“Oh my God! Why are you crying, baby?”Surprised, Valerie sat beside the little girl, who was crying. She was confused as hell, why was Audrey crying? She didn't say anything to make her sad, or did she?Valerie patted her back, and wiped her tears with her hands. “Audrey, what's the problem? Why are you crying?”Audrey sniffed hard, and dropped the chips on the bed. “Miss old-fashioned?”“Yes, dear?” Valerie raised a brow.“Is it possible for anyone not to have a mommy?” Audrey asked with tears circulated in her eyes, and Valerie swallowed hard.“Huh? Of course not. Everyone has a mother, there's no one who has no mother” Valerie commented.Audrey smiled dryly, and sniffed a little before saying, “Does that mean I'm the only one who doesn't have a mother in this world? I think I'm the only one who has a father with no mother”.“What? Listen, Audrey, there's no way you won't have a mother. I'm sure daddy has his reasons for telling you whatever he must have told you” Valerie kissed he
“Uhm… Actually, I came to… I came to give you some of this. Audrey told me it's your favorite snack, so I thought it was considerate of me if I'd share some with you”.Valerie turned into a stammerer in the twinkle of an eye. Staring at the President kept giving her the chills. He's so hot that she feels like she was going to get burnt looking at him.Ethan stared at her, and sneered a little. “What good can it be? I don't think anything made by you would even be nice”.Valerie blinked her eyes rapidly. Gulping hard, she nodded her head with a faint smile. “I'm sorry, sir. I apologize for interrupting your activity” She turned to leave the room.“Hey”Her heart skipped a beat. Did she do anything else wrong? Why does the President want her to stop?“Holy crap! Should I keep getting into trouble? This is such a huge mess”.Valerie halted, and reluctantly turned around, wearing a nervous smile. “Sir?”“Are you so confident that the snack you have in that tray is good?” Valerie nodded h
Justin bowed his head slightly, and swallowed hard. “Can you please let me in? I promise I'll be quick with whatever I want to tell you”.Valerie exhaled deeply before rolling her eyes. She would rather not face Justin. I mean, why would she want to face him? He is her half sister's fiancé, and most of all her ex-boyfriend.“I'll give you 10 minutes. Once the 10 minutes elapses, you'll have to leave then” Valerie heaved, and Justin nodded as he got into the sitting room.“Can I?” He asked, pointing at the couch.“Yeah”Justin sat quietly. There was silence between both of them for a few minutes before Valerie broke the silence. “What do you want? How did you find out where I'm living? Why are you here to see me?”“Actually, I really apologize for coming unannounced. I'm sorry, Valerie” He sniffed, and Valerie scoffed.“It's nothing. I don't think there's any reason for you to apologize to me. What do you want, Justin? What made you come here? I don't want Patricia to find out that you
“I'm sorry, Miss. But I'm actually the one who got hurt, not you”. With that, Valerie got up and glared at her. She was so furious that the woman was being rude. The woman was the one who bumped into her, so why the hell was she angry and even yelling at her, since she was burnt?Snorting in disgust, the lady tapped her on the shoulder. “You peasant! What gave you the right to talk back at me? I'm sure you're just a new servant around here, you swine”.Valerie's arm was already sore and reddened. The pain she felt was unbearable, and talking to the rude lady was the least of the things she wanted. She packed up the vacuum flask on the ground. “I'll clean this up”.“Hey! How dare you walk out on me?” The lady grabbed her arm, and Valerie winced in pains. It was the same arm that the hot soup had poured on.“REBECCA!” A childish, but tiny voice screamed from the front door. The lady quickly freed Valerie, who groaned in pain.Rebecca, the rude lady, smiled dryly as little Audrey walked
“Damn—”Rebecca kicked the table in annoyance. The thought of what she just saw made her even angrier. “Is that girl really just a nanny? What kind of nanny gets carried by her boss to bed? I hope she's not going to become a thorn in my flesh”.With that, she grabbed the bottle of dry gin on the table and gulped it down again and again. She wasn't going to let anyone take him away from her. She didn't come all the way from Washington to watch a mere nanny take Ethan away from her. Hell no!If there was anything that she so much wanted, that would be to get the freaking nanny out of the house. Then, Ethan's words rang in her ears.“Lastly, if you really want to get on Audrey's good side, I'll advise you to be nice to her nanny” Meanwhile, at Justin's apartment, Patricia was sulking bitterly. Justin, who was sitting opposite her, was sipping the tea in front of him, not minding the fact that she was crying.Patricia kept whimpering, and sniffles hard before turning to Justin who seems
