Javier, leaning on the floor with one elbow and holding a sharp knife with the other, his palm cut and blood dripping down his shirt along the blade, froze at that moment as he looked at the name on the screen….
Natalia, really, you’re going to commit to Carlos for him?
The hand holding the knife slowly loosened, and that’s when I felt the pain in the palm of my hand, a cone of pain….
Carlos looked at the technicians who were not far away, they had long since traced Natalia’s cell phone number to locate her, indeed, if she had pulled out her card and they couldn’t reach her, this would be the phone to dial so they could find her right away!
Carlos saw that the technical department was getting organized and getting down to work, he looked at the camera again, picked up the phone and put it on speakerphone without saying a word.
-Come with the antidote, you have half an hour.
Natalia’s voice sounded unstable.
-Carlos, you’ve really made a mistake, I love you, not Javier, and it’s no use threatening me with him….
A glint of melancholy in Javier’s eyes….
Carlos growled coldly and with a single force, the knife in his hand plunged into Javier’s stomach….
Javier’s choked grunt of pain and Natalia’s scream into the phone sounded at the same time.
-Carlos, stop it! Stop it! I can go over there, with the antidote, but I want you to take Javier to the hospital immediately, and evacuate everyone and leave you there alone, I’m coming!
Carlos unceremoniously pulled out the knife with one more push and got up, and Javier immediately curled up shrimp-shaped, his hand covering his bleeding stomach…..
-Carlos, Carlos you’re crazy!
shouted Natalia.
-Defeated by you. The speed with which you approached me determined whether I would bleed to death or not.
Then she hung up the phone.
Raul gave the address of the place on his cell phone, then turned off the video, put it away and joined Ernesto in assisting Javier.
Carlos regained some sanity.
The moment Carlos learned that Micaela had been poisoned, the demon continued to awaken and reached its peak when he punched Javier. Sanity gradually took hold of….
Looking at Javier in pain, Carlos’ fists clenched.
-I’m sorry, Javier, for having suffered, and I’ll make it up to you double for what you’ve done today.
Javier gasped, in fact he knew Carlos had stabbed with restrained force, the knife was not deep….
-Mr. Aguayo, I, I don’t want compensation, will you promise me one thing?
Carlos frowned slightly, vaguely aware of what he was trying to say?
Javier said, holding back the pain.
-Grupo Nunez no longer exists, Nubcancion no longer exists, Natalia is close to nothing and has paid the price, can you please not kill her?
Ernesto sighed.
-You’ve been stabbed by that vicious woman and you’re begging for her? Natalia may think very highly of you, but she is still planning this for the purpose of getting Carlos?
Javier didn’t say anything, he just looked at Carlos.
It may be ridiculous, but it was Carlos’ words that woke him up and he was ready to give Carlos a hostage. In fact, unconsciously, what he most wanted to test was whether he had any weight in Natalia’s heart….
It turned out that his own feelings for Natalia had unknowingly changed, but he was reluctant to admit it….
He had always been smart and calm, and he certainly understood Ernesto’s words. Yes, Natalia valued herself, but what she wanted was not him, Javier, but Carlos.
Carlos looked at Javier, his eyes full of sincere pleading….
There was a long silence and Carlos did not answer, gesturing Ernesto to take him to the hospital.
He couldn’t wait to kill Natalia and die with a thousand slashes!
But Javier pleaded with him…
The technical department came running.
-Mr. Aguayo, monitoring Natalia’s position, she is indeed on her way here, ten minutes to go.
Carlos nodded and ordered.
-Everyone stand down.
Ernesto, who had put Javier in the car, returned and, seeing that all the bodyguards who had been ambushed nearby had gotten up and left, leaving no one behind, he anxiously grabbed Carlos’ arm.
-Carlos, are you really going to listen to her and be the only one here? That woman can hypnotize and she’s got Jasmine, she’s improved her skills! In case you can’t take it, won’t you fall into her trap?
Carlos pulled his hand away and smoothed his messy clothes, his voice neither rising nor falling.
-I’ll show him that I’m not someone he can shake.
Don’t even think that a simple hypnosis can shake him!
