Ernesto wiped away her tears and assured.
-Yes, I’ll follow up on that…..
When he got off the plane, Ernesto had arranged for a car to come pick him up and immediately went to get the flash drive Diego had said he wanted, and on the way, Alba got another call from Katarina.
-Alba, is something wrong with Micaela, Antonio’s calls to Mr. Carlos are not working and I just found out that overnight all of Micaela’s endorsements have changed? There are no posters on the street anymore, no reports about her on the internet? And searching for the word ‘Micaela’ is a forbidden word!
The more Katarina thought about last night, the weirder she felt. When she called Hector to ask about Micaela, he told her that he had gone back to his country first and that he wasn’t sure. Katarina was getting more and more upset and waited for Alba to call her until now, but she couldn’t wait any longer.
Alba felt entranced, but in her head she immediately ruled that since she wanted Carlos to forget about Micaela, it was natural to withdraw all news of her, she took a deep breath and said.
-Katarina, if you and your husband are free, come to my house and I will let Bianca know that I have something to tell you.
She is the closest to Micaela, so if her friends can’t get in touch with her, they are sure to ask her, so we can sit down together and discuss what to do…..
An hour later, Tomas, Bianca, Antonio and Katarina, met at Ernesto’s house.
Tomas’ face was hard, and Ernesto took one look at him and guessed that he must have already known.
He did know that he had just separated from Victor and returned home to pick up Bianca.
Micaela had died and it had taken him a great effort to digest the news, that his older brother would not find out, let alone go to Salamonsa, that he could understand, his older brother loved Micaela to the marrow of his bones and he had long ago made plans that he did not want to live alone without Micaela, of course he wanted his older brother to be well.
But to have Natalia, who had been damned a million times, in front of her big brother instead of Micaela, he couldn’t stand it any way!
Before receiving Ernesto’s call, she phoned her older brother, who had arrived at his destination, and true to her grandfather’s and father’s words, he went back to the way he was before he met Micaela, indifferent, cold, he didn’t initiate any mention of Micaela, and her older brother was completely unaware of this person in general….
They all saw Alba’s face full of sadness and Ernesto’s dangling hand and bruised face and wanted to ask, but he settled everyone in the living room in front of the TV and then went to plug in the flash drive.
-This is what Diego left us, let’s read it first and then make our next decision.
The audience was extraordinarily surprised when the images came out and the video was divided into two frames: on one side, Micaela, and on the other, Natalia!
This is a video from yesterday, when Micaela was in captivity!
The video on Micaela’s side throbs with the images she is seeing, that is, what Micaela saw on TV at the time is what everyone is seeing now, and the crowd watches with gritted teeth, the whole thing, the first to suffer were Katarina and Antonio, then Tomas and Elisa Abasto, Alba, Ernesto, what happened to them almost at the same time The women sobbed as they watched Micaela’s painful struggling and hesitation. …
Carlos’ appearance on the video gave everyone hope, Natalia’s failed hypnosis made everyone think that everything had turned around, and Carlos’ sweet words of reassurance to Micaela made everyone think that Carlos and Micaela were joking when they both failed to make contact…. …
In the left part of the video Natalia is tied up while Micaela takes off her crown, her cloak and walks with a smile on her face towards the door, which is open and the surveillance does not capture the image on the other side of the door, only Micaela can be heard asking.
-Who are you?
Then nothing was heard, and everyone’s heart stopped? Hadn’t Carlos come to pick her up?
Then a man in black came in and picked up the cloak and crown that Micaela had placed on the bed; it was a completely unfamiliar face, looking like a professional bodyguard.
Then, after another ten minutes, Carlos appeared there….
As we all know, he’s lost….
The scene suddenly changes to a road in what appears to be the interior of a car recorder, and everyone immediately guesses that it is Carlos chasing Micaela.
Micaela must be in that car, otherwise why are they running?
Alba covered her lips, tears filling her eyes once again, knowing what was going to happen later….
Everyone else, however, prayed that it would be possible to catch up with them.
The cape thrown out the car window added to the belief that Micaela was in the car.
The car’s recorder picked up how the car panicked and swerved off the road to avoid oncoming traffic, but in less than half a minute, it suddenly plunged off the cliff, the recorder picked up that there was a blue sea below, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air and their hearts instantly caught in their throats, then Carlos slammed on the brakes and appeared in the image, running towards the cliff He takes off his jacket, throws it on the ground and jumps….
The screen stops.
-And then what? And then what happened, Carlos pulled Micaela out of there?
Bianca looks at Ernesto and asks him anxiously….
Diego’s voice came through the stereo with a choked sob.
-I am Diego. Mr. Carlos was rescued by me and my bodyguards and is out of danger, now waiting for him to wake up. Miss Micaela has not been found so far and is estimated…
A few people who had just been informed immediately had their hearts sink, knowing what Diego meant by stopping, that, the consequences of this were too serious and terrible, and a few women burst into tears of disbelief….
Diego’s voice rang out again.
-The video is the one that Victor threatened Natalia to hand over. I added the recordings of the car in the back, to give the truth and to ask everyone who cares about our Mr. Carlos and Miss Micaela to help keep the secret, Mr. Carlos loved Miss Micaela too much to let her know the message that Miss Micaela was dead, Mr. Carlos would never live alone without his lady, so Victor agreed to Natalia hypnotizing Miss Micaela to forget about her. o Carlos would never live alone without his mistress, so Victor agreed to have Natalia hypnotize Micaela so that he would forget about Miss Micaela and allow her to take Miss Micaela’s place beside Mr. Carlos…
Diego’s voice was nasal and, after a few moments to calm down, he continued.
-I had resisted, it was okay to hypnotize Mr. Carlos but not for Natalia to stay with Mr. Carlos, however, it seems that Victor and Natalia have made some kind of agreement and I cannot change Victor’s decision, I am very sorry. In the future, for the sake of my family Mr. Carlos, I beg you not to mention Miss Micaela in front of him, and as for Natalia….
Diego’s voice pauses, as if trying to think what to say, and finally, dissolving into a sigh, the video ends.
