UNDER THAT CONTRACT CHAPTER 15
Seeing the crowd walking over the wide streets, Diego kept his eyes busy watching the young smiles on the people’s faces, the energy boosting their bodies to move around the entire city. There were men hang in hang with their women. There were kinds accompanying their parents. And the most important, the love being seen through their actions between each other. Would he be able to feel love in his heart someday? Would he be able to walk like those men with their women of the happy faces? He didn´t know why but in those two months that had gone by the distance between him and Cameron had started to short. Or at least, that was what he wanted to think. Cameron had to be pregnant. He needed to think so in order to not overthink about his future.Slowly, Diego closed his eyes.“Tell me where’s that baby of yours? The time is running out, and I’m afraid we have to announce that heir in two weeks.”Diego looked down. “She’s pregnant, right, Diego?” The old man insisted. Diego’s body jum

Driving around the streets, just the lights poles illuminating the city and silence making more noises than his thoughts, Diego tried to think straight. Where they could be? Diego had already visited around four or five restaurants and there was no signal of them.Hitting the steering wheel, a couple of restaurants came to his mind. Ace loved those restaurants and he had gone there a thousands of times with other thousands of girls. Ace had to be there with Cameron. And Cameron wasn’t like any other woman he’d ever met.Arriving to the second restaurant Diego realized this one had more people than any other he had gone to that night. Looking for them, he walked through the fancy tables.“I feel sleepy,” Cameron said, yawning for the fourth time after having drunk barely three glasses of wine.Ace giggled, caressing her smooth skin. “You don’t know how to drink, do you?”Almost closing her eyes, Cameron had the strength to look up and meet Ace’s gaze.“Let’s go, Cameron, I’ll take you

Opening the door of his office after arriving a little late, letting everyone know that something had to be happening since Diego wasn’t the kind of man who liked to take advantage when he was the CEO of the company, a smile was drawn on his face when he saw the image of his friend sitting on the chair in front of his desk with a cup of coffee in his hands.“Edmund!” Diego greeted him.The man whose name was Edmund stood up.“God heard my prayers. I thought you’d not come.” Edmund hugged his friend, giving a couple of palms on the back.“Please, take a seat, Edmund. How can I help you now?”“Hey, man! Do you think I’m here for something? Come on! I’m no longer that kind of man.”Diego laughed. “If you say so.”“Anyways, I just come to say goodbye, Diego.”Diego looked at him in surprise. “What? Where? I mean, why? Where are you going?”Edmund smiled. “My labor is finished here. You know, new competences every day that I feel like I’m no longer needed.”Those words sounded like the con

Having the marvelous body of his woman on his lap–as he called her every time they were alone -, Ace couldn’t stop thinking about that morning. He looked so aloof that couldn’t go unnoticed by Susan.Whimsically, Susan got up from Ace’s lap. It was easy to anyone to notice Ace was out of his world like if something was bothering, like if he’d realized something that wasn’t really okay with him.“Ace!” She called him out.“What? What do you want now, Susan?”Susan crossed her arms over her chest. “What’s going on with you? You suddenly called me and asked me to come to your apartment. I though I was coming to have a good moment, but I see I’m wrong.”“Please, Susan, I don’t have the time to discuss this with you,” said Ace getting up from his leathered chair and going for a drink.“I can’t believe this! You’re such an idiot, but it’s my fault when I really can be having a good time with a worthy man-” She continued saying while Ace kept busy in his drink.Those words resounded in his h

Third drink of the night and the last memories of Cameron kept repeating in his mind. He was such an idiot. How come he let her go with that womanizer who just wanted one thing? He should’ve said something, done something, but not. He just preferred see how his wife was taken from him and do nothing. Finally, the await came to an end when on his back he felt a couple of slaps. Diego turned around and put himself on a smile. “Oh! Thomas, I thought you’d not come.” “How come I was going to let my friend have all the drinks for himself?”, Thomas smiled, sitting beside him, “please, another round over here,” he asked to the barman. “And, to what I owe this call, ah? I thought you were so busy that-” “The truth is I didn’t want to see you.” Diego cut him off. “Oh! Should I say ‘thanks for the honesty’?” Diego smiled. “You wanted to hear the truth and I’m telling you the truth. I didn’t want to see you because every time I called you or even you face passed my mind, I remembered what I

“How do you feel?” Ace asked Cameron, giving her a cup of tea.She smiled at him. “I’m okay.”“Well, the least I want to do is be hard on you. Cameron, you can take the bed. I’ll sleep in the couch.”“No, it’s no necessary.”“Oh! You want to sleep with me?” Ace said with a playful tone in his voice.Cameron just looked at him. She didn’t want to follow his game. She had so much in her mind that the least she wanted to deal with was some famous Ace’s game. She knew the best Ace loved adding names to his long list of conquers.“By the way,” Ace called her attention again.The truth was she didn’t know how to start that conversation he wanted to start since the moment she came out of her doctor’s office and got into his car, telling him she just needed to go to the cemetery and light her heart.“I need to sleep.” Cameron cut him off.Ace smiled, realizing she didn’t want to talk about anything.“Y-yes, o-of course. Of course, Cameron. I’ll let you sleep. Please, take the bed and make you

