Dating My Ex’s Uncle Chapter 23
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

Ares povIt was as if time stilled as I could hear her trying to keep the fear away from her voice.I raced down to my office and found Steve that was already pacing the space of my office and just with a glance from me he knew something was up."Steve, release the drones.." 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

Ares povMy heart warmed at the sight of Valerie curled up on the bed, already fast asleep. The soft rise and fall of her chest was almost like a sedative to me. It reminded me of my much needed rest. But I couldn't, I've got a lot of things to handle.Steve breezed into the room, making his presence known, and stood beside me, also watching her."Let's leave her to rest, there's something you should know." The urgency in Steve's voice was clear.I walked to Val's side, leaning down to drop a gentle kiss on her forehead."Oh quit the PDA, lover boy," Steve teased, pulling me out of the room. The door clicked shut gently behind us, leaving Valerie in her peaceful slumber.She really needed that sleep. When she wakes up she'll explain every single thing."What's the matter?" I asked, my concern mounting. Steve wouldn't just enter the room like that unless something did come up."Two of the assailants are dead," Steve revealed, his tone grave."What?" I furrowed my brows, quickening my p

Valerie's povAres stared at me like I'm some broken doll.I smiled at him to let him know that I am fine.I am a strong independent woman now. I'm not just going to give my heart out for lease to receive it back in a mess.Yeah, I accept the fact that I was the most gullible human on earth back when I was with Daniel.To hell! I can remember vividly when he had a rubber nipple in his pocket. I found it while arranging the room.I asked this man why he was with it and he said his friend's wife forced him to feed her kid and that he didn't realise when he had it on him.He then kissed my forehead and told me not to bother myself about it.Now I only feel extremely disgusted with myself.Snapping back to reality, I leaned closer and studied the photoThe child was beautiful, with soft blue eyes just like his mother's and dark hair like his despicable father. A little boy, innocent in all the chaos that surrounded him. I sighed and placed my head on Ares' shoulder. He pulled back slightl

Are's povInstead of me going home, I went straight to the office and called Steve to pick me up later on.I had already ordered six bottles of margaritas and wine.It'll be my little punishment. I hope Valerie forgives me. Before I even went for the interview, I checked on her and heard her cry that broke something within me, something I never knew existed.I mixed them all up and began drinking. It wasn't my usual style but at least I've got to forget about what happened one way or the other.I made her cry.I drowned my sorrows, emptying bottle after bottle until my vision blurred into a hazy fog. I barely registered the door creaking open, followed by hurried footsteps.Steve burst in, eyes wide with concern. "What the hell have you done to yourself?" he snapped, knocking the third bottle from my hand. It clattered to the floor as he hauled me up. He dragged me to the car, his grip firm yet gentle.My jacket lay haphazardly beside me, and my tie hung crooked. I was a mess, mumblin

Valerie's povThe next day, the hospital room was flooded with a soft, early morning light. I sat up in bed, feeling the remnants of exhaustion from the previous day's emotional rollercoaster. Ares was by my side, as promised, his presence a steady anchor in the sea of uncertainty that had surrounded us.The doctor entered the room, a kind smile on her face. "Good morning, Valerie. How are you feeling today?""I'm feeling better," I replied, my voice stronger than before. "Still a bit tired, but much better.""That's good to hear," she said, pulling up a chair beside the bed. "Before we discharge you, there are some important things we need to discuss regarding your pregnancy. It's crucial that you follow these guidelines to ensure both your health and the baby's."Ares leaned forward, his expression serious and attentive. I felt a rush of warmth at his dedication, and he held my hand firmly, grounding me.The doctor began outlining the necessary precautions. "First and foremost, rest

Valerie's povPain shot through my head as if a sledgehammer was dislodging it. I gasped and sat up, my body drenched in sweat, my mind a fog of confusion and fear. The room was stark and sterile, the fluorescent lights above me harsh and unrelenting."Ares?" I croaked, my voice barely a whisper. Just as I spoke, the door creaked open, and Ares rushed in, his face etched with worry and relief."Valerie!" he exclaimed, hurrying to my side. His hands trembled as he reached out to touch me, but I flinched away instinctively. The hurt on his face was palpable, a mirror to the pain I felt inside.My mind raced to piece together what had happened. The last thing I remembered was going to the garden. I had slipped, and then everything went blank. My hands flew to my belly, a desperate need to feel the life growing inside me. Tears streamed down my face as I realized the implications of my fall."Valerie, please talk to me," Ares pleaded, his voice thick with emotion. But I couldn't form the

