"Martin you aren't staying for breakfast?" Grandma Riri, who was doing her normal routine at the kitchen, asked the moment she saw Martin step out of the room, arranging his dark suit."I'm skipping, I have to be at work" he replied without sparing a glance at the old woman."What about Valerie, she should be eating by this time?" As she noticed Martin was about to leave again, she hurriedly asked.Martin paused and gave her a look through his shoulders. "I think she might have to sleep a little more before she comes," he replied before he found his way out of the house completely.The old woman was confused with what Martin was saying but she just shook her head, this young stars and the way they behave these days is their business.***Martin got to the clan and as usual the mob gangs were already greeting him to show how much they missed him even though he was always cold to them."Do you guys notice something today? The boss is looking a little happy""Maybe he's finally seeing a
Valerie didn't really care much about the explanation from her sister because her mind was focused on the movie she was watching until her phone began ringing.She opened it and Emma stylishly peeped, hoping it was Martin but it was Evander. She rolled her eyes.Valerie picked Evander's call but he bombed her with 'bad news' instead."Valerie, Martin won't be able to return for sometime" Evander started, sounding a bit nervous."Why? What's wrong?" Valerie narrowed her eyes. Somehow she was also feeling worried with the way Evander sounded. Did anything happen to Martin?Even Emma was trying her best to peep and hear what Evander was about to say about Martin. She wanted to know if he was okay or not?"Martin actually got shot while working" he dropped it and Valerie almost screamed but he was quick enough to beg her to reduce her voice. "I'm telling you behind his back because he would get angry if I do it in front of him. Please don't let Grandma find out, keep everything in low key
Meanwhile Martin was laying on his bed, his head and chest and hand were bandaged when Evander walked in with a phone in his hands."Don, Valerie called twice and she sent you a text message. Seems like she is worried about you"Martin's eyes went open upon hearing that. "She really called?" He asked not being able to believe what he had just heard."I'm a serious boss, so what should I do, should I reach out to her and tell her you're doing fine or should I ignore it?" He asked."You should ignore it" a familiar voice sounded which made Martin and Evander roll their eyes.It was Tyler again, all he did was always come in to bug them when they were having a plan."I'm serious guys, it's rare seeing Valerie reach out to you so why don't you take this moment, maybe her feelings for you might grow a bit" he said completely when he entered the room.Evander crossed his arms angrily, Tyler was so annoying and he loved not to give up especially when it comes into bugging Martin but on the o
Emma smirked and jumped up from her bed. She locked the door from behind before screaming."I'm not coming for dinner!!"After that, she hurried changed her clothes into something more exposing then rushed to her window to peep down, calculating on how to jump."Time to get a rich boyfriend" she let out a devious smile, knowing what her next plan would be Meanwhile Valerie angrily went back downstairs. She went to sit beside the old woman and rubbed her forehead tiredly."I'm tired of Emma, I'm trying my best to make her happy but she's not appreciating. All she complains is that she wants to do things for the family and at this point, things are really dangerous for her! How can a nineteen year old complain of putting herself out there for people to handle" Valerie sighed and threw her head backwards, allowing it to touch the couch."My dear, I have grandchildren aside Martin and I raised them up when they were all teenagers, although Martin didn't give me much problem because of wh
"But my money don't come for free, you'd actually have to pay a price" as he talked, his voice came above a whisper and Emma found his big hands on her laps.He was tracing upwards while staring deeply into her eyes. Somewhere behind them, Tyler was busy drinking and talking with two girls but something pushed him to look forward and he did. He narrowed his eyes to the sight that just came to him.Isn't that Valerie's sister? Why was she letting that man touch her like that?"You're not paying attention to us Tyler" one of the lady turned him back and made him face them.Tyler decided to ignore but his eyes went back there and this time they already stood up and were already heading to a stairs probably to get a room or something."What does she think she's doing?" He stood up and walked towards them. As Emma was about to enter a room, he got to them and grabbed her forearm."Emma, what are you doing?" He asked then his gaze trailed to the man she was with. "And who is this?" He adde
Valerie couldn't sleep well knowing that Martin hadn't replied to her text and she also tried reaching out to Evander but he wasn't picking up her calls either. Where did they suddenly disappear too when she needed to hear from them badly?A thought came to her head and she decided to sit straight. If she couldn't hear anything about Mason or Evander then maybe she should go back to the clan and see things for herself.This was the thought she had in mind before she finally closed her eyes to sleep. Meanwhile Emma just got back home, she could get back to her room the way she escaped so she was thinking of how to use the front door without that old woman or Valerie suspecting her.The front door was locked and she went from the back door, it was also locked so how would she come in? She only knew how to jump down from her window but to go up and climb back inside her room was what she was afraid of.The door suddenly opened and someone threw something outside. Now it was coming to her
While still in her thoughts, she accidentally bumped into someone she didn't expect to see here. The person didn't also expect to see her here and he was wondering why she was here. Why didn't Martin inform him that Valerie was coming here today?Actually the person was Tyler and Valerie clearly remembered him as a waiter in that party, the one with the red hair. The party also had gunshots and Mr Cobra's men, wait if Martin's men were there disguised as waiters then who was behind the gunshots, Martin or Mr Cobra?"It's not what you think! We weren't the ones behind the gunshots" Tyler could guess what she was thinking so he immediately covered it for her."How am I supposed to believe you, you guys are mafias so you didn't just go there to do a clean job and besides why would Mr Cobra order a gunshot when he was sitting right there and there was a girl there calling him dad, Antonio Ferrari's girlfriend!" She remembered everything that happened that day.'She really has a good memor
It was a rainy evening when Martin and Evander arrived back, Martin still had some part of his body stitched up but he could manage. People were greeting him but he was interested in going to his own room and when he finally got there, he used his password to open the door with the excitement to see her but he was stunned by the sight of the image he saw.Valerie was sitting on his armchair, imitating him by facing the window and frowning her face but the difference between the both of them was that she wasn't smoking or holding a cigarette, instead she was holding an envelope.Martin thought the envelope looked familiar and when he finally recognized what was there, his eyes widened."What are you doing with that? Did you search through my things?" His eyes darkened and his voice deepened as he spoke.Valerie wasn't still looking at him, she snorted a little while facing the window. "I wasn't snooping, I thought your table looked unkempt so I was arranging it for you" she replied in
