Valerie povI finally made up my mind to tell the whole family that I’m pregnant at the dinning. I returned my gaze to Ron whose eyes never left me and then to Jasmine."I am going--- I am attending the family dinning" I spoke up which made them smile brightly."That's my friend" Jasmine squealed and she held the carrier and she started pushing it out and Ron and I followed behind.Evening came and I found myself standing in front of the huge mirror, staring at my own reflection. I was putting on a blue short sequin kneeled gown that has a cut at the corner, my cleavage was a bit opened and I covered it up with my hands shyly.I wasn't feeling comfortable knowing fully well that my cleavage is revealing to the eyes of people, Jasmine bought it for me and I couldn't reject it, she said I should look sexy for Drake maybe he might come back to his senses once he sees me.What a fairytale!I was putting on a light makeup on, I don't really like much makeups. I took the silver necklace fro
Valerie POV.I didn't bother looking back cause Ron was the one behind me, He already knows that I am pregnant, so why would he whisper it again? I was very furious currently and I needed some time and a quiet place to relax. I really don't want to think about anything presently, I might die from overthinking, and I don't want that. I got into the car and drove him immediately, I stopped in front of the penthouse, came down from my car and headed inside. I sat down on the soft cushion chair in the sitting room and rest on my head on it, If I wasn't pregnant, and it won't affect my baby, I would have gotten a whiskey in front of me, I would have drank it to my contentment cause what I required now was alcohol because it would help me calm down. I walked to the bar and brought out an orange juice. I poured it in a glass cup and drank a sip from it.“Am I living this life for myself or someone else?” I asked. There was no one to answer that question for me, I don't even know the answer
Ron POV.Hearing someone whisper behind me, I turned back only to see Charlotte hiding in the corner of the restroom, I had no idea that she was there. I looked back at Valerie, but she wasn't there anymore, walking angrily towards Charlotte I dragged her over to a corner, she tried to release herself from my hold, but I was too strong for her, I took her to a quiet corner and finally let go of her hand, "How could you hold a married woman like that?!” Charlotte yelled.“A married woman? Is that what you would call yourself? Apparently, you stole the husband of another woman just because of your selfish desire and my brother Drake is too stupid to fall for you, You have no right to call yourself a virtue woman” I reprimanded. I held my anger in, Charlotte was the most annoying person I have ever met, and now that she heard my conversation with Valerie, I would have no other option but to use her.“I don't give a fuck about what you call me or say about me, I am Drake's wife and I woul
Valerie's POV.The sound of the doorbell was so loud that it woke me up, I had no idea if it has been ringing for so long, but I know it woke me up just now, I sluggishly stretched out my hand for my phone which was on the side table, I clicked on the power button, my eyes widened as I saw the time on my phone, it was already 9am. I hurriedly got down from the bed, slipped my foot into my slippers and headed for the bathroom. Wait! What was I going to do? “You are fucking unemployed, Valerie!” I reminded myself with a yell, What was I expecting? I sighed and walked out of my bedroom to the sitting room, My eyes went to the kitchen as I walked out, Jasmine was here last night and because of her, I had so much fun, I would be delighted if she was here with me now, She is the only reason why I smile most of the time.Getting to the door, I looked through the CCTV phone gadget inside, Standing outside was a delivery guy, I don't remember ordering anything and I don't think anymore would
Valerie's POV.I kept looking at the nurse who was looking at me like an idiot, Is she dumb? I yelled because I needed an explanation from her, I have no sister and I don't remember sending anyone to come visit Derrick on my behalf, so why am I hearing something like this? What sister?“Aren't you going to explain to me?” I inquired. “Like I said before, your sister already visited this patient, it was recorded here that his sister visited, I don't understand why you are suddenly fuming up” She answered. Fuming up, she said. Does she expect me to calm down after hearing that someone I don't know visited my brother? What system is this hospital providing?“Can you please shut your mouth? I have been the one visiting that patient for years now, even his doctor knows me and you would be a fucking lair if you say you don't know who I am, why did you allow a total stranger visit him?” I yelled. I was going to bring down this hospital, if she didn't explain to me what's happening and who c
Valerie POV.With Ron by my side, I felt a little safe, we discussed so many things including the names we would give my baby when it is born, I had nothing to do, I would be bored if I go back home, Ron understood my situation, and we decided to stay in the restaurant for lunch, I'm sure the waitress would be wondering why we haven't left yet, but I'm just grateful that he was with me. While we were still talking, I got a call, and excusing myself from him, I picked up the call,“Hello… Yes, I'm Valerie Waters… Now? Okay, thank you” I answered. I walked back to the table where Ron was still waiting for me, “I'm sorry Ron, but I have to go somewhere now, I got a call from the appointment, and I need to go fill in” “Okay, I can drop you off, if you don't mind” He said, standing up. “You don't have to worry about that, I drove here” I picked up my bag and left. I arrived at the company and I could tell that it was a massive one. I can't wait to be a worker fully here, so I walked int
Drake POV.Sitting down on the swivel in my office that was meant for me, I felt uneasy, I was worried, so worried about Valerie and Ron, only I knew the pain I was going through inside of me, The fact that Ron tries everything possible to get close to Valerie and also the fact that Valerie is too easy to fool made me worried, I am jealous I know because I want Valerie for only myself, I don't want her to be seen with anyone else except me.I picked up my phone and switched it on. I have been waiting for Valerie's call to text since morning, and I haven't gotten any. The Valerie I know would definitely call to thank whoever sent her a gift, but I have gotten none from her, I was worried. I tried to calm myself down and ignore the fact that she isn't someone I should be worried about, but I just can't take her out of my mind, she is someone I would never stop thinking about. I heard from a source that Charlotte had laid off Valerie from her workplace and blamed her of theft, I know ve
Valerie POV.This wasn't how I expected my day to be like, I thought I would be jumping happily knowing that I got a job, and I am now independent, little did I know that I would be working with the devil and what? His secretary! What was Ron thinking? Getting me a job in Drake’s office? On a second thought, it wasn't his fault, he only wanted to get me a job, and he didn't know that Drake would own the company. I should be grateful and not blame him for what's happening in my life, I was just unlucky. If I had known that those girls outside were referring to me, I would have kept my thoughts to myself. Now I understand why their expressions changed immediately they saw me.I had no other option than to nod in agreement to his conditions. If I don't work, how would I take care of myself? I can't depend on his money forever, I also need to make money to support my brother and one day own a standard I want to. “I would work as your secretary like you said, and I also hope you keep to
