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
CHAPTER 20 Alan's motorbike stopped beside the lighthouse that he brought Valerie to weeks ago. Their hands were intertwined with each other as they walked towards the lighthouse. The sounds of waves crashing from a distance, and frogs croaking could be heard. "I have a surprise for you," he said smiling and showing his perfect set of teeth.They strolled for two minutes before they reached their destination. It was a cabin, in a lone, and deserted area.Alan took out the keys to the cabin and opened the door.The cabin looked regular yet cozy. The cabin had hand-carved wooden furniture, a large bed, and a stone fireplace. There were only two windows in the small cabin. "I remember you telling me the other day that you usually brought your ex here, I didn't understand why, but seeing this cabin made me rethink," Valerie said, flopping herself on the bed as Alan went to light the fireplace."Well…do you like the cabin?" He asked, sitting next to her, and positioning himself prope
CHAPTER 21 Valerie tossed and turned in bed as she felt the rays of sunlight hit her face. She stirred up from her sleep and saw that she was alone on the bed. She cleaned the corners of her eyes with the back of her arm, as she removed herself from the bed cover, and stepped to check the window whether he was outside the cabin. She let out an annoyed huff as she grabbed the bedcover and wrapped it around her chest before turning the doorknob and leaving the room.She took a few steps away from the cabin and towards the ocean, where she could hear the waves hitting the rocky shore."Alan!" She called, but there was no answer"Alan!" "Al- ahh," she screamed as she felt a hand on her waist. She turned around to see Alan naked. His whole body was wet and as the sun shone on his body, his body glistened and images of last night clouded her memory."Stop, don't do that ever! You literally scared me," she whined, pouting.Alan cupped her face and kissed her cute little nose."I didn't me
CHAPTER 22Kai quickly removed the panties from his mouth, stuffed them in his pants pockets, and hid his hands behind his back. He wore an embarrassed look on his face as he had already been caught."What are you doing here?" He asked, angrily."I just caught you sniffing that whore's panties, and you dare ask me what I am doing here?"Kai rolled his eyes and scoffed."What do you want Asha?""I followed you here," "Why?" He asked "Because your sister asked me to. Nice to see you again cousin," "What do you mean she asked you to? Why doesn't she trust me?""Because you have a thing for Valerie? Take a hint cousin!" She yelled."Well, who wouldn't? She's hot as fuck," he replied, dusting himself and getting up.Asha sighed and replied, "Even I think she's hot. I want in," "We could have a threesome!" Kai squealed, and Asha looked at him, disgust evident in her expression."Ew. Absolutely not, I'm going to have her on my own," she replied, folding her arms across her chest."And o
CHAPTER 23FLASHBACK CONTD…"I want to join you to take revenge on the Carsons," Asha said.The cloaked woman stared at her for a few seconds before bursting into laughter. Asha didn't waver as she had already prepared a thousand reasons why she should be in on their plan. "Oh really? You want to take revenge on people that haven't done anything to you, now I want you to give me reasons why I should trust you," Asha cleared her throat and pressed her lips together, "because we are cousins," she said, and the woman laughed, unconsciously slapping her hands on her lap."This must be a joke. Yes, I know that we are cousins, you don't need to remind me a million and one times of how much of a burden you were, and now you want me to trust you because we are cousins?" She mocked"Yes," Asha replied."So, what's your catch? What do you hope to gain after that?" She asked, folding her arms on her chest."I want to be welcomed back into the family. That's all I ask," The woman searched Asha
CHAPTER 24Valerie and Alan played in the water for what seemed like hours before they finally left the ocean to go back into the cabin because the air was becoming chilly. Valerie wrapped the sheets around her body like a butterfly in a cocoon and Alan followed closely behind her, his strong arms wrapped loosely around her waist. Alan flopped himself on the bed, and Valerie lay down on his chest, facing the ceiling. His hands found their way into her hair and massaged her scalp, she let out a low hum as she nuzzled into his touch.The distress in her heart didn't match the calm expression on her face. She was worried for herself, Alan, and her child. Five years ago, she wouldn't have thought that she could find anything close to happiness, but now after having a taste of the happiness that she so seemed to crave, her heart started to become so heavy as it was occupied with rhetorical questions that may be answered with time.What now? What happens when Alex finds out? Because no se
CHAPTER 25Panic rose in Valerie's heart after Fareeda hung up. She jumped from the bed and started searching the place for her clothes, Alan wore an alarmed look on his face as he reached out to Valerie to stop her from panicking."Alex is back! We have to go okay? We'll just tell him that we went somewhere… In the meantime, Fareeda will cover up for us," She said, pulling up her pants."Calm down, Alex wouldn't do anything to you," he said, cupping her face in his hands."I'm not scared about what he'd do to me. I fear for what he'd do to you," she replied, a look of horror appearing on her face.~~~~~~~~~~CARSON ESTATEValerie raced upstairs as soon as she and Alan arrived at the estate. She burst her room door open, coming face to face with an angry and fierce Alex, pacing around the room with his hands on his chin. He rushed to Valerie, slamming her back against the door, his smelly hot breath fanning her face as he pressed her neck against the door.It wasn't even the fact that
CARSON ESTATEAlan flung the door open, sending Valerie flying to the other side of the room. "Oh wow, look it's Diego," Alex mocked before flopping himself on the bed.Alan rushed to where Valerie lay, clutching her stomach like her life depended on it. He placed his hands over her stomach, caressing the place that he felt was hurting her before lifting her and carrying her in bridal style. Alex propped himself on the bed while using his hands to support himself, he pursed his lips as if to say something and clicked his teeth. "You are the worst person ever Alex!" Alan spat, and Alex scoffed, "Nah, all that glory belongs to Adolf Hitler. I'd be glad to have his blessings though," "I will make sure you end up in jail for all your evil crimes," An evil smirk appeared on Alex's face as he made to reply to his brother but he decided to keep mute and watch him leave the room with Valerie.Alex wasn't a fool and no matter how any insider could convince him that Alan and Valerie were '
