Tomas had been very busy during this period of time, with the company’s affairs and Elisa’s troubles, but he had not forgotten to think about how to get his brother to desist from his plan to go to Salamonsa, since his mother had told him not to go to Salamonsa on her deathbed, so it must be dangerous and he did not want his brother to go to a place so far away. He did not expect to find that all the documents that Diego had extended to him were agreements of transfer to Tomas of his brother’s real estate, the shares of the company, the high positions and other assets.
Carlos leans back against the backrest, folds his long legs and looks at Tomas with a cold expression.
Diego said.
-Mr. Tomas, calm down, the signing of these documents will not have immediate effect, it is only if, indeed, Mr. Carlos does not return.
Tomas sniffed even less, his chest heaving, as he rounded the table to stand in front of Carlos, leaning on the desk with one hand and looking at him with enthusiasm.
-Brother, what’s going on, is it because your sister-in-law is from Salamonsa and you’re worried that Grandfather’s prejudice against Salamonsa will prevent you from getting married? I won’t tell grandfather, no one will know if we don’t. Besides, aren’t you already planning to marry your sister-in-law? Or do you want to go to Salamonsa to learn about your sister-in-law’s origins? That doesn’t matter, let’s live our life together as a family…..
Tomas was a bit incoherent, trying to understand why his older brother wanted to go to Salamonsa, but more than that, he wanted to convince his older brother not to go to Salamonsa.
Seeing his older brother’s cold expression, Tomas paused, remembering with a jolt the information his grandfather had researched about the women of Salamonsa who were not to die well, and then remembering his own mother….
Carlos nodded his head, brother to brother, and knew that Tomas had thought of something.
-Tomas, Micaela carries that same terrible ‘pact’ inside her, just like our mother. The ‘contract’ prescribes at fifteen years, and now, with so few days left, I must take her away to break it, and if, indeed, it cannot be broken, I will not return.
Of course he would do everything in his power to protect his girl, but he had seen with his own eyes the poisoning of his mother, and the people he had investigated had shown him that life was not up to that abominable “contract” and if returning to Salamonsa did not change the possibility of poisoning, then he had to prepare for the worst, and the worst was where Micaela was. The worst he could do was to be where Micaela was…..
Tomas tries to digest what Carlos has said, that the mother did die fifteen years after leaving Salamonsa….
Carlos’ deep eyes looked at Tomas and continued.
-The wedding will take place as planned, after the wedding, Micaela and I will leave, I will talk to Victor to take Micaela to our honeymoon, you don’t tell her the truth, we will come back when things are done, if not, then you take my share and live well.
He had already prepared himself for the best and the worst, and if it turned out to be the worst, then what to tell Victor later would be arbitrary….
Tomas’ chest instantly heaved with panic, his older brother’s words contained too big a message, too much, and he was, well, a little confused….
Carlos stood up, looked at the face that looked like his own and calmed down.
-Don’t think badly of it, I just had to think ahead of everything I should be worried about.
Diego’s heart was heavy too, he knew so little about Salamonsa, and Miss Micaela only had a year left, and going to Salamonsa with Moses’ mother would have made things easier, but the gentleman said that Moses’ mother, who could not be trusted at all….
As he left the Grupo Aguayo building, Tomas looked up at the blue sky and felt that everything was so unreal, he thought he was already burnt out enough with his current worries that it was not even worth mentioning them when it was about his older brother….
How much does he love Micaela, so much that he’s willing to die with her?
His mother’s last words were to keep him from returning to Salamonsa and he didn’t think about it at all, only about Micaela….
Why did the mother prevent the older brother from returning?
How many unknown dangers can there be when you go to Salamonsa?
No, he couldn’t accept it, even if the chances of martyrdom were unlikely, he still couldn’t accept it!
Is there any way to stop Big Brother?
Tell Grandpa?
Have someone lock Big Brother up?
And then watch Micaela die of poisoning?
No, this, he can’t even do….
Sitting in the car, Tomas hits the steering wheel with his fist, what to do?
The next day, Eric again took his small team and embarked on the tour.
Tomas is still being stalked by Elisa, but damn, he’s not really going to die, and Tomas is relieved that his love for Bianca is immutable, and the only way to make Elisa see that he will not be able to choose her in this life is to take the initiative and give up….
The World Modeling Contest tour continues to gain momentum as Micaela travels from country to country, and after half a month, she takes a short break to return to Teladia for two days to rest and adjust for her final tour, which ends with the much-anticipated awards ceremony…. …
At this moment, Micaela is lying on her big white bed, sleeping soundly.
