Deep love: insatiable lover

No one expected the photos to be published so quickly.

Vanessa had been up late in the morning, as she had been working on some papers in her studio until two o’clock yesterday morning. When she came downstairs after washing up, Mercedes was already sitting at the table, smiling and waving at her.

In the past, Felipe had the habit of reading the newspaper before breakfast, but now the person who had this habit has been replaced by Mercedes.

-Madam, today’s paper.

Samara handed the paper to Mercedes, who turned and headed for the kitchen; Mercedes flipped to the first page out of habit and opened it. On the second page, her whole body froze and the next moment she began to blush.

Her chest was tight, even her breathing was not fluid. mercedes’ face was pale, and she looked as if she was about to faint.

Vanessa finally sensed something was wrong and stood up.

-Mum!

Her face paled and she got up, running to Mercedes in fright and patting her back to calm her down. With her eyes on Mercedes, Vanessa didn’t see what was in the newspaper.

-Vanessa, look… look at all of these… what about these?

Mercedes had managed to pull herself together and was so excited thinking about what she had just seen that she could hardly breathe again.

-Mum, don’t be angry, take care of your health.

Vanessa’s whole heart was in the air. Although her mother said nothing after her father’s death, she must have been suffering inside, her own health had worsened, and so Vanessa became angry within herself, worrying that her mother would also be gone one day.

-Sit down, take a deep breath and relax.

Vanessa carefully reassured Mercedes before turning her attention to the newspaper.

He frowned, his face full of confusion turning to sadness and anger as he saw the pictures of her in bed with different men published in the newspaper.

These photos… even if I hadn’t seen them before, I knew they were definitely the ones Melina had taken to show Orlando and to get herself going.

Thinking about Orlando’s threat to herself the other day, could it be him?

Vanessa was frightened and angry, clutching the newspaper with a death grip and a miserable pale face. Her head was so dazed and blank that she couldn’t even think. Just the thought that the whole city would see these pictures made her heart stop.

-Oh, Vanessa, what the hell is going on here? These pictures can’t be real, how can you be such a person,” said Mercedes with a sad face, thinking that they were orphans and widows, it must be those people who saw that they were easy to intimidate, so they deliberately set her daughter up! She hated herself, hated herself for being useless and hated Philip for passing away too soon.

It was Vanessa who was most distressed.

Mercedes struggled to contain her anger, took Vanessa’s hand and continued to reassure her.

-Don’t be afraid, Vanessa. It’s OK, they’re just photos, let’s clear it up and we’ll be fine. And the newspaper that published the photos, let’s sue them in court! Sue them for violating your portrait and your reputation and for defaming you.

Vanessa took it in her stride, thinking how hard it must be for mum too, and forced herself to calm down.

-It’s okay mum, don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.

Vanessa tried her best to smile, trying to reassure Mercedes. Instead, her eyes suddenly reddened and she looked at her child with pain and guilt.

-I’m sorry, it’s all my fault for not protecting you. With your father gone, you’re so busy every day and I can’t help you.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

-Mum, I’m very well.

Vanessa was worried that Mercedes would blame herself again and continued to pretend as if nothing had happened. She had breakfast with her and tried to annoy her as much as possible. Concerned about Mercedes’ health and with the stir of the photos and public opinion, Vanessa decides to stay at home for the time being.

As for the paperwork that had to be processed at the company, he also had Enrique take it straight home.

-Well, you mind your own business, don’t worry about me.

Mercedes smiled and patted Vanessa’s hand to show that she was fine.

-Good.

Vanessa nodded and took Enrique upstairs to the study to talk business.

-How are things going in the company once the news is in the papers? Have you been affected a lot?

Enrique had been worried about Vanessa, fearing she would have a nervous breakdown if she saw the photos. With a heavy heart, he arrived at Cazalla’s house with the documents, but was relieved to see Vanessa. She was very strong and didn’t look like she was going to break easily.

-Stocks have taken some hits and have gone down, and the reputation is more or less stable at the moment in… and the situation is under control.

“Better than expected.”

Vanessa nodded and took the papers Enrique had brought and opened them.

-Tell the PR department to monitor the online opinion and, if any of the words are too insulting, report directly to the legal department and send a letter from the lawyer. Also, have the PR department contact the newspaper and ask them to withdraw the article and publicly apologise for infringing on their reputation and portrait rights. If anything, let the lawyers do the talking.

-All right.

After giving a series of orders, Vanessa set to work.

For his part, Enrique began to make phone calls, to the legal department, to the public relations department… as well as taking calls from some of his partners. In short, while Vanessa was busy, he was busy all the time.

-Bang.

Orlando grimaced and broke the expensive ornaments placed on his desk, Juan pursed his lips and stared in silence.

-Melina, you damned woman, how dare you set me up!

She had saved more than one photo and had tricked him into believing that she had deleted them all, but had hidden one copy and posted it directly.

“Bitch!”

-You take care of the rest.

He was going to find Melina and make the bitch who had cheated him pay.

-Mr Orlando, the matter assigned to you by the President has not yet been dealt with.

-You deal with it directly.

Orlando didn’t feel like working now and walked away with a cold face.

John looked in the direction he was going and placed his glasses on the bridge of his nose.

Orlando hung up his phone in annoyance and headed straight for Melina’s villa.

It turned out to be a bet.

Drove again because Melina was in hospital with the bastard. Only to be told that Melina had been discharged with the baby.

-Shit.

He could not resist and, with an irritated flurry of foul language, headed back to the Moya family home.

-Sir.

Jaime was worried when he saw Orlando’s sombre face.

-Is that whore around?

-Lady…

-Don’t call her Madam, she doesn’t deserve it! Jaime, remember that. In this house, the only wife I recognise is Vanessa. As for Melina… she’s nothing but a whore, backed only by her grandfather.

Orlando said disdainfully, his eyes full of disgust.

Melina heard the commotion downstairs and was sure that Orlando would come looking for her when the photos were sent. To avoid his revenge, she even took the child out of the hospital despite the doctor’s objections and brought him directly to the Moya family.
