VALENCIA'S POV Romeo opened the door and a waiter was there smiling at him. ‘‘Sir, your breakfast.’’ He said, slide the trolley of food towards him. ‘‘Hmm, thank you…and don't knock too loud next time.’’ Romeo said in a cold tone and closed the door on the waiter's face. ‘‘Breakfast for you baby!’’ He turned towards me and said in a completely different tone, in a sweet tone. I nodded and walked towards the couch as he put the breakfast on the table. I sat on the couch and started to have breakfast while he searched for something. He came behind me with a hair brush, hair solution, and some accessories. ‘‘I'll do your hair.’’ He said, taking some hair solution in his palms as I nodded, eating my sandwich and drinking orange juice. He carefully detangled the knots in my hair and brushed my hair. ‘‘You should take care of your hair. You always do a messy bun and leave for work.’’ He scolded me, and I just rolled my eyes. He made two perfect braids to my both sides of the face,
FEW HOURS EARLIER AARON'S POV I was in the middle of a garden, full of flowers and black roses, with Valencia. She was wearing a red gown at her knee length, her hair was open and she looked like an angel when she danced around the garden while wind played with her hair. I ran behind her and picked her up by wrapping my arms around her waist and spinning us as she laughed without holding back. We ran around the garden, holding each other's hand, playing, laughing, and I taught her how to make a flower crown, and put it over her head. She tried to make one but failed miserably, because she was putting in more strength than needed. She sighed in frustration after trying many times but didn't succeed. ‘‘Wait, let me teach you again.’’ I said, smiling ear to ear as I again showed her the process. Valencia tried again and almost learnt it but again it broke as she put more strength in it. ‘‘Huh!! I can't do this!’’ She shouted in irritation, I laughed out loud seeing her struggle lik
AARON'S POVAfter my disastrous morning, my whole day was destined to be ruined. I went to my office in a foiled mood, as I continued working grumpily.I checked my phone from time to time, but there's no messages or calls from her. She doesn't care about me! She only cares about her work!I sighed, walking towards the meeting room. The morning dream was nowhere going out of my mind, no matter how much I tried to forget about that but it stays in my mind like glued.That was the most terrible nightmare I have ever had!! And I don't want to see anything like that ever again!‘‘Good morning! sir.’’ My employees greeted me as I entered the room, and I nodded. It's not like me to not greet them back but my morning was not great, so was my mood.‘‘Start your presentations.’’ I said, my assistant, Layla Perez, called employees to show their presentation about the new project, one by one.This project is the reason behind every problem in my life. Ever since I have got this project, problems
AARON'S POVThe temperature of the room immediately dropped down to minus degrees. Valencia glared at us— especially me, her jaw clenched, so did her palms.‘‘Bro, here comes your love, now take care of her.’’ Luke murmured, winking at me.‘‘We're leaving, let's meet again, if you got saved today!’’ Noah murmured, smirking at me, as they both got up and walked towards the door.‘‘Do whatever you want but just don't kill him!’’ They both said to her and nodded before leaving, Valencia also nodded to them.My dear best friends betrayed me and left me with a dangerous lioness— Valencia and my assistant. I quickly took my hand back and the mug of the coffee dropped on the floor, scattering into pieces.‘‘I think I disturbed your private time! I'm leaving.’’ Valencia said in a cold tone and walked out glaring at Layla.‘‘Valencia!! Wait!’’ I quickly got up, and was about to go after her when Layla held my hand.‘‘Sir! Where are you going?’’ She asked, but I jerked her hands away.‘‘Don't t
VALENCIA'S POVI'm kidnapped. Not really but I couldn't even say that I'm taken by my permission!! Aaron's friends, Noah and Luke both take me away with them, but if I didn't want to go with them then they couldn't take me anywhere.Now, I'm sitting in the backseat with Luke, and Noah was driving the car. My phone rang and I took out to see Aaron's call coming on my phone.I was about to pick up the call, when Luke took the call and picked up. ‘‘Hey, my dear friend, why did you call me?’’ Luke said.‘‘I didn't call you!! Give the phone back to Valencia, you arsehole.’’ Aaron's voice comes from the phone.‘‘Oh, but you can't talk to her for the next few hours because we're taking her out, so don't disturb us.’’ Luke said, and Aaron shouted in response but Luke ended the call and gave the phone back to me.‘‘Don't pick up his call.’’ He said, looking at me. I didn't say anything and put my phone on silent mode, because I'm still angry with him.How dare he let that girl touch him!! He
