"My pancakes!" Dad yelled. rushing to the kitchen to me and Carmen just in tow.

I rushed towards opening the windows to get the burnt smell out while Carmen did the same. Looking at the burnt and deformed pancake that dad was holding we all burst into laughter. After that, we all enjoyed the breakfast together. Carmen joined us and it was really nice. I don't know why but I felt that this place was complete as a home. At times, I found Carmen staring at my dad or the other way around. I knew it had been long since mom was gone. From what dad had told me, he hadn't been with anyone for almost a year after mom's death. Carmen and Dad were similar by nature. I guess they both couldn't have children and had broken hearts too. I could see myself playing the matchmaker. I left both of them behind by rushing out of there saying I was hell late which I was not at all. I hoped everything went well between them.

  • Love A Lie : The Billionaires Betrayal    Chapter 20

    Valerie Drew sat in front of me with Laura beside him. I had to do control myself to not look at him. All I wanted to do was beat the shit out of him. Laura on the other hand, looked excited and happy like every other bride to be. It was a shame that she was marrying a douche like him. Drew had the guts to stare at me straight into the eyes. I did feel uncomfortable under Drew’s gaze, not because we were lovers in the past but it looked like he was practically undressing me under his gaze. IT had been years since he left me but I still remebered how he acted. His this action made me want to kill Drew and bury six feet under my grandma's grave so that she could haunt him. As I composed myself, I directed all of my attention towards Laura, I knew it would eventually piss Drew off. he had a very big and his ego didn;t like to ignored at all. Moreover his shitty face wasn't going to do great deals for me now until I was punhcing it. "So Laura, as we talked earlier about the decorati

    Valerie. Drew was a selfish man and class a idiot. He never knew where to stop. "I like the fire in your eyes Val’, it's quite new, refreshing, and revolting. You know what it makes me feel like?" His husky voice tormenting my ears, making me burn in raging anger. In an instant, he took hold of my hand and had it pressed against the front of his pants. "You see what you do to me, Val? Even after past these years, you have the same effect on me. I eventually regret letting you go my sweet Val." He said huskily while caressing my cheek. In that moment the anger I was holding back unleashed. Like any other woman I didn't take the pleasure of slapping him, I decided for far worse. The very hand he had pressed over his hard-on was the tormenter of the painful groan that escaped his lips. I crushed that part of his male anatomy with a far more strength than I would crush a paper ball. His face quivered in pain while a very painful groan was on its way to leave his lips. His hand caress

    Valerie Tumbled in the sheets, tangled up with Aiden, I lay on the bed panting in the aftermath of a passionate lovemaking. The man was a passionate lover, there is no way in the world anyone could be compared to him or his high libido. He is the dominant one in the bed and I loved it more than anything. He tamed a bitch like me, crumbled down the walls that protected my heart and that is enough to let me know he is the perfect man for me. Raising myself on the elbow I looked at Aiden, lying in all his naked glory. Breathing heavily and bathing in the sunlight he looked like a king, a king I was very proud to be involved with. Aiden’s touch was like magic, making me forget the anger built from my encounter with Drew. "So, did you miss me this much that we ended up in an intense lovemaking at noon?" He asked catching his breath. His question took me to the mood that I came to him with. He sensed the shift in my mood and sat up while covering us both with the sheet. "What's bothering

    Valerie I was running late in the evening when Aiden dropped me off at my house after a lot of begging. My clothes were, unfortunately, wrinkled and I was glad that I showered at Aiden's. I would have died of embarrassment by going to my house where my dad is staying reeking of sex. I had asked, scratch that, I actually begged not to do anything wrong and harsh. I made him promise that he was going to stay away from Drew. I had taught him a lesson and if more was needed to be done I would do that myself. There was no way in hell I was having him involved in something he was not a part of. Opening the door of my house I was delighted to see my dad and Carmen talking with a beer in their hands. A smile broke out on my face while the same vanished from there and was replaced by a serious look. Confusion took over me. "Where were you, young lady? It's eight in the evening. Don't you think a call would have been sufficient to tell me about your whereabouts?" Dad said in a stern tone. "

    Valerie Sleep surely didn't come easily to me after hearing the voice of the asshole. Drew could rot in hell for all I cared but Laura was another thing. The flames of anger engulfed me keeping me awake. How could my life become this difficult? The thought of meeting Drew itself repulsed me, going to his office was another level thing. I don't know where he got the audacity to make such a move in my own office, my territory, with his fiance not so far away. "Uhh," I groaned in annoyance. I knew going to his territory would be more like serving myself on a silver platter for him to use. It was his territory and he could do a lot more worse than he could do today. Men like him were not accustomed to denial and today in my office I had denied him the pleasure of getting me where he wanted, which was right under him. The memory of that moment flashed in my mind and I cringed at the thought. It was unpleasant and down right filthy. That man had no shame, nothing scared him. The worst

