Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

In his head, a thunderclap opened violently.

So Adán Rouco had seen what she was up to and let her stay with him just to keep her off guard? To take advantage of the fact that he had stolen her chip and then to shoot her in the back?

Jonathan Tasis looked at her somewhat surprised expression, got up and came to her side, lowered his head and whispered in her ear, “Estrella, you should understand now, you are not going to get Adam Rouco’s heart, he is a very defensive person, even if … you are pregnant with his child, he could just as well use your child to set you up and plot against you.”

Jonathan Tasis’ eyes looked at Estrella Berrocal’s flat belly.

Estrella Berrocal’s brow furrowed and, subconsciously, she put her hand to her belly: “How, how can you be sure that I’m definitely pregnant?”.

“We are allies, you don’t need to lie to me about those things, I won’t hurt you.”

Estrella Berrocal’s fingers, slowly pinching into the palm of her hand, her little face pale, her voice a little weak, “Since the chip is fake, now what?”

“I thought you said you were going to leave when it was done. What, you changed your mind?”

She bit her lip, “I, I didn’t think things were going to turn out like this…”

“So what you’re saying is that you’re going to keep working with me?”

Before, she had felt guilty for having cheated on Adán Rouco, but now it seemed that between her and Adán Rouco there was only half a catbird seat, neither was more ruthless than the other, and that being so, what else did she have to feel guilty about?

She took a deep breath and said, “Now that Adán Rouco knows what I’m doing, I’m sure I can’t go on with him, what else can I do?”

Jonathan Tasis stared into her stomach, his lips suddenly curved coolly as he said, “In fact, all you have to do is abort the child in your womb and that will be enough to throw Adam Rouco off the scent.”

Estrella Berrocal’s pupils slammed shut and the blood faded from her face in an instant.

“Jonathan Tasis!”

“Could it be that you can’t part with this child? Or are you really going to have this child? He, with the blood of Adam Rouco in him, is the enemy of your father’s death.”

The pain in Estrella Berrocal’s heart was so intense that Jonathan Tasis was rubbing salt into her open wounds, making her body shudder.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

She scoffed: “Didn’t you say that Adán Rouco didn’t love me at all? Since he doesn’t love me, he wouldn’t mind if I aborted the child I have in my womb!”.

“He doesn’t love you, but the child in your womb is his offspring after all, a tiger can’t eat his child, do you see how he still worships Paulita? I heard that in the last three years, his depression has improved a lot thanks to Paulita, do you think that if he aborts this child, maybe, it will make him collapse emotionally and fall back into the abyss?”

Estrella Berrocal’s warmth faded a little and she looked at Jonathan Tasis with cold eyes and slowly said, “Jonathan Tasis, you are too cruel.”

“Star, I thought we were in agreement regarding this matter!”.

…

Estrella Berrocal left Jonathan Tasis’ office with the feeling that her strength was exhausted. She held onto the wall with one hand and rubbed her belly with the other as tears slid silently down her face.

When she found out about the baby, she wanted to abort it, but … at some point, she suddenly wanted to keep it in her womb.

After all it was a baby, her second child with Adán Rouco ….

…

Estrella Berrocal’s siesta was haunted by nightmares.

In the dream, Adán Rouco put a knife in her stomach, his scarlet and black eyes tried to kill the child, Estrella Berrocal cried and begged him, but he did not listen, the shiny dagger was stuck in her abdomen …

“No!”

Estrella Berrocal woke up startled, with a thin bead of sweat on her forehead and staring at the dark computer screen in front of her, her heart pounding.

So it was just a dream…

Luckily, it was just a dream.

…

After work, Estrella Berrocal was on her way downstairs when she received a call from Jonathan Tasis.

“I have booked you in for surgery tomorrow morning, then I will pick you up at the hospital, in the afternoon you will be notified by text message from the hospital and the exact time.”

Estrella Berrocal’s brow furrowed: “What operation?”.

“Don’t tell me you really want to have this baby? If you have this baby, you’ll only get more entangled with Adán Rouco later!”.

Estrella Berrocal gritted her teeth and said angrily, “Jonathan Tasis, I tell you the baby is mine and you have no right to decide whether he stays or goes! You asked me to cheat on Adam Rouco, to betray Adam Rouco, and all that I did, but to use the child to take revenge, I tell you it’s not possible!”

With those words, Estrella Berrocal cut off Jonathan Tasis’ phone.

She was upset but also worried, she was already in the same boat as Jonathan Tasis, who was so devious and cunning that he was cornered, but this boy, she would not let Jonathan Tasis hurt her!

Estrella Berrocal came out of the Yahua Film and Television Company building and as usual saw the black Maybach in front of the Yahua Film and Television Company.

When she got into the car, Adán Rouco even pulled her and held her in his arms, gently asking, “Are you tired?”

She wanted to say something to break through the mask, but she wanted to be in Adán Rouco’s arms, so she leaned on his shoulder and closed her eyes: “No”.

Adam Rouco’s dark eyes fixed on her lower back, and his big, bony hands suddenly landed on her lower back, turning his face towards her, kissing the bridge of her nose with his thin lips, and saying in a muffled voice, “Star, quit your job at Yahua Film and Television Company, and I’ll take you and Paulita on a trip. on a trip, okay?”.

Estrella Berrocal’s heart shuddered and she looked him in the eyes, “Why do you think that all of a sudden? But even if I quit my job, Paulita has to continue studying and you have so much work, how is it possible that you have time to travel with us?”

When Adán Rouco said this, Estrella Berrocal was undeniably moved.

But was this his new means of seducing and enlisting her, or was it from the heart?

He already knew she was in cahoots with Jonathan Tasis, so why was he so calm?

“I can take some time off, Paulita goes to kindergarten and can take some time off.”

“But…”

Before she could say no, Adam Rouco’s dark eyes examined her sharply, “Or don’t you want to?”

“I … I don’t want to. I’m just afraid you’re busy.”

The words were on her lips, but Estrella Berrocal did not have the courage to say them.

“I haven’t had a vacation in a while and wouldn’t mind taking some time off.”

Estrella Berrocal asked with curiosity: “And … where are we going?”.

“Abroad, anywhere.”

Was Adam Rouco suddenly taking her on vacation abroad because he had become aware of her plot with Jonathan Tasis and that’s why he was taking her out of Ciudad del Norte?

Estrella Berrocal was increasingly confused about what Adán Rouco was up to; the man was too deep, and she was a novice where he was concerned.

He had to see what he could do and asked, “So when do we leave?”

“How about this Friday, when I finish my work and fly out in the afternoon?”.

Estrella Berrocal was stunned: “So soon? But visas and so on…”

Adam Rouco merely said in a light voice, “One visa is enough for three days, so come back tonight and you can discuss with Paulita where to go on vacation.”

It was true, for someone of Adán Rouco’s stature, a visa was nothing more than a formality, and with his financial resources and contacts, three days was probably more than enough time to go wherever he wanted.

Estrella Berrocal lifted the corner of her lips, “Good.”
