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
VALENCIA'S POVI woke to my phone ringing loudly against my pants pocket, without opening my eyes I took out my phone and put it against my ear.‘‘Hmm?’’ I answered sleepily.‘‘Great! Here your lover is being my target and you're sleeping peacefully. ’’ I jerked, woke up and sat on the bed, just by hearing the voice. His voice.This voice is the only thing that kept me alive all these years! Because he is the reason behind my miserable life. He ruined my life. He ruined me.‘‘Don't you fúcking dare to touch him! I'll cut you into pieces that even forensic doctors couldn't put your parts together, if you did anything to him.’’ I growled, looking around me but I didn't find Aaron.‘‘Tsk, tsk, I was not going to touch. I was just counting how many bullets can fit into him? What do you think? 500 bullets?’’ He said in his annoying tone.‘‘You—’’ I stopped as I noticed a sticky note on the pillow. I took off the note and read the message.I've got an important call for a conference meeting
AARON'S POVWe were falling down, while bullets fired in our direction. I held Valencia tightly against my chest, trying to protect her from bullets and directly crashing on the ground.God, I don't want to die young! I have not even gone to Paris yet! I wanted to go there for my honeymoon with my wife, my life partner.I have dreamed of my 5 children, two girls and three boys— wait! No, 6 children, 3 girls and 3 boys! So none of my children feel lonely.Please lord save us! I'll stay a monk for all of my life.‘‘Oh really! You want to be a monk? ’’ I heard Valencia, as she looked at me without any fear of falling.‘‘What! Did you hear what I said?’’ I asked. Was I thinking so loudly? Or does she have some power to hear my inner voice?‘‘Yeah, I hear you say 'I'll stay a monk for all of my life.' out loud.’’ She tried to mimic my tone and said with a smirk.I didn't say anything and kept holding her against me. ‘‘You don't want to die?’’ She asked with a closed off expression.‘‘W
VALENCIA'S POVI walked into my house, feeling tired and hungry. I glanced at my wrist watch, it's 12:30 AM in the middle of night.The house was silent, the evidence of everyone gone to their rooms. I walked into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator and took a bottle of water.‘‘Woof! Woof!’’ Tommy and Rocky barks beside me. I squats down to their level and patted their heads.‘‘Shhh…don't be too loud!! Let's go to my room.’’ I whispered and they nodded their heads. I got up and took out their food and walked towards my room with them behind me.I opened the door of my bedroom and waited for them to enter, then closed it. They jumped on my bed, and looked at me with their puppy eyes. I went and sat down in the middle of them.‘‘You both were waiting for me? Huh?’’ I asked, opening their cookie packet.‘‘Woof! Woof!’’ Rocky barks, and Tommy lies down his head on my lap. I gave them both dog's cookies as a treat.‘‘My good boys!’' I said, rubbing their heads as they happily ate the
VALENCIA'S POV I took my black bike, Yamaha R1 black and rushed out of my house. The video was live, and And the more I get late, the more things will go wild. I can't let them destroy the base with their actions. I rushed through the heavy traffic by overtaking the cars and bikes that came in my way. Soon I was on an isolated road and very close to 'Safe place'. I entered in the campus with my bike at full speed, I stopped the bike and threw the key towards the guards to park my bike. I dashed inside the campus, the commotion could be heard from here. I stopped outside the medical room door, looking inside the room. ‘‘Queen! We're sorry for the trouble—’’ Doctor tried to speak but I cut him off by showing my right palm. ‘‘Why are they making a scene after 24 hours?’’ I asked, looking at the both teenage boy and girl panicking, throwing things on whoever dares to get close to them. Their bandages are soaked into their blood, their wounds open and they have few new cuts on thei
