Let the game begin.Camille, after one of Andy's typical put-downs to her, was completely determined to accept the job offer she had been made at the Parker company, even though he had despised her, she felt she owed me loyalty. And she wasn't going to let Mario get away with it, even though she knew Andy didn't deserve such a sacrifice. He was treating her like she was the worst person.Mario goes out to meet her, she's ready, there wasn't even a formal job interview, a single call from Parker was enough, for her to be automatically hired.She was beautiful, she puts on a beautiful pearl-colored suit, with a white top underneath, her hair is perfectly arranged, and everything is complemented with soft makeup, dark high heels, and a bag in the same color as these.She gets into Mario's car who is waiting for her, he doesn't take his eyes off her.“You are precious doll, you will be the most beautiful boss of Parker” he stretches out and gives her a kiss on the cheek, a kiss that was q
But why revenge?That Mario had appeared in Andy Alf's life, when he was going through the worst moments of his life, was not a coincidence, or a simple call for a CEO position, that had only been an incentive for him to have the opportunity to enter the company.A few years ago Armando Benedetti was Samuel Alf's best friend, both were fighting for their companies to be the most recognized in the market, the ALF company was having less success than Armando's company, since at that time Samuel's wife passed away, and his businesses began to collapse, Armando, seeing his situation, helped him, putting his business as a guarantee, and betting all his capital on his best friend, who promised him that all the money would be returned to him multiplied by far, for Armando this It wasn't important, well, their friendship for so many years was more important than any sum, plus Samuel had lost his wife, and that was priceless.A couple of years later, when ALF was reborn again, Samuel decides t
Andy is losing everything, and he is not realizing itThe great day of the final meeting arrived to be able to elect the new and official CEO of the company ALF Y ASOCIADOS, the day long awaited by Andy and Mario, since it would be in that meeting in which the shareholders of the company agreed with the results that they had had for the last six months would give a report.That morning, as usual, Andy had dressed up very well, he had resumed his routines little by little and his countenance was fully recovered, the company that Greta had given him had also been essential for his recovery, so he was impressive as always, At that moment he was sure that despite the absences and the problems he had had, his performance should not have been affected, so with the security that characterized him, Andy enters the meeting with his head held high.Some members of the board were still missing, and his father, Mario for his part, was already sitting on the other side of the meeting table, also v
A GRIM PICTUREReturning from the meeting break...“Well, I think that a decision has already been made, so gentlemen, we are going to vote on who will be the new CEO of the company” Despite the fact that Samuel already knew that the decision was going to be to elect Mario, he had to follow the protocols, to that in the minutes of the meeting everything will be specified correctly.One of the largest shareholders interrupts.“Samuel, well, I have spoken with the majority of the shareholders during the recess, and we see that it is not even necessary to vote or for your son to give us an explanation of what is happening in his area, we have simply decided that the new CEO, it must be Mario, although he has been in the company for a few months, he was able to show us that he can keep our profitability stable and not only that, he generated more royalties for us, so the only thing missing is your vote and of course Andy's, but you don't mean much weight in decision-making now” He sits do
pride and prejudiceFirst thing Monday morning, Camille is back at Parker, for the weekend she had dedicated herself to her sister, she really didn't want to know about the company, much less about the intentions of her recent suitors.But there was something that made her look for Brett, there was something in the work area where she was and the only one who could clarify her doubt about a report, it was precisely him. So, he approaches his office, where the half-closed door is, he realizes that Brett is not alone, this morning he was accompanied by his friend Mario, without wanting to do it, but with the curiosity that caused him to hear what they were talking about, he just stands listening at the door.“I congratulate you my dear friend! That you have remained with the presidency of ALF was the greatest achievement that you could have obtained, now yes, we must absorb that company, but you know you must be very secretive” Brett passes a glass to Mario and congratulates him on his
