Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

While Estrella Berrocal was sleeping, Adán Rouco’s cell phone rang and it was Santino Yepes.

Santino Yepes: “Boss, Berto Maese of the Fadaisui Group has been fired, I found evidence that he was receiving bribes. President Fadaisui found out that Berto Maese had offended him, and I helped him do it, and this Berto Maese has been expelled from the Fadaisui Group.”

Adán Rouco responded with indifference, his gaze unconcerned but cold: “Word of his bribes spreads around the circle”.

Santino Yepes was stunned, he didn’t expect Adán Rouco to go to such lengths this time.

Publicizing Berto Maese’s bribes would be tantamount to telling everyone that Berto Maese was a cheat. Although bribes are not uncommon in the business world and nine out of ten people have done it, once you talk about this kind of thing in public, it will put a big black cross on your career.

Berto Maese was an abomination, but not unforgivable, and with it Adán Rouco pushed Berto Maese to a precipice from which there would be no return.

“Yes, boss.”

After hanging up the phone, Santino Yepes thought to himself: “How much does BOSS care about Miss Estrella, who just lost her job after Berto Maese took a few liberties with her?

Everyone in La Ciudad Santa says that wherever Adán Rouco goes, there will be bloodshed and corpses everywhere, but Santino Yepes thinks that wherever Señorita Estrella goes, there she will be, and anyone who dares to touch her is worse than offending Adán Rouco himself.

The next time you see her, you will have to stop calling her “Miss Estrella” and call her “Mrs. Rouco”.

…

When Estrella Berrocal woke up, it was four o’clock in the afternoon, early, it was cold outside, the sun had set, the cool orange sunset was spreading through the window, she was a little sleepy and her head was a little heavy, she had her thin arm over her forehead and she cried out twice: “Adam, Adam?”

Adán Rouco is sitting at his computer in the living room, his long fingers tapping rapidly on the keyboard, the sound of the keyboard is small and pleasant in its rhythm.

Adán Rouco hears a movement in the bedroom, closes the laptop and gets up to go to the bedroom.

Estrella Berrocal had called him for a reason; after sleeping for so long, I don’t know if it was the position in which he slept, but his whole right leg was numb, so much so that he was completely unconscious and trembling in a terrible way.

“Wake up?”

Estrella Berrocal’s voice was a bit muffled, “My leg is numb and I can’t move it”.

“Which leg?”Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Estrella Berrocal pointed to her right leg, and Adán Rouco sat on the edge of the bed, his long, beautiful hands fell on her right leg and rubbed it gently. Estrella Berrocal was slow to feel anything.

“Well?”

She nodded, “Yes, much better, but still a little numb.”

Adam Rouco continued with his hand movements, patient: “Gather your things for tonight and come back with me to the Holy City in the morning.

“So soon.”

It’s not that she was shy, it’s just that her mind ached at the thought of Adam’s father, Jonathan Tasis, Analena Lozada and Julieta Sarinana back in La Ciudad Santa.

Estrella Berrocal leaned on Adán Rouco’s shoulder with empty eyes. Returning to La Ciudad Santa meant facing and dealing with the things she had run away from, things so messy that, for a moment, she couldn’t make sense of them.

“Adam, do you think my father will forgive me in heaven?”.

Although Adán Rouco was not entirely to blame for Stefano Berrocal’s death, even if she did not want to admit it, he was partly to blame. If Adán Rouco had been a little more humane, perhaps her father would not have died.

Adán Rouco kissed her on the corner of her forehead: “Don’t think about it, I owe you everything and I will do my best to make it up to you later”.

Estrella Berrocal nodded sullenly, “Yes, it’s more important to be alive, and I guess my father wants me to be happy too.”

If she continued to take revenge on Adán Rouco and really did something to him, perhaps, she would never be happy again in her life, hurting the people she loved was as bad as hurting herself, Estrella Berrocal could not do that and she did not want to do it again.

I might not get over it for a while, but I would try to look forward.

Actually, now that she thought about it, she and Adán Rouco had had Paulita three years earlier, she and he had long since moved on, and she wasn’t someone who could stay with the hate all the time; just a little warmth made her want to be happy.

Thinking of the people of La Ciudad Santa, he suddenly remembered Perla Prats, with whom he had not had contact for a long time, since Perla Prats had broken up with her in Yahua Film and Television Company because of Jonathan Tasis, and he had tried to contact Perla Prats since he broke up with her because of Jonathan Tasis in Yahua Film and Television Company, but Perla Prats has not answered him and with everything that has happened lately, Estrella Berrocal has not had time to contact Perla Prats.

“Come to think of it, Jonathan Tasis sure is trying to provoke Perla Prats and I. Do you think Perla Prats will reconcile with me if I go back to The Holy City and talk to her? ”

Even after La Empresa Berrocal went bankrupt, Perla Prats had never abandoned her and had even helped her. She was grateful to Perla Prats with all her heart and was sure that she was her friend.

Only Jonathan Tasis really had an ulterior motive, but I could also understand that Perla Prats was angry and wanted to cut her off.

“I’m only going to complicate things by getting into what you do to each other, but if I have to ask, I’ll ask for you.”

Estrella Berrocal agrees with Adán Rouco: “If you talk, Perla will think I’m the one who told you to push her, and then she’ll be less amused to reconcile with me, so I’d better approach her when she’s faded a bit from Jonathan Tasis.”

“She’s obsessed with Jonathan Tasis, at best, and it won’t last long.”

Estrella Berrocal didn’t believe it, seeing that Perla Prats was so in love with him, was she really just infatuated?

“But she already cut me off for Jonathan Tasis, I think it’s possible that Perla Prats is really in love with Jonathan Tasis this time.”

Adán Rouco laughed lightly and said, “When she was in high school she was in love with a senior and she was even crazier than now for Jonathan Tasis, but she ended up with him for only a month and then she left him, saying she didn’t like him anymore, and she is still obsessed with Jonathan Tasis, but only because she didn’t lay hands on him It is that for Perla Prats it is easy to get over someone, time and a new love, just wait for her next target to appear and soon she will fade away from Jonathan Tasis and will come back to reconcile as well. ”

Estrella Berrocal couldn’t believe it, was Perla Prats such a slut?

“Really? What if he’s serious this time?”

Adam Rouco’s dark eyes gave her a playful look and his lips curved, “Then I’ll stuff her with a guy better looking than Jonathan Tasis.”

The corner of Estrella Berrocal’s mouth twitched, was this a conspiracy?

But Adán Rouco had this peculiar way of helping her with these little girl things, why he liked her so much.

“Adán Rouco, you are Perla’s real uncle.”

“But Perla Prats is surnamed Prat, and you, Rouco”.

Adán Rouco knew exactly what was most important, and who to help.

Mrs. Rouco…

Estrella Berrocal’s heart overflowed with sweetness, “Why didn’t I realize before that you were so protective?”

“Being a protector is my biggest hobby and specialty-“.