VALENCIA'S POV‘‘Are you okay!?’’ Luke's voice came in my ears but I was holding my head tightly, feeling Immense pain in my head.‘‘I think something fell in the kitchen!! I'll go and check it.’’ The old man said, going behind me— towards the kitchen.‘‘Is something wrong, Valencia? Are you okay? Do you need a doctor?’’ Noah asked, but I quickly showed them my palm, stopping them. ‘‘Just silent.’’ I murmured softly, holding my head with one hand and searching for my pills in my jacket with another. I found it in my inner jacket's pocket.I took out a pill and put it in my mouth, and was about to grab the glass of water but Luke had already taken the glass and put it near my lips. ‘‘Drink it.’’ He said in a low tone, holding the glass. I nodded and took a sip from the water, gulping down the pill.I waited for 2 minutes, as the pill takes two minutes to show effect and reduce the headache. When I looked up, I saw Luke and Noah looking at me silently but their eyes were…. worried.Pi
AARON'S POV I was trying to contact Valencia the whole day, but she didn't pick up or leave any message. It was evening and I will definitely not trust my friends with her, they're crazy and I don't even know why they suddenly wanted to hang out with her! I again called Noah and this time he picked up the call. ‘‘Noah!! You bàstard!! Where are you?” I asked, almost shouted. ‘‘Why are you being so hyper?’’ He said, in a casual tone like he didn't just kidnap Valencia from me. ‘‘Where's she? And what have you talked to her about?’’ I asked, as I sat in my car. ‘‘Who is this? She?’’ He says and I know that he's teasing me. ‘‘Noah, I'm asking for the last time, where is she? What have you talked about with her? And why is she not picking up my call?’’ I asked him nonstop questions, while driving my car. ‘‘Please be more specific with your words, Aaron. I don't know who you are talking about.’’ He said, raising my anger level. ‘‘Valencia!! I'm talking about Valencia De Von Cruz!
VALENCIA'S POV‘‘You don't care about others feelings, you only do whatever fúcking thing you want to do!!’’ He shouted, pacing around the drawing room.The numb headache has again started to come back, and I could feel my head heavier more because of his shouting. He said— shouted everything that was buried inside his heart. But breaking my black heart with his words. No one has ever shouted at me, except him. Aaron was the first one who shouted or hurted me the most, since our school time.If there's someone else in his place, I would not hesitate to shoot him between his eyes for daring to raise their voice at me. But for some reason I couldn't do that with him. It feels weird to even imagine him covered in blood, something clenched inside me. ‘‘I don't know why but I'm attracted to you!! Even after knowing that you played with me!’’ He said, looking at me.‘‘Hmph…right! I did play, I'm playing!!’’ I stood up, glaring at him. ‘‘Then what about you? Did not you also do the same?
CHAPTER 170VALENCIA'S POVI finger myself, feeling Aaron's heated gaze on me but I just smirk and moan seductively. “Ah~ fuck! Do you want to feel me, Aaron?” I asked, looking at him.“Fuck! Yeah! Open these damn ribbons!” Aaron almost shouts, struggling to get free but he doesn't know, the more he struggles the more it will get tightened.“But sadly, you're being punished for your deeds!” I muttered, and took my fingers out and crawled in his lap. His gaze darkened as he looked at me.“You're being punished, not me…. So I can do anything I want.” I said, lifting my lower body and taking his hard cock inside my pussy. Just the tip.A moan left my lips as I felt his tip stretching my pussy lips, thick, veiny and throbbing with need. “Hell! Take my cock inside your little pussy! Bella~” Aaron growls, his chest rumbles against my palm.“Shhh…it's your punishment.” I whisper, fucking my pussy with his tip and leaned to kiss his chest. My name was tattooed over his heart and it made my

Now what to do with them?” Romeo asked, patting Valencia's head affectionately.“Let's go and meet them! Then go for our important work." Valencia replied, looking forward to meeting the unknown persons.Romeo nodded his head, turning the car towards a very expensive and grand hospital and parked the car in the parking lot and went to open the door for her.“Thank you, Romeo!" Valencia whispered as they both walked towards the private wards. The hospital staff and doctors bow to her as she walks in.Valencia just nodded her head and walked into two attached wards and saw unknown people lying on hospital beds, eyes closed.“Queen!!” The doctor, who was checking the patients, quickly bowed his head towards her. “How are they?” She asked in her cold, distant tone, without any expression on her face.“They're now fine, sleeping because of medicin

Grace is a good woman but I don't think she is ready to know about the world we live in.Grace feeds me first then she eats, while I look at her. Her long brown hair and brown eyes are a perfect match, she is beautiful and gives off a motherly feeling.“Why did you both get divorce?” My eyes widened as I unintentionally asked her this question. Her body froze for a moment then she let out a small smile and looked at me. “I… I couldn't conceive a child, and his mother wanted grandkids. So she forced me to divorce him so he can get married to another woman.” She says.“Were you happy with him?” I asked, noticing every little reaction in her.“…it was an arranged marriage. My mother was really sick those days so when one of her relatives proposed this marriage my mother agreed.” Grace explained with a gloomy expression.“What about your father?” I don't know why but i feel lik
