VALENCIA'S POVThe bell rang again slightly alerting my all senses. “Are you expecting guests?” I asked, looking back at Aaron. He was just as confused as me and shook his head. “No! I don't think I invited anyone?” He said, putting me down on the bed from his lap. “Let me check, who is this!” He says.“Okay!!” I got up as he left the bedroom, I opened the last drawer of the bedside table and took out my gun that I had hidden last night before Aaron saw it.I walked behind Aaron, my gun loaded as I hid behind me. He opened the door and I was ready to shoot the person on the doorstep but stopped seeing familiar faces.“Noah!! Luke!!” Aaron looked at his friends in surprise, as his friends hugged him. I quickly tucked the gun behind me, under my waistband and covered it with my shirt.“You both are here!! Why?” Aaron asked, giving them a 'bro hug'.“We wanted to spend time with you!!” Luke said, they both haven't noticed me yet— Oh!! Noah did.“But I think you're busy with your girl
VALENCIA'S POV“NO!!” Luke shouted angrily, watching the TV screen.“Yeah!!” Noah shouted in excitement, looking at the screen then hugged me. “We won again!!” I smiled, but hesitated to hug him back.“I'm telling you for the 10th time, don't touch her!!” Aaron shouted, pulling me back from Noah by my arm.I and Noah were playing against Aaron and Luke. After one round of them teaching me, I got everything settled in my mind as we played the game.This is the 3rd round. Noah and I won against Aaron and Luke. We played 2-3 rounds together then Luke suggested we play against each other and after a round of argument we decided the team members.“Don't get touchy with her!!” Aaron warns them, pulling me close to his side.“Sorry bro, but Val is on my team!!” Noah said, and gently pulled me towards him.“She's not Val!! Why are you calling her that! Call her Valencia. V-A-L-E-N-C-I-A.” Aaron emphasizes each word like a teacher.‘‘My team. My decision.” Noah said, smirking at him. Luke was
AARON'S POV“You're right, I will definitely kill you if you don't remove your arms from her in the next 3 seconds.” I said, glaring at Luke.How dare he try to touch her!! She's mine, and no one can touch her except me. “Oh man! I was just helping her. Right Val?” Luke said, turning his back towards me and looked at Valencia.“Y..yeah!” Valencia said, nodding towards me. I walked towards her and threw Luke's arm away from her and hugged her.“Oh! So why are you helping her?“ I asked, looking at him. I know he is lying and just making an excuse to get away from my wrath.“…Actually! Valencia sprained her ankle so I was helping her to walk!! Yeah!” Luke lied, looking at her with pity eyes.“Is that true? Babe~” I asked her, wanting to know if she would help him or not. “Y..yeah! I was walking on the sand and accidentally twisted my ankle!!” Valencia said, nodding towards me.I let out a soft laugh and grabbed her chin. “Now, you're lying to me and supporting him, Sweetheart~” I said,
AARON'S POVI was so tempted to punch Noah in the face, but our friendship was becoming his shield against me. He shrugged his shoulders and drank the water.“And you both have taken Valencia here before me!? When?” I asked, gripping the glass of water. “Valencia? Do you have something to say?” I asked, looking at her. But she looked away, not meeting my gaze.“Ask them.” She said, looking everywhere but me.“We came here yesterday, when we took Valencia with us from your office.” Luke said, giving me a mocking smile.“And what about the 'girlfriend' stuff?” I asked, glaring at Noah.”Well, I just introduced her to uncle-aunty as my girlfriend.” Noah said, and shrugged his shoulders.“Girlfriend!?” I exclaimed, and banged my palm on the table. “Seriously? You claimed her as your girlfriend!?” I said.“Aaron! Calm down, he didn't mean that.” Valencia said, grabbing my hand in her.“You're taking his side over me!! And why didn't you say something when he was calling you his girlfrien
VALENCIA'S POV Pain. I feel pain all over my body. My body crashed on the ground, and pain exploded in my body as I tried to move. A gunshot again echoed in the alley, I groaned as I tried to move. Two bodies are stuck to both of my sides. “Fúck! Get up you both.” I groaned, pushing both of them away and sat on the ground. A hissed left my lips when I felt a stinging pain in both of my elbows, I searched my hands and my hands were badly scratched. “Valencia!! Are you fine!” Aaron said, sitting on my right side and holding my hand in his. “Sweetheart, your hand is bleeding!!” Romeo said from my left side, quickly wiping my blood with his handkerchief.

CHAPTER 77AARON'S POVI smirked at Valencia, who was stopped at the doorstep in shock. Caleb also stopped in his tracks as he saw her stop, he shook her hand and signaled her to walk ahead.Everyone in the conference room stood up, and so did I. Valencia wore her straight face invisible mask and walked inside the room, nodding her head. “Sit down.” She said in a cold voice, and sat down on the head chair. Coincidentally her seat is right next to me, or you can say that it was all my plan to sit next to her!Caleb took a seat on her left side. There's a table in the middle of all the shareholders. “Start your presentation.” She commanded coldly looking at everyone but me.Each member started to give their ideas for the project and I snake my hand towards her under the table and grabbed her thigh.Valencia's body shuddered under my touch, she did best to keep her face straight.

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.

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

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.

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

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?

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.
