Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Estrella Berrocal, with a cold face, hugged Paulita and headed for the office lounge.

Adán Rouco stared at the small woman’s back, frowning slightly.

When had he ever been more patient with Dante than with Paulita?

In the living room, Estrella Berrocal cuddled Paulita for a while, but the little girl was still warm and had cried herself to sleep, so it didn’t take long for her to fall asleep in Estrella Berrocal’s arms.

When Adán Rouco came in after finishing his paperwork, he saw that Estrella Berrocal was looking at Paulita with gentleness.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

I had never looked at him with such tenderness.

Estrella Berrocal heard the living room door open and close, turned her head towards him, pursed her lips and said with unmistakable seriousness: “Adán Rouco, let’s talk”.

Estrella Berrocal left the living room and closed the door behind her.

“What do you want to talk to me about?”.

It was Adán Rouco who spoke first.

Estrella Berrocal took a deep breath and plucked up the courage to say, “We may be a pretend couple, but you can’t erase the fact that I am Paulita’s real mother.”

The man stared at her, “I have not erased that fact.”

“…” Estrella Berrocal said after a pause, “So, I also have custody of Paulita, who is now the only family in the world that I am with I have custody of Paulita, who is now the only relative in the world that is related to me by blood.”

The man’s voice turned cold, “So, what are you trying to say?”

“Paulita is the only one for me, but not for you, I know you prefer Dante, can I have custody of Paulita…?”

With those words, Estrella Berrocal only felt the gaze over her head like a cold, stern knife.

Adán Rouco was a fearsome man, his status, his innate strength and power were something that many feared, and Estrella Berrocal trembled to stand before such a man and fight him in a matter she had little chance of winning.

In addition, that man’s gaze was cold, cold, deep and made Estrella Berrocal’s pores bristle with sweat.

He swallowed saliva and spoke dryly, “I know that what I can give Paulita is not as good as what the Rouco family has, but I will take care of her with all my love, I …”

Before she could finish her words, the man coldly interrupted her, “What makes you think I would give you that opportunity?”

This woman, who was now talking about the custody of Paulita, what, did she want to take her daughter completely away from her world?

Estrella Berrocal clenched her fist, a thin sweat permeated the palm of her hand. “I’m taking Paulita, on the one hand, my wish is fulfilled, and on the other, it will be good for you.”

Huh? Take Paulita or for her sake?

The man was silent, his dark, hawk-like eyes just staring at her for a long moment.

Estrella Berrocal’s heart was pounding as she said stiffly, “With Paulita in the Rouco family, there will always be a barrier between you and Olivia Montes, and there is still a little … between you and Olivia Montes.”

The man grabbed her arm and pulled her into his arms unexpectedly, his long, slender hands encircled her back, their bodies, almost pressed together, and their eyes, too, converged.

“You think I wouldn’t want Paulita for Olivia Montes, Estrella Berrocal, you’re too presumptuous?”

Such an intimate position made her blush unconsciously, “I … I do it for your sake, if I take Paulita, you can give all your love to Olivia Montes and …”

“Even if you took Paulita with you, would Paulita be willing?”

Estrella Berrocal’s watery eyes trembled, yes, Paulita had grown up in the Rouco family, here she had her family, her grandfather and her loving father, for Paulita she was just an outsider who had suddenly entered the little girl’s life….

Adán Rouco saw how she wanted to take Paulita away from him, and the fire in his heart was lit!

He was in the midst of his thoughts when the man’s cold face suddenly approached and before he could pull away, his lips warmed and he captured her soft lips.

“Mmmm…”

Estrella Berrocal tried to push him away, who was surprised when the man pinned her down and pinned her against the large desk, his erect male body pressing oppressively!

The man’s thin lips pressed against hers, and he spoke coldly, word for word: “You want to take Paulita away from me, from the Rouco family, don’t even think about it.”

When Estrella Berrocal became aware of Adán Rouco’s anger, the man was already biting her neck hard, making one mark after another, and she panicked just as his large hands were about to remove her clothes.

“Adán Rouco … no … this is an office …”

The man sneered at her, “Weren’t you enthusiastic the last time you were in the office?”.

There was a cold mockery and humiliation under his unfathomable eyes.

Last time it was by a ghost, but this time it was reluctantly, and the feeling of such a thing changed completely.

Estrella Berrocal resisted even more: “I don’t want … you to let go of me …!”

Adam Rouco’s movements were too forceful, he had always taken what he wanted, who he wanted, and there was nothing he could not get, his natural pride and masculine dignity did not allow him to fail in anything or anyone, what he could not have, he destroyed.

“Estrella Berrocal, make me happy as long as I’m still interested in your body and maybe I’ll let you visit Paulita a few more times in the future!”.

Estrella Berrocal shouted angrily and looked at him with reddened eyes, but he was pushing her with Paulita and she began to unbutton her dress with trembling fingers while shedding tears. “That’s what you want, I’m already impure anyway, so what am I going to give you a few more times for!”

Unclean? How many times did she think she had slept with him and that made her unclean?

Adán Rouco’s dark eyes were full of anger and he lost all interest until Estrella Berrocal threw her arms around his neck and, with a frown, pushed his hands away.

Estrella Berrocal, unsuspecting and unsupported, was pushed by him and fell off the desk, landing first on her hands and hitting her injured arm on the floor.

Adam Rouco’s eyes fluttered and he wanted to bend down and pick her up, but he held back because of the fire he still had in his heart.

Estrella Berrocal, her eyes red and teary, clutched at the table and struggled to get up from the floor. Just as she was about to leave, wrapped in her torn and disheveled clothes, Adán Rouco finally looked away, dragged her into his arms and, with a jerk, chained her to the sofa.