She had a dream that Carlos was filled with shock and then joy when his plan came true….
Carlos has dressed up, even packed for the trip back, and returned to his room to see the girl, who really showed no signs of being about to wake up….
A smirk of smugness and pride lifts the corners of the man’s lips….
Last night exhausted her…
I can’t help it, the girl is too charming, and due to her busy schedule lately, she doesn’t want to give too many laps, and last night because she knew she could finally rest, she let loose to make up for everything she didn’t satisfy before…
Carlos raised his eyebrows and sat next to her, his deep eyes looked at her with love, his big hands gently tousled her long hair, he really wanted to enter her dream and see what kind of beautiful dream she had that could make her smile so charming….
Micaela woke up and opened her sleepy eyes to see Carlos in front of her, and thinking she was still dreaming, she unconsciously murmured.
-Carlos, would you like that?
The sound was so soft that Carlos didn’t really hear it.
-Hmm? Micaela what did you say?
Micaela sobered instantly, alarms sounded in her head, she didn’t say anything, did she?
Quick to play dumb.
-What?
Carlos’s smile slipped and he rubbed her head, maybe she had fallen asleep and was talking in her sleep, how strange it was.
He extended his hand to help her up.
-Nothing, it’s time for the girl to get up.
Micaela exhaled a quiet sigh of relief and stretched, noticing that she had all the clothes she needed to change, laid out within reach of the bed, with the lacy inner beauty still on top, and couldn’t help but blush.
Carlos, naturally, noticed the girl’s movement, a light shone in his eyes and his hand went up, his voice faded a few notes.
-Come here, I’ll help you change…..
Micaela sternly refused, and then ineffectively refused, the girl that two or two of strength, the man never put in the eye, inside and out, put on, dressed in a fire, but still happy in it ….
Micaela came out with a red face and noticed that everyone had their bags packed for her to leave for Teladia….
As the group was happily preparing to return to Teladia, one person’s heart was in their throat for a moment, and the tension they had been feeling for half a month came to a head: Katarina.
The hospital called, the chromosome screening report came in, and Katarina rushed to the hospital.
At that moment, her heart was pounding like thunder as she watched the doctor pull a test out of a stack of tests and hand her the report with a smile.
-Miss Katarina, the chromosomal screening is normal, you don’t need to worry, the baby is very healthy.
Katarina took the test results with trembling hands, felt a wave of relief, sighed heavily and got so excited that her eyes turned red with emotion and she had to tell mom and Antonio immediately….
Wait!
Katarina looks at the doctor.
-Doctor, you don’t have to tell my husband the results of the test, I’ll tell him myself!
Antonio had been in contact with the doctor and knew that the results of this chromosomal test were especially important, as this test showed that the child was healthy, so the chances that the child was not deformed and free of all kinds of strange diseases were reduced by more than half, and he wanted to tell Antonio in person….
Naturally, the doctor smiles and agrees.
He had sent his wife half a month in advance to make an appointment before she gave birth. He came in anxiously asking about the tests….
Katarina immediately went home and told her mother the good news. Marisa was so excited that she immediately went to burn incense again, thanking her ancestors for their blessings. Katarina pushed away the negative emotions that used to torment her and thought about going to her room to call Antonio.
After returning ten days ago, he began to call her several times a day, and when she heard his voice, although he did not tell her anything special, she felt overflowed with joy and calmed down….
During the first month, she lived a depressing life, thinking about ending this wrong relationship with distance, but the distance made her miss him more and more, and the more she couldn’t control her love for him….
-Katarina, you went upstairs to call Antonio, didn’t you?
Marisa asked, leaning back.
This was Katarina’s usual way of misleading her mother, thinking that the young couple was going to say sweet things and she, naturally, didn’t suspect anything.
But this time, it’s true, Katarina smiles and nods, the phone in her hand dialed….
-Well, I’ll go upstairs and call him and tell him…..
Marisa interrupted, full of joy, and said.
-Katarina, why don’t you go back and talk to him?
Katarina froze, her heart suddenly beating a little faster, the seeds of anticipation sprouting in her heart to see him happy if she talked to him in person…..
Katarina looks at her mother and unconsciously repeats.
-Now I’m going back to Teladia?
Before Marisa could utter a sound, at some point the phone rang and Antonio’s excited voice came through the line.
-Katarina, what did you say? You’re back, aren’t you?