    Valerie The silence on the other hand had stilled a tiny fear inside of me. Did I say too much? Was my best friend now raging mad at me? The clanking and crashing sound could be heard from the other side. "Shay, are you fine?" No response. “Shay?” I called out her again. "I'm just taking the baseball bat out Valerie! I’m going to beat the shit out of that fucking Drew!!" She shouted through the phone making me cringe and almost making me lose my ear drum. "And about that cooking," she paused. "I will let you know when you can do that to earn your forgiveness." I was confused by her words. She never said no to food or cooking. "I need to clean the kitchen; my boyfriend and I christened it quite a few times and might be doing it for quite a few more." I cringed at the thought of making the food there. "Shay leave the kitchen out," I groaned thinking about cooking there. How much would I have to wipe it down. "And please for the love of me don't use utensils for your k

    Valerie The day passed in of the morning passed in a blur. Dad, Carmen and I had breakfast together. Seeing Carmen at my house in the morning was surely not a shock , I knew how lonely she felt in her house and she was not a cat person. Dad being of her age might have resulted in forming a friendship that she wanted. Even my dad needed company and I couldn't always be here. I am glad they found each other and I was aiming for them to grow into a couple too. My better half of the day was spent in my office drowned in files and meetings. My boss was quite happy with my work had given me one more business event to work on which was to be held just a week later. My mind was in havoc by the time the clock stroked two in the afternoon. I had missed my lunch and was pretty much tired. Melanie, being the best secretary, was able to give me some time to relax by pushing the last meeting with the caterers for the next day. My lunch got interrupted by the ringing of my phone making me wa

    Valerie I had barely had gotten the relief to think that I will not have to worry about Drew when my phone rang again. Uhh, what the hell. I didn't want to pick the call but I knew I had to. He was threatning me. My job and a lot more was on reputation, on the line. "If you dare to cut my call I will ruin you my dear, Val," his words made me pause. "Here is the sweet deal Val," he paused. "If you don't come and see me within an hour I will call Laura and tell her that you made a pass on me when she was out to attend the call, that is why I was angry and furious when we left your office yesterday but right now I'm calm so I'm giving you one last opportunity." He spoke without shame. I wanted to slap him. "I'm quite sure Laura would believe anything I say. I mean she always believes my every word," he chuckled. "She would still marry me and I will be at no loss, but for you I see a great deal of loss, your employer will surely lose this contract because of you, the shame a

    Valerie "I feel like a whale," I told to Shay, who sat at the end of the sofa while I laid on the couch with the remote for the tv. I was going to be around nine months pregnant in a week and this little buddy was going to come out soon. A lot has changed in last six months. I was no longer living in my apartment. Bryan had bought a new house which was closer to Travis and Aiden's house.The nursery was ready with hues of yellow and blue. Aiden and I had grown close but there had been nothing more than kisses and holding each other. The new house had many rooms and one of them was Aiden’s but he usually slept with me. He didn't go to his apartment often and just stayed here with me. He didn't want to miss any part of the baby and me being pregnant. He had warmed up to my heart, but hadn't been able to get that place back in my heart. His relationship with his mother was still rocky but they were at least talking. Whereas Laura and Aiden had drifted worlds apart.Laura had a breakdown

    ValerieGod, this had to happen with me only. I groaned internally. this was right embarrassing. I felt Aiden sleeping on my legs with his hand feeling heavy on my belly. Besides it, I realize one more thing which was that I was going to puke. I felt it was coming, I knew it was and before I know I quickly pushing Aiden away and rushing to the bathroom kissing the porcelain seat. I puked and puked then brushed my teeth, gargled with mouthwash to get rid of that vile taste of bile. Being pregnant was not an easy task. "You have been caught red handed Aiden." It was Shay who was talking when I reached back to the living room. Aiden was on the floor rubbing his head. In my run to the bathroom, I might have pushed him a little too hard. Carmen stared at him while Shay busy staring at his share of uneaten food and smoothie. "I think we should have clicked the picture of the two together first," Carmen spoke without caring about the food. "Carmen she was eating mozzarella sticks and d

    Aiden held my face and kissed me. I was stunned. I should have pulled back but I couldn't. I just couldn't. I was responding to his kiss, tasting our tears in it. Our kiss was passionate, our lips hungry for each other. It was a kiss filled with love and passion but yet soft. I could feel every part of my body needing his touch. It was wrong and yet it felt so right to do it. I was being lifted and pushed on my back. Our kiss never breaking. His torso in between my legs and my legs wrapped around him. His face in my hand and he took control over our kiss. Our tongues danced in sync. I was breathing heavily, I was feeling a need and then suddenly out of nowhere Laura popped up in my mind and the moment was lost from my side. My body stilled. My lips no longer responding to his and we break apart from our kiss. His eyes looked into mine searching for what stopped me. "What happened Val?" He asked concerned and worried. I closed my eyes and touch my lips. I knew that kiss we just had wa

