Valentina's POV
The 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 beRelated chapters

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

Valentina's POVTangled in the comforter of Rocco's bed as my eyes open, a throbbing pain hits my head, reminding me of my hangover and what happened last night.Before I can think too deeply about it, I see a glass of water and two medicine on the side drawer that will help with the hangover. I quickly take it to gulp it down while sitting upright.I feel sore and I remember it all.I remember how he made passionate love to me last night and how his warm body felt against mine. I remember how he worshiped every part of my body and made me conscious of them. I remember how he kept on muttering my name and how beautiful I am.I remember how he was patient enough for me to reach the climax alongside him.I feel like I know a lot about sex because I read about it, we talk about it with Brenda but this feels different.Despite the bright smile that spread to my fa

Valentina's POVI flutter my eyes open and shut them back almost immediately. My head throbs and my eyes are weak.I try to lift my legs and I do so without any hassle. I try to lift my hands too and I did too.When I drop them back on the bed, I become weaker.Where the hell am I?I open my eyes again to see nothing but white ceilings with huge hanging white fans.Why is everything full of white? Where am I? Who am I?I take a couple of deep breaths, then I feel a comforting touch on my hand. Before I can turn to stare at who the person is, a shout of triumph fills the air."Valentina!" I hear them shout till I can see their faces. I recognize two of them but one of the faces seems unfamiliar."My baby, please say something!" my mother gushes at me. Even if I do not recognize her, her actions alone are enough to give it away that this is my mother.What happened to me?She takes the hand

Valentina's POVNo one believes me, not even my husband or my Father. If Mother didn't know about this, I would have assumed she doesn't believe me either because she keeps avoiding the topic.This is insane.This whole thing.Not me. I am fine. Absolutely fine. There is nothing wrong with me except for the bandage around my head."You have to believe me, Father", I point out in impatience. "I know what I am saying."He continues to remain silent, without looking shaken or shocked, making me wonder if he knows about this too.Where the hell did Mother hear it from? She was the one who told me and I was so sure Rocco wasn't aware. I was having my doubts about it as well until that incident.His Mother isn't even calling me and not picking up my calls. Everybody is looking at me like a crazy woman and I am desperate to see her now more than ever

Valentina's POVShe is either pretending or completely unaware of what happened in her presence that day.I won't take this as a yes to the doubt about my mental health. Don't crazy people know they are crazy?I am fine. Absolutely doing fine. There is nothing wrong with me or my brain. My brain is in perfect condition.Just like her usual self, she smiles at me sweetly as we are having dinner, passes me the salt, stretches the jug of fruit juice at me, and even pats my hand simply because she feels sorry for the bandage that is still over my head.I forget most times that I still have this damn thing on my head. The way it makes me so uncomfortable sometimes is what makes me remember while other times, it is when people flash me pitiful looks just like Rocco's mother is doing right now.I am picking at my food because I can't help the confusion I am feeling right now. I know I am right but I still don't know what else to think about a

Valentina's POVAbout my contract with Rocco, I am hundred percent sure my mother is responsible for telling Father. She can barely hide things from him even when he hides almost everything about himself away from her.If Mother knows the secret between him and Mr. Lorenzo then I won't bother myself so much just for him to tell me what it is.I won't be here again, determined to do whatever it takes for him to tell him the truth. This is the only way Rocco can believe me and this is the only way we can save his Mother.When I told him Anita was involved, he went ballistic with anger. I thought he was going to ask me why I said that or what I saw so I could explain but he became furious, he wouldn't even speak to me as we rode home in silence.Slowly, I am beginning to get tired of everything. I can't take any action so I won't jeopardize my life, my parent's life, and even Rocco's. He isn't seeing the efforts I am making in all of this.

Valentina's POVHis annoying optimism for the topic is irking. Not just the way he shows his disbelief in me but the fact that he keeps hoping and thinking it is nothing but a framed up story.I might be a bad person and a rebel but I would definitely not come up with a story like that just for me to achieve something.Rocco is an idiot.I meant what I said when I told him I was leaving but my heart irks so badly that I almost changed my mind and go back inside to tell him it was just a joke.But it is impossible. He would never take me seriously if I did that.I don't want to leave because I know how worried about him I would be. But I have no choice.With his lack of trust in me, I really do not know what else to do anymore. I don't know if I should just give up on this issue and begin to pretend like it never happened as he suggested.As the cab stops right in front of my parent's house, I catch a glimpse of a hu

Valentina's POVThe sadness lurking around his expression when he left the room to see the doctor is no longer there. It has been replaced with something unreadable but much more intense than the sorrows I could feel within him.Just from the fact that his Mother couldn't remember how she got here, I am beginning to put the puzzles together.At first, I thought it was all a pretense but now I see the reason why she never remembered my visit to the house and why she did not claim to have called me over.I see the reason why she never act as if I was there as a witness that morning.Something is definitely wrong somewhere. Something is fishy.I had slipped out of the room without her knowledge when the nurse signaled me to leave. I wanted to wait outside so I could ask Rocco all the questions I have.Suddenly, he looks straight into my eyes and I see it.This time, it isn't sorrow or sadness.What I can s
