Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Estrella Berrocal merely dropped the diamond ring on the table and turned to leave, when Adán Rouco’s long arm grabbed her by the wrist and asked, “Why didn’t you tell me you had been in a car accident that night?”

Estrella Berrocal scoffed and looked back at him with reddened eyes, “You’re so worried about Dante, so concerned about Olivia Montes, do you care if he had an accident or something?”.

I would just think she was some random woman who didn’t know right from wrong!

Adam Rouco’s brow furrowed and he drew her into his arms, confining her against his chest. “Where does it hurt?”

She was stunned for a moment to see the concern in his eyes, but when she thought back to the night he had attacked her in the hospital, defending Olivia Montes and humiliating her in front of Jonathan Tasis, her eyes turned even redder and she struggled to push him away, biting her lip. “Don’t worry, I’m fine thanks to Jonathan Tasis taking me for a check-up! ”

Jonathan Tasis, Jonathan Tasis again!

Adán Rouco, who had managed to speak to her in a kindly way, was now provoking again, his voice was cold and angry, “You left the Rouco family to fuck Jonathan Tasis, who knows how many times you’ve slept with me!”

Estrella Berrocal slapped him full in the face, landing resoundingly on his cheek.

“Yes, I just want to be right with Jonathan Tasis! Jonathan Tasis at least won’t be mean to me! He won’t mistrust me! Jonathan Tasis is a hundred times better than you!”

Estrella Berrocal met his hard, cold stare for five seconds, tears falling silently, before pushing him away and running out of the Rouco family.

Adán Rouco stood there for a long moment before he let out a sigh, raised his hand to his temple, looked at the diamond ring on the low table and, in a fit of annoyance, lifted his long leg and kicked the table!

Paulita was upstairs when she heard the loud bang and ran out of the room in a daze, lying face down on the stairs to the second floor and facing the living room.

Dad’s face was black and stinky.

He frowned and searched the floor with his eyes, but Estrella was nowhere to be found!

Oh no, Estrella had misbehaved with Dad!Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

…

Estrella Berrocal ran out of La Villa Rouco and ran a long way until she ran out of breath, then she crouched on the ground and let out a loud scream.

It was clear that she had defeated Adán Rouco, and she herself wept inconsolably.

These days she had been repressing her emotions, acting lightly when confronted with Adán Rouco, but only she knew how hard it had been for her these days.

Adán Rouco was a bastard!

…

Estrella Berrocal had a fight with Adán Rouco and, unable to return to La Villa Rouco, she went directly to La Villa Berrocal.

He didn’t sleep a wink all night and the next morning he went to work with a pale face.

As soon as she entered the creation department, she was called into the office by the deputy director.

The assistant director frowned and threw two identical drawings at Estrella Berrocal’s face: “Explain yourself! How is it possible that your drawing is exactly the same as Director Olivia’s?

Estrella Berrocal frowned as she examined the two drawings, which were identical down to the details, and could not be distinguished from each other except for the name in the signature.

Had Olivia Montes copied his drawings?

“Deputy Director, I don’t know why Principal Olivia’s drawing is the same as mine, but I definitely didn’t copy anyone.”

The deputy director adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and sneered, “Oh, yeah? So, you’re saying that Principal Olivia copied your sketches?”.

Estrella Berrocal pursed her lips and said nothing.

“Estrella Berrocal, you have to understand, Director Olivia has won many awards, and you, a new illustrator who is not even an original artist, do you think anyone is going to believe that Director Olivia has copied your drawings?”

Indeed, no one would believe it, not even the Rouco Group.

“What else do you have to explain?”

She took a deep breath, looked down at the two sketches and said, “I did not copy Director Olivia’s drawings, believe it or not.”

Seeing how stubborn she was, the deputy director sarcastically said to her, “Estrella Berrocal, are you really stubborn or are you shameless when it comes to copying?”

“Since the assistant director insists on saying I copied it, I will ask director Olivia to tell me the inspiration and meaning of the design, and if she says it better than me, I will admit it.”

“You! Tell me, where did you get the inspiration for the design of this drawing?”

Estrella Berrocal said in a cold voice, “Deputy Director, I would like to confront Director Olivia face to face.”

The deputy director, seeing that he could do nothing about it, frowned and said, “You can go now, I will ask the authorities about this, after all it is our first collaboration with Yahua animation and the authorities are still taking it seriously.”

After Estrella Berrocal left, the deputy director called the president’s office on an internal line.

Santino Yepes received the call and informed Adán Rouco, saying, “Boss, Director Olivia has exactly the same drawing that Miss Estrella presented to Yahua animation, should we check it out?”

The man sat in his black executive chair, his face cold and indifferent, “Take Estrella Berrocal’s place out of this contest.”

Santino Yepes froze, “This …”

Is the boss still mad at Miss Star? Without even looking into it, he just took Miss Star out of the competition?

How is that different from convicting Miss Star for plagiarism in disguise?

Adán Rouco looked at him with dark, cold eyes, “Why, do you have a problem with that?”.

Santino Yepes immediately shut up, he didn’t dare have a problem with it, the power of life and death was in the hands of Adán Rouco. “It’s just that if the boss does it, I’m afraid it will break Miss Estrella’s heart.”

Wasn’t she close to Jonathan Tasis? Wasn’t she going to leave the Rouco family? Can it be done?

…

Inside the creative department, ten minutes later, the deputy director came out of his office and said to Estrella Berrocal in front of everyone, “Estrella Berrocal, you have been disqualified for this Yahua animation contest.”

Estrella Berrocal wrinkled her nose: “Why?”.

“You’ve copied Director Olivia’s work and you’re justifying yourself for it?”

“I didn’t!”

The assistant manager grunted as she folded her arms, gave her a sidelong glance and said, “I reported the situation to Mr. Adam, who gave the order, so if you’re not happy with it, go to Mr. Adam for a review.”

He was the head of a multinational company and had no time to mess with Estrella Berrocal.

Estrella Berrocal clenched her hands into a fist and glared at her.

The vice-principal froze at the look: “Why are you looking at me like that? Go to Sister Adam’s house and throw a tantrum if you can.”

Estrella Berrocal swallowed hard, sat down again and wrote a letter of resignation.

Three minutes later, Estrella Berrocal left the letter on the assistant manager’s desk.

The deputy director looked at the letter: “Estrella Berrocal, don’t you want to work anymore?

“Yes, I don’t want to do it anymore!”.

With those words, Estrella Berrocal gathered her things and left the creative department with her head held high in front of everyone.

As he left the Rouco Group, his heart, which had been tense, suddenly relaxed.

It may have been a wise decision to leave the Rouco Group, no matter where she worked next, but she never wanted to return to the Rouco Group!

…

Santino Yepes received a call from the creative department and walked into the president’s office with trepidation to report, “Boss … Miss Estrella has resigned”.

The man sitting in the black executive chair, his face suddenly sank.

Resignation? To join Jonathan Tasis?
