Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Chapter 263: The return of Adán Rouco!



At ten o’clock in the morning, the Rouco Group announced a bombshell.

” Adán Rouco, CEO of the Rouco Group, engages with Ciudad del MarGrupo Orihuela, a millennial, this afternoon at 5 p. m. at the Banyan Tree Hotel. ”

Paulita, who was sitting in a children’s chair eating breakfast, frowned when she heard the news and asked Roberto Rouco, who was next to her, about it.

“Grandpa, Dad is already married to Estrella, why is he engaged to another woman?”

Roberto Rouco saw the message and froze, Adán had taken the decision without consulting him, it seemed that he had divorced Estrella Berrocal…

But Roberto Rouco did not dare to tell Paulita for fear of upsetting the little girl, who, after all, was so fond of Estrella Berrocal.

Roberto Rouco stroked Paulita’s little head and said: “Paulita eats first while Grandpa goes to order”.

Paulita nodded seriously with her chin and said, “Grandpa, you must ask for clarification, I don’t want daddy and Estrella to separate, I just want Estrella to be my mommy!”.

“Good. Felipa, take care of Paulita, I’m going to take care of some business.”

“Yes, Master.”

Roberto Rouco went to the studio and called Adán Rouco.

“Adam, the news this morning, what’s up, did you and Estrella Berrocal get divorced?”

“Dad, because of what happened to me, the Rouco Group was badly wounded, now the Rouco Group has a strong internal embrace, and when I engage with Clementina Orihuela, I will have the support of The Orihuela family, then in the Rouco Group we will soon be back on our feet, and that would be stronger than before and our business footprint would be bigger.”

A look of disbelief crossed Roberto Rouco’s eyes, his brow furrowed and he sighed, “But have you ever thought about the child Estrella Berrocal is carrying in her womb?”

“If daddy wants that baby, then go to the mother and keep the son.”

“Adam … you have changed.”

Roberto Rouco grabbed his cane and was not happy that Adán Rouco became so ruthless and heartless.

Jerold Rouco laughed softly on the other end of the phone: “Dad, I do it for the Rouco Group, how can you say that about me?

“Do you like La familia Orihuela milenaria?”

“It doesn’t matter whether we like it or not, what matters is that the marriage between The Rouco Family and The Orihuela Family will not only appease gullible Rouco Group shareholders, but will make our business rivals more wary of us, and what’s wrong with that?”

“Adam, I don’t want you to use your marriage and your happiness as a bargaining chip at the mall.”

“Dad, I have made a decision on this matter and, now that the news has come out, there is no turning back.”

Inside The Villas at Repulse Bay.

Estrella Berrocal turned pale at the news.

Jerold Rouco gets engaged to Clementina Orihuela?

She became excited and her stomach began to flutter.

“Ah…”

She can’t just sit and wait, she has to go and stop Jerold Rouco and Clementina Orihuela from getting engaged!

But as soon as I got up, the pain in my stomach flared up.

Suddenly there was the sound of a car engine at The Villas at Repulse Bay and several black-clad bodyguards rushed in.

“What are you doing!”

The one in the lead said, “President Rouco has said that we have to stay in this villa so that the compromise can go forward today!”.

Several bodyguards ripped off Estrella Berrocal’s arms and tied her up with ropes, while several tall, strong men kept a firm watch over her.

“Let go of me, guys! Let go of me!”

“I advise you to save your breath!”

Because of the struggle and resistance, Estrella Berrocal’s stomach ache became more intense and her face was white with cold sweat, “My stomach hurts …. let go of me … ”

Several bodyguards thought he was pretending and snorted coldly, “Don’t pretend, we won’t believe you! You don’t want to leave this villa today.”

One of the bodyguards confiscated his cell phone and turned it off.

Estrella Berrocal felt something stirring in her lower back and her features wrinkled into a frown, “Please… let me go…. my stomach hurts so much . . if anything happens to the baby …. Jerold Rouco won’t let you go…”

Several bodyguards looked at each other.

“Although President Rouco is getting engaged to our Senorita Clementina, this woman is carrying President Rouco’s child after all, and if something happens to the child in her womb, will President Rouco come after us? ”

One of them whispered, “Boss, I think we’d better call Miss Clementina and ask her, in case something happens…. well, it’s a human life we can’t afford”.

“Okay, you guys keep an eye on her while I go make the call.”

The leader called Clementina Orihuela and asked her, “Miss Clementina, Estrella Berrocal has suddenly had a stomach ache, I don’t think she is faking, after all she is carrying President Rouco’s baby, would the President be angry if he knew? Would President Rouco be angry if he knew? Should we take her to the hospital?”

Clementina Orihuela, over there, coolly said, “No one can stop me from committing to Jerold Rouco today, and it turns out that child in her belly is a liability, so if something happens, I will have solved a problem for Jerold Rouco. ”

“Yes, Miss Clementina.”

“By the way, take Estrella Berrocal somewhere else, I’m afraid Mr. Esteban will come looking for him, I’ll send you the address.”

“Okay.”

Estrella Berrocal was forced into a black van and tightly bound hand and foot.

“Where the hell are you taking me! Let me go!”

“If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll gag you!”

Estrella Berrocal bit her lip and gave them a fierce look: “If anything happens to me, Adán Rouco will come after you!

