Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

“Adam, what did you want to see me for?”.

Olivia Montes placed the plate of fruit on Adán Rouco’s desk and looked at him with a soft smile.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Adán Rouco turned to her with a cold and clear look: “You sent for Estrella Berrocal, didn’t you?

Adán Rouco’s question caught Olivia Montes off guard, the blood drained from her face and the smile on her lips hardened, “Adán, are you kidding me? What makes you think I was the one who sent the men to kidnap Estrella?”

Had it been Estrella Berrocal who had whispered in his ear?

“The kidnapper who stunned Estrella Berrocal, has confessed”.

Adán Rouco’s tone was light, but his eyes, however, were frozen, and Olivia Montes pressed her lips together in mocking laughter, “I did have Estrella Berrocal kidnapped, and what, now you’re taking me to jail?”

…

Estrella Berrocal had taken Paulita out of the shower and was looking for Adán Rouco to find out more about Paulita’s childhood when she arrived at the door of the studio and found it half hidden and not fully closed, she raised her hand to enter when she heard Adán Rouco’s voice.

“I’m not going to send you to jail.”

Who was Adán Rouco talking to?

Estrella Berrocal stood curiously behind the door and saw Olivia Montes clinging to Adán Rouco through the half-open door.

I was about to close the door on them when Olivia Montes said, “I sent someone to kidnap Estrella Berrocal because I was starting to panic, even with all the women who have surrounded you in the past, you have never brought anyone back to the Rouco family, but this Estrella Berrocal. Berrocal, how long are you going to keep her in the Rouco family?”.

Standing in front of the door, Estrella Berrocal’s feet felt like they were nailed to the spot, a bowl of ice water pouring down from head to toe, chilling her to the bone.

Adán Rouco had known that Olivia Montes was the one who had kidnapped her, to allow her to do such an illegal act!

The anger in his chest burned in his heart, suffocating and hot with indescribable pain.

As I stared at the door, an old, stately voice suddenly rang out, “What are you standing there for?”

Startled, Estrella Berrocal hurried to knock on the studio door, while inside Adán Rouco and Olivia Montes listened to the commotion.

“I …”

Roberto Rouco walked soberly on his crutches and looked at the closed studio door. “You’re here spying on Adam’s affairs? You’re not really a spy sent by a rival company, are you?”.

Estrella Berrocal was speechless when the studio door was flung open.

Adán Rouco looked at her with a frown, “What are you doing here?”.

“I just wanted to ask you about Paulita as a little girl.”

Olivia Montes followed her out of the studio when she saw Roberto Rouco standing there, blushing slightly. “Dad?”

Had Estrella Berrocal asked Roberto Rouco to catch adultery?

Roberto Rouco frowned with some surprise: “Why are you here too?”.

“Dad, I…”

Olivia Montes didn’t know how to explain herself when Adán Rouco calmly began, “Dad, my sister-in-law has come to see me on business.”

Business?

Estrella Berrocal despised the fact that all the good feelings she had had for Adán Rouco in the past few days had been lost tonight. She had thought that even if he had a messy personal life, at least he would have the courage to admit it.

Estrella Berrocal pursed her lips and excused herself, “Paulita is still waiting for me to read her a bedtime story, so I’m going ahead.”

…

When Estrella Berrocal went to Paulita’s room, she saw the little girl lying on her bed in a soft pink bathrobe, her hair tangled as she flipped through a picture book.

Estrella Berrocal sat on the edge of the bed and pulled the little girl close to her, combing her hair: “Paulita, if one day I separate from your father, will you miss me?

As soon as the little girl heard this, she immediately dropped her sketchbook and turned her little white face to look at it, asking in confusion, “Why would Star want to be separated from her daddy?”

“Because … things are complicated between adults, and some separations are, well, meant to be.”

Estrella Berrocal finished saying this and then felt it was too pretentious and profound, how was Paulita going to understand his words when she was only three years old?

The little girl frowned and said, “But tonight I made a wish, Star you can’t leave Daddy and me, you have to stay with us forever!”

Make a wish?

Estrella Berrocal froze for a moment, smothering her face with affection, not wanting to tell him that not all wishes come true.

“You’re only three years old, then you’ll understand, you’ll be happy even without me, right?”.

The little girl was immediately annoyed, smiling with a frown, “I’m not three years old! I’m four years old after my birthday!”

Estrella Berrocal sighed, there was no point in talking to the little girl now, so she hugged her against the bed and said softly, “Come, let me tell you a story.”

The little girl snuggled into his arms, her big eyes watering as she asked, “Are you going to leave Daddy and me again, Star?”

Estrella Berrocal, who had somehow managed to put Paulita to sleep, took a long look at her from her bed.

This was his daughter, his blood, and if he could fight for custody of Paulita …

It was an idea that Estrella Berrocal had not even dared to think about, but what would happen if she told the court about the “affair” between Adán Rouco and Olivia Montes?

The audacity of the idea surprised her. If she did, Adán Rouco, with all his power and influence, would tear her to pieces, wouldn’t he?

When she opened the door to Paulita’s room, she ran into a solid wall of flesh, and the man grabbed her by the wrist, looking at her coldly and dangerously. “Did you deliberately bring the old man into the study to see the embarrassment between Olivia Montes and me?”.

Ha, that’s what he would have thought! If he had known, he shouldn’t have closed the door on them! Wouldn’t it have been better if Roberto Rouco had seen them having “incest”?

Estrella Berrocal, who used to have good humor but also got angry, especially when she was misunderstood by Adán Rouco, could not say anything good, and scoffed: “Since you were in the studio with Olivia Montes on official business, why are you so angry if I have lured the old man there? What? Or is something bothering you?”.

Adán Rouco grabbed her wrist and pulled her toward the bedroom, pushing her toward the bed, the man’s long fingers tugging impatiently on her tie, “Repeat that.”

Estrella Berrocal got up from the bed and, seeing the man’s somber face, she felt a little embarrassed, but she kept her face upright and said, “What am I afraid to say? It’s a fact that you were having an affair with Olivia Montes in the studio, and you’re the only one who can do it and no one else can say anything? Besides…”

The man’s tall, erect body leaned over sharply, with two long, strong arms resting on the bed beside her, while his thin lips were a millimeter from hers!

His words, choked in his throat, could not be uttered for a moment.
