I watched the press conference live on TV, my anger simmering with each passing moment. Had Ares seen my texts and calls, only to ignore me? His contradictory behavior baffled me - one moment he was sweet and caring, the next, arrogant and fierce.

As evening fell, I waited in my room, trying to convince myself that I didn't care if he came home or not. But my actions betrayed my words, as I found myself constantly glancing out the window, hoping to catch a glimpse of his car pulling into the driveway.

Despite my attempts to appear nonchalant, worry crept in, gnawing at my mind. Was he in danger? Had the authorities taken him into custody for the crime he was accused of? The uncertainty was suffocating, leaving me restless and on edge.

As I lay on my bed, staring at the ceiling, my mind replayed the press conference I had watched earlier. Ares' words had been convincing, and I was sure they had resonated with many who had doubted him.

I, too, had harbored doubts, and I couldn't believe

  • Dating My Ex’s Uncle   Chapter 20

    As I opened my eyes, I found myself once again in Ares' bed, a familiar scene that had become a regular occurrence. I couldn't recall the last time I had woken up in my own room. Ares' sleeping face was the first thing I saw, his lips inches from mine, his gentle breathing a soothing sound. He looked endearing, his mouth puckered in a childlike pout. I was captivated by his peaceful expression, my gaze lingering on his features. But as I tried to slip out of bed, his hand instinctively grasped mine, holding me in place. "Good morning," I whispered, smiling. Ares yawned, his eyes still closed, but as they opened, his hazel gaze locked onto mine with an intensity that made my heart race. It was as if he had never loved before, but now, he was consumed by it, unable to tear his eyes away. He playfully asked, "Won't I get a morning kiss?" His words were met with a gentle pull, drawing me closer to him on the bed. His eyes burned with a passion that left me breathless. "Cheesy t

    Valerie's POVI emerged from Mrs. Cha's office, my mind preoccupied with the possibility of pregnancy. Ares greeted me with a concerned expression, "All done?" I nodded curtly, forcing a brief smile to conceal my worry.Ares stepped closer, his eyes fixed on the injection site, where I still pressed the cotton wool to stem the bleeding. "Did it hurt?" he asked, his voice laced with concern.I shook my head, "Not at all. I didn't feel a thing." Ares teased, "Oh, so you're a superwoman, huh?" His eyes crinkled at the corners as he smiled, his happiness radiating from his very presence.But I couldn't shake off the thought - would he still smile at me with the same joy if the test results confirmed my pregnancy? Only time would tell."You're always teasing me," I said, looking away from him with a playful roll of my eyes."Am I? I'm just having a conversation with you," Ares replied, his grin still in place.I chuckled, "Same thing, silly."As we sat on the bench, enjoying a lighthearted

    Valerie's POV Ares' gaze locked onto mine, his eyes revealing nothing. I swallowed hard, my throat constricting with anxiety. "What does it say?" I asked, struggling to maintain a calm tone despite my inner turmoil. His response was swift and direct. "You're pregnant, Valerie." The words hit me like a ton of bricks, leaving me winded. My hands instinctively flew to my stomach, as if to protect the tiny life growing within. Ares' voice cracked as he thanked the doctor, a stutter I'd never heard before. "Th-thank you, doctor." It was a fleeting moment of vulnerability, a glimpse of fear or uncertainty, perhaps. I couldn't quite decipher it, but it only added to my own trepidation. The room seemed to spin around me, the news sinking in like a weight. Pregnant. The word echoed in my mind, filling me with a mix of emotions: shock, fear, uncertainty, and a hint of wonder. Ares approached me, our eyes locking in a silent standoff. The tension between us was palpable, but neither of

    The look in Valerie’s eyes was heart wrenching, I couldn’t even believe I was the cause behind the pain she was feeling right now. Fine I didn’t react the way I was supposed to react back at the hospital, but damn! How on earth was I meant to know how to react. I’ve never had a pregnant wife or girlfriend.All these was also new to me.“Don’t leave me Valerie. Stay with me, for us, for our unborn pup.”The words left my mouth before I even had to reason it. I watched as her face softened and she dropped the pink sweater she was holding and ran her fingers through her hair. She was breaking down. I know she has gone through a lot and I chose to put her through so much worse?What kind of man am I?Days ago, she was just a mere pawn in my revenge plot but when did I really care if she’s happy or sad? If she lives or die? I guess I could say it was ever since I saved her and not just when we actually got intimate.Her warm eyes beckoned me for words of affirmation as she stared at me the

