CHAPTER 36VALERIE'S POV"What do you want?" I asked, loud enough for the stalker guy to hear me.He didn't reply and quickly turned to the other aisle, trying to get away from us."I'm going to follow him," I say to Pat."I don't think that's a good Idea" she replied worriedly.I ignored her words and quickly ran towards the direction the man went too. Loud sound from my hurried steps resonating. luckily I saw the weird guy immediately."You were the one watching the other day right? what do you want?" I asked again.He halted his quick steps and turned to look at me."Are you one of Stephano's rivals?" I asked, I knew if he actually was then talking to him like this could be very risky for me. But to my advantage we were in public so I doubt he would do anything here."No I'm not, I'm not here to hurt you" he replied curtly."Then who are you! Why are you stalking me?" I asked in annoyance."I'm just doing my job," he responded."Someone is paying you to watch me?" I asked in shock.
CHAPTER 37VALERIE'S POVStephano's eyes made contact with mine and eyes moved further down, slowly checking me out from up to down. He's eyes with clear lust in them, making his desire for me obvious.Incredibly flustered, I rushed for my towel so I could cover myself up. By now my face was already completely red in embarrassment, the intensity his eyes held was doing a good job in making me ten times more flustered."Don't cover yourself from me" He ordered, his voice deep and portraying his dominance in the perfect way possible. Effortlessly making me weak on my knees.He brought his fingers to my face and his thumb slowly caressed my face."I want you" he's husky voice.I knew then I wasn't going to hold back, I wanted him just as much as he did. The sexual tension between us was intense and it was no surprise that it was going to overwhelm us soon.We both watched as his finger left my mouth and trailed its way down to my stomach between my thighs. He smoothed a finger over my nip
CHAPTER 38VALERIE'S POVMy eyes flutter open, blinded by its bright sunlight I shut it back almost immediately. I turned sideways, facing Stephano just to see him already looking at me."Good morning" I said shyly, memories of last night still playing repeatedly in my head."Happy birthday darling" he says, slowly brushing the stray hair strands on my cheeks."What-" I sputtered in shock.How did he know it was my birthday? I didn't tell him because I didn't want to make a big deal about it, I also didn't think he would give two fucks about my birthday."You didn't think I wouldn't know about such an important day in my wife's life" he asked, while smirking.Of course he had done a background check on me, that explains why he was aware."Thank you" I muttered shyly."What do you want to do for your birthday?" he asked, staring at me intensely."Nothing much, probably just hang out with Gabe and have a much needed talk with my mom" I replied.I honestly had no plans for my birthday, I
CHAPTER 39VALERIE'S POV"What the hell is this Gabe?!" I exclaimed in shock."A gift" he replied, making a goofy face."why do fuck would you get me a lingerie??" I asked quizzically."To get you to finally have sex with your sexy hubby" he replied cheekly."And who said I haven't?" I smirked."Wait actually?" he asked in shock."I was really just joking about the lingerie thing and having sex with Stephano, I guess my plan to piss you off failed now" he grumbled."But for real! no wonder you look like you were suddenly glowing!!! must be nice banging such a beautiful specimen" he gushed."Can you stop?" I grumbled."Umm no! My baby is finally growing up. Gosh we need to celebrate this. let me get some wine!" he exclaimed."Stop it. I'm going to be meeting up with my mom later on so drinking might not be the best idea for now"."Sorry?" he asked in confusion."Since when did you suddenly start visiting your mom? last I checked you guys don't have any sort of relationship. How nice to
CHAPTER 40VALERIE'S POV."I gotta go now" I said to Gabe after reading my mom's text message."Okay, byee" he replied, walking me to the door."See you tomorrow… or whenever" I replied.I fixed myself to make myself look more presentable and exit his room. After stepping out of the elevator into the lobby, I quickly find my mom seated at one of the chairs in the lobby.She glanced up, noticing my presence when I got closer to her."Happy birthday darling" she said immediately she saw me.That came as a shock to me because I had no idea she would remember such detail. Yes she was my mother… but a mother that was never around until now."thank you" I replied, covering my shock carefully."Let's go, Do you mind us going to a nearby restaurant?" she asked."I don't mind," I replied curtly.We both silently walked out of the apartment building, I followed her directions to the place she parked her car."I got you something" she said, after we were both seated at the back seat of her car. S
CHAPTER 41VALERIE'S POV"Hey wifey" I heard Stephano's voice from behind me, his beautifully scented cologne welcoming me.With a smile on my face I turned to look at him.Damn! He is hot as hell!"Hi," I replied shyly.He leaned down and placed a soft kiss on my forehead, taking the empty seat beside us."Your mom?" he asked, gesturing to my mom sitting opposite me."Yes, Mom, meet Stephano, my husband," I introduced him."Nice to meet you" she said brightly, a friendly expression on her face."Likewise" he muttered, a blank look on his face.I forgot how cold Stephano could be…They have a small talk with each other, learning just enough basic information to know about each other. Stephano didn't really seem interested but just kept answering my mom's questions so he wouldn't come off as being rude."Do you mind if I steal Val away now?" he asked.I knew from his expression I was going with him either ways and was just asking my mom for formalities "Sure go ahead, we are already d
CHAPTER 43VALERIE'S POV"I want to be inside you" his husky voice whispered."Too bad we have somewhere else to be" he muttered."What? Is there still something else planned? it's already late though" I said in confusion."It doesn't matter, we are going to be meeting your grandparents. A birthday dinner was arranged for you, I hope it's something you'll like" he said."Of course I like that! I love it actually! I missed them so freaking much" I exclaimed."I'm glad," he replied, smiling.The ride on the ferris wheel had finally come to an end. We spent some more time getting on many other rides available and me especially, stuffing my face with all the sweet junks present at the park. By the time we were leaving the park I was grinning from ear to ear, happiness surging through me."This day was awesome!! Best birthday ever" I said happily, a goofy smile on my face."Surprisingly I had fun too, I don't get time to do stuff like this but it was quite worth the time" Stephano replied,
CHAPTER 44"What are you doing here?" her high pitched voice asked."I should be asking you that!" I deadpanned.My mouth drops in shock as I notice the male figure behind her.What the fuck was he doing here?!?"Dad, why is this girl here?" the blonde girl asked.What the actual fuck! Did Cherry just called that man father? That 'man' was my ever dearest father who was never there throughout my childhood."Grandma!!! what is happening?!" I shouted so they could hear me in the dinner room.I was beyond confused at this point and most definitely didn't want to let either of the guests in."Valerie, stop standing in the only space between the door and the wall, stop being rude and invite the guest in," my grandma scolded."What are they doing here?" I asked, making way for them to come in."Good question actually, I don't seem to understand why this girl is intruding… I thought this was just a family dinner for my birthday?" Cherry muttered, an annoyed expression on her face.What was
