Deep love: insatiable lover

Vanessa didn’t expect to receive a call from Gerardo, because she had been very busy between the hospital and the company after the news about Orlando and Melina. So she didn’t have time to think about Gerardo either.

I really didn’t want to think why her grandfather, who had treated her so well, didn’t even make a phone call to comfort her when the news broke. Was he really unaware of this matter…?

All these doubts had a great impact on Vanessa, and she was not able to recognise it.

Then, she didn’t know the purpose of this call, when Gerard should have called her earlier if he was really a good grandfather, who was so fond of her.

Vanessa did not dare to deepen her thoughts, because Gerard was the grandfather she respected so much.

-Director Vanessa? -Enrique muttered.

At that point, Vanessa remembered that she was still in the project planning meeting and focused on the discussion of the plan.

It was half past two in the afternoon by the time the meeting was over and it was past lunchtime.

Since it was past lunchtime, Vanessa didn’t feel like eating, but she brought some milk and bread, which Enrique had brought her so that she wouldn’t get hypoglycaemic.

Vanessa had to go to Villa Moya tonight and had to finish all the work afterwards before leaving work.

So, she sat there all afternoon until the alarm went off.

Vanessa stopped writing and leaned back exhaustedly in her chair. She closed her dry, sore eyes from overuse and left.

At the Villa Moya, Vanessa came striding into the living room and saw that Gerardo was sitting on the sofa.

-Vanessa, you’re back, sit here,” Gerardo greeted Vanessa with a friendly smile.

-Good morning, grandfather.

Vanessa sat down next to him and looked down, looking very distant. Gerardo also noticed that she was behaving differently and felt a little angry at the thought of the scandals caused by his grandson.

-Vanessa, are you blaming me? -sighed Gerardo sadly.

-It was my fault, for not having raised Orlando well enough to cause that kind of scandal. His parents passed away soon and I’m an old man who doesn’t know how to educate that little girl….

Vanessa kept her eyes down and didn’t answer him, because she wasn’t an idiot and because of this incident she realised that she had been too innocent thinking that Gerard was a kind old man.

Clearly, Gerardo had to be a great character to be able to support the huge Moya family after the death of his children and all of Orlando’s actions would be under his watch.

So, as pitiful as his words were, Vanessa did not immediately encourage him as usual, and she was certainly not going to let the case go just because he pretended to be a poor old man.

Obviously, Gerard did not expect Vanessa to be indifferent, as it was an honour for everyone that someone as superior as he was would speak nicely. He felt embarrassed and irritated by Vanessa’s coldness and spoke in a more commanding tone:

-In any case, Orlando is to blame for the affair. Vanessa, don’t worry, you are his wife recognised by my words and no one will be able to give up your position. I will tell Orlando to apologise to you and promise not to make the same mistake. What do you think?

“A pardon and a promise?Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Vanessa scoffed in her heart, because she knew that Gerard had heard that her parents were hospitalised because of this affair, but she didn’t mention it at all.

-Grandpa, I know you’re the best and you always help me at the first moment. So I’d like to ask for your help,” said Vanessa with a polite, distant smile.

He said this to probe Gerardo and cheat for him.

Gerardo, like a cunning old man, was clearer than anyone else about Vanessa’s intentions, so he pretended to be by her side and said:

-Vanessa, don’t worry. I’ll support you and I won’t let Orlando offend you anymore,” Gerardo suddenly changed the subject. But marriage is serious, this mistake of Orlando’s doesn’t reach the point of divorce. I’m very old now and the only thing I want is for the good of my relatives. You and Orlando love each other and there must have been some misunderstanding in between. Forgive him, he won’t make any more mistakes and try to have a child to improve your relationship. You will be a happy family!

Wow, the grandfather he respected the most was telling him that he had to put up with having a child as a bond with Orlando!

“Ha!”

Vanessa criticised him inwardly, but did not show it in her expression.

It was true that she wanted to divorce Orlando, but she couldn’t be so impulsive, because she knew how spiteful he was. If she filed for divorce, Orlando would avenge the Cazalla Group.

So Vanessa had to hold on at least until this crisis in the Cazalla Group was over.

-But grandfather, Orlando betrayed me with my half-sister. You know how much it hurt me, then my father was hospitalised with anger and I had to take charge of the Cazalla Group. Really, it has hurt me a lot, but I’m going to put up with it because of your words. On the other hand, I would like you to accept my conditions.

Since she couldn’t get a divorce, Vanessa wasn’t stupid and was going to make the most of it by giving in. Besides, it was what Orlando owed her for her mistake.

-What conditions and what child? Tell me, how do you want me to punish Orlando?

-It’s really nothing. One is that I don’t want to see Orlando at the moment, because I’m still hurting from those injuries and I want him to guarantee that Orlando won’t bother me. And the other is that Melina should leave, because she is Orlando’s secretary. It’s not much of a request, is it?
