Alba’s eyes widened….
Leave Micaela, give up, Carlos?
-Where we had just fought, Natalia had arranged for someone to be there to film surreptitiously, partly to check if I did what she said, and partly, to film so that Micaela would see that Natalia was using you, using friends from Micaela’s entourage that she cared about, to threaten her and force her to leave Mr. Carlos of her own free will.
Alba’s heart squeezed so hard that she could hardly breathe…
This, this is cruel…
Let Micaela see how Ernesto is being harassed like this…
A moment, friends?
-Who else did that damned woman Natalia do?
Suddenly, Miguel coughed and his chest hurt so much that it looked sore, and Alba rushed to pour hot water on him and give it to him.
Miguel, much more comfortable after drinking the water, looked at her and said slowly.
-Alba, I’m sorry I did something that hurt you and Ernesto, Natalia doesn’t trust me, so I don’t know much, the only thing I know is that you are not the only one she has in her sights, the two news that today have made furor on the internet are also from Natalia’s hand, she has done all that, and her final goal, is to replace Micaela next to Mr. Carlos. Besides, she surely has a backing behind her.
Replacing Micaela at Carlos’ side?
She’s thinking big!
Alba was furious, damn Natalia!
She got impatient again and chased after her.
-And Micaela, how is Micaela?
Miguel smiles bitterly.
-I really don’t know.
Alba turned around furious and Miguel hurried to call her.
-Alba…
Alba turned around unconsciously.
-I wish you and Ernesto the best and you will be very happy.
Miguel’s eyes were full of sincerity.
Alba nodded her head as she let go for a moment of her anxiety-filled heart.
-Thank you, we will. Miguel, you too will have the love of your life.
Miguel smiles.
-Thank you…
Alba turned around, pushed open the living room door and walked out. Thunder sounded in the sky and, through the glass in the hallway, she could see the dark clouds outside and it looked like a heavy downpour was about to fall.
The weather, which at that moment suited him like a glove, was also expecting a storm-like outburst.
Back in Ernesto’s room, Ernesto was already lying down and when he saw Alba enter, he tried to sit up again and Alba hurried to help him up.
-What did she say?
Ernesto immediately asked.
Alba held back her anger and tried to tell him everything she had learned from Miguel in the softest voice she could.
Ernesto’s brow furrowed slightly and they both guessed how the substitute for Micaela next to Carlos she had spoken of was a substitute, and Alba was extraordinarily angry.
-Maybe Natalia was holding something back, or maybe she wasn’t expert enough in hypnosis then, but now, with full confidence, she dares to do something like that in a big way. He should never have let her go for Javier’s sake.
That said, Alba immediately went back on Twitter and read what Miguel had said about the two things that had exploded on the internet today, which revealed what Katarina and Antonio had been through and what Tomas and Elisa Abasto had been discussing on the 13th floor rooftop, but the crisis was all solved, Elisa Abasto had fallen on the air bed and had no more problems than a small concussion, no other problems, and Katarina is actually the daughter of the Sarmiento family!
Alba asked uneasily.
-Ernesto, is the fact that Katarina’s affairs have taken a turn proof that Natalia’s goals have not been achieved?
But where is Micaela?
What has happened to Carlos?
Why did Diego wait to return to Teladia to talk about something that could have been said in one sentence?
What happened in those half days?
Ernesto shakes his head.
-No, it only proves that Natalia’s purpose has been achieved.
Alba sat up from the edge of the bed in an instant of horror, her eyes full of disbelief.
-No, you’re talking nonsense! Even if Micaela is too kind to see us threatened, Carlos won’t let us go so easily!
Ernesto calmly took her hand and sat down, giving her the following analysis.
-Alba, let’s talk about Katarina for a moment, you think, before Hector was Katarina’s cousin and now, being the real brother, it’s only fair that he comes forward and shakes the truth, but why so late?
Alba was a bit insensitive, how late?
She herself was kidnapped, she didn’t know it when the news broke, and now it’s all over.
Ernesto explained.
-The news about Katarina and Antonio broke first thing in the morning, the internet is so advanced now, she wanted to help her own sister and start a live video, just as she was able to direct public opinion, so why did it take until 1 pm to shake the story?
Alba was startled when Ernesto added.
-Natalia dared to use Katarina’s relationship with Antonio as a way to threaten Micaela, so there must have been a certainty that this would turn around, and things really did turn around at this point…..
Alba gave a sigh in reaction.
-You mean Hector was following Natalia’s instructions to publish the facts at that moment and turn the tables?
Ernesto nods and Alba immediately goes to call Katarina, who is stopped by Ernesto.
-Honey wait, didn’t you just say that Natalia has someone behind, that Hector has no brains to get Carlos’ attention, and you also said that there is no way Carlos will let go of Micaela, and it is not yet known if Natalia can hypnotize Carlos, so don’t scare the snake…-….
Alba is really impressed with Ernesto right now, all she can think about is finding Micaela and wanting Natalia dead, but Ernesto hits the nail on the head!
-What do we do now?
Ernesto brings Alba’s cell phone.
-Get in touch with Diego and Carlos, either of them, and find out what exactly is going on now.
Carlos, who was still unreachable, and Diego, who was also unreachable, were called.
He should have been approached, so the phone was off.
Alba was about to speak when there was a knock at the door.
She got up to open the door and was met by a bodyguard who looked familiar.
The bodyguard nodded respectfully to Alba and entered, standing on the edge of the bed and looking at Ernesto with a somewhat embarrassed face.
-Mr. Ernesto, I’m sorry, we have arranged for a lot of salvage equipment, but there is still no progress, and the wind is blowing so hard at sea that it is really affecting the safety of the operation….
Ernesto and Alba were stunned, what salvage, no progress?
The bodyguard, looking at Ernesto’s bruises, guessed that he probably didn’t know and offered to explain.
-Miss Micaela was taken away in a car that went into the sea and Mr. Carlos jumped in to look for her and almost died, Diego told us to get Miss Micaela out any way we could, but it has been so long that Miss Micaela is afraid… now the weather is bad, can we wait for the storm to pass and we can continue?
Micaela, Micaela fell into the sea?
So long and still no rescue?
Alba doubled over and fainted…
