-Antonio…
Fabiana froze.
What he just did, she must have clearly seen it….
Katarina is in shock, his hand unconsciously brushes her lower back, luckily, luckily he didn’t hit her….
Antonio also broke out in cold sweats from what he had just seen, but luckily he was quick enough to pick Katarina up….
He looked at Fabiana with a spark of anger in his eyes, forced down his emotions and looked at the person in his arms with concern.
-Katarina, are you okay?
It was then that Katarina tried to pull out of Antonio’s embrace, only to hear Fabiana’s excited words.
-Antonio, mom admits that it was wrong for her to use you, now we can’t let the mistake continue, besides, this woman doesn’t love you anymore, she is with you only to take revenge on mom….
A surge of panic rose in Katarina’s heart, she didn’t believe it, and he had only done it to irritate her….
Antonio’s icy voice echoed in her ears.
-No, it was always you who used me as an instrument of revenge.
Katarina’s mind stirred, inexplicably calm.
Fabiana shakes her head anxiously.
It had come to this, and Antonio had shown her by his actions that he was determined to separate himself from the Franco family, and she felt the panic of not wanting to give up her son, who was so good, to Marisa and her daughter, and she had to lower her face and beg for peace:
-No, Antonio, I admit I was wrong, but Mom really loves you, and Mom knows you were only confused for a moment…..
Antonio’s mouth lifted in a cold smile, his eyes settled on the girl in front of him, he slowly released her and took her hand in one, his voice softened a few degrees.
-I don’t want to threaten you with my life or my death, but, mom, I don’t know how I’m going to live without Katarina, I’m not confused, I’ve seen myself fall into it with clarity and understanding, and Katarina is the only thing I want, so I won’t let go of her unless I die.
Katarina’s heart was beating wildly involuntarily, her chest was clogged with emotions too complex for words, and she looked down at Antonio’s hand, her large hand held his tightly….
Antonio nodded without further ado and led Katarina towards the door, where Fabiana stopped him with outstretched arms.
-Antonio, you can’t be obsessed! There are many women in the world, you won’t end up well with her, and not having a healthy child will separate the Carballo family from their children!
The words stabbed into Katarina’s heart and left her breathless with pain….
The air pressure in Antonio’s body was lower than ever because of these words.
Katarina couldn’t help but sketch another mocking smile as she looked at Fabiana and spoke.
-You have a hard time remembering that the Carballo family broke up with a son, I can get Antonio to go out and have a child again with an outside woman without you even bothering.
Antonio’s heart squeezed tightly…..
-You! Katarina, you’re shameless! You married your own brother and you’re proud of it? You are…
-That’s enough! -Trying to say another word?
Antonio bellowed…
Staring into his son’s bloodthirsty eyes, Fabiana’s heart sank hard and she swallowed the word hard.
Katarina’s face was white and trembling, but her mouth was still full of words.
-We love it, we love this passionate relationship, thank you for making it possible.
Fabiana was so angry that her chest hurt, she despised her son, she didn’t dare to say a word….
Antonio knows that Katarina speaks against his heart, he doesn’t know how much such relationships bother him…..
Looking at Fabiana’s breathless expression, who could not wait to commit suicide, Katarina’s heart soared with pleasure….
That’s a relief, but for the child’s safety, from now on, don’t go near her again….
Outside, on the bustling lawn, Micaela and Alba were relieved to see Antonio leave with Katarina, unharmed.
The wedding ceremony ended, followed by a running banquet.
Micaela and Alba gathered around them, and Antonio squeezed her hand in his palm before reluctantly releasing it and consciously stepping away to give them space.
Katarina, your mother-in-law didn’t bully you, did she?
Alba asked anxiously.
Katarina reacted and looked at them.
-Did you send Antonio here?
Micaela watched Katarina anxiously and put her hand on her arm.
-Well, did he give you a hard time?
Katarina was touched, thanks to her prudence, otherwise she really didn’t know what the consequences would be?
-I’m fine, thank you.
The cell phone in Alba’s purse rings, and when she pulls it out, it’s Eric.
After picking it up and just answering a couple of questions, Alba hangs up the phone and looks at Micaela.
-Micaela, it’s time to go, Eric is in a hurry.
The girls are going to the finals in J. They’ll be gone for more than half a month.
Katarina is very sad to see them go, but she is in the early stages of pregnancy and is in no condition to run around, nor does she feel comfortable leaving her mother at home….
Bianca also approached and several women exchanged greetings and goodbyes, wishing Micaela continued success.
Not far away, Carlos and Tomas are in the drinking area.
-Brother, you didn’t want to go to Salamonsa to procure gems at all, did you?
Tomas looked at Carlos with a few moments of urgency in his tone.
Last time, when his older brother had told him he wanted to go to Salamonsa to buy gems for the Micalos Jewelry Company, he hadn’t believed him much, but he had never lied to him about anything, so he didn’t think anything of it.
Then, the more he thought about it, the more he realized that it wasn’t right, although Salamonsa was famous for its gems, but Salamonsa was too far away, not to mention that there was no need for him to go there personally to procure them, and besides, Salamonsa was a much more sensible place, his mother was from there, and his older brother’s biological father was probably there too….
I’ve been back in Salamentro for a while now, and I’ve been too busy to call my older brother several times, but he always manages to keep the conversation going without moving. Today I had to accompany Micaela to the game again before she came again, and when I caught a break I had to ask my older brother about it.
Carlos has his hands in his trouser pockets and his eyes deep set on Tomas, who, true to his style, is also extraordinarily perceptive.
Seeing that Carlos said nothing, Tomas grew impatient for a few more moments, knowing he had guessed right.
-Brother, what exactly are you going to Salamonsa for?
Knowing his older brother, he didn’t care about the supposed biological father, he always understood exactly what he wanted, and there must be another reason for him to go to Salamonsa?
Carlos did not lose sight of the girl’s movements, and now that he saw her approaching him, he lowered his voice and said.
-Tomas, I am not going to change my decision. As for the reasons, I will tell you when the time comes to talk to you.
Tomas, somewhat anxious and vaguely troubled, watched his older brother walk towards Micaela and unconsciously asked.
Is it because of your sister-in-law?
Carlos’ movements stopped slightly….
Then, more information flooded Tomas’ mind. When his older brother met Micaela, he asked himself to check her out, but only found out that she was from Z City, and no other clues about her origins were found.
Tomas took a cold breath, could it be that Micaela was also from Salamonsa?
