Lauren had fulfilled her mission, she arrived directly at Andy's office, who was waiting for her with crazy anxiety, that day was decisive for his company, if Brett had signed, he would free ALF from Parker's clutches, and he could get ahead with her company, when he sees her go through the door, his heart races, but she comes smiling and stunning, that face told him that the blonde had made it.
 “Shall I sign?” Andy asks with a smile on his face.
“Yes, friend, he fell like some fruit from his tree, he fell round, now the very idiot does not even imagine what awaits him”.
“Thank you very much, Lauren, without you I don't know what I would have done” he approaches and hugs her.
“The same thing I would have done without you the day you helped us, I love you so much Andy, now I must return to my city, I must return to my husband and my children”.
“Damn Lauren, are you married and have children?” Andy is surprised, because the idea that she was engaged never crossed her mind, her selfishness was so much to achieve her objectives that she had not even asked her about her sentimental life.
“Ha ha ha of course, what did you think? That this hottie of a woman was just a horny woman who provoked men, she smoked and drank and consumed to exhaustion” she takes out a photograph that she carried in her purse, she was with two little ones and a handsome man, she was dressed differently and with soft makeup , was a lady of the home.
“I never imagined, I'm an idiot, your money is already in your account, thank you very much for everything”.
"Thank you for giving me this escape, even though it was risky I enjoyed it, now I have to go back or else I'll regret it and go and look for Brett's jerk" she smiles ironically, she really had feelings for him, but what did it matter, that Yes, it was an impossible love.
They both say goodbye, in a couple of hours Lauren was already on a plane back to her city, erasing any passage through Andy and Brett's offices.
That weekend was rather calm, Víctor was in charge of investigating Parker and of course he had found irregularities, so on Monday morning he would start the investigation to find out what was happening in Parker, meanwhile Raquel He was with his son, that weekend they had shared together.
“Andy son, what will you do tomorrow Monday?”
“Go to the office as always mom, we are at a crucial point, important things have happened, I think tomorrow will be an important day, or maybe not, it all depends. Why?”
“I have to do a routine exam, an ultrasound on my belly, you know checking that there isn't something strange, so I wanted to know if you could come with me, it's in the morning”.
“Of course, mom, I don't leave you alone in this, what time is it?”
“t 10 in the morning, in the private hospital of the center, where the best specialists”
“You'll see mom that everything will be fine”.
Meanwhile at Brett's mansion
"What time did you make the appointment for the ultrasound tomorrow?" Camille asks Brett.
“At 9:30”
“And where is it? You have not told me.”
 “In the private hospital downtown, where the best specialists” Brett had made an appointment in the same place where Andy's mother would be treated, without thinking about it that day he had also scheduled an appointment with destiny.
Monday arrived and both families were ready to go to the doctor, obviously Camille was with Brett, and Andy was with his mother.
Brett and Camille were already waiting their turn for the appointment, they had arrived about twenty minutes early, so they would have to wait, but something happens that would leave Brett on edge. One call would change everything.
“Hello Brett with Gisella, where are you that you haven't arrived at the fucking office?” the voice of her sister was quite upset, but she was nervous at the same time
“I'm with Camille for a checkup on her pregnancy. Then what happened? Why are you talking to me like that?”
“There are a lot of police searching each one of the offices, especially yours and mine, they brought an order, and it seems that they are looking for something specific, do you know why this is happening? Tell me the truth Brett.
“No Gisella, I have no idea what's going on, but let me go there now” Brett hangs up the call and curses to himself, he knew he was lying to his sister, it seemed that they had discovered it and needed to solve it, Although it was not easy to verify the asset laundering, he needed to be present to see the seriousness of the matter.
“we're leaving Camille- Brett takes her arm tightly.”
“Not because? The doctor is about to call me, leave me alone”.
“We have to go, then we'll come to this fucking doctor, now we're leaving” on the loudspeaker they begin to call Camille to the ultrasound room.
“No, I won't go anywhere with you, I want to see my baby, come on they are calling me.”
