Valencia's brows knitted, and she bit her lower lip. She let her crafty mind spurn on how to alert Tatiana about her stay at Maverick's mansion. Not only did Maverick lock Valencia in one position, but he also kept her phone hidden. Valencia's expression turned gloomier upon recalling it. She quickly inhaled to suppress her wandering thoughts. Valencia rested her chin on her palm, and she began to think about how she could send cheating evidence to the legitimate wife. Placing kiss evidence on Maverick's shirt? Valencia hurriedly shook her head. No. No. She hasn't even seen her bag, not to mention her lipstick... RING!!! The sudden ringing of Maverick's phone, which was placed next to Valencia, distracted her thoughts. Valencia's lips pursed gloomily at the interaction, and she simply stretched her hand to silence the call. Her hand was about to touch the phone's volume button when her neck suddenly craned and her eyes lit up. Immediately, Valencia's face bright
Maverick clenched the steering wheel; his lips were drawn in a thin line, and a gloomy aura pervaded him. Recalling the woman’s stubborn expression, his chest somehow tightened, and his irritation grew. Maverick reached out for the packet of expensive cigarettes placed in the center console. He lit up a stick and began to smoke it, his whole being enigmatic. After smoking two sticks, Maverick’s gloomy expression decreased slightly. He turned on the ignition and drove out of the mansion immediately. Minutes later, Maverick’s car drove into the hospital. With a gloomy expression, Maverick alighted the car and strode into the hospital. A few minutes later, he opened the door to Tatiana's ward and strode inside. Tatiana's body was curled up in a fetal position. Her eyes were shut tightly, and her fist was balled into a fist, making her whole person pitiful. Maverick's expression softened upon casting a glance at the trembling Tatiana. Suddenly, Tatiana's eyes flew
The thick smell of century-old alcohol and cigarettes pervaded the private room. Maverick’s brows knitted slightly at the sight of the table. On the dark table were dozens of bottles of whisky, liquor, and wine, and several bottles were empty. Indifferently, Maverick strode into the private room and sat on one of the couches elegantly, a domineering and majestic aura oozing out of him. Burke casually arched his brows and continued to smoke the half-stick cigarette he held in his hand. He lazily glanced at Maverick. "Brother three, you disappeared again. This time and that time for that woman,” he puffed out the smoke enchantingly. Maverick ignored Burke's statement and poured a century-old whisky into a new glass cup. He swirled it before chugging it down his throat. He gave Burke a languid glance that seemed to accuse Burke of being wasted at such a time of the day. “Eh eh. It's not the first time.” Burke chuckled indifferently, but one won't fail to catch the sadness in i
"Ahhhhh!" Valencia yawned and stretched her sore body tiredly. She turned on the massive bed and rubbed her eyes before stretching her body leisurely. Her brows knitted upon discovering that the pain coursing through her had lessened a lot. Even though Valencia didn't want to admit it, she knew the person who could be behind it: Maverick. Valencia exhaled and leisurely turned. She couldn't believe she had fallen asleep amidst crying. Upon recalling Maverick, Valencia's heart felt as if it had been stabbed deeply by multiple shards of sharp glass. He... Wait! Valencia paused in agitation. How could she turn and stretch this much when she had been tied down to a position by Maverick? Valencia's brows furrowed, and her eyes flew wide open. Immediately, Valencia realized that the red rope that had always tied her down had magically disappeared. Valencia sat up, and she realized that she was in Maverick's white shirt, which fell below her knees due to its big size and
Valencia eyed the shrieking girl. The girl was an average-looking, slim girl in her twenties, currently dressed in a pink princess gown. The girl currently had a scowl on her face and her arms akimbo. Immediately, Valencia recalled the girl as Amelia, the daughter of Maverick's nanny, who grew up with Maverick. Because Amelia had grown up with Maverick, she always believed that Maverick had a soft spot for her and that she'd one day become Maverick's woman. She was also among those who had bullied Valencia in the past. Seeing Amelia's posture and expression, Valencia realized that even if she had no intention to seek trouble, that person would still seek trouble with her. Valencia's lips subtly curved upward in eagerness. Originally, Valencia was raging in a bad mood, and she had no opportunity to let it out. Luckily, a stupid punching bag had delivered herself. Hopefully, this uncouth girl won't let her down. Thinking like this, Valencia closed her eyes and continued
