Chapter 58 ~ Valerie's POV=========="Dante," Raymond called out, as I looked behind me instantly finding out the voice was Dante's."So this is why you were acting somehow to me," He said, concluding upon what he saw."What are you doing here Dante," I asked him."What am I doing here? Are you seriously asking me that question right now?" Dante inquired as his facial expression was showing hurt but trust me I am not affected by it."I am having dinner with my friend, that's all I am doing here," I answered him with a firm look."I thought my eyes were deceitful when I saw both of you enter his car in front of your house but I wasn't," He opened up, which made me realize that the black car I saw earlier was indeed his, gosh, my guts are always right.Chiming in Raymond uttered, "But Dante we are not doing anything wrong here, it's just two people having dinner here with no strings attached,"Beating the table with my hands, as I was already infuriated by Dante's attitude, I stated, "
Chapter 59 ~ Valerie's POV========Some days after my resignation letter hullabaloo, I continued working in Blaze publishing company as my choices of leaving were limited this time, only because I value my reputation in the presence of Dante's father.One morning, while I was working in my office with so much tranquility involved. Suddenly, my door opened widely as I saw Dante barge into my office."Couldn't you knock?" I blurted out in annoyance."This is my company and I can enter wherever I want without anyone's permission," He clarified lacing it with brags."Rich brat," I murmured silently to myself."What did you say?" He questioned, I think he heard, but who cares?"Why are you in my office Dante?" I asked him with a straight face.''Get ready we are both going on a business trip," he announced."Business trip? Isn't there anyone else you could go with?" I said to him, trying to dodge his attempts to make to go with him."There is, but I want you to come with me, are you ques
Chapter 60 ~Dante's POV ========Why does she always make everything between us get intensified for no reason, but I had to plead with her to allow this work."Please, Valerie, just say yes, I'll stay as far away from you as possible," I assured her, backing it up with a plea.She still insisted on standing on her negative response. I felt frustrated with her behavior but I remained calm.Then I asked the receptionist, "Is there any alternative available?""No there isn't sir, I'm sorry," she responded.Suddenly, I heard her voice, "Alright, fine, I'd share a suite with you," she finally said.Hearing this I took a deep breath, "Thank you," I appreciated.And on that note, the receptionist gave me the card to open the room."The hotel attendants will help you with your luggage," She said."Enjoy your stay sir and ma," She continued as her smile ended her words.So I turned to my driver as I voiced out to him, "You can leave now, we can sort ourselves from here thank you," "Take care
Chapter 61~ Valerie's POV============Dante and I got to our booked suite, as a sudden awkwardness full of stillness rose between us.It didn't bother me because I had nothing to say to him.Eventually, Dante voiced out breaking the quietness, "Should we go grab a drink at the bar section?" He asked.I quipped hearing the word drink, as I knew taking them would affect my unborn child."I don't take alcoholic drinks anymore," I responded."Heh, when did you get so...... Uptight?" he asked, with a sneer beneath his utterance."It's nothing for you to involve yourself in," I quickly spoke out in defense of my secret."Okay...., Can we just leave this room to the bar section of the hotel, I think I need some drink, and of course you can take anything of your preference," Dante requested.I wanted to turn down his offer, but I needed to have some juice also, so I quickly responded, "Okay, let's go,"Then we left the suite we were in and walked our way to where the bar section was located.
Chapter 62 - Valerie's POV============I woke up the following day, thinking it was all a bad dream hoping to see Dante next to me.But it wasn't, that bastard got me played yet again, so I stood up from the bed, and I reminded myself that he was still my boss and I worked for him but once these meetings were over and we turned to Seattle, I'll find a solution to all these created messes.So I got dressed early and walked out to the lobby, hoping to see Dante there, and thankfully he was there.I didn't want to see him, but yet again I am stuck with no choice but to see his face.Nearing where he was seated, as he was pressing his phone, I cleared my throat as I said to him, "Are there meetings we have to attend?" throwing out my question to him with a sneer look on my face."There is, but we need to be patient," he responded to me in a calm tone.Then I moved to the other side of where he seated, very far away from him, to have my seat, so I could join him in wait.Momentarily, I he
Chapter 63 ~ Dante's POV=============Turning back, when I heard my name, I kept trying to eye search who was calling out my name but I found no one.Then I returned to my initial position at the checkpoint, salivating upon my worst nightmare, seeing Valerie getting cozy with Raymond.Curse Christine for telling her about my initial pretense towards her but I wish, she could see how much I have changed because of her and how much I am deep in love with her.Even with the female voice that called out my name, I could see an unsurprised expression visibly shown on her face, meaning that she had no hope of not getting surprised by me.How I wish she could make me rectify all my errors and quit accepting help from Raymond, Argh, it pisses me off whenever she does it.Finally, we got checked in successfully and boarded the flight.Throughout the entire journey, Valerie didn't utter a single word to me but poured each of her jokes out to Raymond.Gosh, I was so jealous seeing them together
