Terrible news for AndyThe hours pass slowly, Camille has gotten up a couple of times from her chair, she wants to talk to Andy, but every time she says a word to him, he just ignores her, he couldn't believe that he still doubted his loyalty, However, even if he didn't want to, she would be there accompanying him until when necessary, the advantage she had of being his girlfriend helped him to be absent from the company for as long as he wanted.Camille goes to the cafeteria, and buys two coffees, one for her and one for Andy, she knew he needed it, and it would be a way to break the ice. When she returned, he seemed to have a chip that kept him stationary in the same position.“Look Andy, have this coffee- she passes him the glass, but he doesn't receive it.”“Well Andy, no more, please! Don't you realize the situation we are in for you to continue with that fucking attitude? Receive the fucking coffee” Andy takes the coffee and throws it into a garbage basket that was next to the c
Straight into the darkThe following days returned to the same situation, Zoé's complicated state of health did not change, for Andy the routine had now become going to visit his daughter the hours he was allowed to and in his spare time looking for doctors who they could help their daughter, her life was becoming a real hell, she had entered a state of inexplicable depression, she related everything to her childhood, he had every intention of taking care of Zoé, not abandoning her as her father did at the time , and be with her, but fate was taking care of playing a trick on her, one morning she again went to the clinic as usual, but this time would be different.He is approaching his daughter's room, when he notices that she is surrounded by a group of doctors and nurses, they are all desperate, Andy tries to enter, but a nurse prevents him, he feels like everything stops in his path.“No sir, you can't go on”.“Let me in. What is happening to my daughter?” Between two nurses they s
Andy was declining little by little after the loss of his daughter, the days were turning dark for him and there was nothing that made his life happy enough, not even Camille's company, he still hadn't returned to take over his company , and he was letting everything around him go to the store, no matter how much his mother and Camille tried to understand what was happening in him, his attitude got worse day after day.Meanwhile, for Raquel, the situation was complicated by Samuel, Andy's father was absolutely willing to give him the final blow to destroy him, he was making a call to put the new CEO in the company, he would not give Andy any more time to to take over, enough that everything he had had to put up with lately regarding the time of the company, to continue waiting for him to want to take over, so in the next few days Andy Alf would officially stop being CEO of ANDY ALF AND ASSOCIATES, this would cause his shares in the company to go down, and of course the great economic
Andy shows up very punctual at nine in the morning, without even having been invited to that board of directors, many were behind his position, since the profits that the person occupying it would take were quite striking, in addition to the recognition that he would gain as an entrepreneur, was something that made anyone greedy for it.On the board of directors there were several professionals, and CEO of other companies, there were five people, who were trying to compete for Andy's position, fortunately for him, none with the path he had, much less with the results he had. harvested, because thanks to his management, the company had the best capital in the country.“Andy, I didn't expect you to come” Samuel looks him up and down, notices that he has had some physical changes. “Why didn't you expect it, dad? Do you feel that I learned very little from you? I always fulfill my responsibilities.”“I thought you would not return to the company, now you will have to compete with these m
a bad attitudeAfter the meeting and the changes ordered by his father, Andy feels a little confused, since he left Camille's house, he has not spoken to her, but now he felt the need to tell her everything that was happening, his new His office was now located very close to hers, so he would try to keep things calm.He knocks twice on the door of Camille's office, but when he doesn't hear an answer, he decides to enter without her permission, she was in a virtual meeting, when he enters, Camille makes an annoyed gesture.“Didn't they teach you to knock on doors? We are in your company, but you can't interrupt me like this” Camille turns off the microphone so she can claim Andy. “Oh! I didn't think it would make you so angry to see me, how are you, Camille? I'm fine” Andy goes to her and wants to kiss her on the mouth, but she turns her face away “What's wrong Camille? Are you going to start your bad attitude again with me, if so tell me once please”.“Give me a moment please end th
NOW IS THE END OF EVERYTHINGBefore Andy's incredulous look, Camille gets into Mario's car, he is chasing them, he barely squeezes the knuckles of his hands and his pressure rises, he watches as they arrive at a beautiful private restaurant and perfect for a romantic dinner, Orlando parks a few yards behind them, Andy watches as Mario gets out of the car first and reaches Camille's side door and offers his hand to get her out of there.Camille is smiling, it shows that she likes Mario's formality and courtesy, Andy's eyes are now clouded with anger, and he feels his breathing quicken, they enter the site, and he doesn't hesitate for a second chase them, he sees how she smiles and hooks up with Mario, they go up to the second floor of the restaurant, Andy sneakily follows them there and realizes that Mario has a table for him with spectacular decoration, something very similar to when he formally asked her to be his girlfriend.“Mario, but what is all this? Camille surprised she puts h
Camille walks away for good.“Mario are you okay?”. Camille asks him as she hands him a napkin to wipe the blood that comes from his lip.“Yes Camille, I'm pretty good, don't worry, what I don't understand is what happened, why did Andy react like that?” Camille blushes with the question, she knew that what was happening was her fault, but she had omitted the detail of telling her that her boss was her ex-boyfriend.“What happens is that I went out with him for a few months, we had a relationship” she lowers her head.“Then Alf was not married for a long time?”“Yes, in fact, we did maintain a relationship even when he was married to Keyra Jones, but it is a rather long story”.“Is he the one you broke up with two months ago?”“Yes, it's with him.”“But apparently, he hasn't gotten over it at all, he was also drunk, what do you think of all this? You should be more careful with him Camille”.“The best thing is that I leave the company, I can't stand being in that situation with him an
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
an unexpected reunionLauren had fulfilled her mission, she arrived directly at Andy's office, who was waiting for her with crazy anxiety, that day was decisive for his company, if Brett had signed, he would free ALF from Parker's clutches, and he could get ahead with her company, when he sees her go through the door, his heart races, but she comes smiling and stunning, that face told him that the blonde had made it. “Shall I sign?” Andy asks with a smile on his face.“Yes, friend, he fell like some fruit from his tree, he fell round, now the very idiot does not even imagine what awaits him”.“Thank you very much, Lauren, without you I don't know what I would have done” he approaches and hugs her.“The same thing I would have done without you the day you helped us, I love you so much Andy, now I must return to my city, I must return to my husband and my children”.“Damn Lauren, are you married and have children?” Andy is surprised, because the idea that she was engaged never crossed
