2023-03-03 19:00:39It turned out that tonight Valerie had to work late. She took a deep breath as she repeatedly looked to the left, the place where the bus she was waiting for should have appeared. The bus was supposed to have arrived half an hour ago, but it was almost ten at night and the bus was still not in sight.
The atmosphere at the bus stop was dark and eerie, making Valerie feel uncomfortable. She hugged her own body as the chill hit her, sending goosebumps on her back. The air grew colder when the rain started to fall, making Valerie even more anxious. She could have waited for a taxi, but even on this silent night there were no taxis, while motorists were only passing by rarely. It seems like the cold night and light rain make people lazy to go out of the house.Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, Valerie caught a crowd of people walking towards her. As they got closer, Valerie was worried because it was a bunch of young men with indistinct make-up, piercings here and there andRelated chapters

When Valerie got home, it was raining heavily and stabbed the earth with a loud sound, the water crashing along with the wind. The taxi stopped in front of her house. After she paid, Valerie jogged through the rain to her porch. Her whole head was drenched, but her body was protected by the thick coat of her mysterious helper so that it could remain dry. Even though the coat was now drenched in water and dripping on the terrace floor.Valerie tossed her wet hair and tried to find the keys to her house. She wanted to hurry in and dry herself off, perhaps making a cup of warm chocolate milk to drink. Actually Valerie prefers a cup of coffee, but coffee makes her sleepless, while she must sleep enough tonight.She opened the door and stepped inside, then locked the door behind her. She took off the coat which was now heavy and wet from the rain and she embraced it. The scent of wood and musk lingered over her, making her feel good. Valerie walked over to the kitchen and put the

“This morning he will come!” Charlotte walked over to Valerie's table and whispered excitedly.“Who?” Valerie frowned.She just checked her phone and still no message from George. Was George so busy that he did not have time to contact her?“Manuel Alvaro!” Charlotte really couldn't hide her enthusiasm. “Did you know he just broke up with that Thailand model? Now he's single.”Valerie chuckled. “Even if he is single, the person who will fill the position of his girlfriend later is definitely not from among us.”Charlotte nodded her head in agreement while chuckling too. “Yeah, but I am excited to know that I can see him in person anyway. You know, all the news says he's so handsome, I want to see the real him.”“Seems just as handsome.” Valerie took a deep breath, then glanced at her phone again.Charlotte seemed to have noticed something was bothering Valerie. “Why, Val?”“I’m okay.”“Ah, come on, I see that in the last few minutes you've glanced

Charlotte did scream hysterically when Valerie told her about Manuel's last greeting.“He greeted you? Did he really say hi to you?” Charlotte said in a high voice, so that Valerie had to nudge her because everyone in the cafeteria turned their heads to them.“He said I really reminded her of someone.” Valerie pondered while supporting her chin. “He also emphasized the word ‘really’, not just mediocre.”“Maybe you look like his ex-girlfriend,” Charlotte began to imagine. “Maybe he then decided to approach you, and within six months while Manuel is here you can win over him. Imagine, an ordinary staff can reach the heart of the person with the highest position in the company. It's like a cinderella story!”“And cinderella stories like that are mostly very rare,” Valerie interrupted quickly.“Who says it?” Charlotte smiled knowingly. “Very rarely doesn't mean it doesn't happen, right? Do you know who Angela Alvaro is, Manuel's mother and Ruben Alvaro's wife? She us

Manuel seems to be receiving their important guest, James Cliff, in his room. The news was blowing because since this morning there had been a rush at the office, many people were passing by to prepare everything.Well, Valerie still remembered the old man, who was carrying a line of bodyguards dressed the same with the same flat face as a robot. The contract with James is the most successful one their branch has ever signed, which is why having James in the office to meet Manuel is so important.Mr. McLean, Valerie's own immediate superior, seemed very busy. Valerie saw the stocky body of the foreigner pacing in his room, sometimes busy calling someone, sometimes looking for files. Until then, the man came out of the room.“Valerie!” the man called out, causing Valerie to immediately stand up.“Yes sir?”“Come here for a moment.”While adjusting her skirt, Valerie stepped out and entered Mr. McLean's room. The man was already sitting behind his desk and invi

“So you were helped by one of Mr James's bodyguards? What a happy coincidence. Is he handsome?” Charlotte immediately asked while chewing on her french fries.They decided to watch a movie after work because Charlotte wanted to hear the whole story about the handsome Manuel, but then Valerie changed the subject and started talking about Jose Santiago.“He's very handsome, and has a mysterious aura.” Valerie took a deep breath. “I am grateful that the man happened to be there at that time. The gang of thugs was so terrifying, even the leader grabbed me roughly by the wrist, causing bruises afterward.”Valerie showed off the faded bruises. Charlotte shuddered at what happened to Valerie.“For tomorrow and the next, if you come home too late, just call me. I'll be happy to accompany you, after all there is nothing I can do in my apartment alone.”Charlotte does live alone in this city, in an apartment. She seemed lonely because she said her parents and the rest of her family were far awa

Valerie was working on corrections to an important contract clause when she saw from the corner of her eye that Manuel was approaching her.“Busy, Valerie?” the man greeted casually.Valerie raised her head and sighed inwardly. Even though she had seen Manuel countless times, she still gasped as she looked directly into those beautiful blue eyes. This man was too handsome and dangerous, a creature like this should not be allowed to roam around and prey on defenseless girls.“I do my job as usual.” Valerie frowned when she realized that Manuel seemed to want to ask something. “Is there anything I can help?” she asked.Manuel nodded his head. “Every time I see you, I always think you are very similar to someone, but I have not been able to find who you look like.”“Maybe just an ordinary resemblance. It's said that all over the world we have nine twins with the same faces.” Valerie smiled, observing Manuel who looked very curious.Manuel took a deep breath. “That is right, but still it