Ernesto is still extraordinarily upset.
-Don’t be afraid, just in case, look at Micaela, hypnotized by Jasmin, forgetting everything about your first encounter, and what happened before you were 8 years old, not that you can’t remember it to this day, that’s evil, it’s no longer hypnosis in our understanding…..
Carlos raised his hand to check the time, Natalia was almost there, interrupting Ernesto’s words.
-Go back to the hospital and wait for my call.
Carlos’ firmness was unmistakable and non-negotiable. Ernesto’s fists clenched, knowing that whatever Carlos had decided, there were no nine bulls that could turn him back and he had to surrender.
-Be careful then, don’t fall into his path, your wife is still waiting for you in the hospital bed.
Carlos’ heart clenched and he nodded.
Ernesto went out and Carlos sat in the chair where the man from the technical department had just sat and waited for Natalia to arrive.
Soon after Natalia’s red Maserati arrived and parked behind Carlos’ black Maybach.
Natalia pushed open the car door and got out, her long hair pulled back, revealing her snow-white neck, wearing a dress as red as the car, a pair of red heels, her whole body red hot, walking confidently towards Carlos, swaying with every step.
The dress was fitted and cut to perfection, it outlined her figure to perfection, V-neckline, sleeveless, and around her neck she wore the necklace Carlos had seen before, no, this time the pendant was much bigger, and you could even clearly see the yellowish liquid inside, swaying slightly as she walked….
Natalia’s face is as confident and smiling as ever, with no trace of the awkwardness of the Nunez Group’s collapse and Nubcancion’s change of ownership, as if Javier had just been injured and she hadn’t panicked over the phone.
He was sitting in an office chair, white shirt, black pants, back leaning against the backrest, legs bent, radiating an aura of cool intimidation, noble and inviolable, this was a dilapidated warehouse, the light was dim, but even in this environment, he was still like an emperor, full of aura, the deep-set eyes flashed with the desire to kill her. But it still made her heart flutter.
What a touching man, there couldn’t be a more perfect man in the world, and looking at his untied tie, his collarbone exposed by unbuttoned shirts from the action of the fight he had just had, the seductive smile on Natalia’s lips grew even brighter, with a hint of seduction.
-Carlos, it’s been a long time.
Natalia waved and took her place at this end of the table, and the air, all at once, was filled with a rich aroma that made Carlos frown slightly.
-Give me the antidote.
Carlos gets straight to the point.
Without further ado, Natalia opened her purse and took out a packet of white granulated pills.
-Dilute and dissolve in saline solution and inject….
-Take one first.
Carlos looked at her and said coldly.
Natalia raises an eyebrow and nods.
-And yes, it would be bad if it was poison again.
He opened the bag, took a capsule and put it in his mouth.
-Ugh, it really doesn’t taste good…..
Carlos got up and took the bag.
Natalia, however, raised her hand and looked at Carlos.
-Carlos, get someone to take care of Javier first.
Carlos called Ernesto directly and explained that he would arrange for someone to operate on Javier.
Hanging up the phone, he walked around the table and took the Ziploc bag from her hand, but Natalia violently grabbed Carlos’ wrist and held it tightly, her hand seemed to be coated beforehand with something, extra hot, and at the swollen smell, Carlos’ consciousness suddenly went into a trance….
Natalia’s voice came out slowly, very soft and gentle.
-Carlos, it smells good, doesn’t it? Your hands are warm, aren’t they? You need to relax, you are so tired, so much has happened in the last two days, you are getting overwhelmed….
With a single force, Natalia pushed him back to the stool.
-All right, come on, close your eyes, rest well, what is coming to you is a totally new world, free of worries, very relaxing, and when you open your eyes, there in front of you is the woman you love the most…
Carlos slowly closes his eyes…
-Relax, the world is beautiful, sun and white clouds, dripping water, the air is full of sweet scents that make you feel more comfortable, and you long to enjoy this beautiful world with the person you love the most and with you, right?
Carlos nods softly.
Natalia’s mouth lifted in a smirk, her hand always holding his wrist, and half a moment later, she spoke softly.
-Okay Carlos, open your eyes….
