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,
Chapter 74 ~ Raymond's POV=============Immediately I walked out of Valerie's house, I felt hurt, sad, and devilish.I want Valerie to be mine and I'll do anything and everything to make that happen, even if it means killing her unborn child. I'll do it.With that thought raging in my head, I brought out my car key from my pocket and pressed the button as it signaled the car lights.I walked closer to it and opened the car door.Seating at the driver's side, I swiftly placed my hands on the steering wheel.Reminiscing my life with Valerie without Dante and family in it as well as the unborn child.Gosh, I am definitely going to have her, no matter who gets eliminated in the process.And so, I started the car and drove away.My mind was in a storm during my drive, I really did not know where exactly I was headed.Then, it suddenly clicked in my head that I hadn't heard from Christine in a while.Only God knows what she is up to these days especially, since she now knows about the baby
Chapter 75 ~ Raymond's POV========Finally, the most anticipated morning arrived, boy, was I glad knowing the countdown to when Valerie and I would be together was near."Perfect," I voiced as I took a deep exhale and got up from my bed.Taking a shower was quite an easy one, as I finished so swiftly.And so, I walked out of my house, with gratitude in my heart as I didn't see any of my servants outside.Taking a deep exhale, I uttered, "A great way to start my day,"With that, I went to the park and got into my car, without wasting any time, I drove off at speed.Soon, I arrived at Dante's office I had a grin on my face knowing well I was about to cause some disaster.I got down from the car and walked into the company, as I finally reached Dante's office.Standing in front of his office door, I knocked and I heard his voice, "Whoever is there, can come in," he said.Hearing that, I opened the door and entered as I wore a smile on my face."Hey man," I greeted as Dante raised his he
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