Ares povI waited in the sterile, cold waiting room, every minute stretching into an eternity. Each second that ticked by felt like a needle puncturing my heart. Valerie's lifeless body haunted my thoughts, and I couldn't shake the image of her pale face. My mind raced with a million thoughts, but one dominated them all: this was my fault."Damn it, if only I was ready to read with her. It's all my fault," I muttered under my breath, my voice choked with guilt and regret. Tears, hot and bitter, welled up in my eyes. For the first time in years, I cried because of someone. Valerie had found a way straight to my heart, and it was now, in this moment of crisis, that I realized just how deeply she had embedded herself there.The thought of losing her or our unborn child was unbearable. If anything happened to them, I would never be able to forgive myself. I felt helpless, sitting there, unable to do anything but wait. An hour went by, gurneys passed by, and doctors in masks hurried throug

Ares povAs I left the room, a sense of urgency gnawed at me. I needed to find Valerie, to explain everything to her, to make sure she understood. I went to her room, my footsteps quickening with every step, but she wasn't there. The neatly made bed and untouched belongings only heightened my anxiety. I checked the kitchen next, hoping she might be preparing one of her favorite herbal teas, but again, she wasn't there. The air was filled with a stillness that seemed almost unnatural.I hurried to the drawing room, the place she often retreated to for a moment of peace, but it was empty too. The room, usually so filled with her presence, felt cold and uninviting. Panic began to claw at my insides. Where could she be? I was about to head upstairs to grab my phone, thinking maybe she had left a message or a clue about where she had gone, when a piercing scream echoed from the garden. The sound was followed by the frantic shuffling of feet on gravel.My heart pounded in my chest as I race

Valerie's povEach time I visited Alpha Allen's house, I couldn't help but notice how much nicer he seemed to get. It was as if he was making a concerted effort to win me over, and I had to admit, it was working. The kindness and warmth he showed were a stark contrast to the stories Ares had told me about their strained relationship.The next day, I found myself standing at the grand entrance of Alpha Allen's estate once again. The sun was shining, casting a golden hue over the lush gardens that surrounded the mansion. As I approached the door, a sense of anticipation and determination settled over me. Today we would be talking about how Ares might want to help him though it'll e extremely hard for him to even hear his father out for a second time.The servants greeted me with smiles and respectful bows, their demeanor as welcoming as ever. It was clear they had been instructed to treat me with the utmost care and consideration. I couldn't help but feel a bit flattered, though I knew

Valerie's povI sighed to myself as I unwrapped the blanket and reached out to the other side of the bed, only to find it empty.A small grunt escaped my lips as I sat up, running a hand through my hair. Once again, I had fallen asleep in Ares' room. The thought made me blush heavily as I swung my legs over the edge of the bed and stood up.His scent lingered in the room, a comforting reminder of the man I had come to love so deeply. I made my way to the bathroom, the cool tiles under my feet waking me up fully. A quick glance at the clock told me it was late morning."Ares must have gone to the office already," I murmured to myself as I stepped into the shower. The warm water cascaded over me, washing away the remnants of sleep. I let my thoughts drift to Ares, his smile, his touch, and the way he made me feel like the most important person in the world. He has proven himself to be everything.I took my time in the shower, letting the water soothe my muscles. When I finally stepped o

Are's povSitting at my desk, I couldn’t help but smile. The office was quiet, a stark contrast to the usual bustling energy that surrounded the turnaround firm I owned. It was a sanctuary of sorts, where I could immerse myself in the relentless pursuit of saving struggling companies.Today, however was different as my thoughts were far from the chaos of balance sheets and rescue plans. I held a newly framed photo of Valerie, my heart swelling with an emotion I never thought I’d feel again: love.I'm really surprised I could actually still fall in love after what happened before. I don't even want to be reminded again.Valerie had entered my life unexpectedly, turning my world upside down in the best possible way.Firstly she was just a pawn in my game but now I got to say, she'd be my end. The photograph captured her essence perfectly — her radiant smile, the way her eyes seemed to hold a universe of warmth and compassion.I still couldn't believe how quickly I had fallen for her, bu

Valerie's POVAs I leaned my head into the soft leather of Ares' car, a wave of tranquility washed over me. I'd never felt more at peace. A smile crept across my face as I thought about Alex. That little boy had found his way into my heart faster than a freight train. Most people would think I'd resent him because he's my ex-husband's love child, but that wasn't the case at all. He's such a sweet child who didn't deserve to see any more of Daniel's wrath.I ran my hand unconsciously over my belly. The thought of my own baby filled me with joy. I couldn't wait to shower my child with so much love that they'd likely feel overwhelmed by it. I smiled and turned to Ares, who had been watching me intently."Lunch?" he asked, breaking the silence."Alright, dear, we'll go to a restaurant!" I nodded happily and turned to stare out the window, watching the landscape blur as we drove.When we arrived at the restaurant, I insisted on a more casual place. I didn't want too much attention, and I'v
