Carlos and Micaela’s bridal car was in full battle for the steering wheel, with Carlos reaching his body into the front cabin, gripping the back of the driver’s seat with one hand to steady himself and reaching out the other to grab the steering wheel, pulling back several times because he was about to run off the road and crash into oncoming cars….
Micaela sat in the back seat and was so dizzy that she felt like throwing up. If Carlos hadn’t fastened his seatbelt when he noticed the fault, she would have been thrown against the window glass by the terrifying speed and the huge roll…
-Natalia, stop the car!
Carlos roars.
Yes, the person sitting in the driver’s seat, with the duck-tongued hat and gray suit, is none other than Natalia!
The car zigzagging in and out of traffic, scared the opposite direction of the car have been chaotic, several cars to avoid, directly into the guardrail ….
Natalia gripped the steering wheel firmly, the knots of her bony fingers white, showing how much strength she was using, but still unable to compete with the strength of Carlos, with a frown, and spoke indifferently:
-Carlos, you’re afraid, aren’t you? I’ll let Micaela live if you promise to come back to Teladia with me and never see her again.
Micaela’s heart stuttered as Natalia continued:
-Carlos, you and Micaela are not made for each other, come back to Teladia with me and together we will dominate the business sector of Teladia and then we will gradually expand our sphere of influence, that’s what you must do…..
-I’m not interested in deceiving you, and the biggest mistake I ever made in my life was not killing you directly with that knife! Now, stop the car for me!
Carlos grips the steering wheel with his eyes on the road, watching another car on the opposite side of the road crash into the guardrail to avoid him, the air pressure in his body getting lower and lower….
He regretted beyond measure that he had let her go in that dilapidated warehouse.
He shouldn’t have softened at Javier’s plea, he should have killed her without hesitation!
That bad decision is what gave this woman the opportunity today, to ruin his wedding with the girl and put her in such a dangerous position now!
The phone in his pocket was ringing over and over again, he knew it had to be Tomas, Ernesto and the others, but he simply couldn’t spare his hand to answer it, there was no telling what dangerous actions this crazy woman might take if they let go of her hand….
-Hahahaha…
Natalia was silent for a few seconds, then she laughed, a very open laughter, with a tear that made Micaela’s heart rise up again with force….
She stomped on the accelerator and turned the steering wheel hard, trying to ram the car into the traffic circle in front of her; hitting it at that speed would be a real disaster!
-The car would stop, of course, but not now. Yes, that really was silly, I already knew that if you regained your memory and remembered Micaela, I would have nothing, not only would you take everything I have now, but you would also take my life, and now that that ‘if’ has happened, I will die and drag you down with me!
Natalia’s voice is full of hysteria….
Carlos gritted his teeth and turned the steering wheel hard again, avoiding the traffic circle, the passenger window was open and the wind was rushing in, ruffling Carlos’s hair….
Micaela clutched the seat belt around her chest, repressing the feeling of vomiting and trying to communicate with her:
-Natalia, calm down, when people die there is nothing left, let’s talk about it…..
Natalia interrupted her immediately:
-That’s easy for you to say! How can I negotiate? I want the Aguayo Group, can you give it to me? I want Carlos, the perfect man, can you give him to me?
Micaela, clinging to the railing above the wagon, leaned forward and said with some emotion:
-No! Neither of us! Natalia, why do you have to be so paranoid, it’s clear you don’t love Carlos?
-Who says I’m not in love? Would I have gone to such lengths to pursue Salamonsa if I didn’t love him? Would I have tried to make him forget about you? Even if it meant being your double?
Carlos frowned and just felt a twinge of nausea at those words, his eyes glanced in the rearview mirror and saw a bridal car approaching far behind….
Carlos glanced sideways at the girl and Micaela returned his gaze and nodded in seconds….
Carlos wants me to divert Natalia’s attention….
Micaela took a deep breath, her tone calmed down for a few moments and her voice increased deliberately:
-No, Natalia don’t you feel slapped for saying something like that? You really loved Carlos, you should have found out that he had disappeared from Teladia, you should have chased him all the way here, but you didn’t because you were so happy you had everything you wanted, you couldn’t wait for Carlos to never come back, but you found out from the two Efraim brothers that Carlos had recovered his memory, so sooner or later he would return to Teladia and get back everything that was his. That’s why you are anxious, Natalia, you love power and position, not Carlos.
Natalia scoffed, not bothering to dissimulate after Micaela had confirmed her suspicions in her mouth.
-Only now it’s completely clear to me why I didn’t wait for Efraim when I arrived yesterday afternoon, but for Carlos instead. It was they who invited me to work with them, and now it is they who have turned against me.
As she spoke, she tried again to ram the car into oncoming traffic and was pushed back by Carlos…..
Micaela’s voice rang out:
-No, they simply know that their actions were wrong and they have lost the north, Natalia, there are many good men in the world, isn’t it Javier who is next to you.
Javier…
Natalia froze slightly as the fresh, clean scent of Carlos lingered around her, however, she had a momentary jolt as she remembered another familiar scent, a familiar male voice ringing in her head:
-Natalia…
