* Chapter 37 *

" Please let me go and I promised not to say anything to the cops" the shrill cry Val echoed.

A warm smile curled on his lips. His heart ached to see this lady in such a state. If only he could let her know his true identity then she would not be this scared.

He had planned to set her free from the beginning.

" If I let you go, you will have to promise me one thing " he slowly confided.

Wiping her tears, Val sat uprightly as a ray of hope beamed on her face. Desperately she agreed nodding vigorously " Y-yes Anything "

Attending to her appeal, Lennon crossed the room, cautiously peeped from the keyhole satisfied, before returning " Okay. Listen, you will have to return to Alexandre Gates. He is the only one capable of protecting you"

To this, Val's eyebrows furrowed. The happenings of the day were just too much for her to handle.

Why was he sending her to Xander? How did he know Xander?

Most importantly, why on earth would someone

    *Chapter 38* Valeria's eyelashes flickered implying she was about to wake up. Opening her eyes gradually, she saw a vague figure waving his hand at her. Where was she? Why did the brick walls seem too familiar? Discerning a conclusion, she jerked upright. Her eyes darted crazily. How could she be here? " Why am I here? " her slightly groggy voice cackled. The officer who seem to be 1.8m kneeled, took off his hat and eyed the woman who lay on the bare cell floor. Her eyes held a lot of questions. Will he be able to answer them? Sigh!! Getting infuriated, Val queried " Why aren't you saying anything? I asked why am I here?" Rather than replying, the officer pursed his lips for a while. Then words mumbled out one after another. " What was the last thing you remember?" ." Ahh" she held her head as a strong sensation bolted it. " Why does my head hurt so much?" Feeling it, she found out that her head had been bandaged all around. Did she

    * Chapter 39 * " Hello miss Gomez! I am here now. Why are you quiet?" Commissioner Roger opened, taking a swig of his green tea. His mustache twitched. It had been almost five minutes of a mutual staring contest. They both settled opposite each other in a cafeteria still in the police station. It was an area for families of convicts to bring them food. " Why am I here?" she asked diving directly to the point. A weird smile played on commissioner Roger's lips. He raised the cup to his lips and then sniffed his tea. " Why was the broom late for school?" " Huh?! Stop these childish games. You can't run away from my questions you know!! " Yes! She was feeling pretty brave. He was impressed. Roger h

    * Chapter 40 Are you mad Xander?* Commissioner Roger watched them leave with a probing look in his almond eyes. They were bitter and a nook of his lips hoisted into a sly smirk. At this time, a hand was placed on his shoulder. It was his subordinate Noël Carlos. When their eyes were confronted they seemed to share a message. " It is good you let them go. Now it would be easier to prove them wrong" asserted the subordinate pulling a seat for himself. He poured a cup of tea into his cup and added a cube of sugar. Taking to his feet, Commissioner Roger kept a hand on his subordinate shoulder, his eyes still clung at the exit as a dangerous glint gleamed in them. " That's the plan! I have been waiting for over two years for my revenge. Alexandre Gates has to pay for all his sins and if I can't get him, I will get his loved ones " What got him excited was the thought of finally having his revenge on Xander.

Her hands clutched Xander's shirt while she muttered rubbish under her breath. As soon as they arrived at the hospital, Andrew stepped out and spilled everything in his guts. He had been nauseous the whole ride here. The driver shook his head when he saw this " Miss Gomez is pregnant and it is Mr. Garfield who is vomiting " He could not help but laugh.

    *Chapter 42: Give me some time* It had been at least two hours before Jasmine came out of the room. She pulled out her mask once she spotted Xander. He was sitting in the corridor with his head buried in his palms. Still, in the clouds of yesterday, her eyes pricked at this image. Her heart tugged upon seeing him like this; she walked in his direction, then declared, ''It has been successful, Xander. The blood transfer was successful, and she is fine now." In a flash, Xander put up his head, and a smile crept on his lips. He could not help but cuddle Jasmine. ''Thank you, sister-in-law.'' He held her even tighter. Jasmine cracked up, mumbling, '' C'mon, stop pretending now. Go ahead; I know you want to see her now." After hearing her say this, Xander chuckled lightly and released her for his hug. Then he kissed her on her forehead, saying, ''Ok, okay.'' He wanted to flee when Jasmine snagged him by the arm, and she said in a low but serious tone, '' From wh

"Val, do you really need all this stuff? Alexander is rich; he can provide all this." "They are my paintings." She muttered, coming off as more of a question than an assertion. "I know, but you can still paint more. You keep painting about this faceless man all the time. Didn't the doctor say you should not get stressed?" Liza sighed, scratching her head, clearly confused. She wondered why Val suddenly saw they needed to finish these paintings. Was it a side effect of the drugs she took? "She did. " She answered in a wary tone. Her blue eyes stuck to the canvas, while the brushes seemed to have a mind

This is getting out of hand. With the outnumbered list of enemies due to my father's lust, I don't know who is behind this.

"Nothing," he tells me, faking an innocent expression. I look around the empty room, breathing heavily. I can't find anything but boxes in this room. They are all covered in dust.

"The truth is I can't believe it myself. Guys, I am scared," I whisper softly, afraid that the walls may have ears. I am now a mafia's wife.

I zone out during her second lecture because my mind keeps going back to what I said to that man. I'm rambling uncontrollably, and now I can't help but wonder what he will think of me. "The real question is, why do you care what he thinks of you?" a nosy voice in my head asks, and I have no answer. I find myself feeling something for a man I don't even know, while preparing to marry another man for whom I feel nothing.

She has her eyes fixed on a lady making a call from the balcony. I can see the admiration in her eyes. Her outfit is far from traditional, and yet it suits her perfectly. The white mermaid dress trails behind her, sweeping across the floor like a graceful swan gliding across the lake. The dress is long, and yet there is a daring slit that ran up the side, revealing just enough leg to tantalize. Her blonde hair is styled to perfection, soft curls framing her face, like a halo of light. She looks every inch the goddess she is, even if she seems uncomfortable in the attire. I move to aid her, and she
