Chapter 6~ Dante's POV
===========The next morning, as I reached his office, I placed a call to Ruth on the landline in my office. Once the call got connected I began, "Hello, Ruth, how are you doing,""I'm great sir, I hope you received the the text message I sent to you sir," She inquired."Yes, I did, please can you inform Miss. Skye, I want her in my office right away," I ordered."I will inform her right away sir, and congratulations on your first day at work sir," Ruth added.With a slight smile, I responded, "Thank you," and instantly I disconnected the call as I returned to my filled-up table, with for Valerie's appearance in my office, as I had plans she won't ever see coming.After an hour, I was still infused in my work when I remembered, I had yet to see Valerie, then I placed the call once again to Ruth, "Hello Ruth, I am yet to see Miss. Skye, didn't you inform her, I want her in my office?" I asked."Sir, I did inform her instantly, I got off the call with you, and she told me she would be in your office swiftly but now you are saying she hasn't come, I am also in awe sir," Ruth explained to me.Taking a deep breath, I already understood what was happening, so I told Ruth, "Nevermind about it, I will sort it out,""Very well sir," she said, and so the call got disconnected.Dropping the receiver on the telephone, I smirked softly, "Acting all tough, huh? I guess I will have to go to her myself, then I'd see how she would escape talking to me,"Then I stood up and headed to her office with the help of some of my employees I met on my way there, I finally got there.Slightly knocking, She huffed out a question, "Who is there?"But I intentionally didn't give a response, so I gave a knock once again, "Who is there?" She asked, but this time, there was a hint of anger underneath her voice.Still, I refused to answer her, but before I gave the third knock, her office door was suddenly opened, as she found out it was me, her frown face, shifted immediately, "Oh! It's you," she said."Come in," She uttered, with a slight sneer.Entering her office, she closed her door, as I looked around I noticed there was no way to reflect outside what was happening inside, so I decided to take my chances with her.Offering me a seat, "Please sit down," She said. I began with a question, "Why have you refused to appear in my office when I asked Ruth to call you,""I'm busy, and I don't have time for you rubbish talks, staying away from you brings less violence to me," she responded, as she rolled her eyes.Seeing her eyes, all I could think of was fucking her so hard just like the other night.But still composed myself, as I thundered out, "Do you realize it's your boss you are talking to,""Oh, I forgot, BOSS, I was busy, and you can see it not like you are blind," she blotted out.With that, I stood up to where she was seated, and I lifted her jaw, which resulted in her looking me in the eyes, So I said, "Whether you like it or not, the night we had will be repeated countless times, and there is nothing, I mean nothing you can do about it, and never let it out of your head that I, Dante Blaze is the man you had a one night stand with and trust me, I will make you mine,"Saying this, I saw the fear in her face, and then I freed her jaw from my hand.Trying to regain her grip, jutting her chin in defiance, " You are so wrong about me, I am not cheap neither am I weak, I am not a thing you can toy with, whether you are my boss or not, my position in this company gives me the power to do whatever I want and there is nothing you can do to stop it,""Oh really, "I teased her "We will see about that," and so I stormed out of her office.With that, I decided not to go directly into my office, so I headed to the office garage where my car was parked and so I drove out.A few seconds later, I stopped at a restaurant close to the office, as I needed to have a drink to relax my nerves, entering there, I had my seat and signaled to the waiter to bring me an alcoholic champagne and without wasting time, he brought it to my table.Drinking it, a beautiful but stunning woman walked into the restaurant with so much elegance in her steps I was so damned because that lady is so fine and I am moving close to her.Patiently I waited, as I watched her seated and ordered her drink. As soon as I discovered, she was in her comfort zone. I called out to the waiter by signaling.And hurriedly, he came, "I'm here since," he said with a bit of professionalism in his voice."Do you see that lady in a denim jumpsuit," I said slightly pointing."Yes, sir I see her," He uttered."Can you please add her bill to mine," I instructed him.And so he nodded his head and quickly he returned to his post. Not too long, the beautiful lady, waved at the waiter, as she wanted to settle her bill.Upon the waiter, reaching there, he waved his hands to her by stopping her from paying and pointed his hands in my direction, causing the lady to look at me.I waved at her in a flirtatious manner, which prompted her to invite me to her seat. Seeing this, I knew I was already a player in this lustful game of mine.The moment, I reached there, I stretched out my hands to her as a means of greeting, "Hello beautiful," I said to her.And with a blush on her face, she placed her hands on mine, as she responded, "Hello handsome, I must confess, you do know your ways around women,""Well, I'd take that as a compliment," I said to her, wearing a wide smile."Please have your seat," She offered.And snappily, I pulled out the second chair by her table and had my seat."So, may I know your name, "I started, initiating my player mode."Well, I am Lidia, Lidia Robinson," She responded."I guess your parents took their time in finding a name for you because it suits you perfectly," I praised.Chuckling, she said, "Thank you, so you haven't told me your name by chance or isn't that how it works,""My apologies, senorita, my name is Dante, Dante Blaze, and I am single by the way," I introduced myself."You are a funny man," she teased."Anyways, you know why I am here, I saw you from a distance, and babe, you took my breath away, if I am not too forward, may I have your digit, perhaps we could hang out sometime," I requested.And to my surprise, she instantly agreed, and we exchanged numbers, trust me, she made everything easy for me.Soon after that, I said to her, "It's nice meeting you Lidia, I have to run off to work now,"And lifting her hands toward my lips for a kiss, I continued with a glint of charm in my eyes, "I will call you tonight that's a promise to you, mama,"She reddened at my words, leaving a smile on her face, and with that, I headed towards the exit door of the restaurant and left.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 h
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
