Sasha’s POVValentino and I started following each other and changed our introductions, which fans discovered almost immediately.It was less than a few minutes after we updated our profiles when someone noticed on Instagram.And then, everyone went wild.“Oh my God, Valentino and Sasha are following each other!”“Seriously? Did they just change their introductions to Mr. Valentino Rex and Mrs. Valentino Rex? They’re clearly showing they’re husband and wife!”“Sasha, goddess, post some photos!”“Valentino, we need a group photo!”“I haven’t seen their wedding photos. They look so good together. Their wedding photos must be amazing!”“Wedding photos, wedding photos!”“Yes, we need those wedding photos!”I frowned as I read through the comments. I turned to Valentino and said, “Look at this. Now everyone’s asking for our wedding photos. Where are we supposed to get wedding photos?”“I didn’t suggest it. Can I take a picture?” Valentino said casually.—----Valentino’s POVAs I thought a
Kourtney’s POVI drove away, feeling angry.I took off the black bag from my head and looked around. It was dark, and I was scared.I didn’t have a phone. I had been at home, about to take a bath, when I was kidnapped. I never thought I’d end up in this situation.Thinking about it made me even more afraid.At least I didn’t die. I really thought I might not make it.“Is anyone there?” I shouted nervously as I got up from the ground.But it was late, and this place was so remote. No one was around. I started walking slowly towards home.I clenched my fists tightly, causing pain in my palms.It had to be Sasha.No one else would do this.Sasha, you’ve taken so much from me. You dare to get back at me? Do you think I’ll just accept it?“Sasha, I’m going to get you.”Thinking about how I wet myself in front of everyone made me feel even more embarrassed.Peed myself in front of others. How awful if anyone found out.No, it won’t get out. I won’t tell anyone. Even if rumors spread, I’ll p
Sasha’s POV“Here, you can eat anything. You’re my wife. Are you afraid of not having enough to eat? Are you out of money now?” Valentino asked.He looked at me and remembered that I had received a hundred million dollars from Kourtney. For me, a hundred million should be a lot of money. How could I not have money to spend and be reluctant to eat breakfast?“No,” I looked up at Valentino. “It’s not that I have no money to spend, but I want to save a little! If I can save, I’ll have more money.”This way, I can eventually get back the company Sandra took away.Of course, I won’t tell Valentino that.He’s so close to Sandra and loves her. There’s no way he’d support me taking away the company she holds.It’s a secret in my heart.“Is that how much you like money?” Valentino looked at me with a glint in his eye and a smirk on his face.“Nonsense, who doesn’t like money? Everyone likes money. Money is better than anything!” I said excitedly. “With money, you can buy whatever you want! How
Sasha’s POV"Oh no, it's almost over. There's only a minute left!" I panicked when I realized how late it was. Grabbing my things, I bolted towards the set without saying a word.Thankfully, the crew wasn’t far away.I made it just in time.At a glance, I noticed the director hadn’t arrived yet. I let out a breath of relief.After changing into my costume and getting my makeup done, I stepped out just as the director arrived."Good morning, director," I greeted him.He looked me up and down, then nodded approvingly. "You’ve changed and gotten your makeup done? Good. We can start shooting right away.""Yes," I replied with a smile. "Just waiting for your order!""Kourtney, didn’t you just say she was late? Well, looks like you were wrong." The director glanced back at Kourtney, who stood nearby.Kourtney had just complained about me, but here I was, on time and made up better than her.“How did you get here? You shouldn’t have made it!” Kourtney stared at me, clearly shocked."You knew
Sasha’s POVI hurried over to Fred’s side.Fred had this strong presence about him. Even though people admired him as the movie king, they were too intimidated to approach him. So, he always had plenty of space to himself, and no one really bothered him.His spot was the coziest place on set.I naturally sat down on the big reclining chair next to him, which he had set up just for me. No one else could sit here but me."Isn’t Kourtney super annoying?" I leaned in and whispered into Fred’s ear."Totally," he nodded, looking a bit disgusted."She’s always looking for trouble. I honestly have no idea what I did to her. I haven’t wronged her in any way," I shrugged. "I don’t want to work with her again after this. It’s just too much drama.""Then I’ll make sure we’re in the same crew next time. I love acting with you," Fred said with a smile."I enjoy acting with you too. It’s so much easier. Acting with Kourtney is frustrating. She’s not even that good," I said, rolling my eyes.For some
Sasha’s POVValentino made two quick phone calls.A few minutes later, several cars and traffic police showed up. They were very polite to Valentino."Valentino, what can we do for you?" One of them asked."My wife’s car is blocked in. How is she supposed to leave? These people parked their cars like this. Shouldn’t they be towed and fined?" Valentino said sharply."Yes, absolutely!"The team got to work, and soon enough, the tow trucks hauled away all the cars surrounding mine.In no time, my car was the only one left."Finally, I can leave!" I said, feeling relieved."But you’re not driving today. Come with me. I want to take you somewhere," Valentino said, sounding mysterious."Where are we going?" I asked, a little curious about what he had in mind."It’s a good place. You’ll like it," he replied."So secretive, huh?" I said, raising an eyebrow at him."Get in the car. You’ll find out soon enough. Take a guess if you want," Valentino said as he opened the door for me.I shrugged a