Chapter 64 ~ Valerie's POV=======After a long drive, from the airport, the taxi finally reached my apartment, and I extended my gratitude to Raymond for being a great help to me.Then I said my goodbyes to him, as I got out of the car and watched the taxi get driven away.Soon I entered my apartment, and surprisingly, I met my mother who was cozy with a strange man.This triggered my exclamation, "Mom!" I shouted.She was embarrassed upon seeing this, as she stood up in a rush, settling into her normal composure."Darling, you are here?" She said while keeping her balance."Mom, who is this?" I questioned her, demanding an answer.Clearing her throat, she began, "Sweetie,""Meet Desmond, my boyfriend, and Desmond meet my daughter, Valerie," She introduced."Oh my goodness, Mom," I uttered as laughter followed it.She looked embarrassed, and so did Desmond as he uttered suddenly, "I think should leave," and instantly he took his jacket from the couch, and brushed my mother's lips wit
Chapter 65 ~ Valerie's POV=============Reaching the office, on the following day, I felt cringed as I knew coming here was not of my deepest desire.I entered my office, and began my work for the day, waiting and expecting a knock on my door.Soon, the expected knock was heard, as I uttered out loud , "Whoever's there can come in," without checking who it was, as all my thoughts were that it would be no one else but Dante.Hearing my door open, I saw it was Ruth coming in with a paper in her hand."Oh! It's you," I said, with a hint of surprise in my voice."Yes, Miss Skye, it's me, I am delighted to see you have resumed back to work," she said to me, as I could see a slight laugh on her face."I am," I responded to her."Do you have any for me? Or perhaps want something?" I inquired with a firm look on my face."Mr. Dante, I mean the boss, asked me to give you this invitation, in case I see you at the office," Ruth said to me."Isn't he in his office?" I asked, quipped as I didn't
Chapter 102 ~ Valerie's POV========A few months later, I was living in the Blaze's house with so much happiness and worry-free thoughts in me.Dante and I were finally doing well for ourselves, we even bought a new house on the outskirts of the city.I mean we can't wait to live together as a couple once we welcome our child into this world.On a sunny day, I was seated alone in the sitting room while I was busy reading some parenting books.Dante was in his room working while the rest of the family went out to shop.I do not know what they went out to buy, hopefully, it is something to my benefit.Suddenly, I heard footsteps walking into the mansion and with that, I lifted my gaze to see who it was.Only to discover it was Raymond.With fright in me, I stood up in a rush and my voice increased in fear as I spoke."Raymond, what are you doing here?" I asked him, while I was shaking in fear."Please Valerie, listen to me," he said to me as he moved closer to me.Then, I heard Dante's
Chapter 101 ~ Valerie's POV==========Not too long, we got done with breakfast and I and Dante headed to the hospital not too long after that.The drive was a boring one as no one spoke a word throughout the journey.I wanted to, but, I had to act a little bit tough towards him.Soon, we got to the hospital and once we were in, we headed straight to the nurse's counter."Good morning nurse," Dante said."Good morning Mr blaze," the nurse responded.I was quite surprised Dante was that known, I know he is a billionaire but it was on another level."Is doctor Helen on seat?" He inquired."Yes, yes he is on seat," the nurse replied with a smile on her face.It felt like she was flirting but who cares?I said to myself.Stretching his hands to me, which was a sign for him to hold onto me.Well, I wanted to refuse initially but, I just had to agree to him as I didn't want any more drama in my life."Thank you, nurse," he uttered to the nurse.And with that, he walked us to the doctor's o
Chapter 100 ~ Valerie's POV=========Soon we arrived at the mansion, and I must confess it was a hectic experience for me but I kept wondering why I hadn't seen Raymond or Christine around.It was strange to me as that snake Christine would have been hovering around Dante.Not like I care or anything but it was strange.Dante stopped the car, and we all got down.Gosh, I was extremely weak, and thank goodness Dante made them discharge me from the hospital, he is a lifesaver.Though I still hate the sight of him, why does my heart melt for him these days?Seeing how much struggle I was going to walk fast, then he neared me and carried me in his arms unexpectedly.I felt giddy at this act of his and somewhat embarrassed.I mean I am a grown woman who is pregnant heavily, he should cut me some slack with his romantic hullabaloo.Though he looks so cute to me suddenly, focus, Valerie I said to myself the moment I started staring at him while he walked his way into the mansion with me in
