Waiting for her sister to appear in that café where Cameron had asked to meet up, she placed her coffee down and looked around. A taxi pulled over by the entrance of the café. Cameron sighed. So, the moment Cameron had waited for was already marked by that action of her sister.High red heels, short and tight dress that marked her curves, the cleavage that distracted anyone and that mocking smile that was drawn on her face as soon as her eyes found her other part.“Cameron, Cameron, my dearest. Long time no see. Sister shouldn’t be apart for so long. Can I take a seat?”Cameron nodded. A lie it had been if she thought she, one day, could have the courage to face her. Cameron’s body shook. Such a naïve girl she was still being!Cameron couldn’t stop staring at her. That horrible smile that just a killer can have. Cameron was never going to forget. The worst part? She had no way to prove what her sister had done because there were moments where she also doubted Camilla doing such a thin

Stuffed in one of her favorite dresses and with one of the luxury bags she always liked to show off, Susan appeared at the Ferrer company. There were so many questions that had been bothering since the moment Cameron told her the real story –but not the whole one- about her past. There were things that seemed to match but there were others that didn’t. It just was so much trouble. And trouble needs to be fixed.When she arrived at the company, the secretaries that were still working there couldn’t believe she was back after so many years. This time she looked different, and not talking about her way to dress. No! There was something else. Maybe, the fire in her eyes ready to set everything on fire once she found out the truth.Immediately, she was notified to Diego Ferrer. It had been some years that couldn’t believe she was already there after so long. He juts hoped the past was behind and they could start over as the friends they should have always been.When Susan opened the door o

In this world, what could be worse than the secrets and lies that deny to come to light even when a small group of people already knew about them? Just exactly the small group of people who can set on fire the world once the secrets and lies out, but preferred to just stay quiet and watch their own world burning.Renata had been all day worried about the things she wanted to do to expose Cameron as Camilla, forcing her to take her real identity but on the other hand, it was still time where Renata wasn’t able to understand what was happening and why her son dared to do something like that. Of course it hurt her to know that her son didn’t consider her as the best mother in the world. He preferred to act on his own, without thinking about the consequences. At the end, he was alone. Her mother was always worried about the last trends, her friends of society and her young lovers.Finally, the door of the house opened. Renata came back to her reality. Surely, Camilla had arrived to take t

With his hands together relying on the desk, and across him it was Edmund, Ace had his head down. He didn’t want to say anything else, and Edmund seemed to pressure him to say what he wanted to hear.“Look! All I want is to understand the whole story.”“Why? Why now? Eliza died years ago. It was an accident. Those robbers didn’t measure the consequences of their acts and happened to kill her.”“It was an accident? How do you know that?”Ace sighed. It was obvious that Edmund was putting him under so much pressure for him to say what Edmund and, surely, Diego, wanted to hear in order to find someone who could pay for the death of that woman once Diego realized that for the second time the woman he loved was never going to be his.“You know what? I don’t want to continue with this shit. You want to say things that I don’t know. You want to find a guilty one because of Diego’s remorse. The man can’t overcome the fact the love of his life is no longer with us. Years had gone by since Eliz

In the house of Cameron and Ace, Susan kept looking for the combination to open the safe. It had been hours and Cameron nor Ace had arrived. Maybe, they were just having fun in the night of his proposal. Thousands of little papers with numbers written were covering the floor. Susan had noted the different combinations she’d been tried until that moment. When a special date came to her mind together with the memory. “The password is 12042004.” Ace informed Susan once she asked him the password to log in his work email. “What with that password? I thought you met Cameron last year.” “How do you know it’s a date?” “Well… maybe because I know you pretty well that I’m able to describe you as the kinda person who just uses dates when it comes to fix a password. Tell me, what about this one?” Ace sighed while his look got lost into nothingness. “Maybe, it’s one of the most important dates I’ll ever going to remember. Someone special came to my life, but couldn’t stay. It was the best

Knowing her son wasn’t the kinda man who drowned his problems in alcohol like Diego was doing exactly at that moment, Renata stayed with her. She cried over him while putting his head on her lap. She hadn’t been the best mother on earth, but wanted to make her son up. Was it so bad? She also deserved a second chance, right?“My son,” Renata claimed, passing her fingers through his hair. Diego was still sleeping. “There are so much I’d like to tell you right now. There’s so much you need to listen. Maybe, just the words you always wanted to hear from me. I know I haven’t been the mother you’d like to see in me. I know that all I’ve done is being a pain in the ass. I know I haven’t been the mother you needed since the first moment you were born. I… I… I just don’t know how to excuse myself for all what I’ve done.” Tears fell down on Diego’s face. “I’ve never seen you drunk, as drunk as this. You may feel that pain you’re feeling is going beyond you, but, my love, I’m here, I’ve always b

“Why didn’t you tell me anything?” Susan wanted to know. “Why, Ace? I always trusted you.”Hearing through the call the need she had to see him, Ace accepted that meetup at the café where they used to go before. Then, he was going to prepare everything before his flight with the woman if his life and the little son that even if he wasn’t biologically theirs, Ace and Cameron learned to love him as he was.Ace smiled mockingly. He really didn’t care about what Susan could be thinking of him, or even feeling. But, what he didn’t know was that Susan could act on him whenever she wanted, and maybe at that moment Susan was giving him his last chance to do things right.“What? What is so funny for you? Tell me because I don’t understand!”“Susan, if we can’t talk like two civilized people do, I think we leave this as it is.” Ace tried to get up, but Susan was faster to take his hands and make him seat down.“Hold on! You won’t go to anywhere until you answer me what I’m asking you.”“Look, S

Going back and forth playing with her hands in a nervous manner, Renata couldn’t think straight. She just waited for the phone of the house to ring to know that everything had gone as she had planned. If they failed this one she could be sure that Camilla would know Renata knew about her real identity. If Renata really wanted to take Camilla out of the way and show to people who she really was, everything had to go as she planned. Regrettable, Diego wasn’t there with her. She feared her son could be in trouble now. But, what was that Camilla had done for being like that?Well, after Renata over heard the conversation Camilla had with her lover, she let her son about the plan she had. Camilla and her lover were going to send the merchandise in the name of the company. So, if the police were able to act on them that night, everything was going to take its place. Cameron and Diego could be together. Now, what Renata wanted the most was the happiness of her son and his wellness. Sonner or