Walking through the lonely streets of the city, Cameron couldn’t stop crying with some of her belongings between her hands. All she had in mind was the idea he treated her, the way he kicked her out of his house and the last words he said.‘A prostitute.’ He had called her a prostitute just because she slept in the apartment of another person who offered her the protection she needed that night?No one could know how much long she had been walking by. Not even her.Her empty stomach demanding something to have to digest, her headache making the front cloudy. She’d walked for so long that Cameron was out of the busy city of the business men where whoever she’d asked to if they know Diego, they’d answer with a smile on their faces while nodding.Now, just poor streets with people who walked back and forth, some of them with their children, other ones taking care of their little business and some more working on anything that could pay for the meals of that day.For an instant, she didn’

THREE DAYS LATER “To tell the truth, I still can’t believe you’re married to Diego Ferrer. I’ve heard of him just in TV. Who would have said it, Cameron? He’s the most gentleman in front of all people but a pathetic man closed door.” Said the woman of the apron chopping some carrots.Cameron smiled without meaning to.“You know what they said; you don’t know people until you live with them. I’m not gonna deny that all I felt for him is this hate that can’t take out on him.” Cameron continued her story while washing some vegetables sitting at the table.The truth was the little space where Haley had been living for the last six years after her father had decided to put a gun under his mouth and end his life like a coward just for not being brave enough and learn to believe with limitations, lacked of everything. If they needed water, she and all the neighborhoods had to carry it from the lake 200 meters away.That was the reason Cameron was washing the vegetables in a bowl to rescue t

UNDER THAT CONTRACT EPILOGUE
With her look clouded, Cameron and Renata were accompanied by each other, feeling the same pain. By that moment Renata knew the boy was her sister’s son, but it was Cameron the one who loved him as his own mother. The same went for Tita. They didn’t care if Tita was adopted or not, Tita was their baby. And very soon, Cameron’s baby as well.Around ten cars, counting patrols where Ace and Diego were travelling, they arrived to one of the loneliest forests. Ace had indicated them to drive there. He knew Camilla was going to take the kids there, since he’d talked to her some minutes ago like he agreed on the plan. The truth was police was with them. Ace was going to confess everything.When they found Camilla, she was with the two kids crying and screaming at the edge of a cliff. Tita and Gadriel were tied up. Police were there.“Please, Camilla, give me the kids. You can’t do this to them. You were the mother of two. Please, we can start over. Give me the kids!” Cameron begged on her kn

With tears in her eyes, Cameron begged for Susan to have mercy on her. It was pointless to still saying that she had nothing to do with that when it was clear that it was her handwriting that had been printed on those little pieces of paper.The following day after the wedding that didn’t take place in reality, all Cameron did was look for Susan until the next day she found her. And now they were, Cameron running behind her over the hallways, trying to talk her in the declaration against Ace if he was guilty of course. If police didn’t find anything against Ace, Diego was going to carry the heaviness of another five years for faking information. Cameron wanted to save him. Cameron wanted to be justice, the justice that didn’t reach Eliza earlier.“If you know something, you should say it!” Cameron said.Susan turned around. There was way she could declare against Ace. Ace had been a real friend to her, if Susa did that it was going to be like betraying who did his best for her; like a

“Ace was fated to be with Eliza, but I was the one who came into their way. Ace and Eliza were the real protagonists of this story.” Diego started saying. “I fell for her just by silly conversations one day that Ace asked me to take care of his chat since he’d already had a fight with his soon to be wife, at least that was how he wanted it to happen. It was my mistake. I made her fall for me and when we met, I already knew she was going to come to me since I’d told her Ace was the real intruder, the friend of mine who was doing that favor of talking to her while I couldn’t. I changed the roles, Cameron. I married Eliza and wanted to make up to him, so I decided it’d be a good idea if he became one of the major shareholders until he could make his company one of the biggest not far from mine. Cameron, I wanted your family to take responsibility for that and your grandfather never knew that.”The more Diego said, the harder he was hitting in her heart. Tears came down. Cameron denied co

“I don’t know. This just makes me think that he was killed because he had some information he could use against the criminals and that’s why they did this. They wanted him to shut up. His judgmental was going to be today.” Explained the man, colleague of Edmund in that field. “Who could have done this?” Edmund continued. “It could have been anyone. You know that the man was in some dirty business, right?” “Yes, I knew it , but I don’t think they could have done something like this.” “You know how that people could be. Even if you owe him a single buck that can be paid with your life.” Edmund sat down across his friend. “Something here isn’t okay.” “Of course; delinquency.” “No, I’m not saying so. What I’m saying is that we should find out who was the killer here.” “Come on, Edmund! That’s not easy! They’re all criminals. We can’t just simply…” “What are you trying to say? Just because they’re already criminals you’re going to let this be? Come on! I thought a little more capab

Radiant lights in a sky that only seemed to be made for her in that important day where Cameron was decided to let everything go, basically the Ferrer family. The sun rays could not shine any brighter for her as it was the happiest day of her life. Finally, after so much, having traveled that path of roses and thorns, dawn was breaking. Strong and clear rays of light. At least, that was Cameron wanted to think. She had to know this time she was marrying because she wanted to, not because someone was forcing her to do it. In a moment like that Cameron needed of her family, but sooner she realized her family was reduced to Camilla. This time her grandfather wasn’t going to take her to the altar where the only one should be waiting for her. They were going to be a happy family, that was all she wanted to think.“You look beautiful, Miss Cameron! “said one of the women who served her for that day.The white dress together with the veil fell like a beautiful white wave over her. The day of

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

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

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

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