    Valerie's povI squinted as the warm rays of light filtered through the window blinds.I smiled, reaching out to Ares and only met a cold bed beside me.That's how it's meant to be. I really don't know the reason why Ares was acting all weird yesterday.But to be honest I loved that side of him.I could vividly remember the way he laughed when I accidentally spilled ice cream on his shirt or the way he giggled like a kindergartner as ice cream dribbled down his chin as he tried to imitate Looney tunes.I laughed as I sat up right and yawned as I pulled out my phone from under the pillow and groaned as I realised the time.After managing to pull myself out of bed, I pulled the straps of my nightie tight and moved to the bathroom to brush my teeth before going down for breakfast.I felt different, in fact I was different.I stared at myself.The Valerie I was seeing was a strong determined woman who had survived all odds.I subconsciously caressed my stomach with so much love.I had a l

    "Ares, listen to me, now!" I giggled, watching him pull the blanket over his head. I enjoyed seeing him in such a frustrated state, my laughter echoing in the room. "Ares!!!" He groaned as I jumped on top of him, determined to get his attention. "See, you can't even..." My voice trailed off as he grabbed my hands and flipped me effortlessly, pinning my wrists above my head. "Can't even what, Val?" His eyes locked onto mine, and I felt my insides melt. His intense gaze was doing crazy things to me, turning my resolve to water. Why does he have such an effect on me??!! I cleared my throat and looked away, trying to regain my composure. "Nothing, just let me go, okay?" My voice came out smaller than intended. My whole body felt hot, like I was suffocating under his weight and presence. Damn him! I was only teasing him. "Fine!" He laughed, rolling off me and sitting up on the bed. I sat up beside him and nudged his shoulder as I brushed a stray lock of hair behind my ear. "You're

    I sighed absentmindedly as I strode into my office with Steve in tow.The weight of the reports from the media house hung heavy on my shoulders.Why is he really hell bent on destroying Valerie completely?Daniel had someone powerful backing him, someone who posed an extremely strong threat.I was certain it wasn't my father this time; he wouldn't stoop so low. My father only ever meddled in ways that struck deep, ways that left me reeling and shocked especially when it came to Valerie. He never wanted us together, but this move didn't have his signature moves."I've gotten some of the information you asked for. There's really something about Miss Valerie that you've got to know about, I'm afraid..." Steve began, his voice hesitant.I cut him off with a wave of my hand, impatience lacing my every move. "That's not the matter on the table right now, Steve. Get me a firm hold on Daniel, okay?" I thundered, my frustration teetering on the edge of control.Steve nodded meekly, his demeano

I trailed off as I didn't even have the slightest idea where she was."I thought I made myself clear when I told you not to leave the house!" I was already losing my mind but then I heard her whimper then followed by the sound of tires skidding fast on the road."I thought I made it clear not to leave the house!" I barked into the phone, frustration boiling over. Val's impulsive actions could jeopardise everything.Her whimper cut through the air, followed by the screech of tires. Panic surged within me.I was already losing my mind but then I heard her whimper then followed by the sound of tires skidding fast on the road"I'm sorry val, where are you now?"I glanced at Steve who nodded at me and began typing on

    ValerieAs I turned over, I was greeted by the sight of Ares lying beside me, still asleep. His face was peaceful, a slight smile tugging at the corners of his lips, as if he were reliving the same cherished memories in his dreams. I reached out, gently brushing a strand of hair from his forehead, my heart swelling with love for this incredible man who had brought so much joy into my life.Watching him sleep, I marveled at how serene he looked, so different from the powerful, driven man he was when awake. His vulnerability in these quiet moments made me love him even more. I leaned in, pressing a soft kiss to his forehead, my lips lingering for a moment as I whispered, "I love you, Ares."The warmth of his skin, the rhythm of his steady breathing, and the tranquility of the moment wrapped around me like a comforting embrace. I nestled closer, feeling his presence soothe every part of me. In this cocoon of love, I knew that whatever challenges lay ahead, we would face them together. Fo

    Ares povAfter the meeting, I felt a weight lift off my shoulders. The discussions had gone well, and the merger seemed to be on solid ground. As I made my way back to the car, I decided to take a detour. There was a little candy floss shop on the way home that Valerie had mentioned once, her eyes lighting up with childlike excitement. I knew she had a sweet tooth, and I wanted to surprise her.The shop was quaint, tucked away on a quiet street, its bright neon sign flickering against the encroaching dusk. I parked and walked up to the counter where a middle-aged man, probably the owner, was busy spinning the sugary treat.“Evening,” he greeted, his voice warm and welcoming. “What can I get for you?”“Evening,” I replied, smiling. “I’ll take a couple of those candy flosses.”“Got a sweet tooth, huh?” he chuckled, expertly twirling the pink cotton candy onto a stick.I laughed, shaking my head. “Not exactly. These are for my wife.”The man’s eyes twinkled with amusement. “Ah, a treat f

