Chapter 20~ Valerie's POV==========On the following morning, after a long night from last night, I woke up early and got ready in time, as I knew Dante would be here soon.I went to my kitchen, and I prepared breakfast, instantly, I got done, a knock was heard at my door, and opening it my doubts were right as it was none other than Dante."Good morning Dante," I greeted with a smile on my face."Good morning Valerie, may I come in," He requested of me."Of course," I permitted, allowing him to enter my apartment."Would you like some breakfast, it's homemade," I offered.But I saw the reluctance in his demeanor so I said, "Do not be fright, I am a great cook learned it from my mom,"He busted into laughter at my words and so he agreed, "Alright then,"So I took him to the dining room and I pulled out a chair for him to have a seat.I hurriedly left where he was as I went into the kitchen and dished out the food there, the instant I got done, I returned to the dining room with both
Chapter 21 ~ Valerie's POV==============Arriving at my apartment, Dante swiftly got down from the driver's seat, as he came to assist with bringing my mother down from the car."I can walk myself you know," She uttered, avoiding our help."Mom, let's just help you inside, I know you can do it yourself," I pleaded with her.Finally, she agreed to cooperate, "Okay fine," And so, both Dante and I helped her out of the car and into my apartment.Sitting here on the couch, as we reached inside, I remembered, we needed to go to work but I also felt I couldn't leave my mother home alone. So I decided to beg Dante to please spare me today as my day off."Please Dante, I want to ask you a favor," I began."What's that, I will do anything for you," Dante said as he was about to take his seat."Can I have today as a day off, so I can take care of my mother," I continued."Come on, Valerie, I'm not a child," my mother spoke up.Ignoring her words, I didn't give a response to her, but I was pa
Chapter 22 ~ Valerie's POV============With my mother's departure, I turned to Dante and I saw a smile on his face. I got curious to know why he was smiling so widely."Did something interesting happen?" I questioned."Oh no, I am just in awe of the relationship you have with your mother it makes me so jealous," He opened."I see," I said, giggling at his words."She is my only family, I'm just glad, she is getting better rather than her still in the wheelchair," continued my words."True, and family is an inevitable part of us," He added."So.....," He paused."So.... What," I uttered."Don't be a frightening being, come on let's loosen up, we could dance to a song, remember you asked me to stay for the night," Dante said.Chuckling at his utterance, I gasped instantly, "I'm not a good dancer, but I could follow your steps if only you allow my legs on yours," I replied finally."Oh, you think you are not a good dancer, you have the figure of a fantastic dancer, and I can bet my last
Chapter 23~ Valerie's POV============The following day arrived, and I slightly opened my eyes while being disturbed by the morning light shining into my room.I turned to the other side of my bed and surprisingly, I met Dante still sound asleep.I moved closer to him, chuckling to myself I touched his curly hair dangling on his forehead.Admitting this because it's a must, he looked more handsome than last night, or am I seeing what's not there, what's happening to me?But not minding the echoes in my head, I moved even closer to him to land him a kiss.As I got close, suddenly he opened his eyes and swiftly turned my back on the bed while he got on top of me.I was frightened by this but I composed myself with a heavy saliva glupping down my throat.Being on top, he kept his stare steady as he looked into my eyes like he was calling out for my soul. Then he uttered breaking the echoes of the loud breath."Well, Valerie, I see you were about to kiss me without my permission I see,"
Chapter 24 ~ Valerie's POV=========A few minutes into the drive, I and Dante arrived at the office and he parked his car at the company's garage. And he came out of his car in the driver's seat, he carefully walked to the other side of the car where I was seated to open the car door for me.To be honest, I was amused by this as I wore a wide smile on my face, because I couldn't get enough of his gentlemanliness, so I uttered, "Thank you," with a smile still on my face as I came out of the car.With that happening we walked our way into the workspace. The Instant we reached the walkway of the office, everyone quickly stood up, understanding that the boss had arrived, they all looked perplexed by the coziness between both of us but none of them dared to murmur or confront me about it.And so, Dante and I got to the entrance of his office, I wanted to go in with him but immediately I cautioned myself as I said to him."Okay......, I guess I'll head to my office now, thanks for the ri
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
