THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

A month later, at the Prosecutor’s mansion

Exactly one month after having asked for information about Liam Brown, a detailed report about his personal and professional life arrived to the Prosecutor. It appeared that he was married to a woman who was heiress to an immense fortune.

She was also the owner of the company he runs, which was about to declare bankruptcy due to his mismanagement. His wife has decided to leave him out of the board, in view of his irresponsible management.

In addition to this, even though nothing has been proven, he has an open investigation for alleged suspicions, with his links to one of the Pacific cartels. In addition, he has had several scandals for his extramarital affairs with women in the artistic world.

And so, the document contains a lot of information related to wastefulness and excesses of all kinds, including drug consumption. For the Prosecutor, this was not a cause of surprise, because he sensed it since the day he met him.

-Luz, invite Liam to come to dinner with us tonight,” ordered the Attorney General to his daughter.

-Yes father, I’ll call him. Anything special? -she asked her father, astonished and anxious.

-Yes, I want him to tell me about his intentions with you,” he answered, “Besides, we will have two guests, whom I want everyone to meet.

-Perfect, daddy! I’ll let you know,” replied his daughter, excited and confident.

She contacted Liam, who agreed to attend, unsuspectingly. When dinner time arrived, the first to arrive were two officials invited by him, who attended with their respective escorts, who were waiting outside.

One was the official translator for the President’s events and the other was the DEA representative in Santiago de Leon. After seven o’clock, Liam arrived and was personally received by Luz, who was unaware of her father’s two guests.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

These, when passing to the intimate living area of the mansion, began their performance as guests of the Attorney.

-Nice to meet you Mr. Liam Brown “It is a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Liam Brown” -manifested in perfect English the DEA representative.

This astonished Liam, who did not imagine that any of those present would speak his language.

– The pleasure is mine” – replied Liam, recovering from the surprise immediately. And so it was with the President’s protocol translator. The latter, all at once, became alert, suspecting that something was going on.

-Well, let’s get back to what we came for,” said the DEA representative, passing a message to his staff, who were outside the mansion, waiting for an order from their boss to enter.

-Liam, what do you do for a living? -asked the Attorney General.

– Liam, what do you do for a living,” translated the translator at once.

Luz was irritated with her father, seeing that he had looked for a translator to intimidate her boyfriend. For this reason, she approached him and asked:

-What’s going on, dad? Why did you look for someone to translate your conversation with Liam? When I can do it myself,” she said, angry with her father.

-Why are you getting angry? I am looking out for your interests and for your very life,” said her father, “Because you can’t see, not even where you are walking,” scolded the Attorney General.

Meanwhile, the DEA representative continued questioning Liam, who was already suspecting that this was an ambush against him. Because of this, he gestured to Luz to come closer to him, hide behind her and escape from this interrogation.

However, the Attorney General had asked the DEA agent that if he had to be arrested so that he would talk and confess about what he knew in relation to the Pacific cartel, he should do it. In the end, the important thing was to free his daughter from this guy.

Once the investigation was over, the DEA representative told the Attorney General that he would act immediately, so as not to put anyone at risk. He had been on the trail of this criminal for some time, therefore, he would not let him escape.

Consequently, the prosecutor sent a message to his men, who interrupted at the mansion and took the foreigner out in handcuffs. They took him into custody, surprising everyone, especially Luz, who refused to accept reality.

In spite of the crisis that gave Luz and Sindy, the Procurador kept control of the situation. He asked the DEA agent to explain the situation to his daughters. Once he did, they fell back in their seats stunned.

The foreigner was taken to the police station where he was subjected to strong interrogation. Meanwhile, his transfer to the USA was prepared, as he was on the run, due to the investigations in his own country.

-Dad, how could you do this to me? Without telling me,” reproached Luz.

-I could not tell you anything, daughter, you were blind with him and you would have warned him,” he answered, hurt and worried. He approached her, to give her his support, hugged her and narrated everything that had been revealed to him in the report, including his marital status.

-God, how could he play with me so much,” she questioned, hurt, “I insisted, if he was single, and he swore he was. Besides, he knew perfectly well who you were because in my Facebook profile appears the emblem of the Attorney General’s Office.

-Suddenly, that’s what he was looking for, to take refuge and protect himself under my tutelage, illegally becoming my son-in-law,” added the Attorney General, “But don’t worry, he’ll be held accountable for all his crimes before justice and he won’t be able to escape.

-Waaaaa! Waaaaaaa!” Luz burst into tears.

-Why are you crying, daughter? We are sparing you from worse things or evils, for God’s sake,” her father growled, hugging her to calm her down.

-The fact that you have discovered him, does not take away the fact that I fell in love with him… Waaaa!

Her mother, unable to understand her daughter, was amazed at her daughter’s attitude. She did not seem to care much that the man was a delinquent, but that she had fallen in love and her father had had him arrested.

-Luz, daughter! How is it possible that the only thing that affects you is that you fell in love, and not what he is? And not what he is. For God’s sake, react! -her mother growled, annoyed and impatient.

-Why don’t you put yourself in my shoes, Mommy,” she questioned sadly.

-And why don’t you put yourself in your father’s or mine? How do you think we feel? Seeing how he made fun of you and us.

At this, Luz ran to the stairs, went up to her room and locked herself in there until she calmed down…
