Markus kept his distance for a while with Lilyana knowing that she was pregnant. He could not afford to get on her nerves at such a time. No matter whose child it was, he did not wish to harm the foetus at all. 

Whereas, Lilyana spent the rest of the few hours of the afternoon in her room. She called the maids in her room to bring her fruits and the desired items. There was no way she was going to face Markus after whatever happened. 

It was already a shock for her that both of them were relatives. Though Markus was right in his stance that Lilyana did not tell Richardson about her marriage. It was not that she hid such a big secret from him intentionally.

They both met when Lilyana was in the hospital and came to know about her pregn

    Markus was excited and had planned an extensive list to do with her in order to win her heart. He was adamant on making Valeria realise that she is still into him. And she should give him a chance to prove himself. Markus was willing to do everything in his power to stop her from marrying Adrian."I'm eager when you will wake up and have breakfast with me. It will be us having a quality after seven months and ten days." Markus glanced at her while tracing his knuckles over her cheek. He had counted every single day which he spent apart and away from her. Even the precise calculation.Markus slumped back on the sofa with a satisfied smile. He stared at Valeria in the position while reflecting on his plan regarding how to proceed next. All Markus could simply think of was a future and a family with Valeria!

    Valeria' whispering was barely audible so that no one outside the room was able to hear her constant sobs. As much as she was trying not to feel guilty about him, Valeria could not help but have sympathy for Markus's reckless antics. "You have to let me go Markus. I have finally managed to mend my broken heart then you popped up. You have to deal with reality even though you are trying to reverse it.You have lost me, and now can't force your love on me."She began to pant heavily from the excessive crying and tried to calm herself while reassuring herself that she had moved on. No doubt, it was not even a question that Valeria still had some emotions for him somewhere deep down. But now she was betrothed to Adrian and Markus was out of the picture for a lot of months. "I have to find a way out before this matter

    "It seemed the only possible theory, Mark." Adrian was still engrossed in thinking while Mark immediately crafted out the list of his enemies to pick the potential culprit. “But who could stoop so low to lay a hand on a pregnant woman?” Adrian was still unable to grasp his head around the fact that Valeria was pregnant and the risk of losing her child or premature birth had increased.“I have a list of everyone, sir. We just have to check for the alibis and find out whose men were there or near the park.” Mark spoke while scrolling on the tablet as scored a private investigator. They had to conduct the interrogation without highlighting that Valeria had been kidnapped. Unless the public announcement was needed.“A lot of precise calculation was required to execut

    Markus paused for a moment having no idea how he should proceed. While Valeria’s worry increased seeing how quickly he switched his moods. He appeared like a maniac to her at that time, the sympathy she had been feeling for him was completely gone. "I didn't mean to hurt you, Valeria. It is just that…..seeing you getting married to someone else made me....mad. I don’t know what happened to me at that time, I felt like burning the whole world.”Markus sounded frustrated and disheartened at first. Glancing at Valeria he raised his hands in the air with a soft smile. Raking through his hair with a scoff, his tone showed his agitation which he felt after hearing the news. "I just knew I had to fly there as soon as possible and explain to you immediately. You know..." His voice broke and grew shallow at once.

    After smashing Markus’s head, Valeria ran hurriedly out of the room. She looked around for the exit of the villa in worry. Valeria dashed throughout the corridor, when she spotted the staircase. Markus kept her on the first floor assuming she would not move up and down. He thought that Valeria would care for her child which would restrict her on the first floor.“There it is, just a few more steps.” Valeria exclaimed after seeing the main door and descending the staircase. She wanted to run away from Markus and find a way to contact Richardson. His thought had become her priority since only he could save her like before. Valeria knew that Markus’s madness had no bounds and before he could harm her, she needed to find a way to get help.“I have to leave!” She reached the down h

    "Hello gentlemen!" Valeria halted in front of them knowing they would not refuse her, though she keenly observed their faces to know whether they suspected her or not. When none of them uttered anything Valeria smiled and folded her arms to make sure they understood her authoritative position.She paused for a moment to keep up her farce and to proceed with her quick persuasion, after a brief moment of staring she resumed."I want a ride to New York." Valeria ordered them with a smile as she waited for them to comply, but when none of them spoke anything instead they all looked at each other in confusion."Now!" Valeria again asserted her tone so they would understand the dire need for the urgent flight. She was running out of time and was fully aware that Markus could catch her any time.

    "I wasn't running, you idiot! I was definitely not running.” She lied to him with a straight face which obviously Markus did not buy. “Goodness! You don’t even believe me now.” He knew what tricks Valeria had been pulling because they both had known each other. Valeria was well aware that making a personal remark which would put her in question, will make Markus become lenient.Before Valeria could say anything else, Markus turned towards the kitchen.He was aiming to correct things which he had been doing wrong. Valeria was his wife by law but he never made the news public. Now Markus wanted to correct that by starting from his home. Valeria panicked as she assumed the staff was going to be scolded because of her."Hey, stop! I said stop right here, Markus!" She yelled a

