THIRD PERSON'S POV 1 month passed, since Aaron and Valencia fought, but still she came to school and attended classes like always. They ignored each other like disease, even took different paths to avoid each other. Now it was the last time for the final exams of highschool, they already gave every test and the last 2 more exams were left. Valencia walked into the class and found her seat to sit down. It was a mathematics test, and every student was busy reading the book. Aaron, Noah and Luke were also seated in the same class but different seats. Teacher came into the class and told students to drop the book. ‘‘Students, I'm going to change your seats again today.’’ She said and started to rearrange the seats. ‘‘And Aaron…and Ms.Cruz will sit on one bench.’’ she announced and both Aaron and Valencia stood up in shock. ‘‘I'll not sit with her!!’’ Aaron shouted. ‘‘I'll not sit with him!!’’ Val shouted. They both again got shocked and glared at each other. ‘‘No arguments, go an
THIRD PERSON'S POV6 YEARS LATER—A plane has just landed in France. There's many people waiting at the airport. Three men dressed in black tuxedos, and many guards were looking at the plane.The door of the plane opened revealing a young woman stepping out, dressed in black tuxedo. She climbed down the stairs and looked around.‘‘Dad!! Brothers!!’’ Valencia screamed in excitement and ran to hug them. ‘‘I missed you.’’ she added.‘‘We missed you too, princess.’’ Asher says, and kisses his daughter's forehead.‘‘Pumpkin, my pumpkin is back!!’’ Adelio said, hugging her tightly. ‘‘You don't know how much I miss you.’’ ‘‘My sweet, sweet cupcake.’’ Archer pulled her away from them and hugged her tightly, kissing her cheeks and forehead again and again.‘‘…Guys, you're not meeting for the first time in six years?’’ Caleb muttered looking at the scene with a weird expression.‘‘You have met many times before also, and the last time you met with each other was 1 month ago.’’ Alice said, no
AARON'S POVI'm sitting in my office, trying to focus on an important project but my mind keeps replaying a certain someone's face. I sighed and walked towards the window, I saw the reflection of my own.Six years. Six years of waiting for her. I've waited so long for her, because…the guilt of years ago still haunts me. I hurted her. I indirectly insulted her mother, and I wanted to apologize to her. I even visited her mother's grave, and apologized to her with a beautiful flower bouquet.My mother never taught me and my brother to insult a dead person, and if we accidentally did then immediately apologize to the person and the dead person.I apologized to her mother and I also wanted to apologize to Valencia…but she left. I didn't hear about her until 1 year ago, when she took over the underworld mafia Queen position. It was all over the network.Someone knocked on my door, ‘‘Come in.’’ I said and the door opened, my friends walked into the cabin.‘‘Hey, we hear about the attack!!
THIRD PERSON'S POVWhen Valencia and Asher went out to talk, Archer took out a document and started to read. While Adelio looked at Sinclair family with an awkward smile.‘‘Would you like something to have?’’ He asked, with a polite smile.‘‘No, it's okay.’’ Mrs. Sinclair says with a warm smile. Adelio nodded his head, not knowing how to strike a conversation.‘‘Um…can I ask something…personal?’’ Rosalie, Adrian's wife asked nervously.Archer looked up, but again looked down on the document. ‘‘..Yes, what do you want to ask?’’ Adelio said, with a small smile.‘‘We…didn't see your mother? Is she not here?’’ Rosalie asked, Adrian held her hand under the table and shook his head.Archer couldn't take anymore and sternly looked at them. ‘‘Our mother is not anymore. She died years ago. ’’ He said.There's a long awkward silence, no one says anything for some time then Mrs. Sinclair gently asks. ‘‘What happened with her?’’ ‘‘It doesn't matter to you, it's not your concern, and don't eve