“Heh, President Rouco stopped thinking about you a long time ago, if President Rouco really thought about you, would he have asked us to spy on you?”.

Estrella Berrocal frowned: “What are you saying, Adán Rouco asked you to kidnap me?

“President Rouco was afraid that you, a madwoman, were going to spoil his engagement party with our Miss Clementina, so he asked us to keep an eye on you, just in case!”.

And yes … this is now Jerold Rouco … Jerold Rouco’s lack of scruples she has seen it.

Soon Estrella Berrocal’s eyes were covered with a black cloth and she was sent to a room that seemed to be surrounded by the sea, for she heard a great wind and waves and smelled a salty odor that must have been the sea air.

“Where the hell is this?”

“Be a good boy and stay here or don’t blame us for being rude to you!”

“My stomach hurts, you have to go get me a doctor!”

The man didn’t even bother with her and said indifferently, “President Rouco has said that the child in her belly is a nuisance and that it is better without him!”.

Estrella Berrocal’s heart pumped hard, and her fists clenched.

She collapsed on the cold, damp floor, surrounded by darkness, with a twinge in her lower back and shivering …

Tears, sliding down the corners of her eyes, stain the black cloth covering them.

Adam… where the hell are you… I feel so bad… Adam…

Banyan Tree Hotel, 5 p. m.

Clementina Orihuela put on her dress, put on her makeup and entered the presidential suite.

Jerold Rouco is seen standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his dead right hand over his heart and a grimace on his face.

In his ears only the pitiful voice of Estrella Berrocal’s request for help resounded…

“Adam … Adam… My stomach hurts… Adam… … you have to come and help me…”

Clementina Orihuela approached him on her stiletto heels and held him hurriedly, “Jerold Rouco, what’s wrong with you?”

Jerold Rouco gritted his teeth and spoke haltingly, “It looks like Adam Rouco is on his way out.”

“What did you say?”

Jerold Rouco squeezed Clementina Orihuela’s shoulders, his dark eyes looked at her sternly, “Did you do something to Estrella Berrocal?”

Clementina Orihuela expressed surprise at Jerold Rouco, “I … just told someone to keep an eye on her and not to come and ruin our engagement party! I didn’t do anything to her.”

Clementina Orihuela’s cell phone suddenly rings, but Jerold Rouco answers it and snatches it from her.

Over there, came a panicked voice: “Miss Clementina, it’s bad, Estrella Berrocal has escaped! She has blood between her legs … I have sent for a doctor when she, she …”

Jerold Rouco slams the phone to the ground!

“What the hell have you done to Estrella Berrocal!”

Jerold Rouco’s big hand, squeezing Clementina Orihuela’s neck!

“Jerold Rouco! Calm down! That child … ahem … that is not your child at all …”

“Ah-!”

Jerold Rouco clutches his head so hard with both hands that his head hurts as if it were about to explode.

He could clearly feel his consciousness blurring, as if Adam Rouco was about to emerge from his confinement …

Jerold Rouco’s strength weakened and, before his eyes, he lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.

“Jerold Rouco! Jerold Rouco!”

One second, two seconds, three seconds …

I don’t know how much time passed, but the man’s eyes, little by little, opened …

Adán Rouco has just felt a severe headache …

Star … Estrella yells at him.

Clementina Orihuela went to help Adán Rouco up, but he pushed her away: “Where the hell is Estrella?

Clementina Orihuela was pushed to the floor by him and fell to the carpet, looking at the man in front of her, stunned, “You …. you… are you Adán Rouco?”NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Although he knew that Adán Rouco suffered from multiple personality disorder, he never imagined that a living person could become a completely different person in an instant!

In the pale sea night, Estrella Berrocal stumbled forward, clutching her lower back. She faintly heard footsteps, men searching for her, and her watery eyes fluttered as she hurried to hide in the grass beside her.

She covered her lips with a death grip, holding back the pain and fear inside as she watched the men separate and walk away.

“Heriberto, get your men and search over there! Make sure you find Estrella Berrocal! It would be a disaster if she came back and ruined the engagement party!”

Only when the men left did Estrella Berrocal stand up, struggling against the pain.

It’s too dangerous here, you have to get out of here!

But this place is surrounded by sea! How could I escape back?

Tears, shaking with impotence …

She covered her small belly with both hands and murmured in a muffled voice, “Baby … you must hold on … mommy will take you to the hospital soon … don’t be afraid…”

Estrella Berrocal dragged her heavy body for who knows how long, her legs getting heavier and heavier as if they were filled with lead …

So tired… so tired… she really can’t run anymore…

“Boss! Estrella Berrocal is there!”

“Hurry up and go after them!”

With someone chasing her from behind, Estrella Berrocal ran frightened forward and reached the edge of the fishermen’s island with a deep pale sea behind her …

“Don’t come any closer! You can’t kill my children!”

“Don’t resist, come back to us!”

Estrella Berrocal panicked, “No … no … no … I’m not coming back with you! Jerold Rouco and Clementina Orihuela are going to kill my children! Don’t come any closer.”

Estrella Berrocal backing up … slipped on her feet!

“Ah-!”

Estrella Berrocal falls into the sea

In the night, a clear and familiar male voice sounded –

“Be!”
