Andy decided that for now he was not going to tell Camille what had happened until he knew Keyra's intentions, so he continued their relationship as if nothing was happening, knowing that at any moment his wife would come up with something, the days before the divorce. They were getting closer; he was quite anxious that he could finally sign the documents that would leave him totally free to be with Camille.
It was a divorce trial, since they were separated only because the time of the clauses had passed, so the intervention of the lawyers was necessary.
The big day arrived, and he was ready, Keyra continued to act as if nothing had happened, she even continued to live in the mansion with Andy and had not the slightest intention of preparing her things to leave, which was too strange for him, knowing that after that day, they would no longer live together.
They both leave their mansion at the same time, each one in different cars, but with the same destination, Camille was aware of what would happen that day, she was in the office anguished and wishing for the moment when she would see her love, That night they would go to celebrate the long-awaited event and they would formalize their relationship, not before society it was something that neither of them cared about, they would do it for the two of them, they would no longer be lovers, now yes, they would not have to hide from the world .
Already in the court the divorce trial begins, telling each one that it would correspond to them for the separation and all the corresponding statements, Andy was already feeling victorious, when the judge read the last clause.
"If during the period of six months of marriage, they were to conceive a child, they must remain in holy matrimony, until that minimum child reaches two years of life", otherwise all the conditions set forth in the document will become effective.
Keyra gave a wide smile and looked towards the judge handing him a document.
“Look, Mr. Judge, here's something, we can't separate at this time, I can't give my dear husband a divorce”.
The judge reads what she is giving him is a pregnancy test, which confirms that she is 3 weeks pregnant, Keyra's face is one of satisfaction and revenge. Andy feels like his world is crumbling around him, not that a child of his is a sin, but if with whom he would have it, even that poor child would have a miserable life next to that despicable being.
Andy quickly tells his trusted lawyer what she had done to him at that time, to which the lawyer objected to the judge's appeal, but there was no proof that Andy had been abused, the opposite was the argument for the judge. less valid, and fined him for trying to hinder the process, so I immediately annul the divorce.
Keyra approaches Andy and gives him a kiss on the cheek.
“You realized when I told you that you were not going to be able to separate from me so easily”.
“You are a damn Keyra, how could you do that to me? What is happening to you?”
“I already told you that my life was not going to go to hell because of your whim, now tell me, what do you think the psychologist with whom you are cheating on me is going to say? Is she going to continue being your lover?” she takes his cheek, gives it a slight pinch, and leaves the place shaking her hips triumphantly.
Andy's impotence due to the bad move that Keyra has played on him makes him totally doubt his strength, he had always distinguished himself as a strong man who achieves everything, but lately his addiction for control had gotten out of hand.
Frustrated and in the company of his lawyer, who simply slaps him considerately, he walks out of that place, he doesn't even want Orlando to give him a ride, he just walks through the crowded streets of the city, he doesn't know where to direct his eyes, and his only thought is on the beautiful Camille, their love was destined to be an impossible love, he knew that she would not forgive him for the fact that he had slept with his wife and much that he had left her pregnant, it was supposed that between him and she had nothing.
Her cell phone won't stop ringing, it's about Camille, she's calling because she wants to know how the divorce trial went, they arranged to celebrate her freedom in a beautiful place in the city, they made some reservations and everything was ready, but what that he needed to talk to her, he didn't deserve to be in such a beautiful place, he didn't know the exact place, but he had to face the situation.
After a fourth call and a dozen messages, he decides to answer:
“Hello precious” Andy's voice is broken and quite sensitive.
“Hi Andy, why don't you answer me? You bring me by a wing, I'm worried about you”.
“Things are not well Camille, it is important that we talk, I want to see you.”
“How come things didn't go well? My love, but today was the big day. What happened?” Camille is more worried now
“Leave the office, in fifteen minutes I'll pick you up in a taxi, I'm not with Orlando, I need to talk to you” Now Andy's voice is more broken, as if he were going to cry in a slight sigh.
“My love... it's okay!” Camille knows that something serious is happening, but she does not imagine that.
Fifteen minutes later he is picking her up in front of ALF and ASSOCIATES, she gets into the taxi and kisses him, without any other choice he kisses her so hard, even with the slightest thought that it would be the last time.
