Chapter 130: The inner evil Adán Rouco
Adán Rouco drove the Spyker, outside La Villa Rouco.
The windows were wide open and the night breeze blew in coolly before dispelling some of his irritation.
He made a call directly.
“I’ll be right there.”
A soft female voice was heard, “Yes, I’ll wait for you.”
Adán Rouco arrives at the door of an apartment building, enters directly into the hallway and gets into the elevator.
Arriving at the door, he knocked a couple of times and was greeted by a young woman, without the vibrant and fresh look of Estrella Berrocal’s age, but very friendly and charming.
Julieta Sarinana bent down to pick up her slippers and placed them at Adán Rouco’s feet, smiling, “It’s been a while since you came to see me, what’s wrong, your old problem?”.
Adán Rouco pursed his lips and emitted an indifferent “hmm” as he finished changing his shoes.
Juliet Sarinana closed the door behind her and followed him into the living room.
Juliet Sarinana poured him a glass of water and handed it to him, “Have a drink first.”
Adán Rouco took a sip of the water and leaned back in a cushioned armchair, saying quietly, “I’ve been having dreams again in my sleep about Analena Lozada, and she’s asking me for help, but I can’t do anything.”
Juliet Sarinana sat across from him and asked quietly, “Why is this happening, it hasn’t been a long time since you dreamed about her.”
Adán Rouco pursed his lips, refusing to say anything, avoiding the subject altogether.
But how could Juliet Sarinana, one of the world’s leading psychologists, not guess?
“Adam, have you gone to the beach again?”.
There were only two reasons for him to have a seizure, one was that Jonathan Tasis had provoked it, the other was that his visit to the beach had brought back memories.
“I went to Beach Island.”
Julieta Sarinana frowned: “La Isla de la Playa is where Analena Lozada died, why did you go there? As I told you, if it were a normal demon, you would face it head on and in fact there is a chance you would let go of your fears and even get cured, but Analena Lozada’s death is a very heavy trauma for you, you face it head on and you either get over it or you thwart it.”
The year Analena Lozada died, Adán Rouco was only twenty-two years old and young, and for a whole year after that shock, he locked himself in his house and refused to see anyone.
Julieta Sarinana, then a medical student, returned from the United States to help Adán Rouco, and it took a total of six months to restore him to normal life.
Adán Rouco is a tough and determined man in the business world, but only Julieta Sarinana knows that this seemingly invulnerable man has a vulnerability in his heart, and it is a vulnerability that can be very deadly.
When Adán Rouco could not overcome the death of Analena Lozada, he suffered from depression, but it was not serious and it took medication, physiotherapy and Julieta Sarinana’s advice to bring him out of that shadow zone.
“I didn’t want to face it. When the Beach Island fell into the sea, I thought it would be good to die, that I wouldn’t have to carry the guilt and uncertainty.”
Julieta Sarinana shook her head, “Adam, you are not weak, you are the strongest man I have ever met, any other person with a conscience probably would not have been able to accept the guilt and the demons, I know you blame yourself for Analena Lozada’s death, but it was an accident, you did not know it would happen, you are not a god, you can make mistakes in your judgment, don’t live with yourself, okay?”
“I trusted my judgment too much, it was bent, the sky was dark, I knew it was going to be stormy and it could be stormy, but I was just proud that I could work it out and I didn’t think we were that unlucky.”
Julieta Sarinana asked again: “Why all of a sudden the Beach Island? But now, it’s not even the anniversary of Analena Lozada’s death.”
Adán Rouco did not want to tell her, so Julieta Sarinana did not ask again.
But in his mind he wondered who Adam could be doing this for, if not for Analena Lozada, who had gone to Beach Island.
“You haven’t been to the sea since Analena Lozada’s accident ten years ago, and even on the anniversary of her death, you only went to lay flowers on her tombstone.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Could it be, could it be Paulita’s own mother?
I knew that Adam had recently found Paulita’s mother and had taken the woman to live at La Villa Rouco, and that she was his nominal wife, could it be because of her?
But how could Adam be so attached to that woman after such a short time?
…
Early the next morning, the Rouco Group building.
Inside the president’s office
Santino Yepes spoke cautiously: “Boss, there is something … that I don’t know if I should comment on”.
Adán Rouco did not even raise his face, kept looking at his papers and said in a cold voice: “If you know you should not say it, don’t say it”.
“…”
Santino Yepes bit his tongue.
Only after a while did Adam Rouco raise his dark eyes and give her a cold stare, his thin lips spitting out a single word: “Speak!”
“Miss Star has gone to work for Yahua Film and Television Company…”
The man’s eyes cooled a dozen degrees, and Santino Yepes could even feel the air freeze around him.
Suddenly he regretted having told Adán Rouco …
“BOSS, Miss Star may have her own reasons for going to work for Yahua Film and Television Company, perhaps because she felt that Yahua Film and Television Company was a better fit for her…”
The man grunted, “Yahua film and television company is better suited to it?”.
He saw that she just wanted to be near Jonathan Tasis.
She didn’t believe anything he said, but she believed everything Jonathan Tasis said!
Is he your man, or is it Jonathan Tasis?
Adán Rouco’s brow furrowed as he asked: “Does Perla Prats know about this?
Santino Yepes was perplexed: “I think Miss Perla Prats knows. …”
Perla Prats is Jonathan Tasis’ girlfriend and Estrella Berrocal’s best friend, so wouldn’t she know that Estrella Berrocal has jumped ship with Jonathan Tasis?
Adán Rouco does not believe it: “I don’t believe it”.
After the departure of Santino Yepes, Adán Rouco called Perla Prats directly.
Upon answering the call, Perla Prats asked curiously, “Brother-in-law, why do you have time to call me at this hour, if you are such a busy man?”
Shouldn’t my brother-in-law be celebrating a high-level meeting with a cup of chai during a golden morning like this?
Why did he have time to call her, being a busy man?
“Did you know about Estrella Berrocal’s jump to the Yahua Film and Television Company?”
Perla Prats was stunned for a moment, “Estrella? The Yahua Film and Television Company? No brother-in-law, when did you get to know Estrella so well?”.
“I’m her husband, why don’t I know her well?”.
Perla Prats was surprised: “Brother-in-law, you’re not pulling my leg, are you?
Adán Rouco didn’t bother talking to her and got straight to the point, “Perla Prats, your boyfriend takes such good care of your best friend, Estrella Berrocal just left the Rouco Group and your boyfriend immediately offered her an offer. your boyfriend?”
Perla Prats is tough: “But if Estrella steals my boyfriend, won’t that be the same as turning you green, brother-in-law? Brother-in-law, you’re so handsome and so well endowed that I’m sure Estrella won’t budge.”
It is natural.
The man took a profile: “Estrella Berrocal won’t do it, but there’s no guarantee that Jonathan Tasis won’t.”
Perla Prats, over there, was so completely frozen with fear that she couldn’t even utter a sound.
If Estrella saw Jonathan Tasis every day at Yahua Film and Television Company, the two of them working together, eating together, there was no guarantee that the spark wouldn’t fly!
She trusts Estrella’s character and her strength of character, but Jonathan Tasis … Jonathan Tasis’ attitude towards her is not warm and fuzzy and she is not sure about him!
No, I had to get Estrella out of the Yahua Film and Television Company!
