UNDER THAT CONTRACT CHAPTER 15
Seeing the crowd walking over the wide streets, Diego kept his eyes busy watching the young smiles on the people’s faces, the energy boosting their bodies to move around the entire city. There were men hang in hang with their women. There were kinds accompanying their parents. And the most important, the love being seen through their actions between each other. Would he be able to feel love in his heart someday? Would he be able to walk like those men with their women of the happy faces? He didn´t know why but in those two months that had gone by the distance between him and Cameron had started to short. Or at least, that was what he wanted to think. Cameron had to be pregnant. He needed to think so in order to not overthink about his future.Slowly, Diego closed his eyes.“Tell me where’s that baby of yours? The time is running out, and I’m afraid we have to announce that heir in two weeks.”Diego looked down. “She’s pregnant, right, Diego?” The old man insisted. Diego’s body jum

Driving around the streets, just the lights poles illuminating the city and silence making more noises than his thoughts, Diego tried to think straight. Where they could be? Diego had already visited around four or five restaurants and there was no signal of them.Hitting the steering wheel, a couple of restaurants came to his mind. Ace loved those restaurants and he had gone there a thousands of times with other thousands of girls. Ace had to be there with Cameron. And Cameron wasn’t like any other woman he’d ever met.Arriving to the second restaurant Diego realized this one had more people than any other he had gone to that night. Looking for them, he walked through the fancy tables.“I feel sleepy,” Cameron said, yawning for the fourth time after having drunk barely three glasses of wine.Ace giggled, caressing her smooth skin. “You don’t know how to drink, do you?”Almost closing her eyes, Cameron had the strength to look up and meet Ace’s gaze.“Let’s go, Cameron, I’ll take you

Opening the door of his office after arriving a little late, letting everyone know that something had to be happening since Diego wasn’t the kind of man who liked to take advantage when he was the CEO of the company, a smile was drawn on his face when he saw the image of his friend sitting on the chair in front of his desk with a cup of coffee in his hands.“Edmund!” Diego greeted him.The man whose name was Edmund stood up.“God heard my prayers. I thought you’d not come.” Edmund hugged his friend, giving a couple of palms on the back.“Please, take a seat, Edmund. How can I help you now?”“Hey, man! Do you think I’m here for something? Come on! I’m no longer that kind of man.”Diego laughed. “If you say so.”“Anyways, I just come to say goodbye, Diego.”Diego looked at him in surprise. “What? Where? I mean, why? Where are you going?”Edmund smiled. “My labor is finished here. You know, new competences every day that I feel like I’m no longer needed.”Those words sounded like the con

Having the marvelous body of his woman on his lap–as he called her every time they were alone -, Ace couldn’t stop thinking about that morning. He looked so aloof that couldn’t go unnoticed by Susan.Whimsically, Susan got up from Ace’s lap. It was easy to anyone to notice Ace was out of his world like if something was bothering, like if he’d realized something that wasn’t really okay with him.“Ace!” She called him out.“What? What do you want now, Susan?”Susan crossed her arms over her chest. “What’s going on with you? You suddenly called me and asked me to come to your apartment. I though I was coming to have a good moment, but I see I’m wrong.”“Please, Susan, I don’t have the time to discuss this with you,” said Ace getting up from his leathered chair and going for a drink.“I can’t believe this! You’re such an idiot, but it’s my fault when I really can be having a good time with a worthy man-” She continued saying while Ace kept busy in his drink.Those words resounded in his h

Third drink of the night and the last memories of Cameron kept repeating in his mind. He was such an idiot. How come he let her go with that womanizer who just wanted one thing? He should’ve said something, done something, but not. He just preferred see how his wife was taken from him and do nothing. Finally, the await came to an end when on his back he felt a couple of slaps. Diego turned around and put himself on a smile. “Oh! Thomas, I thought you’d not come.” “How come I was going to let my friend have all the drinks for himself?”, Thomas smiled, sitting beside him, “please, another round over here,” he asked to the barman. “And, to what I owe this call, ah? I thought you were so busy that-” “The truth is I didn’t want to see you.” Diego cut him off. “Oh! Should I say ‘thanks for the honesty’?” Diego smiled. “You wanted to hear the truth and I’m telling you the truth. I didn’t want to see you because every time I called you or even you face passed my mind, I remembered what I

“How do you feel?” Ace asked Cameron, giving her a cup of tea.She smiled at him. “I’m okay.”“Well, the least I want to do is be hard on you. Cameron, you can take the bed. I’ll sleep in the couch.”“No, it’s no necessary.”“Oh! You want to sleep with me?” Ace said with a playful tone in his voice.Cameron just looked at him. She didn’t want to follow his game. She had so much in her mind that the least she wanted to deal with was some famous Ace’s game. She knew the best Ace loved adding names to his long list of conquers.“By the way,” Ace called her attention again.The truth was she didn’t know how to start that conversation he wanted to start since the moment she came out of her doctor’s office and got into his car, telling him she just needed to go to the cemetery and light her heart.“I need to sleep.” Cameron cut him off.Ace smiled, realizing she didn’t want to talk about anything.“Y-yes, o-of course. Of course, Cameron. I’ll let you sleep. Please, take the bed and make you
UNDER THAT CONTRACT CHAPTER 21
Walking through the lonely streets of the city, Cameron couldn’t stop crying with some of her belongings between her hands. All she had in mind was the idea he treated her, the way he kicked her out of his house and the last words he said.‘A prostitute.’ He had called her a prostitute just because she slept in the apartment of another person who offered her the protection she needed that night?No one could know how much long she had been walking by. Not even her.Her empty stomach demanding something to have to digest, her headache making the front cloudy. She’d walked for so long that Cameron was out of the busy city of the business men where whoever she’d asked to if they know Diego, they’d answer with a smile on their faces while nodding.Now, just poor streets with people who walked back and forth, some of them with their children, other ones taking care of their little business and some more working on anything that could pay for the meals of that day.For an instant, she didn’

THREE DAYS LATER “To tell the truth, I still can’t believe you’re married to Diego Ferrer. I’ve heard of him just in TV. Who would have said it, Cameron? He’s the most gentleman in front of all people but a pathetic man closed door.” Said the woman of the apron chopping some carrots.Cameron smiled without meaning to.“You know what they said; you don’t know people until you live with them. I’m not gonna deny that all I felt for him is this hate that can’t take out on him.” Cameron continued her story while washing some vegetables sitting at the table.The truth was the little space where Haley had been living for the last six years after her father had decided to put a gun under his mouth and end his life like a coward just for not being brave enough and learn to believe with limitations, lacked of everything. If they needed water, she and all the neighborhoods had to carry it from the lake 200 meters away.That was the reason Cameron was washing the vegetables in a bowl to rescue t
