The morning came with new hopes and new aspirations. Valentina yawned and stretched her hands.
"Aah!!"
She winced in pain when she tried to move. She looked down and found Xavier snuggling to her. She again tried to move him away but Xavir swatted her hands away and grabbed her waist tightly.
"Mr. Night, it's morning already!!"
Valentina whispered in her morning voice. Xavier didn't want to wake up but hearing such an angelic voice in the morning, his eyes started opening slowly on their own. He was blessed when he saw his little wife's face. Don't know why, he felt a surge of happiness brimming in his heart when he saw her morning face, simple and void of any makeup.
"Aah..mmm.."
Valentina stifled a painful sigh inside as Xavier was looking at her. But Xavier had already seen it. He quickly moved his head from
Valentina scribbled something on her notebook and kept it down when a knock came on her door. She stood up and walked near the door to open it only to reveal Mrs. Night. Mrs. Night forced a smile on her tensed face and walked inside. She stood in front of Valentina and rubbed her hands together, hesitating to say something. Valentina knew what she wanted to say. She stepped forward and held her hands in a grip, giving it a slight squeeze. "Mom, I'll give this marriage a chance. I'll try my best to bring back the old Mr. Night. I'll never leave him alone." A big fat smile appeared on Mrs. Night's face as she hugged Valentina tightly, almost squeezing her. Valentina smiled and patted her back. Mrs. Night pulled out from the hug and caressed her hair before saying, "Thank you so much dear. I promise you, Xavier will never let you down. He will always be there with you. He
° Xavier POV ° I was scared. Scared of her reaction. What must she be thinking of me? "Xavier, I'll handle him. Talk to Valentina. She shouldn't misunderstand you." I heard Lan whispering to me. I nodded my head absentmindedly and he took the vile man away from my eyes. I glared at him till the time he was in front of my vision. As soon as he went away, Valentina came near me and took my hands without saying anything. "Where's the first aid box?" I was dumbfounded when she asked me that. Nevertheless, I pointed at my desk and she went there. I took in her full appearance for the first time. She looked like a fucking teenager. Wearing the jeans and tops and then cap which gave her a frizzy look. Did I marry an underage girl ?? She came near me and made me sit on the couch. She took off her
Xavier chuckled at the lame plan of Valentina trying to get away from him. But he was also stubborn. If he wants a kiss, he will get in either way. He wrapped his hand around her neck and pulled her face near him for a breathtaking kiss but the screeching sounds of knocks on his glass door drew an irritated line on his forehead. He pulled away from Valentina who released the breath she was holding back. Her cheeks turned crimson red at the feel of his raging breath on her lips which were going to be devoured by this demon if not for the knock on the door. "Come in!!!" Xavier exclaimed in an irritated voice. His irritation grew more when he saw the man. 'This old man!!!' He muttered under his breath when he saw the old man aka Mr. Night came towards him with a sly smirk on his lips and his weight being put on the wooden stick he was holding in his
Xavier got a grip over his emotions and growing anger. He never in his wildest dreams imagined that his little wife had gone through so much without her knowing. She lost her mother and is calling someone else her mother. Her own dad is after her life and wants to use her as a pawn in his games. An angry tear rolled down from the corner of his eyes, "Mr. Night!!" Xavier raised his head up when he heard the voice. Grandpa Night had already left, leaving Xavier in deep thoughts and tones of work to do regarding Valentina. Xavier saw Valentina who looked tense. "Shit!!!" Xavier cursed under his voice as she almost ran near him and cupped his face. He knew he was looking distressed and angry and not to forget the tears he held back made his eyes look red and vision blurry. "What happened? Is everything alright? Gran
"Whose house is this?" Valentina asked in astonishment. After lunch, Xavier brought her to the farthest east side of the city. Valentina was mesmerized by the house in front of her. It looked modern and beautiful. She couldn't help but praise it. "Ours!!" The mere response from Xavier swelled her heart with warmness. He didn't say his instead he said ours. "Let's go in!!" Xavier held her hand and led her inside the huge mansion which he was calling a house. Valentina was dumbstruck as she ventured inside the house. It was all black in color except for a few pieces of furniture, the floor and the white ceiling. "Is he obsessed with black color?" Valentina questioned herself. Xavier showed her the whole house. Valentina was tire
