Deep love: insatiable lover

-Miss Vanessa, this is half of the fee you paid me. And this is my breach of contract. I am very sorry I am not competent to handle this divorce case of yours,” the lawyer finished with an apologetic face, got up, took his things and left.

Vanessa mechanically stirred the coffee in her cup with her spoon and after a while, smiled teasingly.

She couldn’t remember how many lawyers she had had, and each time they had accepted her case, she turned it down after learning that it was about the divorce suit with Orlando. Apparently, she had received more than one breach of contract.

“It looks like I’ve won in this case.”

Thinking about this, Vanessa sighed and left the cafeteria.

Perhaps if she went back to lawyers, she would get the same result: Orlando Moya would not accept the divorce, and under her pressure, no lawyer would dare to take her case.

Moreover, he could not ask the lawyers of the company’s justice department for help either, not to mention that divorce proceedings were not his area of expertise.

Outside the café, the sun was no longer so dazzling.

Vanessa wrapped her coat around her as the breeze blew, and it was already late autumn.

Suddenly his mobile phone vibrating in his pocket dispelled the sadness that Vanessa, who quickly pulled it out, saw that it was Enrique and answered the phone.

-Is there a problem with the company?

-Director Vanessa, you’d better get back.

Enrique’s voice sounded heavy and anxious, and it seemed to be a serious and urgent situation. Vanessa pursed her lips, quickly got into her car and left for the company.

***

Half an hour later.

-What happened?

-The other party wants to cancel the contract. They are even willing to pay for the breach of contract, and we have tried to deal with them several times, but they have refused.

Without a doubt, this should be the work of Orlando Moya.

The thought of this cruel and desperate man made Vanessa want to kill him and then kill herself.

-I see. Is there anything else?

Enrique looked at Vanessa’s face, already guessing what was going on, and became very worried. If things went on like this, the Cazalla Group, which had stabilised, would be in danger again.

-There are people in the trade industry in Pacifica City who have been secretly putting themselves in our Group lately, I guess….

Enrique did not continue, but Vanessa understood.

-Do you suspect that this is all Orlando’s trickery?

-Director Vanessa, the company is doing well at the moment, but in the long term it is still like this….

No matter how much the Cazalla Group developed, it would never be stronger than the Moya family, which had such a solid base in Ciudad Pacifica. It was a business giant, and the Cazalla Group was a mere “child” compared to the Moya family. To bring down the Cazalla Group, it would take nothing more than a word from Orlando Moya.

I was worried, but I also knew that I could not change anything as a petty secretary of the Cazalla Group.

If she could, she would like Vanessa to talk to Orlando Moya. After all, they were a legal couple; if she would negotiate patiently with him, perhaps the company’s potential crisis would be resolved?

Enrique had wanted to convince Vanessa several times, but every time he saw the look on Vanessa’s face, he unconsciously swallowed his words.

But this time…

-Director Vanessa.

Vanessa looked at Enrique who suddenly began to speak, his face a little embarrassed but his eyes were determined.

-Tell me?

-Director Vanessa, although it is probably not my place to say this, the current situation of the company… I think I can talk to Mr. Orlando. After all, they are a legal couple and maybe he will leave our company alone considering her marriage to him.

“Partner? Considering my marriage to him?”

Vanessa thought mockingly, but her face showed nothing but calm:

-I can see that.

Henry, who had been watching Vanessa closely, was relieved to see that she was not angry. Knowing he had just said something he shouldn’t have, the secretary sighed inwardly and turned to leave.

Vanessa was the only one left in the office.

-Orlando Moya, you are really doing everything you can to prevent me from divorcing you.

He knew that if she withdrew the divorce suit, Orlando would stop.

But Vanesa Cazalla did not give up!

“But now, who can help me?

Dylan Moya!

The name suddenly popped into her head and Vanessa couldn’t help but clench her hands. If she went to Dylan and tacitly agreed to stay entangled with him, maybe the man could lend her a hand, but that wasn’t the life she wanted.

He wanted to get away from the Moya family and, of course, including Dylan Moya.

“But who else could help me now, apart from Dylan? Vanessa, why don’t you go ask Dylan for help? You’re lovers, right? It’s only fair to ask him for help, isn’t it?”

“No, you can’t go to him. Have you forgotten the decision you made? What will happen to your dad in case his relationship with Dylan is exposed?”

Vanessa frowned as two contradictory thoughts argued in her mind, and she felt annoyed as if something was clogging her chest. Finally, the first thought gradually overcame the second.

It took Vanessa a long time to call Dylan.

-Hello, the number you have reached is disconnected.

His mobile phone was switched off.

Vanessa immediately put down her mobile phone; now it wasn’t that she didn’t want to ask Dylan for help, the situation was that her phone was switched off.

Sighing deeply, Vanessa stopped thinking about turning to Dylan for help and tried to adjust her mood, warning herself that she could not be easily defeated by Orlando.

-Mr Dylan, the plane will be landing soon,” Mateo Gayoso approached, speaking in a respectful tone.

Dylan gave him a slight nod.

It was Lucas Vera, in front of him, who asked, again with all curiosity and doubt:

-Can you really leave your delicate mistress? For all I know, she’s having a bad time. Orlando is like a rabid dog, so ruthless and cruel that the Cazalla Group may be ruined by the time you get back.

Dylan did not ignore him.

-Hey, you’re really not worried? I remember that nervous, worried look you gave me the last time you asked me to give her a doctor’s appointment, and as your friend for so many years, I’ve never seen you so nervous about any woman. Don’t tell me you were just acting back then.

Dylan continued to ignore him.

-Hey, hey, hey, hey, what do you want to do without saying a word? Shit, I see you’re a man with a heart of steel. You should have acted sooner, otherwise you wouldn’t be on this plane now. How poor Vanessa is! I see that both you and Orlando are bastards.

-Shut up now.

“Comparing me to Orlando?”

He just wanted to get away for a while to regain his sanity. Vanessa affected him too much that he didn’t dare to get closer to her. The Moya family was still there, Gerardo Moya was still a powerful character, so he had to be more careful.

So he opted to leave for the moment, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t going to pay attention to Vanessa. He was waiting for the moment to make his move.
