Yerma froze and looked at Micaela in disbelief.
-Really?
Micaela wiped away her tears and helped her mother up, looking at her with determination.
-Really.
In this forced separation from Carlos, not knowing if there was any chance of reuniting, she was surprised to discover that her period was a month late, and having searched extensively on pregnancy symptoms after her last failure, she was more than certain that she was indeed pregnant.
Although Nilson had left her alone and she was free to come and go, she was always accompanied by an entourage and her mother was always with her, so she didn’t dare go shopping for tests for fear that Nilson would know it would be bad for the baby.
She wondered why Nilson was so stubborn with herself, having left Salamonsa herself at age 9. It wasn’t that she couldn’t see the love in his eyes and it made her increasingly curious as to where that emotion was coming from.
In any case, she would not marry Nilson, much less endanger the child she carried in her womb.
Yerma’s eyes rested on the small of Micaela’s back and, after a long moment of reflection, she said.
-Moya, let me think about it…..
A maid appeared at the door and knocked softly.
-Madam, Miss, breakfast is ready.
Yerma nods and looks at Micaela.
-Go and wash up.
Micaela did as she was told, took her clothes to the bathroom, changed, pulled back her long hair, brushed her teeth and then took the cold water with both hands and poured it directly on her face.
Close your eyes and Carlos’ face pops into your mind.
I can’t help thinking of him again, of his arms, his kisses, his intoxicating -Micaela….
She had been upset for a month, Nilson had told her that Carlos was hypnotized to kill her, that Natalia was not only the CEO of Grupo Aguayo, but that she was Carlos’ favorite woman, he had assured himself that Carlos would never fall in love with Natalia, that Natalia had been in love with Carlos had been in love with her for years, but Carlos was impassive, and even if he didn’t remember her now, he wouldn’t be attracted to Natalia!
But no matter how much he swore, he still felt a slight uneasiness in his heart. He was very afraid that Carlos would take Natalia for his….
It was precisely the pictures Nilson showed her today that put an end to her doubts and anxieties.
As she had just said, how could Carlos be standing there like a log with his hands hanging down if he really thought Natalia was her, and she was sure that Natalia hadn’t even kissed him before Carlos pushed her!
Plus there’s Katarina, Ernesto and the others, they won’t let Natalia’s plan work!
Micaela opened her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror with direction in her eyes, all she had to do was get out of her depression and plan her next step for the sake of the baby she was carrying in her womb….
Salamonsa is unlike any other country in the world, it is a curiously closed country that still thrives.
She tried calling Carlos, calling Alba, and then was surprised to discover that her network was only available in her home country, and even the Internet, with its limitations!
To contact people outside Salamonsa, it is necessary to request a special number from the corresponding department that manages this area of foreign trade, in order to contact abroad, and in the whole of Pesla City, only Nilson has it.
The Salamonsa complex is not very large and they are in the busiest area of Pesla City.
Nilson, for his part, is the ruler of all Pesla City.
The hair color, physical features and language of the inhabitants of Salamonsa are exactly the same as those of Anlandana, a fact that amazes Micaela greatly.
She had learned some simple information from her mother, although she had been born in Salamonsa, but as she had been hypnotized before, her memories were too old to recall, and now that she was here again, she was ignorant of everything here, and her main concern was what they were saying, why she would die if she did not return to Salamonsa, while Carlos was the opposite of her, about what her mother was not she did not want to say much about it, just one sentence.
-There are things that are probably meant to be.
What she was sure of was that the reason Salamonsa was so closed off must have something to do with that strange law.
She had been outside a few times and always felt that the whole city, there was a strangeness, but, what was strange, she couldn’t say….
As she washes up and leaves, she sees her mother sitting on the edge of the bed, her face stony, and hearing her daughter’s movement as she leaves, she gets up and approaches Micaela.
Micaela feels like another mother in front of her….
-Moya, remember that you are now in Salamonsa and that your name is Moya Echave, the eldest daughter of the Echave family. Mom will take you home later.
The determined gleam in her mother’s eyes awakens the joy in Micaela’s heart….
Her home in Salamonsa is not in Pesla City, but in Echave City.
The status of the city that bears her surname is evident.
Mother and daughter go down together.
The whole villa is magnificent, the walls are covered with marble up to the top, the crystal chandeliers are precious, every piece of furniture looks valuable, even the carpets on the floor look exquisite, absolutely the best materials, everywhere you see the wealth of the owner.
Nilson is sitting on the leather sofa thinking about something, he sees Micaela and Yerma coming down, he gets up and walks with them to the table.
He pulls out a stool like a gentleman and gestures for Micaela to sit down.
Micaela turned around and sat on the other side of the room.
Nilson didn’t mind either, it was a scene that was repeated every day and he was used to it.
The table was well stocked with breakfast, Nilson had mapped out Micaela’s dietary preferences and prepared all her favorites.
Nilson looks at Micaela, no, at her eyes, she is Moya Echave….
The woman’s movements are graceful, every action reveals that since childhood table manners are engraved in the brain, even if the mood is not good these days, the little face is so thin that it hurts the heart, but the body of the elegant and clean temperament is not reduced….
After so many years in the Anlandana mixed modeling scene, the scent of her body is not tainted at all, but still beautiful and intoxicating, Carlos is a great credit….
Thinking about this, Nilson frowned and refused to think about it any more.
Moya also has a point of coldness, especially towards him, a coldness that adds to the resistance.
Several times holding scissors to his neck not allowing his approach!
Moya took it well, she knew that her greatest bargaining chip was herself and he didn’t want to hurt her….
Seeing her eyes land on one of the plates of food, Nilson’s heart clenched.
It was on a plate of his ungraceful little round balls, golden, round and big as quail eggs, looking delicious….
Micaela carefully inserted one with a fork and popped it into her mouth. It was filled with chopped mushrooms, glutinous rice and diced meat, which tasted like glory with the crispy crust!
He quickly switched chopsticks and brought a few to his mother.
-Mom, try this.
Nilson cracked a smile and looked relieved.
It was made with his own hands, it was one of his favorite snacks when they were kids, he would get up early to prepare it, even the fillings were trodden by his own hands, watching the kitchen maids in a state of trepidation….
When he finished, he motioned to go to his room to wash and change before going to wake his Moya, the door was closed, but it was hard to beat him, the thought of being able to wake her every day from now on was immensely satisfying, but instead she was calling another man by name….
Nilson clenches his fork tightly as he thinks of the image he just saw in the room….
She can only be in Salamonsa, it doesn’t matter, just melt his heart little by little….
Nilson thought this and felt a little more relaxed.
Yerma looked into Nilson’s loving eyes with mixed feelings.
Moya now had a new hope and she must make an effort.
She put down the silverware and looked at Nilson.
-Nilson, we will return to Echave City later, and we will talk about your marriage to Moya later.
