Chapter 1131: The Devil’s Trap (1)
Micaela was a little surprised when she got the call from Dario.
“Micaela, I just got off the plane and I’m in The Holy City. I wanted to see you at … and whatever your decision is, I just wanted to ask for clarification without remorse. Even if in the end your decision does not change again, I will choose to give you my blessing. But until then, give me a sympathetic death, I don’t think that, in these years, you have really … have forgotten me.
It is said that a young man’s heart is a lifelong bond, and Dario is not convinced that Micaela no longer has a heart for him.
He prefers to believe that this is a deliberate act of revenge by Micaela against him, even if in the eyes of others it looks like a form of ego and narcissism.
Dario is a man who won’t die until he hits a wall.
Micaela laughed softly and said, “You’re still as stubborn and selfish as ever.”
“Think of it as a meal and a catch up, it’s not that important to see me, or is it that you’re afraid that seeing me will influence you to marry Nico?”
Micaela let out a laugh, “Dario, you always have a way of provoking me. Give me the address.”
Micaela doesn’t apologize because she has no distractions for Dario, and not only leaves, but takes the wedding invitation to Nico.
A restaurant with specialized cuisine.
Dario ordered all of Micaela’s favorite dishes.
Micaela asked, as usual, “Why are you suddenly coming home, aren’t you busy with business in England?”
Dario said bluntly, “Busy, but when I heard you were getting married, I flew home right away and wanted to ask for clarification.”
Micaela listens, unhurriedly. She has always admired Dario, and although she no longer likes him, she is willing to be friends with this person, but only common friends with whom she does not often contact.
But if Dario had thought of her differently, she might have cut him off completely, but the reason Micaela was willing to stay in touch with him was that she knew Dario was a sensible man who would not cross the line.
Micaela took the wedding invitation out of her purse and handed it to Dario, “This is my wedding invitation. At first, I didn’t want to give you the news, it seemed very unethical to send a wedding invitation to an ex-boyfriend like that, but I sent that email in a mass mailing and I’m sorry for any misunderstanding it caused you. But I walk a straight line, and now that you know the news, I will invite you to my wedding ceremony, whether you come or not.”
He said it with a droopy, unpretentious gesture, not giving an iota of room for fantasy.
Dario took the wedding invitation, looked at it carefully, raised his eyes to stare at her and asked, “Micaela, I want to know, since when have you really forgotten about me?”
Micaela stood thinking for a moment, a little unsure, but sure: “After we met again when you came home, I was completely over you, I was only upset that you had abandoned me without a word, but when you showed up, I realized that I had stopped loving you, I only felt sorry for myself, that I had been abandoned without a word. You have to admit that the way you left was special and memorable enough to last a lifetime. ”
Darius frowned slightly, a little puzzled, “Because of the unspoken goodbye?”
“You could have scalded me to death with boiling water or cooled me with ice water, but you chose the most unforgiving way to wear me down, which was to wear me down with lukewarm water, and leave in a way even more so, where outright rejection is always a hundred times kinder than seeing an unanswered message. You got me to hold a grudge against you for years. In fact, if you had never shown up and never heard from me, I probably wouldn’t have been able to fall in love with anyone else in my life, because I would never have been able to get over that heartbreak, I would have been forever haunted by the abandoned me without a word, and I would have sunk forever in the stigma I felt towards you.”
Micaela hooked her lips and said crisply, “If you have to ask for clarity, it was actually your reappearance that made me realize that I was in love with Nico, that I had long since stopped caring about you, and that I only felt sorry for having been abandoned by you in the past.”
Darius lost his smile and laughed helplessly, “So, instead, I’m the one behind the murder of my own latest possibility? Was it me who drove you completely to Nico?”
“Yes.”
Darius didn’t know what mood he was in, and for a moment he was overwhelmed by mixed emotions, “Micaela, this is the deepest revenge and punishment you have inflicted on me, I once made you hold a grudge for several years, but now you have managed to make me regret it and wet myself for the rest of my life.”
“Not necessarily, life is so long, who knows what kind of person you will meet after two or three years, like me, I met such a stunning person when I was young, but later, didn’t I also meet someone who made me feel even more stunning and I was voluntarily tied to a marriage role for the rest of my life. I guess it’s fate, it doesn’t make sense.”
