VALENCIA'S POV‘‘Missy? Are you in the washroom?’’ Alice's voice came from the bedroom. I looked at Aaron, who was equally shocked, but I quickly composed myself and removed my legs from Aaron's waist and stood up.‘‘Val—’’ I put my palm on Aaron's mouth, before he spoke. Alice's hearing is strong and if she discovers him here, with me. Then— No!! I don't want to think about that.‘‘Yeah! Alice, I'm in the washroom.’’ I said loudly, but Aaron struggled and pulled my hand away from his mouth.‘‘Listen to me—’’ He whispered but I again slammed my palm on his mouth.‘‘Shhh… don't talk!’’ I whispered, but when he tried to speak again, I changed our position and pinned him to the wall.‘‘Valencia, I've put your breakfast on bed, have it after your shower.’’ Alice said.‘‘Okay! Thank you.’’ I replied and heard the bedroom door closing sound, then I sighed in relief.‘‘Hmm...umm?’’ Aaron mumbled, that's when I realized that my palm was still on his mouth. I quickly pulled my hand back and wa
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

Read it at your own risk, or skip it. ||VALENCIA'S POVPunch.And punch.And fúcking punch.I punch the sandbag until both of my knuckles get bruised and my left side's each and every muscle hurts whenever I move my hand.My breathing was a little faster than usual, I unwrapped the boxing strips from my hands while walking towards the couch. I sat on the couch, took a sip of water and looked outside of the window.The sun was setting down and darkness surrounded the sky. It's been 2 days since Aaron accidentally hurt my shoulder, and 3 days since I last went home.My brothers and dad came to visit me in the office, telling me to come home and leave the work for later. But the pending and previous deals are too much to leave unattended.I couldn't have one day off from work, after I came back to France. The workload is increasing day by day, new projects, queen's responsibility, and other
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. The only thing I see is red blood, I immediately ran after him, shot him but he's wearing a bulletproof vest.A man crashed me against the wall, I had to bite my lower lip to suppress the painful groan. I pushed him off and shot him then again ran after the masked man.He was going to sit in his car, but I
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