The setting was exquisite, with manicured gardens stretching out before me, vibrant flowers in full bloom, and the gentle sound of a nearby fountain creating a soothing backdrop. The open-air venue was perfect for a high-stakes business meeting, combining luxury and serenity. Heads of state and influential business leaders sat around the table, the air buzzing with animated discussions about mergers, acquisitions, and strategic partnerships.Dressed in a finely tailored suit that spoke of understated elegance, I leaned forward, listening intently as a CEO detailed a proposal for a new merger. My input was valuable, and I commanded attention and respect as I shared my insights. The conversation was rich with technical jargon and financial projections, but I was in my element.The terrace buzzed with activity as I settled into my seat, the aroma of

    ValerieBut the day wasn’t over yet. “We’re not heading home,” I informed the driver and bodyguards, noticing their looks of amusement. “We’re going to an orphanage.”The driver raised an eyebrow but said nothing, simply adjusting our route. The bodyguards exchanged curious glances but kept their questions to themselves. As we drove, I watched the cityscape change from bustling streets to quieter, more residential areas. Eventually, we arrived at a large, well-maintained building surrounded by greenery.The orphanage was nestled in a serene neighborhood, the kind of place that exuded a sense of calm and care. The grounds were clean, with a neatly trimmed lawn and colorful flowers lining the walkway to the entrance. The building itself was painted a soft, welcoming yellow, with large windows that let in plenty of light.I stepped out of the car, taking a moment to appreciate the peaceful surroundings. The driver and bodyguards followed, their expressions a mix of curiosity and respect.

    Valerie's povAs the morning sun began to filter through the curtains, I felt the warmth of Ares beside me. His kiss stirred me awake, a gentle promise of all the things to come. Opening my eyes, I found him gazing at me, his eyes soft and full of affection. With a playful smile, I grabbed his arm and pulled him back into bed, kissing him softly and teasing him with light, fleeting touches of my lips."Ares," I whispered against his mouth, "I wanna go out today. Please?"His lips curved into a smile, and he kissed me back, deeper this time, a silent conversation passing between us. For a moment, I thought I had won. But then he pulled back, shaking his head slightly, a firm but gentle refusal in his eyes."No, Valerie," he said, his voice steady.I pouted, giving him my best pleading look. "Please, Ares? I'm going stir-crazy in here. I need to get out."He sighed, his resolve wavering. "Valerie, it's not safe. You know that."I could see the concern in his eyes, but I was determined.

    Ares"Ares, it's Dr. Whitman," came the calm voice on the other end. "I wanted to let you know that Valerie and the baby are doing great. Her latest tests came back normal, and there's no need for concern."I exhaled a sigh of relief, gratitude washing over me. "Thank you, Doctor. I appreciate you keeping us updated."After ending the call, I leaned back in my chair, a smile spreading across my face. "Valerie and the baby are fine," I announced to Steve, who had been watching me with concern."That's great news," he said, grinning. "You deserve some good news."I nodded, feeling a sense of peace. "Yeah, we do."The rest of the day seemed to fly by. The news from the doctor had lifted a weight off my shoulders, and I tackled my work with renewed energy and focus. By the time the evening rolled around, I felt a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.As I drove home, I thought about the journey Valerie and I had been on.

The numbers were impressive, and despite everything that had been happening, the company's performance had been stellar."These figures are fantastic," I said, glancing up at Steve, who was leaning against the edge of my desk. "Our new marketing strategy is really paying off."Steve nodded, a satisfied smile on his face. "Yeah, the team did a great job. The social media campaign alone brought in a 20% increase in customer engagement."I flipped through a few more pages, noting the uptick in sales across various regions. "And our expansion into the European market is finally showing returns. This is better than we projected.""Definitely," Steve agreed.

As Valerie stirred, I gently brushed a stray strand of hair from her face, my heart swelling with love and determination."How are you feeling?" I asked softly, my voice barely above a whisper.She blinked, her eyes slowly focusing on me. "Better," she replied, a small smile playing on her lips. "Thank you for staying with me.""There's nowhere else I'd rather be," I said, squeezing her hand. "Are you hungry? I can make you something to eat."She shook her head, her expression softening. "Just having you here is enough. But maybe some tea would be nice."I nodded and rose from my seat, carefully making my way to the kitchen.
