VALERIE'S POVI walked back upstairs, admiring the familiar place… my home.I kicked the bedroom door open and rushed inside excitedly so eager to lay on the bed. I sighed happily as my body made contact with the soft texture of the bed. It was way more comfortable than the one in Nidha's home. I drift far into sleep just as quickly."Valerie!! wake up already" I heard a faint voice say, muffled by my pillow."mph" I groaned tiredly."Wake up, ugh!" the voice repeated.I forced my eyes open to see Gabe looking at me with an annoyed expression with Pat standing quietly beside him."Why are you bothering me?" I asked while getting up and stretching my arms. I definitely felt more energized than before. "you have a party to get ready for, remember?" Gabe said sarcastically. "Now get up, Pat's going to transform you into a literal goddess," Gabe said with an excited grin."Really? I didn't know you were good at makeovers" I said, my statement directed at Pat."That's my secret specialty
STEPHANO'S POV"What the fuck!!" I yelled angrily, stopping Fred just in time before his lips touched Valerie's own.I watched as the color in Fred's face drained completely as he stared at me in shock."What do you think you're doing?" I asked looking at the both of them, Valerie looked clueless about what was happening and just kept glancing at Fred and I repeatedly like she was confused."I'm tired" she grumbled and took a seat at the kitchen stool and laid her head on the counter."Valerie" I called softly but received no reply except for the soft sounds of her breathing."Val?" I said one more time, I took a closer look at her to see she was already sleeping. Oh well…"You!" I said directed at Fred, my tone grave and angry."I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. I had way too much alcohol and didn't know what I was doing… I thought she was just some random girl until I saw your walk in angrily I immediately became sober. I swear Boss I would never have thought of touching your girl, this wa
VALERIE'S POVI stared in disbelief as Stephano drove out of the mansion. The last time I was visiting his parents didn't turn out so well so I was definitely not excited to be back there again. But it wasn't like I had a choice on this and I didn't want to piss Stephano even more so I stormed back inside the mansion."Where are you going Valerie?" Pat asked worriedly, stopping me from climbing the stairs."To my room" I replied curtly."Are you sure you want to skip breakfast?" she asked.My stomach growled loudly as I heard her say breakfast making her smirk in return."Of course I wouldn't be skipping that" I replied, retracing my steps back to the dining room."Just like I thought, '' she said proudly and followed behind me to the dining room.I took my seat behind the beautiful delicacy placed in front of me. it looked so delicious my mouth watered at its sight. I immediately started munching on my food, not caring if I looked like I had been starved for years. Technically it was
VALERIE'S POV"What is he doing here?" I whispered to Stephano."Ignore him" he whispered back, and pushed out a chair for me to sit down."Did you know about this?" I asked, still whispering. Stephano was now sitting beside me and we were directly opposite Derek and his son Richard, Stephano rivals who were somehow in the good books of his father."Of course not, but it's better not to cause a scene here" he whispered back and leaned away from me signaling the end of our conversation."Finally you guys stopped your private conversation" he's stepmom groaned."Why are we even here?" Stephano asked, his question directed to his father."To have a get together of course, you need to bond with my new friends and quit this rival nonsense" His father demanded."How about we don't even bother going there, you know this would be another fruitless conversation… Father" Stephano replied, his last word filled with so much spite."I guess Stephano never really grew up to welcome changes" Richar
VALERIE'S POVI know my decision to abruptly was silly but I didn't mind one bit, it was far better than sitting together with my kidnapper and Stephano's stepmom who for unknown reason resents me. My mind was clouded with multiple thoughts at the moment and I was trying my best to erase unwanted thoughts from my mind while I focused on driving.As I drove down the highway, I started to feel anxious since I had no idea where I was going to in this foreign city. I was already far away from Stephano's parents house so there was no turning back, not like I'd consider it either way. I decided it would be best to just check the maps on my phone so I don't get lost. I took my eyes off the road for just a few seconds, but that was all it took. When I looked up, I saw the car in front of me had suddenly stopped. In shock and head filled with incoherent thoughts, I swerved into the next lane and collided with another car.The impact was so strong that my car spun out of control and hit the med
PAT'S POVI was incredibly anxious and concerned for Pat who was involved in yet another accident. I was constantly checking my phone for updates and news about Valerie's condition. My face was tense with worry and eyes were filled with tears as I imagined the worst-case scenario. When Gabe had informed me of what happened to Valerie, I was in shock and couldn't help wondering if there was anything I could have done to prevent it. Despite my own fears and worries, I knew there wasn't really anything I could have done.I was now sitting anxiously awaiting Valerie's arrival, together with Gabe and Valerie's grandparents. Her mom and dad weren't present at the hospital and I was pretty certain no one had bothered to inform them. Valerie wouldn't have liked them being here anyways."OMG!" Valerie's grandmother exclaimed, drawing my attention back to the present.I was shocked to see Valerie had already arrived together with Stephano, she was taken to the vip section in the hospital.The V
VALERIE'S POV"My baby?" I asked in shock, I was confused about what was going on."Yeah what do you mean by that?" Stephano asked, the shock evident in his eyes."You guys weren't already aware of this?" the doctor asked, still confused also."Your wife here is three weeks pregnant" The doctor revealed.I stared at him very speechless, I was definitely not expecting to be pregnant so this came as a surprise to me. So I was going to be a mother soon… Why does it seem so scary?"Oh my God!! that's wonderful!!" my grandma squealed excitedly."Yeah!!! if it's a boy definitely make me his godfather okay? oh my gosh I can't wait to see little you running around" Gabe gushed excitedly.Why do they look even more excited than I was? although it wasn't like I wasn't happy about it, it's just that I was still in shock and had no idea how to react to this. I looked over at Stephano to see his reaction, surprisingly he looked so calm and seemed like he welcomed the idea of me being pregnant."I
VALERIE'S POV"Don't worry, come in," Stephano replied, smirking at me mischievously.I looked away from him, knowing fully well that my face would be red like a ripe tomato by now.Oh fuck…"Umm… I just wanted to inform you guys that Valerie would be okay to go home at the moment, she would be fine as long as she doesn't do any tedious task and get some rest for a decent amount of time" the nurse instructed."Got it, I'll make sure she gets enough rest her body needs" Stephano replied.With that, the nurse excused herself and exited the room. Immediately the door closes, it opens up again just as quickly to reveal my grandparents, Gabe and Pat."We would be going home now sweetie, would you be alright?" my grandma asked worriedly."Of course ma, don't worry about me. It's already really late and I'll feel more at ease if you are at the comfort of our home, I don't want you stressing out" I replied.She bends down and pulls me into a gentle hug, careful not to cause any pain to me."G