VALENCIA'S POVYesterday night went like a blink of an eye, my head was heavy and I felt drowsy because of lack of sleep and rest.It's not easy to handle business, mafia Queen's responsibility, protecting my family and Aaron….Mr. Sinclair's family, and additional mental torture by my grandpa, all at once.I've been feeling tired since I woke up, but I couldn't take a day off. I looked at the documents on my cabin desk, its two-three piles of paperwork. Even If I work one week day-night, it'll still not finish.The door of my cabin burst open, Alice came inside with an anxious face. ‘‘Alice!! Are you okay?’’ I asked as I stood up and walked near her.‘‘Va.. Valencia..that…that..’’ She breathes heavily as if she has run a marathon.‘‘Calm down first, and take deep breath.’’ I said, and gave her a glass of water. She did as I said and took a sip of water.‘‘Now tell me what's wrong?’’‘‘Valencia, Mr. Sinclair's house is attacked by some underworld gang. Caleb heard the news and immedia
AARON'S POVI opened my eyes as I felt something or someone on my chest, and saw a beautiful, breathtaking sleeping peacefully on my chest.Valencia was sleeping peacefully, her head on my chest, her red lips pouting cutely, her arms wrapped around me. Right now she's looking so cute that no one will believe that a few hours earlier she's killing people like she's killing mosquitoes.When she pleaded to take her in my arms, I couldn't bear to see the defeated look on her and immediately took her in my embrace. She snuggled in my arms then we slowly fell asleep.I looked outside the window and realized that it's already evening. Valencia told us to pack our bags so we can move in her house until this thing is over.My arms tighten around her waist, it feels good to have her in my arms. But I haven't packed my bags so I have to let her go.I tilted my body to the right and gently laid her down on my bed, she held my shirt tightly in her fists, and refused to leave me.I caressed her ha
AARON'S POV We stared at each other in silence, her eyes widened and so did mine. Her towel pools are my feet, unintentionally my eyes trailed down on her body.Fuck!!!That was a bad idea. Her petite figure was too gorgeous to look away from, her waist was small that I could perfectly wrap my arms around her. Her stomach was flat and she had abs!!‘‘What the fúck!!’’ She screamed and pushed me back and picked up her towel and wrapped it around her body. ‘‘You were checking me out!!’’‘‘N..no..no, i didn't mean to!!’’ I said, looking away from her. ‘‘I.. I'm sorry.’’ I was so flustered that I couldn't form a word properly.I felt her eyes on me, she walked towards me then— I was pinned against the wall and her. Now her towel was wrapped around her like before, I closed my eyes to prevent myself from looking at her body.‘‘Open your eyes and look at me.’’ She whispered and bit my earlobe. My body reacts immediately to her touch.I looked into her amber colored eyes, she tilted her h
VALENCIA'S POVI hissed as I shifted on my seat, my arse cheeks are still burning because of last night's spanking. Aaron fúcking Sinclair spanked me!! He spanked me more than twenty times. Hard.‘‘Queen, are you okay?’’ One of my associates asked. I shifted on my seat until I found a comfortable spot to sit. ‘‘Yeah, go ahead, I'm listening.’’ I said and they again started to discuss our upcoming project. It's an important meeting between the head associates and me.Last night was a reckless move by both of us. I never expected him to show up in my bedroom (okay, a tiny part of me wanted him in my bedroom). And I was more surprised because of his sudden apology.I'll lie if I say that his apology didn't affect me, and a strange feeling crushed my heart, because for a moment I thought that he was apologizing for whatever happened between us.It feels so stupid to think that Aaron was in guilt all these years!! He wanted to apologize just because he said something about my mother, whi
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
CHAPTER 169THIRD PERSON'S POV“They're awake? Really!?” Valencia asked in surprise and Romeo chuckled softly seeing her surprised face.“Yeah! 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
CHAPTER 168VALENCIA'S POVWhat the fuck was that thought!?I mentally slapped myself when I had that thought. 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
CHAPTER 164VALENCIA'S POV“Do you seriously want to go alone? Should I come with you?” Adelio brother asked, looking at me with a worried expression.“No, brother! 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! I will love her so much that she will only live in happiness.I will be her protection. I will protect her, her happiness, her shine, her smile, her laugh and everything. She is now mine. And I will always protect my woman. Even If I have to sacrifice my life for i
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
