A ck Maybach pulls up in front of Estre Berrocal.


    A moment ago she was stopped by Lucrecia Javier and now by Adán Rouco’s car, she should not have expected it when she left home today!


    Santino Yepes got out of the car, went around the front, opened the door on this side and respectfully told her, “Miss Estre, the boss is still at the hospital, pleasee with me, the boss has asked me to take you.”


    Estre Berrocal looked coldly at Santino Yepes, “Santino, please tell him that I am finished with him and that I am not avable to see him now, I have to go to work”.


    Santino Yepes was embarrassed, rubbed his nose and said, “Miss Estre, you shoulde with me, because if not, the boss will take it out on me.”


    Normally Estre Berrocal is very friendly, but today, unusually, she was very firm: “Santino, it’s your turn to exin, I have to go to work, so I’m leaving now”.


    Defeated, Santino Yepes had to call Adán Rouco and stammered, “Boss, Miss Estre has said…”


    Adán Rouco on the other side did not look at all surprised, “You refuse toe?


    “Yes, yes … Miss Estre said she has to go to work now and no, she doesn’t have time.”


    “Then don’te to see me either.”


    “…”


    Santino Yepes broke out in a cold sweat to himself.


    “Boss, but, but Miss Star won’te to see me…”This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    He couldn’t be rude and tie Miss Star to the Chief, could he?


    But then Adán Rouco spoke coldly: “You will have to tie her up today!


    “…”


    Five minutester, Estre Berrocal was forced to sit in the back seat with her hands tied with a rope.


    Estre Berrocal’s face was irritated and she struggled hard, “Santino Yepes, you untie me”.


    Santino Yepes gave her an apologetic look through the rearview mirror and spoke fearfully, “Miss Estre, you can’t me me, it’s the boss’s orders. I do this for a living, I have no choice…”


    Estre Berrocal does not believe Santino Yepes’ bullshit.


    Santino Yepes has been surrounding Adán Rouco for years and he’s all man!


    Like Adán Rouco, he is a calctor!


    When they arrived at the Hospital del Pueblo, Santino Yepes did not dare to untie her, for fear that Estre Berrocal would turn around and run away, so he grabbed her by the rope and dragged her to Adán Rouco’s room.


    Doctors, nurses and patientsing in and out of the hospital looked at Estre Berrocal with strange eyes.


    If they didn’t know better, they would have thought she was a psychotic to be tied down uncontrobly.


    Estre Berrocal gritted her teeth and her anger shot straight to her head!


    Adán Rouco, that son of a bitch!


    It wasn’t until Santino Yepes “led” Estre Berrocal into the room that Adán Rouco looked up and his dark gaze flickered.


    “Who gave you permission to tie her up?”.


    The voice was cold and chilling.


    Santino Yepes was in a cold sweat, crying … Didn’t you ask me to tie up Miss Estre in front of you? Why are you ming her now?


    Estre Berrocal scoffed: “Adán Rouco, you don’t have to pretend to be a good person, didn’t you tell Santino to kidnap me?”.


    If he hadn’t been ordered to do so, would Santino Yepes be so bored with kidnapping her?


    Adán Rouco frowned and indicated to Santino Yepes: “Get out and close the door”.


    Santino Yepes obeyed, rolled out of the room and stood guard outside.


    I knew what Adán Rouco was referring to, and if Estre Berrocal came out, I would have to help the boss stop her.


    In the courtroom, the two faced …


    Estre Berrocal was not at his bedside, her wrists bound and staring coldly at him.


    Adam Rouco’s handsome face was sullen, but he broke the calm by lowering his head first, “Come here.”


    Two words, not too soft, but in a tone that brooked no argument or refusal.


    Estre Berrocal stood motionless, still ring angrily at him.


    Adam Rouco’s brow furrowed, with a hint of helplessness on his forehead, and he deepened his voice, saying, “Come here, I’ll untie you.”


    Only then did Estre Berrocal half-heartedly approach him, but she refused to go near him.


    Adán Rouco raised his left hand and pulled her forcefully toward him: “Am I going to eat you?


    His right hand was now so bandaged that, even if he wanted to eat it, he feared he could not move easily.


    With his nimble left hand, he untied the thick rope tied around her wrist, which seemed to be tied quite tightly, leaving several visible red marks on her pale, thin wrist.


    Adán Rouco frowned and suddenly raised his voice and cursed Santino Yepes, who was guarding the door. “Santino Yepes!


    Santino Yepes let out a snap, slipping on his feet and almost falling.


    If I hadn’t tied him tighter, Miss Star would have untied him in a heartbeat, and if I had let Miss Star escape, the boss would have been even angrier.


    Santino Yepes looked to the sky, hey … it’s hard to be human.


    In the living room, Adán Rouco’s long fingers gently caressed the red marks on Estre Berrocal’s wrists.


    Estre Berrocal pulled her hands away and said coldly, “If you hadn’t let Santino Yepes kidnap me, I wouldn’t be like this.”


    Pretending?


    Is that what you think of him?


    Adán Rouco, knowing that she was angry because yesterday he had stood her up at the RegistroCivil and made her wait all day, patiently told her, “When I get out of the hospital, we’ll go back to the RegistroCivil to do the paperwork.”


    Estre Berrocal looked at him mockingly: “Adán Rouco, do you think I’m going to let you y with me? It’s over between us.


    “It’s not over until I allow the rtionship to be over!”.


    Estre Berrocal scoffed and turned to leave when Adán Rouco’s left hand pulled her backwards, so hard that Estre Berrocal lost her bnce and fell violently into his arms, hitting her injured right shoulder.


    Adán Rouco winced.


    Estre Berrocal was startled, “Are you okay?”.


    But as soon as the question left his mouth, he sensed something was wrong and furrowed his brow angrily, “You were the one who pulled me and I touched your wound, you did it to you!”.


    Even Estre Berrocal herself froze when she uttered the words …; had she said it too harshly?


    But he had left her yesterday at the Civil Registry and had run to the hotel to sleep with Lucrecia Javier, so what was the point of his words?


    The rtionship, in any case, had no salvation.


    Estre Berrocal’s eyes were bloodshot and she struggled to get up from his arms, but Adán Rouco held her firmly. “I did it to myself, I did it to myself by driving to you in such a hurry afterst night’s ident!”


    Estre Berrocal waspletely frozen.


    What was he saying?


    Had he really had an identst night, and instead of rushing to the hospital, had he gone to the RegistroCivil to look for her first?


    Adam Rouco stared at her with a deep, dark stare, and when she stopped moving, he growled, “Now do you know how to behave?”


    But then he remembered Lucrecia Javier’s words from this morning and bit his lip, “So what, Adán Rouco, don’t think I’m going to believe you just because you left RegistroCivil yesterday, where did you go and who did you meet?”


    Adam Rouco’s dark eyes narrowed slightly.


    Indeed, it seemed that Jonathan Tasis had told him everything.


    “I was set up.”


    Estre Berrocal said amused: “Wasn’t President Rouco himself in a hurry to meet his mistress at the hotel? And who could force him? A trap? You slept with Lucrecia Javier, did Lucrecia Javier force you?”.
