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
Dressing all in black, making nervous sounds with her nails against the table, Camilla was all impatient to see her sister get in, but in had been more than 10 minutes and the woman still didn’t appear. She needed to appear. She needed to help her. She needed to come up with something and help her sister, otherwise Camilla was going to take actions and Cameron wouldn’t like that. Camilla was decided to take everything at once and snatch from her sister the only one in her heart, and wasn’t talking about Diego.Suddenly, with her chest going up and down, Cameron got into the cheapest café where Camilla was waiting for her. And there she was, her twin sister at one of the furthest tables.“Camilla?” Cameron asked her not being sure if it was her sister since she hadn’t seen her dressed with black jeans and a cap.“Where the hell were you, damn stupid?! I’ve been waiting for you for over 20 minutes!” Camilla forced her to seat down across her.Cameron felt intimidated by her look, so she
So, it wasn’t a game? She wasn’t playing at all? It seemed like she was never going to trust him. What else did she need to understand how guilty Diego felt for what he did to her years ago? Now, the one who seemed to be playing with his feelings was her. One night she appeared in the hotel where he had asked her to be, Diego had confessed her his feelings and she allowed him to love every single part of her body and the next day, they were there like two strangers with nothing in common aside from the possibility of Diego getting out of there as long as he didn’t say anything against Camilla. Cameron had to be going crazy. There was no way Cameron could take her sister’s side after all the shit she had made her go through.Getting up from her seat, Cameron looked at him for the last time. “Good luck, Diego Ferrer. I really wish you well.” And walked off before the tears could run down and Diego noticed the truth behind those words.After all, they weren’t destined. Everything had sta
Bastian didn’t understand what the woman was saying, or maybe, he didn’t want to understand what was clearer than water raining in autumn.Camilla was evil. What made him think that she was going to help him get the hell out of here? Camilla had been clear enough when she said Bastian was no longer in her interests. She had put the eye on another man. Someone who was more interesting, more powerful or of course, more handsome. For Camilla, all those years, Bastian was her happy moment after having fought with Diego. He was her little break, her better than nothing, but eventually, even that little break he was for her ends up bothering more than the fights she could have with Diego. Bastian’s smile erased. “What are you trying to say?”“Maybe that you’ll stay here for some years if you still want to have power when you come out of here.”Bastian denied with his head. The gaze he was giving her talked the words that couldn’t be pronounced by his mouth. The woman had shocked him with
Running behind him for more than five streets, Edmund finally got Diego. The man was acting without thinking. All those things going on in his life were driving him wild. When Cameron had said she was going to become his karma, she wasn’t just talking.“Hold on… Diego… Hold on!” Edmund stopped him. His chest going up and down showed how much he’d run.“I can’t let this happen.”“You’re acting wild. You don’t know what’s wrong and what’s right now. You just see what you want to see. Diego, you’re not the hero of the story. Don’t pretend who you can’t be when you don’t even know what to do with your own problems.”“Thank you, Edmund.”It’s hard for people to realize the world isn’t what we want it to be with a single act. It’s even harder to realize we’re not the heroes of our stories.“The saying says if you want to help others, first help yourself. Cameron deserves to be happy after all the things she went through with you.”“Why does everyone think I’m her wrong?! Why does everyone t
When Bastian came back to his cell, he couldn’t help but feel like a relief in his heart after what he’d said to Cameron. Of course he would have liked she had understood what he tried to say, but there was a hunch in his heart that was telling him she just needed some time to think about it and see he was right. Cameron didn’t need to marry Ace when he was giving her the proof they needed to make Camilla get back to her place and Diego also have with he always loved by his side.In front of the cell where Bastian was, the other man who Camilla had talked with started studying him. The man needed to watch every single of his steps if he really wanted to get many things from the woman he’d just met.“Is that him?” One of his men asked him.The man looked firmly at Bastian. “Yes, he is. He’s identical to the photo the woman showed me.”“What do we do now?”“We need time. We need to watch his steps and watch out ours. No one can see us.”The other man beside him giggled. “It’s not like p
