CONFESSIONS TO HIS MOTHER…
As Christopher left the room, he ran into his sister, who was on her way out of the office. She had planned to elope with her husband to the Island of Santa Lucia, but unfortunately, the problem of the Construction Company exploded, then the arrest of her brother and now her father’s health, in short, they temporarily suspended their trip.
-Hello sister! He greeted her, kissing her. -Hello brother-in-law! – she commented, shaking her right fist with him.
-Hello little brother! -How are you? Did you manage to solve everything? -she asked, worried about him.
-Yes, I have already signed the new collective contract with the workers and today they started their respective workdays,” he assured her.
-I’m glad! Please take care of yourself, you lost a lot of weight in that confinement,” she answered, while her husband said goodbye because he was being requested.
-See you later Christopher, see you,” said the other one.
The three of them said goodbye, heading each one to their destination. Christopher went straight to the Hotel Rosal. When he arrived there, he went to his friend’s office. Prior to this, he was stopped by one of the security staff.
-Where are you going? -asked the security guard.
-To the CEO’s office, I am your friend Christopher Morillo, I have been calling him, but apparently he has no signal,” he answered sternly.
-The CEO is not here, he left on a trip about two weeks ago. In any case, I will notify his secretary, so that she can take care of him,” he exclaimed.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
-Thank you! -he replied, walking behind him towards the president’s office.
When he spoke with the secretary, she said that Joshua was traveling and would not be back for about a month. She asked him if she could help him, as she was well aware of their friendship.
-It is something very personal,” Christopher replied, “I need to talk to him directly. Please tell him, when I talk to you, if he can call me, I need to reach him urgently.
-No problem, Mr. Morillo, I will give him your message,” replied his assistant.
Thanking her for her attention, Christopher said goodbye and left the hotel, walking towards the parking lot, where when he arrived to get his car, he relived the scenes of him chasing Amber, more than two years ago.

Later, he went to the clinic, where his father was still hospitalized, and stayed there to accompany his mother. They talked a lot, he opened his heart to his mother whom he has always seen as his great friend.
-Did you get Joshua? -She asked. “How is he? I haven’t seen him for a long time,” she said, approaching him.
-No. He’s on a trip and won’t be back for another month or so. Apparently there have been problems at one of the eastern headquarters and he is solving them,” he said anxiously.
-And is it very urgent that you need to talk to him? -She asked curiously, looking at her husband, who was falling asleep.
-Yes, it has to do with Amber. I need to find out something about her! -he affirmed, looking at his mother lovingly and putting his arm around her shoulders.
-Son, what happened between you and Amber? Why does she hate you so much? She’s been able to send you to jail I don’t understand! You two were so in love. That girl adored you, she was dying for you,” she revealed with confidence and certainty, staring at her son.
-Not everything you say, mother, was like that. Amber pretended that she “adored” me and was “dying for me,” as you say,” he affirmed, making a gesture with his hands, indicating in quotation marks.
“The truth was that she was cheating on me with someone else,” he asserted, hurt and with a deep sadness, which clearly evidenced that he was still hurting.
-Are you sure? -Questioned his mother, “Did you look for the truth? Do you have proof of that? That’s very serious, son. It puts Amber in a very bad light,” said his mother incredulously.
-That was the first thing I found out over two years ago and then it came out, that she was stealing information from me to give it to her lover,” he confirmed, with an annoyed and hostile voice.
-Are you telling me that Amber cheated on you with Dylan Lugo? -his mother asked skeptically.
-Yes, yes mother. That’s the truth, that’s why I denounced her and she paid less than two years in jail,” he answered, feeling aversion, “Now, she’s out, she’s free and ready to take revenge on me, at any price. She’s looking for any excuse to lock me up.
-What evidence do you have against her? -I refuse to believe that Amber is that kind of woman. She is a girl without malice, sincere, spontaneous, humble No, son, I refuse to consider it! -she maintained suspiciously.
“She was imprisoned! God, son! How could you do that? his mother asked dumbfounded.
-Mother, I got her in one of the presidential suites of the Rosal Hotel with Lugo. He was shirtless in the entrance hall and she was in the bathroom, from where she came out just when I beat him up and dressed in one of his jackets, how could this not be proof of his infidelity? -he said directly to his mother.
-Son, there must be a mistake in this, an explanation, how did you know they were in that suite? -His mother, without giving up, inquired.
-I began to anonymously receive, on my cell phone, photos that were taken of the two of them. From when they met in the hotel parking lot, when they were riding the elevator and then entering the room,” he explained, more calmly to his mother.
“At first, I refused the call because it was anonymous, but with the last photos, I flew out in my Ferrari and when I went up to the room I found them as I explained to you,” he finished clarifying without going into more details, such as the slap and the chase he gave her.
-God!
It can’t be, that I was so wrong about Amber, I refuse to believe that! Something about this is not clear. Did you check the hotel cameras? No business today lacks this,” her mother advised, frowning.
-From anger and jealousy, I lost my rationality, I let myself be carried away by these feelings and I dedicated myself to punish her. Basing it all, on the information she provided to Dylan to harm me,” he stated sadly.
“Did you ask Amber, why she was in that suite with Dylan? -His mother questioned, looking into his eyes in disbelief.
– “No, I didn’t ask her,” he replied, with a distracted look. His mother, unconvinced of Amber’s guilt, insisted.
-You should have asked Joshua for the videos of that day. By now, the safest thing is that they have been deleted,” said Michelle with concern.
-That’s why I’m looking for him urgently,” her son declared, “but he’s not in Santiago de Leon and without him, I can’t do anything.
In any case, I left a message with his secretary so he can contact me,” he added, looking at his mother, who placed her hand on his arm as a sign of support.
-What can I tell you, son? -She asked. “Let’s wait for Joshua! And I pray to God, get the video that will clear this up for you.
-Yes, mother! -he replied, sadly…
