Having the marvelous body of his woman on his lapโas he called her every time they were alone -, Ace couldnโt stop thinking about that morning. He looked so aloof that couldnโt go unnoticed by Susan.Whimsically, Susan got up from Aceโs lap. It was easy to anyone to notice Ace was out of his world like if something was bothering, like if heโd realized something that wasnโt really okay with him.โAce!โ She called him out.โWhat? What do you want now, Susan?โSusan crossed her arms over her chest. โWhatโs 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 Iโm wrong.โโPlease, Susan, I donโt have the time to discuss this with you,โ said Ace getting up from his leathered chair and going for a drink.โI canโt believe this! Youโre such an idiot, but itโs my fault when I really can be having a good time with a worthy man-โ 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 shouldโve 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. โOh! Thomas, I thought youโd not come.โ โHow come I was going to let my friend have all the drinks for himself?โ, Thomas smiled, sitting beside him, โplease, another round over here,โ he asked to the barman. โAnd, to what I owe this call, ah? I thought you were so busy that-โ โThe truth is I didnโt want to see you.โ Diego cut him off. โOh! Should I say โthanks for the honestyโ?โ Diego smiled. โYou wanted to hear the truth and Iโm telling you the truth. I didnโt want to see you because every time I called you or even you face passed my mind, I remembered what I

โHow do you feel?โ Ace asked Cameron, giving her a cup of tea.She smiled at him. โIโm okay.โโWell, the least I want to do is be hard on you. Cameron, you can take the bed. Iโll sleep in the couch.โโNo, itโs no necessary.โโOh! You want to sleep with me?โ Ace said with a playful tone in his voice.Cameron just looked at him. She didnโt want to follow his game. She had so much in her mind that the least she wanted to deal with was some famous Aceโs game. She knew the best Ace loved adding names to his long list of conquers.โBy the way,โ Ace called her attention again.The truth was she didnโt know how to start that conversation he wanted to start since the moment she came out of her doctorโs office and got into his car, telling him she just needed to go to the cemetery and light her heart.โI need to sleep.โ Cameron cut him off.Ace smiled, realizing she didnโt want to talk about anything.โY-yes, o-of course. Of course, Cameron. Iโll let you sleep. Please, take the bed and make you

Walking through the lonely streets of the city, Cameron couldnโt 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.โA prostitute.โ 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. Sheโd walked for so long that Cameron was out of the busy city of the business men where whoever sheโd asked to if they know Diego, theyโd 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 didnโ

THREE DAYS LATER โTo tell the truth, I still canโt believe youโre married to Diego Ferrer. Iโve heard of him just in TV. Who would have said it, Cameron? Heโs the most gentleman in front of all people but a pathetic man closed door.โ Said the woman of the apron chopping some carrots.Cameron smiled without meaning to.โYou know what they said; you donโt know people until you live with them. Iโm not gonna deny that all I felt for him is this hate that canโt take out on him.โ 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

TWO DAYS LATER So much had happened since the night Cameron arrived her friendโs with a pale face, no strength in her body to stand up and her heart broken in a million pieces while in her mind she kept that word Diego had referred to her. A prostitute. She was no more than a prostitute to him.Since that night nothing was the same for Haley. Taking care of Cameron as the dedicated person Haley had always been, she helped her to lie down on her bed. When she knocked on Haleyโs door the first thing she wanted to make sure was of her wellness.A punch right into the face was discovering that Cameron was burning with fever. That night Haley did everything she could to lower her fever but Cameron seemed not have strength to fight for herself. As time went by and the moans of pain kept telling Haley that if she didnโt do anything right away, she was going to lose her friend, Haley did everything she could to save her.She even talked to her in the middle of her hallucinations, she begg

SOME DAYS LATERCuddling, feeling the strong chest of Diego in her back, Susan smiled. A new morning had come and there was nothing in the world that could make her happier than what she was living at that moment. Diego was there, Diego had called her countless times since the meltdown he had after what Cameron had done to him.Suddenly, Diego left the whole bed just for Susan.Now, there wasnโt going to be a woman whoโd want to play around with him. No one would ever fool him. No one would ever dare to do what Cameron did to him. Eliza was his only one. Eliza was his angel and like that he had to keep her in his heart. Diego had never been the kind of man who loved to play with women, but after all the things heโd gone through the last three months he made a decision.So, that was exactly what he started doing. Susan was the first one on his list. Heโd add some other names later.โMmm, I canโt believe it!โ Susan said, stretching up her arms while the white blanket covered her naked b

