Deep love: insatiable lover

Oops.

Not only Dylan, who had been looking for Vanessa, but also Lucas, who was about to go crazy.

Thinking he had a plane to catch, Lucas took it easy and left. He didn’t know what he had missed, and when he did, he was just upset and depressed.

In the blink of an eye, it was the night of the engagement party.

-Are you nervous?

Alonso looked sideways at Vanessa, and anyone could see the depth of emotion in her eyes.

-I’m not nervous,” Vanessa shook her head, “There’s nothing to be nervous about if you think of the engagement party as a performance.

A performance? Something like that, isn’t it?

Alonso’s face was smiling, but his heart was red with bitterness.

-Well, it’s about time. I will go and see what else we have to do while you are resting. I will come and fetch you later, and you can ring the bell for the maid if you need anything.

-Don’t worry, I’ll take care of myself, you go ahead and get to work.

-Good.

Alonso smiled and turned to leave.

The engagement party was held at the Rasgado family’s own estate, the room was large and beautifully decorated, and Vanessa sat on a plush stool, looking at herself in the mirror with her make-up on, dazed.

Then, suddenly, a face whose features were unclear appeared before his eyes.

But Vanessa knew he was the man of her dream.

-Who are you?

Vanessa frowned and stared at the blurred man, her voice urgent as she continued with the question.

No one answered him.

Vanessa felt as if she sensed the pain and longing in the other man’s eyes, and her heart clenched tightly. Though it was only an absurd sensation, she felt unable to breathe.

At that moment, the door clicked and someone came in.

Vanessa turned her head and frowned at the woman who had arrived uninvited.

-I knew Alonso had you hidden here.

The woman looked at Vanessa coldly, her eyes full of contempt and disdain. Her chin was raised and her toes were pointed to the maximum.

-Miss Davalos, what can I do for you?

The woman in front of him was Graciela Dávalos, the same woman Alonso had always detested.

She had grown up with Alonso and had been chasing him since she was thirteen, and being the only girl in the Dávalos family, and because of the Dávalos family background, Graciela had a very arrogant personality.

It wants what it wants and it has to have it.

As a result, she does many things to Alonso that are offensive to him. On one occasion, she drugged Alonso and tried to make him responsible for her having sex with him.

As a result, Alonso became so disgusted by Graciela that he could not even look at her without feeling disgust.

Still, Graciela never gave up on Alonso.

-I forbid you to commit yourself to Alonso!

Graciela said brutally, looking at Vanessa with fierce jealousy, thinking that she was wearing a dress that Alonso himself had chosen.

Graciela was as beautiful and well-educated as the Rasgado family.

Not to mention the fact that she was in love with Alonso.

But what about Alonso? He has been seduced by a woman of unknown origin and is not only in love with her, but is even engaged to be married.

How could he?

-Listen carefully, I will never allow you to get engaged to Alonso. He’s mine! Bitch from nowhere, you better stay away from me or I’ll ruin your face.

Vanessa frowned in disgust at Graciela’s threat.

-Miss Davalos, you are not helping by threatening me here.

What she meant was that Alonso could not be engaged to Graciela, even without her presence. But to Graciela it sounded as if Vanessa was deliberately showing off.

Graciela’s face twisted into an expression of indignation and madness.

-Heh. You think you can be arrogant in front of me just because Alonso likes you? Trying to get engaged to Alonso? Not a chance.

Suddenly, Graciela scoffed and shouted outside.

-All of you, come in.

At his words, two tall white men, his bodyguards, entered from outside.

-What do you want?

-Heh, I’m never going to let you get engaged to Alonso. He likes your face, doesn’t he? Then I’ll ruin your face. He likes your body, then I’ll destroy your body.

Graciela laughed with a wicked smile.

Her two bodyguards had also moved in, standing over Vanessa, holding her down.

-This is the Rasgado family! Aren’t you afraid of upsetting Alonso and his family?

-I don’t care. Anyway, even if Alonso is angry with you, you’ve ruined yourself for me, so he can’t be with you. I’m the Dávalos family’s señorita, and with the Dávalos family around, the Rasgado family won’t do anything to me. And besides, you’re a bitch out of nowhere, do you really think the Rasgado family would give me a hard time for you?

Graciela said with a look of contempt.

His frown suddenly turned vicious and he ordered.

-Get it for me.

With that, he pulled out the dagger he had prepared some time ago.

Vanessa frowned, she didn’t expect Graciela to have the audacity to do this to her at Alonso’s engagement party so brazenly. Since she had the nerve to bring her bodyguards, she must have taken control of the outside as well.

If Alonso didn’t notice the difference, no one could come to her rescue any time soon.

-Heh. Don’t worry, when I scratch your face, I’m sure Alonso will come. But, unfortunately, by then he’ll probably have lost sight of you.

Graciela smiled extravagantly as she pressed her sharp dagger against Vanessa’s face.

The force was deliberately controlled so that she could feel the coldness of the dagger but without breaking her face for the moment.

It behaved like a cat that has caught a mouse and does not eat it in one bite, but uses its sharp teeth and claws to frighten the prey in its hand. It wanted to see the other’s panic and desperation, and took pleasure in it.

-Are you afraid?

Graciela smiled at Vanessa and asked her as she plunged the dagger into her face.

The sharp blade pressed into his skin, almost bone-cold.

Vanessa’s face showed no extra reaction even though she was nervous inside.

She knew what Graciela wanted to see, but deliberately didn’t let her get away with it.

It was as if she didn’t mind the dagger pressed against her cheek, didn’t care that she might be disfigured if she pushed a little. He acted calmly and openly, which made Graciela’s temper fray.

-Hey, I can’t believe you’re not afraid!

Graciela said angrily, her hand pushed hard and a stabbing pain shot through her.

Vanessa’s face was cut with a slash.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Perhaps Graciela had made a cut not too deep and not too long to notice, and it stopped bleeding soon after she saw the red. It only stung a little and was warm.

-Do you feel that? A sharp knife through this pretty face of yours. Heh, this was just a teaser to make you realise the fear of having your face cut off. How’s that? Isn’t it exciting?
