The Dark Secret of the Actress
Chapter 53 RGSA - Are You Sure Tatiana Will Wake Up?

Catalina turned her head and saw Nick staring blankly at her bedroom door. Knowing what the man was thinking, he asked, "So. you know?" he asked in a low voice, barely audible.

"Of course I know."

"I thought so" replied Catalina. There was not the slightest surprise on his face. Which means he expected it.

Tatiana's life and how dark the girl's life is, Catalina has been suspicious of Nick from the start. Although the man did not say anything, he found it strange that a manager knew nothing about the life of his artist.

"I also don't think you'd be surprised. And it turns out, right, you weren't surprised in the least." Nick never exalts his own abilities, which is why he believes Catalina is the one who can free Tatiana from the snare of sin. After all Catalina is her twin sister, they probably have some kind of telepathy and Catalina obviously knows what's good for her.

Catalina chuckles. "My instincts are never wrong." He folded his legs and propped up his chin using his hands with his elbows as a pedestal. "And I couldn't possibly give my cheer to a striped-nose man." Although in the end he handed over his teachings to Sehan, but the man was different. She loved. So it's okay to give the first one of hers to the one she loves.

"I knew you'd choose that choice." Nick always believed in his own instincts. Rather than surrender her virginity to them, she believes Catalina prefers death.

For a person who is arrogant and always upholds self-esteem, there is nothing more important than self-esteem. They were even willing to lose his life as long as his pride was not tarnished.

At first Nick did not understand the principle, but lately he became understand.

"And you just shut up?" ask Catalina.

"What can I do? This is what Tatiana wanted."

Catalina frowned. "This is what he wants?" Not likely. Since when was Tatiana willing to survive in the shackles of others? Living in darkness, living with wounds, living in fear, living as fireflies serving striped-nose men?

All of this, not life. Death is slow.

Nick nodded. "Yes, he doesn't want to destroy the career he's built since young. To reach that level, a lot of sacrifices, hard work, and tears were shed. Let's say Tatiana was stupid for protecting her trash family. But it makes sense to look back at the struggles of his career." Nick never blames, nor will he judge, whatever Tatiana's decision, whatever she chooses, is impossible without thought.

The girl may have thought about it over and over again, thinking about it to the point of not being able to sleep, and that choice, because Tatiana had already chosen that path, as her manager, as her, he may not support a clearly wrong path but he will keep his mouth shut and keep his secret as best he can.

Catalina took a long breath. Rather than protecting the trash family, he preferred the phrase 'protect himself'. Because what Tatiana thought about was her name and career, not her family.

"So, let me ask you, now what are you going to do?" Nick looked at Catalina seriously. In the past, he followed everything Tatiana said, but since the girl was still in the hospital and had not regained consciousness while Catalina was here, he would leave all the decisions to this girl.

Catalina hid her face. "Give me time, I need to think about it." First, he wanted the trash family destroyed. And second, he had to do it but still had to protect Tatiana. So he really needs to think of the best way for those two things to be realized perfectly.

"How long? How much time do you need?"

"Thirty minutes" replied Catalina. But the next moment he nodded. "No. Fifteen minutes. I only need fifteen minutes to think." He had actually made a plan in his mind. But after listening to Nick's words if Tatiana doesn't want her name dragged down in case her trash family falls, she needs to fiddle with a little of her original plan.

"Well, I'll give you fifteen minutes to think." Nick got up from his seat. "You can think about it carefully and I'll pack up the things you'll be carrying." Finished saying that, Nick went to the bedroom leaving Catalina alone in the living room.

After Nick's departure, Catalina again laid her body on the sofa. If he had been lying on his stomach, he was now on his back. He closed his eyes and his arms covered his closed eyes.

Thinking about how Tatiana lied to everyone and lied to herself, how she built up a good image in the public eye by showing a sweet face and innocent mannerisms, Catalina had no idea how many wounds and suffering the girl had endured.

He couldn't even be himself just to cover up the rottenness of his life. If it was like that, wouldn't the solution to take was to destroy the trash family?

Yep. Of course he will.

But he could not do it gradually.

If you want to destroy them, then destroy them all at once to their roots so that they have no reason and have nothing to rise again.

Make them suffer, make them ashamed, make them pay back for their sins.

Fifteen minutes passed and one small suitcase was packed perfectly. It needs one medium suitcase, and Nick decides to continue packing it even though it has been past the time Catalina requested.

It'sit's okay. Catalina asked for fifteen minutes, then he would give forty-five minutes.

Until Nick finishes his second suitcase, Catalina is still in the same place, still staying in the same position. Nick walked over and opened his voice, "How? Have you thought about it?" He sat himself on a single sofa. Letting Catalina continue to lie down as it seemed like the girl was comfortable with the position.

"Uh huh." Catalina put away the arm that covered her eyes then nodded. "I've thought about it."

"Say, I'll listen."

"Are you able to gather all the evidence about their crimes? From the smallest to the largest, from the ordinary to the extraordinary?" Catalina asked seriously. "I mean, you're close to Tatiana, maybe Tatiana has a little proof of their crime. Whether it's a place of prostitution, persecution, coercion, forgery, or whatever. What matters is that it's against the law." If you want to overthrow them, first all you have to do is look for their weaknesses then hit in the right place with accurate timing.

Nick rolled his eyeballs. "I'll work on it."

Catalina smiled with satisfaction. "Good," he said.

"If I had collected it, what would you do next?" ask Nick. Catalina's plan, is it the same as what she thinks? He's curious. It was really curious whether this girl would take the same plan she had in mind or not.

"Waiting."

Nick frowned. "Waiting?"

"M." Catalina nodded. "Since Tatiana wants her name to stay clean, I'll wait until Tatiana wakes up. I'll take him back to Alaska and once he's safe there, the day of their destruction will come." Since Tatiana attaches great importance to popularity and always keeps a good name, then she will respect her decision.

Taking Tatiana away in a coma, too risky.

Catalina would not risk losing Tatiana if she forced him to take her away. So the only way is to wait for Tatiana to wake up while gathering the most tangible evidence to send them to hell.

"That's the safest plan to choose and. I love it." Nick nodded small, looking satisfied with Catalina's plan. What Catalina had planned, was completely the same as the idea that popped into her head.

The shortcut to destroying the Atkinson family, was actually quite a lot. They can take gaps from many directions. However if it destroyed them gradually, when they were cornered, they would definitely drag Tatiana down with them.

For Tatiana's sake, and to respect her decision, it's fine to delay for a while longer.

"Even if you don't like it, you still have to agree" Catalina chimed in.

"So, are you sure he'll wake up?" Ignoring Catalina's words, Nick asked another question.

Catalina turned her eyes away. Stare at the little cactus on the table and say, "Sure. He'll wake up."