Closing their laptops, putting away their documents and all the notes they had taken during the meeting, the doors of the meeting room opened as the personal went out.Finally, Diego had the chance to breath out. Everything had been a little more complicate since that night where he saw desperation in Cameronโs face and he did nothing. He couldnโt concentrate as he did before, the way he ran his meetings was no longer the same. He even had to ask help to his secretary.With his mind full of thoughts he couldnโt clearly read, Diego sat on his leather chair. The personal had already left. Diego had become who swore he would not be.Leaning his head on his right hand in a worried and exasperated way, he closed his eyes.Once again Cameron appeared in his dreams. It was like a curse. He couldnโt be alone. He couldnโt close his eyes to recompose himself just for a couple of seconds. He had to keep doing something otherwise, Cameron seemed to come to him like his karma.But that wasnโt th

With her look clouded, Cameron and Renata were accompanied by each other, feeling the same pain. By that moment Renata knew the boy was her sisterโs son, but it was Cameron the one who loved him as his own mother. The same went for Tita. They didnโt care if Tita was adopted or not, Tita was their baby. And very soon, Cameronโs baby as well.Around ten cars, counting patrols where Ace and Diego were travelling, they arrived to one of the loneliest forests. Ace had indicated them to drive there. He knew Camilla was going to take the kids there, since heโd talked to her some minutes ago like he agreed on the plan. The truth was police was with them. Ace was going to confess everything.When they found Camilla, she was with the two kids crying and screaming at the edge of a cliff. Tita and Gadriel were tied up. Police were there.โPlease, Camilla, give me the kids. You canโt do this to them. You were the mother of two. Please, we can start over. Give me the kids!โ Cameron begged on her kn

With tears in her eyes, Cameron begged for Susan to have mercy on her. It was pointless to still saying that she had nothing to do with that when it was clear that it was her handwriting that had been printed on those little pieces of paper.The following day after the wedding that didnโt take place in reality, all Cameron did was look for Susan until the next day she found her. And now they were, Cameron running behind her over the hallways, trying to talk her in the declaration against Ace if he was guilty of course. If police didnโt find anything against Ace, Diego was going to carry the heaviness of another five years for faking information. Cameron wanted to save him. Cameron wanted to be justice, the justice that didnโt reach Eliza earlier.โIf you know something, you should say it!โ Cameron said.Susan turned around. There was way she could declare against Ace. Ace had been a real friend to her, if Susa did that it was going to be like betraying who did his best for her; like a

โAce was fated to be with Eliza, but I was the one who came into their way. Ace and Eliza were the real protagonists of this story.โ Diego started saying. โI fell for her just by silly conversations one day that Ace asked me to take care of his chat since heโd already had a fight with his soon to be wife, at least that was how he wanted it to happen. It was my mistake. I made her fall for me and when we met, I already knew she was going to come to me since Iโd told her Ace was the real intruder, the friend of mine who was doing that favor of talking to her while I couldnโt. I changed the roles, Cameron. I married Eliza and wanted to make up to him, so I decided itโd be a good idea if he became one of the major shareholders until he could make his company one of the biggest not far from mine. Cameron, I wanted your family to take responsibility for that and your grandfather never knew that.โThe more Diego said, the harder he was hitting in her heart. Tears came down. Cameron denied co

โI donโt know. This just makes me think that he was killed because he had some information he could use against the criminals and thatโs why they did this. They wanted him to shut up. His judgmental was going to be today.โ Explained the man, colleague of Edmund in that field. โWho could have done this?โ Edmund continued. โIt could have been anyone. You know that the man was in some dirty business, right?โ โYes, I knew it , but I donโt think they could have done something like this.โ โYou know how that people could be. Even if you owe him a single buck that can be paid with your life.โ Edmund sat down across his friend. โSomething here isnโt okay.โ โOf course; delinquency.โ โNo, Iโm not saying so. What Iโm saying is that we should find out who was the killer here.โ โCome on, Edmund! Thatโs not easy! Theyโre all criminals. We canโt just simplyโฆโ โWhat are you trying to say? Just because theyโre already criminals youโre going to let this be? Come on! I thought a little more capab