Valencia yawned and rubbed her eyes lazily. The familiar soreness and softness made her groan and curse that lustful Maverick scum. That jerk is too much! Valencia extended her hand and massaged her painful waist before turning on the soft bed. Suddenly, Valencia's brows furrowed at the emptiness, and her eyes flew wide open. Valencia's gaze fell on the space next to the bed. Not only was it cold, but it was also neat, with no creases, as if Maverick hadn't slept next to her after she blacked out. A rueful smile appeared on Valencia's face, and her eyes turned cold immediately. Did Maverick return to the mansion just so he could stabilize his mood before he returned to that woman? Even without thinking, Valencia knew where Maverick had gone. If he liked Tatiana so much, then why did he lock her up and won't let her go? Valencia chuckled. Why would Maverick let Valencia go? After all, Maverick took Valencia as nothing but a toy. Valencia stared into the distance and sc
Upon hearing Maverick's words, Tatiana subtly gnashed her teeth together and clenched her fist in fury. Finley, that asshole, had never liked Tatiana from day one. Finley's eyes are always sharp, cold, and scary whenever they land on Tatiana. It was as if he knew Tatiana's every thought and every action. Tatiana had never felt so uneasy with anyone as she felt when she was in Finley's presence. In Finley's presence, Tatiana doesn't even want to think about any scheming tricks because she feels that Finley will know her thoughts. Despite the thoughts running through her mind, Tatiana bit her lower lip demurely and nodded her head considerately. "Then Maverick shouldn't work too hard, okay?" She lowered her head and conveyed in a soft, docile tone. Maverick tucked his hands into his trousers pocket, nodded indifferently, and strode out of the room without another response. Seeing Maverick leave her room without hesitation, Tatiana gritted her teeth, an indecipherable glint
Lessie bit her lower lip to snap out of her daze. Immediately, her lips quivered and her face reddened in grievance. “Brother-in-law, who's that woman with you in the news? Didn't my brother-in-law claim to love my sister? How can a brother-in-law be with another woman?" Lessie's eyes reddened, and she cried out righteously. Her body kept trembling, her chest puffed out, and her hips swayed coquettishly with her every word. Her actions were capable of stirring any man’s heart. After Maverick rejects Lessie in the wedding hall, Lessie tries to meet Maverick countless times to pursue him, yet somehow their paths never cross those years. However, the thought of Maverick not getting married or moving on for the past few years was enough to help Lessie calm down. As long as Maverick continued to stay single, Lessie believed that she had all the time to win Maverick over to her side But what Lessie never expected was that Tatiana would suddenly emerge out of nowhere to become M
The doctor bowed to Valencia and the Cirillo family as soon as he completed his report. The Cirillo family already expected the doctor's report because it was just like during the quadruplet's pregnancy. Valencia's health always turns frail whenever she's pregnant. Due to that, she will always have a meal and nutrition timetable curved for her; she'll have to lessen her work and take more rest, etc. and it was just as the doctor said after checking Valencia up “This means Valencia has to stop visiting that damn filming location.” Aviva immediately expressed as soon as the doctor left. Aviva parted her chest and smiled sweetly. “I really didn't want Valencia to hang around that...” damn Maverick… Before Aviva could complete her words, she immediately recalled the presence of the smartass quadruplet, which put a stop to her words. Aviva was afraid that if she wasn't careful, she might mistakenly let out some words to the quadruplet. And since the quadruplet are very smart. T
“Valencia, I already got it. I already bought it.” Aviva grabbed Valencia's hand as soon as Valencia stepped out of the car and enthusiastically spoke in a hushed voice that couldn't be heard by anyone except for the both of them. Upon seeing the two women acting unusually again, Corbyn simply arched his brows and strode into the mansion while making a call. Upon hearing Tatiana's words, Valencia's calm façade broke, and her body unconsciously straightened; her body became tense. The result of the pregnancy test will spell her fate. Soon, she'll discover if she had gotten pregnant for Maverick or not. Valencia's hand fell on her stomach. What if Valencia already got pregnant? What will she do this time? Immediately, the recollection of Maverick accompanying Tatiana early in the morning flashed through her mind. Valencia's mood immediately became calm, and she hissed, her lips puckering to form a sulk. Yet she obediently followed Aviva into the room. Upon seeing Vale
Roman suddenly raised the box of lunch in his hands, his lips pressed together in a thin line. His eyes fell on Valencia, and he spoke, “Even with that wounded hand, you made this box… Thanks.” Valencia made a face and puckered her lips in unhappiness. Who wanted to make this for him? If he didn’t threaten her, she wouldn't. “It’s not for you…” Roman calmly interrupted, his eyes not falling on Valencia even for once. “Yes, I know. It’s to buy back yourself, isn’t it?” He retorted. Valencia suddenly stopped and turned to Roman calmly. Sue emitted in a serious voice, “I can’t do this anymore. Mr. Roman should think of what you want as payback.” Valencia expressed, and without waiting for Roman to complete his words, she turned to leave. If she discovered that she was pregnant, she would have to stop this because her baby’s health would be her utmost priority. Not to mention that she is very wary of Roman, and she finds him very suspicious! He can even notice Corbyn and Valenci
