THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

In Islander

As they passed back into the main room of the apartment, Amber entered first and behind her Dylan, who looked radiant, very happy, since he had achieved one of his greatest longings. The attraction he felt for her was at first sight.

From that day he saw her with Christopher, he set out to conquer her and here is the result. Obviously, it took him a long time to achieve it because he had to wait for them to break up. Then, for him to get out of jail and now for her to be convinced that he was her best option.

-This deserves a special celebration! -He announced, wanting to show the world, through his networks, that she was his girlfriend. Especially to Christopher, to whom he took it from her- Tomorrow Saturday night he picked you up at eight o’clock to have dinner at the best restaurant in town.

-Okay! I’ll wait for you,” she affirmed, smiling with him and kissing him on the cheek goodbye, so she could talk to her mother.

-I love you, Amber! -He whispered in her ear, so her mother wouldn’t hear. As Dylan left the apartment Sabrina approached her daughter and asked….

-You accepted him, didn’t you? Even though you have no feelings for him. Because I’m sure that Christopher is the one who keeps moving the floor,” said her mother, angry with her.

-I want to explain you many things, but I think you’d better ignore them to avoid problems. And yes, I accepted him,” she confessed coldly.

“From today he will be my boyfriend, I don’t know for how long, everything will depend on how long it takes me to discover some truths or falsehoods related to him. So I don’t know, how long this will be,” she announced, leaving her mother astonished and disappointed.

For Sabrina, her daughter changed a lot. She was no longer the dreamy, sweet and romantic girl she always protected. She became a cold, manipulative, calculating woman. She was really worried because her daughter had changed, not for the better, but quite the opposite.

-Do what you want! -I prefer to go back to Santiago de Leon,” her mother replied, without analyzing the information given by her daughter. I don’t want to be here anymore, to witness how you self-destruct,” replied her mother, bitterly, looking at her with great sadness.

-I can’t force you to stay by my side! -I have a purpose and I will not stop, mother, until I get it, I wish you would understand me. However, I understand that it is very difficult for you to understand, I will respect your decision!

Tomorrow, I will return you to Santiago de Leon!” she assured her mother, to whom she did not want to give any more explanations. And she withdrew to her room to make some phone calls.

In Santiago de Leon

Nairobi Cedeno, lawyer and co-worker of Amber, convinced that her friend’s trial was totally flawed, spent part of the afternoon and evening of that Friday, carefully reviewing all the proceedings and decisions issued in her case.

Among the irregularities found were the judicial time periods established by law, which were not complied with. In fact, most of them were shortened too much and there were even decisions that were resolved less than an hour after their admission.

Also, it was evidenced that the defense was deprived of the opportunity to prepare good arguments to help Amber. Likewise, it was observed that the witnesses ratified the affidavits that had been notarized, without complying with the time limits and formalities of the law.

Likewise, in the confrontation with Amber, both the defense attorney and the judge missed a lot of relevant information. This could have helped the accused by bringing new elements to be investigated, however, this was not the case.

In addition, when Dylan was interrogated, he confirmed that the Prietos brothers had worked for him. Because of this, the judge accepted his statements as valid and with them sentenced Amber to two years in prison.

Finally, according to the sentence issued, she could have had her sentence commuted or substituted for a different, less harmful sentence, based on her conduct or moral solvency. Amber was eligible for community service, right there in Santiago de Leon.

In view of these results, Nairobi wrote via WhatsApp to her friend:

[“Amber can we chat?” Nairobi asked].NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

[“Yes, I’m lying down, but I’m not sleepy,” Amber replied].

[“Just today I withdrew the certified copies of your file. Reading through them, I found so many flaws in your case that I almost cried when I saw how they messed up your file,” said Nairobi].

[Until now, I have not bothered to review my file. I was initially focused on punishing those who killed my son,” she said].

[Someone was determined to keep you locked up, separated from your family, you were able to serve your sentence in freedom, doing community service,” Nairobi clarified.]

[Yes, I discussed this with the first lawyer who supposedly defended me, paid by Dylan Lugo. However, he emphasized to me that I had been given a very good sentence, that I will remain calm” added Amber sending an emoji].

[“God, my friend! The lawyer’s name doesn’t sound familiar, I haven’t heard it before, but he gave you a lousy defense” Nairobi informed her].

[“In any case, I didn’t want to take that back. Who will give me back the eighteen months of life, I spent locked up there? Or who will give me back my son?” Amber questioned in pain].

[You’re right! They shortened all the judicial lapses for you, taking away the opportunity for your defender, to prepare a good defense or at least investigate” assured Nairobi].

[Yes, I also questioned that to the lawyer, but he insisted me to leave it, that he would make the decisions that were best for me” said Amber, sending another emoji].

[Now it remains, that precisely the two testimonies with which you were condemned, be totally disproved in this process that I have against Hildegart Fontain, through the videos and witnesses that I will present in due time” she affirmed].

[Well! At least it will help me to clear my name, because there will be those who still doubt my innocence, despite expressing that they trust me” she chatted].

[“I’m sure, I’ll make it, count on it” replied her friend].

[Please keep me in the loop,” Amber pleaded.]

[I need to know who to believe. At this point I doubt everyone around me” she added again].

[“No wonder! Trust that the truth will come out publicly” assured Nairobi].

[I’m going to use the power you gave us, just in case” she reported].

[“Calm down! Do, whatever is more convenient. See you tomorrow, get some rest” Amber said goodbye].

[“Same, for you” replied Nairobi]…
