Valentine's pov (Andrew's uncle)
Walking off to the office, adjusting my tie and coat in the process, my assistant followed me, carrying the bags of important documents. He was struggling to handle them.
"What is today's schedule?" I asked when I heard that he mistakenly fell all the bags on the floor to remove the note pad from his pocket to tell me my schedules.
"I am sorry, Sir. Just give me a moment." He apologizes hastily, picking them up. I sighed at his stupidity. "Sir, you have a couple of meeting in an hour with Mr. Saxena, then you have a tour to take around our new factory to check all the machines and things by yourself, and later, you have promised your family, a dinner. If you want I can add some other tasks too. " He tells.
"Nope that's all for today. "
He nodded, putting the bags on the table carefully. We heard someone yelling outside the office. "Ma'am, who are you?! we can't let you go inside!"
"Do you even know who I am?!"
"Joey? can you see what is going?" I requested him.
"Yes, Sir." He went out. Handling a billionaire dollar business is surely a headache that I am already feeling and now this noise. Then a few minutes later, Emily entered the room, irritated.
She tapped her heels on the ground, taking my attention to her. "What are you here for?" I ask, she chuckles.
"Like you don't know, Valentine." She spoke.
"How much money you want this time?" I asked, taking out my checkbook, she took that from my hand, threw it on the ground.
"I don't want your few thousand dollars, Valentine, it has almost been a year since Vincent has gone into a coma, and because of Andrew and Sam, I didn't get a single penny of his property!" She yelled out.
"You go and bring two coffee for us. " I told Joey, he nods, leaving us alone as I turn my head to Emily.
"I did marry that old shit for his money, I thought I will spend the rest of my life full of luxury but Andrew and Sam are way too smart, taking more advantage of being sons of Vincent! they've even blocked the credit cards as well that was given to me by their father." She let out furiously.
"Don't worry, you will get his property," I assured her.
"Don't you get the invitation card?! Andrew is going to marry today and right after it he will have a baby means everything will go out of my hands!" She shouted.
She is right.
When Andrew or even if Sam will have their first baby means next heirs to Vincent's property, it will directly go to them right after their birth on this world, and Emily and I will get nothing in return. I didn't think about this.
"Okay, I am going to his house to talk to him about this. " I stated.
"Wait, I will join you." She says, coming with me.
When we reached there, Emily and I waited for Andrew to show up as he and Sam come downstairs, I saw him giving a glare to Emily. I know, he hates her. I gesture them to sit down.
"I hear that you brought her again in the house and are you going to marry her? " I asked him, smirking.
"Yes, Because I don't want to lose her," he replied coldly.
"Interesting but what about our position, power, and business ?" I questioned him, curiously.
"I can handle all these three things Uncle you have nothing to worry about p.s someday I have to marry so why not today?? " He questions back.
"We already have lots of enemies that will try to take advantage of this opportunity that you have given to them, You are not marrying a simple girl Andrew, she is the sister of our enemy, do you forget how desperately you wanted to take revenge from her brother because what he did to us, It will destroy your business, your future and then your children's life as well". I explained seriously.
"I've already killed her brother, So what do you want me to do?" He asks after thinking about something.
"I want you to marry Monica daughter of a politician and also a good friend of your dad, he does not only have money but power and reputation in the public as that you will get lots of support from her family in case you need any help in the future and she is also beautiful, "Is all I said. I know Monica's father, he is a very good friend of mine and once Andrew got marry to his daughter I am sure, I will able to get more power and image in public.
"No way I am not going to marry Monica doesn't matter what happens I will manage I have enough money and power to protect my family, and now I've taken dad's throne too. " He responded quickly, looking directly into my eyes.
"I am not here to hear no from you, son I am here to tell you my decision that you are going to marry Monica doesn't matter what, I am sure when your Father will wake up from a coma, he won't be happy to see that what his son has done, " I stated, mirroring his glare looks.
