However, Valeria was married to Markos Moreno. The catch? He’s in a coma. It was only a matter of time for Valeria to become a widow and be kicked out. Unexpectedly, Markos wakes up and lashes out at her, assuming she did all this for money. His hatred increases upon knowing Valeria is the ex-girlfriend of his nephew. Will she stay with her wheelchair-ridden husband to become a prey of his cruelty? What will happen when she decides to leave without informing? Worst? She's pregnant with his child.
View MoreBack at Bella’s home, in the dimly lit room, Bella paced back and forth, her agitation palpable in every restless step. “Why is he still not home?” Her heart raced with a mixture of anticipation and anxiety as she waited for Eros to return. Each passing moment felt like an eternity, the ticking of the clock on the mantelpiece echoing loudly in her ears.Lost in her thoughts, Bella barely registered the soft footsteps approaching from behind. Startled, she turned to see the butler standing at the doorway, his expression solemn yet reassuring. "Miss Bella," the butler began, his voice gentle yet firm, "Master Eros has returned home."Relief washed over Bella like a wave, her tense muscles relaxing at the news. "Thank you," she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper. With a nod of acknowledgment, the butler stepped
Gabriel gave him last warning as he began to wait for any kind of response from him before he could finally generate some solution in the meantime. Markos had to find some solution to the situationand after hearing those words from Gabriel his brain clicked upon the possible escape.As the tension hung thick in the air, Markos emerged from his hiding spot behind the intricately carved stone pillar. “Hah! Do you really want to do that?” His eyes glittered with a mix of defiance and amusement as he locked gazes with Gabriel, who stood in the centre of the hall, his expression stoic yet intense.With a sly smirk playing on his lips, Markos sauntered forward, his steps echoing softly against the polished marble floor. "Well, well, well," he drawled, his voice
He had no idea why Gabriel had been hungry for his blood, Markos heard the banging noises of the gunshots all around in the hall. He had no clue why the heck Gabriel wanted to kill him so badly, when Markos intended to talk to him and initially aimed to talk out the whole situation.'What the fuck, I have to talk with him about this whole damned matter. That's why I came here not to get roasted by bullets.' Markos heard another shot and the bullet hit the pillar behind which he had been hiding, the man reflexively bent down on his knees when the bombardment of the bullets broke the pillar's cement. Gabriel had been consistently calling him names and wanted to scare Markos as much as he could before killing him.“That doesn't matter now. What matters is that I have the power to expose you for who you truly are. Unless…&rd
The next day Gabriel was standing on a balcony overlooking a picturesque villa, bathed in the golden hues of the setting sun. He nervously tapped his foot as he dialled a number on his sleek new phone. After a few rings, Markos picked up. Gabriel called him by his real name. “Markos, it's Gabriel. We need to talk.” On the other end, Markos's voice is laced with suspicion. “What do you want, Gabriel? I was meaning to come to you already.” “No, this is serious. Meet me at the villa on the outskirts of town. You know the one I'm talking about.” Gabriel curtly told him knowing that Markos must have done his search before coming here. There was a pause, followed by a sigh. “Fine. I'll be there.” The call ended, and Gabriel breathed a sigh of relief. He knew he was taking a risk by confronting Gabriel, but he's determined to put an end to this once and for all. Cutting to the villa grounds Gabriel paces back and forth, his nerves getting the better of him. Suddenly, he heard footsteps a
She knew that her confession would hurt him, perhaps even drive him away, but she couldn't keep the truth hidden any longer. Gabriel's expression softened at her words, his anger melting away as he gazed down at her with compassion. "Valeria," he whispered, his voice filled with tenderness, "I had no idea. Oh dear silly, sis. You women are idiots when in love!”He gathered her into his arms, holding her tightly against him as she buried her face against his chest, seeking solace in his embrace. "Haha, maybe we are. I'm so sorry, Gabriel," she murmured, her words muffled against his shirt. "I never meant to hurt you."Gabriel pressed a gentle kiss to the top of her head, his heart aching with the weight of her confession. "It's okay, Valeria," he whispered, his voice soothing and reassuring. "We'll get through this togethe
The door to Valeria's room swung open with a forceful push, revealing Gabriel standing in the doorway, his expression twisted with anger and frustration. Valeria, startled by his sudden entrance, looked up from her desk, her heart racing with apprehension."Gabriel," she began, her voice wavering slightly, "what's wrong?" Gabriel stormed into the room, his fists clenched at his sides as he confronted her. "Who was that man you were talking to in the corridor?" he demanded, his tone sharp and accusatory.Valeria's mind raced as she tried to gather her thoughts, her heart sinking at the realization of Gabriel's anger. She had hoped to avoid this confrontation, to spare him the pain of her secret, but it seemed that fate had other plans."Gabriel, please," she pl
Bella clasped Eros's face gently between her hands as they stepped out of the villa, the evening sun casting a golden glow around them. The air was filled with the scent of blooming flowers. "Eros," Bella said softly, her eyes searching his face with concern, "are you alright?"Eros smiled, though there was a hint of weariness in his eyes. He leaned into her touch, grateful for her presence beside him. "I'm fine, Bella," he replied, his voice calm yet tinged with emotion. "Just a little tired, perhaps. I will be better after getting home.”Bella's expression softened as she gazed at him, her fingers tracing the lines of his face. “I know it must have been so hard on you," she said, her voice filled with understanding. "But remember, you don't have to be insecure of Gabriel. We ended things officially today.”&n
Liam listened in stunned silence, his expression a mix of shock and sympathy. "Eros, why didn't you tell me sooner?" he asked softly, his voice tinged with regret. “Bella has alway been like this, perhaps she underwent some change recently.”Eros shook his head, his gaze fixed on the ground beneath his feet. "I didn't know how," he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. "But I can't keep pretending anymore. I need to break free, to find my own path."As the weight of his confession hung heavy in the air, Eros braced himself for Liam's reaction, unsure of what the future held. But as he looked up, he saw only understanding in Liam's eyes, a silent promise of unwavering support."I am sure you will figure this out together, Eros," Liam said, his
Valeria gently grasped Eros' hand, her touch a soothing balm to his nerves. With a soft smile, she led him out of her room, the weight of their worries increasing as they stepped into the corridor.She took him to the arcade which led towards the garden. Valeria did not want him to be seen with her. The air seemed fresher there, carrying a hint of jasmine from the nearby garden. "Come, Eros,"she whispered, her voice like a melody in the quietness of the hallway. "You can go out from here and no one will see you.”Eros followed her willingly, his steps lighter as they walked side by side. Valeria's presence brought a sense of calm, a refuge from the storm raging within him. The corridor stretched before them, its walls adorned with tapestries depicting scenes of
Standing at the altar, James glanced at his phone and watched a video. “Where are you going, James? You cannot leave me like this." At the wedding, Valeria Hayden was in a panic. “It is our wedding day, James. What do you think you are doing?” As she grabbed James Moreno's wrist to stop him from leaving, her eyes filled with pleading.The venue was filled with the family and friends of both parties, all seated and waiting. “Why don’t you understand, Val? This isn’t about you.” Just then his phone rang and his ex-fiance Clara called. James ignored Valeria and answered his phone, and then abruptly attempted to leave."Clara knows about our wedding, she’s not happy. Now she's threatening to jump off a building. You are aware of her depression and craziness, aren't you? I have to go save her, Valeria." James explained impatiently and pushed Valeria aside.“Argh!” The push caused Valeria to sprain her ankle, and as she fell to the floor, she awkwardly stretched out her hand, trying to hold...
