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
“You have to eat something.” Ace insisted for the fifth time.Lost in her thoughts, Cameron just looked at him. Last night had been one of the toughest in her life. She couldn’t sleep. She had spent all her night crying, imagining and taking back memories that seemed to just be a lie. Her grandfather had lied to her. Her grandfather had negotiated with her like she was a kind of an object, he made her marry to that heartless man who never touched his heart to humiliate her. “Cameron, Cameron, please.” Ace said.“I don’t want to eat. I-I… Everything seemed to be a lie now. I don’t know where I’m stepping on. Suddenly, all my plans to go overseas are smashed just for a person who wears m own face like it was of her.”Ace could perfectly understand that the more time it went by, the harder it’d be to believe she had a twin sister that no one talked about in her past.“I want to see her,” Cameron whispered. I need to talk to her. I need to make sure she’s not lying.” Cameron stood up ou
Walking back and forth with a hand on her waist, Cameron couldn’t understand how that could happen. It seemed like destiny was trying to force her to face him after all what he did to her and what he said to her.“How come he can be that kind of man?” Cameron asked.“You don’t need to go to him if you don’t want.” Ace supported.“Oh! Really? What about my family? My grandfather is all I have in this world. Ahh! I don’t know what to do!” Expressed Cameron exasperated at the same she took a seat.Ace had no much to do for her. Just when Cameron had made the decision to finally see her sister after having digested the fact she had a twin sister, it’d been enough for Ace to go to the mall that morning and buy all the things they were going to need for their travel when a couple of men dressed in black told his presence was required. They’d escorted to one of the loneliest halls in that mall until he saw him. He knew what it was all about.Diego had been clear. If Cameron didn’t decide to
With her eyes still closed, Cameron heard Diego’s giggle. Slowly, she opened her eyes just to find Diego separating his lips from hers between a mocking laugh.For an instant, Cameron felt stupid.“What’s so funny?” Cameron asked.“No matter what, buy you won’t change. No matter what you’ll still be just a damn table dancer!”Those words hit Cameron hard.“What?”“Such a prostitute dreaming of kissing princes.”Diego was never going to change. Not even in her best dreams Diego’d be a different person.Denying with her head, clearly hurt, Cameron wiped away her tears with the back of her hand and walked off.“Run! Run, Cameron! Run into Ace’s arms or the best bidder!”Without knowing Diego had chosen his path. If no one in his past had made him regret his decisions, if no one in the past hadn’t had the guts to become his karma, Cameron would. Sonner or later, but she will. Walking by the sidewalk, the enormous buildings of the city imposing power, the dark sky and just
After some minutes Cameron knew the way her sister had lived for all those years. It hadn’t been easy for her. It was clear that Camilla had to work in many places to survive in a world like this. It wasn’t necessary for Camilla to describe ever single job she had until she ended up being a dancer in a cabaret, and that was where the doors of a new life opened. There she discovered a better way to get more money. In a way, she started to like that new life, where she felt she had control over men. It was enough for her to move her hips as they liked to get some bills.Cameron sighed countless times. She didn’t know what to say. Cameron knew her life had been difficult but at that moment, she felt such a stupid knowing the problems she’d gone through had been nothing in comparison of her sister’s.The real problem was when she asked about the baby; whose baby was it? Camilla was speechless.“Please, tell me, you can trust me, Camilla. You can tell me what happened. I want to do things
Just when Diego had made the decision to tell him the truth, it seemed like it was going to be easier than he thought it’d be.All he could see in Mr. Milan face was anger. He was really mad at his son-in-law for not telling him what that was all about.“Stop with your lies. I do know she hasn’t been with you for the last 30 days! Where the hell is she? Why did you want to breach the contract before?! I’m sick of this! I’m sick of her being my granddaughter! I should’ve kept her sister and not her!”Diego frowned. Had he heard him well? What sister? What he was talking about?“What did you say?” Diego asked.At that moment Mr. Milan saw confusion in Diego. He’d made a mistake.“Sister? What sister are you talking about, Mr. Milan?”Federico denied with a gesture. “No, it’s nothing. I was just… Forget it, Diego! Don’t even try to change the subject, okay? Tell me at this moment why Cameron hasn’t been around! I know you’re hiding something!”“I thought the one who was hiding something
With a hand on his waist, walking back and forth, listening to what Cameron was telling him between tears, he couldn’t believe destiny was too unfair to do that to him. He didn’t want to be stuck with a woman like her. Someone who had stepped on his pride, but there was something in his heart that didn’t allow him to throw her away.There were nights were he still remembered the first and last kiss, the night he went to look for her just to find her with Ace. She was so drunk that night that all what happened then must’ve been a consequence of such thing. Even thought, Diego didn’t have the heart to take advantage of that. Unlike Cameron, he indeed succumbed to her.After what Cameron had declared to him, he immediately asked her to wait for him in the meeting room since her grandfather was there and she didn’t want him to know about it. According to her, she didn’t want to provoke him any bad.“So, that’s all, Diego. I can’t tell my grandfather that I’m dying because I want to believ
