Yes, today is the day Micaela takes her seat at the head of the city and tomorrow, the day of Mike’s full moon.
Micaela’s little face blushed at Carlos’ action, and Carlos’ warm breath behind her ear made her stretch her neck and raise her eyes to see in the mirror the tall man in the black suit bending over, his big arms around her from behind, and her so small in his arms….
Carlos’s eyes roamed the screen of his phone, his thin lips wandered over her cheeks, his voice a little muffled.
-Sir Master of the City, is there any reward for my great merit?
Micaela hung up her phone and took him by the arm, looking at the two intimates in the mirror, her heart beating at a chaotic pace, and though she knew her answer, she cooperated by asking:
-You, what reward do you want?
-I want you.
Carlos looked up slightly and in the mirror, their eyes met….
He knew that was the answer, but Micaela’s heart was still beating uncontrollably fast and she looked away, not daring to look him in the eyes, lowering her voice a little.
-I have been yours for a long time?
Yes, she had been his for a long time, but still Carlos was overcome with joy and satisfaction at hearing the girl say it of her own free will, he tightened his arms and gave her a kiss on the cheek before straightening up, resting his hand on her shoulder and looking at the figure in the mirror.
The girl looks great, her skin is white and rosy, her long hair pulled back revealing her white neck, she doesn’t need makeup, she’s already so beautiful you can’t take your eyes off her. If she didn’t have something to do later, Carlos would very much like to leave his mark on her snow-white neck….
The man’s voice suddenly darkened.
-Is it ready? He’s ready.
Micaela hurriedly got up, grabbed the handbag she had prepared, put her phone in it and turned around.
-Mmmmmm, that’ll do.
Carlos’s eyes fell on her, she was dressed in a decent professional suit with her curves exposed, a discreet gray suit, simple and generous, that looked distinctly striking on her.
During the second half of the month, he had a teacher of postpartum recovery forms come in, and the girl was very cooperative in her practice. The woman, who was already pregnant and had only a big belly, would have recovered her figure so well that she would be perfectly ready to go back to modeling.
Carlos took her hand.
-Come on, after today you are the Lord of Echave City, with your own international network and you can contact your friends whenever you want.
Micaela followed his step outside, looked at her hand in the palm of his, her heart lifted sweetly, and said:
-There’s also a lot to take care of on the way, so I’ll take care of all my mother’s work….
Charles stopped abruptly and turned to embrace the woman, taking her hand and wrapping it around his slender waist, while with his other hand he grasped her chin and lifted it slightly.
-Girl, you just enjoy the rights, leave the obligations to me.
Micaela’s mind recalls what Alba said earlier when she was talking to her best friends:
-Don’t be afraid, Carlos is there, you are just the titular teacher of the city, he must be doing all the big and small things, he is so Honey you, how can he let you get tired!
asked the woman with an ironic twinkle in her eye:
-Carlos, are you asking me to be the titular Lord of the City?
Carlos ducked his head and gave her a kiss on the lips, kindly admitting:
-Well, soft woman, you don’t need to be a strong woman when I’m around.
Micaela’s heart swelled with emotion and her eyes sparkled slightly as she looked at him and asked:
-But isn’t it wrong to be the man ‘behind’ me? I am the Lord of the City, but you do the work.
Carlos’ thin lips quirked into a smile and kissed her again.
-Who made you my Micaela?
Micaela was full of sweetness, no mention of the antidote that was going nowhere, no mention of “what am I going to do if you leave Salamonsa”, and for the last month, the two have deliberately avoided these issues and are just happy to be together….
If there had been progress, Carlos would have told her without her asking, and it was because there was no progress that she kept her mouth shut….
Carlos let go of her chin and proceeded to take her by the hand and open the door to leave.
Diego was already waiting downstairs, smiling and waving when he saw them come down holding hands.
-Mr. Carlos, Miss Micaela.
