Chapter 53: Beginning of his revenge
“Mr. Eustasio’s birthday banquet?”
Melina took a long time to react to the call, clutched her mobile phone tightly in disbelief and repeated excitedly:
-Mr Eustasio’s birthday banquet? Is Orlando going to take you there?This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Melina became very excited at the thought of the influence that Mr. Eustasio had in the Pacific City and the identity of the guests who will be attending the birthday banquet…
“This is a great opportunity!
Melina, trying to calm herself, sat on the sofa thoughtfully and found a number belonging to Jorge Bergara, who was her neighbour before her mother sent her to the Cazalla family.
They got along very well since they were little and Jorge liked this beautiful girl very much.
After joining the Cazalla family, Melina had left all her previous relationships until she was in high school when she met Jorge again, who was already a recently graduated journalist at the time.
Actually, Jorge worked in a small publishing house as a gossip and entertainment journalist, or rather, he was a paparazzi. So, he felt very humble in front of the person he liked so much since childhood.
Melina did not despise him, however, because she had been very hypocritical as a child and knew very well how to hide her displeasure. She had even cried with joy at her reunion with George and had treated him as affectionately as before.
For several years, Melina and Jorge kept in touch and Melina treated him as someone more than a close friend, so that Jorge was crazy about her.
Although Jorge’s publishing house was very small with little fame, Jorge was a journalist and one day Melisa would need him. To this end, she would give him celebrity news from time to time to help him move up the ladder, and by now Jorge was already the editor of the entertainment sector.
After all these years, George loved her even more and would be willing to do anything for her.
However, Melina had not turned to Jorge when she had set up the trap for Vanessa, because she knew that this spinning top had to be used at the most crucial moment.
“And now is the time!
Melina smiled mischievously, like a beautiful but poisonous flower, then dialed Jorge’s phone.
-Jorge, how are you?
-Melina! How long has it been? What’s wrong with you? It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other, shall I invite you to dinner? Let’s meet at the usual place, shall we? -Jorge, very happy, asked in a flattering tone.
Melina showed contempt and disdain, as she was not going to have dinner with a loser like him, but she kept speaking in a soft tone:
-Jorge, could you do me a favour?
-You’re welcome. What do you want me to do? Melina, you know I love you and I’m willing to do anything for you.
-Jorge, I know, I know everything,” Melina’s voice became more tender, but then she burst into tears, pretending to be very hurt. Jorge, could you help me? Please help me!
-Melina, why are you crying? Why are you crying? What happened? Don’t cry, tell me. Don’t worry, I’ll help you, even if I have to sacrifice my life.
-Jorge, I know you’re the best in the world! I’m sorry, there’s no other way, I can’t lose him, because I’ll die without him, Jorge.
Melina was crying so painfully that Jorge was so anxious that he wanted to come and comfort her in person.
“I can do everything for Melina, even if she doesn’t love me and asks me for help to be with another man. So what? I love her with all my life!”
-I’ll help you, Melina, don’t worry. So don’t cry, okay? Tell me, what do you want me to do? -Jorge consoled her.
Melina was still crying and kept apologising to Jorge over the phone, while putting a sinister, sweet smile on her face.
Everything was under her control and Melina quickly told Jorge her request.
-Don’t worry, I’ll get it for you! It’s easy for me.
-But Jorge, it’s not easy to mess with the Moya family and Orlando. If they found out, you’d lose your job and the publishing house would fall apart…
-It’s OK, Melina, don’t worry about me. I’ve saved a lot of money over the years, I can live very well, even if I don’t work. The worst case scenario is to start again somewhere else.
-Jorge, I’m sorry. And, thank you very much.
-Don’t say that, you know I can do anything for you.
Melina didn’t speak any more and Jorge hung up before her this time, because this would be his last call with her.
He was going to do everything for the woman he loved and did not want to involve her in this case. Then, he started to make arrangements according to Melina’s request.
-Ha,” Melina smiled triumphantly as she got her wish.
She thought she was very clever, because she knew how to take advantage of everyone. Soon she would no longer be Orlando’s secret lover.
Melina wanted to publish her relationship with Orlando so that everyone would know that she was Orlando’s true love, while Vanessa only had the empty title of wife.
Moreover, she wanted Philip and Mercedes to see that their beloved daughter was nothing to Orlando, while she, the illegitimate daughter they despised, was the noblest of them all.
Melina was so excited just imagining that scene.
Later, she was given her dress for the banquet, which was a long sky-green gown that highlighted her fair skin.
Melina smiled in the most charming way in front of the mirror, she adored her reflection in the mirror, she was so beautiful and elegant. For sure no one would know that she was a humble illegitimate daughter at the birthday dinner and everyone would be envious of her, because she was Orlando’s wife.
-Miss Melina, can you leave now?
-Come on,” said Melina, lifting her chin and smiling proudly.
Melina stepped elegantly into the car in her high heels.
Half an hour later, when the car stopped, Melina got out of the car and walked to Orlando’s car with a charming smile.
-Orlando.
-Get in the car,” Orlando gave her a cold face and ignored her completely.
However, Melina did not feel embarrassed at all, because she knew that everything would change soon and she could bear Orlando’s coldness and anger for the time being.
