Chapter 85

CARLOS

As soon as Ana said that, I realized what I thought is true. That bitch was involved in all this, and Gabriela knew it too, so I'm not sure what she's doing, but I'm going to accompany her. The thing about Angela wasn't true, obviously, but they believed it and that's the important thing, because they would stop us from doing whatever we were going to do, for me I would kill her right now. Was my sister's fault for her hatred towards Gabriela? It no made sense for her to hate Gabriela, but messing with the people she loves is not the most sensible thing for Paula to do.

I left the hospital looking for her, and looking for half an hour or so, and when I thought, she had gone to look for that bitch on her own, I found her talking on the phone, well, or rather, arguing with someone, so I slowly approach her so she can continue her discussion. "How is there not enough evidence Santi?... Damn, she sent me some messages telling me if I enjoyed her surprise, and now Ana is hospitalized because of that bitch... They have to investigate the number from which they sent me the message, they have to do something for once in their fucking life… I know you can't get involved in their work and I understand it, but if they don't do it, I'll do it… I don't care, Santi…"

With that she hung up and looked at her cell phone for a couple of seconds before starting to walk towards the parking lot. "Hey, you're not going to leave without me, you can be sure about that." I said before she left without me "What the hell are you doing here?" She asked angrily. "The same reason you're leaving, because of what that bitch did to my sister."

"What are you taking about?" Gabriela asked, playing dumb, but I knew I'm not wrong about this. "Don't play dumb because we both know Paula is behind all this, the messages are a clear declaration of war against you." I informed "What messages are you talking about?" She asked, this time confused, "I'm talking about the ones I saw on your phone. Also, I'm not deaf and I hear when someone is arguing outside a hospital saying Ana is admitted because of her."

"I don't know who the hell gave you my password, but I don't care, you're going to stay at the hospital while I figure this out." She said seriously, "No, little sister, I'm not going to leave you with this alone, she messed with the wrong person and now she's going to pay the consequences." I assured her because if I wanted something more than anything in this world, it was to put an end to that bitch for what she had done to my sister and for what she's doing to Gabriela. "I don't want you to get into trouble Carlos, I can take care of it myself."

"And I don't doubt it, but Paula dared to mess with one of the people we love most in this world and we're not going to let that happen, am I wrong?" I asked, knowing what her answer is going to be. "No, you're not wrong." She admitted, "Well, let's put an end to that bitch." I said with a big smile on my face "Come on, I know where to find her, she sent me a message about where she would be."

"And you really want me to let you go alone? That one is plotting to do something to you." I said and all Gabriela did was shrug her shoulders "I don't care what happens to me and you know it." She reported, "I know, but not to me, and if something happened to you, Alex would kill me first." I assured, knowing it would be something he would do "Alex can't find out about this, I don't want to get him into trouble." Gabriela said seriously. "You know as soon as he finds out we're not in the hospital, he'll start looking for you like crazy, but as long as our cover lasts, everything will be fine."

"What exactly did you tell them?" Gabriela asked curiously, "That you would be talking to your grandmother, and she asked me not to bother you, she would be with you for a while, and I was going to talk on the phone, important call." I revealed and she shook her head with a small smile on her face. "Then let's go before they suspect we won't be at the hospital."

We quickly headed to Gabriela's car since she had taken her car keys from Marcos' pocket, although it's not necessary because she had taken my brothers from Alex's pocket, so at least we're covered in that matter. They wouldn't follow us for a while.

When we got to the place where that bitch said she would be waiting for Gabriela, she parked the car and we went out to the place where we could see her, and I had to stop Gabriela before she got into real trouble but before I could stop her, Gabriela ran towards her direction.

"You're a fucking slut Paula." I was going to reach her when a man stopped what Gabriela was going to do and at first glance, I didn't recognize him and I was going to push him away unless I heard Gabriela call him by name, otherwise I would hit him hard.

