Chapter 57 ~ Valerie's POV==========Slamming the door at him was something I least expected, I will ever do but oops it happened.Quickly I released the guilt from my body as I took my phone to call the doctor and explain my plight.The phone began ringing and unfortunately, he didn't respond to the call.I just decided to take that time to rest and presumably, I would suddenly figure out how Dante could leave my life by the time I woke up, Heh, I hate my life.A few weeks later, I started to get the hang of my conscience and realization of my pregnancy, my health faired better than last week, and trust me, I am getting the hang of it.My only problem is Dante, Arrgh, I just can't continue standing him, and the sad news is that I can't even face him to say everything I want.So, I'd just keep following the quietness trend, and eventually, we would pass this relationship-ish drama.Scoffs, I feel so ashamed to even tell my unborn child that his father played his mama. It's so uncalle
Chapter 58 ~ Valerie's POV=========="Dante," Raymond called out, as I looked behind me instantly finding out the voice was Dante's."So this is why you were acting somehow to me," He said, concluding upon what he saw."What are you doing here Dante," I asked him."What am I doing here? Are you seriously asking me that question right now?" Dante inquired as his facial expression was showing hurt but trust me I am not affected by it."I am having dinner with my friend, that's all I am doing here," I answered him with a firm look."I thought my eyes were deceitful when I saw both of you enter his car in front of your house but I wasn't," He opened up, which made me realize that the black car I saw earlier was indeed his, gosh, my guts are always right.Chiming in Raymond uttered, "But Dante we are not doing anything wrong here, it's just two people having dinner here with no strings attached,"Beating the table with my hands, as I was already infuriated by Dante's attitude, I stated, "
Chapter 59 ~ Valerie's POV========Some days after my resignation letter hullabaloo, I continued working in Blaze publishing company as my choices of leaving were limited this time, only because I value my reputation in the presence of Dante's father.One morning, while I was working in my office with so much tranquility involved. Suddenly, my door opened widely as I saw Dante barge into my office."Couldn't you knock?" I blurted out in annoyance."This is my company and I can enter wherever I want without anyone's permission," He clarified lacing it with brags."Rich brat," I murmured silently to myself."What did you say?" He questioned, I think he heard, but who cares?"Why are you in my office Dante?" I asked him with a straight face.''Get ready we are both going on a business trip," he announced."Business trip? Isn't there anyone else you could go with?" I said to him, trying to dodge his attempts to make to go with him."There is, but I want you to come with me, are you ques
Chapter 60 ~Dante's POV ========Why does she always make everything between us get intensified for no reason, but I had to plead with her to allow this work."Please, Valerie, just say yes, I'll stay as far away from you as possible," I assured her, backing it up with a plea.She still insisted on standing on her negative response. I felt frustrated with her behavior but I remained calm.Then I asked the receptionist, "Is there any alternative available?""No there isn't sir, I'm sorry," she responded.Suddenly, I heard her voice, "Alright, fine, I'd share a suite with you," she finally said.Hearing this I took a deep breath, "Thank you," I appreciated.And on that note, the receptionist gave me the card to open the room."The hotel attendants will help you with your luggage," She said."Enjoy your stay sir and ma," She continued as her smile ended her words.So I turned to my driver as I voiced out to him, "You can leave now, we can sort ourselves from here thank you," "Take care
Chapter 61~ Valerie's POV============Dante and I got to our booked suite, as a sudden awkwardness full of stillness rose between us.It didn't bother me because I had nothing to say to him.Eventually, Dante voiced out breaking the quietness, "Should we go grab a drink at the bar section?" He asked.I quipped hearing the word drink, as I knew taking them would affect my unborn child."I don't take alcoholic drinks anymore," I responded."Heh, when did you get so...... Uptight?" he asked, with a sneer beneath his utterance."It's nothing for you to involve yourself in," I quickly spoke out in defense of my secret."Okay...., Can we just leave this room to the bar section of the hotel, I think I need some drink, and of course you can take anything of your preference," Dante requested.I wanted to turn down his offer, but I needed to have some juice also, so I quickly responded, "Okay, let's go,"Then we left the suite we were in and walked our way to where the bar section was located.
Chapter 62 - Valerie's POV============I woke up the following day, thinking it was all a bad dream hoping to see Dante next to me.But it wasn't, that bastard got me played yet again, so I stood up from the bed, and I reminded myself that he was still my boss and I worked for him but once these meetings were over and we turned to Seattle, I'll find a solution to all these created messes.So I got dressed early and walked out to the lobby, hoping to see Dante there, and thankfully he was there.I didn't want to see him, but yet again I am stuck with no choice but to see his face.Nearing where he was seated, as he was pressing his phone, I cleared my throat as I said to him, "Are there meetings we have to attend?" throwing out my question to him with a sneer look on my face."There is, but we need to be patient," he responded to me in a calm tone.Then I moved to the other side of where he seated, very far away from him, to have my seat, so I could join him in wait.Momentarily, I he
Chapter 63 ~ Dante's POV=============Turning back, when I heard my name, I kept trying to eye search who was calling out my name but I found no one.Then I returned to my initial position at the checkpoint, salivating upon my worst nightmare, seeing Valerie getting cozy with Raymond.Curse Christine for telling her about my initial pretense towards her but I wish, she could see how much I have changed because of her and how much I am deep in love with her.Even with the female voice that called out my name, I could see an unsurprised expression visibly shown on her face, meaning that she had no hope of not getting surprised by me.How I wish she could make me rectify all my errors and quit accepting help from Raymond, Argh, it pisses me off whenever she does it.Finally, we got checked in successfully and boarded the flight.Throughout the entire journey, Valerie didn't utter a single word to me but poured each of her jokes out to Raymond.Gosh, I was so jealous seeing them together
Chapter 64 ~ Valerie's POV=======After a long drive, from the airport, the taxi finally reached my apartment, and I extended my gratitude to Raymond for being a great help to me.Then I said my goodbyes to him, as I got out of the car and watched the taxi get driven away.Soon I entered my apartment, and surprisingly, I met my mother who was cozy with a strange man.This triggered my exclamation, "Mom!" I shouted.She was embarrassed upon seeing this, as she stood up in a rush, settling into her normal composure."Darling, you are here?" She said while keeping her balance."Mom, who is this?" I questioned her, demanding an answer.Clearing her throat, she began, "Sweetie,""Meet Desmond, my boyfriend, and Desmond meet my daughter, Valerie," She introduced."Oh my goodness, Mom," I uttered as laughter followed it.She looked embarrassed, and so did Desmond as he uttered suddenly, "I think should leave," and instantly he took his jacket from the couch, and brushed my mother's lips wit
