UNDER THAT CONTRACT CHAPTER 42
In the kitchen where Ace and the little boy were busy preparing the pasta that the baby had promised to his mother to be on the table as soon as she was back, Ace and Gadriel enjoyed their time together. Between laughs and smiles, Ace felt indeed the father of that baby boy. That was exactly what he wanted for his wife. A lovely family. A woman who could love him and his son.It seemed like Ace could finally forgive Diego for what he had done in the past. Now, Diego could continue with his life and Ace dedicate all of his time to the little family Cameron and him had constructed over those three years.“Daddy?” The little boy called his attention.“Mmmm?” Ace replied while frying the meat that was going to accompany the pasta.“Why don’t we have photos of you and my mommy dressed with a long white dress? All the houses where I have gone to have these photos. Is it normal that you and mommy hadn’t dressed like that?”Ace felt kinda uncomfortable. Of course he wanted to take the next st

Walking up the stairs, Diego massaged the right corner of his lip, he was bleeding, his nose, lips and his right cheek was bleeding. It was still hard to think about what he had discovered. There was no way he could put up with that. Regret and remorse. That was all his heart felt.When Diego was on the second floor of that big house, walking through the hallway, he ran into someone. Among all the people who could have seen that day, it had to be her.Her eyes widened. Camilla, stuffed in a white towel, gasped at seeing Diego’s face bleeding.Diego didn’t feel anything good for her. Seeing her like that, with her eyes showing the concern she never felt for him or for their daughter made him want to take that woman right there and put her on her kneels while confessing all the things she had done to be there and take away what was Cameron’s life.He just simply hated her because she wasn’t Cameron. She was the real Camilla. But the stupid one had been him for not figuring it out earlie

When Diego came out of the house where he’d seen Cameron for the first time in almost four years as the real Cameron, he couldn’t help but turn around and smile.“Let’s play a little game, Cam. Everything would come to its place.” Then, Diego got into his car.In the house where Diego had left Cameron, she couldn’t help but cry. More than three years had gone by and Diego hadn’t ever realized the one who was by his side was not Cameron. She was a damn usurper who had taken her away her whole life. Now, she had an answer to that question that Ace had asked her some days ago. She was still in love with Diego. She was still in love with the man she thought who had seen her different. In a different way. Someone who didn’t want to take advantage of her. Some who just loved her for who she was, or at least, that was what she thought. Maybe, that was her destiny. Be the kind of woman who was always powerless, who still put her heart on line, who was still a naïve in this world full of madne

“Thank you. Have a good day!” Cameron said with a smile on her face, turning around after having received her coffee.She read the time on her wristwatch. Then, looked around. There was no signal of the man who was supposed to make that trip with her. She just expected Diego to come on time.Denying with her head and sipping her coffee, she continued her way to the furthest table in order to enjoy her coffee and the book she had brought to that trip, when all of a sudden, someone passed by her side, hitting her shoulder and making some of the coffee pour on her dress.“Oh, my goddess!” Cameron expressed kinda angry.“I’m really, sorry, ma’am. I was just… please, let me buy you a coffee.”“Please, be careful when you walk.”“I know, I know. Please, let me buy you a coffee. I wasn’t paying attention. Please, ma’am. Follow me to my table and let me make you to you. I know it was my mistake!” The man of sunglasses and the brown scarf kept saying.For some reason Cameron thought she knew h

Around one hour had went by since the little girl had gotten into the hospital. Mr. Ferrer and Mr. Milan were out waiting for answers when Diego’s mother arrived. It was still moment that Cameron hadn’t dared to pick up the calls from her grandfather and his grandfather-in-law.“What happened with my little Tita?” Diego’s mom asked.Both men stood up. “It’s really good to have you here, Renata.” Mr. Ferrer said.“Oh, please, don’t start again. Mr. Ferrer. What happened with my little baby? Where’s she? Where’s Cameron? I knew she wasn’t going to be a good mother to my girl! Where’s she? I need to talk to her?” Renata continued.“Cameron isn’t here yet.”“What? What did you say, Mr. Ferrer? No! You have to be kidding me! I knew she was going to be this kinda woman! I told my son not to marry someone like her!”“It’s enough, Mrs. Ferrer!” Mr. Milan cut her off.Renata smiled sarcastically. “What? Don’t you feel good hearing what kinda woman your granddaughter is? My son doesn’t deserve

Two days had gone by since the first encounter between Diego and Cameron as the real Cameron, the person he always loved and, of course, learned to love slowly. He’d made so many mistakes that all he wanted now was to compensate to her all the pain she must have gone thought those years.When they arrived at the place where the business meeting took place, everything seemed to work pretty well. The shareholders were satisficed with the new plan. Cameron and Diego were getting to know each other for they were, the people who had been reborn inside of them.It was supposed to be a short trip, but Diego knowing Cameron the woman he loved, wanted to spend some more time with her. He wanted her to fall in love with the little things he could offer to her. They talked about the family that had built, even when Cameron was still unable to say Gadriel wasn’t her son but her sister’s. Diego didn’t need so much time to tell her Tita wasn’t his real daughter. Camilla and he had adopted her and,

Walking with elegance without even blinking, but mocking the man on the ground, who was holding his left arm with his right hand again, and the breath unstable, Camilla followed him. Mr. Milan did everything he could to drag himself over the floor and get away from his granddaughter.“Let… let me… go… Let… me go…! You… you should’ve died!” The man said again and again.There was nothing in the world that made Camilla suffer. Not even the comments coming from her grandfather. That time had been left behind. Coming from the lowest of the lowest was not always a bad thing.“Get… Go… go to hell! Get… het the hell… out of here!” Mr. Milan said, dragging himself away from her.Camilla, with wise steps, she took the needle she had in her bag together with the little bottle of glass that Bastian had given her before.“W-what… what are you… doing, damn bitch?!”Camilla smiled. “I remember how many times you confessed to me to miss your son, my father, of course. Don’t you think a little meetup

When Cameron and Diego arrived at the hospital, the pain in Cameron’s heart was already leaving breathless. In a way, it felt like it was her fault. In a way, she also knew she couldn’t stop what her sister wanted to do all along, because it was who she was. The really surprising fact was knowing her capable of such a thing. She had killed her grandfather, and there was no way Cameron could prove that.At the waiting room, Mrs. Ferrer, Ace, Mr. Ferrer and the little boy Gadriel were waiting for Camilla –the real Cameron- and Diego. There was nothing she could do.As soon as Ace saw her coming, he got up. Gadriel ran to her, without caring about the man who was beside her.“Mommy!” Gadriel said. “Mommy, what’s going on? I don’t understand anything. My father wanted me to stay at home but Mrs. Maria didn’t go to work. I didn’t want to stay alone. What’s going on? Why did you come here? My daddy said this is more important than the dinner we have prepared for you.”‘Daddy. His daddy. Ace

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
