Carlos wallowed in the sea, wide-eyed, still not finding his heart Katarina’s girl,….
The gravity of the car is so great, and with such a high altitude, it is hundreds of meters directly underwater and sinking, Carlos has no equipment and is not a professional diver to dive that deep …
Even on a day in June, the water was so cold that the girl did not know how to swim, and at that moment, was she really scared?
Remorse, remorse, sadness and boundless pain overwhelmed Carlos, and the long hours holding his breath were also draining his strength, but he was clinging to life …
How could his girl, who had only agreed to marry her the night before and had just blushed before him on television, and whose wedding was scheduled for half a month later, disappear before his eyes?
He had done everything he could to protect her, to take her under his wing, to care for her, to watch over her, to love her for the rest of his life, so how could he stand by and watch something so horrible happen to her?
Is it possible that if he didn’t pursue her, he would receive her well in return?
Carlos was reluctant to go ashore and kept trying to go deeper to find the girl, but the sea was so deep and wide, the water pressure was so great that his body could not carry himself, he surfaced several times and found himself alone, he took a deep breath and rooted again, this place was so remote, when Diego would arrange for a rescue team to come, it would be too late for anything, the uneasiness was amplified, he could not even stop thinking, I of Micaela, if you end up at the bottom of the sea, I’m with you . ..
Carlos was so distressed that the phone he was carrying in his pants pocket, in the middle of several comings and goings, slipped out of his pocket and sank into the deep sea …
He kept swimming deeper and deeper and, at last, when he saw the black car, his heart leapt with joy to see that it was not still sinking, so there must still be air inside!
Carlos was so full of strength that he struggled to swim, my Micaela, this time come back and I’ll never let you out of my sight again …
In the clear blue water, a man in a black swimsuit and oxygen equipment suddenly approached Carlos, grabbed him by the foot and pulled him down hard …
Carlos looked at the man, who was wearing a professional diving suit and goggles, and couldn’t tell who it was. Carlos frowned as he looked at the car, which was beginning to sink, and at the man beneath him, who was trying to kill him, and suddenly realized that he had probably been tricked, but his heart filled with joy knowing that his girl might not be in the car ….
As Carlos’ consciousness receded, he saw several people swimming not far away …
Hospital
Victor and Matthew were sitting in front of the hospital bed, looking at Carlos, who had just been taken out of the ER.
He was lying in a hospital bed, changed into a hospital gown, pale, wearing an oxygen mask, still frowning despite being unconscious, his thin lips pursed, perhaps dreaming of the girl’s whereabouts in that cold sea …
It was Diego and his bodyguard who pulled Carlos out of the sea in time and, after reviving him, he was out of danger.
Diego arrived from his hospitalization, his clothes soaked almost dry from his own body heat, and was already surprised to see Victor and Mateo in the room. …
How did he suddenly appear here?
Or with Victor, who lives permanently in Salamentro?
Diego searched his mind for some connection between them, yes, Moses’ great-grandfather was from Salamentro and was related to Elisa Abasto, but that was no reason for Elsa and Victor to appear together…. …
Diego has no time to think about it, he is too anxious, he has to go to the beach to urge the salvage team to look for Miss Micaela, he cannot let any hope slip away, but it is clear that Victor has something to tell himself …
As if on cue, Matthew looked at the bodyguards and said.
-Everyone else out, Diego, you stay.
The bodyguards withdrew following the instructions.
-Diego, Carlos is getting ready to go to Salamonsa, I know,” Victor spoke.
Diego was startled and unconsciously looked at Elsa, and true to his style, the fear he had just felt was the suspicion that Elsa’s presence next to Victor was not related to Carlos going to Salamonsa …
Surely she was the one who told Victor!
Elsa looks at Diego, nods and speaks bluntly.
-It was me, I had gone to Salamentro the month before to look for Mr. Victor and tell him about Carlos’ plans.
Diego’s fists clenched, why was Moises’ mother doing this?
