THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

-Calm down, daughter! Your father has not arrived, he went out of the country with the President and I have not been able to communicate with him. But, as soon as he arrives, he will settle accounts with all those who have made your imprisonment possible.

-Mommy, I want to go! I can’t stay locked up, you know I have a phobia of this, please help me,” she begged, lowering her voice.

-She answered her mother, being complacent with her, as always, coming closer to hug her.

-Are you hungry? Tell me, what do you want to eat? To bring it to you at once,” asked her mother.

-Nothing, I don’t want anything, I just want to leave, please help me to get out, to escape from here! -she whispered, her eyes narrowed.

-I can’t do it, daughter,” answered her mother, who at that very moment was thrown against the wall by her mother, hitting her head hard.

-What’s wrong with you, Rocio? And this is how you pretend to prove that you are innocent of the aggression against your sister,” replied Sindy, angry with her.

-If you’re not going to help me, get out of here! -pointing with her index finger to the door through which she entered and which remained closed. That was how she began to understand that her daughter had serious behavioral or mental problems that she had not noticed before.

She called the guard to open the gate so that she could get out, with some fear, in the face of her daughter’s uncontrollable aggression. Once outside, she told this behavior to the lawyer, who immediately saw a possible solution and with it the excuse to get Rocio out of this situation.

Meanwhile, on the plane

Joshua, dedicated exclusively to make Angie forget a little the loss suffered, was locked with her in the cabin, pampering her, taking care of her and entertaining her totally. Upon arrival in Singapore, they were transferred to the presidential suite of the Rosal Hotel, of which he is heir.

-Don’t tell me, having a branch of your hotel here, you don’t know Singapore? she asked curiously.

-When I come here, it’s only for work purposes, I don’t take time to get to know and tour the city. Moreover, as you have absolute rest, these days that we will be here, I will be alternating my time with you and the management, remember that I am the CEO of the firm.

-Okay! You won’t leave me alone for long? she asked, smiling with him.

-No, my love. Everyone thinks we are on our honeymoon trip,” he said calmly.

-What have you heard about Rocio’s case,” she asked intrigued.

-Nothing. I’m not going to deal with that, because we should be relaxed, calm and enjoying each other,” he exclaimed, pinching her chin and kissing her lips.

-I just wanted to know,” she said, with the look of a woman in love.

-Come, let me caress and pamper you for a while before I go downstairs!Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

-Mmmm!

In Santiago de Leon

Rocio spent the night at the headquarters of the investigation corps. At dawn, she, who was at the disposal of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, was presented before the control judge. The Prosecutor requested the restriction of her personal freedom.

For his part, the judge decided, in accordance with the laws in force in Santiago and especially, given the family background of the detainee, to keep the accused detained at the police station, in her female annex during the course of the process.

Faced with this decision, Sindy, Rocio’s mother and wife of the prosecutor, felt powerless, because no one in the judiciary had done anything for the benefit of her daughter. Although the lawyer she had hired had a good reputation, he had not managed to free her daughter.

In the meantime, the prosecutor abroad

Accustomed to not reporting to his wife on his travels, he had not listened to any of the voice messages his wife had sent him the day before, thinking that they were probably nonsense on her part, so he ignored them. However, he listened with astonishment to the message from his Vice Minister.

Before informing the President of this situation, he first made sure he knew the facts, so he called his wife.

-What’s going on, Sindy,” he asked, concerned.

-Finally, you deigned to answer! Your daughter is under arrest, she has just been taken to the police station, for the crime of abortion and injuries against Angie, with the aggravating circumstance of kinship,” she answered angrily.

-Why, how did this happen, who filed the complaint,” he asked, dismayed, “I don’t think Angie accused her sister.

-Well, she did! And rightly so, there is a video on which the judge relied today, to dictate the deprivation of liberty while she is on trial.

-A video? Do you have it? Pass it to me,” ordered the prosecutor.

When he received it, he opened it immediately and was stunned to see how his spoiled daughter, his greatest pride, kicked her little sister so hard that she fell down. She assaulted her even though she knew she was expecting her first child.

-The prosecutor is asking for eight to ten years in prison for Rocio,” added his wife, who had not heard anyone on the other end of the line for a few minutes.

-What did Rocio allege? Why did she do it? he asked.

-Because Angie responded to a question she asked about Christopher’s whereabouts, that he had only gone to bring them their gift, which was their honeymoon trip. -Sindy replied.

-What’s going on with Rocio?” he asked, running both hands over his head and sitting down in an armchair next to the large window of the presidential suite of the hotel where he was staying.

-Yesterday, when I went in to see her to talk and calm her down, she pushed me hard against the wall and I hit my head. She had a very ugly look on her face, she was like she was unbalanced,” said her mother.

-My God, where did I go wrong with my daughter,” wondered the prosecutor.

-In spoiling her, in pleasing her and always letting her do whatever she wanted,” answered his wife, judging his behavior before his daughter.

-I gave her love, principles. She just had to let herself go,” he commented, letting tears run down his face.

-It’s too late now, the evil is done!…,” his wife asserted.
