Deep love: insatiable lover

-I wanted to leave an offspring for the Moya family, but I didn’t expect a moment of weakness… Humph, do you think I’m going to admit defeat like that? No, it’s not possible! I could do it and do it without a problem then, and I can do it today.

Gerard spoke with a sinister look on his face, completely absorbed in his own thoughts, Jaime had long since been left behind.

Gerard’s eyes became surprisingly excited at the thought of what he had done more than twenty years ago.

It was like the devil, it was like the devil, it got into people’s bones.

Jaime discreetly opened the recorder in his pocket when Gerardo wasn’t looking.

-The Moya family is mine and mine alone. Since they adopted me from the orphanage in the first place, they should have treated me the same as Franco Moya. Why adopt me and then leave me nothing? And say I’m part of the Moya family. Hypocritical, really hypocritical.

Jaime tried to calm his emotions, but the hands hanging at his side clenched into fists.

Her nails dug into her palms, reminding her with a stinging pain to stay calm.

-I was going to talk to my older brother about this, didn’t he always say that he is the best person in the family for me? If that were so, then I asked him for the Moya Group and he would have given it to me, wouldn’t he? But he refused. -said Gerardo, his expression turning grim.

-Why would he refuse? Isn’t he the one who loves me the most? Heh, he’s still selfish after all. What a hypocrite, pretending to be nice to me, only to turn his back on me as soon as he hears my words, and pointing his finger at me and insulting me. Isn’t Franco better born and luckier than me? Why shouldn’t I inherit the Moya Group if my surname is also Moya?

Gerard’s expression became more and more indignant as he thought about what had happened then.

It was as if he had suffered a great indignity, an injustice.

And at that moment, indignant, he forgets that if it hadn’t been for the Moya family, he would have been an orphan in an orphanage where he would have been bullied. He would probably have been kicked out of the orphanage as an adult and would not even have been able to go to school.

Without the Moya family, he would have spent his life at the bottom of the social ladder.

And yet he was not satisfied!

A greedy man can never be satisfied.

With a good life he wants more, he wants to enjoy the feeling of command, he wants to have more power and higher status. To do so, he can sell his soul, he can be ruthless and inhuman.

-This time, I won’t be soft.

“This is the only chance I have left.”

Gerard thought with a ruthless look, finally coming out of his past memories.

Looking coldly at Jaime, Gerard narrowed his eyes: “Forget everything I just said, or you know what I’ll do, Jaime.

-I haven’t heard anything.

Jaime suddenly clarified, and Gerardo looked at him less fiercely.

He closed his eyes, as if to relieve his emotions.

It took him a moment to open them.

-Come out, I’m tired and I need to rest.

-Yes.

Jaime finished with a respectful face and turned to leave.

Gerardo was left alone in the room.

He fumbled with his phone and pressed a number that had been dusty for years.

-We’ll work together again, and this time I’ll pay ten times as much.

With that Gerardo hung up the phone.

Cazalla Group.

As Enrique had not returned with definite news, Vanessa did not go out and had to wait in the office.

Looking up at the darkening sky, Vanessa was nervous for no reason.

What if it doesn’t go well?

In the silence, the sound of hurried footsteps seemed especially clear.

Vanessa had just stood up when the door to his office was pushed open and Enrique entered with a beaming face, pushing his wheelchair, while his bodyguard stood guard at the door.

-The other side has promised to think about it for a day and then give us an answer. That’s what he says, but the result is already eight or nine percent.

-Is that so?

Vanessa spoke in a daze, unsure whether to be pleased or disappointed.

-What’s going on?

asked Enrique before he realised what was happening and the joy on his face disappeared: -“Vanessa, I know you have a lot of grudges against the Cazalla Group, and so do I. But what matters now is you and your mother. But what matters now is you and your mother, and I think that if your father were alive, he would have made the same decision.

-I know,” said Vanessa, trying to squeeze out a smile to appease Enrique, but she could not.

-I know what choice I have to make, but I still feel disappointed. But it’s OK, I’ll be fine after a while. I’m sorry Enrique, for worrying you.

-What are you talking about? Well, it’s getting late, you should go home.

-Rest too, you’ve had a hard time.

said Vanessa with a smile.

Finally, the two left the office together.

Back home, Vanessa told Mercedes the news.

-It’s a good thing, Vanessa, and I don’t want you to make your wife work. We don’t want to be rich and famous, but as long as we’re together, and as long as you’re safe, healthy and happy, I don’t want anything else.

-Yes.

Vanessa nodded vigorously.

She told herself that she couldn’t be too indecisive even for her mother’s sake, that she couldn’t keep brooding over thoughts she shouldn’t be having.

The next day, Enrique received a call from the other party saying that they had thought it through and that they could sign the contract immediately.

Vanessa could not not show up this time because the contract had to be signed.

-The terms have already been agreed, you can sign it later. Don’t worry about other matters, I’ll take care of it.

Henry could not resist instructing again.

-Yes, I know.

Knowing that he was worried about her, Vanessa was not impatient and nodded obediently.

Standing at the door, Vanessa took a deep breath before pushing the door open.

The person on the other side was a complete stranger, with an assistant and a lawyer and so on. Once Vanessa was inside, she greeted them one by one and then started to sign the contract.

Things were going very well.

After dismissing the other party and returning to the CEO’s office, Vanessa looked at the contract in her hand with a sense of disbelief.

Just like that, the company had been sold.

-Uf.

Letting out a long sigh, Vanessa quickly gathered her things.

The rest of the delivery was in Enrique’s hands and the most important thing was to get Mercedes out of Peaceful City before Dylan found out.

To avoid a long night.

Cazalla family.

-Mum, where do you want to go, how about Dorencia? We’ve already been there, don’t you like it?

Vanessa asked Mercedes, putting her arm around her, asking her opinion.

-Dorencia is nice, I like the climate there. Let’s find a suitable place when we settle there, and open an inn and raise flowers and plants.

-We’ll go if you want.

Vanessa had no opinion on where to live in the future.