Sasha’s POV"As long as you have time, I’ll make time. Do you like this option? Why don’t you just go with this package?" Valentino looked at me, waiting for my answer.I nodded, "Sure, let's go with that."Valentino talked with the staff while they turned to me and asked what kind of wedding dress I wanted to pick."Can I choose my wedding dress now?" I asked, feeling a sudden spark of excitement."Yes, you can pick one now," the staff replied."Do you want to see the dresses now? If you don’t like any, I can have one custom-made for you," Valentino said, his voice gentle and thoughtful."Let’s take a look first."The staff led me into the back room where the wedding dresses were displayed.There were so many dresses, all of them beautiful and dreamy.Each dress caught my eye. I loved them all, and I could already picture myself trying them on.After looking for a while, one dress stood out. It had a long train, a big, flowing skirt, and it was covered in stunning crystals. It was br
Sasha’s POVMy mouth was full of food, and my bowl was mostly packed with meat.I might look small and thin, but when it comes to eating, I don’t hold back.Valentino watched me, and there was this look in his eyes, like he cared about me, though he probably didn’t realize it.Watching me eat seemed to make him happy, and his mood improved just by looking at me.“Good, right?” he asked.“So good, so good!” I said, feeling excited.But then, I ate too fast and burned my mouth. I winced from the pain.“You okay?” Valentino asked, quickly standing up. He moved closer to me, pressing me to check where I had burned myself.“I’m fine, really, just a little hot,” I hurried to explain, waving my hand. “You should eat too, don’t worry about me!”“No, let me check,” he insisted. He held me still and squatted down, looking at my mouth. The corner of my lips was red from the burn, but it didn’t seem too bad.As he stared at my lips, something changed in his expression, and suddenly, he kissed me.
Valentino’s POV I promised if I found Sasha, I was going to make her my wife. This time for real and no longer would she be a placeholder. “Arrgh,” I screamed as Jared let me in on Sasha being kidnapped by that fool, Dave Martin. I had beaten him to a bulb and had him leave her alone. After all these years, all these moments, he had been lurking, laying siege to Sasha, and I..I foolishly let her leave into harm’s way. Sasha was a beautiful bird and a lot of predators were circling her, trying to take advantage of her. “Get me Dave on the line, Jared,” my voice hurried as I threw my fists in the air. “Dave Partner boss?” Jared questioned. I didn’t know if to smack his face or to laugh this over with but there were no jokes tonight. Only thing on my mind was getting Sasha back, here with me, whole and as my real wife. “Fuck it Jared, I’m talking about Dave Martin, get him on the line now. Didn’t you just tell me he’s the one who’s got Sasha and you're talking some gibberish.”
Sasha’s POV “Let me go…please..let..me..g…” I had a wood plank on my head and I lost consciousness. It was at this moment I wished I had not run away from Valentino. Problems seemed to follow me each time I was away from him. He was a refuge and a strong fortress for me and this time, more than ever, I hoped he’d found me. I felt a weight over my body as I slowly gained consciousness. Studying the environment, I opened my right eye slowly, as it hurt so much, and my head hurt so much to open even my very own eyes. I was tied up in a chair and I couldn’t tell where exactly I was but it didn’t seem like a warehouse. I could tell this was someone’s house but couldn’t tell who exactly it was. “I am blindfolded so how do I even know where this is,” I uttered under my breath. Maybe I should scream and some passer-by could come to my rescue or call the police and I could get out of here. I didn’t want any of those men who must have brought me here to find me here. They were damn mea
Sasha’s POV “What was that?” I yelled, my voice shaking with frustration. I couldn’t believe Emilia had let me down like this. She was the only one I had trusted with my secret, the only person who knew exactly where I was. I had begged her not to tell anyone until I was far away, safe in Spain. And now, it felt like everything was crashing down around me. I felt this deep pain in my chest like someone was pressing down on me with the weight of a thousand boulders. Everything I loved had been ripped away from me. My family was gone, my company had been stolen from me, and even Valentino—my Valentino—was no longer by my side. There was nothing left for me here. Nothing. But when I heard Valentino’s voice over the phone, it did something to me. It was like a tiny spark in a room full of darkness. My heart, which had felt so cold and broken, suddenly stirred with the smallest flicker of life. “I can’t do this anymore,” I whispered, talking to no one but myself. “I can’t stay here.
