Deep love: insatiable lover

It’s God’s joke, God’s joke!

-You say Gerardo suddenly took someone to the Moya family hospital in the middle of the night?

Orlando looked up at Juan with a raised eyebrow, the affirmative answer increasing the smile in his eyes and filling them with mischief. His long fingers tapped the tabletop one by one, his heart racing with a pleasure he could not contain.

-Go and find out what is going on.

Even the Moya family’s regular family doctor was of no help and he had to be taken to the doctor, which shows the seriousness of the situation. The only one who could take it so seriously seemed to be Gerardo’s body.

“He’d better have serious health problems.”

Orlando thought mischievously, now he had lost all affection and was left with nothing but paranoia and coldness.

Coldness towards everyone, paranoia towards Vanessa.

An hour later, Juan returned.

-Sorry Sir, nothing has been discovered so far. The news is completely blocked, our people won’t be able to find out anything soon,” said Juan with a guilty look on his face.

-Is it true that something is wrong with Gerardo’s body? -Orlando muttered to himself. He could think of no more convincing explanation than that. If Gerardo had no health problems, why would he go to the trouble of keeping the news a secret.

“It looks like I won’t have to wait long.”

Orlando thought smugly, his heart flowing with pleasure.

-If Gerardo’s health is really in trouble, that’s the best news for me. Juan, let me know every move Gerardo makes.

-Yes.

Juan left and Orlando was left alone in the office.

He squinted and thought about Jaime, who had been with Gerard for years, and if it really was Gerard’s health that was in trouble, it was impossible for him not to know. Maybe he could get accurate information from Jaime.

That said, Jaime accompanied him as he grew up and was unusually fond of him.

Once the decision was made, Orlando immediately called Jaime.

Staring at the screen of his phone, Jaime puts it in his trouser pocket without saying anything. Straightening his shirt, he knocks on the door and enters.

-Sir, it’s time for you to take your medicine.

Gerardo has a health problem, but it is minor. Some medication and a lot of rest will cure it. What irritated him the most was yesterday’s news, and accidentally raised his blood pressure a bit.

Even after a day, Gerard’s face remained sombre.

He took the antihypertensive pills and ate them.

It was then that Gerard spoke, his voice full of disgust.

-Did you send him away?

A flash of compassion crossed Jaime’s eyes and he replied in a respectful tone.

-Sir, that child is your family anyway. Even if he’s not related to the Moya family, you can’t get rid of him.

-Hmph, it’s just a waste of time, who cares.

Gerardo said it nonchalantly, with a look of disgust on his face.

The greater the hope, the more disastrous the disappointment.

Gerard was ashamed to think that he had expected a child with cerebral palsy and autism, and was even more angry with the innocent child.

Jaime didn’t dare say anything else.

-The secretary has just called and said that there is an important meeting at the company that you have to chair.

-Prepare the car.

The whole Grupo Moya was now held together only by Gerardo, who was not well these days, so Jaime, although he was the butler, went with him to the Grupo Moya.

It was only when they arrived at Grupo Moya and Gerardo took his secretary to open an account that Jaime found the opportunity to call Orlando again.

-Sir, what did you want to see me about?

Orlando waved for everyone in the office waiting to report on their work to leave first.

He exchanged his hand for the phone, then stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the diminutive one below.

-Jaime, there is something I want to ask you. I hope you will answer me truthfully.

-Sir…

Jaime’s voice came out embarrassed, but Orlando didn’t care. He grimaced in comfort.

-Of course, I don’t want to put you on the spot. Here’s the deal, I’ll do the talking and all you have to do is answer ‘yes or no’.

Jaime could only compromise.

-Sir, you ask.

-Well then,” the smile under Orlando’s eyes grew thicker with a

-I heard that my grandfather went to hospital in the middle of the night with all the fuss, was he unwell somewhere?

-No.

Jaime hesitated for a moment before answering.

Orlando frowned, seemingly unconvinced by his answer.

-No? Then why is there an information blackout on the hospital side? Who could it be, if not the grandfather, who is sick?

In the Moya family, who else but Gerardo occupied such an important place.

Orlando thought mockingly.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

-Forget it, I don’t want to make it difficult for you either.

As Jaime did not want to talk about it, it is better to wait for the results of Juan’s investigation.

Orlando thought about hanging up, but to his surprise Jaime brought up the son he had long forgotten and hated to the bone.

-Sir, do you remember your son?

Orlando’s gaze became abruptly sombre, full of disgust:

-Jaime, what are you doing talking about this one all of a sudden?

-He is your son no matter what. You…

-That’s enough.

Orlando rudely interrupted Jaime, who wanted nothing to do with the boy.

“He was a child born out of a trap set by Melina, a disgrace to me”.

-Sir, listen to me. This child…

-Heh, didn’t Gerardo say he was going to prepare him as a future heir? Then let Gerardo look after him, it has nothing to do with me.

Orlando scoffed and simply hung up the phone.

His face was grim, obviously thinking of Melina, and even though Melina was now insane and locked up in a sanatorium, it was difficult to stifle the anger in his heart.

“The bitch!”

Orlando’s lips curved into a grim smile and he suddenly felt he had to find time to go and see Melina.

“Let’s see how he does in the sanatorium.”

Malice spread under his eyes, horrible and terrifying.

Putting the phone away, the expression of pity on Jaime’s face disappeared without a trace. He turned with difficulty, washed his hands and went out.

Gerardo had finished the meeting and was about to send for Jaime when he returned.

-Where did you go?

Gerard frowned in disgust and asked.

-A trip to the bathroom, sir, what can I do for you?

In the sanatorium.

Orlando checked in at the door and was led by staff to the room where Melina was being held. Due to her severe violent and self-abusive tendencies, she was tied to the bed most of the day.

She had lost so much weight that she was completely unrecognisable from her previous appearance.

Looking at Melina, lying lifeless on the bed, Orlando felt pain.

“He deserved it!

Orlando allowed the staff to open the door for him and entered with grace and ease.
