Deep love: insatiable lover

Dylan’s clenched hands loosened only when Vanessa fell back into a sleepy slumber.

-Mateo, come in for a moment.

Hearing the gentleman’s call, Mateo didn’t dare delay and immediately got up to stride towards Dylan’s office. As he pushed open the door, he saw Dylan’s grim expression and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

The man was in a bad mood.

-Vicente’s side is also accelerating, it doesn’t matter if we scare the snake away, I want to get rid of it together with Gerardo in the shortest possible time. And Brisa, we have to find her!

-We have some clues about Brisa, and that Roberto has some control. But from what we have seen so far, Roberto’s identity background is not straightforward. In that case, we’ll have to do even more.

-I couldn’t care less!

Vanessa was suffering alone, and he could not be there for her.

It was a horrible feeling.

I didn’t feel it was useful.

Dylan was so cornered that he didn’t want to think about anything, even if it meant killing his enemies to get rid of them, he wanted to end this as soon as possible.

These damn things I hated.

-Very good.

Matthew didn’t dare object, Dylan was not in a good mood and he knew it.

Now he could only hope that things would improve on Vanessa’s side, and pray that Dylan’s mood would improve. Otherwise, the way things were going, the situation would be very bad for them if they continued.

Ultimate success must require the greatest loss in return.

In the space of three days, Vanessa had shut down.

I couldn’t eat and kept vomiting.

I couldn’t sleep well at night.

In just three days, she seemed to have lost another kilo, and Mercedes was distressed.

-You must eat something after the operation, you are too thin now and your health is terrible.

Because of the anaesthesia required for the abortion, Vanessa was unable to eat before the operation to avoid the risk of choking on vomit in her throat during the procedure, which could cause suffocation.

-Mum, don’t worry, I’m fine.

Vanessa forced a smile, but it seemed even more heartbreaking.

-Have a drink while Mummy goes upstairs.

With that, Mercedes turned and walked up the stairs, only stumbling until she was back in her bedroom, her form wobbly, her eyes full of pain.

It was a life, it was his grandson.

How could I let it go?

But compared to her own daughter, Mercedes would have to choose Vanessa.

-My daughter, it is grandmother who has harmed you. But I could not help it, you came at a bad time, and I could not stand by and watch my Vanessa suffer so much. If you are not willing, grandma will pray for you, and grandma will atone for your mother’s sins. Good girl, grandma couldn’t let you go either, but you really came at a bad time.

Mercedes murmured from her room, her tone full of sadness.

At the door, Vanessa’s outstretched hand slowly fell.

He bit his lip with a death grip to keep from making the slightest sound.

She had been so lost in her own thoughts since learning of her pregnancy that she had forgotten to feel what Mercedes felt.

Hearing her say that, she must have been particularly sad about the baby, right?

Vanessa looked at her belly in frustration.

Did he really have to keep it?

No, I can’t!

Vanessa’s wavering eyes became steady again, she looked up, took a deep look at Mercedes’ door, then turned around and left quietly as if nothing had happened.

-He continues.

-Good.

Looking at Mercedes’ face as if nothing had happened, Vanessa felt bad but forced herself to pretend she hadn’t heard or seen.

Mother and daughter leave in silence and head for the hospital.

Peaceful City.

Dylan has cancelled the meeting and asked Mateo to attend in his place, while he has locked himself in his office.

Sitting back in his chair, Dylan crosses his arms on his desk, his jaw tense.

Today was the day Vanessa had made an appointment for an abortion.

Her first child would soon be gone.

It was still very small, obviously, just an embryo. It hadn’t even had time to take shape, to grow.

-Vanesa. Vanessa.

Dylan closed his eyes in pain, muttering Vanessa’s name under his breath.

How I wished for a miracle to happen.

But was there really a miracle?

The minutes passed and soon it was time for Vanessa’s appointment for the procedure.

I had checked before and the abortion was quick, neither half an hour before nor after.

But in such a short time, a little bit of life had disappeared.

Dylan’s heart sank a little as the minutes ticked by.

Five minutes went by, ten minutes went by…. The miracle I had hoped for did not happen.

Heh.

Dylan laughed bitterly and, for the first time, felt he had done it to himself.

If he hadn’t been so stupid, if he hadn’t been so self-righteous, if he had realised his feelings for Vanessa earlier…. none of this would have happened?

The baby, her baby, her baby and Vanessa’s baby!

I am sorry, I am very sorry.

Dylan’s eyes were closed and his hands were clenched tightly.

If Matthew were here he would have noticed that Mr. Omnipotent was really red-eyed.

A buzzing sound.

The telephone suddenly vibrated, breaking the almost suffocating oppression of the office.

Dylan slowly opened his eyes and stared at the phone for a long moment before picking it up and answering.

It was a done deal and all I wanted to do now was kill someone.

-What did you say?

Dylan’s eyes widened in disbelief and the phone fell to the floor with him.

His whole body went rigid, as if he were stupid, frozen and insensitive.

Vanessa had turned back!

The baby was still there!

He had not undergone surgery!

Vanessa had backed out of the operation at the last moment.

Dylan snapped back to reality, his face full of ecstasy. It was as if a million fireworks exploded in his head, making him lose his ability to think.

-Vanessa!

He shouted Vanessa’s name and wept with joy.

Thank God.

Her Vanessa had finally softened her heart and left her baby.

Great, really great.

Dylan couldn’t wait to pick up the phone, the other man hadn’t hung up yet.

He explained a lot of things to him, all about Vanessa. Until he hung up the phone and sat back in his chair, Dylan still felt like he hadn’t woken up from his dream.

Was it all true?

Your baby, saved!

The hospital.

Vanessa left the operating theatre in silence, looking a little dazed.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Mercedes closed her eyes and recited a few words of God’s blessing the moment she learned of her last-minute revocation.

When he saw Vanessa leave, he got up to greet her.

-Vanessa, my Vanessa, if you have decided to keep the baby, be well, don’t be afraid, I am here with you.

-Mum, don’t you blame me? I sold the company that dad left and made you have to leave your house to move here with me. But in the end, you have to get involved with Dylan and you’re even pregnant with his child.
