Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Estrella Berrocal looked at Adán Rouco with a slight smile in her eyes. “You’re only allowed to have been in love before, but not my story?”.

How could he be so overbearing?

Adam Rouco’s brow furrowed slightly and he grabbed her hand uneasily, his face a little cold and serious.

Estrella Berrocal looked at him for a few moments: “You’re not really angry, are you?”.

The man remained silent, saying nothing.

Estrella Berrocal, a little uneasy, hugged him and explained, “I have never made a bad face at Iván Martínez, only at you…”

If she had been pampered earlier, perhaps Iván Martínez would not have betrayed her.

If she had been more affectionate, Iván Martínez would not have hooked up with Irene Guillén, right?

“When I was with Iván Martínez, I wasn’t as open-minded or as outspoken, and that’s probably why Iván Martínez couldn’t resist dating Irene Guillén, if I …”

Before she could finish the sentence, Adán Rouco’s hands grabbed her around the waist and pulled her violently into his arms, her firm chest pressed against his softness.

“And when you were with Iván Martínez he didn’t touch you?”.

The question, direct and fiery at the same time, was asked as Estrella Berrocal’s small hands rested gently on her shoulders, her little red face sinking into her eyes as she said, “Didn’t you feel it when I, when I … had sex with you for the first time?”

Adam Rouco’s frown slowly relaxed.

Estrella Berrocal buried herself in his arms: “Adán Rouco, I’ve only had you, but I know you’ve had many women in the past, but from now on, can you be mine?

She knew that what had happened in the past was something she could not change, even if it bothered her, and she chose to accept it negatively.

Adán Rouco looked at her amused: “Who told you that I have had many women in the past?”.

Was it another one of his assumptions?

Estrella Berrocal blushed: “Aren’t you so skilled because you’ve been through so much?”.

“Are you congratulating me or are you scolding me?”.

Given Adán Rouco’s status and good looks, and the fact that he was so skilled … in bed, Estrella Berrocal did not believe him.

“Is it possible that there are men who were born to be experts in this area?”.

Adam Rouco watched her murmur and his heart softened as he took her in his arms and whispered sweetly in her ear, “Aside from the possibility of being feisty, why don’t you think it’s your man who has a first-rate understanding?”

“…”

His sudden words of affection were so overwhelming that Estrella Berrocal could hardly convince herself to question him.

Oh no, he was getting so far into it that he had lost all self-judgment, hadn’t he?

Wait, what did he just say?

Your man?

Estrella Berrocal thought her teenage heart had crashed and burned three years ago, but now, at the slightest mention of Adán Rouco’s name, it was instantly fried.

She suddenly feels grateful to Olivia Montes, that she wouldn’t have come to Beach Island to rest, that she wouldn’t have chased her here, and that they wouldn’t be sleeping in the same bed, hugging so tightly.

She had thought that her feelings for Adán Rouco were, at best, affectionate, but tonight, after learning of his accident, she realized that she had grown more than fond of him.

For the first time, Estrella Berrocal knew what it was like to be in love with someone who had never been in love, but already was.

I loved Adán Rouco, long before I knew it.

…

At sea, there was a boat with three people on board, two men and a woman.

The weather at sea was getting worse and worse, the sky, dark and sinking.

“Adam, let’s go around, the weather at sea is changeable, what if then the wind picks up and it rains a lot?”.

“Put on your life jackets, we’re almost to the island, it’s better to turn around now than to get to the island sooner.”

The ship was still two kilometers from the island when the storm hit and a large wave capsized the ship.

“Ah! Help, Jonathan, Adam!”

The girl drowned in the waves that enveloped and covered the sky!

“Analena Lozada! Where are you?”

“Analena! Analena…”Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

“Adam Rouco! Annalena Lozada is dead! It was your blind trust and your single-minded decision that killed her!”

“Adam Rouco! I will make you pay the price you deserve!”

In the storm, he knelt in the mud, his face indistinguishable through tears and rain.

“Adam Rouco, you are not worthy to kneel before Analena Lozada’s tombstone! Get out! Get out!”

“Adam Rouco, I want you to remember that it was you who killed Analena Lozada! You will never be happy again in your life! You owe it to me and to Analena Lozada!”

…

“Analena Lozada … Analena… Analena… Analena…”

Estrella Berrocal was drifting off to sleep when, suddenly, Adán Rouco grabbed her hand violently, with a grip so strong that it chilled her bones.

She opened her sleepy eyes to look at him, “Adam? Adam Rouco?”

His head was sweating and his brow was furrowed, was he having a nightmare?

“Analena … Analena …”

Estrella Berrocal put her ear to the ground to listen, and that was the name she heard.

Annalena?

He remembered what Jonathan Tasis had said and a shiver ran through his body.

“Adán Rouco had a first love, and for her he decided not to marry for life.”

Estrella Berrocal’s face suddenly turned white.

She looked incredulously at Adán Rouco; had she not forgotten her first love, who had died?

She didn’t try to wake him up again, she just let him hold her hand while she called “Analena” over and over again, and finally, with reddened eyes, Estrella Berrocal hugged him gently and said, “I’m here, I’m Analena. ”

Adán Rouco unconsciously clung to her, as if to sleep more peacefully.

But this investment made Estrella Berrocal’s heart ache even more.

He barely slept the rest of the night.

He could fight Olivia Montes, but how could he beat the dead woman in Adán Rouco’s heart?

Had Adán Rouco really accepted her just because she looked a little like his first love?

Could it even be that he had asked her to be a substitute because she looked a little like the one he had in mind?

…

The next morning, Adán Rouco woke up and unconsciously raised his hand to feel his side, which was empty.

He opened his dark eyes with a frown; Estrella Berrocal was no longer with him.

He looked around the room and ended up seeing her figure on the open terrace.

Adán Rouco got up and approached her, hugging her gently from behind. “Why did you wake up so early?”.

Estrella Berrocal was standing on the terrace, looking at the blue sea and the seagulls flying, but in a somewhat depressed mood.

“Are we leaving today to return to the City of the North?”.

“Do you still want to stay here for a few days?”.

Estrella Berrocal pursed her lips: “Of course I’d love to stay here for a few more days, but you’re in a hurry to get back to work, aren’t you?”.

Adán Rouco looked at her with a somewhat blank stare and, after a long silence, said, “How about we stay here for a couple of days and then come back?”

“Really?”

Estrella Berrocal looked at him with starry eyes and saw that Adán Rouco was nodding slightly.

The man lowered his head and whispered in her ear, “But for the time being, you’re going to do something for me…”.

Estrella Berrocal wondered, “What?”

“I don’t have a change of clothes with me, so go to the store and buy me two pairs of underwear.”

Estrella Berrocal blushed, how dare he send her to do such a thing!