    Valerie "You... you what?" I finally managed to choke out."I didn’t know what else to do," he said, tears streaming down his face. "She was crying, Val. She was so upset, and I just wanted to make it better. I thought if I agreed, she’d be happy, and things would calm down. But I didn’t mean it. I don’t want to marry Laura. I don’t want to be with anyone but you."His words swirled around in my mind, but I couldn’t make sense of them. He had agreed to marry Laura? How could he do that to me, to us? I felt a surge of anger and betrayal."You agreed to marry her?" I repeated, my voice shaking. "How could you, Aiden? How could you do that to us?""I didn’t mean it," he pleaded. "I was just trying to calm her down. I don’t want to marry Laura. I love you, Val. You and our baby are everything to me.""But you said yes," I said, my voice rising. "You told her you’d marry Laura. Do you have any idea how that makes me feel? Do you even care about what I want, what I need?""Of course, I car

    I waited for Aiden to speak something. I wasn;t a patient being but with him I was trying to be. I could see he was fighitng a battle on the inside buit I couldn;t do anytging until he spoke himself. "Mom dropped by the office today," he began. "She demanded to know when I was marrying you," that was literally nothing new. Why ouldn;t the woman get the hint that it wasn;t happening. "I told her it was none of her business, and she went ballistic, telling me that wasn’t the way I should speak to her." I still hated that woman. Travis had made sure she left me alone, even cutting ties with her. Aiden had tried to do the same, but she was his mother, and it was hard for him. I didn’t want him to cut her off for my sake anyway. He had a mother, and although she was mean and self-centered, no son should be separated from his mother. I wouldn;t want my child to be serpated from me like that. "Then she said that if we weren’t getting married, I should marry Laura." I was stunned. I looked

    ValerieAs the doorbell rang happiness surged inside of me. At last, my angel came.Opening the door wide my whole concentration was on the packets in his hand rather than on him. Taking the packets for him I just went inside straight to the kitchen without a hello or anything.I just wanted to devour what was inside that packet before Carmen or Shay caught me. Carmen would literally fry me if she knew that I was busy eating fried mozzarella sticks that too with a vanilla chocolate smoothie. I heard the door close and him coming to the kitchen.This had become our norm, I would rush to the kitchen with the food and set each of us with a plate, mine always had a little a more than his. Whatever I ate, he had to eat that too, it was a part in a way for him to become the part of my pregnancy. I hadn;t lied to him when I had said that he would be a part of this preganncy in every step. As I looked up to see where he was I found his near the kitchen door. He stood there smiling at me wi

    Valerie Two months later..................."Why," I questioned. "Why now," I was almost near to pnaick. "Why?" My father asked. "What do you mean by why. We are just going to meet each other and Bryan called me here to meet with him, Valerie. I think we should have talked to each other months back." Dad said while standing at the entrance of the house and by dad I meant Travis. I called them both dad but this was going to be first freaking time they were going be together face to face. I won't lie this whole dad one and dad two concept was so confusing for me. I have already told them if they ever were in the same room I will call them by their name rather than Dad. I haven't let them meet each other until now. If you remember when Bryan met Laura's father he beat the shit out of him. I don't want a recap of that with Travis. Gosh I still cringed thinking how beat up Laura's father was after Bryan's beating. "I'm having a bad feeling about this." I really was not going to tend t

    Valerie "I.. never knew." a tremble in his voice made me believe that he really had no idea that what had happened."When my father came to know that I wasn't his he decided to hurt my mother by having affairs and dangling them in front of her," I paused taking in deep breaths. "My mother loved my father a lot but she understood what she had done," I continued even though all the memories were painful."She knew that she had hurt him too much, betrayed him. So she decided not to fight with Dad, she fought with the pain she suffered but she didn't give up easily. For four years she lived on knowing how her husband was cheating and hurting her. She lived for me until the day it became too much to handle." A tear escaped my eyes as I remembered finding her dead. The memory was ingrained in my brain for the rest of my life. Looking up to Travis I saw his eyes turned away from mine. He couldn't even look at me anymore.If only he had been brave enough to do the test last time this wouldn'

    ValerieI waited for him in the cafe near my office, and let me tell you it was torture. The smell of coffee was in the air and it was hard to not have it. So I did the right thing and ordered one latte for me. I googled and even my doctor said a cup a day won't do any harm but under the watchful eye of Carmen, Shay, and dad I couldn't even have a whiff of coffee. One little sip of it was heaven for me. It had been six days since the thought of meeting him has been taking over my mind. The last I had seen him was a week before.Last night I had asked Aiden for his number when he came home with me. Aiden did really give me space and time. He called before even thinking of coming and he apologized times and again because of his mother showing up here. I really didn't say much about what happened between me and his mother. The only words that slipped my lips was that I didn't like her and he had promised that she won't disturb me anymore. I had called Travis and asked him to meet me at t