"Never-" he was about to say when I cut me off.
"Don't dare to cross me!" I let out furiously when he got up as I pull my gun on him so does he? I just did it to make him feel that I am the one who has more power. But it is very humiliating for me.
"Ohh so now you're showing the gun to your Uncle who taught you and gives you this wonderful life for a cheap girl?" Emily spoke in a disgusted tone.
" No!! but I love elie and I am not going to marry someone else especially that stupid bitch Monica, " He yelled out, " I know you and dad gave me this life and I also know that you know how capable I am to protect our business and family still you want me to marry someone else for the fake reputation that I don't need of?!"
"Do you have any idea what you are saying?"
"I seriously don't care"
"So it's that your decision Andrew?" I asked.
"Yes," he replies.
"Than I should take my leave, " I get up from the seat, and before going I spoke, rudely, "you will regret it and one day you will come back to take my help."
We both left and returned to the office.
"What now?" Emily asks.
"He ain't gonna marry today especially when his bride isn't there," I stated with an evil smirk.
She arched her brow at me, "What do you mean?" She asks.
ElieI woke up lazily in the morning and I am still in bed, suddenly I smelled a very beautiful fragrance in the room where I was sleeping, for once I thought mom spared room freshener and that makes me sleep little more and that fragrance was so beautiful that I am still smiling without opening my eyes and when I opened my eyes I was completely shocked, I was in the unfamiliar room it's not my bedroom I started to scan the room still sitting on the bed that was more comfortable than my actual one all I saw was a beautiful room and my beautiful portraits and pictures and mind-blowing arts, painting and beautiful flowers like roses, Jasmine and many more that I don't even know their names the whole room is covered by white and golden paint and tiles.I have to admit I haven't slept like this in weeks away from those nightmares.Slowly, removing the blanket from my legs still in a little sleep, I saw my legs it was covered by a
Andrew"So, which one you like?" Sam asked, showing me the most expensive tuxedos for the fifth time since yesterday."Sam, I told you, these tuxedos are beautiful I will wear anyone from them, " I reacted with a hint of annoyance in my tone.He sighed, "Come on, brother, today is your wedding with the girl you love so much, you can't wear anything it should be special, No Sofia?" He retorts, pulling out a tuxedo from the wardrobe."Yes, Sir, " Sofia replied."I am sure, this will look good on you, " He threw a tuxedo in my direction. Wrapping it around my shoulders I heard the sound of the shirt tore away as soon as I put my arms in.Damn!"Woah, what you did?!" Sam yelled out."Shirt's hand was short it's not my fault!" I defended."Okay, ""Whatever, get me another one," I demanded as he nods, giving
ElieHow can a man from my nightmare exist in real life?! and what does he meant by if I have trusted him?! I saw him for the first time in my whole existence I mean many times in my nightmares but in reality."Who are you and Are you here to kill me?!" I asked, not believing in what I was seeing."Stop pretending like you don't know me, Elie, I am Andrew, and I could never even hurt you so forget about killing, " He stated in a calm voice, having a smile on his lips. He even knows my name that name which my parents and my sister call me by but it was also a bit of relief that he isn't here to kill me."I don't know you!" I shouted, glaring at him, "how can you even be real?!" he raised his brow for a moment before taking a step towards me, baffled."I am in right front of you and you still asking if I am real or not?" He asks, grinning like he felt all this interesting.