° Xavier POV ° It took me a while to finish the office work. It was difficult with Valentina roaming in my mind. My whole attention was how I'll cuddle her after finishing my work. She was becoming an addiction and I was getting addicted to her. It was only a few days that we got tied in this relationship but I feel a connection to her. The way she handled me when I cowered back due to my fear was something that warmed my heart. After the old man told me about her dad being behind her life, I don't remember how many times I killed him in my mind. I'll fucking break his hands if he dares to lay them on my little wife. Shutting off my Macbook, I scampered down to the hall. The sight in front of me had me on my knees. Valentina kept one of the puppies on her lap while she patted his fur and the other puppy slept off in the little basket. I saw two bowls beside her. She might have fed them. &n
Xavier's jaw dropped to the ground as Valentina came out from the trial room and stood in front of him while rubbing her arms as it was still cold. She looked unexplainably beautiful in the summer dress that Xavier couldn't take his eyes off of her. He never in his wildest dreams had thought that she would have curves. Her each and every curve was outlined by the dress. "Gosh!! She is looking hot!!" Xavier's jaw clenched as he heard a vile comment from his left side. He gave a side eye to the staff and they all scampered away like rats. Xavier walked in front of her and towered her with his tall figure. "Is it okay?" Valentina asked in a meek voice. She loved the dress but Xavier's intense eyes were making her feel different and unusual. "Can I eat you alive!!" Valentina widened his
Xavier looked down on his lap and smiled while caressing Valentina's hair as she slept on his thigh in the car. The ring on her hand shone and that just made him feel more proud. He slowly pried her off his thighs and took her in his arms in bridal style. He came out of the car and started walking inside the mansion. "Woof, woof" "Shush!!" The puppies who ran towards the entrance on sniffling Valentina's scent, whimpered back at Xavier's silent glare. They saw Valentina sleeping in the giant man's arms so went away without making another sound. Xavier sighed. He didn't want to ruin his little wifey's sleep. He kicked off hi shoes and wearing his slippers, he walked upstairs. He opened the door to his room and placed Valentina on the bed without making any sound. He took off her shoes and placed them beside the bed. He then proceeded towards her m
"I don't want to do any more assignments!!" Valentina whined and slumped down her head on the table as she looked at the piles of papers she wrote. It had been a week since she joined the university. She was shocked when she got to know Grandpa Night and Xavier both owned the university and days before her first day, Xavier had gone to the University and did his own bidding. She couldn't say anything as whatever he did was right. Or else she would have to face many questions thrown by the students. Valentina had gotten a list of assignments, including a few practicals. She has only two weeks to get over everything which was done in the last two months. Was she complaining? Yes she was. She didn't like the burden but she knew it had to be done. Valentina stood up and went towards the kitchen to get something to drink. Xavier hadn't returned and it was almost 8 o'clock. Xavier had informed him that
Valentina gripped her backpack tightly as she walked inside the campus. The campus is huge with a wide field, students buzzing around, dark academia buildings and what not. Valentina knew that her first day won't go that smooth. She was prepared for any kind of bullying or ragging. Long back was that scared and stuttering Valentina. This Valentina is introverted but knows very well how to show people their place. Valentina walked inside the class and was utterly shocked when everyone stood up looking at her. She blinked her eyes multiple times but then ducked her head and went towards the third row. She was again shocked when all the guys from that row went to other rows and the girls were left only. "What the hell is going on?" Valentina questioned herself. She sat down and just kept her head down. It was awkward for her. Why was she getting all the attention and such weird glances?
