Sunday morning, in his private hangar, Christopher boarded the plane, where all the passengers were already there. Once in the cockpit, he greeted one by one, leaving astonished the three daughters of his godfather and Attorney of Santiago de Leon, Liam Pocaterra, who looked at him with pleasure and admiration.

-This is the most pleasant surprise of this trip! -Rocio affirmed, without taking her eyes off him, just as he was looking at her. This was a capricious, arrogant, but very beautiful young woman, with an exaggeratedly curvaceous body.

-Thank you Rocio,” he replied, trying to conceal his interest in her, to avoid problems with his godparents.

-What Rocio said is not enough! It is a super spectacular surprise,” declared his younger sister Luz, who fixed her eyes on Christopher’s face, scanning him from head to toe.

-Daughters, stop the jokes! Look how you have made my godson blush -commented the Procurator, smiling with his wife, keeping his eyes on Christopher.

To conclude this embarrassing moment with his godparents, he asked the stewardess to bring breakfast for everyone and sat down in front of them. They talked about the tours that the island offered, so that upon arrival he could choose or propose options to the tour guide for the different tours.

-To begin with,” he said, “you can ask for a tour of the historic city of Castries, where you can see the famous banana plantations.

“After that, you can ask for a tour of the villages of Anse La Raye and Canarie, they have spectacular views.

-That’s great, son,” Liam replied.

-They can also sail through the rainforest and observe the majestic twin Pythons, they are extraordinary,” he added in a husky, manly voice that had his godparents’ daughters captivated.

“In addition to this, they can visit Sulphur Spring, where they can take mud baths in therapeutic pools of hot minerals. Then, enjoy a Creole lunch in a popular restaurant in the same area, the guide will take you there.

“Finally, there are the botanical gardens and Diamond Falls; Marigot Bay, the beautiful beaches and the boat tour in Soufriere with snorkeling, among others, there are many beautiful places to visit.

-Why don’t you stay with us? -She added, the youngest of the three, “So that you can take us to what is really worth seeing.

-When you fly over the Islands, you will realize that everything is worthwhile,” guaranteed Christopher, with experience in these tours.

-But we will surely feel better and have more fun if you are there, Chris! -Rocio interjected, with her sweet and melodic voice.

-I can’t stay with you! -I’m here on a business trip, I must return today to Santiago de Leon, to resolve pending matters.

-What a pity! -answered Rocio, who was wearing white shorts with a top of the same color, which extraordinarily highlighted her figure and whom he avoided looking at closely.

-Yes!” he answered with a monosyllable, diverting his eyes to his cell phone.

When they arrived at the Islands, there was an armored van waiting for them, which took them to Christopher’s apartment, so that they could settle in. He escorted them there, wishing them a happy ride, because it was near the time of their appointment with the Minister.

-Happy vacations, Godfather!” wished Christopher as he said goodbye.

“My God, what a woman! If it wasn’t for my best man, I’d throw my whole body on her. I think it’s worth it, getting burned there” he thought shaking his head, as he settled back into the van and continued his journey to the scheduled appointment.

As soon as he arrived, he presented all the documentation and finalized the permits to invest in the Island. Christopher, at the end of the meeting, left directly to the airport, to take off early. His crew was there waiting for him.

The following day, in Santiago de Leon

That morning, Attorney Nairobi Cedeno, accompanied by attorneys Mildred Rosales and Rony Bencomo, appeared at the Court. It was the hearing set for the ratification of the affidavit of the brothers Jefferson and Jerson Prieto, presented as evidence by Hildegart Fontain.

These testimonies became the only evidence to be presented by him in the case against him. These testimonies are challenged by the lawyer Nairobi, based on the statements taken into account by the respective Judge, in the judicial process against Amber Tovar Marin, almost three years ago.

Once the hearing began, it was a hard blow for Hildegart Fontain, the presentation, by attorney Nairobi, of the affidavits of her witnesses, in certified copies of Amber’s file.

-Your Honor, with these certified copies of Amber Tovar Marin’s file, it is demonstrated that at that same hour, on that same date, they were in a place totally distant from Fontain’s company.

“In addition to this, in their statements they alleged that they were working for Constructora Lugo, very distant from Fontain’s company, since they are located at opposite ends – stating, before this, the exact location of the two companies.

-That is false, of all falsehood! -cried Hildegart Fontain. Being censured by the Judge, who ordered him to remain silent and wait his turn to testify.

Faced with this controversy, Fontain’s lawyers presented original videos, which demonstrated their arrival at Fontain’s company on the date, time and place indicated. Likewise, they presented the internal recordings, in which it was evidenced their compliance with the working day.

Nairobi after the defense attorney made his presentation and allegations on behalf of Hildegart Fontain, he requested his right to speak.

-As you can see, your Honor, with these original videos and recordings, it is demonstrated that Jefferson and Jerson Prieto lied to the Court when they made their statements on that occasion and for which Ms. Amber Tovar Marin was tried, convicted and sentenced.

-Objection, Your Honor,” Hildegart’s defense attorney growled, “The facts presented by the plaintiff attorney have nothing to do with the case before this Court.

-What do you mean they have nothing to do with the case? Your Honor, an innocent person was unjustly sentenced to two years in jail for what they declared under oath. They lied and now they pretend to claim to be at that very moment, in another place, distant from that one, in order to favor Mr. Fontain.

-Objection denied,” declared the judge, accepting the arguments of the plaintiff’s attorney.

-Your Honor! The videos, recordings and their statements before the Criminal Court prove that these citizens could not have been in two parties at the same time. Therefore, they are lying under oath and this is a crime. Consequently, they should be punished.

-Objection, Your Honor,” shouted the defense again…
