Valerie

"Val, dear wake up. Shay is going to be here soon!" Dad yelled while knocking at my door. I sleepily raised myself in the hopes of waking up in an instant but it wasn't possible.

There was no denying the fact that I felt numb and cold from the inside. From somewhere deep inside I was hurting however cold inside me was turning me a bit stronger day by day. I knew very well that the day I lost the numbness and cold inside me, I was going to break down again. That's why I didn't want to lose the numbness inside of me. Right now it was what kept me alive, had me up working, it flamed my desire for revenge.

I wanted both of them to pay and I was going to do that on my terms even if in the end it would be me who would be torn and crushed into nothing.

"Val!" Dad yelled once again. "You have twenty mins to get ready before Shay shows up," he informed and I heard his receding steps. He sensed something was wrong but he had not said anything or maybe Shay had told him but asked him not

    Valerie As Shay and I reached the club, we headed straight for the bar. I was set in the mood to be wasted and so was Shay. We went for the shorts right away, had them kept coming our way until I could feel myself go lose. The beats were good enough to make me want to lose myself. I wanted to be free, calm, and wild. As I looked at the crowd on the floor, it made me smile. I wanted to be lost in the sea of bodies. Taking one last shot I dragged Shay to the dance floor. Our bodies swayed with the beats of the music. I was lost. I was free. I was whatever I wanted to be. My body swayed with every beat, I closed my eyes and let the music consume me. I didn't care who I danced with or whose body was next to mine, nor who grinded against me. I was in my own world. My hands my legs my hips they all tuned themselves with the beats. Carefree, wild, on my own with no burden on shoulders. It made me feel myself, as if I was in control of myself after so long. I wanted that, no I needed th

    Valerie I didn't look away, I held onto his stare. The guy behind me nipped my ear trying to gain my attention, but all my attention was on the brown-eyed guy who tore me apart. I grind against the guy behind me, raising my hand I reached for his hair giving me the permission to seduce me. My back to his front, my hips swaying to the beats and eyes on the man with the brown eyes. The mixed emotions of jealousy and sadness looming over his face made me feel better. The guy behind me trailed soft kisses from my ear down my neck. His hand roamed over my abdomen, just beneath my breasts. I enjoyed every second of it not because of his hands and lips, but because of the anger fuming in the eyes of Aiden. I wanted more, I wanted to hurt him more. "Water," I said huskily to the guy while stepping away from the guy. The guy nodded in agreement understanding me. I was thirsty but no amount of water could fulfill mine desire for revenge. I walked right next to him. Our eyes never breaking co

    ValerieAiden stared at me with wide eyes, his disbelief evident in the way his gaze lingered on me. I could sense his astonishment, perhaps a hint of hurt beneath the surface, but my own pain overshadowed any sympathy I might have felt for him. "Is it Laura you're imagining now, holding your dick, kissing you, your hands in her wet folds?" I pressed on, my words dripping with sarcasm and bitterness. "Was it always her whom you saw when you came inside of me? Is it her sweet face you're imagining right now? Is it the taste of her lips you taste on my lips?" I taunted, each question a dagger aimed directly at his heart. "Tell me, Aiden, how does it feel to be looking at me and thinking of her? Does it make you sad that I'm not her, but just someone like her, like your sweet and innocent Laura?" My voice was filled with venom, my words a calculated assault on his emotions. And then, with a sudden burst of rage, he pushed himself away from me, his eyes wide with shock and disbelief.

