AARON'S POVI was talking to Valencia when someone pulled me back and slammed me against the wall hard!! Caleb, her manager— not anyone to her, was glaring at me.‘‘Why were you so close to her?’’ He asked in a concerning tone and I don't like it even a little of his concern for her.Why is he worried about her? He's just her manager, not boyfriend!!‘‘Caleb!! That's rude! You can't push him away like that.’’ Valencia says, her eyes widened as she stood up and stood between me and him.‘‘He was standing—’’ He put his palm near his face, ‘‘This close to your face!!’’ He added, looking at her with frowned eyebrows.I grabbed Valencia's waist and pulled her aside— away from him. ‘‘Do you even know what I was saying? Or you just saw and slammed me against the wall?’’ I said in a stern voice, glaring at him.‘‘It doesn't matter! You can't get close to her. ’’ He shouted. ‘‘But…what you were talking to her about?’’ He asked, raising his eyebrows.‘‘She—‘‘ I pointed at her. ‘‘She didn't

VALENCIA'S POVThanks to my bulletproof vest, the bullet didn't kill me and instead it hit the vest. I grabbed my gun, turned around and shot at the man in a second!!He dodged it and again pointed his gun towards me but I swiftly moved and tackled him to the ground, punching him in critical points of the body.He tossed me aside and punched me in the stomach. I quickly recovered from the effect— ignored it, and looked at him running away from me.He is fully covered in red clothes, a ghost mask on his face, and a badge of venomous snake wrapped around a broken heart and black smoke covering the background, wrapped around his arms.My body went cold, my vision turned black then red.

VALENCIA'S POVI was sitting outside of the medical room, waiting for the doctors to finish the girls' check up so I could go back to my office before my family knew about the fight.A cup of coffee appeared in front of my face as I looked up to see Alice. I took the coffee from her and she sat next to me, sipping her coffee.‘‘Why are you waiting? You already know the results.’’ She asked, as I took a sip from my coffee.‘‘I know what doctors will say, yeah. But I still want to know in full detail.’’ I replied, looking at the empty space.It's early morning! And you have not slept even a little last night. Alice said, but I was zone out to reply to her.The door of the medical room opened and the lead doctor walked out, he looked shocked after seeing me but nodded towards me. ‘‘Queen, let's talk in my cabin.’’He led the way to his cabin and opened the door for me to enter first, I took a seat and sat down across his desk. Alice stood behind me, as the doctor went to his seat and fl
AARON'S POV ‘‘You have a great business!’’ A voice came from my behind and I looked back to see Archer, Val's brother coming towards me. ‘‘…Thank you, my dad teaches me business.’’ I replied, looking at him standing next to me and looking down at the city. It's been 3 days since I last met his baby sister. 3 days since I hurted her, not only physically but emotionally too. I wanted to meet her but the thought of hurting her stopped me. She hasn't been at home for 4 days. What I heard from her father is she is currently working on many deals that's why she is not able to come home. ‘‘I heard that you started this company without any help? Even from your parents?’’ Archer asked, looking outside the window of my office cabin. ‘‘That's right, yeah. I wanted to start my own business without my family's help.’’ I said. Archer De Von Cruz has been the best businessman of the year for many years. He and his brother, Adelio De Von Cruz, rule the business together. But, no matter how dif
AARON'S POVWe were waiting outside of the doctor 's room as they tried to save her. I looked at a male doctor…. maybe in his early thirties.He checked her pulse and heartbeat and attached some syringe and other hospital equipment in her arms. He was not doing anything to help her to get back her consciousness.‘‘Are you sure he's treating her? He isn't doing anything to help her?’’ I said to her family. ‘‘Yeah…he's been her doctor for years. He can treat her.’’ Mr. Cruz said, but I can sense his doubt.Adelio couldn't wait so he went and knocked on the glass door. The doctor set all the things then came out of the room and looked at us.‘‘James!! How long do we have to wait? Just say it if you can't help her!’’ Adelio shouted in frustration. That man 'James' shook his head and closed his eyes for a moment.‘‘She is not in her mind. Her pulse is weak, almost nothing. I need time to treat her.’’ James said.‘‘Will she be fine?’’ Archer asked, staring at James.‘‘I need to hypnotize h
VALENCIA'S POVI was sitting in the passenger seat as my dad was driving the car. My palms are sweating a little bit because of the thick tension in the car.I didn't look in his way, not after I pulled that stunt with James. The memories are still visible in my mind, when I slipped into my dark place. I was relieved and furious both when I opened my eyes.Relieved because……forget about it, that doesn't matter. But I was furious because James hypnotized me and tried to know about my dark place.I don't want anyone to know about my dark place.They should never find out about my darkness. That only belongs to me, I don't want anyone to take part in it. I only know the meaning of 'black and red'.‘‘Princess! Are you hearing me?’’ I came out of my thoughts when my dad shook my arm and called my name.‘‘S…sorry, what were you saying?’’ I asked him, but he just looked at my face then again focused on driving.I sat silently as dad drove the car to our place, the lake. Dad says that this p
AARON'S POV‘‘Forget about it, about us. ’’ I said, looking at her. Valencia looked at me without saying anything, her gaze darkened then she stood up.‘‘Huh! Where are you going?’’ I asked and quickly held her wrist. She turned back and her left eyebrow lifted as she looked at me.‘‘Who are you?’’ She said, without any changes in her expression.‘‘Wh…what!? What are you saying?’’ I asked in surprise.‘‘You said 'forget about it' so who are you again?’’ She said, and shrugged her shoulders.That's when I realized that she misunderstood my words! Or I said it like that? Well, I didn't mean that.I tucked her wrist and she fell down on my body on the bed. ‘‘What the—’’ She cursed as her head hit my chest. ‘‘What are you doing? Leave me!’’ She exclaimed, beating my chest with her small hands.I wrapped my right arm around her waist, shushing in her ears. ‘‘Calm down, allow me to correct my words.’’ I said, tucking the strand of her hair behind her ear.‘‘Leave me! I don't want to hear

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

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

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

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.

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.

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?
