Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

The Spyker sped down the road, Adam Rouco’s face cold and deep inside the car.

The words of what Jonathan Tasis had said on the phone echoed in his ears.

“Adán Rouco, I forgive you, Analena Lozada is not dead, she is alive!”.

In his head, over and over again, were these words.

Adán Rouco could not help but step on the gas and accelerate the car.

I owed Analena Lozada an apology if she wasn’t dead, after all the years of pain she had carried.

The memories in his mind went back ten years …

At that time, he and Jonathan Tasis were still good friends, and Analena Lozada and them, two older men, used to go out together.

They went to college together, they went to the library together, they went to Internet cafes to play together …

It was almost the happiest time Adán Rouco has ever had in his life.

Back then, it was nowhere near as deep or as cold as it is now.

I had the best friends in the world and a big brother as good as Oscar Rouco.

Ten years ago Analena Lozada sank under the sea and five years ago Óscar Rouco died in a speeding traffic accident.

Two people who meant so much to him had passed away and the heaviness and sadness in his heart was becoming more and more evident.

Over the past ten years, he has become increasingly secretive.

If Analena Lozada returns, she only wants to ask for forgiveness.

…

Adán Rouco rushes into the room when he arrives at the hotel designated by Jonathan Tasis …

A girl stood by the window with her back to him, her back bore a slight resemblance to Analena Lozada, but ten years had passed, and Adán Rouco, insecure and even more thoughtless, reached over and grabbed Analena Lozada’s hand.

“Annalena!”

As soon as the girl turned around, she slammed the potion she was holding into Adam Rouco!

Adán Rouco did not dodge it, and a dizziness struck before his eyes.

“Did Jonathan Tasis send you?”

The woman pushed Adam Rouco onto the bed behind her, straddling Adam Rouco’s waist in a daring position, her red lips curved into a bright smile. “Mr. Adam, I’ll give myself to you, okay?”

Adam Rouco pushed the woman on top of him with the last ounce of strength in his body, and shoved her furiously, “Go away!”

The woman didn’t flinch, got up and hugged him again, “Adam Rouco, don’t resist, the potion I just used is the same dose used to stun African elephants! You’d better lie down and go to sleep for me at once.”

Lucrecia Javier had never thought that President Jonathan would do such a nice job for her!

If she slept with Adán Rouco, clung to this man and became Mrs. Rouco, she wouldn’t have to worry about anything in her life!

Lucrecia Javier ran her fingers along Adán Rouco’s handsome cheeks. “You are so handsome, even more than President Jonathan, Adán Rouco, you are mine from now on!”.

…

Estrella Berrocal left the Civil Registry Office in a state of deep thought.

He stood in front of the Civil Registry, thinking and thinking, but decided to call Adán Rouco.

He had left earlier in such a hurry, could anything really have happened?

The phone rang for quite a while before it was picked up.

“Adán Rouco, you left in such a hurry just now, is something wrong with you…?”

Before she could finish the sentence, a lovely, delicate female voice interrupted her, “Who are you? Adam is busy right now.

“Busy? Who are you?”

Lucrecia Javier snorted triumphantly, “Of course Mr. Adam is in a hurry to leave, because Mr. Adam is in a hurry to come to the hotel and make love to me! If you have nothing to do, I’m hanging up now, Mr. Adam is rushing me!”.

Estrella Berrocal’s fingers trembled as she picked up the phone.

He felt an excruciating chill throughout his body and slowly sat down in front of the Civil Affairs Office, clutching the phone.

His heart, sunk in ice water, was numb and cold.

Had Adam Rouco left in such a hurry to meet another woman at the hotel?

But it was he who dragged her to the Office of Civil Affairs, why did he humiliate her like that?

Even if she liked it, she was still a human being, and she respected herself, and in doing so, Adán Rouco was crushing her feelings under her feet. …

Tears fell from her eyes in anguish.

The phone rang.

The caller ID read: President Jonathan.

She wiped the tears from her eyes; Jonathan Tasis must have called to ask why she hadn’t gone to work.

He picked up the phone and his voice trailed off, “President Jonathan.”

Jonathan Tasis, on the other side, had obviously heard her crying, “What’s the matter with you?”

“Me, I’m fine, by the way, President Jonathan, I’m a little busy today, that’s why I didn’t go to work…”

Jonathan Tasis frowned slightly, had Lucrecia Javier called Estrella Berrocal to demonstrate?

Jonathan Tasis asked coyly, “Was it because you work at Yahua Film and Television Company and you got into a fight with Adam Rouco?”

At the mention of Adán Rouco, Estrella Berrocal’s uncontrollable emotions got even more out of control. “No, it has nothing to do with that.”

The sobs were louder in her voice.

Jonathan Tasis was even more certain that he was now crying, definitely for Adán Rouco.

“I don’t know if there’s anything I should tell you.”

“What?”

“I was just at the Peninsula Hotel talking business with a business associate and I ran into Adán Rouco with a woman who looked … as if she had gone to get a room.”

Estrella Berrocal, over here, her eyes even more reddened, biting her lip to hold back her sobs, silent.

Jonathan Tasis muttered, “Are you all right?”

“I’m, I’m fine, President Jonathan, I have things to do, I’m hanging up now.”

Estrella Berrocal hastily hung up the phone, not even having the courage to ask Jonathan Tasis what the room number was.

She was the biological mother of Adán Rouco’s daughter, she had been on the verge of marrying him, she was his half fiancée, and yet she didn’t even have the courage to go and catch him in the act.

He is so weak, so cowardly.

…

Jonathan Tasis, who was on the other end of the line, hung up and told his assistant Tulio Moralez, “Find out where Estrella Berrocal is now.”

“Good.”

Five minutes later, Tulio Moralez pushed open the office door, “President Jonathan, Miss Estrella is now in Civil Administration.”

“What do you mean?”

The Office of Civil Affairs?

He froze and then curved his lips into a smile, it looked like he had done something “big”!

I didn’t think the timing was so good!

The moment of the wedding of Adán Rouco and Estrella Berrocal!ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

…

Estrella Berrocal waited for Adán Rouco in front of the Civil Registry for a whole day, with her eyes swollen with tears, and the Civil Registry closed, without waiting for Adán Rouco.

Passers-by who came and went looked at her with pity and sympathy, as if they had already made up in their heads that she must have been jilted by her boyfriend.

I have been at the Civil Affairs Office for many years and I have seen many cases like this. There are people who come here to get their license and suddenly break down at the door. If she really wanted to marry you, she would have come a long time ago.”

Estrella Berrocal’s eyes filled with tears, “But it’s not that I wanted to get married…. why would I leave me here alone…”

It was he who dragged her into marriage, never thought about it, gave her hope and then slapped her!

Why did he have to embarrass her?

If he hadn’t dragged her to the civil office to get married, she wouldn’t be suffering all the stares now, she just hated, hated Adán Rouco for why he had humiliated her like that.

When grandfather saw that she had no intention of leaving, he advised her twice more, “Go home, little girl, it’s not worth waiting for this man any longer.”
