UNDER THAT CONTRACT CHAPTER 19
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

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

TWO DAYS LATER So much had happened since the night Cameron arrived her friend’s 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 Haley’s 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 didn’t 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 wasn’t going to be a woman who’d 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 he’d 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. He’d add some other names later.“Mmm, I can’t believe it!” 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 Cameron’s face and he did nothing. He couldn’t 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 couldn’t 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 couldn’t be alone. He couldn’t 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 wasn’t th

With her eyes lost into nothingness, her mind full of memories and the words of that man who swore to come back just for her, Cameron had sat up on the bed. There were no words to say. There was no reality to trust. And that worried Bastian, who was looking through the window two meters away from Cameron’s bed, and Ace, who didn’t know what he had just heard.“I looked for you, Cameron,” Bastian insisted, turning to face her. “I thought you could be her, I wanted to make sure of what my eyes were seeing every time I was with her. I didn’t know you had a twin sister, Cameron. I did not know it.”“Why don’t you just shut the fuck up?” Ace raised his voice.“Okay, man, I’m not talking to you. I’m talking to Cameron, my girlfriend, Okay?! So, if I bother you, why don’t you get the hell out of here?” Bastian said.“Why don’t you come and-““That’s enough!” Finally, Cameron spoke.Bastian and Ace looked at her. She seemed too weak that all Ace could think of was to stay by her side and supp