Aviva bit her lower lip and blinked her eyes anxiously. She grabbed Valencia by the hand and parted her lips, “Um…” “Um, nothing.” Valencia quickly interjected, raised her hands, and used them to cover Aviva’s lips before Aviva could let out her words. Valencia quickly pulled Aviva to the side, placed her hands on her hips, and gave Aviva a stern gaze. She whispered next to her ear. “It’s not known whether I’m carrying a baby or not. I haven’t felt anything since that time. Why are you so anxious? Being like this will rat us out? We can’t let anyone know yet.” She expressed sternly and seriously in a breath. Upon hearing Valencia’s stem word, Aviva blinked her eyes, and her back unconsciously straightened. She puckered her lips and stared at Valencia in grievance. "I understand, but I’m just worried about little...” Before Aviva could complete her words, Valencia facepalmed herself and stared at the sky as if she were done. Ever since Valencia retched in Aviva’s presence,
“Mom, what are you cooking?” Hudson's eyes widened curiously, and his cheeks bulged with every bite of the chocolate in his hands. He kept trying to tiptoe and stretch his neck to see what was cooking, but due to his small frame, he failed woefully. Upon seeing the chocolate in Hudson's hand, Valencia's expression changed and slowly turned stern. It’s early in the morning, yet her little baby is already eating chocolate. Not to mention that they snack-binged last night. Immediately, Valencia placed her hands on her waist and pointed at Hudson… “Mom. I already drank a bitter herbal drink. Mom, shouldn't worry about my teeth. Quadruplet is smart, and quadruplet won't make Mom worry at all.” Hudson confessed confidently, interjecting Valencia's words as if he already knew what Valencia planned to say. Upon hearing Hudson's words, Valencia smacked her lips together. She extended her hands and pulled his cheeks playfully. “Smart mouth.” He already gave answers to her questions bef

Valencia’s brows furrowed, completely stunned by how everything ensued. Corbyn came here to make Tatiana show up, didn’t he? Then why did the mention of that person make the whole ambiance change? And why did Corbyn mention that they should leave? Who is that person? The more Valencia thinks like this, the more curious she becomes. “Big brother Corbyn. Who? Who is that person? What’s going on?” Valencia asked Corbyn in curiosity as soon as they entered the car. Suddenly, Valencia’s heart skipped a beat. Is Maverick in danger? Did that person pose a threat to Maverick and Corbyn? or else why did they become solemn? The more Valencia thinks, the more worry that courses through her. Corbyn’s eyes flickered, but in the next second, his eyes regained their calm, giving one the illusion that it was just one thinking. His glazed eyes fell on the woman. “Valencia.” Upon seeing Corbyn’s meaningful expression, Valencia realized a thing. There’s a high likelihood that this matter
“Eh. Corbyn, you are here.” Valencia paused arranging her things into her bag and straightened her back; her eyes flashed with bewilderment. She didn’t expect that Corbyn would also come to pick her up today… Talking of picking up, ever since Maverick and Tatiana left earlier, they didn’t return! The couples are truly dramatic and overreacting. Let’s say Tatiana was indeed pushed by Valencia. It’s just a simple push without any bruising or anything serious; is that worthy enough for her to go to the hospital? So dramatic! That’s why they are perfectly made for each other… “What’s wrong with your hand?” Corbyn suddenly grabbed Valencia’s hand and asked in concern, his voice very cold and his expression cold and solemn. Upon seeing Corbyn like this, a trail of shivers coursed down Valencia’s spine. She tried to wave her hand with a nonchalant smile and responded with a lie, “It’s nothing serious. The doctor dramatically wrapped…” Before Valencia could complete her
Valencia's shoulder fell, and she downcastly dragged her feet toward the filming location, her expression very pitiful. That damn maverick! She should never have left him to do the cast picking. Even if Maverick isn’t behind the cast's choosing, Valencia doesn’t care at all. Rather, all she felt was that it was all Maverick's fault! In the same movie, there’s Tatiana, there’s Lessie, there’s Gillian, and finally Roman. It can be said that that bastard truly wanted to kill her. How can she be surrounded by people like this in her own movie? Sigh. Sigh. Maverick, that person is truly an infuriating bastard! Upon recalling the past, Valencia’s shoulder fell, and she puffed her cheeks. Back when Valencia was chasing Maverick, there was nothing she wouldn't do! A few days before Maverick's birthday, Valencia saw an expensive luxury black tie that she believed would look good on Maverick. Maverick had always put on a monotone outfit, and he couldn't do without a dark suit
