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
As time went by, Cameron started overcoming her problems, she started leaving the past behind and focused on her real present where Ace offered everything she needed to trust better things were coming. Of course it hadn’t been easy for her to raise that child she prayed for every single night. The more time she spent with him, the more connected she felt to him. He was such a kind baby. She was sure if she would’ve been able to have babies on her own, they would’ve been exactly like the woman who began to walk and pronounce certain words.Ace had seen her struggle every night. There were moments where nothing was easy and perfect despite the love she felt for him even when he wasn’t her son. The little Gadriel had come down with a flu a couple of times and there she had discovered the little Gadriel was kinda delicate when it came to being sick.Slowly, Ace started seeing deeper in her. It wasn’t the beautiful face she faced the world with, it wasn’t the need Ace had to make Diego pay
Taking her hand between his, Diego listened to what Camilla wanted to say. Of course he didn’t know she was the one lying. He just preferred to believe that side of Cameron before believing the one who arrived at his home, claiming five minutes of his time to open herself up to him.“I didn’t know I had a sister. I swear I didn’t know it. It just happened that I found her one day at one of the most famous cafeterias in the city. She was with a man. She was so different. We are so different. The first time I saw her, it was hard. I didn’t know how to act. I thought everyone had lied to me. I even blamed her because that was when I understood everything. You thought you had seen me dancing when the truth was you saw my sister. I felt I had lost everything because of her. By that moment, I had met Bastian again. As he told you, nothing was the same after our marriage. Something had changed in my heart. Diego, you believe, right?” Camilla looked into Diego’s eyes.Being the perfect undisc
THREE YEARS LATER Picking up the call as soon as Diego got into the bathroom, Camilla said;“Bastian! What are you insisting on the same? I told you I couldn’t talk to you know!”“You haven’t picked up my calls, dear Cam. What am I going to do, uh? The merchandise is ready to be exported. What am I going to do, ah?”“Shhh! I don’t need to keep you remind me what I have to do!”“It’s getting late, Cam. It’s getting late. And if you don’t-”“Don’t ever dare to threaten me again like the last time. Let me remind you that you wouldn’t as powerful as you are if it hadn’t been for me.”The laugh of Bastian was heard from the other line. “Oh! Really? Now you’re telling me that you’re the one I should respect because if it hadn’t been for you I wouldn’t be in this place. Well, I think you’re forgetting the part where I found you instead of Cameron and that allow you to do what exactly you’re doing to Diego Ferrer.”“Fuck you!”“Hey, hey, madam Cameron wouldn’t say things like that.”“Leave m
CANADA Arriving at one of the most famous malls in the city, a car stopped in front of the sliding crystal door. From the car a woman in her 30’s got off, and in her hand the little hand of a five-year-old.The brown hair up, the black suit with the black heels. In her right arm the red bag that matched the sunglasses. Even her smooth makeup gave her that touch of mysteriousness she needed to confront to all people who had taken advantage from her. But of course, that day wasn’t going to be the one where she was going to appear in front of her husband and her dear sister, the one who also played her fool. Now, time had changed her. Now, she wasn’t the same fool. Now, three years had gone by and they hadn’t gone away in vain.“Mom, why are we here?” Gadriel asked as soon as his little green eyes danced around.Needless to say Gadriel felt bored by the idea of walking in that mall. Surely, there wasn’t going to be any fun around.Without Gadriel noticing his mother, Cameron just caress
