Rocco's POVValentina has been ignoring me for over a week now, ever since I told her I wasn't in support of her telling my mother that she was pregnant without my permission.Mother has been over the moon because of the news. Everyone now knows that Valentina is pregnant.Whenever I have the intention of resolving this conflict between us, I always find her curled up in bed, leaving the couch for me to sleep on.I got the maids to take another bed into the room where I sleep now.

Valentina's POVThere stands Christine Moore.My favorite guitarist.My jaws drop open fully and I turn to meet Rocco's gaze. He is smiling proudly and I find myself running into his arms.We are out of the car already. I couldn't believe my eyes so I had to come down quickly to be sure I am not seeing something wrong.Christine stands there gracefully, looking extremely handsome in a black cotton jacket on a white purple shirt. He is also wearing a pair of blue purple trousers with a brown leather belt.He is wearing matching black sneakers too. He has short wavy black hair that fits his entire outfit as he slides the guitar across his body.I realize I am still in Rocco's arms and I quickly disengage from the hug, a chuckle leaving my mouth.I have no idea how Rocco got to know about Christine and how much I love his songs but I appreciate whatever effort he has made to bring Christine here.I have always seen him on TV.

Rocco's POV She is one hell of a woman. I thought she would become jealous of my question and throw a tantrum but she isn't doing any of that and I don't feel satisfied. I really don't know why I feel this way. The other day, I was so excited about the thought of having sex but here I am asking for permission from her and after getting the permission, the excitement is nonexistent. What is wrong with me? I watch as her eyes bulge open in surprise. I am as surprised as she is. I didn't mean to ask her that question but there is something at the back of my mind that I can't bring to the forefront. Something forbidden. Uncalled for. Something that shouldn't be heard of me. "What?!" She exclaims again for the umpteenth time. I shrug in genuine puzzlement. I really do not know why I said that too. Suddenly, I let out a chuckle and watch her roll her eyes at me, then sigh. "You are kidding, right?" I shrug again, this time in sheer ignorance of what I am exactly doing. She let ou

Valentina's POVThis must be one of his girlfriends and probably one of the girls he would ask to become his sex partner.She looks like a model with her long legs and curvy shape. I am curvy too and I have long legs as well but her outfit beats mine, reminding me of how I haven't been taking advantage of being a billionaire's wife.Her jewelry is from one of the top stores in New York and her handbag is a designer's handbag.I totally forgot all about Fred until he clears his throat to get my attention. I was shocked to see him, but not as shocked as seeing him with a different girl yet again.I keep expecting to see him with Brenda now and then. I keep wishing desperately for the assurance that those two are making my breakup worthwhile by being together but from the look of things, they aren't.It's either Brenda has already dumped his silly ass or he never loved her the way he loved me.Frankly, I felt that emotion again. That p

Rocco's POV Her hands circle around my waist as she restricts me from punching the idiot once again. I have no explanation for my anger and resentment towards him but I guess the sight of Celina is adding all to this. Tingles rush down my spine at her touch, calming my nerves and making me stare at her pretty hands, wishing for them to stay this way. "Fred, stop this!" Celina's voice jerks me out of my reverie. Fred is rushing towards me and she manages to push him away. "What is wrong with you?!" She shouts at him as he falls on his buttocks. I wonder what kind of relationship they have but I guess I have no business with that. I drop my hands and take a hold of Valentina's two hands. Twirling around, I face her face. She looks frightened and I have never seen her this way before. Even the night she got attacked, she didn't have this expression on her face. Impulsively, I pull her into a hug. This hug is meant to comfort her, to reduce the fear but I am also deriving comfort f

Valentina's POVRocco's ex-girlfriend is the third girl I saw alongside Fred and Brenda the other day I had a nightmare.I had the same nightmare today and I was able to recognize her better than that day when I found her familiar.That isn't what is baffling me but the fact that she is there with Fred and Brenda and why I keep dreaming about them.Who is she to Fred? Does she know Brenda too?Summoning up enough courage to get up from the bed, I do so, reminding myself of what happened last night at the restaurant.Everything almost ended badly because Fred and that woman showed up, getting Rocco all reeled up. I still don't know what to make of his anger towards Fred and why that woman was with him.I don't understand what is going on really and why Rocco is not making an effort to clear the confusion.Does he expect me to force him to answer me? Why did he ignore my question when I asked him who she was last night? Is