    ValerieMy head was pounding with excruciating pain. It felt as if someone had smashed my head over a wall, multiple times. I tried hard to open my eyes, but the brightness around me, felt like a hammer to my head. I groaned in pain, and tumbled over the sheets, smacking right into something. I touched it, and I felt skin. I searched my brain about any memories of bringing or being with anyone. The only memory that flashed my mind, was of Aiden. Well, there was that one hot guy dancing with me, but don't think I bought him home. I was drunk to the level where I hiccuped, well, both Shay and I... Shay! Where is she?"Get off me, you fat ass," The body, next to me, groaned."And, why in the hell is your room so fucking bright?" She kind of yelled, while rolling away from me.I’m an idiot... Of course! Who would be beside me in bed, aside from Shay?And, I was asking the same question she was. Why was it so bright in here?"Because, it is freaking noon, you two," My father's voice boomed

    Valerie"I can practically hear the gears turning in your head from across the table, Val," Shay remarked, breaking the silence of my dull and monotonous office. "What's got you so absorbed, huh? Don't even think about saying 'nothing.' Your office is like a vacuum of excitement, and right now, all I can hear is your brain on overdrive." I couldn't help but roll my eyes at Shay's teasing, but deep down, I knew she was right. My office was as dull as dishwater, and her presence was like a much-needed injection of energy. "I was just contemplating breaking into someone's mansion," I admitted, allowing my thoughts to spill out. The idea of exacting revenge on Drew had been consuming me lately. I wanted to expose his true colors to Laura, but not before making him suffer for what he did to me. I wanted him to experience a taste of the hell he brought upon himself by using me. Throughout our relationship, I had learned one crucial detail about Drew: he was obsessed with expensive watch

    Valerie As I stepped into the familiar lobby of Aiden's building, a sense of anticipation mingled with apprehension washed over me. Despite the turmoil raging within, the sight of Maya, the cheerful blonde who had once guided me through these halls, brought a small, albeit forced smile to my lips. "Hey," Maya greeted me warmly, her eyes alight with genuine pleasure at my unexpected visit. "Hey, Maya. I need some time with your CEO. Could you help me surprise him with a visit and ensure his secretary – whoever it is – disappears for a while?" I whispered, my voice dripping with sweetness as I leaned in closer. Maya's eyebrows shot up in surprise, her curiosity piqued by my mysterious request. Ignorant of the true nature of my intentions, she readily agreed, eager to facilitate what she believed to be a romantic rendezvous between Aiden and me. "I've asked Jerry to step out for a bit. Mr. Aiden's been swamped with work lately, and I think he could use a break. So, take as much time

    AidenThe weight of her gaze bore into me, each moment feeling like a crushing weight upon my chest. Those eyes, once so full of warmth and affection, now held a pain I had inflicted. Regret gnawed at me, twisting my insides as I realized the depth of the wounds I had caused her. It was my words, my actions that had driven her to this desperate state, and I was terrified for her.She asked for something I couldn't give, something that would only push her further away, rending her soul even more fragile. Yet, the touch of her skin against mine ignited a desperate longing within me, urging me to lie, to deceive her, in a feeble attempt to shield her from the harsh truth. I cursed myself for wanting her, for trying to absolve myself of guilt when none existed. Time couldn't be rewound, promises made couldn't be unspoken, and the truth would only inflict further wounds upon her already battered heart.The love that once bound us felt like a distant memory as I watched her bend down and pr

    Aiden Valerie stared at me with her cold eyes."Explain yourself," Val's voice sliced through the heavy silence like a knife, her demand hanging in the air between us like an accusation. It was the moment I had been dreading, the moment where I would have to lay bare the darkest corners of my soul and face the consequences of my actions. Taking a deep breath, I squared my shoulders, preparing myself for the inevitable fallout. This was the hardest part, the moment where I would tear away any remnants of affection she still held for me by revealing the truth. "Laura chose Drew over me that day," I began, the words heavy with the weight of regret. "I knew that there wasn't any hope left for me and her. I wanted to drown in my pain and sorrow... that was when I saw you." I paused, the memory of that fateful night crashing over me like a tidal wave. Val, so much like Laura yet undeniably herself, had been a beacon of light in the darkness of my despair. But in my twisted, alcohol-fuele

