Estre Berrocal sat on the stairs, hugging herself, in silence for a long, long time.


    In my ears, Are Rouco’s voice still echoes repeatedly.


    “Don’t you know? Brother has made an appointment for a doctor to operate on you…”


    Estre Berrocal remained seated for a long time with her ashen face.


    Is this child … who can’t keep after all?


    She closed her eyes softly and her tears, atst, slipped away.


    …N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Estre Berrocal went to the hospital alone.


    Sitting in the doctor’s office, he looked at the test report and sighed: “Miss Estre, this baby, it is better to abort it as soon as possible, it will do you less harm. You are still very young, there are many possibilities of having childrenter on”.


    Estre Berrocal left the hospital in a state of emotional turmoil.


    He didn’t want to go home and just walked aimlessly down the road.


    Unaware that he was on his way to a ruined church, he entered it, closed his eyes before the cross and prayed silently.


    “Baby, mommy is sorry, if mommy had been more careful, you could havee to the human world, it’s my fault …. you must go to the other world happily, next time, you will be reborn in my belly, I will protect you well.”


    …


    A ck van is parked not far from the church.


    “Hey Miss Are, Estre Berrocal is in a hidden and deteriorated chapel, do you want to attack now?”


    “Don’t show your face!”


    …


    Estre Berrocal was in the church for an unknown period of time, and when she left the church, her mouth was suddenly covered with a piece of cloth and she struggled desperately, but quickly became disoriented.


    “Start it up!”


    Stunned, Estre Berrocal did not know where she was and, when she awoke, she was blindfolded with a ck cloth and it was pitch dark. She tried to move, but found her hands and feet bound in a deadly manner.


    “Who are you, what do you want?”


    “We don’t want anything, we’re just following the orders of a man who wants you to disappear.”


    Estre Berrocal’s heart fluttered: “Who?”.


    “We have noment on that.”


    Estre Berrocal resisted: “Let me go! If my husband finds out I’m gone, he’ll look for me everywhere! To the man who told him to kill me, I’ll give him double the money he paid me.”


    The two men burst outughing: “Do you take us for fools? Now that we have kidnapped you, if we let you go again, not only will you not give us double the money, but you will call the police to arrest us! Be honest and maybe we’ll give you a piece of our mind.”


    Estre Berrocal’s heart, raised to her throat.


    In my head, a jumble.


    Who was it that wanted to kill her?


    …


    Are Rouco is in her room, pacing back and forth absentmindedly with her phone.


    Shoshana Duque knocked on the door, startling her and dropping the phone in her hand.


    Shoshana Duque came in with a tray of fruit and looked at her with surprise: “Are, why are you so pale? Are you sick? Is something wrong?”.


    Shoshana Duque put down her te of fruit and reached out to touch Are Rouco’s forehead, who shook her head, “Mom, I, I’m fine…”


    The phone, which had fallen to the floor, suddenly rang and Shoshana Duque bent down to pick it up.


    Are Rouco was so tense that her whole body was immobilized, as if she could not move.


    Shoshana Duque looked at the caller ID, a number she didn’t recognize, frowned and asked her daughter, “Are, who’s calling?”


    “No, it’s nobody’s phone!”


    Are Rouco picked up the phone and hung up.


    Shoshana Duque stared at her and felt nothing but strangeness.


    Not long after, the call, again, came.


    Shoshana Duque frowned, “Who the hell is calling and why isn’t he answering?”.


    Are Rouco suddenly copsed and fell to her knees next to Shoshana Duque’s legs, “Mama, help me…. help me…”


    Shoshana Duque was startled and bent down to pull her, “What’s wrong with you? Silly girl, if anything happens to you, Mommy will save you. Get up, do you hear me?”.


    Are Rouco sobbed breathlessly, “Mom, if you don’t say yes, I won’t get up …”.


    “What the hell is this now?”


    “Mom, I, I, I sent someone to kidnap Estre Berrocal…”


    “What did you say?” Shoshana Duque’s gaze twitched.


    Are Rouco swallowed saliva and said, “Mom, Mom, listen to me, thest time I went to see Dad at the hospital, I heard him say that Dad said he was going to give half of hisst name to that Estre Berrocal … Mom, herst name is not Fu, and she is not Dad’s daughter! Why would she get half of the property? Mom, it doesn’t seem fair to you and me … that’s why …”


    Shoshana Duque let out two guffaws and plopped down on the edge of the bed, “Your father gives half of his name to Estre Berrocal?”


    “Yes … I heard it with my own ears.”


    Are Rouco knelt down in front of Shoshana Duque, grabbed her hand and shook it tightly, “Mom, what the hell do you think I should do now? If daddy and brother find out that I have kidnapped Estre Berrocal, they will send me to the police … Mom, I don’t want to go to jail! Mom… I really don’t want to go to jail”.


    Shoshana Duque’s eyes grew cold as she took her daughter’s hand and calmly said, “Are, get up first, let’s talk about this long term issue.”


    “Mom, what the hell am I going to do…”


    “Estre Berrocal now, where is she?”


    “I don’t know, I just told the two men who kidnapped her to send her as far away as possible, preferably never to return to The Holy City. ”


    “So, these two men who kidnapped Estre Berrocal, are they trustworthy?”


    Are Rouco shook her head: “Mom, I don’t know…. mom, I really don’t want to go to jail … help me … ”


    Shoshana Duque patted her daughter’s back and said, “Are, don’t worry, you’re the only daughter Mommy has, Mommy won’t let you go to jail, and since your father is so desperate, don’t me us for being heartless.”


    “Mom, what do you want to do?”


    “One way or another, may Estre Berrocal die peacefully, without a trace.”


    Are Rouco’s pupils shuddered hard and her little face went white.


    “Mom, dad and brother, are they going to find out?”


    “Calm down, when this is over, Mom will send you back to Ennd and after that, you’ll nevere back.”


    …


    Adán Rouco had just finished a meeting when he received a call from Fresco Rouco.


    “Hello, Uncle Two.”


    “Adam, I just took Are Rouco to the door to apologize to Estre, but when I got there, I realized that Estre hadn’t heard about …’s baby, and I saw that she seemed to be in a very bad mood, and I thought and thought about it, but I wasn’t sure. So a call for you.”


    Adán Rouco’s dark eyes narrowed fiercely as he hung up the phone and immediately called Estre Berrocal.


    But the phone rang for a long time and remained unanswered.


    Santino Yepes picked up his material and entered the office and said, “Chief, there is a videoconference to be heldter, here is the information”.


    “The meeting iste and I have to go home, something may have happened to Estre. ”


    Adán Rouco kept calling Estre Berrocal while driving, but the calls were cut off.


    When the car returned to The Vis at Repulse Bay, Adán Rouco rushed inside with his long legs and searched the entire upstairs and downstairs, but could not find the person of Estre Berrocal.


    And they did not take away his cell phone, which was on the coffee table in the living room.