    "Yeah sure! Everything is my fault now.” Valeria intentionally chose those words to hint to Markus what he had done. She rolled her eyes and Markus dropped her legs in the bed gently. If he was playing with her weakness then Valeria equally knew how to tame him. They both had spent significant years together and knew each other inside out.Valeria immediately crawled back in the bed, knowing that nothing good will come from him now. ‘Come on. React now, I know you are angry. Throw me out.’ Valeria knew his unstable temper and expected him to react impulsively. So, she could guilt trip him and make Markus let her go. However, Markus never laid a finger on her as he was used to smash things in rage.That was why she assumed that he would react the same way. A

    The gentle sway of the cruise ship sailed Valeria into a state of relaxation as she reclined on a cosy couch in the private cabinRichie has led her to. The room was adorned with soft, nautical-themed decor, and the soothing sound of waves making her calm. Valeria yawned, feeling the exhaustion from pregnancy.Richie smiled tenderly at Valeria, noting her weariness. He gestured towards the plush bed nestled in the corner of the room. “You look like you could use some rest, Valeria. Why don't you lie down and take a nap? I'll be right here if you need anything. By the time you will wake up we will be at the shore.”Valeria nodded gratefully, feeling grateful for Richie's thoughtfulness. “Thank you! You are so concerned about both of us.” She stretched

The door creaked open, and Riche entered the room, his presence filling the room with a vibrant energy.Entering with a confident stride he approached Valeria and asked her. “Valeria, my dear, are you ready to go home now?” He sat on the bed with Valeria and kissed her forehead.Valeria turned from the window, her eyes brightening at the sight of Riche.

She could not help but feel good at the thought of going home.Valeria kept smiling warmly as he responded to Riche. “I've been ready since the moment you came here, richie.

    After bidding Markus and Richardson bye, Valeria made her way to her room. ‘Something is definitely not right with Markus.’ With each step, her thoughts swirled with a mixture of confusion and curiosity. Valeria knew that things were not simple as they seemed because a man like Markus was not going to leave her alone.Entering her room, Valeria closed the door behind her and sank onto the edge of the plush bed, the events of the morning weighing heavily on her mind. As she gazed out of the window at the moonlit sea, her thoughts turned to Markus's unexpected surprise. ‘I cannot believe that Markus can change his mind. He certainly has something going on in his mind.’"Why did Markus call Richie," Valeria mused aloud, her voice barely above a whisper. "Especially when he initially wanted to ruin our weddi

    Markus hesitated for a moment before replying, his gaze turning somber as he tried to generate some excuse for Valeria's disappearance. "I have no idea yet but I am looking into this matter.” Markus explained, her voice tinged with anger. “Don’t worry I am personally looking into this. You two relax and go back home together.”Richardson's jaw clenched with fury as he absorbed Markus's words, his mind reeling with the realization of the danger Valeria had faced. "I swear, I will find whomever is responsible and make him pay for what he has done," he vowed, his voice filled with steely determination.But even as Richardson spoke, a sense of gratitude washed over him as he looked at Markus. “You have to look into this matter, Markus. I want the names!” Knowing that without his intervention, Val

I am here for you, Valeria.”As he made his way down the gangway, his eyes scanning the shoreline for a familiar face.Waiting patiently at the edge of the dock was Markus, his gaze fixed on the approaching ship with a mix of anticipation and excitement. ‘Forgive me for doing this without asking you, Lily. But now I will only fix things for you.’As Richardson descended the gangway, his eyes locked onto Markus, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips. With purposeful strides, he made his way towards his cousin."Markus!" Richardson called out as he reached by his side, his v

    ‘Ironic. Isn’t it? I want you now but it is too late.’ As she disappeared inside, Markus watched her go, a sense of peace settling over him knowing that he had been able to make her happy.With a smile of his own, Markus turned his gaze back towards the port, his heart filled with love and gratitude for the woman who had captured his heart. ‘Only if you had loved me this way truly, Lily.’ He saw her going inside when the elderly maid came to fetch her. Valeria’s responsibility was given to her fully and she fulfilled it effectively.As Markus stepped out of the car and onto the soft sand of the beach, he felt a sense of tranquillity wash over him.

    As much as she did not want to believe in him, something told Valeria that he was telling the truth this time. She reached out to gently caress his cheek, feeling the warmth of his skin beneath her fingertips. "Markus," she whispered, her voice trembling with emotion, "I never realized...I…"Markus silenced her with a tender smile, his eyes shining with love and affection. "I've never been good with words, Valeria," he confessed, his voice soft yet resolute. "But know that every moment I spent without you, after you were gone, away from me and all I had was those memory we created together, were the only things which made me see the depth of my love for you. Seeing you becoming someone else’s made me realise my true emotions for you. I know I am very late to confess all this but still I want to say this.”

    Markus offered her a faint smile, gratitude shining in his eyes. "It's not your fault, Valeria," he reassured her, his voice warm with affection. "If anything, it made me realise just how much you mean to me, how much I never want to hurt you again."Valeria's question hung in the air, heavy with the weight of unspoken emotions. “Lily…I…” Markus's expression shifted, his features contorting with a mixture of guilt and anguish. He swallowed hard, his throat suddenly dry, as he struggled to find the right words to explain his actions. "Valeria," he began, his voice barely above a whisper, "I... I don't have an excuse for what I did that night. It was inexcusable, and I regret it more than words can express. I still do regret doing everything which hurt you and made you cry.”V
