Sasha’s POV~

“Mr. Rex, why do your competitors go missing?”

A man from the crowd yelled and Valentino acted like he had an important call and picked up his phone as he walked off the podium.

I watched as some of the guards came over to the man who had made the remark about Valentino's competitors going missing and led him out of the hall.

I took a glance at him and noticed he was the same journalist who had taken a beating earlier on. I tried to reason out why some people could choose to undertake a profession that puts them at the forefront of risk.

I watched as he tried to speak out but was dazed and taken out unconscious to only God knows where.

As much as I was not in complete agreement as to how Valentino ran his business, I wasn't going to mince my words in a room I wasn't invited into.

He couldn't even read the mood in the room before playing superhero, now he wouldn't even be remembered as a hero in the least way.

    Valentino's POVI heard the sounds as she pulled the trigger, one, two, three, and four bullets were shot each following the other.“She finally did, she's matured into a fine woman, the time that I like,” I said to myself as I relished in the pleasure of having Sasha send her father's murderer to the other side of life. Sasha's dad had been one of my most trusted soldiers, he had served me incredulously until one day.He had met a lady who wasn't Sasha's mum and her lifestyle drove him on a downward spiral. It was when he began revolving his life around this strange woman he had gotten into the habit of gambling and getting hooked on drugs.

    Sasha's POVMy heart was in my mouth as I was seated face to face with death.This was the height of being Mrs. Valentino Rex. I was now used as a specimen in a dicey game and a man's life was the settling score.“I'm going to jail,” I screamed at Valentino as he stood there impassively.Valentino didn't seem to act like anything had just happened. He was like a doctor who had seen too many deaths in the hospital ward and wasn't moved any longer by deaths. “Say something. Don't just stand there looking at me this way,” I said, screaming at his face.Valentino responded to me in the most awkward manner I could imagine. He simply clapped his hands saying, “Bravo, nice shot you got there. Just a little more polishing and you'll be fine.”I was shocked as to how he responded to me. This man was a psycho. I married a man and now I will go to jail for my wrong decisions.“This wouldn't go down well. This won't end fine,” I muttered to myself. A little audible but not loud enough for someo

    Xena's POV"That young man has eaten more than he can chew. It's time we taught him a lesson."I stood with my hands crossed together as I tapped my leg on the ground, facing my husband and making my remarks to him.I had told him about the words of Valentino Rex, who had made a clear threat at the destruction of the Britannia family, also known by their triad name "Satoshi Family."My husband, Chris, blinked his eyes as he pulled off his glasses and looked at me cautiously, as though taking off his glasses would make him hear me.I noticed the change in his gaze and how he looked pissed.While I remained quiet, the adopted son of the family, Dave, stood up and pointed at me as he said, "Why are you all bothered about that wrench, Valentino? Was it not Belinda who exposed our family to him by stooping so low to date that thing? Besides, she's the one who caused the ruckus last night. Don't—"As Dave wanted to make his next statement, I heard a loud sound and turned to see what was hap

    Sasha's POVToday was Dragon Corporation’s annual board meeting and I was supposed to attend it on my first day at work.I didn’t want to look too exotic, so I grabbed a simple white shirt, a brown skirt, and a simple shoe and put them on. I always wanted to be that humble boss who didn’t tramble on their subordinates and so I decided to look like one. It’s that kind of Steve Jobs feel I wanted to have on me. Also, I wouldn’t move along with any guards today so I could be super humble and down to earth. Well, let’s see how that pans out today. I stepped out of my room, walked down the stairs, attended to the greetings that were directed toward me, and walked forward without a dent of doubt that indeed today would be a fabulous day.I drove to the company early in the morning. As soon as I stopped and was ready to enter the building, the security guard stopped me."I'm sorry, Sasha. There's an order. You can't go in!""This company belongs to my husband and I have every right to go

I was only made head of the next subsidiary under Dragon Corporation which was Rex Corp., and here is what I am facing. Everyone was at a loss for words, shocked that I had brought Valentino to help.In the market, Valentino is omnipotent!All the shareholders and directors felt a kind of shuddering fear facing this young business tycoon, and now he stood in front of them, protecting the woman they ridiculed!Several directors and shareholders all smiled at Valentino."How did Valentino come to Rex Corp? He’s not been here in five years," someone asked, forcing a smile."Hey, you, yes, you right there? Why do you all act like you own Rex Corp?" Valentino looked coldly at the shareholders and directors."Well, we all have shares," they said in a chorused manner."Yes, you have shares, but Sasha seems to have more shares than you.

    Sasha’s POV"Yes, thank you," I said, bowing my head and repeating my gratitude.When the porridge was served, I focused on eating it.Valentino advised me on several things to be mindful of, emphasizing that I shouldn't appear weak in the company. He suggested I adopt a more professional look, mentioning that black clothes convey strength."High heels are a woman's weapon. If you go to the company in casual clothes and flat shoes, you'll naturally be looked down upon. Even if you don't feel like a strong woman inside, at least make yourself look like one. Your appearance can intimidate people first," he kept advising.I listened carefully while drinking the porridge."I remember everything. I'll buy the right clothes tomorrow," I said.Valentino nodded."Well, I don't know much about the company. What should I do when I go there tomorrow?" I asked, looking at him for guidance.I felt clueless, like an idiot. I didn't know what to do once I was at the company."Set up your chairman'

    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

    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
