they were taking off to the Far East, at the Attorney General’s mansion, a commission, taking advantage of his departure, entered with an arrest warrant, to take Rocio, who, frightened by this, shouted for her mother to call her father.

The officials who attended the case were from the line of enemies and opponents of the government of the day. Therefore, without contemplation, they took her arrested and handcuffed to the Public Prosecutor’s Office, where she would be presented.

-My husband is the Prosecutor of Santiago de Leon, for God’s sake, don’t you recognize the mansion? -cried Sindy, desperate and unable to communicate with her husband to inform what was happening, running after the officials, who had arrived in two official vehicles.

-Your daughter is implicated in a serious crime of provoking an abortion, in ideal competition with the crime of injury, against Mrs. Angie Pocaterra de Rosal, when she kicked the victim hard in the victim’s belly, knowing that she was pregnant.

-But she is his sister! -She has not filed a complaint, my daughter is still in the clinic and we do not know for sure what happened.

-Then, all the more reason to take her away! For being responsible for the provocation of a non-consensual abortion, with the aggravating circumstance of kinship, that is, her sister.

-You can’t take her away! There is no evidence against her,” said Sindy, defending Rocio, who was crying as she was handcuffed and taken to the official vehicle. In Santiago de Leon, this crime is extremely serious.

The officers spoke to her and told her where she would be taken. She was to be presented directly to the Public Prosecutor’s Office. Sindy left immediately, accompanied by Luz, to the Public Prosecutor’s Office to tell her husband what was happening, because he did not answer the call.

When she arrived at the Attorney General’s Office, she was informed that her husband had to leave Santiago de Leon as a matter of urgency, accompanying the President of the country to an event abroad and that they would possibly return the following day.

In desperation, she went to the office of the Vice-Minister, who was a friend of the family. She explained to him the situation of what was happening and how they had taken Rocio into custody, without respecting her father’s investiture.

-Calm down, Sindy! Let me see what I can do,” he said, knowing that this was a very serious crime in Santiago de Leon. Therefore, it would not be so easy for the Attorney General to get rid of the scandal and even less to get his daughter out of such a situation.

The Vice-Minister made some calls, but he could not do anything, because on the other side, they had one of the best lawyers in the country, in addition to the strong evidence against him, among them, the statement of his sister’s treating physician and the video that was circulating in the networks.

-Sindy, you have to hire a good lawyer, because on the other side, there is one of the best lawyers in the country, I would dare to say, from my point of view, that he is the best,” said the official, discouraging the wife of the Attorney General.

The latter also tried to communicate with his friend, but his cell phone was turned off, most likely because he was on the presidential plane in a meeting with the President. At the time, they had not yet arrived at their destination, and there were still about four hours of flight time to go.

-Oh my God! It can’t be,” said Sindy, Rocio’s mother. “He’s going to be reviewed and locked up,” she said, worried about her daughter, suddenly remembering that maybe talking to Joshua and Angie could back that up.

-Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring!

“The number you are dialing cannot be reached.”

-Oh my God! Angie’s cell phone is also out of range or turned off,” she replied, looking anxiously at her daughter Luz, who, so far, has not uttered a single word.

-Luz, let’s go to the clinic, to talk to them personally,” said her mother, walking beside her in the direction of the parking lot. And so it was, as she listened, astonished, to what her youngest daughter felt about the situation.

-Do you think Joshua is going to back out of this complaint against Rocio, when she killed his son?” asked Luz, hurt by the loss of her nephew and the suffering of her sister…