“I can't, I have to go, you know what, I'm going to leave you here, but right now he ordered your little sister to be tied up, if you don't come home in an hour, I'll kill her, do you understand?” Camille swallows saliva and nods, she had no choice but to obey, also in her state she was not going to leave and even less without Carolain.
Brett leaves for his company and she enters the office, she was happy to be alone, although she had to return, those few minutes were precious to her, they do the ultrasound and her daughter is in perfect condition, they confirm that in 8 weeks she will be giving birth and that she must continue taking care of herself, Camille is happy to have listened to her little girl's heart and to have seen her face, she was so beautiful, she felt so much pain for the father she had, but what mattered most was that she was born healthy and save.
Andy and Raquel arrive at the site, they were waiting to be called for a consultation, Camille is leaving the office with the images of her ultrasound, she was happy, while Raquel passes by her and does not even realize that it is her, but Andy who She was right in front watching her mother enter the office, she stared at her, her heart froze, she felt an emptiness settle in her stomach and her eyes watered completely, despite being pregnant by another man, she looked sweet and beautiful, her face was still angelic and being pregnant looked even better.
“Camille, God how are you?” Andy greets her, and she hadn't even realized that it was him, she can only put her hand on her belly and squeeze her mouth, her cheeks blush, and she feels as she would like the earth to swallow her.
“Andy, what are you doing here? I didn't expect to see you” she doesn't know what to answer, however, she gives him a small smile.
“I came to accompany my mom, she has an exam, you look beautiful, I congratulate you on your new baby”.
“Thank you” she lowers her head and feels how melancholy invades her, her love was him, not Brett, she wanted to be with him, share her motherhood with Andy and for him to be the father of her daughter, but what did it matter, now He had lost it, he only had to resign himself to the pain.
“Want a coffee? Here in the hospital, there is a cafeteria, I think we can talk for a few minutes” she thinks about it for a moment, she knew she had to return quickly to the mansion, but from there to there it was only 15 minutes, so she had 15 minutes free.
“Yes, I do, but I can't be late”.
They both go out to the cafeteria in an uncomfortable silence, Andy takes two coffees from the machine and gives one to her, Camille doesn't stop feeling embarrassed.
“Camille, why? I always wanted to know why you told me that in Egypt and when you got here you changed your mind”.
Camille completely breaks down, and starts crying, couldn't she bear to see him and waste the few minutes she had?
“It's simple, don't you see me? That imbecile has forced me to be by his side, he has me blackmailed, kidnapped, and threatened to kill my daughter, she is his, we conceived her in one of his abuses, but I don't love him Andy, I have never loved him, but when my daughter is born, I will seek to escape with her and with Carolain”
Andy can't even digest what she's telling him, and it feels like a knife pierces his chest.
“No, I'm going to help you, I promise I will, Camille, I still love you”.
“no Andy, let me do things, I love you too, but I have a daughter and she and my little sister are the most important thing now, I wouldn't leave them for you or anyone else”
“I would never ask you for something like that, I could take care of all 3 of them with all the love in the world, let me help you.”
“But how Andy? That guy is a maniac, I must go now or kill Carolain”
“I don't know Camille, let me think about it, the police must be in their office, I'll look for help and I'll go to the mansion for you, come back so that nothing happens to Carolain, you take me by surprise, but keep in mind that I will look for you and save them from that animal. Please, you must be ready, I will do it as soon as possible, today if I can”.
She nods, everything had been so fast, she gets up from the table where she was drinking her coffee and leaves the hospital in terror to return to the mansion, Andy couldn't get over the surprise he had just had, his hands trembled, he had to think how help her without Brett hurting them, now they were in his office rummaging through every last file and that would possibly make him want to run away and take Camille with him, now that he had had those few minutes with her he knew he had to save them, not he cared that she was pregnant by someone else, man, he loved her above all things and he wasn't going to let her continue to be unhappy.
Deep down, his soul had returned to his body and he had more reasons to sink Brett, he went looking for his mother, he had to think right now what he could do to get Camille and her sister out of that house, his life now depended on what he did for them.
