Sassy Orphan and The Twin CEOs Chris, Valerie, Chase: The connection revealed
Chris had a bad feeling about everything. At first, for some time he thought he would embrace every chance he would possibly find to be away from Valerie, but after getting to know her, now that it would possibly happen he felt scared. He realized until then that saying goodbye to her would break his heart. It was about four as they went downstairs to Valerie’s room. Tasha barged in without knocking. She began opening Valerie’s bags, wardrobe to see if she could find the money.“Whoa, what is wrong with you?”, Valerie kept yelling as she kept wondering what Tasha was up to.“Mr Malvins, can you tell me what is going on here?”, she asked eager to know. Chris sighed and said, “My safe is empty and l left the money in there before leaving for the trip. Now its empty”.Valerie was surprised, hoping it wasn’t what she was thinking.“So what do l have to do with your little safe?”, she asked her eyes open wide.“Don’t call it little Valerie, that’s hurtful. There were millions in there”, he

“Wow! You had quite an adventure”, Chase said with a feeble smile.“Not one l would want a repeat of”, Valerie said . “ls he your twin brother? I mean Chris, you are identical to him”, she asked. Chase stood up, as if trying to avoid the topic. He walked and stood by the window, looking at the fresh flowers outside. As the scent of the white lilies filled his nostrils, as a blast from the past filled his mind.“Yes. The worst twin brother to ever live”, Chase scorned. Valerie felt an ache in her heart. “Chris never told me he had a twin brother”. “We aren’t exactly best buddies, so I am not surprised he never mentioned me. We don’t get along. More like we disowned each other”, he replied, a frail laugh coming out of him, with evident pain.“But why?”, she asked.“We are just naturally different. So after our parents died and the properties shared, I left and started a new life on my own”, Chase said. Valerie did not reply. A lot of things were in her mind. After that Chase explained

“Please excuse us”, Chase politely asked his chef as soon as she had served them. He shifted his gaze to Valerie.“Valerie, I want to talk to you about something”, he stated as he sat comfortably on a rich, velvety, soft dining chair.“Chase , l know the inconvenience, I promise l will leave tomorrow”, she pleaded. Chase looked at her, taken aback.“Valerie…I was not going to ask you to leave”, he replied with a kind expression.“You weren’t?”, she whispered. He softly held her palm. “I know you are going through a tough and confusing time right now. Why don’t you stay here with me?”, he asked. She stuttered,“ I don’t know what to say”, she said.“Just say yes. You can stay for as long as you want”, he assured. She felt a lump form in her throat as her eyes welled up. “Thank you so much. That is so kind of you”, she said her voice barely a whisper.“I am glad I could help”, he said as he shrugged. “Now eat, lady!”, he said cheerfully. She looked at all the food in front of her, grille

The next morning, Chase forced himself out of bed as his stomach growled with hunger. Still somnolent, he pulled his feet out of his bedroom, only to be startled by Valerie standing still right by his bedroom door, holding the same newspaper to his face he had tossed into a trash can about 2 days prior, because of how sarcastic it was. It headlined that his and Chris' coincidental leave from work was an attempt to resolve their differences. How ridiculous! Her expression was stiff, as if trying to show him he owed her some sort of explanation, which he felt he didn't. "Chris resigned?", she asked breathlessly, her eyes aflame."Uh, no. He just took some time off work. That's what I read", he yawned, as he walked past her, to make his way to the dining room to have his breakfast."But why?", she asked as she followed him."I do not know. I didn't even know this happened coincidentally when I took my own leave from work ", he replied. "But you could have told me", she said. Chase stop

"Chris?", Richey called. He remained frozen. He approached and shook him."Chris?", he called once more. He opened his eyes and blinked. He groaned as he tried to pull himself up from the ice cold floor. Richey helped him up and sat him on the cough. Confusion plastered all over his face, Chris blurted, "What time is it?".Richey looked at him, concerned. "Chris you can not keep doing this to yourself. Snap out of it!", he said. Chris didn't answer. His head was spinning from drinking two bottles of gin the whole night. He speculatively looked around the house and asked, "Where am I?". "You are in your own house. I dropped you here yesterday remember, and put you to bed", Richey said and sighed. Clearly, you continued drinking after l left", he said as he stood up and reached for the window. "It reeks to high heaven like a downtown bar in here".Chris, in uttermost confusion, slumped down and lay on his back. It wasn’t after several seconds that he vigorously turned his head to the fl

The elegant glass door swung open and he stepped in. The soft hum of conversation from the lobby enveloped his ears. A flurry of activity erupted among the gathered crowd. The paparazzi came alive, cameras clicked as the reporters jostled for position, a murmur of excitement rippling through the morning air.His tall, handsome figure commanded attention, his broad shoulders and confidence letting out an aura of determination. The eyes of the employees and media representatives clung onto him, the media vying for a piece of him.With a subtle nod, he acknowledged the gathered media and employees, his presence electrifying the atmosphere. The air seemed to vibrate with unspoken questions. As Chris strode purposefully toward the reception desk, the crowd parted, allowing him a clear path. The soft click of his shoes on the polished marble floor seemed to echo through the lobby, punctuating the silence. In that moment, it was clear; Chris Malvins was back and he meant business.As he made

