"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.

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.

That the man dared to assault her mentally and even tried to cage her.Valeria was still thinking when Richie barged in. “You know love, you shouldn't have done that! I know you have heard everything and the panic on your face has just confirmed my hunch.” Valeria was startled seeing him in front of her out of nowhere. It seemed Richie had been keeping an eye on her to find the truth.The man spoke to her with a smirk and a half cold expression which made Valeria gulp and regret her decision of coming with him.
