Adriana thought about the past times, pausing for a few seconds before her tone became more fierce:
-I used to be happy with my parents, even though I lived in poverty. But suddenly we moved into this big, beautiful house, and there was an aunt, and a cousin like you. Why did you have everything, while I had nothing!
-You’ve got your memory back, so you must have remembered all the tricks I played on you when I first came to this house, right? What I hate most is when my stratagems to fool you are dismantled on the spot. I had that clean, piercing look, and you keep calling me sister with enthusiasm, but your every sisterly word made me sick to my stomach!
The things Adriana said, Micaela knew them all.
She had suffered a lot as a child, falling in mud puddles, throwing herself down stairs, breaking her beloved toys, etc. But at the time, she had chosen to believe that Adriana was unintentional, not realizing that naivety then had actually become the source of Adriana’s jealousy and hatred.
Micaela let out a cold laugh.
-Now I’m also disgusted to call you “sister” at that moment.
The more she spoke, the more Adriana became agitated:
-I just want to torture you! I want to take everything that belongs to you! I’m going to destroy your pride!
-Adriana!
Sergio shouted angrily, feeling sad and sorry for his only daughter who was blinded by jealousy.
Micaela was also enraged and replied:
-How much help my father gave you! Adriana, don’t you enjoy the good life my father provided for you? Without us, would you be where you are today? But you take this favor as revenge! That is abominable!
These words hit Sergio straight in the heart and he shed tears….
-Micaela, it’s all my fault. I didn’t educate my daughter well, and I’m also ashamed of your father, who was kind enough to help our family. I’m sorry, we will move now.
Micaela suddenly remembered something and looked at Sergio, asking with some anxiety:
-Uncle, why did our family move here from Zyalen Province?
Sergio wiped the tears from his face, and shook his head.
-I’m sorry, Micaela, I really don’t know. All I know is that your mothers were very capable. After asking my permission to set up the home registry in my house, they bought this house, and picked us up…..
-I guess you’re the escapees from Zyalen Province! Micaela, you won’t end well!
Adriana interrupted him and helped Marta up.
Micaela ignored her and frowned slightly.
“Sergio must know.”
Even though she had regained her memory, she still didn’t know why she had come from Provincia Zyalen to Anlandana, but he didn’t suspect anything. That was proof enough that he knew full well she couldn’t find out, even if she had remembered from the past.
Adriana cast a white glance at Micaela and said:
-Bitch, I won’t give you what you want! I’m tired of this house, and I’m going to buy something ten times bigger. Mom, get up!
Martha knew the outcome was decided, but she kept fighting:
-I’ve bought everything in this house since then, I’m taking it! There are so many things that we can’t move everything in a moment, you must give us a few more days!
She had to look for something of value to take it with her!
Micaela knew what Marta had in mind and nodded:
-You can take all your things except the books my father left in the study.
-I don’t care about broken books!
-Those things that have been used by you, I don’t care about them either! -Micaela said.
Marta was speechless.
Micaela looked at the time. It would soon be two hours, and she had to hurry back to Carlos’ side.
-You have three days to move in. You don’t have to give me the keys, I’ll change all the locks by then.
After saying this, Micaela took the certificate of ownership in her hand and looked around the house again before settling her gaze on Sergio.
He had mixed feelings, with a smile on his face and a kind voice:
-Micaela, you’re right, these were originally yours. Your father left you the books, read more when you have time.
Marta said angrily:
-Sergio, you’re a coward!
Not wanting to listen to this here any longer, Micaela motioned Raul to leave.
The two left the villa.
Sitting in the car, Micaela looked at the title deed in her hand, sighed in relief, clasped it to her chest.
“Dad, Mom, I got our house back.”
When she returned to Carlos’ office, Micaela looked at the time again, and it was still ten minutes to two hours.
“Carlos didn’t call me, so he probably didn’t realize I’d snuck out.”
When she got off the elevator, she saw that Diego wasn’t in the office, so she was even more certain that they were in a meeting and hadn’t returned yet.
So she reassured herself by pushing open the office door….
-Hello, Miss Noboa.
Diego stood by the door, a folder in his hand and waved with a smile, as if preparing to leave.
Micaela was surprised and looked inside to find Carlos sitting at his desk, looking at her….
Micaela felt a little guilty.
Diego came out, giving her a meaningful smile and closed the door.
-Well… Carlos, have you finished the meeting?
Micaela stood in front of the desk, not daring to look him in the eye.
Carlos said nothing, looking at the little girl and repressing the urge to kiss her hard.
He was worried that the little one was bored alone in the office, so he ended the meeting early, and when he returned to the office, he saw that she was not there….
“Why didn’t she tell me where she was going?”
He checked the location on the phone and was relieved to see that she was already back. Looking at the track again, it was immediately clear what he intended.
The little girl had gone to Familia Elvira. She had slipped away as soon as he went to the meeting.
Initially, he wanted to take the time to accompany her, but he hadn’t expected her to be in such a hurry.
Seeing what she was holding, the corner of Carlos’ mouth lifted a little.
It looked like the little girl had succeeded.
Micaela noticed him looking at the certificate of ownership in her hand and hurried to hand it to him cheerfully, saying:
-Carlos, the villa is now not the property of Familia Elvira, but mine.
