Deep love: insatiable lover

Chapter 218: He’s plotting his exit



Vanessa did not expect to receive a call from Director Lacasa’s secretary.

He stayed in the office when Vanessa answered the phone because he was worried, as he had been transferred by Enrique. He couldn’t hear what was being said, he could only see Vanessa’s expression.

She frowned in surprise for a moment, then quickly calmed down.

-Yes, thanks for the warning, I understand.

-What’s going on?

Enrique saw Vanessa hang up the phone and hurried to ask.

-Melina is insane and has been taken to a sanatorium in the countryside.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

-Is she crazy?

Enrique was surprised too, but thinking about what Melina had done to Director Lacasa’s daughter, Felicia, it was not unusual for her to go crazy. At least she was still alive, but living like that must be worse than dying.

Vanessa frowned, she didn’t expect Melina, who had been fighting her every step of the way, to end up like this.

But even that was not worthy of sympathy.

He got together with Orlando and had Vanessa’s father killed, and he deserved everything that happened to him.

-Director Lacasa’s secretary called, both to inform me and to make it clear that she had no intention of taking offence at me,” Vanessa added after a pause. There’s nothing scheduled for this afternoon, is there? I’m going to the sanatorium to see Melina.

-What is there to see in such a person? -said Enrique with a disgusted look on his face, he too hated Melina with a passion.

-There is always something to see.

She also had to make sure that Melina was really crazy – after all, a woman as cunning and sinister as she was was the best at acting. What if she was faking it and gave him a chance to escape?

Vanessa had never been a soft-hearted person.

-I will accompany you.

-No, I’ll go alone,” Vanessa shook her head and quickly finished the paperwork on her desk before leaving the office for the sanatorium.

The sanatorium was on the outskirts of the city, in pleasant surroundings, and was inhabited by people from families of unusual status. For Melina, living in such a place was enough.

Director Lacasa, of course, would not pay for her stay here, and Vanessa assumed that part of the cost because of her blood ties.

Vanessa checked in at the door, explained her purpose and was shown in. Considering Melina’s current condition, she was placed in a separate area and only sent to a normal ward when the injuries to her face were stabilised.

With the staff in tow, Vanessa soon spotted Melina.

She sat mute on the bed in her room, her face wrapped in thick gauze. The whole person had lost a lot of weight and her clothes looked baggy and particularly ugly.

-The patient remains unresponsive to external sounds, related to her mental state. In addition, she needs to recover from the wounds on her face and body. We also discovered yesterday that the patient has a tendency to self-harm and that she made some small cuts on her body when no one was looking. But don’t worry, we have put away all the sharp objects in the room.

At least she was a self-paying patient and the staff was quite responsible.

-Can I talk to her? -said Vanessa as she looked at Melina who had her head down and wondered what she was thinking.

-The patient does not respond to the outside world and I am afraid she cannot respond to you.

-It’s OK.

Seeing Vanessa’s insistence, the staff could not say anything.

-Wait a minute, we have to tie the patient’s hands and feet first, just to be sure.

Vanessa nodded and stood outside watching as a couple of staff members came in, expertly tied Melina to the bed and left. Only when everyone had left did she enter.

-Melina.

Vanessa stood in front of her and called her name.

The man on the bed was unresponsive, his eyes so inorganic they stared somewhere into the void, dazed.

-Are you really sick? But that’s what you deserve.

Vanessa laughed softly and leaned closer again, looking at her gauze-covered face:

-It’s really a special relief to see you like this. I’m sure you didn’t think you’d end up like this.

The person in the bed was still not responding.

Of course, Vanessa didn’t mind, he was supposed to be testing her.

-You did everything you could to steal Orlando from me, and what happened? Still, you became what you are today. Now your face is ruined and you’re locked up in this shithole, never getting out or seeing your son for the rest of your life.

Melina’s son, whom she had not seen either, was already half a year old.

-Forget it, what’s the point of me telling you this? You’ve hit rock bottom and you won’t get up for the rest of your life. The people you love don’t love you, they don’t even hate you. Your son is even more unaware of your existence. You have nothing but a body full of wounds. It’s ridiculous, isn’t it?

Vanessa pursed her lips and smiled coldly as she looked away from Melina and turned to leave.

He walked towards the door and stopped again.

-Whether you’re pretending to be crazy or really crazy, you’ll never get out of here in this life.

With that, Vanessa strided away, this time without stopping.

Only when she had left the depressing place did Vanessa take a deep breath. She looked up into the blinding sunlight and squinted slightly.

-Dad, did you see that? The person who killed you will not end well, let her live in pain for the rest of her life.

She wanted to cry a little.

Vanessa took a deep breath and tried to smile.

In any case, Melina had paid the price and could breathe a sigh of relief. Now it was just a matter of waiting for Dylan to finish his plan so she could take her mother and get out of here.

Yes, Vanessa was planning to leave.

She was sure that if her father knew, he would not want to see her stay in this uncomfortable place.

The Cazalla Group is certainly her father’s heart and soul, but compared to her, dad’s choice is definitely her.

“Hold on a little longer,” Vanessa said to herself.

With a smile of anticipation for her new life, Vanessa got into her car and drove off.

Perhaps with one goal in mind, Vanessa spent a particularly full and happy few days.

-Director Vanessa.

Enrique knocked on the door and entered with the invitation in his hand.

-Who is getting married?

Enrique did not answer, but handed her the invitation, and Vanessa gave him a curious look before reaching out to take it.

It opened.

-Orlando and Felicia?

“Is Orlando going to marry Felicia?”

Enrique couldn’t help looking at Vanessa, thinking she was surprised because she still had feelings for Orlando and that was why she was having a hard time. It turned out that she had no emotions other than surprise, so he calmed down.

-Felicia’s face is disfigured and Orlando would be willing to marry her.

-In any case, Felicia is the daughter of the director Lacasa, the only girl of the generation of the Lacasa family. Because of the disfigurement, the man who would marry her was expelled by the Lacasa family. I think that is what Orlando intended.

“It must be.”

How else could a man as proud as Orlando marry a woman with a disfigured face?