“Andy, you have me on tenterhooks, please tell me what is happening” Camille stares at him, she had never seen Andy's eyes with a reddish tone, he always shone for being the most imposing of men, but today his ego was finish.
“Camille, in any situation that arises from now on I want you to know that I love you with my soul, that you are the most wonderful thing that has come across my life”.
“What is all this about Andy? I don't understand!”
Andy tells the taxi man to stop in front of a beautiful park in the city. It is a beautiful place in front of a lake, there are only a few small children playing with their families, he asks Camille to get down, and they both walk into the place.
“As a child I used to come to this place with my mother, my father was always an arrogant person, he never enjoyed anything simple, I get used to having everything on his side, except his love because I was not his biological son, and in addition to that, he was the son of his employee.”
“How sad that must have been for you” Camille answers melancholy.
“It was at the time, when I was about ten years old, I went to the best school in the city and I stood out for being one of the best students, but my classmates bothered me because I was the ugly duckling in the classroom, he said terrible things to me, you know how cruel children are”.
Camille did not understand why such an introduction to what she had to tell him, however, she listened attentively to her story.
“One day a boy broke my nose and I had to answer him, my father, as he was well known to the school principal, had to attend and received this inconvenience from me, his anger was so great that he came home and took it out on my mother. He hit her so hard because I made her name look bad, that we left my father's mansion to live in the apartment where you are living now, my father took away all our support, we had to survive alone, fortunately my mother always She worked, and it was not difficult for her to do it again, when I turned 16 we returned to my father's side, but I had already finished high school and I dedicated myself to obsessively taking care of myself.
“I understand you Andy, I'm so sorry, I didn't know that part of the story” Camille feels guilty, she always had a father who took care of her until fate took it from her.
“What is the point my beloved Camille?” He turns to look at her and faces her with her eyes still like red icebergs.
They sit in a chair facing the lake and watch the sunset.
“I could not separate from Keyra; my divorce was not successful, and I must stay married to her for two more years”.
“What, what?!” Camille's face became confused and her pupils immediately dilated. She holds her head with both hands and looks away from Andy's eyes.
“two years is a long time Andy, I love you and I can be very sure of my feelings, but it's too long being your lover, I'm tired of us seeing each other secretly, to hide things from my mother, to hide from the paparazzi I want you just for me, now what happened to that damn scrawny?” Camille can't help but feel a sensation of wanting to cry, she swore that that day After so many months, her dear lover would be totally hers.
“She's pregnant” Andy bowed his head in shame, a long and uncomfortable silence stood between the two.
“Pregnant? Andy Alf, you're a liar, you told me that they had never had sex with her, she can't get pregnant out of nowhere, were you with her at the same time as me?”
“No, let me explain Camille.”
“You disgust me! Why do millionaires think they can fuck with a humble person like me? What did you think that I was a simple toy? Why did you do this to me Andy?” Camille's tears immediately spilled down her cheeks, she felt like a deep emptiness was going through her interior, she felt that he had betrayed her, although it was true she was the lover he had promised her that he did not have, nor did he feel anything for the woman that she was his wife, however now she was pregnant.
“Everything has an explanation, she drugged me, she abused my Camille I swear, I don't remember doing anything with her, even that baby can't even be mine, listen to me please!”
Camille feels that several message notifications are arriving on her phone, when she sees it on top, they are some images, she opens them and as if fate wanted Andy to suffer forever, she receives all the photos of the meeting he had with him almost four weeks ago. Keyra, the photos were too insinuating and, above all, very telling, due to the position of her phallus, which seemed to be pleased with the model's charms.
Camille holds the phone up to Andy's face, and her crying is deeper now, she covers her mouth to drown out her screams.
“This doesn't seem like abuse Andy! You recorded it and everything, only for your wife to send it to me, she already knows about me, besides everything, and she wanted to hurt me and if I did, she couldn't abuse you, these photos are very obvious, Andy I'm really sorry”.
Camille runs out of the park and hides in it, Andy sinks into a deep cry, holding his head in pain, and he can't stop his tears from falling, he felt frustrated and defeated, the sadness that was invading his heart was immense, he loved her, it was the only thing that motivated him, now she was gone, the worst thing is that she started suffering because of him, you could never forgive that.
