Valeria woke up and tried opening her eyes, but she closed them back immediately, due to the bright lights in the room.. She waited for sometime for her eyes to adjust to the light, then she slowly opened them.She groaned as she tried to sit up."Careful there." Shane said as she rushed to her side to help her sit up. After she helped her up and was sure Valeria was comfortable, she sat beside her on the bed."Shane, what happened? Where's my son?" That was Valeria's first question."Calm down baby girl, Fred is fine now, but he's still in the ICU." Shane sighed."All by himself? No no, I have to go to him, my son needs me." Valeria said.She tried to get off of the bed, but Shane placed her hands on her shoulders and pushed her back gently, preventing her from leaving."What do you think you're doing?" Shane asked."Please Shane, my son needs me, you don't expect me to be here when my little boy is in the ICU all by himself. Let me go to him, please let me go, I want to see my son."
"I'll be back," Valeria said to Shane."What? Where are you going to?" Shane asked.Valeria gently removed Fred's head from her lap, then she placed it on the pillow, being careful not to wake him up.When she'd done that successfully, she placed a kiss on Fred's forehead."I love you son, and mommy will set things right." She whispered with a small smile.Valeria stood straight, then she faced Shane."Where are you going to Val?" Shane asked again."To see someone, you don't have to worry about anything, I'll be back soon. Just help me look after Fred."Shane walked to Valeria, then she took her hands in hers."Hope you're not about to do something stupid Valeria, please, we'll figure something out, nothing will happen to Fred. I get the feeling that you're hiding something from me, please Val, don't do anything stupid." Shane said worriedly.Valeria smiled weakly."You're so funny," She chuckled softly."I'm being serious here, Val. Don't try to act smart with me." Shane said sternl
Valeria turned to leave, but Noah stopped her."Wait." He said, and she stopped dead in her track, her heart pounding in her chest, she was silently praying and hoping that he wasn't about to change his mind.Noah walked to stand in front of her, a mischievous grin playing at the corner of his lips."Hope you know you'll start working tomorrow, and not just as my secretary, but also fulfilling your duties as—""I know Noah, you don't have to keep saying it." Valeria interrupted. She was quite angry.Noah chuckled softly."I see you're trying to avoid hearing it, but it's alright, as long as you know your duties, and one more thing Valeria...." He trailed off, then he stared deeply into her eyes."Don't try to go back on your words, because if you—""I'm not like some people, Noah," Valeria interrupted. Her eyes were literally spitting fire."I keep to my word, unlike some people, so be assured that I won't go back on my words." She said, and she left immediately, not giving Noah the c
Valeria and Shane stood outside the operating room, waiting for Fred's surgery to be over with. They didn't leave when the doctor asked them to.Shane walked to Valeria, who was looking so tense and nervous, and she took her hand."Let's sit and wait, Val." She said."N n no, I'll wait here...I mean, I'm fine." Valeria said. Shane sighed."Let's sit." She said, and she pulled Valeria with her. They both went to sit on a chair outside the operating room."He'll be fine." Shantel said.Valeria buried her face in her palms and she began sobbing quietly."Please God, don't let anything happen to my little boy, he's all I've got. Please lord, protect him for me," She prayed in tears.Shane was patting her back in a comforting manner, at the same time, saying some words of encouragement to her.The door to the operating room opened, Shane and Valeria hurriedly stood up, and they rushed to the doctor."Doctor, how's my son?" Valeria asked, impatient to know the answer.The doctor may have he
Noah sat on his bed with an angry look on his face."What the hell is wrong with you Valeria, answer the damn call." He said as he tried calling her number again."Sorry, the number you're calling is not real..." Noah immediately hung up.He's been calling her for sometime now. Her phone was ringing before but she didn't pick up, and now it's not reachable."Hope you aren't playing a trick on me, Valeria," he thought."I'm not like some people, Noah." "I keep to my words, unlike some people, so rest assured that I won't go back on my words." Valeria's words rang in his ears."I just pray you don't go back on your words, Valeria." He said, staring at his phone.He sighed, then he stood up, he threw his phone on his bed, then he went into his bathroom to take a shower.*****Valeria woke up in the middle of the night. She and Shane had slept on the couch in Fred's ward.She stood up quietly, being careful not to wake Shane up. She tipped to where Fred was lying on the bed, still sleep
Next morning.....Valeria woke, she groaned as the bright lights in Fred's ward almost blinded her. She waited a while for her eyes to adjust to the lights, then she slowly opened them.Valeria looked at Shane who was still snuggled close to her, and she chuckled."Shane, wake up, it's morning already." She said."Oh please, just give me five more minutes." Shane groaned. Valeria scoffed, then she pushed Shane away."Ouch." Shane hissed in pain. She hit her back against the chair, and that got her fully awake."What was that for?" She asked, glaring at Valeria."To wake you up, of course." Valeria shrugged, and stood up."Yeah right, thank you so much for almost breaking my back." Shane said sarcastically, and Valeria laughed."Sorry about that." Valeria said, then she went to Fred, and she sat beside him on his bed."I can't believe he's still sleeping." She smiled."Normally, he loves his sleep a lot," Shane replied. She stood up and went to stand beside Fred."His face now has some
Valeria stood outside, staring at the huge mansion, she was so lost, and didn't even realize that she'd been standing frozen for quite sometime until the guard spoke to her."Ma'am, you can go in." He said with a smile.Valeria mentally face palmed herself."I'm sorry, thank you." She smiled, then she went in.And just like how the mansion looked so beautiful on the outside, it was even more beautiful on the inside. Most of the things inside were made of pure gold."Wow." Valeria muttered as she stood in the living room, staring at everything."I can't believe how rich Noah must be right now." She said inwardly."I see you like the place." She heard someone say, causing her to flinch.Her eyes went to the stairs, and she saw Noah walking down the stairs, a mischievous smirk on his face.Valeria mentally rolled her eyes at him.Noah finally got to where she stood."Welcome to my home." He smiled. Valeria scoffed."Have a seat, I'll get you something to drink, and I bet you must be hung
"What the fuck are you doing!" Noah asked in anger."Don't make me more upset than I already am, Valeria. Don't even forget the deal, or get ready to return my money immediately!" Noah threatened."You said you wouldn't go back on your words right, so, stop trying to act smart and come to me right now!" Noah ordered.Valeria shut her eyes and took in a deep breath. "I already used the money, what the hell is wrong with me?" She muttered in her thoughts. Valeria hadn't been with any other man in the past five years. Ergon made her scared of being touched by men."Valeria," Noah called, and she opened her eyes.She sighed softly and she went to stand before him."I'm sorry, I was just... Scared," She whispered, but Noah seemed not to have heard her. Noah got closer to her, he held her waist and pulled her to himself, then he slammed his lips on hers.Valeria's lips were tightly shut, she refused to give him access.Noah's hand went under her shirt, and he grabbed her right boob, bene