Andrew"Sam?!" I called him as he has occupied himself in the gossips of guests, he excused them, making his way to me."So, how it went?" He asks, lifting the glass of wine from the waiter, who was passing by to serve others."Not as I expected but I am sure she will be here soon. " I responded with a smile of hope which he returned."That's great then, ""Is uncle present at the wedding?" I ask Sam."You can't expect him to be present today especially after that fight took place in the morning between you and him. ""And...Emily?""That bish is never there when we need her,""That means...""She isn't here, she left with Uncle. "I sighed in annoyance."What's wrong, Andrew?" Sam asks, taking a sip from his wine."Someone needs to walk Elina on the ais
ValentineShe arched her brow at me, "What do you mean?" She asks."Calm down, have a seat first." I indicted her to sit down, she annoyed but took nonetheless."I've had hired a henchman to murder Elina and he's already disguised himself in the wedding as a guest, no one will doubt. If Elina dead I am hella sure Andrew will never marry again neither will he have a child.""Great!""let me call that henchmen, he must have done my work by now," I said, taking my phone out from my suit's pocket. "Hello?" I spoke.'Hi, Mr.Valentine.' He whispered."give me the good news."'I got a perfect spot to shoot her on the head, don't worry, you will get the good news in a few minutes.' He replied."Fine."He was silent for a moment before he spoke which shocked me, 'Mr. Valentine, something has happened here'"What is it?
ElieRight after I finished my food and took medicines, I first decided to sleep cause I was already exhausted but Andrew again came into my nightmares, It was midnight and I can't sleep back without my sleeping pills and my curiosity was taking the best of me to know why Andrew keep appearing to my dreams.He is a real guy so it just a coincidence or we actually have a past that I am not aware of. And what sort of coincidence is this that the guy of my nightmare came into my life and turning it into a living nightmare. As much as I notice, he surely not gonna kill me anytime soon like he has done many times in my dream. He just seems like a psycho from romantic books who wants to get the girl whom he calls his so-called love.Is it possible that I have started to see the future glimpses, maybe not now but in the future, he will try to kill me and he can do that, right?I wandered to his study room as Sa
AndrewWith that, she left furiously."Sir? Should I make another coffee for you?" Sofia asks, I shook my head."For now you can leave," I ordered her, she nodded and left after cleaning the stains of coffee from the floor.Pissing Elina off wasn't my plan but her nightmare caught me off guard. It's exactly how it was happening right after I killed Marcus, Elina wasn't listening to me and used to hide from me and refused to eat and drink anything so I always had my gun to scare her to eat food and I wasn't surprised that's why she is seeing me in her dream a part of her brain still remember me but in a bad way.I am sorry, Elie, I wish I could explain to you but once you will know the truth, you will leave me again and I can't let it happen. You aren't the only one who is in dark right now. That day when I found out you ran away from me. I got the idea that you can't do that
ElieWhen I got up from bed, I happily let my feet touch the cold marble. It's been a while since I slept like a baby tho, I got that nightmare last night too but I never got much sleep after that.I wonder why.I stretched my arms above my head when a strong smell of cologne hits my nostril, smelling the cologne again, I realized it was coming from me only. I remember, yesterday, In excitement I tried so many perfumes but none of them were this strong yet alcoholic. Nor I used perfume before sleeping.Baffled, I took the shower and slide into an orange floral dress, zipping the dress up from the back, letting my hair chill on my shoulders. I walked over to the hallway.Where I found Sam talking to a Maid about breakfast. He smiled at me, gesturing the maid to go. I didn't smile back because his idea didn't work at all. Andrew hasn't told me any
AndrewI quickly came home from my work when I got Nick's call, saying he found out something about Elina which surely not good for us.Whereas Sam brought her best friend Veronica, she's the one who can tell every detail about Elina. Sam yesterday told me that Veronica actually wanted to meet us especially me but couldn't for some reason.Anyway, I went to the study room where I found them sitting on the couch, waiting for me to show up.*Coughs* I faked a cough, whacking their eyes in my direction, I walked inside and took a seat next to Nick on the couch.