"Santi, let go of me." Gabriela asked through clenched teeth, "I'm not going to do it, as I told you once, I'm not going to put you in jail for what you're thinking about doing." The man assured, "I DON'T CARE EXACTLY YOU PUT ME IN THE CELL, THIS BITCH HAS HURT MY DAUGHTER." Gabriela shouted in frustration. "Gabriela, I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Don't play dumb Paula because you sent Gabriela a message telling her where you were and you hoped she enjoyed your surprise." I said through clenched teeth, trying to contain my anger and not go and break her face myself. "Me? I didn't send any message to her. I don't even know her phone number. How do you expect me to send her a message?" She asked with a smile on her face, provoking Gabriela more "LET ME GO SANTI!!!!"

"No, we're going to get out of here, you shouldn't be here to begin with, you should be with Ana who must be wondering where you are." The man said in an attempt to convince Gabriela, "Okay, okay, but now let me go."

This was weird. It's not normal for Gabriela to stop being angry in less than half a second, it's not normal for her and before both me and Santi could do anything, Gabriela turns around and hits Paula. "Now you can take me to the cell. You better learn to mess with anyone I love, bitch."

"I'm going to report you and they'll put you in jail, you'll see." Paula said angrily, "I don't care as long as you leave my family, my daughter and the people I love alone." Gabriela responded "It isn't necessary to come to that, she will be in the cell for a couple of hours." Santi informed "Well, for now I will settle for that, but know this won't remain like this Gabriela."

"Are you threatening her? Because you know that's a reason to go to jail." The agent reported, "I'm just saying, I didn't say at any time it was a threat." Paula replied, "Well, let it be clear to you if something happens to this girl or someone close to her, I'll go to your house and have you investigated for whatever happens to them."

"Is that a threat agent?" the girl asked with a smile on her face "Warning, now let's get out of here before I have to lock you up too Carlos." The man asked, "I'm not going to do anything." I assured even though I was not lacking in desire, "Let's go." With that we started walking towards the car in which Santi had come and put Gabriela in it.

"Are you really going to put her in the cell?" I asked, surprised he's going to do it. "Well, of course, it's my job and despite my warning, she still hit that girl, I have no choice." The agent said sadly, "But…" I began to protest, "But nothing, I have to do my job."

"Carlos." At that moment we both turned in the direction of Gabriela who's looking at us. "He's doing his job, leave him and go to your sister." My best friend asked, "I'm going with you, I'm not going to leave you alone." I assured, "I'll be fine, don't worry about me. Now who you have to worry about is Ana, that's the only thing that matters."

"You matter too." I said "Okay, maybe, but I need to know how they are, and if I call the rest they will ask me where I am and I don't want them to worry about what might happen to me, I'm fine, after all. " She assured, "And how do you expect them not to worry about you when they realize you're not in the hospital, or with your grandmother or me?"

"You'll find a way to make them not worry about that, but you have to go with them to get that information." Gabriela insisted, "I keep thinking I shouldn't go, I should accompany you." I answered even though I had a slight idea she wasn't going to change her mind. "Carlos, we're talking about Santi, she won't let me lack anything and I'm sure she'll keep me from getting into more trouble, right?"

"Yeah." The man responded, "See? Now stop worrying and go with the others. Take care of Ana." She asked, "I will, but they will eventually find out where you are." I said, "They won't find out because you're going to act wonderful and keep them from finding out." Gabriela replied, "Whatever you want, but now don't get into any more trouble that you've already gotten yourself into."

"I won't get into any more trouble; go, I don't want them to get neurotic." She said, "You better not do it, because if you don't, you're going to know how angry I am." I informed her and she rolled her eyes. "I know that better than anyone, so there's nothing I need to worry about or that I can't control."

"Now go Carlos, I don't think you want me to spend any more time in there." The man said and I nodded "Okay, I'll go." With that I got into the car and drove to the hospital. The only thing I know is she's going to have someone other than Santi with her, and even though I wasn't going to tell everyone, I'm going to tell someone. I'm sure she'll kill me, but it's important for him to know, so I would tell him.