A wounded heart does not think of the consequences.There were already countless times that Camille had cried because of Andy, no matter how much she insisted on her feelings, it was time for her to start facing up to the fact that her relationship with him had definitely ended, she questioned herself at every moment, that if he left she had given a new chance in love, it was already that she did too, but she did not want to fall before the charms of Brett Parker, although in the midst of her broken heart, there was also some anger, because she felt that Andy was only trying to hurt her because of the encounters between them in the past, and that he could not accept.The next day at the office, as if Brett knew of her recent disappointment, he arrives with a conquering air, decides to wait for her in the office and on the way buys her a beautiful bouquet of flowers, sits down at her workstation, and although she is a very unconventional way of conquering, from his experiences, he felt
Jealousy, damn jealousyAlthough the glances between Andy and Camille's table came and went, their companions were the ones who were enjoying the moment the most, as Gretta took the opportunity to show her affection and desire for Andy, and he clearly reciprocated it to make Camille jealous.She could inevitably become aware of the passionate kisses between the two of them, and although Brett had already told her that they could leave the place if she wished, she refused to give them the pleasure she wanted, besides, she wanted to know the scope of Andy, just to see her suffer.“Andy! I'm dying to end tonight in your arms, I'm eager to be with you, we should go right now” Gretta pounces on him and begins to dance sensually in front of his face, he would like to look at her with the desire that such an attractive woman deserves, but although his Eyes are on those hips, her mind is on Camille's table.“Yes baby, of course I want to be with you too, but you know that we haven't gone out
Not all nights are dreamy.After Camille sees Andy leave the bar, she goes directly to Brett who was delighted with the atmosphere of the place and of course with the signs of affection that Camille had accidentally given him, he was convinced that that night she would totally fall at his feet. She approaches the table, tries to give him a warm smile, but at that moment inside her there was only anger and jealousy for the couple that had just left.“Hello, you almost didn't come back from the toilet, are you okay?” Brett hands her a glass of alcohol as she sits down.“They were only a little full, what a shame to make you wait, I think it's time to go” Camille leaves the glass that he had offered her on the table and puts on her coat.“No, wait no, take this last drink that I already ordered first and let's go, let's see, don't despise me” she makes a gesture of resignation, but not even alcohol calmed her sorrows.“Honestly, I don't want any more alcohol, what a shame for having mad
EPILOGUE“Andy, the investigator Víctor is here, he tells me that there is good news for you, what should I tell him?” Gisella runs to Andy's office, she was in a hurry, it seemed that something was about to happen. “What's up Gisella? She breathes or something will happen to you” Andy smiles at her, she had become her right hand and the vice president of ALF, had shown that not all Parkers were born with the evil chip.“It is that he told me that he had good news, it is something that has to do with Mario.”“Make him continue” Now Andy was the nervous one, dying to know what had happened to the man who had helped to ruin him.“Good afternoon, my dear friend, how are you?”“Víctor, well thank you, how is mom? Since he went to live with you, very little answers me, eh, you stole it from me” Andy appreciated Víctor, he had married his mother after she had divorced Samuel, Víctor had been the great love of his life.“Well, with the pregnancy, she prefers to be away from cell phones, sh
And yes, time to time“I'm glad you accepted the invitation, I'm always glad to see you, you know?” Andy serves Camille a glass of champagne.“I think you've always seen me, since what happened, we've seen each other almost daily- Camille takes a sip of the glass”.“I know, but this time is different, you don't know the deep desire that I had to share with you, I don't know when it could be the last time that happens, what has happened lately has shown me that the few moments that we share with the people we love matter more than anything in this world, you should never waste even the last second, that's why I'm actually glad to see you”.Camille smiles at him, she also loved every moment that she was by his side, the flame of love was still alive and had always been present.“Andy, do you love me? Do you love me despite everything we've had to live through? of my multiple rejections? Of all the times I've denied because you're by my side?”“That is exactly why I love you, there is n
Little by little time must heal the wounds.The days went by slowly, Camille had to start with psychological help, the pain of the loss of her daughter was affecting her too much, and to that added all the trauma that the relationship with Brett had caused her, they were consuming her little by little, Despite the fact that Andy was always with her, there were days when she didn't want to talk to him, just like there were others who didn't want her to leave her apartment, every day she felt different, some days sad and other days even sadder, He couldn't find a bit of happiness in the midst of everything that had happened to him, but Andy didn't give up.At ALF, things were going great, when it was discovered that Parker had illicit businesses, ALF kept all the possible contacts and the request for his services was so great that little by little he expanded again, but this time Andy he oversaw everything, he was not associated with anyone. And although he was a little guilty for the w
