THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

Six months after the death of Don Ozzi Morillo, Maddie at the cemetery, next to her daughter-in-law and son, placed a huge bouquet of flowers on his grave and lit a candle, as she has been doing, every month since his departure.

During these months she focused on her two grandchildren Arantza and Christopher, her greatest loves. Her son invited her to take a long trip to Europe and some Asian countries to celebrate the Christmas holidays outside of Santiago de Leon.

Maddie was standing in front of the grave of her beloved Ozzi, so that he could help her decide whether or not to go on the trip. She knows that they are doing it so that these days to come, his absence will not hit her so hard, although it will be difficult, because she will always miss him.

-Well, Mommy! Here we are, I hope daddy will give you some sign to accept this walk -commented Christopher holding Amber’s hand, who days ago took a pregnancy test and it came out positive, this made him take a vacation again.

-Yes my love, I know he will give me an answer,” she smiled following her son’s words. They sat in the Morillo pantheon, where all the members of this dynasty are buried, in Santiago de Leon.

Christopher sat Amber on his lap, so that she would not sit on the chairs in the pantheon, in case they had not been recently maintained. After the cemetery, they went to the chapel located next to it, where a mass was celebrated.

Fifteen days later

At the beginning of December they left Santiago de Leon to visit new countries. They were accompanied by Maddie and Sabrina, together with their little son, who on the eighth day will be one year old. For this, Christopher booked tickets to Disneyland Paris.

A day before Christopher’s birthday, Daniela, Thiago and his niece Arantza arrived in a private plane. Also, Elian, Genesis and their daughter, Sol. And likewise, his godparents, Angie, Joshua and his parents.

-My love, everything is ready -announced Amber, when she received the confirmation from the agency hired by Christopher to organize the celebration.

-Ok, my life! I’m on my way to the airport with the chauffeur to pick up our guests,” he said smiling, leaving with two vans to bring them all.

Meanwhile, at the airport

-Welcome to Paris,” said the greeter on behalf of Christopher, who was already on his way.

-Thank you, Charles! -greeted Elian very cordially, in perfect French.

-Remember, not everyone speaks French,” Elian announced to Charles, so that he would speak in Spanish and everyone could understand him.

-Ahhh, perfect! Excuse me,” he replied, looking at everyone and receiving a message from Christopher, who was already in the parking lot.

-Okay, boss! Then, we will wait for you here, at the international flights exit,” he replied, with a voice message to Christopher, “Let’s go through immigration.

In just a few minutes, Christopher arrived accompanied by his bodyguard, to where they were, helping everyone with the luggage transfers. These were taken to the same hotel, where he and all his family were staying.

Thus, an hour after landing, they gathered in a special room of the hotel, reserved by Christopher, so as not to be disturbed by strangers and where lunch was held for all his guests.

-How was the trip?” asked Christopher, greeting Elian with a hug.

-Excellent! In spite of the long trip,” answered Elian.

-And how is everything in Santiago de Leon? -replied Christopher.

Elian, somewhat worried, indicated that they would talk later on their own. Before this answer, Christopher turned on his alarms again, because that tone of voice of his assistant, implied the presence of serious problems.

-Can’t you tell me something? -Christopher consulted, getting worried, even though he tried to control himself.

-One of our planes for private flights has been hijacked, with twelve people on board,” he said, very quietly, adding, “The news has not yet been leaked to the press or the media.

Christopher was shocked and astonished by the news. Since these were big words, he felt a little responsible, thinking that it would probably be someone who wanted to take revenge on him or his family.

With these thoughts and concerns, he, as the host, made a toast. He also thanked everyone for their presence for his son’s birthday the next day at the amusement park. As soon as they finished eating, he headed to his suite with Elian.

-Tell me what happened,” he asked, intrigued.

-On last night’s flight, there was a change of pilot, supposedly for health reasons of the official captain of the ship. I was presented with the substitute’s credentials and everything was perfect.

-So?” asked Christopher anxiously, supposing that nowhere in the world, it seemed, would he have peace of mind.

-Twenty minutes after take-off, the control tower informed me that the plane had deviated from its initial destination and disappeared from the radar, to this day nothing has been heard from the aircraft,” Elian assured.

-Did you mobilize all the state security forces,” said Christopher, more anxiously.

-Yes and nothing, in Santiago de Leon there is no trace of the ship. The unfortunate thing is that one of the borders is only fifteen minutes away from us, by plane,” he answered.

-Who are the passengers?” questioned Christopher, taking his right hand to his hair to smooth it back.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

-The two senators, the most fierce opponents of your godfather – Elian affirmed, worried – The attorney general already knows it and I have also noticed him very worried. He sent a communication to Zeta’s government and they are cooperating.

-Have you mobilized our private investigators? -Christopher asked, walking towards the suite’s window.

-Totally! They presume, they are enemies of these two politicians, but we don’t have anything for sure yet, Christopher.

-Please, Elian! At whatever time you receive information, you communicate with me as soon as I can be alone with my godfather I will speak with him – Christopher replied.

-Count on it,” Elian assured.

The two left the suite to join the group, where they were eating and drinking in the baby’s pre-birthday celebration. Once the meeting was over, they all sought to go up to their rooms.

In the case of Joshua, Angie and her in-laws, they had their own suite in this hotel, because this was one more of their wide chain of hotels around the world. When they went upstairs, he and his young wife went to their own suite where she began to feel sick.

Joshua called the hotel’s medical service to examine her. She was showing very specific symptoms of pregnancy, with which the two looked at each other and drew on their faces a broad smile.

When the test was done, the result was positive. So at last, they had achieved what they had longed for, to be pregnant again. Joshua hugged her tightly, the doctor forbade them to have sex for a few days, while the symptoms passed.

He immediately wrote to his friend:

“Christopher, my friend, I’m pregnant, ha ha ha!” he chatted].

[Congratulations, I’m glad bro, that’s great!”, Christopher replied].

[I’m happy! So is Angie, what’s more she’s crying, my little girl!” He commented].

[Amber, she’s pregnant too! Almost a month ago she took the test and it came out positive” confessed Christopher].

[“Congratulations, brother! If I had known about this, I would have asked you to get Amber pregnant sooner ha ha ha!” commented Joshua].

[“How so?” asked Christopher].

[“You remember when Amber, she came out pregnant with the baby, then a month or two later, Angie came out” Joshua reminisced].

[“Right!” agreed Christopher smiling].

[“So we should agree, for the next ones, ha ha ha!” replied Joshua].

[Ha ha ha ha! Have a good rest,” Christopher wished them].

[“The same to you,” said Joshua].
