Chapter 37: You will be my wife forever even if you die!
Vanessa ignored Orlando, but he kept asking incessantly.
-Working,” replied Vanessa, impatiently.
-Working? Wow, Vanessa, don’t you even want to think before you lie? If you’re just designing clothes, how are you going to stay up until midnight? -Orlando asked, frowning.
-If you don’t believe me, why ask me? -Vanessa was tired of his suspicions and refuted him.
-Orlando, don’t you find it boring? I’m tired, I don’t want to fight with you any more, let alone be interrogated by you like a slave every day. Let’s divorce, that will be a relief for both of us, won’t it?Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
-No way!
-Why the hell are you refusing to get a divorce? You’re the one who hates me and has turned this marriage into a nightmare! How funny is that?
-I will not release you! Vanessa, you can never be with other men in daylight!
-Orlando, you’re crazy!
“How ridiculous! Turns out, Orlando thinks I want to get divorced so I can be with someone else”.
Vanessa scoffed to herself and went upstairs.
Orlando didn’t want to give up, he got very frustrated thinking that Vanessa asked for a divorce again and again to go to her lover. Besides, he was coming back late almost every day lately.
However, Orlando was not going to allow a divorce.
Even if she died, she would always be his wife!
-Vanessa, stand up!
-We have nothing to talk about.
-Vanessa, as you are my lawful wedded wife, you have an obligation to perform your wifely duties,” said Orlando with a devious smile and gripped her wrist tightly.
-My obligation? Orlando, if you want sex, look for Melina, who will be happy to please you.
-Are you jealous?
At that moment, Orlando’s joy exploded, because he believed that Vanessa had mentioned Melina out of jealousy and that she still loved him.
-You’re too cocky.
“Jealous? My God, I’d rather Orlando and Melina stay together for life so he doesn’t bother me anymore!”
-Melina is my tool of revenge against you.
At the time, Orlando had been pleased by Vanessa’s pleas for revenge for being with Melina and her humiliation. For the pleasure that revenge had brought him, he decided to spend more time entangled with Melina.
However, Orlando changed his mind, because he had realised that he still loved Vanessa and hated her at the same time. So, he came up with a new plan for revenge, he was going to turn Vanessa into a puppet who would die of love for him and then he could do whatever he wanted with her.
The first step towards that goal was to let Vanessa know that Melina was just a tool for him and that she was the only one he really loved in his heart.
Unfortunately, their illusion failed.
Vanessa was surprised to hear his words and even more disappointed in Orlando.
-So, Melina is just an instrument of revenge for you. Orlando, don’t you feel guilty?
-Why should I feel guilty? It was her who approached, I just took advantage of her,” Orlando defended himself in disgust, because he didn’t want to mention Melina at this point.
In addition, Orlando was quite frustrated by the nonchalant reaction of Vanessa, who was neither moved nor touched by his words.
-Orlando, how ruthless you are! -And a scoundrel!
“How sick was I to have loved such a man? Really, I should be grateful for Orlando’s sudden change, otherwise I would never know the dark side of this man.”
-Vanessa, what do you mean by that? -Orlando put more force on Vanessa’s wrist and questioned her sombrely.
-I made it very clear. Orlando, you frighten and disgust me. No matter how much you insist now, sooner or later we’ll get divorced!
At an appropriate moment, Vanessa would confess everything to her parents and they would surely support her. If Orlando continued to deny, she would expose all the evidence of his infidelity and then sue for divorce.
“Try to hang in there a little longer, Vanessa!
Vanessa said to herself.
-Don’t even dream of it! Vanessa, you will be my wife forever, even if you die.
-It is you who is dreaming.
Vanessa pulled her wrist tightly and went straight up to her room without so much as a glance at Orlando.
Orlando’s face was grim, but he had to control his anger so as not to screw up his plan. He could do whatever he wanted with her when he achieved his goal.
On the other hand, Vanessa knew nothing about Orlando’s dark thoughts and closed the door when she entered the room. Then she went to sleep without drying her hair after the shower, because she was exhausted from the intense work at the company.
The next day, Vanessa had a horrible headache and was pale as a result of sleeping with wet hair.
But there was an important meeting at the Cazalla Group and Vanessa didn’t want to miss this great learning opportunity, so she endured the headache and drove to the company after a quick breakfast.
After the meeting, Vanessa’s headache intensified so much that she wanted to rest, but she had a lot of work to do and endured her pain after taking some pills.
It was also a coincidence that Philip was not in the company, otherwise he would have forced his daughter to rest in bed.
After doing her work, Vanessa started to feel dizzy and realised she had caught a cold, because her throat was sore and she felt chills.
-Damn it,” Vanessa cursed.
Vanessa was very thirsty and when she got up to get a glass of water, she fell back into her seat and lost consciousness.
After a warning, the lift door opened and Philip stepped out with Dylan.