“Sir?”Valerie's jaw dropped in shock. Maybe she has a poor hearing problem, if not, why would the President care if she's feeling better or not.The President shook his head, and walked towards her. Her heart was racing fast as his pace increased. This should be a dream. Rebecca, on the other hand, kept glaring at her. If the eyes had bullets, she would have shot her dead that instant.“Ethan, why do you care? I mean, she's getting the appropriate medication. Let's just go upstairs, I'm sure you're tired, and needs to rest” Rebecca snapped, and Ethan halted.“Yeah right. This is partly your fault. And she's my worker, who is taking care of my daughter. You don't expect me to leave my child in the care of a wounded woman, do you?” The President countered expressionlessly.The President got close to her, and took her hand. He glanced at her scald arm, and nodded calmly. Valerie felt her heart racing. Was she scared? What exactly was making her heart race? Was it because the President w
“Get your f****d up ass out of my way”Rebecca pushed the servant who was standing right beside her away. Anger engulfed her. The thought that Ethan chose a mere nanny over her made her go crazy.She had always wanted Ethan for herself, but she never imagined she would fight over him with someone as lowly as a nanny. He even turned down her offer of him following her to the party.Immediately she stepped outside the mansion, she walked straight to the car. The Lamborghini's door was already opened. She hopped into the car, and the driver drove off immediately. “That god-damned nanny! I can't believe you, Ethan. You actually sided with a nanny instead of me. This is really getting out of hand” Rebecca lamented.No matter what, she must get that nanny out of Davison's villa.“That peasant will never be the reason I'll lose Ethan. I'm too close to go back. I have to take back what's mine. Watch your back, damn Valerie Watson”.Meanwhile, at Justin's apartment, he was seated in the sitti
“Me?”Valerie stared at him with fear written all over her face. The President raised a brow at her, and scoffed dryly.“Yes, you” Upon hearing him, Valerie choked. After coughing helplessly for a few seconds, she replied. “You… Do you want to eat me? I… I really don't understand…” “Are you silly? Why the hell would I want to eat you when you're not consumable?” Ethan snorted at her, and she swallowed hard. Probably, she was relieved to hear him say that.“I'm… I apologize for the misunderstanding, Sir. Actually, I shouldn't have” Valerie forced a smile at him.President Ethan glared at her, and turned his gaze away. “You just asked me who I would like to cook, and I said it was you who I wanted to cook for me. You're so indecent”.“Sorry”“Listen, I'm giving an hour to prepare for this. I know an hour is too much, but that's because I just want to fair to you, since you're not the cook. Beef stew and mashed potatoes” The President snapped, and turned to the laptop on the table. Va
Walking out of the prison with her hands cuffed together and led by the police, Claudia approached the visiting room.She grinned maliciously the moment she saw Valerie and her husband, President Ethan, seated, waiting for her. “Why are you here, Valerie? I'm sure you are here to mock me, but you shouldn't rejoice yet.”Trying hard not to burst into tears, Valerie held Ethan's hand tight. “What have I ever done to you, Claudia? Why do you loathe me so much?”“Ridiculous! Do you expect me to love you? You must be stupid to think I will love you. All you ever did was take everything that I wanted for my daughter and myself. I wish you'd die, Valerie Watson.” She spoke with so much hatred.President Ethan smirked at her. “Before you can kill her, you'll have to get through me first. I, personally, will make sure that you rot in jail.”“President, it's my daughter who you should have gotten married to. She's the one who would have become your daughter's mother, but this thwart took that a
Claudia's eyes widened in shock. She wanted to speak, but words refused to come out of her mouth.“So this is what you've been planning, Claudia? You just want to kill me and take everything I own away from my biological daughter?” Mr. Watson blurted out.Patricia sniffed hard as she rushed to Mr. Watson. “Dad… Dad… I've always loved you as my father. I have never colluded with her to hurt you.” “Get your filthy hands off me, you daughter of a bastard! I have lived with you for so long without knowing that you're not my daughter.” He continued.With that, Claudia went on her knees, sobbing helplessly. Of course, she knew her little show was about to go down. “Eddy, you heard wrong. I didn't mean it that way… I… I…” “Shut your mouth, you chronic liar! You think I wouldn't find out, right? All you've ever done was tear my family apart, and give your bastard daughter a place where she has no place. How dare you, Claudia?” He yelled at her.Sobbing uncontrollably, Patricia rushed to hol
The gate flung open, and a sparkling sports car drove into the magnificent mansion of the Davison's.Immediately the car halted in the parking lot, the door was opened and Rebecca got down from the car.She blew the gum she was chewing noisily as she approached the entrance. The guards standing at the entrance greeted her in chorus. “Good day, ma'am.”Ignoring the greetings, she turned to one of them. “Get my luggage from the car trunk immediately.”“Yes, ma'am.”She walked into the house. Her eyes caught Valerie's figure seated in the sitting room and watching television. She fluttered her lashes in disgust.“What's that b*tch doing here? I thought Ethan would have annulled their freaking marriage.”Walking to the sitting room, she picked up the remote control and turned the television off, before turning her gaze to Valerie. “Why are you still here, you thwart?” “Rebecca, why did you turn off the television?” Valerie asked curiously.Rebecca scoffed. “I see you've got guts, right?
