Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Estrella Berrocal’s body seemed to freeze, to remain motionless, contemplating the scene in astonishment.

In the half-light, Jerold Rouco and the other woman, kissing inseparably.

Dulcina Calvo couldn’t help but blurt out: “Fuck! What a scum!

Dulcina Calvo rolled up her sleeves and was about to go upstairs when Esteban Zaragosa stopped her.

“What are you doing? I’m going to wake that bastard up.”

Esteban Zaragosa looked at her with a clear brow and a contemptuous tone, “Only you?”.

Dulcina Calvo was furious: “Hmph, you despise me!”.

Esteban Zaragosa elegantly took off his white robe and handed it to Dulcina Calvo, indicating, “Take it.”

“What for?”

Before Dulcina Calvo’s perplexed gaze, Esteban Zaragosa, dressed in a simple white shirt, approached the bar with his long legs and the large, beautiful hand that normally wielded the scalpel, suddenly grabbed hold of Jerold Rouco’s shoulder and delivered a solid punch to the right side of his face.

Clementina Orihuela rushed to Jerold Rouco’s rescue: “Jerold Rouco, how are you?

Jerold Rouco wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his thumb and raised his dark eyes to stare at Esteban Zaragosa.

Esteban Zaragosa said in one word: “Come back to me”.

“You don’t understand, I’m not your good friend Adán Rouco!”.

With a strong punch, he hit Esteban Zaragosa.

Clementina Orihuela gestures to the bodyguards behind her and several black-clad bodyguards surround Esteban Zaragosa.

Dulcina Calvo runs up to Esteban Zaragosa and stands in front of him, shouting at Jerold Rouco in a pretentious manner: “You are a man! You are not a man! You have guts to fight!”.

Jerold Rouco threw a fist at Dulcina Calvo’s little face and she screamed in fear and closed her eyes tightly, but after a second, two seconds, three seconds … she felt no pain. She didn’t feel any pain, just a strong breeze sliding down her ear.

Dulcina Calvo opened one eye, then a second, and before her eyes were two fists, Esteban Zaragosa catching the punch thrown by Jerold Rouco.

When he looked up, he saw Jerold Rouco’s fierce gaze and hurried to run nimbly behind Esteban Zaragosa, grabbing the latter’s shirt with his small hands and muttering in a whisper, “Tutor, there are so many people, can you fight them off? Should we run away?”

Esteban Zaragosa looked at the bodyguards and said with a stoic look, “No need to run away.”

Dulcina Calvo clung to Esteban Zaragosa’s shirt, gripping it tightly. “What do we do then! How about we call the police!”

Estrella Berrocal approached Clementina Orihuela and stared at the platinum men’s ring around her neck, as if her heart was being crushed, she reached out and snatched the necklace from Clementina Orihuela.

Clementina Orihuela became furious: “What are you doing?”.

But Estrella Berrocal ignored her and, holding the ring firmly on her finger, she raised it in front of Jerold Rouco and said slowly, word by word: “This ring, which I gave you as a wedding ring, how can you give it to another woman without my permission? You say you are Jerold Rouco, I don’t believe it, I don’t believe that my Adam is completely dead, I don’t believe that you don’t recognize this ring at all. Adam Rouco, come back to me, will you?”

Jerold Rouco rolled his eyes, stared at her and approached her.

He took the ring from her hand and suddenly dropped it on the floor, where it rolled to some dark corner, never to be seen again.

“One ring, and you want to trick me into coming back to you? You want to turn me back into Adam Rouco when you come back, I’m Jerold Rouco, and Adam Rouco won’t show up if I’m the only one around!”

Estrella Berrocal stared at him, tears rolling down her face.

Clementina Orihuela’s men were about to make a move to fight Esteban Zaragosa when Esteban Zaragosa’s men arrived.

Basilio Grullón arrived and whispered something in Clementina Orihuela’s ear. Clementina Orihuela pulled Jerold Rouco and said, “Let’s go!”.

Basilio Grullón made a gesture and the Orihuela family bodyguards withdrew, and when they had withdrawn, Basilio Grullón approached Esteban Zaragosa and politely said, “Mr. Esteban, don’t take this personally.”

As she made her way to the door of the bar, Estrella Berrocal saw Jerold Rouco get into Clementina Orihuela’s car and drive out of sight without looking back.

Estrella Berrocal’s eyes, which were fixed on the shadow of the departing car, murmured: “Doctor Esteban, is it true that Adam has died?

“If Jerold Rouco has dominated consciousness for a long time, indeed Adam will find it difficult to reappear.”

Dulcina Calvo asked in anguish, “And what do we do now, that this Jerold Rouco is not even going to come back to us for treatment?”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“Those people were from La familia Orihuela, I don’t know how Adán knew them, but it seems that Jerold Rouco is very close friends with that princess from La familia Orihuela.”

“Jerold Rouco wouldn’t be in love with that princess from The Orihuela Family, would he! What about Estrella?”

Esteban Zaragosa frowned, “Now we’ll have to steal it.”

“Stealing?” Dulcina Calvo’s mouth twisted, “Mentor, uh, we’re not going to do anything illegal, are we?”

“Do you think I would bring a pig for a friend like you when I do something illegal?”.

Dulcina Calvo shut up: “…”

…

Clementina Orihuela took Jerold Rouco back to La Villa Orihuela.

“Basilio Grullón, send someone to the Blues Bar and help me get that ring back.”

“Yes, Princess.”

Clementina Orihuela looked at Jerold Rouco, who didn’t say a word, picked up a folder, looked at the picture of Adán Rouco in the folder and compared it to Jerold Rouco, “Tch, it’s a real resemblance. But why don’t you recognize that you are Adán Rouco?”.

Jerold Rouco snatched the file from Clementina Orihuela’s hand, frowning.

Clementina Orihuela stared at him and asked, “No…. you really have amnesia, don’t you? When I saved you, I didn’t really think you would be Adán Rouco, the president of La Ciudad SantaGrupo Rouco.”

Jerold Rouco pursed his lips after reading this information and asked in a cold voice, “Is there more detailed information about Adam Rouco?”

“What do you need Adán Rouco’s data for?”.

Jerold Rouco looked at Clementina Orihuela, raised an eyebrow and said, “If I’m the president of the Rouco Group, you should be glad the man you’re looking at is in an expensive position.”

Clementina Orihuela’s lips stretched into a smile, “But you were married to Estrella Berrocal, I am not a mistress, are you … willing to divorce Estrella Berrocal for me? divorce her for me”.

Jerold Rouco smiled grimly, “If I go back to La familia Rouco and become Adán Rouco, Estrella Berrocal is a stumbling block I’ll have to kick out.”

Clementina Orihuela smirked and said, “Basilio Grullón, go find out all about Adán Rouco!”

“Yes, I’ll be right there.”

“Jerold Rouco, I didn’t expect it, you are so ruthless that you can even say that you don’t love your own wife, how cold-blooded, but … I like it.”

Clementina Orihuela looked down and her red lips approached Jerold Rouco’s thin lips, but he pushed her away.

“What, you just said you’d marry me and now you resent me?”.

“I don’t like kissing a woman who smells like wine.”

Clementina Orihuela looked at the dark-haired man and gave a “heh,” then breathed into his palm and sniffed if she could, “Does it really smell like wine?”

“Ch, now you do not like, just now at the bar is still not for me a mouthful of wine woman kiss!”