Darius had already stood up, his eyes full of despair, but he smiled and said, “May we say goodbye and be happy together. I won’t be at the wedding, I can’t see you becoming someone else’s bride.”
Dario left, gentlemanly, calm and level-headed, without a hint of panic or distress.
Micaela called out to him, “Dario.”
Dario glanced slightly out of the corner of his eye, pausing in his pacing to wait for her words.
Micaela said, “again meet again like people, do not let your waiting again hopeless, will go on, people like to entangle, entangled in people or things unconsciously in energy and feelings, you really shake a sleeve to go such a character, can make people unforgettable for life, but ultimately can not afford to love, too noble, will make people intimidated. ”
Darius did not say much, just smiled slightly.
I wanted to say something, but I did not.
Micaela once said that what she liked most about him was his nobility, but this nobility became the most deadly weapon in the relationship.
She suddenly understood why she had lost to Nico.
After all, he didn’t have the player’s dead skin or a lower limit.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
But Micaela doesn’t know that she may never meet another person she likes again, and she won’t have the chance to be a relationship player for once.
…
Dario didn’t want to be rude and wanted to disappear in a polished, gentlemanly way.
But after so many years of emotions, he desperately needed an outlet to get rid of them.
Drinking and drunk driving is probably the most ridiculous thing Dario has ever done in his life.
Late at night, after eleven o’clock, Micaela is sitting on the carpet putting together a puzzle.
Piece by piece, there are thousands of puzzles coming together to complete the picture of her with Nico.
So hard to finish.
Micaela looked at the time, eleven thirty, Nico would be back tonight at night, he had informed her in advance that he would land at three in the morning.
Micaela decided to get some sleep and squint for a while before picking Nico up at the airport first thing in the morning.
Just as I was about to go to bed, the phone rang.
“Hello, this is La Ciudad Santa New Town police station, is there a Dario you know?”
Dario?
“Conscience.”
The superintendent said over the phone, “Here’s the thing, he had a DUI, he was very unconscious, we took him back to the police station, he kept calling Micaela’s name on the way, so we got your number from his phone contacts, if it’s convenient for you, come to the police station now and bail him out.”
It was unbelievable that Dario had drunk to that extent.
Micaela was a little surprised, “Yes, I’m on my way.”
Before Micaela left, she couldn’t help but look back at the completed puzzle and smiled weakly.
We settled Dario in just in time to pick Nico up at the airport and take him home.
After so many days without seeing each other, the emotion of missing him is like a tentacle growing vines and crawling all over my heart.
Unaware that she has fallen into a devil’s trap, she and Dario are in it.
…
Micaela was driving, the roads were bad at night, and halfway there the tires cut out.
Micaela got out of the car to check the condition of the tires. She was bending down to look at the tires when suddenly a handkerchief was placed over her mouth and nose.
Shortly thereafter, Micaela fainted and became unconscious.
Kemena, dressed in black, wearing a duck tongue hat and mask, handed the clerk two syringes and gave him serious instructions, “Ask someone to go to the police station and bail Dario out, but remember, make sure you get someone who doesn’t know anything about this to bail him out, give him a cash sum afterwards, and don’t let the bail bondsman see you. Just bring Dario. The two syringes are little things, when you take Dario and Micaela to the hotel, give them each a shot and destroy the evidence too, if you leave any traces, I won’t be able to get away with it and neither will you.”
The man in black put Micaela in the car and was about to close the door when Kemena frowned and said coldly, “Wait a minute.”
Kemena took her phone out of Micaela’s bag and checked Micaela’s messages with Nico before sending a WhatsApp to Nico: “Nico, when you get off the plane tonight, meet me at the Intercontinental Hotel in room 1314, I have a surprise for you.”
After sending it successfully, Kemena immediately turned off Micaela’s phone and put it back in her bag, closed the car door and said to the clerk, “Go on, do a clean job, don’t leave any loose ends, I have asked someone from the hotel to greet you, they will erase all surveillance of your check-in and check-out. Time is limited, make it quick.”
In the darkness, Kemena’s mouth curved into a sinister smile.
-Micaela, this time, I will, for all intents and purposes, make you irretrievable.
