Micaela’s heart squeezed when she heard Carlos’ name, she already had a vague idea of what Natalia was going to do….
Natalia, the one on TV, takes a sip from her glass of water, puts it down and looks at Micaela.
Do I need to tell you what’s going on, the Carballo family is almost ready, Olivia’s game starts in half an hour, Elisa can’t die despite falling from the 13th floor with an air bed prepared underneath, but, without me to dehypnotize her, she will keep bothering Tomas and your best friend non-stop. Alba, those over there are my men, and I can have them all killed on my command…..
Micaela kept trembling, her eyes wild with intense hatred, desperately trying to calm down and wait for me to continue.
Natalia said on the television, calmly and nonchalantly.
-If you agree to my demands, I can assure you that the matter of the Carballo family, will be resolved satisfactorily, not only will the Carballo Group not go bankrupt, but all of Katarina’s concerns will be addressed, I will de-hypnotize Elisa, Olivia will be able to continue participating in the contest, and…. Ernesto will naturally not be killed, and everything, everything will go in a good direction.
Micaela had a hand on her chest, was everything going in the right direction?
Natalia, seeing in her the slightest hint of relief, continued.
-All your friends’ misfortunes are your fault, I planned this since I was playing pretend with Leonardo, because Micaela you stole the man I had in my sights, you stole all of Carlos’ attention, Carlos and I are the ones who should be made for each other!
Natalia looked towards her, the smile disappearing from her eyes, and declared her purpose.
-And my request is simple, when Carlos comes later, tell him yourself that you are breaking up with him and that you are not marrying him?
-You are dreaming!
Micaela clenched her fists and spoke with determination in her eyes.
-I trust Carlos to take care of everything and I’m not going to compromise!
Natalia grimaced.
-Yes, Carlos is capable of that, but now he only thinks about finding you. Here Yakydiza, I’m trying to hide you, it won’t be easy for him to find you, and when he finds you and makes sure you’re safe, he’ll have the energy to do something else. Antonio won’t be able to hold his head up high for the rest of his life, Katarina’s mother will probably be pissed off for life, Olivia will miss this rare opportunity and will have to struggle for years to make a name for herself in the makeup world, and, without me to free Leonardo’s mother from hypnosis, they will still be unable to live in peace with everything, and as for your best friend, sorry they will probably have to be a pair of ghostly lovebirds.
Micaela’s eyes are red and she shakes her head, no, she can’t let these terrible consequences happen, but she doesn’t want to break up with Carlos either…
She looked up, taking a good look at Natalia sitting on the sofa, and suddenly something occurred to her….
-You, Natalia, you shouldn’t be like this, and Javier? It is clear that you already chose him, then, when Carlos and I threw you out, you told me yourself that you would start a new life….
Carlos had also told her the other day that Javier and she had established a dating relationship?
Natalia jumped to her feet, with a merciless glint in her eyes and a slightly agitated tone on her lips.
Don’t talk to me about Natalia, I killed that good-for-nothing! Giving up a plan you’ve been working on for so long for a dog that betrayed you is foolish.
Micaela froze for a second, she didn’t know Natalia very well and this moment was getting more and more strange…
-Natalia must not be weak, she must not be held back by useless emotions, she is strong, dominant, she wants what she wants against all odds, power, status, and an equally good Carlos, those are the things she must have!….
Micaela looked at Natalia and felt a little overwhelmed by the reaction; Natalia was indeed strangely similar to someone else, but this person was clearly Natalia….
Natalia took a few steps closer to the television, her agitated tone softened and her eyes took on a haughty, smug look.
-By the way, there’s something else you don’t know about, the collapse of Catyblack Nation, remember? That was also planned by me, I hypnotized a few useless local punks to infiltrate the venue and plant the bomb a few days before the show, speaking of which, Micaela, how many innocent people died in that accident because of you?
Micaela’s eyes widened in disbelief, as a strong feeling of guilt came over her… the accident that day, was it also your fault…?
-How about not compromising yourself, I’m sure Carlos will find you sooner or later with his skills, but I’ll never let him find you out, I’ll keep stalking you and then you’ll see more innocents die because of you?
Micaela was too angry for words.
-Natalia, you’re crazy!
Natalia wrapped her arms around her chest and raised her chin arrogantly.
-That’s right, I’m crazy, how could I be who I am today without being crazy, don’t waste your time, the happiness of all your friends for you to break up with Carlos, good deal. I’ll give you a minute, I want to hear your answer. I repeat, if you say goodbye to Carlos yourself, all your friends can live happily ever after, except you, of course.
As soon as I break up with Carlos, Alba, Katarina, Olivia, Bianca, can live happily ever after without any more innocent sacrifices….
No, she loved Carlos, and what was the point of living without him?
Micaela shook her head, her hands clutching her chest, her insides in torment.
-Natalia, Carlos isn’t a toy, he’s a person, he has a conscience of his own, and whatever means you use to possess him by force won’t last… -Natalia growled.
Natalia growled.
-Micaela, a truly strong man shouldn’t have weaknesses, you shouldn’t have been close to Carlos, you became his death sentence, if you hadn’t been close to him and warmed his otherwise cold heart, he wouldn’t have softened with Javier, and sparing my life at that moment made me exactly what I am today.
He looked down and pulled out his phone, looked at it for a moment, then answered with something else, turned and walked away from the camera and went to fling open the bedroom door, and Carlos, radiating low atmospheric pressure, was standing on the other side of the door!
Natalia smiled.
-Hello Carlos, at last we meet…..
Carlos reached straight for Natalia’s slender neck.
A low pressure of air emanated from his body, as if it was a malignant fury from hell, his scarlet eyes were flooded with a deep murderous and merciless intention, and his hands were used with all their strength, choking her and forcing her to retreat several steps….
-Natalia, you’ve got a lot of courage!
Every word, from the bottom of his heart, was so intense with hatred that he would have snapped her neck without hesitation had he not had to learn the girl’s whereabouts at her hands.
Natalia rolled her eyes, her neck was raw, her bones about to be crushed, her throat burned and she couldn’t catch her breath….
Her bodyguards ran towards her and were stopped by Carlos’ bodyguards.
-Carlos…
The girl’s sobbing voice came through…..
Carlos regained his composure instantly and released Natalia, feeling that the voice recorded in his head was still not real enough, and quickly looked around and finally saw the figure of the girl on the TV on the wall….
Her deep eyes immediately filled with concern as she observed the girl, and fortunately, apart from a tear-stained face, she did not look seriously injured, which was somewhat reassuring….
Natalia, free of inhibitions, dropped to the floor with her unsteady weight, coughing violently, but with a smile on her face, tilted her head, looked at Carlos and spoke in a hoarse voice.
-Carlos, remember when I told you that Micaela looks a lot like an angel? Angels that are going to negativize you for the world…