Micaela smiles back at Diego and looks at Sara, the nanny, who approaches with Mike in her arms.
Within a month, Mike had gone from weighing two kilos at birth to four, and his arms and legs had become fleshier in the bath.
For the first 10 minutes or so, Micaela had just finished feeding him and this would be just in time for bed, Mike is getting clingy and has started to not want anyone but her and Carlos at night in the last few days, Sara cries when she carries him on….
Looking down at her son in Sara’s arms, Micaela wanted to hug him, but she was about to leave for the Assembly Hall and both Mom and Grandma should already be there….
The food is ready for Mike when he wakes up, but Micaela is still very reluctant to part with her son, from the slightest strangeness when he was born to the deep feeling that “he is a piece of her flesh” and that she wants to give him all her love. Micaela can’t imagine how she would survive if Anlandana were returned to her….
-Let’s go, we’ll be back soon.
Carlos squeezes the small hand in his palm.
Micaela leans over and gives her son a soft kiss on the forehead before obediently leaving with Carlos.
Diego opened the back seat and as soon as Carlos sat in it he reached out and flipped the switch, the compartment with the front seat slowly rose up, Micaela instantly became alert, what did Carlos want?
As the car started, Carlos reached out his long arms and took her in his arms, his acid tone echoing in her ears.
-Kissing another man in front of me, huh?
Micaela rested her hands on the man’s hard chest and, between tears and laughter, lowered her voice and said:
-Carlos, that’s enough, he’s your son…..
Carlos tightens his arms and whispers:
-You can’t kiss my son either, you can only kiss me!
Micaela protests:
-Carlos you are a minor….
Carlos kisses her hard and immediately.
After a long while, Micaela, breathless from the kiss, cuddled in his arms, listening to the strong beating of his heart, came to the conclusion that
Next time her own son will remember to be in Carlos’s absence, this overbearer is childish and jealous of his own son!
Twenty minutes later, the car pulled up to the most stately assembly hall in Echave City.
This is where the entire backbone of Echave City that shares the management of Echave City is summoned when there are important matters, where the meeting of all the lords of Salamonsa is held in turn, and where the successive lords of the new city of Echave City are delivered on stage.
The Assembly Hall has been renovated over several generations and is very opulent, with an overall white exterior, a roof of original shapes and well-kept vegetation all around. At this hour there are already many cars parked in the parking lot outside, and there are many people strolling around inside the Assembly Hall in the wide square in front of it, as well as many journalists and photographers carrying long guns.
When a new lord takes office, the other cities that are vacant make a point of approaching, and this year, Carlos’ move shocked the whole of Salamonsa, and more so when people from the ten cities of Salamonsa came.
Carlos got out of the car with Micaela and Diego and went to the entrance of the Assembly Hall.
-I heard that Moya’s husband is very handsome! I just ran to see him to offer him to come!
-Is it so exaggerated? I have been aesthetically tired for a long time of seeing our Salamonsa handsome men and women everywhere, where there are still people who stand out?
-Hey don’t tell me, I have heard of him too, one of my little cousins is a nurse in the maternity unit of the hospital and she saw him in person and said that not only was he gorgeous, but he was so considerate and caring with Moya that after they were discharged, the little nurses were not even that motivated to go to work!
Carlos and Micaela, Diego blended into the crowd, everyone was walking towards the entrance of the Assembly Hall and no one noticed that the party was near….
Listening to their excited chatter, Carlos was calm as if he hadn’t heard, and Diego was calm, that’s how good his lord Carlos was!
Micaela was speechless, she looked at Carlos next to her and felt the impulse to hide him, there are so many reporters today, Carlos can go unnoticed, after they report, it will be known all over Salamonsa, then how many women will be eyeing him….
Wait!
Micaela’s feet stopped suddenly and her eyes fell on the big hand holding his….
In that case, would Carlos’ father, or a handful of relatives, have seen Carlos?
Will you recognize him?
Will you come to meet him?