Five months had passed. Things settled down and everything seemed to fall into place for everyone. Chris got it together again and resumed work. Chase had resumed work three months prior. Chris’ wedding was around the corner and the air was electric with love_ and as the lilacs blossomed, so did Chase and Valerie.Valerie and Chase had been living together and they had become inseparable. Whatever love portion or enchantment he had used on her undoubtedly had an effect. Even she couldn’t resist his charms. She was head over heels in love with him. Chase claimed to be in love with her too. Valerie had never felt that way with anybody before and Chase as her first love, he was dearly special to her. She felt she had her knight in shining armour in him and he was immensely in love with her, that he would never look at another, again. There seemed to be burning passion between them, she was addicted to his smile, his cologne, his body, the same way he was addicted to her. Or maybe that is

As a commotion erupted at the garden entrance, Chris caught a glimpse of Valerie being escorted away. Without sparing another second, he jerked from the altar and strode towards her. As tension accelerated in the crowd, the paparazzi shifted focus from the altar to the entrance Chris Malvins was headed to.As Chris approached, his heartbeat increased. “Valerie?”, he called as he pushed the guards away from her. “Valerie is this really you ?”, he asked as his hand caressed her face, hair…as if to be sure it wasn’t a ghost in front of him.“Valerie cut off his moment of perplexity. “Chris, there is no time. I have to tell you something. Now!”, she insisted.“ But Valerie…I have been looking for you…?”, he said.“I have to tell you something, get back into your head”, she said.“Do tell”, he said. Valerie looked at him with a burning eye. “Not here”, she said, as she took notice of the cameras clicking at them.Chris grabbed her by the hand and headed to the mansion. As they walked, the

Just then, Chris swiftly changed the subject. “So just be strong friend. Time is like a river. You can’t touch the same water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again, so enjoy every moment of life”.“What was that?”, she asked, surprised at his words.“Oops! Forgive me, I just can’t help but become poetic in this garden of …”.She burst into laughter. They both now felt tired as it was running late. Chris accompanied Valerie to her hotel. “ I will just put you to bed and l will be out”, he promised. Valerie sat in bed, then it was time for Chris to go leave, but he kept on moving about.“You want to tell me something?”, she asked.He looked at her, surprised. “It shows?”, he asked back. “Well, I was wondering if I could spend the night on the couch”, he said, hesitantly. Valerie said nothing.“You won’t even know l am her, I promise”, he said.“And why would you leave the comfort of your home for a small uncomfortable, hotel couch?”, she asked, she had been aston

Chris quietly walked around the room, watching Valerie sleep. Without warning, his phone made a loud ringing, disturbing Valerie from her peaceful sleep. It was a call from work and he just had to take the call. After hanging up, he apologized to her.“I’m sorry l woke you up”, he said, sincerely.“Not a problem”, she said assumingly as she yawned and stretched. Valerie felt herself loosening up to Chris’ presence because frankly, he was all she had during this turmoil.“How about you take a shower?”, he ordered. Valerie kept gazing at him, and didn’t say a word.“I was thinking maybe we could order some food, afterwards”, he suggested. She comprehended what he was trying to do.“Chris, l am fine, you really don’t have to…”, she stated.“ I wasn’t asking, it was a command. Now, off you go…give me twenty steps to the bathroom!”, he blasted, a faint smile on his lips, hoping Valerie would find that humorous. She giggled and stood up immediately, pulling her feet to the bathroom.“Aye, C
Sassy Orphan and The Twin CEOs Hush now, sweet soul.
Chris stood still, frozen. His phone right in his hand. He didn’t know where to start. He wasn’t at all worried about his twin brother being teased mercilessly on the media for cheating on Valerie. He wasn’t pleased too by the masses claiming he was more organised and trustworthy compared to Chase. His only worry was on poor Valerie, how she was coping , how she was taking the betrayal.The previous day, Chris had felt her dilemma. He couldn’t see through her though, he couldn’t fathom why she kept on giving Chase so much power over her. Right from the moment she had caught Chase having sex with Dora red handed, she should have given him a piece of her mind, shown him what she is made of, sued him even. However, Chase had taken her love for him as a sign of desperation and weakness. He wondered how Chase had been blind to see what an incredible woman he had. Her immense love for Chase was visible in her eyes, and Chris knew it was pure and true. Still, all that worried him was Valerie
Sassy Orphan and The Twin CEOs Leaked, again
Chase woke up to the violent buzz of his cell phone. He stretched his hand to grab the phone but before he could get a hold of it , he noticed something quite usual and off. He closed his eyes and opened again, then now he felt more awake and ready to start the day. Just then, his ears heard a sound. A faint sound, yet undeniably the sound of an angry mob. Just as he started to see a clearer picture of what was happening, he hurried out of his bed and shifted his gaze to the window.His eyes instantly grew larger. Was that an egg that had just landed on his crystal clear glass window? Pacing to the window, he got the shock of his life. His security men were trying to ward off an angry mob off his yard. It was quite visible how the security men were struggling, almost being overpowered. One spotted him standing by his window, clueless and instantly raised a finger and posted straight to him, shouting, “ Cheater! Cheater!”.At once, the visibly angry mob shifted focus to him , and let o

