Deep love: insatiable lover

-Sir!

The passer-by shouted hurriedly, but Alonso’s figure quickly disappeared into the crowd.

-How strange.

Clutching the camera in his hand, Alonso’s mind filled with anxiety and panic.

He didn’t dare think about why Vanessa had suddenly left without even picking up the camera. Only in his mind was he worried about her well-being, about what had happened to her and whether she might be in danger.

Alonso searched anxiously through the crowd, but there were so many people that it was almost difficult to move.

It was not easy to find someone in a sea of people.

-Shit!

Alonso blurted out anxiously, oblivious to the crowd around him, pushing them out of his way as he searched like a fly on the wall.

On the other side, Vanessa had in her head the idea of finding the father and daughter. Weaving anxiously through the crowd, she tried to say their names, but opened her mouth only to discover that she had no idea.

-What’s wrong with you people?

-I’m sorry.

Vanessa hurried to apologise to the person she had collided with and crossed to continue her search through the crowd.

It was obvious that they had only been gone a short time, and wherever this father and daughter were, there was sure to be a large crowd of people looking around taking pictures and talking excitedly, but she had searched for a long time and there was no sign of them.

They hadn’t left, had they?

Vanessa thought, and her eyes became anxious.

-How could there be none? How could there be none?

Vanessa muttered to herself as she searched. The crowd she barely passed looked at her with disgust, but seeing her look of madness they thought she was probably crazy and didn’t bother with her.

-Wow, how nice, I finally have a picture of them as father and daughter!

A bewildered Vanessa heard the joyful exclamations of a girl next to her and, without thinking, rushed forward and grabbed her arm, without even knowing how hard.

-What are you doing?

-Show me the pictures of the father and daughter, show me their pictures!

-Who are you? Nutcase! Who am I to let you watch.

Anyone would have been angry and annoyed at being grabbed for no reason and with such force and rudeness. The girl glared at Vanessa, and her companion beside her glared at her.

-What are you doing?

-Let me see the picture of the father and daughter, please.

Vanessa was worried about Dylan and Cecilia and wanted to see the photo to confirm it.

It was like a madman to see her eagerness, but you could feel her anxiety. The girl unconsciously showed him the photo on her phone and sure enough it was Cecilia and Dylan.

-Where are they? Where did you take the photo?

-It’s not far away.

-Thank you!

Vanessa thanked him and quickly followed in the direction he pointed.

Unfortunately, there were none yet.

-How can there be none? Where the hell did he go?

Vanessa looked around anxiously, searching, but there were so many people. There were many people laughing, couples and families and friends, but only the person she was looking for was missing.

The show was livelier in the area and the crowd was rowdy.

Vanessa didn’t pay attention and was hit hard. She fell in a heap in a dimly lit corner.

And not far away, the father and daughter she had been longing for were in the crowd, heading against the flow of people.

-Candy baby, how’s it going, is it still hard?

-It’s not so bad.

Cecilia shook her head and Dylan was relieved.

Dylan was surprised when Cecilia suddenly dropped to her knees, her face sweaty and pale, not feeling well.

Dylan asked her if it was her tummy that was bothering her before lifting her up and heading for the main entrance.

Cecilia’s little arms were around Dylan’s neck and she was leaning on his shoulder, frowning in anguish.

Suddenly.

-Mummy! Dad, I see mum.

-Where?

Dylan turned unconsciously to look, but there was no sign of Vanessa, except for the strange tide of people.

The surge of excitement froze instantly and was filled with disappointment.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

-Why did he leave?

Cecilia searched for a long time, but her mother’s shadow faded and was nowhere to be seen.

Perhaps, she thought, she was having an illusion because she was so overwhelmed. She was the one who looked bad, but let her father go on in hope and disappointment.

-I’m sorry, Dad, maybe I misunderstood.

-It’s OK.

Dylan smiled and kissed his daughter’s face, hugging her as he went on his way.

This time Cecilia didn’t dare move, lying obediently on her father’s shoulder, but her eyes filled with tears because she missed her mother. She dared not cry, for she did not want her father to look even more worried, so she had to restrain herself.

Why wasn’t it Mum?

Why has it disappeared?

-Vanisa, Vanisa, are you okay?

Seeing Vanessa, whom he had been anxiously searching for, slumped in a corner, Alonso’s heart lifted and he rushed to help the person up, looking at her with concern and asking questions.

-I’m fine.

Vanessa’s head was lowered, her eyes full of loss.

He had not found the father and daughter after all.

-Is everything all right?

-Just an accidental fall, it’s really nothing.

Alonso’s brow was still furrowed, not relaxed by Vanessa’s words.

-Come on, let’s go back. I’ll check you when we get back and see if you’re hurt.

Alonso didn’t ask why he had suddenly run away, and Vanessa didn’t say.

Both avoided the question by tacit agreement.

On the way back, Alonso occasionally glanced at Vanessa in the passenger seat through the rear-view mirror.

His head was leaning against the window, his dark hair obscured part of his face and it was impossible to make out his expression.

She seemed to be in a daze.

Alonso’s grip on the steering wheel tightened and the feeling that he might soon lose Vanessa suddenly grew in his mind. Such a feeling displeased him and almost awakened the sleeping beast in his heart.

I didn’t want Vanessa to leave, I wouldn’t let her leave.

From the moment he picked it up, it was his.

The two men were silent all the way, each with his own thoughts.

-I’m really well.

When they arrived at Alonso’s flat, he insisted on examining Vanessa, worried about where she might have fallen, but Vanessa shook her head, smiling and saying she was fine.

Seeing the distraction in her smile, Alonso did not press her further.

-Go take a shower and get a good night’s sleep. Let me know if you feel sick tomorrow, okay?

-Mmm,” Vanessa nodded, “You can go to bed early, too.

-Good evening.

-Good evening.

Vanessa smiled reluctantly and turned around to go upstairs.

Alonso saw her leave before the emotions hidden deep in his heart showed on her face. His face was sombre, his gaze sharp. After sitting in the living room for a while, he got up and went to the study, coldly looking for someone to regain surveillance of the scene.

But after seeing it again and again, I still didn’t understand why Vanessa had suddenly got up and left.

The area was so large and crowded that he could not find any useful clues.

The feeling of being out of control made Alonso anxious.
