Vanessa sat up with a jerk and looked around in fright.


    -Dn…


    “Well, there’s no one here. What a scare!”


    Vanessa breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest.


    -Vanessa, did you hear me? -Ondo shouted impatiently from outside, as if he was going to break down the door at any moment.


    -Yes,” Vanessa replied weakly, getting off the bed.


    Vanessa didn’t want to open the door, but luckily Ondo stopped knocking when he heard her voice.


    -Hurry downstairs, breakfast is ready,” said Ondo and left.


    When Vanessa went into the bathroom, she saw the bites Dn had left on top of the bruises.


    “How wild!”


    After a quick wash, Vanessa applied a lot of make-up to cover the bites. The bruises were no longer so conspicuous, but they were still noticeable, so she chose a dressbined with a wide ne to cover her neck well.


    After making sure that the bruises were not noticeable, he clumsily descended the stairs, as his ankle still hurt.


    In the dining room, Gerardo was sitting in the main seat, while Dn was to his right, opposite Ondo.


    Breakfasts were ready on the table, and it seemed that everyone was waiting.


    -I’m sorry grandpa, I got upte,” Vanessa apologised and sat down next to Ondo.


    -It’s all right, you worked very hard yesterday,” Gerardo smiled kindly and asked:


    -Is your ankle feeling better now?


    -Yes.


    -Don’t neglect yourself, rest at home this week and then go back to work when you recover.


    -Yes, grandfather,” Vanessa nodded obediently.


    When Gerardo began to eat, the others also began to eat breakfast in silence. Although silence was not required at meals in the Moya family, no one spoke during breakfast.


    -I’m already full, if you’ll excuse me.


    Ondo was the first to put down his cutlery and leave.


    -Sit down,” Gerard red at him angrily.


    -I have to go to work or I’ll bete,” Ondo exined in disgust.


    -No one will criticise you for a slight dy, take Vanessa to the room when she finishes breakfast, she has sprained her ankle, and then go to work.


    -If there are many servants.


    -Do as I say, full stop.


    Seeing that Gerardo’s attitude was so harsh, Ondo had to sit back down in disgust.


    On the other hand, Vanessa ignored Ondo’s unhappy face and ate her breakfast slower than usual. And when she finished wiping her mouth, she smiled:


    -Grandpa, let Ondo go to work. I don’t want to go back to the room yet, it’s nice weather today and I want to spend some time in the garden.


    -Then let Ondo apany you to the garden.


    -No need, I can go on my own,” Vanessa denied him, smiling, as the two hated each other.


    -Would you care to join me, Vanessa? -said Dn with a smile, getting up after finishing his breakfast.


    -OK, Dn. Then apany Vanessa to the garden, as you’ve just returned, you don’t need to go to thepany,” Gerardomented cheerfully.


    It sounded like he was saying it on Dn’s behalf, but what he really wanted was for everything to be ready before Dn went to thepany.


    -Vanessa, let’s go.


    -Thank you, Dn,” Vanessa had to ept his proposal in front of Gerardo and Ondo.


    Dn approached Vanessa and let her lean chivalrously on his arm. He seemed like a nice guy, but he secretly pinched her arm, which scared Vanessa and sent her crashing into the chair.


    Gerardo and Ondo looked at her making Vanessa’s heart beat fast.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    -Does your ankle hurt so much? -Dn asked worriedly to disguise his ruse.


    -A little,” Vanessa nodded, holding in her anger.


    -Let Doctor Camilo examine you,” Gerardo said. If it’s serious, you have to go to hospital.


    -I’m fine grandfather, you go to thepany soon.


    Vanessa obediently replied and as Gerardo was in a hurry to go to thepany, she left with Ondo.


    Since they had already left, Vanessa was not going to act anymore and coldly pulled Dn’s hand away, keeping her distance from him.


    -I’m sorry, I can’t apany you to the garden, I’ve just got a sudden tiredness.


    -It’s all right, then I’ll walk you up the stairs.


    Vanessa had to change her words, as Dn was capable of seducing her in front of Gerard, and she didn’t know what he would do in the bedroom.


    -Let’s take a walk in the garden, since the flowers are blooming beautifully in the greenhouse,” Vanessa proposed as she red at Dn fiercely, but he ignored her.


    There were servants outside, so Vanessa had to let Dn guide her slowly into the garden, leading her back tost night.


    -Thendscape here is unique and looks even more special at night.


    Vanessa checked that no one else was there and turned into a fierce cat.


    -Dn, don’t go too far! We’re in Vi Moya and we could be discovered at any moment, maybe you don’t care, but I do!


    -Doesn’t that sound exciting?


    -No, not at all,” Vanessa angrily refuted his words.


    “This man is a sadist.”


    -Well,” Dn replied, but he would continue to do as he pleased.


    On the other hand, Gerardo and Ondo were sitting opposite each other inside a luxurious car and both looked quite serious.


    -Last night I slyly asked Dn about his intention to return to Peaceful City, but he was hiding it very well, he also shows no interest in joining thepany. It’s getting harder and harder to read his thoughts, and I’m no longer able to know what he’s thinking,” said Gerardo with concern.


    -What do you intend to do, grandfather?


    Gerard rubbing the soft tip of the cane did not respond.


    Ondo frowned, very annoyed by the sudden appearance of a rival for his position as heir to the Moya family.


    -Did you damage Vanessa’s neck?


    -Why are you asking all of a sudden? -Ondo became a little ufortable, and didn’t want to continue with the subject.


    -Act better,” Gerardo told him angrily. Bring me a great-grandson with Vanessa, and don’t be on a spree with so many indecent women.
