Deep love: insatiable lover

Looking at Benjamin with a grim look on his face, Enrique knew he shouldn’t come up with anything.

-Shit, what the hell does Dylan want?

With a low curse of indignation, Henry whispered in a depressed voice.

-He said that Vanessa was not in a good state of mind and that she needed to recover and adjust. I haven’t even seen Vanessa’s face, Dylan won’t allow it. He is determined to put Vanessa under house arrest and restrict her freedom.

-This is too much!

Enrique could not help but say that he could not do anything against Dylan.

-I’ll think of something else.

Benjamin’s sombre look said that he had only recently taken leave from the army, but he didn’t have many days left. He had to find a way to deal with Dylan and look after Isabel at the same time.

Although he didn’t want to admit it, Dylan’s words still left a deep impression on Benjamin’s heart.

He was also worried that Isabel might be paranoid enough to do something to harm Vanessa.

The two men looked at each other wordlessly, anxious but helpless.

Enrique had just finished packing his things when he received a call from Mercedes, and when he heard that she was coming to see him, he rushed over.

-Mrs Mercedes.

The thought of not being able to bring Vanessa back, leaving her trapped with Dylan, sent a pang of guilt through Enrique’s heart.

She kept her head down, not daring to look Mercedes in the eye.

-Enrique, tell me the truth, where the hell is Vanessa?

From the moment Benjamin approached her, Mercedes felt uncomfortable anyway.

She wanted to ask Enrique herself, to confirm Vanessa’s news for herself. If she could, she wanted to see her in person.

-Chief is…

Mercedes’ eyes were full of a mother’s expectations, and Enrique could not bear to disappoint her.

Or maybe if Mrs Mercedes knew that Jefa was with Dylan and went to him, she could let Jefa back in?

Once this thought had arisen, it was difficult to remove.

Enrique responded:

-Mrs. Mercedes, it’s like this….

-You mean Vanessa is at Dylan’s house now?

-Yes.

Henry finished, ducking his head in growing guilt, not daring to look Mercedes in the eye for fear of seeing the disappointment in her gaze.

I couldn’t believe it was at Dylan’s house.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

The thought of Vanessa’s entanglement with Dylan made Mercedes feel worried.

The condition he had managed to control had almost returned and he took a deep breath to force himself not to collapse.

He had to bring his daughter back as soon as possible.

-I’m going to look for Dylan.

-Mrs. Mercedes, you…

-Don’t worry, I’ll bring Vanessa back.

Anyway, she was Vanessa’s mother, and Dylan could not refuse not to give Vanessa away.

-I will accompany you.

With her uncle already in trouble, she really didn’t know how she was going to deal with Vanessa if anything else happened to Mrs. Mercedes.

-All right, come with me.

Early the next morning, Enrique headed to the SJ Group with Mercedes.

-Sir, Miss Vanessa’s mother is here.

Dylan looked up and frowned:

-With whom?

-Miss Vanessa’s secretary, Enrique.

-Let them come up.

Sooner or later, he would have to face it.

Mateo nodded and went out, and soon had Enrique and Mercedes upstairs.

-Enrique, wait outside.

-But…

Henry could not trust Mercedes to stand up to Dylan alone, but she was so determined that Henry had no choice but to nod.

He stood outside and watched with concern as Mercedes entered Dylan’s office.

-Mrs Mercedes.

Dylan stood up and greeted her personally. But Mercedes ignored his greeting. Dylan was not embarrassed and withdrew his hand naturally.

Mercedes sat down and got down to business:

-Mr. Dylan, my daughter has been with you long enough to be off duty and I would like you to let her go. In any case, you are now a man with a fiancée, and must have no further dealings with my daughter.

-It’s not that I don’t want to let Vanessa go, it’s just that she hasn’t been in a good mood and I want to let her come back when she’s stabilised.

-Mr Dylan is relieved that the Cazalla family is on the ground, but it is still possible to see a doctor. Since Vanessa is not in a good state of mind, it is all the more reason for her to return home and receive treatment. With her familiar surroundings at home and her close relatives, she will naturally get better faster.

Mercedes’ tone seemed gentle, but in reality it carried an implicit irresistibility.

Dylan could tell Benjamin to leave, but he couldn’t do it to Mercedes, who was a senior citizen and Vanessa’s mother anyway.

-Mrs. Mercedes, I can take you to see Vanessa if you are not sure, but in Vanessa’s current state it would be better if she stayed with me to continue her treatment.

Seeing Dylan’s continued refusal to commit, anger flashed in Mercedes’ eyes.

-Mr. Dylan, what the hell do you want? I don’t care about your relationship with Vanessa, but now that you are engaged and have a fiancée, how can you keep bothering Vanessa, when neither you nor the Leoz family are our problem?

Mercedes glared angrily at Dylan.

-Mrs. Mercedes, you are very kind.

How he could have spared Vanessa’s life.

-Mr. Dylan, I beg you, leave my daughter alone. I am on my knees here today for you.

When Mercedes finished, she got up and tried to kneel down.

-Mrs. Mercedes!

He hastened to reach out to help her and wrinkled his forehead to get her to sit up.

-If Mr Dylan won’t promise to let my daughter go, I won’t give up today. I don’t have long to live anyway, and if I can trade one of my lives for my daughter’s freedom, I’ll do it willingly.

Dylan did not expect Mercedes to be so determined.

There was certainly no way he was going to let Mercedes get down on her knees, let alone let anything happen to her. Because then Vanessa would surely never forgive herself for the rest of her life.

Now Dylan wouldn’t risk anything Vanessa cared about.

-Mrs Mercedes, you don’t have to do this.

Seeing Mercedes’ insistence on non-commitment, Dylan had no choice but to give in.

-I will send Vanessa back, I promise.

Mercedes knew it was not easy to get Dylan to let go.

As for getting him to release Vanessa, it simply wasn’t going to happen.

At least not now.

So Mercedes did not force the situation and each took a step back.

-I hope Mr Dylan will do what he says he will do.

-I will.

The objective was achieved and Mercedes left.

When she came out, Enrique rushed to greet her, looked at her with concern and asked:

-Mrs. Mercedes, is everything all right? Was Dylan in agreement?

-He has promised to send Vanessa back.

-Great.

Enrique sighed in relief, walked out with Mercedes looking darkly towards Dylan’s office.
