Micaela’s heart filled with joy, and so on.
-No, Mom, no further negotiation, I will not marry him.
The smile on Nilson’s lips quickly faded and was replaced by melancholy, the atmospheric pressure dropped instantly.
Yerma stared at him.
-Moya’s father is gone, so I guess I have the right to make that decision, don’t I?
Nilson also put down the silverware and looked at the mother and daughter sitting across from him.
-Aunt Yerma, I don’t agree.
Micaela looked at him in disbelief.
-Nilson, can you tell me why you have to hold on to me? We don’t know each other well at all, and don’t tell me again what we agreed when we were children….
-Because you are my life, Moya, and I would die without you.
Nilson also looked at Micaela and told her directly.
Instead, Micaela’s mind suddenly remembered the time she entered the Fracimon Nation show, when she jumped off the stage and threw herself into Carlos’ arms, and her deep voice.
-Girl, do you want my life, hmm?
Micaela shook her head.
-I don’t understand what you’re saying Nilson, I’ve already told you more than once that I have someone I love and we love each other?
Nilson stood up abruptly and raised his voice to suppress his anger.
-That’s when he took you away from me! If it wasn’t me, if it wasn’t that night….
Nilson covered his mouth violently, his chest heaving and tugging at his tie with some annoyance.
That night?
What night?
Micaela is even more bewildered….
-We weren’t supposed to be wasting time like this, once I had arranged everything here and went to pick you up happy, but who knows, it wasn’t you that night and all our plans went down the drain?
He planned hard to get his Moya, burying a deal that was just for him, allowing him to take care of things in Salamonsa and pick her up again when all was done….
-Moya, go upstairs.
Yerma also got up and went to Micaela, and held out her hand to pull her arm.
Micaela did not obey and pulled her mother’s hand away, thinking about something and looking at Nilson in disbelief.
-That night three years ago, at the Q&S Hotel, if it hadn’t been Carlos, would it have been you? It was you who arranged for Marta and Adriana to take me to the hotel?
Micaela suddenly remembered the conversation she had with Adriana last year, almost on New Year’s Eve.
-Yes! It’s that Salamonsa guy, he, he….
Next thing you know, you’re spitting up a mouthful of blood!
And that visit to Sergio too, he also spit blood without being able to say it?
Adriana said so, and risked dying of a heart attack by saying so….
Micaela took a step back in disbelief and looked at Nilson.
-What did you do to them, what exactly is Salamonsa’s secret, and who mentioned Sergio and also Adriana of Salamonsa spitting blood, as if in sudden pain, that person, is it you?
The mother insisted on getting rid of Micaela.
-Moya, go upstairs while mom talks to Nilson, all the questions, you’ll surely know when it’s time to know!
Micaela was pushed towards the stairs and watched as Nilson slammed his fist on the dining room table with a loud and beautiful clatter….
She climbed the stairs in a trance, speculating if Nilson had been in Teladia….
No, I don’t think so, Charles had suspected more than once that there was a Salamonsa in Teladia and had checked repeatedly, if he really was in Teladia, Charles could not have found no trace of him, besides, he was aiming at himself and had sworn to marry her, how could he have seen her and Charles together and not removed her until now Salamonsa, and, from the looks of it, that night three years ago, he did not learn then that it was not her that night, but a more recent discovery. ..
He, as helmsman of Pesla City, also cannot leave Salamonsa unless it is very important, so there is someone who can hover around her in the dead time without arousing suspicion and be the eyes of Nilson….
She wandered from one side of the room to the other, her mind a mess, why had Nilson said he would die without her? Why had he planned that maneuver three years ago and then disappeared again?
By the way, after being back for so long, she was so busy being sad and upset that there was one thing she had never asked her mother, why she had been sent away in the first place.
I couldn’t figure it out and my mother quickly approached.
-Moya, let’s go, Nilson will take us back.
Surprised and astonished by her mother’s words, Micaela immediately ran to her.
-Mom, what did you tell her?
Yerma wanted to speak, but looked at Micaela for a long time before saying.
-Let’s go back first. moya, you are Nilson’s only hope…. you’ll make it.
How?
Micaela was completely oblivious and her mother had already taken her by the hand and left.
Nilson’s face was somber as the luxury Rolls Royce pulled up in front of the villa.
Micaela thought of the night three years ago when Carlos and she would have been lost if he had had his way, with all suspicions on her, and with a further hint of disgust for him, she brushed it aside.
Nilson looked extraordinarily complicated and yanked open the car door, allowing mother and daughter to climb in while he sat opposite.
Carlos has had more than his share of luxury cars, and Micaela has sat in them so much that she naturally doesn’t flinch at the plush interiors and sits quietly.
The car starts up and pulls off.
The villa area comes out and gradually enters the city, the streets are very spacious and clean, tall buildings, everything is in order, fashionable and pretty girls, middle-aged women, are seen everywhere….
Neither he nor his mother were willing to give many explanations about what had just happened, so there was nothing left to ask, and Micaela looked quietly out the car window, aware that Nilson’s eyes were on her, and she ignored them, turning her mind to Carlos, who was also fond of looking at her, embarrassed, blushing, with his heart beating faster…. …
Nilson saw that the woman opposite was looking out the window, that the corners of her lips were turned up and even a faint blush was visible on her face, and immediately guessed that she was thinking about Carlos again.
Her fists clenched, thinking of Yerma’s words, her eyes moved to her lower back, inwardly churning with a jealousy and anger that could kill Carlos….
The phone in his pocket vibrated and Nilson pulled it out, peeling back his thin lips.
-Moya, your heart’s desire is a big wedding today, do you want to see it?
How?
Micaela comes back to herself, the big wedding?
Carlos is marrying Natalia?
Micaela felt a strong tug on her heart, did she really still think Natalia was her?
Nilson walked over and turned on the phone screen in front of Micaela.
Carlos is wearing a black suit, his face is cold, he doesn’t know where he’s looking and he seems to be being filmed…
Micaela unconsciously tries to reach for her phone, Nilson raises his hand to avoid it, then swipes the next one and a picture of the two of them appears in front of her.
Natalia holding Carlos’ arm, with a bow of flowers behind her back, wearing a wedding dress she had custom-made with Alba at that very moment…
