Sasha's POVValentino held me close, and I looked up at him, pleading with my eyes.I couldn't shake the worry about Gabriel. If it hadn't been for him, that piece of metal could have seriously hurt me.My once clear face now had a few cuts, making me look more fragile.My bright eyes must have made it hard for anyone to say no to me.Valentino sighed and asked Jared to get a wheelchair, then he pushed me to Gabriel's room himself.Gabriel was in the next room over.As soon as we got close, I heard Gabriel shouting angrily, "What's going on with Sasha? Is she okay? I heard they were more worried about me than her!"His concern touched me deeply.Valentino pushed me into the room with a serious expression.Gabriel immediately calmed down when he saw me. He asked, "Sasha, how are you? Why are you in a wheelchair? Is something wrong with your legs?""I'm okay, just a few minor injuries, and my leg is fine!" I reassured him quickly, then asked, "How are you doing?""I'll be fine in a few
Sasha's POVValentino got rid of all the things the patients had sent, except for my personal belongings. He helped me pack up, and by the time we were done, Jared had already handled the discharge papers.Valentino drove me home, but instead of going to my place, we went back to his mansion.At the mansion, Valentino carried my things upstairs and put them in the guest room. Then he went downstairs to ask the servants to prepare lunch with my favorite foods.Watching him busy around the house, I suddenly felt a warm feeling inside."Valentino," I called out to him.Hearing his name, he frowned, "Call me something else.""Huh?" I was confused. "Sweetheart Val." Did he still want me to call him that? It felt a bit weird."No," he said, still frowning. "How do you call Gabriel?""Gabriel?" I replied, puzzled. "Do you want me to call you Gabriel? Do you think that’s a good name?"Valentino looked frustrated, "I really wonder how you run such a big company with that brain. It's a mirac
Sasha's POV“Order something you like,” Valentino said as he handed me the menu. “I’ll be right back; I need to go to the bathroom.”I nodded in response.Once Valentino left, I carefully studied the menu. I ended up ordering some of my favorite dishes, as well as some that I knew Valentino liked.I was surprised at how well I knew his preferences. It seemed like I’d unconsciously memorized what he liked and disliked.I gave a self-deprecating smile.Just then, a familiar voice said, “Sasha, long time no see.” I turned and saw a tall man in casual clothes standing next to me. His features were sharp, and he wore rimless glasses. He looked like he’d stepped out of a comic book—tall, slender, and handsome.It was Ronaldo.My heart skipped a beat.He seemed more composed and confident than before, with a calm demeanor.“Are you alone?” Ronaldo asked before I could say anything.I frowned and looked at him. First Margaret, now Ronaldo? I shook my head and said, “I’m with a friend. He w
Sasha's POVMargaret’s face was twisted with anger.She was already a mess, but now she looked even worse.She saw her dream lover, but he walked straight over to me and said I was his girlfriend.Ronaldo was stunned when he heard Valentino’s words.He looked at me.I didn’t say anything."This is my spot," Valentino said, standing next to Ronaldo."I’m sorry," Ronaldo said as he stood up and apologized to Valentino.Then he turned and walked away without looking at Margaret.Margaret got up alone, feeling the strange looks from everyone around her. She ran off.The dining room was silent.Everyone went back to their meals. Margaret had just made a fool of herself and then left."Thank you," I said, looking up at Valentino."Why don’t we have a more concrete contract marriage?" Valentino suddenly suggested."Ah?" I was shocked.Did I hear him right? A more concrete contract marriage?"Let’s change our previous contract and get married like for real," Valentino said. "I need a real wif
Sasha's POV I walked in to find Valentino sitting on the sofa with a tense expression. Even after hanging up the phone, his face still looked grim.I felt a bit upset.He was clearly bothered that I went to see Gabriel.“Sasha, I haven’t started cooking yet.” Rose said, looking at Valentino with a twitching mouth. She mentioned earlier that she’d prepare a full meal but hadn’t done anything yet.“You can cook now,” Valentino said coldly.If he hadn’t said that, I would have come back too late.“Alright, boss, I’ll get started,” Rose said, going to the kitchen to begin cooking.Not long after, I came back home.As soon as I walked in, I saw Rose busy in the kitchen. What Valentino said about Rose cooking a full meal didn’t seem to be happening. Rose hadn’t even started preparing a full spread.I looked at Valentino with suspicion.“Didn’t you say Rose had already prepared a meal?”“Rose said she would make a full meal for you,” Valentino replied with a stern face. Even sitting on the
Sasha's POVRexCorp has been getting a lot of attention in the industry because of the difference between Valentino and me.People think that RexCorp is on the rise. It’s impressive that I’m now a couple with Valentino.Many women envy me, and some are even upset that I took their dream man.The most envious is Margaret.In a rundown community, Margaret is looking at various rumors online in her small house. Almost all of them say that I, Sasha, I’m with Valentino from the Rex family.They’re saying we’re a perfect match.“What a match!” Margaret curses. “Sasha, I took your man once, and I could do it again. Why do you get everything? It’s so unfair! I hate you!”She presses her finger on her phone for a while.Soon after, Margaret starts using a fake account to post about me.She shares photos of me and distorts the story, claiming I stole other people’s boyfriends.She turns the truth around and hires people to boost her posts and attack me on social media.-“Chairman, something’s
Sasha's POV“With all your nonsense, everything you’re saying is false, and you can’t provide any evidence,” I said coldly on the phone.I didn’t even realize how much I had changed. I used to be a weak little rabbit, but now I feel like a cold-blooded tiger.My eyes felt like they were hunting, and my face was expressionless.It reminded me of Valentino’s demeanor.“Even if I don’t have evidence, people believe me. What can you do about it?” Margaret said dismissively.She probably thought I would be defeated completely.“Margaret, don’t forget who I am. I’m the chairman of RexCorp. If you don’t delete what you said immediately, I can easily find a powerful lawyer to sue you for slander. I won’t be merciful. I’ll go all out to protect my image and make sure you compensate for the damage caused to RexCorp. You should know how much damage you’ve done, right? Or maybe you don’t, but you should understand how much you’ll have to compensate if I sue you.”I spoke fiercely, my lips curling
Sasha's POV"They don't need to lose their hands; they just don't know the truth," I said, worried that Gabriel might actually follow through on cutting off people's hands.Gabriel can be funny, but when he's serious, he's really scary. As someone influential on both sides of the law, he's a powerful and feared figure."You think not knowing the truth gives them the right to hit you and curse at you? Look at you; you've been injured!" Gabriel yelled, looking angry.One of his men approached and reported, "Boss, we caught everyone who attacked her. None of them escaped. What should we do next?"They really did catch everyone. I glanced at Gabriel. Even though I was angry about being attacked, I knew it wasn't entirely their fault. The real problem was Margaret, who spread those rumors online.It's clear Margaret is behind this, and she's the one I need to deal with. As for the attackers, they were likely paid by Margaret or were just angry netizens. Punishing them won't solve anything.