In his vintage, uptown mansion, Chris had been snapping his fingers nervously, his gaze fixed on the blank wall. His mansion was visibly secluded from the rest of the elite neighbourhood. One could describe the mansion as basically lone, and quiet in a bothersome way. Nevertheless to Chris, it was the most refreshing place he could ever be, after that long tiring day of work in the city. He could not shake off the feeling that something would inevitably unfold because of Dora’s sudden arrival. He was greatly concerned about Valerie now more that ever, hoping Chase wouldn’t hurt her as he had predicted before. Dora’s sudden appearance in the city only , he perceived was worrisome and only meant one thing. Trouble. Now only three days to Valerie and Chase’s wedding. Even though he had lost the woman he wished he had to his twin brother, he still cared for her, and hoped nothing bad would come her way. Like her husband to be’s troublesome ex girlfriend out of the blue showing up at their

Answer me honestly, I deserve to know the truth”, Valerie asked, firmly.“I used to. Or l still do, I don’t know Valerie”, he replied.“Oh?”, she said with anger and pain. “And me, I was an option?”, she asked, scared of the answer he would give her. He did not say anything for a moment. Valerie grabbed him by the arm and dragged him to their bedroom and locked the door. As Dora trailed behind them, Valerie sent her away.“I need a private moment with my man, if you don’t mind, Mrs Home Wrecker?” , she said.As they entered the room, Chase switched to defence mode. “Valerie, believe me l had no idea she wo…”,he begged.“Shush, don’t say a word. I understand what you’re going through, the confusion…l get it”,she said, with ease. Chase couldn’t hide his surprise. He wasn’t expecting Valerie to be suddenly so calm. Hesitantly, she took off her engagement ring and held it to his face.“You know this makes me so sad right now, but l have to give you space to think about this, so could you
Sassy Orphan and The Twin CEOs Betrayal's sting
Right at midnight, as the mansion was filled with dead silence, Valerie suddenly woke up from her slumber. She recalled the incident that had unfolded earlier and tears trickled at the corner of her eyes. She had cried herself to sleep and now, she vowed she wasn’t going to start again.Still drowsy, she stretched her hand towards Chase. Still feeling her hand against the sheets, she knew Chase wasn’t there with her. Hours before during diner, an intense argument had erupted between them, but to her surprize, Chase had seemed not bothered at all. Perhaps, he had seen her asleep and thought they’d talk in the morning.Valerie felt her anger was justified. Chase had been excessively rude to her, he had to be the one to apologize. Valerie couldn’t help but feel something was off and…wrong . Why was her husband to be acting so strangely only five days before their wedding? “Had she done something wrong?”, she kept thinking to herself.One thing was clear. Chase must have had some unresolv
Sassy Orphan and The Twin CEOs The cracks begin
Valerie impatiently paced up and down the room. She was a mess; still in her pyjamas, her hair undone and her body quite sweaty. Chase had not been back from work since the previous day and she was sick worried about him. Her calls were going straight to voicemail and he was absent from work. By then, it was almost two in the afternoon and he hadn’t even bothered to text. She kept on praying that God keep him safe wherever he was.As she was about to throw her body on the couch, the telephone rang. A private number was calling.“Hello”, she answered, her voice filled with irritation.“Val, how are you?”, a voice responded. Immediately, Valerie knew who it was and her mind geared into an adversarial mode.“You! What is it?”, she yelled. “What do you want from me now?”,“Whoa! How did you even know it’s me?”, Chris said, his voice sounding cheerful, contrary to her menacing voice.“No one calls me that except you…so duh!What do you want,anyway?”,she asked.“I wanted to thank you for the

Valerie could barely recognise herself anymore as she gazed into the mirror. Her reflection revealed a stranger. Her hair once black and straight, now blonde and curly, cascading down her back in bouncy waves. Her make up too had become bold and flawless. Her nails impeccably manicured. Once she favoured simple, comfortable clothing but now, she would wear designer clothes and sleek dresses. “Just one last show”, Chase would always promise, but there was always another.In the haste of the wedding preparations, Valerie had intentionally erased Chris out of her mind. She had chosen to forget him, but she felt he wasn’t the only part of her life she had swept under the rug. She had forgotten how it felt like to be herself, she had missed the simplicity of life, like just walking on the sidewalk, or strolling in the park without the paparazzi running after you. Now, she felt as if she was slowly loosing herself in the process of being a billionaire’s fiancée.Her life was now plagued by