Rocco's POVJohn continues to horn continuously until I become frustrated and tell him to stop. I open the car door to get out, looking around with arms akimbo.Aren't they home?I take long strides to the gate. It isn't looking like it is locked from behind.As I push it to know if my assumptions are right, the small gate opens and I turn to John who shakes his head.Apparently, they no longer have guards around the house and even a gateman. They should have at least locked the gate from behind.I signal to him to wait for me outside as I open the gate and enter. Everywhere is messy. The flowers are withering gradually, probably because the gardener has been sacked too. The courtyard is in a pitiful state and I wonder if this is part of Valentina's concern for her parents.I ignore the rest of the surroundings as I make my way to the front door with my hands in my pocket.This is the third time I will be here. The first time,

Valentina's POVFred is blackmailing me to have lunch with him because I bumped into his car. I've spent two hours with him already and it's noon.Determined to piss me off, he asked that I take his car to a mechanic. Fortunately, I found some notes in Rocco's car and after getting the car fixed, he demanded to have lunch with me.I know I am not supposed to agree to have lunch with my ex-boyfriend. I am supposed to hate him and spite him so much for trying to hurt Rocco but Fred has become so unfamiliar to me and I guess my curiosity made me give in."You still look beautiful", he comments, making me take the straw away from my mouth as I stare at him.I didn't have breakfast this morning before going out. By the time we were done fixing his car, my stomach was already rumbling and that was why he suggested we grab lunch nearby.With a proud smirk, I remark. "Just like Brenda."He turns his face away and curses under his breath. "Brenda is nowhere close to your beauty, Val and you kn

Rocco's POVNervous is an understatement of how I feel. This isn't the first time Valentina and I are doing this but it feels like the first time. It feels like this is what will determine our forever after. It feels like a dream too and I can barely think of anything else other than to get this done with."Hey, relax man", Richard chuckles as he throws a Rolex wristwatch at me. I catch it and heave a deep sigh of relief.This isn't a big deal, I remind myself. This isn't a big deal.We are renewing our vows and this is what makes it a big deal to me."Are you ready?" he shouts from outside the curtains.Still fixing the wristwatch on my wrist, I nod intermittently and exhale deeply.He claps his hand as a signal for me to come out. I take a quick step further and another until I am outside where my groomsmen are lined up waiting for me.They are all dressed in black suits while I am wearing a three piece Blue Weddi

Valentina's POVHis lips capture mine as his hands work on my long hair while I cling to him as close as I can because I can't get enough of him.As he kisses the life out of me, a small groan leaves my mouth and suddenly, he pulls away, making me flutter my eyes open.With a smile, he caresses my face.I concentrate on his expression trying so hard to figure out what he must be thinking.I made us come here for a good reason and I know he is a little sad about it. Today is the final judgment for Mr. Lorenzo, Anita, Brenda, and Celina. Rocco was getting prepared to go to the court when I suggested we take a day trip here. I wanted to see the mountains and more of nature and coming here was the best idea.I didn't want him to go to court to be reminded about the death of his kind Mother. I didn't want to go either because I don't want to feel any iota of sympathy for any of those criminals, especially Brenda.She must

Rocco's POVThe denial and her expression said it all; she doesn't want the baby and it takes me back to my shell of grieving.Hearing about the news of a baby coming made me forget my sorrows for a second and reduced the pain of losing someone who means so much to me.I am not superstitious but it felt as if the baby was going to be a replacement for my dead Mother. Now, my hope has been shattered by Valentina's outburst and confidence about not being pregnant.Her parents were extremely shocked too. It proved to me that I was wrong about her joking over a serious matter like that.I didn't say a word. I just remained quiet till when it was time to discharge her and we came home.It's been days and Valentina isn't saying anything yet about the baby. If she doesn't feel the baby, then am I supposed to wait till her belly begins to protrude before bringing this issue up and resolving it once and for all?The baby is a blessing.&n