Valentino's POV I grab Emilia’s phone and frantically try to call Sasha, but I can’t get through. Frustrated, I look at Emilia coldly and ask, "Do you know where she is? What do you know about her?" "I... I don’t know," Emilia says, frowning. "Sasha is being super careful this time. She didn’t tell me where she’s staying. She said you might come looking for her through me, so she didn’t want to risk it because she thinks I can't keep a secret." Emilia pouts, looking all upset. "But it's late. Maybe she's already asleep, so not picking up isn’t that weird." Jared turns to me. "What about tomorrow?" I frown, thinking it over for a second. "Track her number. Find out where Sasha is," I say, determined. "Alright, I’ll get someone to track her phone and find her," Jared replies, nodding. Emilia just watches us, looking a little confused. She pouts again, like she’s thinking something over, but doesn’t say anything after a while. Finally, she shrugs. "You guys do your thing. I’m
Sasha's POV Fred and I are really funny after we drink too much. We keep guessing things and playing games, and we hold each other a lot.Gabriel looks annoyed as he tries to separate us, not wanting us to keep holding on to each other."Enough already! Stop it!" Gabriel frowns and says, "You’re both drunk.""We're not drunk!""Yeah, you’re the one who's drunk!" We both stare at him for a moment and then start laughing.Gabriel looks frustrated as he watches us, knowing he can’t change our minds.Luckily, Fred and I pass out after drinking. That gives Gabriel some time to clean up after us.Over the next two days, I talked with Gabriel and Fred about starting a film company in the United States.In the end, Gabriel agrees that Fred and I can work together to plan this film company.…Valentino's POV I keep searching for Sasha, but with Gabriel and Sandra causing problems for me, I haven’t heard from her at all.Jared comes to my house and tells me what he’s found during his search.
Valentino's POV Sasha disappeared, and for two days, I, Valentino, searched for her, but I couldn’t find her anywhere.Jared was looking everywhere too. He tried all kinds of things, but it felt like someone was always getting in the way. Many surveillance cameras had been hacked, and some videos were missing, so he couldn’t find Sasha directly.I was left with no choice but to use the simplest method: sending a lot of people to ask about Sasha’s whereabouts.All over the city, people were taking photos of Sasha, trying to find out where she was.But no one knew where she had gone.It was like she had vanished completely.I was losing my mind. I couldn’t believe Sasha had disappeared from my life, and I just couldn’t accept it.“It’s time for you to eat, sir,” one of the maids said, sounding worried about me. I had lost a lot of weight in just two days. “Even if you don’t eat, your wife might not show up. You should have a good meal. I don’t think she would want to see you like this.
Sasha's POV I looked at Gabriel like he was an idiot. "If I went to be a cook with this kind of skill, I'd probably get myself killed..."Seriously, who doesn’t know how to make hot pot? It’s just tossing everything into a pot to cook. When I was studying abroad and craved hot pot, I used to make it in my dorm all the time."Really? It all looks so delicious. You seem pretty talented. How could you get yourself killed? If anyone dares to mess with you, I'll take care of them first," Gabriel said, grabbing his chopsticks to sneak a taste.Once I finished setting the table, I told him, "Sit down and eat.""Alright," he replied.But just as Gabriel was about to sit, the doorbell rang."Who is it?" I asked, looking at him."I'll go check. Maybe it's some big star!" Gabriel joked as he ran to the door, chatting briefly with whoever was outside.From the sound of it, it seemed like more than one person had shown up. A little curious, I peeked out and saw a familiar face.Why is he here?I
Sasha's POV The maid stopped me as I was leaving and asked, "Where are you going, ma'am?"It seemed like she was confused about why I was leaving. Everyone always thought my husband and I were close, so this sudden departure must've seemed strange. Maybe they thought Sandra had some evil plan to push me out.The maids didn’t trust Sandra. They knew she wasn’t a good person, and it seemed like they wanted me to stay.I smiled at the maid and said, "I'm leaving. I'll see you later."I tried to walk out with my head held high, pretending everything was okay. But inside, I was breaking. I was sad, hurt, and didn’t want to leave at all.As I walked out, I could feel Sandra’s eyes on me. I knew she was smiling, satisfied with herself. With me gone, she probably thought she could hide better and make Valentino forget about me.The maids were glaring at Sandra, clearly not happy with her. But she didn’t care. She knew she would be the lady of the house soon and could treat them however she l
Valentino's POV I came back home, but I couldn’t sleep all night.Early the next morning, my phone rang. It was my grandfather telling me to come back to the old house.“I got it. I’ll be there soon,” I replied before hanging up.After changing into a fresh set of clothes, I went to Sasha’s room. She drank too much last night and stayed up late, so she was still fast asleep. Her sleeping posture was a bit messy, almost childlike, but she looked so cute.I tucked her in before heading downstairs.“My wife is still sleeping. When she wakes up, make sure to prepare some breakfast and soup to help with the hangover. If she’s not feeling well, call a doctor to check on her. I’m heading out.”“Yes, sir.”I drove off, leaving the maids to continue their work. I overheard them talking about yesterday and how drunk my wife had gotten.But one thing was clear—they knew I cared about her. They’d make sure she was well taken care of.I pulled up in front of the old house in my car. As I stepped
