Chapter: Chapter FiveValerie's POVThe monster finally unchained me after he was done. He kicked and pulled me on the ground like a criminal. I cried, face buried on my lap. I cursed him under my breath, I cursed my half-brother for putting me into this mess."Please let me go" I begged as I made to cover my bare body with my arms. He flashed a wicked sneer at me. A growl formed at the corner of his lip as though he was to consider my plea and soon he got up from his seat which stood behind the large table in the room. The hooting sound from his massive leather boots crushed against the marble tiles.I recoiled into my skin, folding my legs against each other as he approached me.

My eyes were swollen due to long hours of

Chapter: Chapter ThreeValarie's POV"You are late," Mr. Danzul said in a husky voice as I approached the dressing room."I'm sorry sir” I responded as I put out my hand to key the keys he stretched at me. The expression on his face wasn't good and I couldn't place if he was upset with me coming late or something else had hit him before my arrival."There are a ton of customers to be served and look at the time you resume" he said angrily. His tone had changed quickly."I'm —I'm sorry sir. I managed to say it again.

I knew life would be much easier and smooth now that we have done things the right way. Alex was hard-working and I too gradually grew into a great woman. For my company at least a year I should be able to boast of twenty to twenty-five employees. I had a few contracts I needed to close after the entire celebration."Have I told you you are beautiful?"
