Chapter 4 - No one can take your place
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56~~ Everyone has a chapter that they don't read out loud ~~
Phewww!!!
Valentina sighed as she gazed at her image in the mirror. Dressed up in a shimmering white bridal gown with a veil covering her face and trailing behind like a fish tail.
She wasn't feeling weird like the other times. This time her heart was racing fast as if warning her of something good. It was two days after her mom announced her marriage. And now she was here getting ready to marry her mysterious groom. She didn't know why her mother was hell bent on getting her married. Since she turned 18, her mother has been bringing proposals for her which she successfully denied because somehow the prospective guy had some faults. Two months back before her 20th birthday, her mom announced her engagement with one of her colleague's sons. Valentina couldn't find any fault in that guy. So she did the thing which no one could imagine. She got the guy kidnapped and held him captive till the engagement ended and everyone blamef the groom's family that the groom ran away. She then made a fuse saying the groom ran away just before their engagement.
Mrs. Constance got to know about that lately. But she couldn't do anything about it now. She knew her daughter was a trouble maker. She was ecstatic when her father's best friend approached her with his grandson's proposal. She was even more happy when she got to know about some of the facts and untold chapters which she was unknown to. Mrs. Constance happily agreed to the proposal as her daughter couldn't find someone better than HIM.
Valentina grabbed her gown and went towards her drawer. She bent down and opened the second drawer and took out a picture.
"You are supposed to marry me. I even gave you my first kiss. Now see, I need to kiss someone else and get married to him. Arghhh!! Why does mom want to get rid of me so soon? Just wait and see, the day when I'll find you, I'll divorce my so -called husband and elope with you."
Valentina made a promise to herself. She has loved only one person and will always love him no matter what happens.
"My baby!!!"
Valentina heard a voice and turned around. She saw her mom with teary eyes standing by the door. She stood up and walked near her. Mrs. Constance cupped her face and lovingly kissed her forehead.
"Mom, why are you doing this?"
Valentina asked in a helpless voice.
"I just want to protect you from your father, baby. Nothing else."
Valentina sighed and nodded her head. She knew what type of man her father was. She also knew her mom had more reasonable reasons to get her away from this place.
"You will never regret my decision, baby. Don't worry."
Mrs. Constance said and held her hand. She led her outside with the help of a few beauticians.

° Xavier POV °
"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? WHAT THE HELL DID YOU THINK BEFORE DOING THIS?"
My anger knew no bounds when I heard what the old man was sprouting.
"My decision is final. Today is your wedding and get ready in the black suit. You have 30 minutes to get ready."
My nose flared in anger. I banged the nearby glass table that caused my hand to bleed and the glass to shatter in a million pieces.
Last night, we flew to Country B to attend the wedding about which Mr. Night didn't tell me anything. Now I'm here at the wedding venue. I was shocked when I saw my name attached with some other name, most probably the bride's name. The most surprising thing was that I'm the supposed groom of the bride whom I don't know.
Now, I'm standing in front of this old man demanding some explanation about that ruckus he has caused. My mom and Lara stand beside him. Their faces said everything that they knew about this setting from the start.
"Don't cause any trouble here and get ready. Or else, you don't know what I'll do."
I looked straight into that old man's eyes which showed nothing but coldness.
"What will you do?"
I challenged him to which he gave off a sinister smile and pulled out something from his pocket,
"I heard that you brought a plot somewhere in country B. You even paid 10 times more than its actual price. I hope you won't mind if I take back the plot as basically I'm the owner of it and build a villa there to live in."
No,no,no he can't do this. He can't snatch that plot away from me. I had to work hard to buy that plot. The owner was never ready to sell it. When he decided to sell, I didn't waste a second before buying it. But how come this old man is now the owner?
No, I can't let him take away the plot. The plot has my most beautiful memories with dad and someone special, someone close to my heart after my dad.
I fisted my bloody hands that made blood drip down from my knuckles. I stared at him with my bloodshot eyes and stated coldly,
"I'll do what you say. In return, you won't do anything to that plot. You won't even wander around it."
I pointed my finger at him.
"I don't even want that useless plot. It's just to convince you."
That old man said with a malicious smirk. Oh!! How much I wanted to wipe that smirk off his face.
He went away after instructing mom to help me out.
"Xavier,,,"
Mom said as she held my bloody hands. I sat motionlessly on the bed and she tended to my hand.
Lara brought the first aid box. I was so indulged in my thoughts that I didn't care about what was happening.
"Why does he hate me so much?"
My voice came out as a whisper as I looked at mom and questioned her.
"Xavier, your grandpa doesn't hate you. Whatever he does, there is a reason behind it. If he planned to get you married, then there is something good for you in it. I saw the girl. She is beautiful, well-behaved and kind. And moreover you are 29, Xavier. You need someone to stay with you, take care of you. I agreed with your grandpa because if he hadn't done it then I would have never seen you exchanging vows and could have never seen you living your life just like before. Trust me, Xavier. You will never regret your grandpa's decision."
Mom explained to me emotionally. She was right in some places. But what about my heart? What about this beating organ that beats for someone else? Someone else resides here. How can I marry this unknown girl when I love someone else in my heart?
I ushered mom and Lara to go out. They both denied at first but seeing my state they went away giving me some time.
I sat down on the floor pulling out my wallet from my pants pocket. I opened it and an anklet fell down giving off a jingling sound.
"I'm doing this only for you. I know I can never get you. But I can't let that place slip away from my hand which holds our precious memories. I'll always cherish our memories. I'll always love you. No one can take your place. No one means no one."

