End to end
Andy was declining little by little after the loss of his daughter, the days were turning dark for him
and there was nothing that made his life happy enough, not even Camille''spany, he still hadn''t
returned to take over hispany , and he was letting everything around him go to the store, no
matter how much his mother and Camille tried to understand what was happening in him, his
attitude got worse day after day.
Meanwhile, for Raquel, the situation wasplicated by Samuel, Andy''s father was absolutely
willing to give him the final blow to destroy him, he was making a call to put the new CEO in the
company, he would not give Andy any more time to to take over, enough that everything he had had
to put up withtely regarding the time of thepany, to continue waiting for him to want to take
over, so in the next few days Andy Alf would officially stop being CEO of ANDY ALF AND
ASSOCIATES, this would cause his shares in thepany to go down, and of course the great
economic stability he enjoyed would also go down, although for him, that did not imply any problem.
This caused the arguments between Raquel and Samuel to be more frequent, she no longer knew
how to defend her son.
“Samuel, give him more time, I just went through a loss, he lost his daughter”
“A daughter that was not his Raquel” Samuel responds cruelly.
“He doesn''t carry your blood either and yet you adopted him as your son.”
“It''s different, Raquel, you and I have lived together, he totally failed with that woman, the Jones''s
daughter, Andy has been a total shame for myst name”.
“Don''t say that Samuel, it''s about your son, for God''s sake.”
“He is not my son, he is the son of a simple foreman of one of my farms, who left and abandoned
him”.
“You and I know what happened with that, you can no longer hold it against me for what you did for
Andy and me, you know what? I want to separate from you.”
“Do what you want! You and he can go wherever you want, I''m not really interested in you- Samuel
leaves her alone, she can only sit down and cry, although she knew that Samuel had never been
the ideal father for Andy, she regretted that now that she needed him, he turned his back like that”.
Raquel has no choice but to pack her bags and leave Samuel''s house. Despite being his wife, and
living under the regime of one of the biggest millionaires in the country, she had nothing, she was
never a woman who cared business or take care of money, although if she got divorced, she had
ess to half of her husband''s fortune, at that point she didn''t even have a ce of her own to go.
Andy for now was staying in Camille''s apartment, he hadn''t wanted to go to her mansion, going
back there would bring back the worst memories with Zoé, Camille thought that would devastate his
heart more. Raquel arrives with her suitcases also at Camille''s apartment to talk to Andy, he would
ce her in one of her properties.
“Hello children, sorry to arrive at this time, but I argued with Samuel and if possible I''m going to
separate, I have nowhere to go” Raquel arrives almost at midnight
Camille sleepily opens to him; she was already resting.
“Come in, Raquel, you are always wee, I am very sorry for what happened to you” she
continues and ces her things in the living room.
Andy leaves the room, he is unshaven, ubed, he hadn''t even taken a shower for a couple of
days and his appearance was terrible, they did their best to try to understand him, but he was
already hitting rock bottom.
“What are you doing here sote mom?”
“I argued with your father and I left the house, and I have nowhere to go”
“Howe you have nowhere to go, I have several properties in my name? You can go stay in one
of them” he responds insensitively.
“It''s just that I felt alone” Raquel lowers her head and her voice cracks.
“It''s okay Raquel, you''re wee here, you can stay as long as you want, just as you see my
apartment is not very spacious, the small room is avable, but it will be yours for as long as you
want” Camille looks at Andy badly, I''m just missing that one look to reproach him for his attitude.
Camille amodates Raque in the only room she had avable and leaves her to lie down, when
she returns to the room Andy had taken a beer from the freezer and had turned on the television in
the room, her image had nothing to do with the original Andy .
“Could you turn down the volume on the television? You know I have to go to work tomorrow” his
annoyance at how he was acting was more than evident
“Does my presence bother you?”
“It''s not about that Andy, it''s that I don''t know you, you are not this man that you are pretending to
be to camouge the pain you feel for the loss of Zoé, and the truth is that you are hitting rock
bottom, besides that you are hurting the people you love. we love you”.
