Chapter 90 ~ Christine's POV========Seeing Dante wall away with the bouquet of lilies made me feel raged even more but I couldn't express how I was feeling.Because I had to pretend I had changed, especially now that Raymond's here.I didn't want to leave a room for suspicion, to avoid him ruining my plans.Suddenly, Raymond spoke as he directed his words to me."Christine, I didn't know you are now on a friendly note with the family again," he said.I had to wear a fake smile as I replied to him, "Yes I am now, who am I not to forgive,"Mrs Blaze chimed into the conversation as she uttered, "Come on Raymond, quit disturbing dear Christine, do not be such a big bully,"I took a deep breath as I found confidence that I had Dante's parents' support."Okay, okay, my bad, I apologize, Miss Christine," Raymond apologized audibly.But I saw him mouthed inaudibly words to me from a distance, "I am watching you,"I didn't care what he thought but all I knew was that no one was coming to dis
Chapter 91 ~ Christine's POV===========After some minutes, one of the maids came to the sitting room where I was still seated as I was the only one remaining there.She began, "Good day, Miss Christine, Mrs. Blaze said I should inform you about your room.is ready now and you can go in and get settled.""Oh! Thank you dear," I responded to her with a smile.Instantly, I stood up and muttered silently, "It's about time,"With that, the maid led the way to the room that was given to me as I walked behind her following her steps.A few seconds later, we got to the entrance door of the room and she opened it wide for me."Here's your room, Miss Christine," She informed me with a smile on her face.Then, I walked into the room and with so much satisfaction in me, as I said my words of gratitude to her, "Thank you,""You are welcome ma'am, I'll take my leave now," the maid said finally as she turned and walked out of the room and closed the door once she had left.I felt so much delight in
Chapter 92 ~ Christine's POV ===========It was exactly two days of my stay in the Blaze mansion and trust me, it felt nice to get to see Dante every morning for these two days.Despite seeing him always trying his best to talk to Valerie as you know Valerie with her uptight behavior didn't give him the chance to have a conversation with her.Getting out of my room, I headed downstairs as I heard the echoes of loud laughter cocooning.Reaching there, I realized Valerie and Dante were present as were his parents and her mother and of course, Raymond.Without a doubt, upon him seeing me, he gave me a sneering look but I didn't care anyway.I wore a smile on my face as I uttered, "Good morning everyone,""Oh! Christine, good morning, "Mrs Blaze responded as well as Mr Blaze and Mrs Skye.But at the sight of me, Dante walked away from the sitting room where everyone was seated.I felt somehow but I believe he will come around for sure especially when he becomes mine again."Isn't it a l
Chapter 93~ Dante's POV========Hours went by and I was focused on my work then suddenly the thoughts of Valerie flashed through my thoughts.Wondering what it is I could do for her to forgive me.As it is, I needed her forgiveness but I wasn't going to rush things with her.Because, I want it to be her true wish to forgive me.But then, I suddenly remembered, I should check up on her, though I won't be on a call with her directly.So, I thought to call my mother."Where is my phone," I said to myself softly, searching for where I was.Suddenly, my eyes went to the bookshelf in my office, only for me to find it there."There it is," Taking a deep exhale, I walked my way to where it was.And getting there, I took it and turned on the phone.Only to discover I had a missed call from Mister Robinson, who was an old client of mine."I'll call him back," I spoke out as checking on Valerie's arrival was heavied in my heart.With that, I searched for my mother's number on my phone contact
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
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 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 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