    Valerie Aiden never backed down from his promise. Every day he proposed to me even if he remembered it at an ungodly hour. There wasn't a day skipped. He pampered me, put me first and I kind of expected for it to go for six months and then come to an end but it never did. He never stopped loving me and spoiling me and our kid. Six months passed and they did very fast with Neal and everyone else just trying to be with him. The house was filled with someone or other and then mom and dad moved out but Travis moved in. Every day had been a new day filled with new experiences, some good some bad. One of them was Neal's first word which wasn't mama or dada but poop. I was really surprised when he said that, kind of laughed out loud at that but minutes later I didn't find it funny. He had really popped. I was kind of glad he learned that word first then any other word. At least he could warn us before bombing the diaper. Aiden missed his first word but Neal's first step was taken with him. A

    Valerie "Hey, it’s just me," He said while standing up and coming close to me."You just scared me. What are you doing here the rest of the people are out there. They will be waiting for us." I rushed out on the last few words."They can wait for a moment. You know I have to do our daily custom right now." He said smiling. He took out a box from his pocket and went down his knee."Are you ready for this Val?" I nodded trying to seem normal as I always did."Valerie Crawford would you please marry me and give me the immense pleasure of being your husband." He proposed like he did every day from the past two years. You guys must be confused let me explain it to you and give you a recap.So I hope you might remember him asking me to marry him when our baby boy was born. Well, things didn't happen the way Aiden wanted."Please marry me now," He pleaded with tears in his eyes getting on his knees while our baby screamed for attention. I was on the verge of saying yes but the cries of the

    Valerie "I think you should get changed, Val. You smell like vegetables." Carmen said to me laughing and I seriously smelled myself. I stink and reeked of spices and boiled vegetables. It wasn't a pleasant smell people."Thanks, you sure you won't need my help for a while because I seriously have got to take a bath," I asked her in hopes that she won't have more work for me. It was mean and bad for me to pray for something like that but handling a toddler while working and preparing for an event wasn't easy. I needed a relaxing bath."Sure honey, I'm mostly done here. The meat is cooking and I will be just taking that pie out and leaving it to rest. I myself would be heading to play with my grandson." She told me and I felt less guilty. I was so thankful for her handling everything like a pro. She shooed me away to my room to take a bath and told me not to worry at all. I entered Aiden's and my room. I had renovated it up to my and Aiden's tastes just a few months back with Neal's ro

    ValerieAlmost 2 Years later............"Granpa!," Neal squealed running towards the door just to be picked up by Travis and hauled up in the air. Every time he did that I could feel my heart in my mouth. It was only when he would catch him I would breathe a sigh of relief."Dad, what did I tell you about doing that to him?" Travis looked almost guilty under that smile of his. Over the past two years, I have decided to call both of them dad. I was so tired of calling them by their names. At first, it was confusing but then they certainly got the hang of whom I was calling."He is fine Val and he loves when I do that. Don't you champ?" He asked Neal who only gave me a big smile. That boy was getting spoiled bad. I shook my head and saw Carmen and Bryan coming behind Travis."Neal!" Bryan yelled with excitement and that boy was moving from Travis's arms to Bryan's who kissed him all over his face making him laugh. Carmen and Bryan got married six months after Neal was born. It was real

    "Are you alright?" Shay asked with worry etched over her face. She had been ignoring her work for past few weeks to stay with me as Aiden had some important project having him stay at the office for a while. Travis was at his office and Bryan with Carmen had gone to the restaurant to check the new supplies that were coming in today. It was only me and Shay and I really didn't want her to worry about me a lot. She was going to develop wrinkles."Yeah, just catching my breath. You know getting up straight is also a tiresome task nowadays. How about you help me sit straight I feel like going to the bathroom. My bladder is going to blast." I laughed trying to ease her worries as she helped me stand I felt the pain again but decided to ignore it. With a slow pace like that of a snail, I reached to my room and walked into the bathroom. As soon as I sat on the pot I felt water rushing out of me. I thought I just peed and was thankful of reaching bathroom on time until the pain hit me making

    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
