Chapter 15~ Dante's POV===============After leaving the hospital with a burning rage inside me, I headed for my car and I stormed in a composed manner.Entering the car, I sat on the driver's seat and held on to the wheel, I looked confused as I began pondering on what I just experienced with Valerie."Is she possessed or what," I muttered to myself."Not that, I called her or anything, but should act grateful even if she doesn't feel grateful for all my help," I continued."If not my intentions for her, I know how to seek my revenge this instant, but slow and steady does it, surely she would come crawling back to seek my help," I ranted.With all my vented words in the car, I took a deep breath and drove off leaving the hospital.After some hours in the drive, I arrived at my parents' mansion, driving into the garage, I got out of the car, then I was greeted by one of the employees, who came to help me carry my bag. "Welcome home Mr blaze,"But I ignored him, as my anger towards Va
Chapter 16~ Valerie's POV===========After several hours in the office, I got done for the day, as I packed the files in my desk and headed out with my bag carried in my hand.Standing outside the company, I bid goodbye to my colleagues as I waited for a taxi to stop for me.Seconds turned into minutes and minutes into hours as no taxi stopped to carry me.I thought to myself, "Would I have to sleep outside tonight?" But as my deep thoughts were still on, suddenly I heard a screech from a car, the noise brought me back to the present as a loud voice followed it."Miss, are you going?" The man asked, bringing his head outside his car's window.Swiftly I responded, "Yes I am," running to where his car was parked.Reaching there I said before I entered, "Are you a taxi driver, or an Uber driver,"Due to my silly question the man gave stares in disgust as he responded, "Do I look like a philanthropist that would carry you for free? Are you entering the car or what,"As I noticed the gro
Chapter 17~ Valerie's POV=========On the following day, I got dressed as early as possible because the plans of seeing my mother last night were shifted due to the event that took place.So I left my apartment and waited outside as I had ordered an Uber before I stepped out, to enable me to meet up with my time at work.Swiftly, without standing for too long, my ride arrived as I hopped in without thinking twice. While I was in the car, I tried checking if the driver was a female or a male, and thanking my stars, a woman was my driver.Instantly I told her the name of the hospital I was going to and she started the car engine and drove off.After, some minutes into the drive, the driver, arrived at the hospital and I was so delighted that I tipped her an extra as she made my journey a pleasant one.And so, I turned my back to her as I headed into the hospital. As I entered, I checked in with the nurse as it was a protocol here to leave a signature for every visit to every patient t
Chapter 18~ Dante's POV============Seeing Valerie leave my office, I was shocked as I didn't expect her to apologize to me.So I got up from my seated position the moment she left, and I picked up my coffee mug which was placed on my desk as I turned to the transparent glass in my office which made me see the beautiful city of Seattle.Gently sipping my coffee, I began thinking of Valerie's words as laughter echoed out of my mouth, as I said, "Getting her now, should be easy, only if she is acting grateful," And with that, I returned to my seat with the coffee gently placed back on my desk, so I murmured silently to myself, "I should call her back, she is the one with an offense,"Then, I took the telephone receiver on my left ear as I pressed a number button dialing her official number so I could get connected to my office.Patiently waited for some time as the call was connecting, soon it got connected as I heard her "Hello,"Without being fussy I replied with a "Hello Miss Skye,
Chapter 19~ Dante's POV============Arriving at the designated location I was taking Valerie, I stopped the car and turned my look at her, I could see the creepy look on her face, as she asked, "Why are we in the woods?"Chuckling a little, I uttered, "Relax Valerie, not like I want to get you killed or anything,""Ha-ha-ha, a very funny joke," she said in a sarcastic tone.Realizing this, I swiftly stopped my tease as I took her hands into mine without seeking permission, but she didn't complain about it or act in a non-responsive manner, so I guess she is cool with it.Then I continued, "Come on Valerie, trust me on this, I promise you will enjoy the serenity I feel every time I come here,"Staring at me in the eyes, I guess, she saw the sincerity of my words in them, so she finally spoke, "Okay, I will risk it, trusting has to begin from somewhere,""Good, that's the spirit, so can we proceed?" I asked.Giggling, she responded, "Sure,"And so, we both came out of the car and heade
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