an irreparable painThe day after the accident Camille wakes up sore from the blows suffered the day before, even she didn't even know how her little sister was, much less that Brett was dead, her belly hurt, she had a hard time straightening up, and she was still feeling the effects. from the anesthesia, her head was not quite right, the nurse who was taking care of her approaches trying to calm her down.“Calm down, Mrs. Camille, do you remember what happened?” she tells him as she lifts her pillow so Camille can straighten up a bit.“Yes, of course, if I remember everything, where is Carolain, how is she?” Camille despairs for her sister“She is fine, she has some fractures in her extremities, but she is out of danger, in the afternoon we will bring her so that she can talk to her.”“And Brett, that scoundrel?”“Ma'am, if it's the man who was driving, he passed away” Camille, as usual, puts her hands on her belly, the only thing that encouraged her at that moment was feeling her d
You can't get away with it.“Let go of Camille, Brett, don't make things worse” Andy tries to persuade Brett, who has become very nervous due to the sound of sirens that were on the way.Brett's hands are shaking, he starts to squeeze his eyes, his conscience is failing him, he is completely irrational, without thinking twice he fires a shot, Andy falls to the ground, Camille bends down and Brett grabs her hair making her get into the car that he was ready for his escape.“Andy NO!” Camille raises her hands to her head, immediately a very deep pain invades her heart.“Get on now, damn, all this is happening because of you” Camille simply climbs out of inertia, while her tears run down her face, Orlando manages to react and approaches Brett and they begin to shoot each other almost, head-on, but the latter manages to get into the car and flees.Orlando makes it a priority to care for Andy, rather than go after Brett.“Sir, are you okay? That wretch hurt him, help me! help me!” Orlando
For his love I would give everythingWhile Andy was on his way, he was desperate to get to Brett's mansion, unfortunately it was on the other side of town, and it was taking longer than usual.”I don't want to go with you, I already told you and here we are going to stay” Camille hugged her little sister more tightly, Carolain was nervous and crying.Brett gets out of front of them and goes to the room, when he comes back, he has a gun in his hand."Are you sure you don't want to go with me?" he points the gun at them.Camille felt a chill inside her, the worst ideas automatically went through her heads, she knew what Brett was capable of, since he had already threatened to kill her and her baby once, her life was not important to her, but that of her friends. girls yes"You're not going to kill your own daughter, are you?" she looks at him defiantly“If you don't want to go with me, I swear I don't care about killing anyone, because if you're not by my side, you won't be by anyone e
meanwhile the empire fallsBrett, consumed by anger and despair, reaches out to his company, he knew that now I could not take him to jail, he had already spoken with his lawyer, they first needed a prior investigation to be able to conclude a possible crime, however, he knew that he was. committing, but he wanted to avoid the biggest losses, and of course not go to jail.When he arrives, everyone stares at him, no one clearly understood what was happening, his face is pale, when he goes to his office, he notices how there are two policemen at the entire entrance blocking his path.“I need to go in, it's my office you have no right to be there” Brett faces the policemen.“Sir, we are in a routine inspection, we have an order to be able to access the files that are there, please, do not hinder the procedure”.“I'm not hindering anything, I demand that you let me in immediately, it's my building, it's my office, don't you understand?” The policemen look at each other and smile, I couldn
Everything falls under its own weight.Brett goes to his company, he knew that he was smeared with corruption, a large part of the income that entered his company came from illegal businesses, which he disguised as real businesses, much of that information was deposited in his office and in the system of the company.He couldn't believe that someone had denounced him, he had always overseen keeping that information very confidential and only he was the one who had access.During the way to the office, he began to remember something about the reports that Andy had sent him with Lauren, but he realizes that he had not read any, Brett feels how anger invades him immediately, and he remembers that in the same way Mario did Andy losing the ALF presidency.Brett stops his car for a moment and turns on his laptop, begins to review the movements of the royalties of the businesses, he always had that information, but he was confident that everything was going as he believed, in the management
