UNDER THAT CONTRACT CHAPTER 9
How much of ourselves are we willing to give in order to find out what future holds for each of us? Maybe, at the end of the day, not much because human beings are like that. We’re horrified of what we don’t know.In the little pot of people with no social class, the lowest of the lowest she was always like a diamond among stones. With her curly and long black hair, the slim figure, that mischievous smile and seductive look in her green eyes, Camila moved her hips here and there, behaving as the mother she was at day but not at night.The loud male voices offering their products in that marketplace were heard for the beautiful lady who walked here and there, smelling the smooth aroma of the fruits all together. It was enough a smile from her part to those gross men to make them put everything they had at her feet. She was like that. Seductive, flirting… someone who loved to be loved, someone who loved attention. Something she was never going to change no matter how much she tried to b

Two hours later Cameron’s eyes were tired of dancing here and there, watching people smile and talk to each other but no one who approached Cameron to ask if she needed something, or at least to know how she was doing at that moment.By his part, Ace hadn’t stopped watching her from afar. The desire to talk to her, or to dance with her burning inside of him made him go uncontrollable for an instant. He needed to feel that woman close to him like the evening when he saved her from an embarrassing moment and danced together. Of course a playboy like him couldn’t seat and talk about love. But seeing the situation between his friend Diego and Cameron gave him the right to break into their peace and play, play a little as he always did with women.If only Cameron would’ve known what Ace was thinking about her it surely had given a boost to her confidence for the first time. Cameron, she had always been the ugly duck, the fragile one, the nerdy girl who everyone made fun of, the one who wa

CABARET ‘TILL THE DAWN “Wuooo! Wuooo!” The sound of thousands of men was heard in the club.Dim red lights, the heavy smell of sweat coming from those ones looked at the dancing woman with desire, the loud music sounding and the sound of crystal bottles hitting each other was the picture Camila saw every weekend.Smiling with seduction, she walked over the stage with her black heels undoing her bra and covering her breast with her forearm while the men continuing screaming her name. Well, the name she used there, in that club at night.“Candy! Candy! Candy!” Unlike the other women who also worked there, Camila always got the attention from all men. Her slim figure, her smooth face, the long brown and softy wavy hair, everything in her body was enough, not too much not too less, just enough to make men go crazy and make them do whatever she wants whenever she wants.Walking over the tables where drunk men shared the passion they felt for the slim figure walking here and there, seduci

Quietly as she had always been, Cameron waited patiently on her seat in front of the desk of her gynecologist. Cameron had always been the kinda women who felt good doing everything on time, taking care of her body, her mind and her spirituality. Unlike other women, Cameron enjoyed things that helped her mind and soul to grow instead of wasting time in the beauty salon, the spa and in the clubs gossiping about other women. Finally, the door of the office opened.“Are you ready, darling?” The doctor asked with a smile on her face. She had the report of her patient in her hands.Cameron got up. “Yes, yes, I’m ready.”“Remember, it’s just a checkup. All women should be like you, take care of their bodies instead of regretting. Please, take off your clothes and wear the hospital gown.” The doctor instructed.But what she didn’t know was that the gynecologist was preparing a sedative to make her sleep as soon as she lied on the bed.Outside the sale where Cameron had to be with her docto

THREE DAYS LATERSitting on her bed, Cameron couldn’t stop crying. It had been three days since that day. It had been three days since Diego stepped on her heart and did whatever he wanted with it.Now, she felt like a piece of trash. Something that was just used for making babies. Something that could be used just for the purpose of others, but never asked what she wanted. Even if they didn’t know it she had feelings, she had dreams, she had… a heart.Did Diego have an idea of how much it hurt her? Did Diego know how her being felt displaced when those doctors did whatever they did to her?She had no one she could count on. She was alone. She was sick of that. And in her heart she just had a clear light Cameron knew that needed to be followed no matter what. Diego was going to pay with blood tears what he had done to her.Tired of wishing to be dead more than living to take revenge on his husband, Cameron took her cell phone. An idea crossed her mind.Searching for the number of that

CABARET ‘TILL THE DAWN “What did you say?” Camila erased her voice.Bastian laughed as soon as he noticed how mad she went when he said so.“Tell me, asshole! What did you say?”“Wooo, relax, relax, my sweet candy. Low your voice if you don’t want people to get me out of here. Let’s see who comes with expensive gifts for you after that.”She looked around. There were two or three men looking at them, so she decided to chill out and keep calm.“Wat did you say?” She asked again.Bastian raised the right corner of his lip.“I’m getting tired, Candy, I’m getting tired of this shit. Do you really think you’re the only woman here? I can get any other and I’m sure she’s going to be cheaper than you’ve already been evn when you think otherwise. You know what? Keep the gifts, I hope you think of the opportunity you wasted to get this, every time you see them,” the man said, showing her a pile of bills.Camila gasped for air. She never thought he would be getting that amount of money just for

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

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
