Alba dreamed of horrible images of Micaela in her car, falling into the cold sea water, the car door not opening under the pressure of the sea, the sea water seeping in little by little, Micaela crying helplessly….
Micaela can’t swim, what to do, what to do, Alba’s heart is stuck, she can’t wait to jump, help her open the car door and pull her out, it’s so hard to suffocate….
-Honey, wake up, wake up….
Ernesto, distressed by the cold sweat and pain on her face, hurries to wake her up.
Alba winced and opened her eyes wide.
She slept in the hospital bed and Ernesto changed his clothes and sat beside her, relieved to see her awake.
She hadn’t had a sip of water since the night before, and after all she had been through and hearing such horrible things, before she passed out unconscious and the doctor hooked her up to glucose.
Alba sat up with a gasp and took Ernesto’s hand in hers, asking excitedly.
-What the doorman just said is not true, Micaela is fine, right? Right, Ernesto, you tell me!
Ernesto looked at Alba, who was a little out of control, and, distressed, sat on the edge of the bed and took her in his arms.
-Calm down for a moment, we have to believe that Micaela’s fortune is in the balance.
Alba’s heart is hard….
It was cruel, but Ernesto had to say it anyway.
-Honey, Carlos’s phone is still not working, Diego has simply turned off, but I contacted other senior officials of the Aguayo Group and they confirmed that Diego was back, he also told me that Carlos’s grandfather, his father, was there, and this time, it doesn’t seem to be that simple.
Alba paid no attention, her whole body was drained of strength and she leaned lifelessly in Ernesto’s arms….
What do you mean by good luck, you don’t mean that Micaela was really in that car, that’s why Carlos jumped in to save her, that’s why she almost died, that’s why she couldn’t communicate by phone, either her phone was in the water or it was all sunk in the sea….
The tears were like an open faucet, I couldn’t stop them, my mind kept going back to last night, Micaela on stage, defending her World Modeling Contest title, Carlos putting the crown and shawl on her, her soft, light smile, the moment she and Carlos looked at each other, making the whole audience go crazy with the pictures, their proposal, taking the The world was left without romance in general….
So heartbreaking, so heartbreaking, no, it’s not true!
Alba pushed Ernesto away and got out of bed.
-I’ll go look for Micaela, I’m sure I’ll find her! She’s especially gullible, she’ll believe anything I tell her, I’ll go and tell her I’ve forgotten you again and she’ll hurry to show up….
Ernesto put an arm around her, disconsolate.
-Don’t be like that, honey, maybe Micaela wasn’t in that car? I asked the bodyguard and he didn’t see Micaela get in the car, nor did he see Micaela’s figure in the car during the chase, everything is still uncertain, don’t get carried away, we’ll go back to Teladia first thing in the morning and find Diego ourselves, ok?
Alba picked up the straw that saved her life, yes, Micaela maybe not in the car?
Alba sniffled and nodded her head.
-Yes, yes, yes, Ernesto you’re right, Micaela is definitely not in that car, so let’s go back now, shall we?
As she said this, she looked at Ernesto and realized that he had changed out of his hospital gown and was wearing his own clothes, and then she remembered that her boyfriend was also injured and asked in a muffled voice.
-Ernesto, why are you up, you have so many bruises?
Ernesto sighed in relief and pulled her into his arms.
-I’m fine Honey, you haven’t eaten all day, I ordered a meal, can we eat something first?
Alba shakes her head.
-I’m not hungry, let’s go back to Teladia and eat with Micaela.
Ernesto’s heart shrinks.
-No more tickets, all flights have been cancelled due to the lightning and strong convection just now, and it’s already dark, I’ve booked the earliest flight for tomorrow, so do as I say.
He prepared to return home immediately, so he removed the serum and changed clothes, but the flight was called off and Carlos and Diego Victor took a private plane back, at that time of year, just in time to avoid the thunder and lightning.
Looking at the faint shadows under Ernesto’s eyes, Alba knew that Ernesto must have been looking for her all the night before and must not have rested, and that today had been such an exciting day that she had to stifle her eagerness and force herself to get some rest.
The messenger brought the food, but Alba had no appetite at all, she forced herself to gorge herself on a bowl of rice and then went to ask the nurse to put her IV back in.
