Chapter 86~ Valerie's POV===========Christine still standing at my doorstep, because I didn't let her in, I can't even stand her presents, Arrgh.So, I responded to her words said, "There is nothing to forgive, Dante and I aren't together again, so it's a win-win for us," "But Valerie...." She tried talking but I halted her words momentarily.Because I was already frustrated with her nonsense.Then, I heard Anna's voice, "Who's that Valerie?" She inquired.I wasn't even hesitant to respond to her as I yelled, "It's Christine," With that, I heard her footsteps coming to the door area where I stood.Meanwhile, Christine still had her pity-worn-out face as she was still staring at me."What do you want again Christine? Haven't you done enough damage already do you want to separate both of them separately?" Annabelle said as she finally reached where we stood."I do not want any trouble, that's why I am here pleading to earn your forgiveness, I just want us to be on a good term with o
Chapter 87~ Valerie's POV=========I took a deep breath as I finally thought of giving a response"I can't stop your son from coming to your house because it's not mine but all I can request from you also is not allowing him to come near my room, he shouldn't, if he does, I promise that's the last time, I'd ever let anyone of you see me and my child," I uttered to them as I voiced my mind.Hearing all I said, silence clouded the room which left me curious to hear what they also had to say in response.My gaze shifted to Annabelle as she mouthed to me inaudibly, "What are you doing?"I gestured with my eyes, making her understand that I knew what I was doing.Seeing this, I noticed the look on her face as it was filled with worries.But I only thought of using this medium to leave my house at least a little vacation wouldn't hurt."Okay," Mrs Blaze agreed as his face lighted up with a smile."Okay..." I uttered as I paused momentarily to be sure what her okay meant."Okay, we will do
Chapter 88 ~ Christine's POV=======I began feeling unsettled the moment I left Valerie's place.Damn, the road to redemption is tougher than I expected.So, I thought of going to the Blaze mansion to find solace as Mrs Blaze already permitted me to come anytime I wanted.Taking advantage of myself isn't bad after all.With that, I drove my way to the blaze's mansion, and when I finally got there.I came down from my car and walked my way into the house.Immediately, I entered only to see Valerie situated in a sitting room."What's she doing here," I murmured inaudibly to myself.Surprise crept in me upon seeing her. But I walked further into. the house till our eyes met.The stare she gave me was something I couldn't forget as it made me feel so disgusted but who really cares anymore.With a smile on my face, I said, "Good day Mrs Blaze," "Oh! Christine, how are you doing," Mrs Blaze responded."I'm very well," I spoke."Please have your seat and join us in the conversation," she o
Chapter 89 ~ Dante's POV========On my way to my room, I was in awe to see Valerie in my parent's house, but at the same time, I was delighted because I would get to see her anytime and day I wanted to.I decided not to go to her yet, as he reaction as she saw me, made me realize she couldn't stand my presence.Because of our last meet up.I know I was a fool for asking her such insensitive questions when I should have trusted her despite how much anger she harbors towards me.I have to make it up to her, though she would reject anything I try to do for her but giving it a trial wouldn't hurt either.Finally, I got to my room and brought out my phone as I dialed Raymond's number because he was the only one I could trust at this point to help me out.The phone began ringing as the call tried connecting.After some minutes of its rings, it finally got connected."Hello Raymond," I began."Hey dude, what's up?" He greeted in response."I haven't heard from you ever since you left for Va
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 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
