Deep love: insatiable lover

-Pilar, go and give Melina some tonic stew,” Gerardo instructed Pilar, who had been following Melina and only when she saw her leave, said to Melina in a conciliatory manner. Melina, go back to your room and rest first. Later, Pilar will bring you the tonic soup and you can order the maids to do anything.

-Grandfather, I’m fine, I’ll come with you.

Melina smiled and shook her head, she wanted to give the image of a well-behaved and understanding granddaughter-in-law. She thought it was an opportunity to show her goodwill in front of Gerardo.

-All right, then you can sit in the living room with this old man for a while.

-Grandpa is not old at all. He will live many more years to see the baby grow up, get married and have children.

-Ha ha, that’s an old monster.

Gerard laughed and waved his hand, but the anticipation in his eyes was genuine. Who wouldn’t want to live longer and longer, especially someone like Gerard, who had spent his life wielding power and making a difference.

While the conversation was going on in the living room, Jaime came down from upstairs a little worried.

-Mr. Gerardo.

-What?

Seeing the look on Jaime’s face, Gerardo’s smile cooled.

-Mr. Gerardo, Mr. Orlando… destroyed everything in the bedroom.

-Let him throw it all away! This imbecile, how dare he deny his son until now. He should be locked up and made to think about it, so that he knows who’s really in charge in this house! Ahem… This imbecile,” said Gerard angrily, getting so excited that he coughed violently.

Melina, seeing this, gently stroked his back to soothe him and said calmly:

-Grandfather, don’t be angry. Orlando needed time to recognise it. If it wasn’t for me… Orlando is so arrogant and mistakenly thought I was setting him up, so it’s no wonder he lost his temper. Maybe I’d better be careful to avoid him in the future,” he said with a bitter smile.

Gerardo did not dare to provoke Melina, who was pregnant with his great-grandchild.

-Melina, don’t worry, with grandfather around, that bastard won’t dare do anything to you. If he won’t admit his own son, then don’t blame me for not letting him bring him up in the future.

-I know Grandpa will be on my side, thank you.

-Silly girl, you are welcome and we are a family.

Gerardo stroked the back of Melina’s hand with an affectionate expression, which Vanessa would have noticed if she had been there, exactly as he had done with her. So, the old foxes were cunning and the best actor was always someone like Gerardo who had been fighting all his life.

Whether it was Orlando or Melina, their ideas were ridiculous in his eyes.

He was like an elephant and they were ants absolutely crushed by him, what was he afraid of?

All I wanted was the birth of Melina’s baby.

-Shit! -Orlando cursed loudly as he tore the bedroom apart. He was breathing heavily and his eyes were red.

He didn’t expect Gerardo to lock him up!Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

The bitch would probably be so protected that it would be difficult for him to get to her. But she couldn’t let that bastard be born from her womb.

Yes, a bastard!

At this point, even with the evidence in front of him, Orlando was unwilling to admit that Melina’s baby was his.

What should I do?

Was he really going to divorce Vanessa? No, he would never let Vanessa go. She was the only thing holding them together and he couldn’t get rid of her.

“Think, Orlando, do something”.

While Orlando forced himself to think of something, Gerardo had already asked Jaime to call Vanessa and arrange a meeting with her.

When she hung up the phone, Vanessa’s brow immediately furrowed.

She hadn’t been back since her father’s funeral and at first, Gerardo had asked Jaime to call her to see how she was, but then they didn’t even call her. But Vanessa didn’t care, she preferred not to be reminded of the Moya family.

But this time, Gerardo had asked her to meet him through Jaime.

What was its purpose?

It didn’t matter, it was only a matter of time.

Vanessa picked herself up and prepared to leave for her appointment.

He had just got into his car when the phone rang. He pulled it out and saw it was Dylan. He wanted to hang up, but his hand grabbed it uncontrollably.

He waited to hear Dylan’s deep voice before reacting.

-What?

Now that she had responded, Vanessa had to speak stiffly.

-Are you going to meet the old man now?

-How do you know?

Vanessa unconsciously looked out the car window and saw no sign of Dylan.

Less than five minutes had passed since Jaime’s call, so how did the man know he was going to meet Gerardo?

-Of course, I have my form.

-Yes. What do you want?

What did her meeting with Gerardo have to do with Dylan?

-If I’m right, Gerardo will ask you to divorce Orlando.

-Great, I was already looking forward to getting divorced with Orlando! -said Vanessa without thinking and was even pleased by Dylan’s words.

She could get rid of Orlando without having to find a way to do it herself, so why not?

-Honey, don’t forget that we work together now.

-¿Y?

-This divorce is the Moya family’s fault and, with Gerardo’s arrogance and hypocrisy, I’m sure he’s pretending to be generous. Last time, he gave you 1% of Grupo Moya shares because Orlando’s betrayal was discovered. This time, I think you will be compensated with shares again.

-So?

-What Gerardo gives you, don’t refute it.

-Do you want Grupo Moya shares?

-Yes,” Dylan admitted dryly, without any hesitation.

Vanessa wanted nothing more to do with the Moya family, but what she had promised Dylan had to be done; perhaps, when she could no longer do anything to help him, she would let him go free?

With that thought in mind, Vanessa agreed:

-All right.

-Good girl.

-I’ll hang up if there’s nothing else.

Not bothering to listen to Dylan’s flirtatious voice any longer, Vanessa hung up the phone when she finished. She casually placed the phone on the passenger seat, started the car and went to find Gerardo.

In the elegantly decorated tea room, Vanessa waited bored.

When she heard footsteps approaching her, she stood up.

Footsteps stopped at the door, the waiter opened it, then Gerardo and Jaime entered, one after the other.

-Grandfather, Jaime,” Vanessa greeted the two men calmly and decently.

A pity appeared in Gerardo’s eyes, for she was such a good granddaughter, it was a pity. But she and the Moya family were destined for each other and had not become pregnant before Melina.

So they couldn’t blame him for being ruthless.