CHAPTER 167THIRD PERSON'S POV“We? Your mother and—” Grace says but Valencia cut her words off.“My mother and I. We both were in that car, the only difference is she couldn't make it out alive and I did.” Valencia says, looking out in the dark sky.Other hand, Valencia's family, Aaron and his friends were watching everything through the TV. They have heard everything and are feeling sad and worried for Valencia.“It's not your fault! Don't blame yourself for your mother's death.” Grace says, caressing her hair. “And you shouldn't feel lonely…because your mother is always in your heart.” She added.Valencia scoffed at her words. “Momma is not in my heart, I don't have a heart. She stays in my mind, always.” She says, looking outside.“W…what do you mean?” Grace asked, looking at Valencia's face, but Valencia's face was blank as she looked outside. Other hand, Everyone is feeling worried for her as she was talking about her mother, which she has never done. Not with anyone, not ev
CHAPTER 166VALENCIA'S POVI was about to fall down when the woman held my hand, preventing me from falling. She pulled me back but didn't leave my hand.“Where are you going? And what about those goons? Did they hurt you?” The woman asked, worriedly looking at me.I looked at my hand in hers, her hands felt warm against my cold hand. “I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me!” I said, trying to take my hand back.“What is this!? You're hurt and you didn't tell me about this!” She held my right hand carefully, and looked at the cut. It was stinging as I held back a hiss.“It doesn't matter!” I say, trying to take my hand back. “It will heal on its own.” I added, looking at the woman.“Kiddo, It will not heal until you treat it.” She says, and I close my eyes to calm my mind. “How old do you think I am?” I asked her.“What's with this question? Aren't you a highschool girl?” She said and I looked at her with widened eyes. “Do I look like a teenager?” I asked, looking around if some
CHAPTER 165THIRD PERSON'S POVAaron and his friends burst into Cruz Villa, despite guards trying to stop them. “Archer!! Adelio!!” Aaron shouts as they walk into the living room and sees them sitting there.“What the hell are you doing here!?” Archer growls, coming face to face with Aaron. “My baby sister might like you but she's not here, so it's best for you to leave because we don't like you at all.” Adelio warns him as he glares at them.“That's why I'm here! Where is she? It's been three days since I have talked to her, and she went to London!” Aaron says, looking at them.“We don't know.’’ Archer and Adelio say in unison, rolling their eyes on him. “And even if we know we're not going to tell you!” Archer retorted back.“Where is she? Mr. Cruz?” Aaron asked as he stood in front of him. Valencia's dad ignored him like dust.“Did you hide her in fear of me kidnapping her and marrying her? Are you that scared of me, Mr. Cruz?” Aaron provokes him and gives a sly smirk.“Don't p

I have Romeo, Caleb and Alice, how am I going alone?” I said with a smile and pats his shoulder. “And don't forget I have lived in Russia alone too.” I added.“And I regret that.” Brother says with a sad face and hugs me tightly. I smile and pat his back gently.It was early morning when Caleb had arranged our private airplane to go to London. Dad and brothers get up in the early morning just to drop me to the airport, even after I told them it's not necessary.“Call me if you ever want me.” Archer brother says, pulling me into a hug. I sighed and nodded my head. “We're always here for you. Take care of yourself and call me whenever you have time.” Dad said and I again nodded my head. “Okay, we're leaving!” I say with a smile and take a step back while looking towards the entrance door.I want to see Aaron. “Take care
CHAPTER 163AARON'S POV“Baby boy~ can you do something for me?” She asked in a serious tone and I looked into her eyes.“Yes! I will do everything just for you.” I say, with a smile and caressing her cheeks. Something snapped inside her and the brightness was dull in her eyes.I want to destroy the reason she lost her shine, her cheerful nature and herself. I'm ready to kill anyone just for her, for her happiness, for her pleasure.I want to shower her with lots of love, so much love that she forgets about her pain and just lives in love. The love she deserves but is afraid to accept it.I got to know her well enough that she was a different person years ago, but something happened and she became soulless. But not anymore!

CHAPTER 162AARON'S POV“The wounds are quite deep, probably got into a car accident, glasses broke and hurt her!” The doctor says, putting ointment on Valencia's hands.“Is it something serious, doctor?” I asked, anxiously looking at her unconscious figure.Valencia's hands are completely covered in bandages, a few bandages on legs and a bandage wrapped on her head. There's also little cuts on her neck.It's good that I have a room in my office on the top floor, and we shift her there for more space. My heart was literally thumping loudly when I carried her unconscious body in my arms.“Why is she still not conscious? Do we need to take her to the hospital?” Noah asked, sitting beside her on the bed while holding her hand.“Yeah! It's been an hour since she was unconscious!!” Luke growls, glaring at the doctor. “Are you seriously helping us or just time passing with us?” He added.Luke and Noah, both of them took place beside Valencia, holding her hands and kicking me away when I tr