It was almost seven in the evening when Valerie placed the gold bracelet with crystal embellishments on her wrist. The bracelet is in her jewelry box and Valerie can't remember when she bought it. The bracelet was just there, until Valerie thought it was one of the things her late mother had kept by her father.Valerie looked at herself in the mirror and took a deep breath. She suddenly felt very nervous. Jose's aura was able to make her so nervous and embarrassed, even just imagining it.Jose is a dangerous man, of course; Valerie frowned, realizing that the man was working as a bodyguard for Mr. James who had many enemies. Of course Jose's job is also dangerous. He must be good at fighting, Valerie concluded, remembering Jose's cruel attitude when he threatened the gang of thugs who disturbed Valerie at that time.If only at that time the leader of the gang and all of its members had decided to challenge, maybe Jose would have been able to face them all by himself.The man was not a

“Why do not you want to tell me about your date?”Charlotte keeps trying to persuade Valerie to tell her date with Jose last night. However, Valerie refused to make a voice. The thought of Jose's kissing and then the man's pretentious claim afterward bothers her immensely. She wanted to forget all that, really.Last night, however, she slept with a hot body temperature every time she thought of Jose's kiss. How that man crushed her lips, how was his tongue…. Jeez. Valerie cursed herself silently. It seemed like she had turned into a pervert, with just one kiss.That man is really dangerous. Valerie should have known from the start, but she started playing with fire because she dared to try. It was all because Jose spread an attraction that Valerie could not resist, making her like a moth attracted to the candlelight, subconsciously burning herself to the point of scorch.“Valerie,” Charlotte started sulking. “Come on, tell me, you know I am really curious, right?

At the last second he imagined the beautiful faces of his parents and younger sister, before losing consciousness.Manuel's car hit a big tree so hard that the front of the car was crushed against it.

Valerie widened her eyes in confusion. She looked at Jose for answers and her husband nodded his head. Nod his head! Does that mean what Miguel Alvaro said is true? That she is their daughter? But how could that be? How can?Manuel seemed to understand how confused and shocked Valerie was. He cleared his throat, trying to re-lead the conversation.“You remember, don't you, Valerie? I once came up to you and said you reminded me of someone? You actually remind me of Uncle Miguel and Aunt Vera. There are parts of you that make me feel like you are a lot like them. It made me suspicious, especially when Jose expressed his suspicions to me too.”Valerie looked at the Alvaro husband and wife. The woman named Vera started sobbing again. She looked at Valerie affectionately, but Valerie was still in doubt.She looked at Jose. “Are you suspicious of me?”Jose nodded his head. “At first I was not aware, but then James told me, that you are not fit to be Professor Benjamin's daughter. You do no

Valerie stared at the candles and a warm feeling flooded through her, making her realize how much her husband loved her.“For some reason, when I saw the candles, when I still lost my memory, I felt a tremendous jolt. It made me dizzy, nauseous and wanted to pass out.” Valerie looked at Jose lovingly. “I used to think it had something to do with bad memories, but it wasn't. My reaction was like that, maybe because my heart remembers it but my brain can't remember.”Valerie curled up tighter in Jose's embrace. Their eyes both enjoyed the beautiful scenery.Jose kissed Valerie's nose gently. “I just have no mercy, putting up those signs everywher

When May awoke, she found herself in bed, with George sitting beside her. This man studied her deeply.May momentarily lost orientation of where she was and what was happening to her, but then she remembered again. She looked at George and realized that the man's eyes were swollen.“Hey,” George muttered. “I am worried about you because it took you so long to wake up. Your partner's agent had sobered up a moment ago.”May quickly remembered her role. She immediately sat down and pretended to be surprised.“What happened, George? Why am I here… what about… Valerie! What about Valerie?!”George looked at her sadly, then shook his head. “We lost her.”“Oh my God!” May covered her mouth with her fingers. “I am sorry, George, I failed to look after her, it's all my fault.”“Sshh!” George put his fingers on May's lips and smiled softly. “This is not your fault. I was negligent and I also did not have the strength to keep my eyes on her, so I could only place two agents. I should have known,

The journey seems long. The car took Valerie to the airport and was then directed down a special hallway where a private jet awaited.Without a word, Valerie boarded the plane, waiting for the torturous minutes until it finally landed on a private landing area. The car was waiting there and then carried Valerie through the quiet streets.It is late at night, but life doesn't seem to separate itself at night. There are still many people roaming and passing on the streets, looking so happy. When she saw the uniqueness that existed in every corner, Valerie realized that she was on the island of the gods, Bali.The car was getting faster and faster, entering a quiet road, through rice fields and then a road full of big trees on the left and right. They drove into a deserted mountainous area, then stopped when they entered the large, tall fence, which opened and closed automatically when their car entered the grounds.There was a house there, a large house covered in shady trees so that it

May watched all these scenes in silence as she stood guard outside the door of Valerie's hospital room. George even walked past her and walked away in a huff, unaware of her presence at the door.It made May's mind hurt. When there was Valerie, George did not even have time to glance at her.She turned to an agent who was her friend on guard. There is only one person to worry about. George could not give full guard to Valerie, because his boss did not give him the consent to continue to detain her, so the man only got permission to place two agents in front of her room.So of course this made it easier for her to free Valerie. The instructions from Don were clear, that once Valerie woke up, she should arrange for Valerie's escape.There was a surprise, of course, that she had not had the chance to report to Don and Mr. Jose who were now recovering, that Valerie's memory had returned.
