CHELSEA'S POVHow did he get to find out? But Valerie was asleep when I walked in and ate the food. Oh! I forgot he said, he is aware of anything that happens, which also means that Valerie's room has a security door. "Are you surprised? Haha, I am sure you were not expecting this" Ezra said mockinglyEveryone was looking at me to say something. I was already feeling hot inside my body. Can there be a clock rewind? "Chelsea, so you are the one that ate the food and Valerie was starving. I had to quickly get another one for her" Jason said in awe"Whoever that can do that and conceal it can be able to kill. Chelsea, you are evil" Ezra said"Chelsea, what are they saying? Is it true?" I couldn't look at my friend. This was a big humiliation. "Beta, you don't need to ask her. She knows that we can't lay a false accusation without being sure about our findings" Ezra was being sarcastic now. "I guess she must have been starving. That was why she chose to stay alive for me""You always
VALERIE'S POV"Help? What happened?" "Valerie, I need you to follow me now. There is no time for questions" Jason said. I quickly followed him to Ezra's room. When we entered his room, he was groaning in pain, blood was gushing out from his left foot. "Oh my goodness! What happened?" I rushed to him. He couldn't utter a word, he was in deep pain. "Jason, are you just standing here without thinking of what to do? Call the doctor quickly" He brought out his phone to call the doctor. "Ezra, pls be patient, the doctor will soon arrive" I quickly got one of his shirts and tied it around his foot to reduce the out flow of blood and to prevent germs from entering the open wound. "I think the doctor is here" Jason said"Go and fetch the doctor up here" I repliedWhen the doctor arrived, he was shocked to see what happened. He quickly got out his first aid box and started treatment. Ezra cried in pain. It was my first time seeing him weak."What really happened to him?" The doctor asked
VALERIE'S POV"I think I will leave the pack. But where will I stay, that is my concern?" "Are you really the one asking such a question? Then why am I your friend? Valerie, you are always welcomed in this place. That shouldn't get you worried""You mean to tell me that I can get my things and stay here?" "Why not? Seems you don't know how much I value you?" "Oh my! Thank you so much Chelsea. You're not just a friend but a sister to me" I hugged her dearly, with the whole of my heart. I thought she meant well for me. I never knew she wanted me out of the pack so that she can have full access to Ezra and also to poison his mind against me. I got home that day. I met Ezra in my room waiting for me. My heart was really pounding. "Where are you coming from?" "I went to Chelsea's house. She taught me another way to make some pasta" I said smiling. I knew that was the only lie I had to say to get my freedom. "Pasta?" "Yes, and I enjoyed my stay" "Why didn't you tell me all these w
VALERIE'S POVBeta went to open the door and it was Chelsea that was knocking heavily. "Chelsea, what is it?" "Ezra is here" I heard what she said and became scared. I walked up to them. "Where exactly?" "He is outside with some guards" I started fidgeting. What exactly was he looking for? I thought Jason must have explained to him that I was not here. "So what do we do? I am really scared" Beta placed his hand on my shoulder. "Go inside dear, we will fix it. They won't find you here" "I will get her bags here, in case they want to search her room," Chelsea said."What if they decide to search his room?" "They dare not. After all no one dares search his own room" They closed the door and I was inside. Soon, Chelsea brought my bag and told me to remain calm. "Stay here, Beta will lock the door from outside" I nodded my head. Soon I heard Beta locking the door. I sat down near the door and was eavesdropping. I could hear his voice. I noticed that Chelsea's and Beta's voices
CHELSEA'S POV"We shall see how things will play out. Let me go and check what she is doing" I stood up and left my friend to think. I met her cooking with so much excitement. "Valerie, you haven't explained to me why you are just smiling and shining your teeth whenever I talk to you" "Can't one be happy again?" "Of course, why not? Afterall happiness is free" "Well, I just found myself happy and one more thing" I looked at her and asked what it was? "The Beta is so sweet and can make a woman happy more than Ezra" "Really? I feel jealous now. Maybe I need to find a man for myself so that I can taste what you meant" I pretended to say. She laughs. "Chelsea, I will be happy if you find a good man like your friend. I must confess that he has treated me so well" "That's nice. I am happy that you have finally met real love and peace. Do you need help?" "Not at all my darling. Just go and relax, I will handle it myself" I wondered why she doesn't want anybody in the kitchen. She
VALERIE'S POV"Why are you looking at me that way? Why the surprise? You are surprised that I heard it right? Chelsea, why would you hide such a thing from me? You know how much I love your friend, why can't you tell me that I am good for marriage" Chelsea and Beta looked at each other and bursted out in laughter. "What's funny?" I asked them"Valerie, are you the one saying this? You don't need to worry my dear. The discussion is left for you two" Chelsea said "Then, what about the test? Explain further" "Valerie, let's finish our meal before talking about that" I allowed them to eat their food, and as for me my appetite has gone down. I was just picking on the food. I just wanted to be alone in my room, so I locked the door and prevented anyone from coming in. Hope I was not making any mistake? Why did I tell them that I overheard their discussion? There is something I don't understand. Everything is cloudy now. If they want me to marry Beta, I don't think it is something to h
VALERIE'S POV"You what?" I stammered. It was like a dream and needed someone to wake me up from such a dream. "You heard me right?" Was this a joke? Does she think I am making this funny? "I want to understand something here. I know you are joking, right?" "Valerie, read my lips. I am not joking" "But why? You made me hate him and now you have turned back to love someone you discouraged me from loving" "Hmmm, what do you want? But you are in love with my friend, do you expect me to keep watching you two making me jealous?" "Really? Now I know how deceitful you can be" Chelsea started laughing, what was that for? Why was she laughing? "And what's funny?" "So you would believe that I came to see Ezra?" She bursted out laughing again. I became so confused. Was she using my head? "Did you just pull my legs?" "Valerie, I can see that you still love Ezra" "No, I don't. But..""But what? Don't allow the Beta to find out. I came to see Jason please. Ezra is not my kind of man an
VALERIE'S POVWhen I opened my eyes, I felt a sharp pain in my head. "Ahh, my head" Jason was sitting beside me, he stood up and asked if I was okay? "Jason, I feel pain in my head" "Yes, that is because you fell with your head and passed out" "Passed out? All I could remember was that there was a doctor" "Yes, the doctor confirmed you pregnant" That was when I recalled all that happened. How could I get pregnant? But I was not experiencing any of the popular signs. "I can't take it. The test must be done again" "Ezra has made up his mind. I don't think he will accept that. The only reason why he left you was because you passed out, if he finds out that you are awake, he will send you out" This was a big problem already, I know he will hate me for what I did. Now everyone thinks that I am pregnant. This is so unfair. How do I amend this mistake. Chelsea had caused more havoc and wants to render me helpless. Immediately Ezra walked into the room. My heartbeat increased. If he