The morning came soon. Valen was all set for her first day at Uni. Excited and terrified, she somehow got inside the car and was quickly shifted to another seat which was Xavier's lap. Valentina didn't say anything and hugged him by his neck. Xavier chuckled slightly at his little baby. He patted her back all the way to the University. When they came in front of the university, Valentina refused to leave Xavier and get inside the university. "Baby you need to go. I promise I'll be there soon to get you." Xavier felt like a parent who was consoling his kid to go to school. But in his case it wasn't his kid but his own wife. "Promise!!" "Promise!!" Xavier placed a firm kiss on her forehead and then continued pecking her lips until a wide smile spread on Valentina's face. She waved him bye and went out to venture t
"It's impossible. Valentina has never been close to any guy other than you in her childhood. Even after you left, she immersed herself in books and studies. No way, her picture will be with someone. And Ethan Taylor, I never heard of this man ever." Mrs. Constance paced back and forth in the room. Xavier sat down on the couch, deep in his thoughts whilst elder master, Mr. Night is busy thinking about something. As soon as Ethan Taylor and his uncle left Xavier's office, Xavier didn't waste a second before marching off to Mrs. Constance's house which she brought yesterday. It was still unarranged but right now discussing this matter is more important. "There has to be some link. Ethan was addressing Valentina as his fiance with whom he is about to get married in two months from now. What's more confusing is, he has her childhood picture. Shouldn't he have her present picture to keep with him?"
Xavier and Valentina were busy busking in each other's arms after having their dinner. Xavier couldn't keep his hands away from Valentina as he held her close to his heart and kept on kissing her forehead. Their sweet moment broke when the sound of a phone call erupted in the comfortable silent room. Xavier groaned and picked up the phone. He looked down and Valentina half asleep. He silently went out of the bed to the balcony. "Speak!!" Xavier said to the other side and heard a sharp intake of breath, "You need to come back!!" "Why?" Xavier asked calmly. He knew something was brewing up. His gut feeling said so. Lan exhaled his stuck breath hearing Xavier's calm voice, "Last month, we had signed a contract with a male model and was supposed to work from next month. But now the model
Valentina sequaled in surprise when Xavier tied a white cloth around her eyes. "Let's go," Xavier whispered in her ears, while lowering himself. He stealthily placed a kiss just below her ear that made her shudder. Xavier bent down and picked her up in his arms in bridal style. It took them 20 minutes to reach the place. Valentina was shocked at how for straight 20 minutes, he carried her in his arms. She steadied herself when Xavier placed her feet down on the ground. He went behind her and opened the tied cloth slowly doubling her curiosity. The moment Valentina opened her eyes, her mouth hung open and jaw fell down at the decorations in front of her. Her eyes started filling up with tears and she turned back, hugged Xavier in nanoseconds. Xavier hid his face in the crook of her and smiled against her skin, "Did you like it?"
Xavier was aware of the fact that they can't consummate their marriage now. Even though the attraction between them said something else. Xavier better knew to control before he did something with the flow.Xavier wanted to make every day of the honeymoon a memorable day for Valentina. He wants to make different new memories with Valentina. New memories of their new life. He decided to do something different for her today.A big fat smile graced his lips as an idea struck his mind. He immediately took upon the work. He decided to make the arrangements all by himself instead of taking help.After a whole hard work of 4 hours, Xavier was finally done with his night plans. He was about to leave for the hotel when something caught his eyes. Specifically two small kids. The boy being the eldest and the girl being the younger one. They both were having ice cream while the boy looked at the little girl with hap
° Xavier POV ° I stood up from the bed after I was assured she was asleep. I didn't want to encounter any of her questions before I'm ready. I went towards the balcony and leaned onto the railing. I fished out a cigarette packet from my pocket and lit one. I usually don't smoke unless I'm stressed. My phone vibrated in my pocket and I took it out just to find the old man to call me. With a frown plastered on my face, I answered the call. "Did you both reach safely?" My frown increased more at his concern. I thought he would have his men tagged along with us. "I'll surely not send my man on my grandson's honeymoon." The word grandson felt so good from his mouth after such a long time. Covering my shock state, I decided to ask him the questions I had swimming in my mind, "You knew about Valentina!" &
It took a while to calm down Xavier. Valentina noticed one thing whenever he is triggered by his phobia, he murmurs a few words like ,'leave me' and many more. Valentina was now more determined to dig out his past. Valentina sighed as Xavier slept while hugging her waist and snuggling his face on her chest. Valentina didn't have any other options than running her hands in his hair. Xavier jerked up his face from her chest as her stomach growled due to hunger. "Sorry!" Xavier whispered huskily before pecking her lips and getting up. He wasn't in a mood to go outside after the incident so he decided to have their breakfast in the room itself. Before he could make a call, Valentina tugged on his shirt, "Can we have our breakfast outside?" Valentina asked softly with a smile. She thought maybe some fresh air would freshen up hi