Xavier rolled his eyes at Grandpa Night and stood up from his seat. He was angry at himself for acting like this. How could he be just mesmerized by her beauty? He met many more beautiful women who tried to lure him or seduce him. Then why is he attracted to her? 'Because you didn't see such innocent and natural beauty before.'

~~ Let things happen in a flow. Your one wrong step would destroy everything ~~Valentina opened her eyes groggily when she felt something unusual around her. When she opened her eyes, she was met with darkness and a shadow which was sitting beside her.At first she was scared but when the manly cologne hit her nostrils, she sobered up. She was married and was probably on the plane with Xavier.What scared her was not the darkness, rather the incoherent murmuring that came out of Xavier's mouth. It sounded painful as he stuttered on his words."Mr. Night!!!"Valentina didn't call him with his name because he isn't her friend nor someone she is close to. Was it the actual reason or she was shy to call him by his name?``But still you kissed him twice!!'Valentina's conscience mocked her. Ignoring i

He gripped the thing more tightly when he saw the darkness again. "Aaah!!" Xavier sobered up when he heard a wincing sound. He looked up from the soft pillow and was shocked to find a sleeping Valentina underneath him. His eyes widened when he realized he was sleeping on her chest. Red hue covered his ears and neck. He couldn't even remove himself from her as she had a deadly grip on his torso. "Little one!!!" Xavier whispered in his raspy voice. "Ummm, mom, two more minutes!!" Xavier chuckled, forgetting his surroundings. If it was any other time then Xavier would have created an uproar by now. But at this time he didn't care about the dar

~~ Words hurts more than sword. Use it with cautiously ~~ Valentina's jaw fell on the ground as she saw the image of a very handsome half naked Xavier wiping his hair with another towel that hung around his neck. A towel wrapped around his waist and that too loosely that a simple tug can open it. Xavier had gone inside the washroom the moment he entered his room. His sweaty body was causing irritation to his skin. He felt bad that he left his newly married bride in the car alone. A part of him felt bad. But the agony and fear of the last so many years made the hurt vanish into the thin air. Xavier took a warm shower and came out in just a towel owing to the absence of people in his room. He started wiping his hair with the towel unaware of a pair of eyes that stared at him as if he was some kind of alien. "Fuck!!" Xavier cursed under his br

Valentina flinched when she heard his raspy voice. "Young master, it's me Maria. The food is ready!!" "We will be there in 30 minutes." Xavier informed and turned back at his little wife who was breathing heavily. Xavier smirked when he saw her swollen lips and red cheeks. He caressed her lower lips and placed a peck there. Valentina closed her eyes tightly when he again pecked her. She opened her eyes when she didn't feel anyone's presence near her. She saw Xavier entering the walk-in closet and sighed in relief. This man is an actual devil i

"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 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