Chapter 99 ~ Dante's POV===========I was able to get through to my parents over the phone and honestly, their happiness was beyond compare.I haven't seen them this joyous since the accident with Valerie.But I am glad that's over now, after speaking with them, I returned my phone to my pocket and waited outside the ward, because I knew seeing me would only make Valerie get infuriated with anger.Still, I was glad she was over the dying phase.At exactly thirty minutes, I saw my mom and dad with Valerie's mother walking at full speed as they approached where I was seated."Where is she?" Valerie's mother asked, as her voice echoed how much she couldn't wait to see her daughter."She is inside the ward," I responded, pointing my fingers in the direction of the ward."Okay, let's go inside," my mother instructed.But I couldn't because I was certain I was going ruin their moments together."Valerie doesn't want to see the sight of me, not even on her sick bed," I explained to them.Th
Chapter 98 ~ Dante's POV==========After so many weeks of showing up at the hospital to check on Valerie.My parents and Valerie's mother were losing hope in Valerie as their saddened faces whenever they visited her at the hospital, they kept sulking in their eyes each time they saw her.But enough of that, having all their tears and sadness hovering around her could also be a reason for her still being in a coma state.Then, one day while I was seated In the ward Valerie was seated too.It was a private ward to be precise because I didn't want any disturbance or discomfort that would pull back her recovery.I just wanted her to open he eyes once more and fight with me like she does.So, I sat next to her on the bed she laid on and held onto her hands while I gently spoke a few words to her."You know Valerie, you don't look so good when you have your eyes closed for a long time, your beauty starts to fade bit by bit,""I wish you were awake, I would tell you the evil scheme Raymond
Chapter 97 ~ Dante's POV========Arriving where the rest of the family gathered, I gulped down saliva down my throat as I stood in front of my parents and Valerie's mother.Seeing me there, they all stood up as the curiosity on their faces was extremely visible to anyone."What did the doctor say?" My mother said first."Yes Dante, please tell us everything do not hide one bit of information from us," Valerie's mother added.Taking a deep exhale as I decided to tell them nothing but the truth at that moment.They deserve to know everything, well aside from the truth about Raymond and Christine that I just found out.They would also know about that in a few minutes or hours.Well, by the time the police arrive here though."The doctor gave a bad news," I began."Yes, going on," my mother encouraged, I think she noticed my hesitation in giving the full details."Valerie is in a coma," I continued, with my gaze lowered as couldn't't bear to see the reaction on my mother's and Valerie's
Chapter 96~Dante's POV===========Entering the doctor's office, he closed the door behind me as he walked his way to his sofa chair.Comfortably having his sit, he asked if I should have my seat also.I did, as he asked.Meanwhile, I was praying deep within me that he didn't have bad news to give to me."Mr." The doctor paused, as he had a look on his face which hoped I completed his words."Mr. Blaze, doctor, please tell me the full details of Valerie's health status," I inquired with so much desperation in me.I think he noticed this.Then, he had a soft smile on his face, with both of his hands clamped together."Firstly, I want to say the unborn child is fine," he began.Hearing this, I felt some settlement within me as I was grateful our child was safe.Then, my thoughts returned to the doctor, as I noticed he said nothing about Valerie's health.So, I asked him as anxiety took the best of me."How about my wife?"I could see a sudden glump of saliva down his throat, making my c
Chapter 95~ Raymond's POV============I was perplexed the instant I saw Christine with Mr and Mrs Blaze and Valerie's mother.Wondering how fast she was able to get to the blaze's mansion as he saw her at the crime scene with the so-called cousin or brother of hers.I don't even know the truth at this point but all I was certain of was that she caused Valerie's accident.And thank God I was able to call the police in time to help me.I said all of these to myself as I kept looking for a time to drag Christine to a corner and confront her about what she had done.Suddenly, the lights of the intensive care unit went off which was an indication for us to be aware of the end of the operation.It was obvious everyone was now patiently expecting the doctor to come out to them.The wait took a while but eventually, it was all worth it as the doctor came out at last.Removing the nose mask he had covering his nose and mouth with his stethoscope wrapped around his neck."Doctor, how's she?" w
Chapter 94~ Dante's POV=========="Gosh, why is this happening," I said to myself, the instant I entered my car.Taking a deep exhale, I placed my phone on the seat next to me as I tucked my car key into the ignition.Only to hear a vibrating sound erupting from my phone."Who could that be?" I murmured to myself as I stretched out my right hand to take it.Holding the phone in my hand, the phone was vibrating still.Only for me to discover it was Raymond calling.Seeing this, I found it worrisome to see his number pop up on my screen.Though we are both cool it felt sort of strange to me."Geez, I wonder why I am having so many creepy feelings today," I said to myself.But despite that, I clicked on the answer button shown on my screen and placed the phone on my right ear."Hey bro, what's up," I said to him as I sniffed in my nose real quick."Please come to the city hospital real quick, Valerie was in an accident," he said to me in a worried and quick tone."What?" I said in shoc
