77 - Congratulations is…

A week had passed since Sebastian's escape.

Alan had been cunning, he had asked his hitmen to hide his brother's body in a place where no one could ever find it.

Once the men had confirmed that their job was done, he did what any brother would do.

Speak publicly of his older brother's disappearance, with an expression of anguish and grief that no one doubted for a second was not real.

The news of the disappearance of the heir of Industrias Aller S.A. quickly became relevant.

Sebastian had never been a man who liked to show his face in public, but people quickly became interested in the case, and no one talked about anything else but the young businessman who had disappeared overnight.

No one understood why, there seemed to be no reasonable explanation. The man did not seem to have any enemies, as he was low profile.

The police knew from the first moment they had a complicated case.

His face in all the media made it difficult for the CEO to flee and disappear. He had to make himself even more invisible, changed his appearance, wearing second-hand clothes, shopping in towns far from the cities. He wore sunglasses and a cap and had decided to grow a beard and hair.

He had to turn off his phone and stop using his cards, he was grateful to have with him an amount of cash that would last him just long enough to be able to come back with more strength. Especially since he would not make unnecessary expenses. Only on cheap food and lodging in one-star places.

As soon as he had fled from his assassination attempt he had gone to a small medical room in a remote village, where they asked no questions and were able to remove the bullet quickly. Suturing the wound.

He was now limping a bit as he walked, something that served to confuse people even more. That man dressed in rags and with a gimpy leg could not be the CEO of a multinational company.

He left his car abandoned, far away from where he stayed, so that for the investigators it would be a clue that would lead them to a dead end.

It was already dark when he crossed the street and approached a pay phone and dialed the number of his old friend Erik.

-Hello," said the unmistakable voice of his friend on the other end of the tube.

-Erik ....," muttered the young CEO, looking around paranoid.

-Sebastian," he shouted in disbelief, "I'm going to faint...".

-Lower your voice...

-I'm sorry for getting excited because my friend is not really dead in a ditch or cut to pieces, where are you? Everyone is looking for you....

-Listen Erik, I can't tell you where I am, I know that your big mouth can't keep a secret.

-You're cruel... I missed that," he sobbed.

Sebastian rolled his eyes

-Concentrate, Erik. I need you to help me with something, I need you to look for information on my mother's whereabouts.

-You've gone crazy, did you hit your head? Please come back...

-I've never been saner in my life, my friend.

-You're scaring me Sebas...

-I can't tell you everything that happened, old friend, all I ask is discretion and that you stay away from Alan.

-From your brother?

-Don't go near him, don't listen to him.

-All right, but I don't understand about your mother. ....

-I think she's alive, Erik.

-That can't be... that...

-Yes, it sucks. But I need you to take care of looking for her, I can't do it, my face is everywhere. I'll give you a month and I'll call you back on your phone. Please don't say anything, did you hear me?

-Wait Sebas...

But the young CEO cut the call.

Now he just had to stay in the shadows, praying that his friend would get the information while he recovered from the gunshot wound.

He closed his eyes and thought of the beautiful face of his redhead. She smiled sadly, knowing that, as much as she hated David, the man would take care of her for him and better than he did.

-Miss Aller," exclaimed a doctor in the clinic waiting room.

-Yes, it's me," exclaimed Katlyn, going to the consultation room, finding Alan following behind her.

-Did you expect me to let you go in alone," he murmured, entering with her.

-Is he your husband?" the doctor asked kindly.

-Katlyn started to say.

-Yes, I am," said Alan, putting his arm over the blonde's shoulder and kissing her forehead, "We are very excited to find out the sex of our baby. Aren't we, honey?

-Yes..." The young woman could barely say.

Ever since the news of Sebastian's disappearance filled the media, Katlyn knew she would never see her beloved Sebastian again. And Alan had seen to that.

-Okay, let's do it then," said the doctor, helping Katlyn lie down on the stretcher, "Let's see....

Katlyn bit the inside of her cheek until it bled, she didn't feel able to look at the monitor, she was afraid, very afraid.

She didn't know which was worse, if it was a boy she was doomed to live as a prisoner of that monster, but if it was a girl she feared things could be worse.

"What if Alan went crazy and hurt her baby?"

The very idea frightened her even more.

-"Well, are you ready to find out?" said the doctor excitedly.

-Oh, yes," said the youngest Aller cheerfully, holding the blonde's hand tightly.

Katlyn didn't say anything, she just felt like fainting at that very moment.

-Congratulations, it's a boy.

Alan gave a shout of celebration, which made the young woman almost cry with terror, thinking that Alan was going to hit her.

Then it dawned on her that her baby was a boy.

-We're going to have a boy," the CEO shouted excitedly, grabbing the blonde's face and kissing it. Then he hugged her and whispered in her ear:

-Very good Katlyn, I knew you wouldn't let me down.

Katlyn felt tears fall from her face and a chain was tied to her ankle.

-Oh... my wife is sensitive, she cries from happiness," exclaimed the young man, wiping away the blonde's tears.