Radiant lights in a sky that only seemed to be made for her in that important day where Cameron was decided to let everything go, basically the Ferrer family. The sun rays could not shine any brighter for her as it was the happiest day of her life. Finally, after so much, having traveled that path of roses and thorns, dawn was breaking. Strong and clear rays of light. At least, that was Cameron wanted to think. She had to know this time she was marrying because she wanted to, not because someone was forcing her to do it. In a moment like that Cameron needed of her family, but sooner she realized her family was reduced to Camilla. This time her grandfather wasnโt going to take her to the altar where the only one should be waiting for her. They were going to be a happy family, that was all she wanted to think.โYou look beautiful, Miss Cameron! โsaid one of the women who served her for that day.The white dress together with the veil fell like a beautiful white wave over her.

When Bastian came back to his cell, he couldnโt help but feel like a relief in his heart after what heโd said to Cameron. Of course he would have liked she had understood what he tried to say, but there was a hunch in his heart that was telling him she just needed some time to think about it and see he was right. Cameron didnโt need to marry Ace when he was giving her the proof they needed to make Camilla get back to her place and Diego also have with he always loved by his side.In front of the cell where Bastian was, the other man who Camilla had talked with started studying him. The man needed to watch every single of his steps if he really wanted to get many things from the woman heโd just met.โIs that him?โ One of his men asked him.The man looked firmly at Bastian. โYes, he is. Heโs identical to the photo the woman showed me.โโWhat do we do now?โโWe need time. We need to watch his steps and watch out ours. No one can see us.โThe other man beside him giggled. โItโs not like p

Running behind him for more than five streets, Edmund finally got Diego. The man was acting without thinking. All those things going on in his life were driving him wild. When Cameron had said she was going to become his karma, she wasnโt just talking.โHold onโฆ Diegoโฆ Hold on!โ Edmund stopped him. His chest going up and down showed how much heโd run.โI canโt let this happen.โโYouโre acting wild. You donโt know whatโs wrong and whatโs right now. You just see what you want to see. Diego, youโre not the hero of the story. Donโt pretend who you canโt be when you donโt even know what to do with your own problems.โโThank you, Edmund.โItโs hard for people to realize the world isnโt what we want it to be with a single act. Itโs even harder to realize weโre not the heroes of our stories.โThe saying says if you want to help others, first help yourself. Cameron deserves to be happy after all the things she went through with you.โโWhy does everyone think Iโm her wrong?! Why does everyone t

Bastian didnโt understand what the woman was saying, or maybe, he didnโt want to understand what was clearer than water raining in autumn.Camilla was evil. What made him think that she was going to help him get the hell out of here? Camilla had been clear enough when she said Bastian was no longer in her interests. She had put the eye on another man. Someone who was more interesting, more powerful or of course, more handsome. For Camilla, all those years, Bastian was her happy moment after having fought with Diego. He was her little break, her better than nothing, but eventually, even that little break he was for her ends up bothering more than the fights she could have with Diego. Bastianโs smile erased. โWhat are you trying to say?โโMaybe that youโll stay here for some years if you still want to have power when you come out of here.โBastian denied with his head. The gaze he was giving her talked the words that couldnโt be pronounced by his mouth. The woman had shocked him with

So, it wasnโt a game? She wasnโt playing at all? It seemed like she was never going to trust him. What else did she need to understand how guilty Diego felt for what he did to her years ago? Now, the one who seemed to be playing with his feelings was her. One night she appeared in the hotel where he had asked her to be, Diego had confessed her his feelings and she allowed him to love every single part of her body and the next day, they were there like two strangers with nothing in common aside from the possibility of Diego getting out of there as long as he didnโt say anything against Camilla. Cameron had to be going crazy. There was no way Cameron could take her sisterโs side after all the shit she had made her go through.Getting up from her seat, Cameron looked at him for the last time. โGood luck, Diego Ferrer. I really wish you well.โ And walked off before the tears could run down and Diego noticed the truth behind those words.After all, they werenโt destined. Everything had sta