After the drip, Alba went to wash, but also a rare gentle and careful care to help Ernesto wipe her body, gentle movements, did not touch her pain, Ernesto looked at the body full of sadness Alba, but also do not flirt with her mood …
The two were preparing to go to bed when Alba’s phone rang.
Startled, Alba wondered if she had good news and hurriedly picked up the phone to check that it was indeed Olivia.
Olivia had made it all the way to the finals…
Did she know something too, she had come to wonder?
Alba looked at Ernesto and together they sat on the edge of the bed and picked up the phone.
-Alba, why aren’t they answering Micaela’s phone?
Olivia’s tone was full of urgency.
Alba clutched at the sheets on the edge of the bed, not knowing what to answer, Olivia had already spoken.
-Alba, I suspect Natalia is going to turn against Micaela, Leonardo can’t communicate with Mr. Carlos or Diego. So he went to hypnotize his mother to prevent us from being together, which I can hardly understand, but Natalia actually targeted Katarina, saying that she and Antonio are siblings!
Natalia hypnotized Leonardo’s mother?
Alba was a little surprised, and then remembered that her hysterical attempts to separate them were a lot like Elisa Abasto’s harassment of Tomas, in fact!
At this point, Olivia pauses, apparently to calm the shock in her heart.
-Oh my god, I was so stunned to see the coverage of this, but I’ll talk about it when I get back, Natalia also hypnotized Elisa Abasto, did it do Natalia any good that she was molesting Tomas? All this was on TV and I think you should know, I think about it, so many of us, the common nexus is that we are all friends of Micaela and Mr. Carlos, maybe their next step is to target Micaela?
Alba suddenly remembered that Natalia was attacking all the friends that Micaela cared about, so had they also attacked Olivia?
-Olivia, did something happen to you today? By the way, today is the day of your make-up contest?
Olivia paused a little and then answered.
-I was on my way to the race this morning when I was kidnapped. I suspected that Leonardo’s mother was trying to make things difficult for me, but I was released soon after. He told me that his mother had been hypnotized to stop us, and that he had asked his uncle to take her to get her out of hypnosis, only to be told she couldn’t. That Natalia woman is incredibly sick, and Natalia must be responsible for me being kidnapped today and almost not being able to participate in the race! Maybe her next target will be you and Micaela, you must make Micaela be very careful!.
Alba was heartbroken and angry because so many things had happened in one day, no, half a day, and Natalia was so cruel to pile it all up in these few hours and force Micaela to make a decision….
Looking at Ernesto beside her, without telling Olivia that he had been the target, that those cars had fallen into the sea, that Micaela didn’t know if he was in the car or not, and that Carlos had been about to die, Olivia played several games, so as not to affect her mood, and had to repress her emotions and nod, making up an excuse to put Olivia offMicaela Why she didn’t answer the phone, changed the subject and hung up.
Alba’s heart cringed as she looked at Ernesto.
-Natalia must have planned all this a long, long time ago, targeting Carlos but setting her sights on the friends surrounding Micaela, because she knew that Carlos’ weakness was Micaela and she couldn’t target Micaela directly, much less Carlos, so, she targeted those of us she cared about as friends?
Ernesto took her in his arms and rubbed her head in approval.
-Well, she planned the stabbing of Micaela, probably did a double take, if she could take her down in one blow, but if not, she could use that failure to make Carlos think she was no longer a threat, and loosen her grip….
The more Alba thought about it, the more scared she became…. how scary was that woman, Natalia?
Who was her accomplice?
She looked uneasily at Ernesto.
-My biggest concern right now is Micaela, she must not be in that car…. By the way, didn’t you just say that Carlos’ father and grandfather were with him? In that case, Natalia must not have a chance to shoot Carlos, right?
Ernesto repressed his mixed feelings and reassured her to lie down and sleep.
-Yes, get some rest, Micaela must be fine and Carlos too, they are very much in love and no one can stop them.
The words were well received and Alba was instantly reassured to know that yes, no one could stop Carlos and Micaela except life and death….
With the lights off and the room in darkness, Ernesto dared to show the uneasiness on his face….
The upper management of Grupo Aguayo, whom he contacted, told him that Natalia was also present with Victor and Diego and had not seen Micaela, so it was much more complicated than they thought….
Let’s hope to be back early tomorrow morning and that it’s not too late…