“Are you insinuating that I''m very bad? What do you want to tell me?”
“Well, the truth is that you are acting in the worst way and that is totally overwhelming for me, I don''t
know what else to do for you”
“ Are you throwing me in the face that I''m staying at your house and what you do for me?” Andy is
angry now, and they start an argument, the screams came and went from their room, Raquel felt
guilty about that, so she packed her things, and she was determined to leave, but her surprise was
such when Going out to the living room, he sees Andy with his suitcases also ready, while he
reproached Camille for
“Is that the love you say you have? Is that your support? Of course, I''m not in my mansion with my
luxuries and I won''t be the CEO of thepany anymore, so I''m no longer good for you, right?”
“You are offending me Andy Alf! I have never been with you for what you have, it has always been
for what you are...”
“Did you know? I''m leaving and your mom, decide who you want to stay with.”
Andy storms out of Camille''s house, Raquel apologizes to her daughter-inw and goes after her
son, she is left crying, she no longer knew how to handle things with him, she felt annoyed by
everything. Meanwhile, he was leaving in thepany of his mother towards his mansion, although
resuming life in this ce made his heart fill with memories, he knew that with what happened that
day at Camille''s house, it was necessary to return to normal life. his life,
For that night, all that remained was to rest, but without imagining it, the next day things were going
to change.
It was already midnight, Andy went to sleep in the usual main room, this was and located next to
where Zoé slept, and thinking of her broke his heart, now without his daughter, his house felt soCòntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
lonely, although it was difficult for him to fall asleep, in a couple of hours he was rested.
The next day he gets up almost at nine in the morning, he sees how morning has already begun,
and his mother is in the kitchen talking on the phone, he sneaks in to try to hear who he is talking to,
as he manages to notice that the tears fall down her cheeks.
“No Samuel, you can''t do this to me, you can''t leave me on the street, I''ve been with you for more
than twenty years” No, you won''t. "No please," she sobbed at the humiliation of Andy''s father, when
he reaches the dimension of what her attitude was causing, including the damage to her mother,
decides that she has to take control of things again .
“Hang up the call mom” she looks at him, but continues the phone, Samuel''s fear of her had no
comparison.
“Hang up the phone right now! I order it” Andy shaves the phone and hangs up the call
“But what''s wrong Andy? he was talking to your father, now he''s going to be more angry with me”
“Listen to everything that scoundrel told you, you have nothing to beg from that man, I have enough
money for you, for me, for whoever it is, and to spare. Why do you beg that man for miseries?”
“Because I also have the right! So many years by his side enduring even infidelities, why must
depend on what you give me? No Andy, it won''t be like that”.
"But you shouldn''t let him humiliate you either, mom, I''m going back to thepany tomorrow, I''m
going to be who I''ve always been, and you''re going to leave that man on the street" Andy spoke
with real hatred. Anything that happened aroused negative feelings in him.
The next day, as a fulfillment of his word, his rm went off again at four in the morning, he knew
that going back to his daily routine was going to be difficult because he had lost his rhythm a long
time ago, but for him, that was something insignificant , showered, shaved, and exercised, these
caused a strong reaction after gaining weight.
Healthy breakfast and he left for the office, at eight o''clock in the morning he was there, everyone
when he saw him arrive greeted him happily, others weed him, but he didn''t even flinch, he just
nodded his head and smiled with the corner of his face. his lips, that was where many knew that the
regime of terror had returned to thepany.
At nine in the morning, he had a board of directors, his father had called to choose the new<ppany, but Andy was not going to let himself be removed from the position, for which he had
worked non-stop for thest five years.
Although his office was still in the same state as always, the position that he had managed all the
time was going to be discussed that morning, he browsed a bit of the current information of the
company, and his brain began to work immediately, he already had nned with that he was going
to face the ws of his father, but what he was, he was not going to let the other one be taken
away, he was Andy Alf, and there was nothing impossible for him, he had his moment of darkness,
but he was willing to return to shine.
