Chapter 49: I regret having begged you!
Vanessa had to stay at the hotel for the night, because Dylan wouldn’t let her leave.
It wasn’t until the next day, when Dylan had to return to the company to solve some pending cases, that Vanessa was finally released.
She didn’t want to see Orlando’s face, so she went to her parents’ house and, in order not to worry them, she had put on pretty gloves that matched her dress to cover her bandaged hands.
Indeed, Mercedes didn’t say anything when she saw his gloves, she just thought it was a bit hot and that she no longer understood the fashion of young people.
-Yesterday you didn’t even go to the company. Where were you?
As Dylan told her that he had sent a message to Felipe on his mobile phone, telling him that he had something pending and would not be able to go to the company. Vanessa didn’t reveal anything in response to Mercedes’ sudden question.
-Nothing, a colleague of the university student came for work and I went to see her.
-Who is she? Do I know her?
-Come on, mum. You’re not going to meet all my university friends,” said Vanessa pretending, but fortunately Mercedes didn’t ask any more questions.
They both went to the garden to sit for a while and seeing that Vanessa was very tired, Mercedes ordered her to rest.
Lying down on her bed, Vanessa soon fell asleep and her mobile phone was still out of battery.
-The number you have called is switched off…
After hearing the auto-reply countless times, Orlando threw the phone down in anger and paced around the office like a snarling beast.
Melina didn’t dare say anything and stood to the side with the file.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
She was hysterical because her plan failed and seeing the importance Orlando gave to Vanessa, she hated Vanessa even more.
Orlando was still furious after throwing the mobile, then he threw the pencil holder at Melina and ordered her to come out. However, Melina was able to dodge it, but she let the pencil holder hit her forehead and felt hot blood coming out of it.
But Melina didn’t care, instead she approached Orlando with a worried look on her face and said:
-Orlando, don’t get angry, even if it’s for your health.
Orlando looked at her coldly in silence and Melina hugged him gently after leaving the files.
-Orlando, no matter what happens, I will always be by your side. If you’re angry, you can take your anger out on me,” Melina said tenderly.
“Orlando, I’ve paid so much for you. You can only be mine!”
Orlando calmed down a little when he saw that Melina was giving more importance to him than to his own injury, but he was still upset and pushed Melina away.
-Sal, don’t bother me any more.
-All right, I’ll wait for you to calm down,” Melina smiled obediently, but the smile instantly turned to hatred.
Soon after, the office door opened and Orlando came out in disgust.
Melina knew all too well what Orlando was going to do and at that moment she hated her knowledge of Orlando, because she wouldn’t be so sad if she was only crazy about love.
When the butler of the Villa Cazalla said that Orlando was coming, Mercedes was surprised. And, as soon as she got up, Orlando came in smiling.
-Mum, where is Vanessa? -asked Orlando.
-Why aren’t you at the company at this hour?
-I’m looking for Vanessa.
-Yes? Well, go upstairs, he’s been asleep for a while now.
-Okay, Mum, I’ll get in.
-Come on,” said Mercedes, smiling.
She noticed that something was wrong between the two of them, but she thought it would be because of the typical fights between couples, so she thought it was very normal.
Just then, Mercedes got a call from a friend and was chatting happily.
Orlando opened the door and subconsciously entered lightly. In fact, Vanessa was still sleeping and did not notice his presence.
That beautiful sleeping face left Orlando stunned, but thinking of his purpose, he was once again gloomy. Orlando walked over to the bed and pulled Vanessa by her arm.
-Vanessa, get up!
-Ah.
Vanessa was upset at being woken up suddenly and seeing Orlando made her even more upset.
-What’s going on?
-I asked you to socialise on behalf of my company, and what did you do? -Orlando asked in disgust.
At the mention of it, Vanessa remembered that she had been drugged and almost raped by that filthy Lucho, she didn’t expect Orlando to come and blame her before she went to question him.
-Orlando, before you ask me, think about what you did. Yes, I asked you for a favour, but that doesn’t mean you can humiliate me as you please. Orlando, I really didn’t expect you to do this. You disgust me, you know?
“Compared to what you did to me, my words are too polite.”
-So you broke this contract, letting the company suffer losses? Vanessa, you are the one who begged me and you are the one who accepted my condition.
“If I knew it was a trap, I wouldn’t accept it!”
-I regret having begged you!
“If I knew he was a bastard, I’d rather confess to my parents and I’d rather ask Dylan for help than look for this fucking asshole!”
-Do you regret it? Do you think there would be someone else to help you? So Vanessa, obey my words,” Orlando mocked.
-To obey you? So you can send me back to someone else’s bed? -Vanessa asked angrily, her eyes showing a lot of hatred towards Orlando.
Orlando was surprised by the hatred in her eyes, but sneered at her with contempt, before thinking about the reason for his hatred:
-Anyway, it’s not the first time you’ve climbed into other men’s beds. Why do you bother? You can get what you want when you sleep with others, you should feel happy.
“So it was Orlando who organised everything last night! How sick did I have to be to love an asshole like that?”
-Yes, I didn’t expect that. Since I could get what I want by sleeping with people, why should I obey your orders? I could ask other people for help in such a way, couldn’t I? -Vanessa laughed in anger.
-Bitch! -Orlando looked at Vanessa fiercely and grabbed her hand with great force.
“It hurts!”
