VALERIE'S POV"What? You mean it is fake? How come?""Chelsea, do not pretend that you are not aware of the fake result""Ezra, why would you say a thing like that? I don't know what you are saying""Doctor, please go ahead""It is a false result because I was asked to do so""Who asked you to give us a false result?""Ezra, is that necessary? You have known of the false result, now just take a drastic action. You are delaying everything""Beta, don't rush me. Allow me to do whatever I want. Please continue"Everywhere was becoming tense. I knew I was right when I suspected these two friends. I only wonder what Ezra will do. "I was paid""By who?""Valerie is not pregnant, she only has a little change due to weather. I am sorry for the mistake""You have not yet answered my question""Chelsea and Beta paid me to fake the pregnancy result when they realized that she was not pregnant" "That's a big fat lie. What do you mean by "we paid you?" "There is no need to pretend, we have been
VALERIE'S POVI woke up to a sharp pain that coursed through my entire body and I gasped and curled up in a tight ball. I tried to remember what had happened, but my mind was a blur of confusing images and memories that refused to come into focus. I groaned and opened my eyes, wincing at the bright light that flooded into my vision as I tried to look around my surroundings.I am Valerie, a stunningly gorgeous lady with captivating looks that always leaves my onlookers in awe. I don't want to brag or anything but I am an embodiment of beauty and charm. I am also kind and empathetic.I realized that I was lying on a bed in a strange room, surrounded by unfamiliar objects and furniture. It took me a moment to realize that I was not in my room but in someone else's. Panic set in and I tried to sit up, but the pain was too intense, and I collapsed back onto the bed with a groan."Valerie, are you okay??" a voice said from the doorway.I turned my head to see a man standing there, watching
A FEW MOMENTS LATER As soon as I entered the bathroom, I sank onto the cold, hard floor and tried to gather my thoughts. I sat on the bathroom floor, surrounded by the sterile white tiles and the faint scent of cleaning supplies, trying to make sense of the memories that were flooding back to me. I had trusted Chelsea so much in my previous life and even considered her a very close friend, but now I realized that all along, she had just been using me to get closer to Ezra. I was so pissed that I trusted someone like her. She's just so deceitful! The thought of her betrayal felt like a physical wound and it broke my heart into a million pieces I couldn't stem the flow of tears as I remembered how she had always pretended to be there for me, offering help and support when all along her true goal had been to drive a wedge between Ezra and me. She was just a fucking jealous bitch!! Damn it!! Damn me for trusting her and letting her fool me!! I felt so foolish for not seeing it before, f
VALERIE'S POV As the sun rose on the fourth day, I found myself lying in the same position on the bed, staring at the ceiling and wondering why Ezra wouldn't come to see me. It was just like in my previous life, things between us had taken a dark turn after the night he forced himself on me. Ever since he left the room that night, he had become distant – he was avoiding me. He had disappeared for three days. I felt like I was stuck in a never-ending cycle but that was about to change because, in this present life, I had the power to break this cycle and change my life for the better. During these days of Ezra's absence in my life, I tried all I could to get close to him but he didn't want to give me a chance. I called him on the phone but he always declined my calls. I tried to visit him but he ordered his security guards to never let me in. He avoided me like I was some sort of plague and it bothered me. All the efforts I made to see him were futile. But on the fourth day, as I la
EZRA'S POV"What's going on there??!!" I asked again after waiting for Jason to reply to my question but I heard nothing from him. I was angry, so very angry that one could feel my anger through the phone."Why did Jason call me?? What was Valerie doing outside of her room? Why was Ian there with Valerie and why was he talking about taking her away??" All these thoughts came flooding into my head at that moment and it overwhelmed me with so much rage. I stood up from my chair, my broad shoulders expanding as I straightened my back. My eyes which were usually focused and serious as I pored over documents, now burned with a fierce intensity.With purposeful strides, I made my way toward the door – my footsteps echoed through the room. I clenched and unclenched my hands, anticipating the fight that was about to happen. But just as I was about to unlock the door and head out for war, I heard Valerie's voice through the phone. The call was still connected so I was able to hearevery sound
A FEW MOMENTS LATERI paced around my office like a caged lion and my heart raced with anticipation. I couldn't wait for Jason to bring in Valerie. I straightened my tie, adjusted my shirt, and ran a hand through my hair, hoping to make a good impression on Valerie of course, not Jason.As I walked back and forth, I couldn't help but think about her. I was so anxious to see her. And then, like a dream come true, she walked through the door. My heart skipped a beat as I saw her, looking as radiant as ever. I couldn't resist any longer, I had to show her how I felt. Without a second thought, I walked up to her and pulled her into my arms. The world melted away as I kissed her, feeling her soft lips on mine. It was a moment of pure passion, a rush of emotion that I couldn't hold back any longer. My lips lingered on hers for a while and I didn't want to pull away. I felt so pleased with how she handled Ian regardless of her reason.After a while, Jason cleared his throat to remind me of
EZRA'S POV I looked at my friend suspiciously and knew that something was wrong somewhere. Ezra couldn't believe what his friend said,Ezra couldn't believe what he heard!. "Are you really sure of what you just said?" I asked him, staring at him eye-to-eye to make sure he meant his word. "I am perfectly sure," he responded. I became confused. I looked at where Valerie was sleeping peacefully, I couldn't imagine not spending my lifetime with her. "Ezra, you have to take my advice. Remember, if you end up with her you will definitely lose your position" He knows that I don't joke with my position. "Is there anything that can be done if this rumor is true?" I asked. "Nothing, you just have to accept your fate and move on" He responded I felt so weak and was speechless. I know my friend very well and I trust him with my life.I even get most updates from him. But, this was too much for me to bear as it concerns the one I truly love. My friend stood up from his seat, adjusted
Not quite long after getting to my quarters, I heard a knock. "Come in," Chelsea walked in. I wondered what brought her to her place. "Valerie, I came to check on you but you weren't available, where were you?" I knew that Chelsea was definitely up to something. I was sure that Chelsea never came around to check up on Me. "I went out" I replied her.I wasn't in the mood to talk. Chelsea knew how to bug me with questions and I wasn't ready for that. "I am sure you went to see Ezra, but the securityguard wouldn't let you. Why not forget about him and move on" She said I was getting upset with this wrong advice from Chelsea. I was trying so hard to contain my anger."Jason helped me and I saw Ezra" I replied trying to observe her facial expression.Chelsea knew about it, but she felt bad. "So how did it go?" She askedI knew that would be the next question. I was ready for it and tried as much as possible to give her a positive reply. As far as I am concerned,Ezra is mine and nobody
