Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

During breakfast, Estrella Berrocal kept muttering that, which always seemed strange to her.

Adán Rouco, who had always had a wake-up call, was not in a good mood. “Eat well.”

Adam Rouco was jealous of the fact that she had become attached to the Adam Rouco who had called her “sweetheart” the night before.

There is one type of jealousy that is the most bitter in the world, and that is the jealousy to which one has no right.

To be jealous of oneself is to be jealous of oneself, because there is no outlet for that jealousy and no possibility of comparison.

Estrella Berrocal felt a little annoyed, but kept her mouth shut and ate breakfast in silence.

It was obvious that he had been quick to turn the other cheek, so why was he giving her a hard time?

After breakfast, Estrella Berrocal returned to the house to clean up without saying a word and Adán Rouco frowned, “What for?”

“…”

Estrella Berrocal says nothing.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Speak.” The man’s brow furrows and his tone is tinged with a hint of impatience.

She bites her lip and says deliberately, “…. I thought you wouldn’t let me talk”.

As he said he was not allowed to speak, she did not want to, embarrassed.

Adam Rouco, rarely displeased, stood up and pulled her back and pushed her into the chair, “Sit here while I clean myself.”

“…”

Her tone was not very friendly, her movements a bit overbearing, but Estrella Berrocal’s sullen mood perked up right away.

It was as if Estrella Berrocal’s heart filled as she watched the reserved man pace her small room with a frown on his face.

Surely he remembered what he had done to her the night before and was a little shy. Could that be why he is struggling to keep it to himself?

Could it be that Adán Rouco is also shy? I had the impression that Adán Rouco might say something serious that would make his heart blush.

Thinking about it, Estrella Berrocal suddenly found Adán Rouco a little cute …

However, monkey is not the right word for the cold and reserved image of Adán Rouco …

Adán Rouco, who was always quick to get things done, had Estrella Berrocal’s things picked up in a jiffy.

In fact, Estrella Berrocal didn’t have anything particularly important to pack. She hadn’t brought anything with her when she came to S. She hadn’t bought anything big during her half-month stay, so a small suitcase was enough to fit all her belongings.

“Let’s see what else we’ve left out.”

Estrella Berrocal remembered something important: “Give me a second”.

He pulled a watercolor pencil drawing out of the drawer, then carefully put it away and tucked it into the suitcase.

“What is this?”

“It’s a painting that Paulita gave me and I’ve kept it.”

The colorful painting showed a happy family of three, Adán Rouco holding Paulita with her.

The somber mood under Adán Rouco’s eyes lifted a little.

The doorbell rang and Estrella Berrocal said, “I’ll go get it, I think the chestnut cake to go that I just bought has arrived”.

It was a four or five hour drive back to La Ciudad Santa, so Estrella Berrocal had ordered two chestnut cakes to go, thinking she could eat them when she got bored on the way.

When she reached the entrance, she opened the door to pick up the takeout and suddenly a sharp, shiny knife pressed against her slender neck, pressing against the aorta at the base of her neck.

She looked in horror at the man holding the knife in front of her, and a flash of surprise crept into her eyes.

Miao, President Berto …?

“Where is Adán Rouco?”

Berto Maese glared menacingly at Estrella Berrocal, the knife blade plunged deeper into her neck, a hot liquid instantly poured down her neck.

Estrella Berrocal did not dare to move: “What the hell are you doing?”.

“Adam Rouco, come here!”

Adán Rouco came striding out of the bedroom to see Berto Maese coercing Estrella Berrocal with a knife, and a bright red line of blood already sliding down Estrella Berrocal’s pale neck.

Adán Rouco’s dark eyes fluttered violently.

“You let her go, come to me if you have something to do.”

“Adam Rouco! You were behind the firing of Jerico Fadaisui! You were the one who got Jerico Fadaisui to fire me, and you’re the one who’s spreading the word around the world that I’m taking bribes!”

Adán Rouco wrinkled his brow: “What do you want?

“What do I want? You’ve ruined me, of course I’m going to die with you!”.

Adam Rouco snorted, a sneer in his eyes, “You think you can do it with me now? Drop the knife and I can give you a way out.”

Berto Maese stirred, and the knife in his hand began to tremble, the blade pushed a little deeper into Estrella Berrocal’s neck, her eyelashes fluttering fiercely, her lips pale, the blood from her neck running down her dress, staining the light-colored fabric in a shocking way.

“You think I’m going to believe you! You didn’t take revenge on me just because I touched this woman a few times! Since you care so much about this woman, I’ll let her bleed to death in front of you today!”

With a twist

Adán Rouco suddenly blurted out, “You won’t get anything out of killing her, and you’ll go to jail for it, or even kill to pay for your life, don’t you want your job back, I can help you.”

“Adam Rouco, don’t you dare lie to me! You don’t think I don’t know that you just want me to let this woman go!”

Adam Rouco’s eyes were cold, his movements elegantly caressed his expensive cufflinks, and he said indifferently, “To tell you the truth, I’ve been married for a long time, and this woman is just my mistress in S. I just don’t like them touching my things, but she’s not as important to me as you think, you can kill her here, I’ll call the police and collect her body for you and her…”

The words were cold-blooded and without a trace of humanity.

Adán Rouco was so well disguised that Berto Maese began to lose track of Adán Rouco’s reality. “Adán Rouco! I didn’t think you were so hard-hearted!”.

Estrella Berrocal, in her confusion, met Adán Rouco’s eyes for a second and suddenly burst into tears, “Adán Rouco! How could you do this to me after having slept with you for three years! Even if I die, I will not let you go.”

Estrella Berrocal screamed so loudly that Berto Maese, unable to catch her, shouted at her: “Behave yourself! Move again and I’ll kill you”.

“You can kill me! Adam Rouco, if you are so cruel, I ask only one thing of you: if you kill me, you must bring him down with me! Otherwise, I will come to you night after night!”

Adam Rouco’s thin lips curved: “Yes, I promise you that if he kills you, I will let him die without a trace”.

Berto Maese also panicked and turned white: “You! Adán Rouco!

Adán Rouco’s tone was cold, “I have earned so many enemies in the business world, how am I going to survive without being a lunatic? Her? If you want to kill her, go ahead, Estrella, then I’ll send him with you, don’t be afraid.”

Berto Maese’s blood ran cold.

Just when Berto Maese hesitated, Adán Rouco gave him a look and Estrella Berrocal grabbed Berto Maese’s arm and bit him hard!

“Ah!”

Berto Maese’s arm was released and Estrella Berrocal rushed towards Adán Rouco, but behind her Berto Maese pounced with a knife in his hand!

“How dare you cheat me! I will kill you!”

The knife shone with cold light and stabbed Estrella Berrocal hard in the back!