Rocco's POVIgnoring the emptiness I suddenly felt when her body was lowered feet down the ground, I glanced away to stop myself from breaking down but it was impossible because the action alone hit me hard.She is gone. Never to be seen again.I want to break down now but I can not. I am a man. I have a wife who is looking up to me. The way Valentina reacted to her death was shocking and I have to control myself so she doesn't end up crying again.But I can't hold it back.How can I when this woman meant so much to me? Is it the pain of losing her when I least expected it? Or the pain of thinking about the people who killed her?Maybe if it had been a natural death, I wouldn't be in so much anguish. Maybe if it weren't planned by the people I know, I wouldn't be hurt this way.Why her? Why Mother?Everybody loved her. She was a great woman. She was wealthy but no one knew she was because her husband was handling everythi

Rocco's POVHE IS NOT YOUR FATHER, ROCCO! I LIED.These were her first words to me. If only I was there before the last moment, I would have heard her say them to me herself instead of writing them down.I wanted so desperately to hear the whole truth from her but I wanted to give it time. I wanted it to be the right time to ask so she wouldn't give me an excuse not to talk about it but now she is gone.I will never hear her talk to me again.I REGRET LYING TO YOU, SON. IT WAS NOT IN MY INTENTION TO DO THAT BECAUSE I THOUGHT HE WAS WORTH IT. APPARENTLY, HE ISN'T WORTH IT.I THOUGHT I COULD CHANGE HIM.

Rocco's POVShe is gulping down the whole content of the wine and looking away to make me think she wasn't staring at me peeling off the baggy shirt and trouser she gave to me on behalf of her dad.All of a sudden, I feel like taunting her a little about it. This is definitely not the first time she is seeing me naked, so why is she uncomfortable with it?Well, maybe it's because it's the second time. We have had sex only once and that was the first time she saw my nudity and also the first time I saw the beauty beneath her clothes.I know this is definitely not the right time for this but I can't help it. Coming here was the right decision and I feel more than relieved to have gotten help from Mr. Lewis."Hey", she shoots to her feet abruptly as I approach her and she begins to walk to the door, hiding her face from looking down at my naked body.Laugh erupts from my stomach, not at her action but at the fact that the door is locked and the

Rocco's POVThe glances I was stealing at her did not make me realize we were being followed until I turned the next corner and saw the black big van behind us trailing us from a distance.Intentionally, I took another turn to see if the van would follow or not and they did follow us at a safe distance, to avoid arousing my suspicion.Valentina is sitting next to me while I am driving. She is slumped in the seat looking exhausted, probably from too much crying or the information that my supposed Father tried to hurt her Dad.She saw this coming and this was the reason why I was stealing glances at her.It was in admiration for her intelligence. She is beautiful whether exhausted or not and it makes me think of where we are in our relationship at the moment.I thought we would resolve everything tonight since Mother already brought the issue up but that will no longer be possible because of what happened.What I have to be worrie

Valentina's POVI can't breathe.There is a huge lump stuck in my throat, stopping me from breathing properly. I try to open my mouth and take in as much breath as I can and it works.Finally, I exhale, my nose stiff and cold.My breathing isn't steady. It is beating wildly and heavily within my rib cage in rage. My head is pounding so hard and my eyes brim with tears.I am not thinking about Rocco now. I am thinking about Fred. I am thinking about how Fred and I got separated and how I ended up being a wife to Rocco who is now obviously cheating on me with his first love.Fred and I got separated because he cheated on me with my best friend and the same thing is happening again but this time with a man I vowed to love months ago even though I didn't mean to keep to the vow.I shouldn't have fallen head over heels for him but how can I not when he always acts so sweet and tells me how much he loves me?This isn't part of
