Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Estrella Berrocal did not see Adán Rouco’s car when she passed under the Yahua Film and Television Company building on her way home from work.

He waited about ten minutes, but did not see Adam Rouco, who had told him to wait for him in the morning and that he would be angry if he went straight back to Las Villas of Repulse Bay.

When the call came in, it was Santino Yepes who answered the phone.

“Is Adam Rouco still out of service?”.

“Miss Estrella, the boss … is still busy, why doesn’t he come directly to the Rouco Group and wait for you?”.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Estrella Berrocal did not suspect anything and said in a calm voice: “Yes, I’ll be right there”.

The Yahua Film and Television Company is not far from the Rouco Group, less than a ten-minute walk away.

She entered the Rouco Group building, got on the elevator and watched him go up, thinking about how she would be relieved with Adán Rouco later.

Arriving on the sixty-sixth floor, Estrella Berrocal approached the president’s office just as Santino Yepes was leaving.

“Mr. Santino, is Adán Rouco in there?”.

“The boss is in.”

Estrella Berrocal nodded and raised her foot to enter, but Santino Yepes stopped her, “Miss Estrella, you’d better take her to the living room and wait!”

Estrella Berrocal frowned slightly, “Are you gathered?”.

No sooner had this question been asked than a delicate woman’s voice suddenly came from the office.

“President Rouco… you are very bad! You tickle me a lot and it hurts”.

Estrella Berrocal’s heart sank hard.

“What is Adán Rouco doing there…?”

Santino Yepes blushed and stammered, “Miss Estrella, actually BOSS he…”

Inside, another ambiguous sound of female laughter was heard, “Oops … no more … my legs are so weak … bad …”

“Don’t you love it when I’m this bad?”

The man flirted teasingly, cajoling the woman with petulant grunts.

Estrella Berrocal blushed with embarrassment as she hooked her lips into a soft mocking laugh. “It’s so obvious, what else do I have to ask?”.

He swallowed saliva, clenched his fist and bit his lip: “Since President Rouco is so busy, I will go first and leave President Rouco in a good mood.”

She could no longer hear the flirting in the office, but as soon as she turned around, Santino Yepes called out to her, “Miss Estrella…. The boss has said you can’t leave without his permission.”

Estrella Berrocal’s fingertips, pinched, was Adán Rouco deliberately humiliating her?

Inside the office, the woman sitting on Adán Rouco’s lap complains: “President Rouco, who is making all this noise outside? I’m not in the mood for it.”

Adán Rouco snarled, “Who’s out there?”

Santino Yepes was stunned and was quick to report, “Boss, it’s Miss Estrella.”

The woman inside growled, “Who is Miss Estrella, President Rouco? Why are you calling another woman? You are a pain in the ass.

Estrella Berrocal clearly heard Adán Rouco say, without emotion, “She is just an insignificant woman, who has no right to compete with you”.

His face quickly turned white.

No matter …

He kept her close simply because she was Paulita’s real mother.

In the office, Adán Rouco coldly ordered, “Send him in!”.

Santino Yepes unconsciously looked at Estrella Berrocal, “Miss Estrella, the boss wants you to come in…”

Estrella Berrocal took a deep breath and adjusted her emotions before entering the office.

When he arrived at the office, he saw the woman sitting in Adán Rouco’s arms, none other than Lucrecia Javier, who not long ago had lied that she was pregnant by Adán Rouco.

Estrella Berrocal’s teary eyes fluttered.

Seeing Estrella Berrocal, Lucrecia Javier threw her arms around Adán Rouco’s neck with more glee: “President Rouco, put me down, you called her, I’m shy!”

Estrella Berrocal saw that Adán Rouco’s large hands, entangled around Lucrecia Javier’s watery waist, were incredibly intimate, and she only gave him a cold glance before looking back at Lucrecia Javier, saying in a low, soft voice to the woman in her arms, “Now you’re pregnant, of course I’m going to hug you.”

“Oh, leave it, the doctor said that in the first trimester the fetus is very unstable and that we should not give importance to the pregnancy.”

Estrella Berrocal turned white as a sheet!

How is it possible that … Adán Rouco not to have said that Lucrecia Javier was not pregnant?

Could it be, could it be that they had had sex again afterwards?

He stood there with a basin of ice-cold water pouring down from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, cold to the bone!

He wanted to approach Adán Rouco and ask him why Lucrecia Javier was pregnant.

But who was she to ask that, when she had put Lucrecia Javier in Adán Rouco’s bed?

He looked at Adán Rouco and his eyes moistened.

Out of the corner of his eye, Adán Rouco caught a glimpse of Estrella Berrocal, her face small, pale and bloodless, and a slight shiver ran through his heart.

“President Rouco, what are you doing calling her! Being there in our way”.

Estrella Berrocal lowered her teary eyes, the corners of her lips curved in self-deprecation: “President Rouco, if there is nothing else, I’ll leave you!

He turned to leave the office, not knowing if the tears he was holding back would flow uncontrollably if he stayed any longer!

“Freeze!”

The man behind her, in a cold, stern voice, called out to her.

Adán Rouco lets go of Lucrecia Javier and approaches her with great strides, grabbing her wrist with a bit of force, with a bit of brusqueness.

Estrella Berrocal frowns: “Adán Rouco, what are you doing?

“You think I told you to come here and stand around!”

“Then what do you want!”

Adam Rouco’s gaze was merciless as he ordered: “Lucrecia is thirsty, go get her a glass of water”.

Estrella Berrocal’s blue and white knuckles felt as if a sharp knife had been plunged into her heart, so deep and painful that she nearly suffocated.

“Okay, I’m going.”

After Adán Rouco released her, Estrella Berrocal turned around and quickly left the office, and as soon as she left, tears rolled down her face.

But why did she have to cry, she was close to Adán Rouco for one reason and one reason only, revenge!

She reminded herself, but the tears kept flowing like a dam.

In the pantry next door, he took a good while to adjust his emotions and regain some composure before re-entering the office with the glass of water.

Lucrecia Javier grunted in disgust and rolled her eyes, “Why are you so slow when they tell you to go get a glass of water? I’m dying of thirst.”

Estrella Berrocal, without saying a word, handed Lucrecia Javier the glass of water.

Lucrecia Javier took it, took a small sip and spit it out, “Yuck, this water is so cold, do you want me to get sick with it? I’m pregnant now, do you take responsibility if my baby freezes in my belly?”.

Estrella Berrocal stood still, motionless, and Adán Rouco scolded her: “Didn’t you hear me? Go get a new glass.

Estrella Berrocal gritted her teeth and smiled coldly: “Yes, Miss Estrella, I’m going to get a hot one right now!”.

Lucrecia Javier snorted coldly, with an air of superiority.

As Estrella Berrocal poured herself a new cup of hot water and handed it to Lucrecia Javier, the latter had just touched the lids when she spilled the hot water and splashed it on the back of Estrella Berrocal’s hand, frowning and shouting, “You did that on purpose! What hot water! You’re trying to scald me to death.”
