Deep love: insatiable lover

-I…

Orlando was speechless.

He had been so focused on hating Vanessa, on doing all sorts of things to hurt her and force himself on her, that by now he hadn’t even slept with Vanessa, let alone gotten her pregnant.

Damn it, it was all because of that bitch Melina!

He had made sure to take precautions when he had been with her and had made sure she took the pill afterwards. He didn’t think he was going to let that woman get away with it! No, maybe she didn’t even have her own child in her womb.

Orlando raised his head to Gerardo and said:

-Grandfather, what Melina has in her womb cannot be my child!

-Whether it is or not, for the time being, it will have to stay in the Moya Family until the baby is older and I’ll do a DNA test with an amniocentesis. If it isn’t, I won’t forgive anyone who dares to deceive me and the Moya Family,” said Gerardo with a sinister look on his face.

-Grandfather!

Orlando was not at all happy with this decision, the idea that Melina was secretly pregnant with his child disgusted him and upset him so much that he wanted to kill her.

-Don’t give me that nonsense! In case what she has in her womb is really our family’s great-grandchild…. There are two months left for the amniocentesis and if Vanessa can get pregnant in that time, then the foetus in Melina’s womb will naturally be unnecessary. But if you can’t and it is verified that the baby is indeed the Moya family’s, there is no room to turn the matter around. You and Vanessa will then be divorced.

-No!

He would never, ever divorce Vanessa!

-You bastard! That’s an order! If you want to stay married to Vanessa, find a way to get her pregnant as soon as possible, and don’t blame me for being ruthless if you can’t!

Gerardo thought he had given Orlando his chance and it was up to him whether he took it or not.

He assumed the majesty of the man in charge of the Moya family and Orlando had no choice but to comply, even though he disliked it. He swore silently that he would leave Vanessa pregnant with his own child.

As for Melina, well, he had all the means to take revenge on her.

-I see.

Orlando’s attitude became respectful, he had to look up to Gerardo for everything and could not contradict him.

-Remember what I told you, I’m giving you the opportunity and it’s up to you to take it or not.

-I’ll take it.

Orlando said confidently that he would do everything possible to make it up to Vanessa, to win back her heart when she was weaker.

Philip’s funeral hasn’t started yet and now you’re at least his son-in-law, so you can’t skip the funeral part. You know what to do. Now is not the time to be whimsical and I don’t want to hear any whispers of a funeral without the son-in-law….

-I know.

Orlando would have arrived at the funeral home without Gerardo saying anything.

These were great days to build up his goodwill with Vanessa and he certainly wasn’t going to waste it.

Felipe’s death was not directly related to him, but it was implicated. In that case, he was generous enough to leave Vanessa’s disgusting photos behind for now.

He’d get his revenge when he’d won Vanessa’s heart back and had foiled the plans of that bitch Melina.

Orlando was overconfident.

He soon left Villa Moya and headed for the funeral parlour.

After a day and a night’s rest, Mercedes was feeling better and insisted on going to the funeral home for the wake. The maids could not resist, so Limón had to take the car to take her to the funeral home.

Seeing this, Vanessa got up and went over to support the fragile Mercedes.

-Mum, didn’t I tell you to stay home and rest today too?

-Good girl, that’s good. I want to spend more time with your father and I won’t get the chance later ….

Mercedes’ eyes were red and she tried to contain her sad expression. She grabbed her daughter’s hand and gave her the comfort that the two of them would have to depend on each other from now on.

Vanessa’s heart was sour and it was hard to bear.

She fought her sadness and put on a smile.

-I’ll help you there, dad is waiting for you too.

-Yes, I am sure your father will not be able to leave without my coming.

Mercedes smiled, her eyes growing darker and sadder as she thought of the sweet, loving days of the past.

-Mummy, you sit here with daddy while I go out and say hello. You… don’t be so sad, daddy will be sad.

-Don’t worry, it’s fine.

She was so old and with her own poor health, who knew how many years she would live? So she didn’t care anymore, she was only concerned about her child and what she was going to do with her life in the future.

Mercedes looked at Vanessa’s back and swallowed those worries again.

His daughter was strong and did not need him to say such useless words to her.

Mercedes looked at her husband in the glass coffin, who had been with her for decades through thick and thin, and smiled happily with reddened eyes.

-Philip, how cruel of you to go away like this. My health is getting worse, I don’t know how long I’ll last, poor Vanessa….

Not far away, hidden by the curtain, Vanessa remained silent. The sound of Mercedes’ rambling voice reached her ears and she forced herself to listen to the sadness for a moment before leaving.

At the sight of Orlando, Vanessa’s eyes immediately sharpened.

-What are you doing here?

-Vanessa, can you stop being so hostile to me? I know, you think you resent me for what happened to dad, but I’ve done my research and I had nothing to do with dad’s fall at work that day and his deterioration. It was Melina who was to blame.

It was that bitch!

She had caused Vanessa to misunderstand and hate him. She had managed to kill Felipe and used the baby to pressure him with the grandfather.

Sooner or later he would take revenge on her.

-So what?

In her eyes, what was the difference between Orlando and Melina? She would never forgive them!

-Vanessa.

Orlando frowned, he didn’t expect Vanessa to hate him so much even if she knew the truth.

He took a deep breath, lowered the anger in his chest and said in a soft voice:

-Vanessa, don’t be like that. This is at least dad’s mourning room, let’s put aside all our past grudges and give dad a good send-off, that he won’t worry anymore after his death.

-Orlando, how dare you say such things!

How cheeky!

Vanessa was shaking with rage, she looked at Orlando through gritted teeth and if this wasn’t her father’s funeral home, she would have killed him!

-Vanessa.

Orlando didn’t understand Vanessa’s feelings, he blamed her for being insensitive and hated her for pretending to be so superior. She was to blame, he was already putting up with her, but she didn’t even know it.

-Go away, I don’t want to see you.

-I’m not leaving.

Orlando frowned and said, suppressing his anger so as not to argue with Vanessa at this point.

But Vanessa was unwilling to compromise and insisted that he leave, and Orlando, enraged to the extreme, issued a threat:

-Dad has passed away and you want the Cazalla Group, which he founded, to go bankrupt?Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
