Chapter 25 ~ Dante's POV =============Entering my office, after I left Valerie smiled at me on her way to her office.I wore a sudden grin of satisfaction on my face, as I closed my door and headed to sit on the couch towards my working table.Taking a deep breath audibly, I placed my hands over my neck with solace all over me."Finally I had my way with her......., Again," I muttered to myself with a smirk on my face."To think she believes the "I love you" I used on her," I scoffed as I spoke."Little Miss Valerie doesn't know what's coming for her, Love," I sneered, "Who falls in love in this century, it's just a word we all like to misuse," I continued So I stood up, and walked to my working table, as I took my seat."I'd just continue with my games with the sweet Valerie and surely will I enjoy the fascinating sex, then I will make her learn not to mess with Dante Blaze," I uttered with my expression firm and determined.And with that I began my work for the day, as I shifted
Chapter 26 ~ Dante's POV==========The next day arrived, as I stood up from the bed and left Valerie still resting on the hospital bed, I walked away from the bed as I stood by the window side with my arms folded.Then, I suddenly heard the sound of the door opening, and turning back, I saw it was the doctor.The doctor was in shock, seeing me stand there, so I hurriedly walked toward him"Good morning Doctor," I greeted, stretching my hands out to him for a shake."Good morning, who are you to my patient," he asked politely, receiving my gestured handshake."Oh, I'm-Im- I'm her husband," I lied covering up my initial pretense to the nurse at the counter."Oh," the doctor exclaimed in realization.Then he moved close to Valerie who was still fast asleep and touched her hands to check her pulse, and then she blinked her eyes as she slowly opened them."Good morning Miss, I believe you had a wonderful night," the doctor asked.Smiling softly, she responded to him, while I stood and wat
Chapter 27~ Dante's POV==========After spending most hours at the office working nonstop, subsequently, my phone rang while the clicking sound from my laptop was audibly heard.Picking it up for a look, I realized it was my father calling.Rolling my eyes over, I inhaled a deep breath as I answered the call."Hello Dad," I began."Hello son, how are you doing?" He said."Good, Dad, pushing it as always," I uttered to him."Well, I just wanted to check up on you, since it's been a while since I saw you," he continued as I could perceive the sadness laced beneath his words."Dad, are you okay?" I inquired with my attention shifted to him in full."I just thought we could have dinner tonight, I know you have your apartment and all, but I and your mother want some time with you if that's not too much to ask," My father requested.Taking a deep breath, I couldn't say no to his request because I would never want to hurt my parent's feelings no matter what.So I responded to him, "Okay, Da
Chapter 28 ~ Valerie's POV==========After ending my call with Dante, I had a mix of emotions in me as I was happy because he was spending time with his parents, Mr and Mrs blaze, and at the same, I was sad because I wouldn't be seeing him again today.But I had to quit these selfish thoughts of everything because my ankles were killing me. So I remained on my bed as I lay still.Then suddenly, my phone rang out, and I stretched out my hand by my side to pick it up.Taking it, I vertically placed the phone as I checked the caller ID only to discover it was an unknown number."Who could this be?" I said, questioning myself on the caller's identity, while the phone ringing persisted.Having a doubtful mind, I didn't know what to do, whether to respond to the call or ignore it.But my curiosity won me over, as I answered the call."Hello," I said.But I heard nothing from the other end."Hello-ooo," I uttered again, elongating my tone.Still, I got nothing and then I decided to end the
Chapter 29~ Valerie's POV=========After a long drive on the road, Dante and I finally arrived at a fancy-looking restaurant which it's name was inscribed, "The Dandelions".Truthfully I was impressed with his choice and I voiced, "Great choice,"With a slight smile, he uttered "Thanks, A unique spot for a unique woman, it's a win-win choice," Instantly, I blushed at his words as I saw him open the door at his side of the car.Swiftly, approaching my side of the car, he gently held on to the car handle as he opened it wide and said, "My lady?"Do not see me as a fairytale kind of girl but every time he opens the door for me, I always feel like I am the only girl in the world which triggers my self-confidence in every way possible.Seeing this, I said to him, "Thank you, Dante," with a smile on my face I carefully got out of the car and he immediately slammed the door as I stood in front of it.Then he uttered to me with his right arm curved for my hands to be ushered in it. "Shall w
Chapter 30 ~ Valerie's POV=========After the dinner we had, we walked our way to his car, as we entered it, he didn't drive instantly but turned his look at me I could see him staring directly into my eyes like he was about to rip out my soul."Why are you staring at me that way?" I asked with a smile on my face."Nothing just want to stare at you for the rest of the night," He responded, with sincerity shown in my eyes."Well, I love it when you look at me that way, it makes me feel hot," I opened."Really, tell me what else you feel when I stare at you," He said, encouraging my word flow as he moved closer to me.I couldn't breathe properly as I was consumed by my desires, so I began speaking in a more sexier way I could think of at that moment.I didn't resist his allure as he got so close to me with his lips, not an inch away from me.So without hesitation, I met his lips with mine as we began melting into one another with a deep driven French kiss.Gosh, why is he so good at th
Chapter 31~Valerie's POV=========On the following day, I woke up on time even before the alarm buzzed.I got dressed in a classy but elegant manner as I headed to the sitting room with my channel bag held in my hand.Then I heard my mother's voice, "You are up early?" She said.Chuckled I responded, "Yes Mom, I have to work you know,""Right, just be comfortable at work so it won't draw back your healing," She reminded."Of course Mom, I'm not a child, I'd be on my way now," I said to her."So.... How'd I look?" I inquired after agreeing to her shown care."Beautiful as always," She complimented."Thanks, Mama," I thanked her as I moved close and kissed her on her cheek."Alright ma, bye and take care of yourself," I said finally as I walked out of my apartment.Stepping outside I knew it would be a long day for me as I saw no taxi in place.So I took my phone out of my bag held it in my hands, and began clicking on the buttons, "I just hope there is an Uber close by," I said.Then
Chapter 32~Valerie's POV===========Upon arriving there, I was greeted with the warmest regards and then we instantly went straight into our given agenda.Within some time it all came to an end as I found some extremely talented authors.Then they all dismissed from the conference room, leaving only Dante and I there.So..... What do you think?" He began as the silence echoed loudly on us."Are we making the right decision by accepting these author's creatives," he continued."Well, I wouldn't judge them yet, but I could feel it in my guts and the manner they presented their story outline, that it would be the best decision we have ever made in this company," I said to him."Alright then, I trust your judgment," He uttered to me, exhaling his breath audibly."I'd go now, so I can work on these books, then I would draft out the summaries and bring them to you in a file," I said to him, as I jilted my seat back a little."No problem Valerie I'll be in my office whenever you are ready,"
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
