CHAPTER 12: MARKING A CARSONThe cloaked woman paced around her small, dark office, her steps echoing through the quiet room. The man who had shot at Valerie lay on the floor, held by ropes. He was groaning and writhing in pain. The woman paid him no mind, too consumed by her thoughts to care about what he was feeling."I told you not to shoot at Valerie! " she screamed. "I received orders, boss, " he yelled back, trying to stop the tears from flowing down his cheek"Orders from who? you moron. I am the only one who gives orders here! You take none from nobody, nobody has any right to give you lots orders," She rushed to where the man lay and grabbed his shirt. "Did she die? Is she dead? " she shouted and the man trembled in fear as the echo of her voice rang in his ear. He shook his head as his lips quivered. "I gave him the order Ximena! " a loud voice echoed in the corner of the room, and everyone looked up to see who it was. She rushed to him, grabbing him by the collar. "Don
CHAPTER THIRTEEN: NEGOTIATIONSLATER THAT EVENING"Valerie, you are supposed to be on bed rest," Alan said, seeing Valerie take slow steps towards him in the Estate parking lot, he rushed to assist her, placing one hand on her waist and the other on her shoulder and then opening the car door for her to sit inside. "You didn't tell me you were leaving for London now. You could have stopped to say goodbye," Valerie said sadly"I'm not leaving yet, I still have other things to do in LA. Did Alex come to see you already? " Valerie shook her head to say no and he let out an annoyed sigh. "He must be busy with Mini, " Valerie said sadly before forcing a smile."Busy with Mini?" He asked, and Valerie remembered that she hadn't told him that Alex was having an affair"Alex is sleeping with her, I guess she was who he was speaking with on the phone about wanting to elope," "That's not fair," he said softly, tucking a strand of her hair behind her ears. Tears pricked the corner of her eyes.
CHAPTER FOURTEEN: LUST AND FERVORThe door squeaked open and the cloaked woman came into view. Her dyed blond hair was swept in a ponytail and her makeup was cleaned off to reveal her fresh, young, and beautiful face. "Mini, " she greeted, taking graceful strides toward where she sat. Mini was an embodiment of beauty, she had impressive teal green eyes, beautiful pale skin, curly red hair, full red lips, and charming dimples that lit up her eyes whenever she smiled, she was beautiful but would not be considered nearly as beautiful as Valerie. When photos of Mini and Alex were leaked, the board of directors voted for Mini to be fired from the company, but Alex had no plans to let her go, as she was one of his favorite side chicks. For someone who would willingly go down on Alex, Alex was never going to let her go, He was smitten to the bone.Mini sat on the swivel chair in the cloak woman's office, her hand on her chin as she stared her and Dreg down."Have you come here to honor o
CHAPTER FIFTEEN: SURGE OF EMOTIONSValerie pulled away from Alan abruptly, staring toward the area that she had seen flashes from, her heart grew heavy as she managed to make out words, but she soon burst into tears. Alan cupped her face in his palms, directing her head to meet his eyes, the expression on his face was a mix of confusion, worry, and sadness. "Someone saw us, Alan," she cried, hyperventilating. "It's okay, calm down. Nothing will happen to you, " "I'm not worried about myself Alan, I am most worried for you. I don't want anything to happen to you… you are my friend, " she said, sniffing. Alan stared at her for a few seconds and slowly removed his hands from her face. "Friend? " he asked slowly, a confused and sad expression on his face, he got up and stood in front of her, nodding his head as tears welled up in his eyes. "Do you kiss your friends Valerie? " he asked, and she gave no answer, she only avoided his stares. "Do you kiss your friends Val! " he shouted,
CHAPTER 16 Alan pressed Valerie against the door, her legs wrapped around his waist and her hands wrapped around his neck, deepening the kiss. Still holding her up against the wall, he slipped his hands into her panties, His fingers danced around her vulva, and he gently put one into her cunt, concentrating on all of her arousal on his finger. Alan dropped to his knees and started going down on her, his tongue forcing its way through her clean-shaven vulva and darting into her- his tongue entering her hot and wet pussy. Moaning, Valerie bit her bottom lip gently, observing as Alan leaned in close to her pussy and lining circles around the outer part of her vulva. Her circles tightened as he reached closer and closer to her. Finally, his tongue reached her clit, and Valerie let out a stifled moan, the back of her hand hitting the wall painfully. Alan sighed, lifting her and placing her carefully on the bed as he resumed his former position between her legs, his tongue sending a f
CHAPTER 17Valerie sat on the plush sofa in the estate lobby with a blanket wrapped around her. Her hair was disheveled, and her body was stained with blood, she held on tight to the blanket, sniffling and hyperventilating. She watched as the police were swarming the house, the sheriff stood by the stairs with a notepad and a pen in his hands while he was talking to Alan. Valerie bit her lower lip whilst she rocked herself on the sofa. It has been almost two hours since Valerie was found passed out in the room where they kept Logan, and Monica hasn't been seen since then. Now Monica was the prime suspect, but Valerie did not believe that Monica would be the mastermind behind all those crimes. She was too foolish to be a criminal. Maybe that was what she wanted them to think. Perhaps Monica's act of appearing senseless was just a facade to divert suspicion away from herself.Valerie approached the sheriff and Alan, observing their serious expressions and hushed conversation. She c
CHAPTER 18Valerie and Alan got to the penthouse that was rented for Toby, and she couldn't close her mouth when she saw the horrible sight that was before them. Blood splattered on the bed, deep tear marks on his legs, arms, and stomach, and his head hung on the coat rack near his bed.Valerie wore a solemn look as she folded into Alan's arms, burying her head in his chest and sobbing loudly."Why would Monica do this to me?" She asked, balling her small fists and hitting them on Alan's shoulders. "Why does she keep punishing me? What have I done to her? I have been so nice to her, I treated everyone as I treated Fareeda. Why is she causing me so much pain Alan? I can't bear this anymore," she wailed, tears streaming down her face and catarrh trickling from her nostrils down to her chin. The sheriff entered the room and sighed."Mrs Carson, I am so sorry for your loss but Monica cannot be blamed for what she did not do," Hearing that made Valerie's blood boil, she took deep breat
CHAPTER 19"Nice to meet you Kai, and thank you for coming," she said genuinely as they walked back to the cemetery gates where Alan was waiting for her."You are welcome ma'am," "Oh stop, You can call me Valerie," she said pleasantly. He smiled at her before continuing with what he was saying."You are very kind," he said and she laughed half-heartedly."Many people don't think so, but I'm glad that you do," "Why wouldn't they? I have heard a lot about you, beautiful, sweet, and lovely. I guess they were not hearsays after all," he said, Valerie's cheeks went red from blushing very hard, and she let out a small chuckle."You flatter me, thank you very much," she said with a wide smile on her face.She noticed that they had already reached the cemetery gates, and Alan already turned the car around and was watching her- jealousy evident in his expression. Their eyes met and Alan looked away from her."You're welcome. I hope to see more of you," he said"As do I. I've got to go now…I