She knew that the boy Moises liked Miss Micaela, was this some kind of trick of the mother and son, to steal Miss Micaela from Mr.?
Victor’s eyes were serious, with a clear plea, as he looked at Diego and spoke slowly.
-Diego, the person Carlos trusts the most is you, you are the only one who knows the story before and after he goes to Salamonsa, what happens afterwards, I want you to do what I tell you, Carlos is my dearest son and grandson, I will not hurt him, please trust Victor.
Diego shakes his head.
-Victor, I only take orders from Mr. Carlos, you and Mr. Carlos will decide everything when he wakes up…”.
Elsa interrupted him and told him directly.
-Carlos will die if he goes to Salamonsa, he also has the ‘pact’ on him, his condition is that he cannot stay in Salamonsa and that is why his mother insisted on fleeing Salamonsa.
What …
Diego is shocked …
Elsa’s expression is very serious, she is from Salamonsa and knows all about the “contract” …
With a complicated look, Matthew looked at Carlos, who was lying unconscious on the hospital bed, and suddenly asked.
-Diego, you have been with Carlos for many years, and from what you know about Carlos, let me ask you, what is the first thing Carlos would do when he woke up?
Diego answered immediately.
-Looking for Miss Micaela.
Live and let die …
-If he finds Micaela, and Micaela is well, what is his next step?
Diego, still without hesitation, answered.
-Marry Miss Micaela and then, as planned, take her back to Salamonsa to break the “contract” …
Elsa nodded and said.
-So the end is that Micaela goes back to Salamonsa and can’t leave again, because if she goes back and leaves again, she dies, she stays in Salamonsa and can live well, while Carlos, if he goes back to Salamonsa, after three months the ‘contract and he, inevitably, dies.
Diego’s heart sank hard, if Miss Micaela did not return, then the ‘contract’ had only a year left, and Elsa meant that Miss Micaela could only stay alive in Salamonsa…. …
Matthew continued.
-If, instead of finding Micaela, alive and dead, Charles, in his wisdom, could have deduced, and even deluded himself into believing, that she must have been taken back to Salamonsa by the man in the shadows, even if there was only a glimmer of hope, he would have gone to Salamonsa in search of Micaela….
And it is a dead end for him to go to Salamonsa …
Diego is silent …
Matthew’s eyes saddened a little more as he asked his next question.
-What would happen to him if, upon waking up, in the sea, he found Micaela’s body?
Diego’s heart clenched, Mr. Carlos would never live alone, he had already prepared for this, he was not going to return to Salamonsa if he could not break Miss Micaela’s mortal “contract”, even the Aguayo Group of Teladia was willing to give Mr. Tomas his life. Aguayo was willing to give Mr. Tomas up, and he had just repeatedly and desperately dived into the water, even more so when he had already left his life, if he had found him a few minutes later, Mr. Carlos would have been buried at the bottom of the sea …
Victor sighed, what Diego had not said, they understood.
Elsa opened her mouth.
-Diego, what do you think, if Micaela found out about this, what would she do?
Diego felt his heart ache again, for Mr. Carlos and for Miss Micaela.
Half-heartedly, with a trembling voice, he answered.
-He wished Mr. Carlos the best …
Miss Micaela would rather die in Anlandana than let Mr. Carlos go to Salamonsa if she knew he carried a “contract” that would kill him if he returned to Salamonsa. Lord Carlos had delayed talking to Miss Micaela about going to Salamonsa because he feared that it would affect her state of mind and that she would refuse to go to Salamonsa if she knew about it, thinking of the terrible consequences that it would bring. …
Victor nods heavily.
-I don’t like the people of salamonsa, but my son, my grandson, they all look at the women who love salamonsa. micaela I also approve of with all my heart, but they shouldn’t be together. carlos is a deep and persistent man, who has never moved for anyone, who knows, the only woman who has moved, is I can’t let this happen. I can’t let this happen, and the only way to stop it is to make him forget about Micaela.
