Obsession and desire novel Chapter 40

Camille was concentrating on the new job at Andy's company, when the news of her boss's arrest reached her ears, everyone began to murmur about what happened with Keyra, many speculated about it, although everyone knew very well the truth. The kind of person Andy was, some comments turned negative, pointing out that he was a person with some hidden disorder, or simply a murderer hidden behind the appearance of a chivalrous man, an excellent businessman, almost perfect.
Surprised by what was happening, Camille decides to call Raquel, only she can get him out of the confusion. After a few attempts on her phone, she answers.
“Camille, dear, how are you? She was just going to call you” answers Raquel.
“Hello Mrs. Raquel, tell me what is happening? I am hearing terrible things in the company and Andy has not arrived, I am distraught”.
“Well, Keyra's withering said that he had hit her, I am not clear about the events that happened here at home, but my son told me that she had hit herself.”
“Damn crazy! she just wants to destroy it, I've been miserable, I haven't given him my support, I haven't wanted to listen to him Raquel, where is he?”
“Daughter in the central delegation, her father is there, I'm with Zoé, I can't leave her alone in the hands of that deranged.”
“I'm leaving there, please take care of the baby, we don't know what Keyra is capable of”.
“Of course, dear”
Camille, after listening to what Andy's mother tells her, runs to the delegation, her heart pounding and she wonders if what Raquel tells her is true, for her it would be totally incredible if he hit his wife, it would be the last thing he would do.
Back at the delegation, she asks about Andy, but they take a long time to answer, the site is crowded with the media, a scandal like this put Andy and his family in the mouth of sensationalism, but the one who was causing everything was Keyra, who made some statements live, saying that he had taken her off guard and hit her with a watch that was next to her bed, he was taking care of giving her as much discredit as possible.
“Sir, please allow me to talk to Andy Alf, look, I'm his primary psychologist, he needs my attention” Camille searches to let her see Andy.
“Miss, he has forbidden visits, don't you see that he is a dangerous person? As he returned to the super model of his wife, what a bad guy is that man” the policeman on duty answers him.
“Look, that's precisely why it's necessary to talk to him, I'm his psychologist, look, let me in and I'll give you a very good bonus, I promise I'll take care of everything, but let me in to see him.
” Are you blackmailing me?”  The police officer asks suspiciously.
“No, of course not, I'm just trying to see him, I'm worried about his mental health, what's more, if something happens to him, we will have to denounce the people in charge of his custody, can you imagine where he commits suicide at his post? it would be terrifying!” Camille now tries to manipulate the situation a bit.
“Okay, you have a maximum of fifteen minutes under your responsibility, and please leave the bonus in an envelope here, I hope you keep quiet, or he won't have a good stay here, understood?”
“Thank you very much, agent!”
The policeman takes her to the cell where Andy is, she can barely see him as he is sitting in a corner, with his knees drawn up to his chest, the sadness that was inside him was noticeable, he knew that he was thinking of Zoé, and that he could lose her because of what happened, it made him nostalgic to see him like this.
"Andy… hello" she says in a low voice through the bars.
 “Camille!” he stands up quickly and approaches where she is
 “What are you doing here? It's not a good place for you, my love.”
 “What happened Andy?” Camille can't help letting the tears down her cheeks, she immediately saw Andy behind those bars, she felt a pang go through his chest, she didn't imagine how he should be feeling.
“Well, a misunderstanding girl, but my lawyer is going to take care of all that, I don't know if you know, but Keyra tried to abuse me again, and I hit her only once, but I didn't do it hard, I just wanted to get her off my back , then after reacting, she took the watch and began to hit his face causing serious injuries”.
“Andy, what you're telling me is hell, but I promise that this time I'll be here for you, I'm not going to leave you alone for a single moment, but you must tell me the whole truth. Did you hit her besides that first time?”
“I'm telling you the whole truth Camille, what's the point of lying to you? Don't you believe in me?”
“Yes, Andy, I think so! I just have to see the media scandal that Keyra is making outside…” Camille lowers her head as if questioning the trust, she has towards him.
“I understand that you don't trust me, but I think you've learned to know me, you know that I wouldn't be able to hurt someone, please, Camille!”  Andy withdraws from next to the bars and crosses his arms, his look is disappointed, he knew that everyone mistrusted him, but Camille? She?
“Forgive me, all this has me upset, come please, look me in the eye, I'll be with you I promise”.
“Camille, you are within your rights if you do not want to believe me, and if so, I ask you to leave” Andy points to the exit, he is annoyed by the insinuations that he had just made
 “But Andy! I'm already here, you don't know how much it cost me, because of those attitudes you have, I don't trust you” Camille lets go regardless of his reaction.
“Well, I don't need any person by my side who distrusted me, now get out please! -he speaks to her with all the fury repressed inside her, between the two of them there was a lot of love, but there was not a bit of communication, making it even more difficult to save their relationship, or rather to finally formalize it”.
Camille leaves there without even saying a word to him, she was just as upset as Andy, or even more upset, she didn't want to see him one more day, she was determined to leave his life for good, the two of them didn't understand each other at all.
Leaving the cell back to the delegation room, he realizes that Keyra is making a formal complaint about Andy's alleged assaults. When he approaches and sees her, he is impressed, despite the fact that he has already received medical attention, the traces of the The blows were evident, both of his eye sockets were purple, he had a big bump on his forehead and his nose was covered by a bandage, his mouth had traces of having been burst.
“Why would he hurt himself like that? What was going through his head? “
Camille thought in those moments.
Keyra catches a glimpse of her and stops what she's doing to talk to her.
“Wow, but who do we have here? To my husband's lover”
“Keyra I am not your husband's lover, for your information.”
“Have you seen how he has left me?” Keyra points to her face before Camille's cloudy eyes
“You did that to yourself, don't come up with ridiculous stories” Camille tries to avoid her and leave the place.
“How wrong you are! But if you continue with him, you will realize how crazy he is and how aggressive he is, of course if he gets out of jail one day”.
Camille looks at her, barely tightening her lips, she didn't know what to believe, she loved Andy with all her might, but seeing everything that was happening there was a bit of doubt inside her. She needed to confirm that everything she thought bad about Andy was just that, doubts.
