Chapter 51: You disgust me
When Vanessa had not yet decided whether to turn to Dylan for help, it was rumoured among the aristocrats that her husband despised her and that she would soon divorce him.
-Vanesa, what’s going on with you and Orlando? -Mercedes hung up her friend’s call and asked Vanesa worriedly.
-We’re fine,” Vanessa replied.
As Vanessa had been resting at home and didn’t surf the internet much either, she didn’t know anything about what Orlando had done.
Mercedes didn’t usually ask so insistently, but after receiving several calls from her friends, she took a serious look at Vanessa’s expression and was able to find some anomaly.
-Vanessa, look at me and tell me the truth. You and Orlando, are you… suffering a crisis? -asked Mercedes with a serious face and took Vanessa’s hand.
Vanessa stiffened and quickly pretended it was nothing:
-We get along very well. Why do you ask so suddenly? Mum, don’t tell me you’ve been watching some weird show?
-I’m serious.
Mercedes looked at the smiling Vanessa with dissatisfaction, because she was really worried about her daughter after hearing the news from her friends.
-Vanessa, don’t lie to me. Orlando, is he involved with Melina?
Vanessa’s smile almost faded and she had to clench her fist secretly to hide it.
-No, why do you say that?
-Really?
-Yes,” promised Vanes seriously, and Mercedes could see nothing unusual.
-I don’t understand why my friends tell me that.
Vanessa’s heart trembled, because Mercedes’ friends were aristocratic ladies from the Pacific City. Mercedes did not like to participate in banquets, but her friends did.
“Orlando and Melina did something at the banquets? I wouldn’t forgive them if something happened to my mother!
Vanessa clenched her fists as she thought about it, but didn’t show her face and asked tentatively:
-What gossip have they told you?
-Several of my friends called me saying that they saw Orlando and Melina appearing together at the banquets in a very intimate way, and they came to tell me.
-I thought it was something else,” said Vanessa, dumbfounded.
-Did you know about the case? -Mercedes asked Vanessa, giving her the evil eye.
-Orlando would have gone to socialise at the banquets and Melina is his secretary, it’s normal for them to go together. I don’t know if you knew that Melina has been working with Orlando for a while now.
-What? -Mercedes was surprised and then frowned.
“It’s not that I want to think badly of Melina, but her relationship with Orlando is not very appropriate, because she is his sister-in-law in private and his secretary at work. It would generate a lot of rumours.
-Why did Melina become Orlando’s secretary? Wasn’t she satisfied with her previous job?
-Maybe she wants a change of scenery, I don’t know. Come on, mother, don’t think too much,” said Vanessa helplessly, while she was so afraid that Mercedes might not believe her and insist….
“I have to call Orlando, to clear all this up.”
When Vanessa managed to convince Mercedes, she changed the subject to divert her attention and breathed a sigh of relief after returning to her room.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
However, Mercedes had pretended to believe her, but immediately called her friends to ask them to inform her of Orlando and Melina’s every move.
After lying down for a while, Vanessa called Orlando, but no one answered after several attempts and when she was about to give up, she was picked up.
-Hey, Vanessa… Ah, it was Melina who answered the phone instead of Orlando.
His voice sounded very strange, as if he had a cold, but later Vanessa realised what was going on there after hearing those strange crashing noises.
“Yuck!”
-Tell Orlando to call me after you’ve finished.
Vanessa hung up the call, threw the phone on the bed, staggered to the bathroom and threw up because it was too disgusting.
-Oh,” Melina was hit hard, her body jerked forward and she had to grab the bed quickly to keep from falling. Orlando… The call was hung up.
Suddenly, Orlando stopped his movements and showed hostility on his sweaty face. After the pause, he continued to make more violent shocks than before.
Having enjoyed the sex, Orlando withdrew straight away and went into the bathroom naked to take a shower.
Later, Orlando came out wrapped in a towel and Melina was lying on the bed. The thin quilt half covered Melina’s back waist, so that she looked more attractive.
Orlando glanced at it and then sat down to smoke.
“Am I not attractive?”
Melina thought resentfully, then deliberately stopped posing and sat down with the thin quilt in her arms.
-Orlando, Vanessa wants you to call her.
That said, she got out of bed naked, walked over to Orlando with her phone and handed it to him.
-Give me your hand.
Melina didn’t know why, but she reached out her hand and Orlando pressed the cigarette into her palm teasingly.
-Ah!” Melina screamed, trembling with pain, and she could smell her flesh burning, giving a sickening sensation.
-Orlando…” Melina looked at Orlando in surprise with her teary eyes, showing aggravation.
-Did I let you answer the phone? Melina, I warned you not to do things behind my back or else I’ll punish you for it.
-Orlando, I’m sorry, forgive me. It’s because I love you too much and I’m jealous of Vanessa calling you. That’s why I wanted to make her a bit angry, I won’t do it anymore…
Orlando snorted and threw the unlit cigarette in the trash.
At that moment, Melina’s palm was burned and she was trembling with pain.
-Get out!