ElinaRascal!Andrew is such a rascal!Why he is doing this to me?!If everything will go like this, I am surely gonna hate him more in these three months than love.It's not like I wanna hate him just because he kidnapped me but he is making me hate him more and more.Will anyone take the life out of him, if he told me the truth?!Absolutely, not!Or maybe...yes?Ughh!And last night, I promised him that I will find out everything eventually that everyone is hiding from me in anger. Why I have a bad habit of making promises when someone challenges me?Shrugging, I walked off to the hallway, this morning was really boring cause everyone is gone early to their work and as usual, I have no one to talk to.I never felt so lonely before.On my way to th
Andrew"Do you love Andrew?"I immediately stopped in the midway, hearing my name. Who is asking this question right now? Following the voice, I glimpse of Chris and Elie standing on the staircase."What?"I didn't understand, what he exactly meant by that but I can't let Elina answer this question, she will ruin it by babbling out the truth."You heard me, Elina." She was pause must be deciding her words to say. This is the right time to interrupt them."She does love me, " I spoke, making them darting their eyes in my direction."Andrew..." Elina whispered my name.I began, "This isn't the question, you should be asking her when we already declared our love during the dinner.""Yes. I felt like she is forced-" I cut him off."Forced?" I repeated this word with a chuckle in disbelief, "Why you felt
ElieAfter some 'gawk with affection' Moments, I hastily take the last steps which lead to the dining table."Elina, for a moment, I didn't realize it's you," Chris spoke with a chuckle, completely surprised."Do you guys know each other?" Andrew asked, a bit puzzled."Not really, we met a few hours ago in the back garden." He countered.Andrew raised his brow at me while drawing a sharp breath, not to confirm what Chris said, but maybe, he understood that I was there to try my luck, escaping from him and this place, though, he was smiling in the realization that I failed to do so."I hope, you have no plans to stand there for the whole night, Elie, " Sam's voice snap my thoughts."No," Is all I replied.Nervously, I found Chris and Andrew both approached me by pulling a chair next to them, I stood there confused so does everyone including themselve
AndrewI want Elina to know me as I am, not as her nightmare or some Mafia who kills people. Even before she left me, she already accepted my Mafia side without asking any questions whether I have hands in illegal business like my dad or I ever killed people or not.She loved me then and I am sure she will love me now as well. But for that, I want her to spend time with me as much as we can whether she accompany me to dinners or social events.I expect the world to know, how serious I am about her.Tonight's dinner was supposed to be us but Sam interjected, nevertheless, I can't say no when he is the one who gave me this idea.I bought a dress for her that I hope she will wear tonight without disappointing me. She already hates me enough not anymore.Nick and I gathered around the table then a familiar voice scared the shit out of us."Anyone missed me?!" My c
Elie"What are you doing?" A panic shot me when I heard a man's voice behind me, as I fell on the bushes."Ouch!" I whined in pain."Ohh fuck! are you okay?" I heard him running towards me, sensing the concern and worry in his voice."I am not okay!" I screamed, he helped me stand up from the bushes as I feel the throng in my palms and also scratches on my hands and calf."You are bleeding." He mumbled, pulling my dress up from the bottom as I snap his hands away."What on earth you think you are doing?!" I asked, taking a few steps away, why all men here are so jerked?!"Hey! I am not a pervert, I was just checking if you are hurt somewhere." He defends, taking out his long handkerchief, he tore it apart to clean the blood from my hands before wrapping it around my wounds.I look up to him to argue that he doesn't need to do anyth
AndrewI have no words to describe but it felt good when she is on top of me, being with her again. I wasn't aware that she is so desperate to find the truth that she can even think of seducing me.If I stayed a minute more with her, then I would have ended up, tearing her clothes off. Whatever she was doing, was making it hard for me not to get hard on her touch.I walk away to my room when I recalled how she slowly relaxed on me last night. It was surely the most comfortable night yet sleep I got with her. Tho, I woke up early so she couldn't get any sort of doubt of me next to her."Andrew?" Sam called me from behind, with a smirk on his face."What?" I ask."Why are you smiling?" He asks back, examining me. I didn't realize I am smiling."It's nothing," I replied, getting the serious gaze back to hide my smile."Nothing?" He repeats t