Valerie couldn't stop sobbing. Tears kept falling down her cheeks. “Val, will you stop crying? Do you think crying will solve the issue? You're only going to fall sick if you keep this up.” Susan tried to console her.She shook her head, sniffing hard. “How do you expect me to react? Susan, how do I face the public? Did you see the scornful words I'm getting from people on the internet? What have I done to deserve this?”“Listen, I know that whatever it is that was seen on that movie projector, it must be a plot.” Susan told her.Breaking into tears again, she continued lamenting. “How do I face the world, Susan? And Ethan, how is it going to face the public after the kind of shame that I rubbed on his face? Have you forgotten that all his business partners were present? Most of all, how is my daughter going to see me? Susan, I don't think I can take this anymore. All I want is to go far away from here, I can't stand it any longer.”“To go far away from here? You must be kidding me,
The car drove into the church, and Valerie got down from the car with Susan. Immediately President Ethan sighted her, he ran to her with smiles all over his face. “Hey! Are you okay?” “Yes, I am. Why do we need to switch to another car on our way here? I mean, we were supposed to drive in with a Lamborghini, but we took a bus instead.” Valerie stared at him confused.President Ethan smiled. “Actually, I just had a bad feeling about it, which is why I had you guys switch to another car. I just got a call that the car you were in was ambushed.”Fear gripped Valerie as her jaw dropped in shock. She stared at her friend, who was also as gobsmacked as she was. “Ambushed? Someone got shot, huh?”“Apparently, the gunners thought you were still in the car, which is why they ambushed the car in the first place. Smart enough, I figured out that something bad might happen.” Ethan smiled.Exhaling deeply, Valerie bit her lips. She just couldn't stop herself from panicking. “Ethan, are you sure
“No, you listen to me, Ethan.” Mrs. Davison yelled at him angrily.Calmly, Ethan sipped from the glass of orange juice and replied. “For the past few years, I've always listened to you. Mom, I practically do every single thing that you've ever wanted. This is the only thing I've decided to do, and you're not going to support me, really?” “Ethan, you're my son. I can never deceive you. That woman, you see that Valerie girl, she's not the one for you. Have you forgotten that you have been engaged to Rebecca for almost three years?” She continued ranting.Ethan scoffed. “An engagement that I've already called off, or is there any other one that I don't know of?” Raising her brows in surprise. Mrs. Davison asked. “I beg your pardon.”“That's true, Mom. I already called off my engagement with her. Likewise, I told her that we were done.” Ethan replied.Visibly shaking in annoyance, Mrs. Davison couldn't stop herself from giving Ethan a deafening slap. “How dare you, Ethan?”Without sayin
"Oh, my God! Girlfriend, this is screaming luxury. I don't know how to thank God for uplifting you like this. I'm so happy for you, Valerie. Who could have imagined that you will not only have everyone's dream wedding, but an expensive car and a beautiful daughter. Of course, your handsome husband to be.” Susan shrieked in delight as she ran around the luxurious car parked in front of their apartment.Valerie didn't even know how to express her excitement. “In my entire life, Susan, I've never dreamt of seeing such a car, talk more of being the owner. You know how wretched I was, right? I don't need to tell you how I lived from hand-to-mouth just to be able to feed. What would I have done without you and Andrew?” “Val, you don't have to tell me. I know every f****** thing that happened. Actually, you know my favorite color, right? That's going to be the color of my dress.” Susan chuckled.Valerie giggled. “Come on, Susan. I'll do that and more for you. You deserve the best after trea
Tears circulated in her eyes. It was tears of joy, definitely. She never dreamt, or even thought, that she would see herself being engaged in such a romantic way. Being a surrogate mother was undoubtedly the best decision of her life. She couldn't help but jump in excitement as the man of her dreams knelt right in front of her with her beautiful daughter.The servants and some of Ethan's friends were cheering her. “Say yes! Say yes!! Say yes!!!”“Please be my mommy. This has always been my dream, I've always wanted to be with my mother. Make my dream come true, Mom.” Audrey held her pinky finger as she handed the banquet of flowers to her.Valerie sniffed hard, and nodded in agreement. “Yes… Yes, I will marry you.”Immediately she said those words, Ethan slipped the diamond ring on her finger and quickly carried her up. Everyone cheered in excitement.As soon as he dropped her, they locked their lips together, making their little daughter blush. Audrey quickly covered her eyes with h
Audrey was seated in the dining room, eating hungrily, when she sighted her mommy and daddy walking downstairs. Her eyes bulged out when she noticed her daddy holding Valerie's hand so tight.“Good morning, baby.” Valerie smiled at her as Ethan helped her draw the seat out and she sat down.Audrey gulped. “What's going on, mommy and daddy? Why are you guys holding hands?”“Isn't that what you've always wanted? We are together now, which means you'll be getting a complete family soon.” Ethan snapped at her.She gasped with smiles all over her face. “Really? This isn't a joke, right, mommy?”Shyly, Valerie nodded her head in agreement. “Yes, Audrey. This is not a joke. Your daddy and I are officially dating.”“Oh my God! That means I'm getting a younger sibling very soon, right?” Audrey jumped for joy.Upon hearing Audrey, Valerie choked as she turned to look at Ethan. Surprisingly, he was smiling broadly and nodding in affirmation of what Audrey had just said. Valerie twitched her brow
