Rocco's POV
The rage that fills me up even after apologizing to her is unexplainable. I can't explain the tightness in my chest and the sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. I can't even control my anger anymore as I grit my teeth while sitting down in front of the bar counter downstairs and drinking the combination of wine and whiskey in my glass cup. I wish this never happened. I wish I never told her how I felt, then maybe this wouldn't be happening. She is still in love with him. He is her boyfriend. Or rather he was her boyfriend before I came along. Perhaps, if she didn't get to know about the betrothal, she would have accepted his apology and accepted him back. I guess it's not so easy to get rid of her first love. I guess she misses how he used to kiss her. "Shit!" I voice out, slamming my fist on the counter and groaning in pain. I neveRelated chapters

Valentina's POVNetflixing for over two hours with a bowl of tasteless popcorn, I sigh deeply and take the phone and the cone of popcorn away.I am bored despite the movie. I have lost interest in almost everything and nothing seems to kill the boredom.Not even the popcorn.Maybe it's because it is tasteless.I am beginning to feel sick out of boredom. At first, I thought it was because I was in my room so I came over to Rocco's room so I could at least feel his presence but that only worked for a while because I am now dead bored.I need a walk.When I was unmarried and in a relationship with Fred, I barely felt bored but whenever I felt bored, the solution was easy.Fred. Or parties.I miss my old life. Not the relationship lifestyle but the enjoyable moments I had without having a cause to worry about anything.

Rocco's POVI ache so desperately for the remaining months so she can go and I can be back to my normal self.This is what she wants. If she wanted to be gone, then maybe she will be out of my mind as well.I hate this pathetic feeling in me.With my hand entwined with hers, we run all the way home. As soon as we are inside the massive gate, I let go of her hand and begin to walk faster so I can get away from her and away from the longing I feel.When I step inside, I hurry towards the staircase. I need to get rid of these clothes and have a hot shower before going to bed.I get to my door, open it and enter before proceeding to remove my clothes.

Rocco's POVValentina seems like one hell of an adventurous woman. The laughter that leaves her mouth gets me reeling in laughter too, not because I found the whole running funny but because her laughter is contagious.When we sober up, I stretch my hand at her where she is squatting to help her up. She stands up with my help and we walk quietly to the car with hands entangled.I open the door for her, and she flashes me a cute smile and gets in. Suddenly, the tension is back.As high as ever.I close the door when she is seated inside the car and turn to the other side to get in too.It is a failed attempt already so we need to re-strategize and come back next time. Dad is hiding something in there that I need to get my hands on.Sometimes, I just feel like I barely know him. Each time, his behavior seems to be different, especially whenever we argue.&n

Valentina's POVEverything inside of me is in disarray and I can't even think properly with him beside me and his hand holding onto mine firmly like I was going to be out of sight the next minute.Well, that's what I plan to do. I'm going off.The moment John enters the gate and halts in the driveway, I open the door, releasing my hand from his hand, and off I go, walking briskly towards the front door."Valentina?!" He calls and I begin to hear the sound of his approaching feet.I increase my pace and when I am inside, I rush towards the staircase, taking two at a time."Valentina?!" His voice booms from nowhere, louder than before, and I wonder how he managed to come this close within minutes.I do not stop. I am too embarrassed to look him in the face and tell him anything. I can't even think of anything to say.I don't even know what I want. The

Rocco's POVThe scowl I have on leaves my face the moment she stares up to meet my gaze. She looks so drunk and cute and I can't help but let my anger dissolve.She is good at getting me mad. Then the next minute, my anger will be gone."Who the hell was that?!" I question her. She laughs and shakes her head."I have no slightest idea", she doesn't look like she cares about who he is but I do.What if I wasn't here? What if I didn't come to the party with her, what would have happened?I know how much she loves parties and I wonder about all the crazy things she must have done before we got married.I know she had a boyfriend and obviously, she goes to parties with him but I can't help but worry about the sort of intimacy between them even after knowing that they never had sex.She twirls around with her back to me as she puts my hands a

Valentina's POVWith a groan and a banging headache, I step down from the bed, glancing around to see if Rocco came back to sleep here last night or not.The other bed is empty and seems untouched.Rubbing a finger on my forehead, I walk to the fridge to get some water. Suddenly, I remember I told Rocco to go out of the room last night which must be the reason why he didn't come back.Maybe he is in the other room.After drinking a glassful of water, I stroll to the door, the headache still very much present.I take the door out and move towards my room, wondering if he slept there or somewhere else.I was really harsh last night and I feel bad for sending him out of his room. I feel stupid for initiating the heated kiss which almost led to something else and I couldn't help my rudeness. I just don't want him to think otherwise.

Valentina's POVThe darkness of insecurity envelops me as I stare into his blue eyes, watching me intensely before sighing.This reaction that I get from him every single time is what makes me more curious about who the damn woman is. If I wasn't curious about her before now, what happened a few minutes ago is enough to make me more curious about her.Celina Sebastian is not a woman I like. I don't know if it's because I saw her with Fred or the fact that she had a past with Rocco.I keep telling myself that she must have dated Rocco in the past. I called her his ex-girlfriend but whenever I think deeply about this, I keep denying it because Rocco was never in a relationship which means there is something more to it.Rocco seems to dislike her. She seems to like him. What answer does that give me?I don't know. The more I ask these questions, the more confused and curious I be

Valentina's POVWarmth spread through my body at the thought of having a special day with him. It replaces the displeasure I felt for his actions earlier and I continue to take in his features as he stares out of the window till the car stops.Why is he always sweet and kind to me despite everything I have done?"Here we are", his deep voice interrupts my thoughts and he gets out of the car to open the door for me. "Close your eyes", he whispers into my ears the moment he pulls the car door open and leans fully in so that I can smell his lovely cologne.I do not oblige to his command but continue to watch him, wondering what it would feel like to be madly in love with him.Will he still be as sweet as he is to me right now? Will he be faithful like he is to me right now? Will he love me forever and not stop loving me for a second?The way I react to his touch tonight is
