Estrella Berrocal approached the Maybach, raised her hand and tapped hard on the window, which rolled down slowly and the man sat in the back seat as if waiting for her.
Estrella Berrocal stood outside the car with no intention of getting in and frowned: “President Rouco, it’s office time, why did you call me here?
Adán Rouco’s tone was calm, but also unmistakable: “Get in the car”.
She stood still, not moving, and the man looked at her coldly, “Or would you prefer me to come down and take you up?”
The words were a clear threat.
Estrella Berrocal bit her lip and reluctantly opened the door and got into the car.
As soon as she got into the car, the man reached out his left hand and pulled her, and she fell unsuspectingly into the arms of Adán Rouco.
“Adán Rouco … let go of me!”
She looked at him with annoyance, but instead of releasing her, the man ducked his head to approach her with a frown.
It had a fresh masculine scent and a hint of tobacco, and its masculinity was evident in Adán Rouco.
Estrella Berrocal sinks deeper unconsciously, fearing that one day she will fall completely into this swamp and no matter how much she cries, no one will pull her out.
Adam Rouco’s forehead presses against hers, and as he feels the warmth of her forehead, his tense brow relaxes, and with a sigh, he asks in a muffled whisper, “Is your fever completely gone, and is there anything else bothering you?”
Estrella Berrocal’s heart fluttered and she looked at him in disbelief.
Had he come to Yahua Film and Television Company just to see if his fever had gone down?
He looked unconsciously at Adán Rouco, and his teary eyes met his soft gaze, and he turned his eyes away, saying coldly, “Lucrecia Javier has your son, you should worry about her, not me.”
Adam Rouco’s dark eyes were deep and focused on her, his long fingers cupping her chin and turning her face toward him, “Are you really jealous, or are you just jealous?”
Her voice held little emotion, neither joy nor anger could be heard, and the gaze that inspected her was calm, quietly cool.
Estrella Berrocal’s heart stuttered and lost its rhythm: “What do you mean …?”.
“What exactly did you do with Jonathan Tasis the other night, at his house?”.
Adam Rouco was not so generous as to come clean about his wife having sex with Jonathan Tasis.
If it had been any girlfriend who had cheated on him with another man, he might not have cared so much, he would have broken up with her and thrown her out of the circle.
Estrella Berrocal’s gaze froze, but her heart was full of aggression and she faced him for a few seconds before her eyes finally turned red: “And you, what did you do with that woman at the Blue Bay Public House? that night?”
The man narrowed his dark eyes and squeezed her chin with his long fingers a little harder, “Is that why you went to Jonathan Tasis’ house?”
“Why shouldn’t I spend the night at another man’s house when you can spend the night with another woman!”
Adán Rouco raised an eyebrow, his large hand squeezed tightly around his waist.
“Don’t you dare!”
Estrella Berrocal was dizzy from the fever and lack of food in the morning, and when he hit her so hard, tears fell from her eyes and she screamed at him, “I wouldn’t dare! You are with so many women, why can’t I be with other men!”.
Adán Rouco’s anger was so strong that it bit his collarbone and made it bleed!
As a brand, no doubt declaring its ownership.
It hurt.
The man brought her into his arms and asked, “Did Jonathan Tasis touch you here? Or here? Hmm?”
Estrella Berrocal clenched her hands, “No … Jonathan Tasis didn’t touch me.”
After forcing her to say this, Adam Rouco’s grim face, only slightly improved, the man stopped torturing her, but his thin lips pressed against her ear in a cold and solemn warning, “If you let another man touch you, I won’t mind destroying you.”
The too-chilling sound of his voice, as he clasped her in his arms, made her shiver.
But Adán Rouco was now gently helping her get dressed again, even fastening her buttons, nothing like the man who had just intimidated her.
She bit her lip and asked angrily, “You forbid me to be intimate with any man other than you, but what about you, Adán Rouco, who got Lucrecia Javier pregnant, who slept with that woman from the Bahia Azul Public House …. ”
Before she could finish her interrogative words, Adán Rouco had already interrupted her: “And if I say no?
Estrella Berrocal’s watery eyes shook hard and she froze.
Adán Rouco looked down and helped her smooth out her messy clothes, his voice soft and muted he began, “I had no substantial relationship with Lucrecia Javier, least of all with the one at the Blue Bay Public House.”
What?
It had nothing to do with Lucrecia Javier?
How is this possible?
Didn’t Jonathan Tasis say …
As Adán Rouco buttoned the last button of her shirt, his dark eyes looked straight into hers, watery. “Estrella, if I am honest with you, shouldn’t you be honest with me too?”.
Honest with him?
How could I forget that even without Lucrecia Javier, without the Blue Bay Public House… there would still be lies and a million impossibilities between them.
I would have preferred that Adán Rouco had no heart with her, so that perhaps she would die and be less likely to go soft on him.
But now that he had shed all his indifference and was being kind to her, Estrella Berrocal found that she could not resist in the least.
“I… I have to get back to work.”
Estrella Berrocal just wanted to escape, and turned to head for the car door to get out.
“… Why did you have to postpone the meeting to come and see me, you don’t have to be so nice to me.”
“Do you? Is that what you really mean?”
