Chapter 66 ~ Valerie's POV=============Soon, as the party wore on everyone was enjoying it intensely.I was anxious upon hearing the detailed speech Dante's parents were going announce, especially the "Engagement ceremony part"While I was still waiting, Dante kept trying to talk to me but I was consistent in refusing him.Until, when I reached the corner of the house, where there was no place for me to escape, then he moved close to me, releasing his breath onto my skin.At that moment, I was frozen as I couldn't set myself free from his hold, forcing my breath to release air."Valerie, please I just want to talk," he uttered, as his breath still heavied on my skin causing a tingling sensation down my spine.My throat gulped with my saliva, allowing my skin to shiver with goosebumps all over it."I do not want to talk to you, isn't it obvious? And I returned to work as you ordered, what else do you want from me?" I said to him, demanding an explanation."Can you give me a chance to
Chapter 67 ~ Dante's POV===========I heard the sudden sound of a person's fall, prompting me to have a look, only for me to see people gathered in a circle.I moved close to them, as murmurs echoed within them.Then I neared them to see, only to find out it was Valerie."Valerie," I yelled in shock, seeing her lying unconscious on the ground.Then I rushed to hold me in my arms, "Move, move," I shouted as I lifted her into my arms, and hurriedly headed into one of the rooms in the mansion.On my way there, with Valerie in my arms, I heard Christine's voice, saying, "Dante, do you have to carry her, you could have called the ambulance,"But I paid no need to her words as the thoughts of Valerie's unconsciousness made me break all of the rules and didn't care what anyone said or might think.I don't care anymore, if this would lead to everyone knowing about our love story, as long as Valerie would one day forgive me and accept me back, I am ready to do everything I can.So I reached t
Chapter 68~ Raymond's POV========Hearing the news of Valerie's pregnancy, made my heart skip a beat as twice as possible.I can't believe, she is pregnant, so does this mean all my schemes of being friends with her again and luring Christine to their New York trip were all for nothing?I mean, every plan I had was perfectly orchestrated despite the loopholes I experienced in getting back into her good book. I was so freaking pissed, as getting her back would be twice as hard as the initial plans I had.Suddenly, Dante's parents broke off the silence as they uttered, "Why didn't you tell us, Dante,?""Because, she is so angry at me for various things I have done to her and I don't blame her for not telling me I'd do the same thing to me also," Dante spoke with a lot of expression visibly shown on his face.Then Christine broke into their conversation, "So what about me? Where do I stand?" She asked."Christine darling, you just have to understand this, we can't abandon our grandchil
Chapter 69 ~ Valerie's POV==========Watching Raymond leave the room, my gaze shifted to Dante as I sat up properly on the bed I lay on, waiting for his utterance.Though my body was extremely weak but I needed to hear what he had to say anyway.Then Dante began with his words, as he took a loud exhale."Are you pregnant?" He asked, throwing the question at me, and making it obvious that he was waiting to hear my response.But I decided to still keep the news from him, "Do I look pregnant to you?" I replied in form of a question, guarding my defense."Heh, Valerie please do not lie to me, we had a doctor here to confirm it, so quit this pretense and please tell me what I need to know, I beg of you," he pleaded with me.Leaving me no choice but to free myself of the secret, with that, I decided to speak up by adding a twist to it, solemnly to hurt his feelings so badly."Yes! I am pregnant," I began in a furious tone,"But why bother about it, not like the child is yours," I lied, as
Chapter 70 ~ Valerie's POV==========At exactly a few days of my stay at the Blaze mansion as requested by Dante's parents.I couldn't continue with my stay there, as I felt held down, mainly because I was very worried about my mother being left alone at home despite knowing she would be accompanied by her boyfriend.Then, one morning after making my decision the previous night, I stood up from the bed and began packing my things; the ones I had on the day I fainted, and left the ones I was given during my stay in the mansion Suddenly, I heard the sound of the room's door, opening, this made me look in that direction to check who was, only to find out it was Mrs Blaze."Good morning, Mrs Blaze," I greeted her with a smile on my face while I continued to get ready to leave."Good morning, love, where are you off to," Mrs Blaze inquired as she looked quipped watching me get ready."Oh! This, heh, I am leaving for my apartment, I think I have spent enough days in this mansion already,"
Chapter 71- Dante's POV=========Spending many nights at my parent's house, I kept going into the room Valerie stayed in for days, only because I wanted to feel the same air she breathed during her stay there.While, I was fully aware she wasn't interested in speaking to me, seeing how she snubbed my presence on her way back to her apartment, the last time I saw her.Then, I got to the office, feeling all hyped up because I knew, I was going to be a father.I wore a smile on my face and greeted every member of my staff as they came my way, I was elated, damn, I'm going to be a father.Finally, with my delight still going on inside of me, I reached my office and turned around repeatedly with a wide smile on my face as I had my seat.Shifting the chair closer to my working table, I opened my laptop and murmured silently to myself, "I am going to be a father soon,"With that, I remembered not seeing Valerie today despite knowing she didn't want to see me.So, I stood up and headed to he
Chapter 72 ~ Valerie's POV==========="Gosh, I've had enough of him already," I muttered silently to myself as I rested my back on the door, immediately I closed it.Then I heard my mother's voice as I saw her standing by my side suddenly."Was that Dante?" She inquired."Yes, it was," I answered truthfully."I know you don't want to tell me what went wrong between you both, but you two better fix it before this child comes into this world," my mother advised and walked away from me instantly.Her words hit me in the heart but I just can't find it within me to think of forgiving Dante.So, I walked my way to the couch to have my seat, while I tried as hard as I could to forget about him.Still feeling frustrated as my thoughts still weavers on everything that had happened between me and Dante.Then, I immediately optioned to do some yoga to take my mind off things and to enlighten my mood.Gosh, I miss Annabelle and now I wish she was here with me not in some faraway town in syphilis
Chapter 73 ~ Valerie's POV===========As I continued with the drink with Dante's father, we got into several discussions which made me realize how open he was at heart I didn't realize this because we only shared a boss and employee relationship.So my mother and Mrs blaze walked to where we were and came to join us.Curiosity to know what we were speaking about, both of them asked in unison, "So, what were you two gossiping about?"Seeing this, Mr blaze and I busted out into laughter as it was obvious they would get cozy with us to know about our conversation."What's funny?" My mother quipped."Well mother, and Dante's mother, Mr blaze and I were discussing something only two of us are eligible to know about," I responded to her.Mr blaze supporting my words, chimed into the conversation."Valerie is right, it's our secret,"Annoyed by this, Mrs Blaze couldn't even hide her expression on how irritated she felt knowing, but I personally, do not want to share our conversation.Then,
