Chapter 503: Final News
Even a voice in Alonso’s mind kept swelling.
If, before Lucas’ Dylan had found his way here, he had made Vanessa promise to stay with him and be his, would Vanessa then steadfastly refuse to return to the other man even if he came to her door?
This thought grew wildly in the back of her mind.
And with this thought came an obsession.
To make Vanisa his.
As long as Vanisa was his, he would be with him for sure, according to Vanisa’s character.
Whether Vanisa wanted it or not, he was going to make her his!
The thought was so strong that Alonso still had his senses. He feared Vanessa would hate herself and never forgive herself for the rest of her life. There was still time for him, so he was patient.
He wanted Vanessa to agree to be with him willingly, not in a forced way that would make her hate him.
He had to get away from Vanessa before the demons in his heart became unstoppable.
From that day on, and every day for a week after, Alonso came back and left in a hurry. He seemed so busy coming and going that he didn’t even have time to sit down and talk to Vanessa.
I knew Alonso was deliberately avoiding himself.
-Hello.
Vanessa couldn’t help but sigh.
She really didn’t know what to do to make the situation better.
To her, Alonso was good and had been good to her. A lifesaver, a friend and a family member. Such a presence made it impossible for Vanessa to make a face of circumstance or say anything harsh.
What’s more, Alonso didn’t even give her the time of day.
Smiling bitterly, Vanessa felt a little bored of being in the village all the time and decided to go for a walk.
It was a particularly picturesque village, close to the sea, where the sound of the waves could be heard from far away. There are also many flower fields in the surrounding area, with all kinds of colourful flowers.
It is also a tourist destination, with many visitors.
-Miss Vanisa.
-Yes, I want to go for a walk.
Vanessa smiled as she looked at the bodyguard who had stayed behind to protect her in the villa.
-I’m sorry, I have to ask the boss first.
-Okay.
Vanessa nodded, remembering what Alonso had said about Graciela becoming increasingly unruly lately and likely to turn on herself, she naturally assumed that the bodyguard was only asking Alonso for her safety.
Little did she know that the bodyguard was not there to protect her, but to spy on her.
The call was answered quickly.
-Yes, Mr. Alonso, we will take care of Miss Vanisa.
Hanging up the phone, the bodyguard looked at Vanessa respectfully: “Mr. Alonso said yes, but you must bring your bodyguard.
-Very well then.
In fact Vanessa wanted to go for a walk alone, but since Alonso had said so, she wouldn’t object.
At most, she felt a little uncomfortable.
-Let’s go.
There was a beautiful sea of flowers not far from the door, so Vanessa just walked.
Anyway, it was nice to walk.
The bodyguard is always two steps behind Vanessa, keeping an eye on the surroundings.
Vanessa tries to ignore the bodyguard’s presence and enjoys the beautiful scenery in front of her.
After a short walk and feeling better, Vanessa returns.
The country, Peaceful City.
-I found it!
Lucas burst into Dylan’s office with a joyful expression on his face, forgetting to even knock on the door.
He rushed forward and handed over the information in his hand.
-Look! We found Alonso!
Dylan took the file and read it. There were pictures of Vanessa walking around with her bodyguards, including the villa she lived in, the number of bodyguards there were, etc.
-I’m going there now.
-Where is Candy? Take her with you?
-Take him with you. Don’t tell him so much yet, just tell him it’s a trip out and it’s picturesque over there. It’s a nice view, so it’s good to go there and have fun.
-I’m coming with you.
Said Lucas, puffing out his chest.
-No.
Dylan refused mercilessly.
-You’ll lose me that way.
-Oh.
Dylan’s tone doesn’t even rise or fall, clearly not caring about Lucas as a partner, especially coldly.
The village.
-Dad’s taking Candy abroad to play?
Cecilia looked at Dylan with a happy face, she wasn’t happy that she could go abroad, but that her father was going to play with her!
That’s great!
-Yes. Does Candy want to go there first?
-Yes.
Cecilia nodded vigorously.
-Let’s finish packing and leave this afternoon.
-Okay.
Cecilia nodded again.
She turned around and went back to her bedroom, took her special little suitcase out of the wardrobe and opened it, and began to carefully select what she needed to take with her.
She was so adept at this that she had obviously done it many times before.
Even in Vanessa’s absence as a mother, Dylan had done a good job of raising her daughter.
I wondered if Vanessa would be thrilled when she saw him.
-Dad, I’m already packed.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Dylan knocked on the door and walked into his daughter’s bedroom, checking her unpacked suitcases to make sure she hadn’t missed anything before letting her close her suitcase. He knelt down and rewarded his daughter with a kiss.
-Daddy’s candy is the best.
Dylan took Cecilia away on a private jet that afternoon, and Lucas rubbed shamelessly against her.
As Cecilia slept, Lucas whispered to Dylan, “The advance guard has moved in to make sure Alonso is taken care of this time and doesn’t run away early again. Also, the Rasgado family and the Dávalos family are ready to go. As soon as we take Vanessa away, they will take Alonso to marry Graciela.
So, Dylan was really ruthless.
With Alonso’s dislike for Graciela, it would annoy him if the two of them got married and were tied together for life.
And there’s nothing in it for Graciela.
Even if she marries Alonso, she won’t have a good life ahead of her.
These two are destined to kill each other, and there is no way to get rid of them without the death of one of them. But if one of them dies, will the other and her family be better off?
The answer is obviously no.
Is it bad enough?
They deserved it, because they had to offend Dylan.
-Yes.
Lucas said for a good while, but Dylan just made a muffled, noble, cold, mostly high-handed sound.
Lucas…
Never mind, he’d better get some rest.
A small town.
Unexpectedly, Vanessa was glad to see Alonso at the table.
-Are you finished? I see you’ve been out of town every day lately, it must be tough.
-It’s fine.
Alonso smiled.
A week had been the limit, and there was no way he could contain the demons inside him any longer. And the news he received yesterday was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
