Obsession and desire novel Chapter 36

Andy, despite the sadness he feels in his heart, has decided to take care of Zoé, the feelings that have grown for her have increased, but the anger he has towards his mother is so latent that he doesn't even want to see her, he arrives at the mansion to confront her.
He hands the girl over to the nurse who helps with her care and walks out into the front room, his eyes clouded, fury driving him crazy.
“Keyra, I must talk to you!” she was lying there changing channels.
“If it's to talk to me about your daughter, then you can stay with her, because I'm not going to take charge”.
“Look, don't refer to Zoé like that, I need you to explain this to me- Andy throws the DNA test in his face”
“What is that Andy?” she asks surprised as she takes the paper.
“Read it, don't be cheeky, and I need you to get out of my house, immediately”
Keyra looks at the test in surprise, her face pales and she begins to tremble.
 “This is false! this is a montage! Where did you get that from? I imagine that was Raquel's plan to separate me from you, of course, since she has never taken away the title of servant”.
“Don't mess with my mom, Keyra, she has nothing to do with it. Tell me who is Zoé's real father?”
“YOU ARE THE FATHER OF THE GIRL! Who else could be the father?”  she grabs her head and starts fluttering around the room.
“It's not me, damn it! It's for the girl's health, aren't you seeing the conditions Zoé is in? You're heartless! Get out of my house, I'm going to annul the marriage and I'm going to sink you, you're going to pay me for everything he's done to Zoé and my Keyra”.
“No Andy you can't do this to me, no, I can't lose my estate, besides your father and mine have businesses, what will the press say about me?” She starts to grab her head and her tears start to fall down her cheeks.
Andy looks at her furiously, it provoked him to hit her, but his chivalry was intact, he would never dare to hit a woman, or that was what was clear to him up to that moment.
“I can only ask you to leave my house, I don't want to see you anymore, my lawyer will be contacting you”.
“No Andy, no, please, I beg you, see that I can explain everything to you, it's that I was very bad, I felt very alone because of your slights, then one night I met a man and I slept with him, I suppose he must to be Zoé's father, but I thought that the day we were together she had gotten pregnant, that's why I said she was yours” She kneels at Andy's feet, imploring him for mercy
“Get up off the floor, don't be ridiculous, you could have wallowed with a hundred men if you wanted to, what causes me pain is that you lied to me to keep me by your side, besides that you don't even feel a bit sorry for your own daughter and treat her as you treat her. Didn't it hurt you to have had it? Doesn't the slightest feeling arouse you? Can't you see how she needs you?” Andy's eyes cloud over when saying those words, he didn't understand how human beings like Keyra and her own father existed.
“Give me one last chance, look, I'll be the best mother for Zoé, don't take me away from her, I promise I'll change, and I'll support her throughout her process, I promise! I promise you! But don't hurt my life like this, I'm a human being and I've made mistakes, but I can change her, and I will for her. Andy please”
“I don't want you to get out of my house, my employees will take care of your things and send them to your house, now get out”.
“No, I'm not leaving! If I go, I'll take the girl and I'll never let you be with her, I swear, legally she's only mine because she's not your daughter, so it's up to you!”
 “You, take Zoé? I'm not going to let you, she has my last name, legally she's mine, I just want you to get out”.
“But her mother is me, legally I have custody of her, so I'm taking her. – Keyra leaves the room and goes directly to Zoé's room, she approaches her crib, although the baby is fast asleep, she takes her out without even taking care of her nephrostomy”.
 “Don't touch her, Keyra!” Andy is filled with fury
“Do not come near Andy Alf, or she will be the one who will pay me back” Keyra takes the girl a little harder
“Look, let's fix things then, I'll give you a chance, but leave the girl alone, we'll both solve it.” Andy tries to reconcile with her, before her subconscious played a trick on him, because he was about to hit her.
She puts the girl back in the crib, and approaches him, begins to surround him, her face is insane, and begins to run her finger through Andy's body, he can only outline a look of disgust.
“Don't touch me, I just want you to become Zoé's mother, and as soon as the deadline is up, we sign the divorce and you get out of here, we'll see the girl from here to there with whom she's going to live. Did you understand? But don't mess with the girl, or I won't control myself, and I'll finish you off Keyra”.
“Calm down Andy, I promise I'll become the best person in the world. You'll see Zoé will love me.”
She leaves the girl's room, and goes back to the main bedroom, Andy orders that they change her room to a guest room, do a general cleaning and return her things to the same position, she did not have to be in a main room of the house.
From the next day, Andy begins to resume routines that he had neglected, he gets up at 4:30 in the morning, and as at the beginning, a cold water bath to reactivate his muscles begins his exercise routine, before going out to do in charge of his company again, he spends a few hours with Zoé, he does not want to neglect his work as a father, even though she was not his biological daughter, he promised to be her natural father and raise her.
Arriving at the company, he receives a call that he did not expect to receive, his eyes widen when he sees the identifier, it was Camille.
 “Camilla! How are you? What a pleasure to listen to you.”
“Andy, I'm not well, my mom passed away” Camille's crying did not wait during the call, Andy's eyes clouded over, he appreciated Angela very much and perfectly understood the pain that Camille was feeling.
“Camille, I'm very sorry. Where are you? I'm leaving for there”.
“My mom died last night, she couldn't resist her ailments, we're at the central funeral home, if you want to come with me”.
“Of course I'm going to accompany you” Orlando for the central funeral home, please.
Andy now changes the course of his journey, he just realized that he was not the only one who was having a hard time, during the time he took care only of Zoé, he completely forgot that Camille was also going through a very hard situation, he regretted having forgotten her during that time, it wasn't that there wasn't a great love for her in his heart, it's that his heart at that moment belonged more to Zoé.
Already in the funeral home, in the room where Angela was being watched, there was only Camille, Carolain, and her aunt, the three women were crying inconsolably around the coffin, for Andy it was incredible to see the solitude in which Camille was, he assumed at that moment, that he was all she had left.
“Camille, for God's sake, forgive me, I didn't know what was happening”.
She gets up from where she was sitting and goes to his outstretched arms, she cries inconsolably in her chest for her loss, both were in such a miserable state that the other's arms were the greatest of consolations.
“Andy, how is Zoe?”  she asks him.
“Okay, among the stable terms, we're waiting for a surgery, but there's something you should know and that's very important for both of us right now, but I'll tell you when you're a little better”.
“I understand you, but please tell me if it's something good I need to hear it”.
“I don't know if it is, I flatly refuse to be good, but Zoé is not my daughter”.
 “That?! Andy, I'm so sorry of course it's not good, and what did Keyra tell you?”
“She doesn't say anything, I'm just asking for an opportunity to win the girl's love and not destroy her life, but it doesn't matter now, we'll talk about it later, I'll be with you at all times, I won't leave you alone, no more”.
She hugs him, they are both giving each other the love and shelter they need, lately life had not been kind to them, but all this was a sign that they could finally be together again and cultivate their love.
