"What?" Noah asked in surprise.Valeria sighed deeply."I said I'd take the job," she repeated.Noah stood up from his seat, then he walked over to her side.He looked at Valeria for sometime, he could see that she desperately needed the job, but he'd finally reconnected with her after so many years. He can't let her slip away again, and he still wants her so badly. This is a golden opportunity for him, and he's gonna use it wisely.Valeria stood, glaring at him. Noah's eyes, which were so soft, suddenly turned cold."I can remember you telling me that you wanted nothing to do with my family. You also don't want this job, so, what brought you back here?" Noah asked coldly."And my words still stand," Valeria said through gritted teeth, and Noah furrowed his brow."And what do you mean by that?" He asked.Valeria felt like yelling at him that it was none of his business, but she managed to control herself."Sir," She called, surprising Noah."I'm just here for the job, nothing more, we
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
As much as she was dying to turn around, she tried as much as possible not to turn around. She didn't want him to see her, she wasn't even prepared to meet him. "Hello, Noah, you came?..." Valeria took a quick glance at her mom, who was smiling with all of her sparkling teeth in the open. Valeria wished she could actually shake her head, seeing her mom act like a child at that very moment in time. She must have called Noah, she did it!""Dad! You're here!" A happy Fred ran towards them at full speed. Valeria's heart began to beat even more. She wondered if coming to the beach was all her imagination. Maybe she was peacefully sleeping in her bed while dreaming of what might happen just in case she went to the beach. That must be it.Well, she didn't care what was happening there right now, but she really needed to wake up from her dream as soon as possible before things took a different turn. Valeria immediately shut her eyes tight and opened them, hoping to find herself, but she
*********Three months later...."Mom! Mom! Let's go out to the beach, I heard it's way cool at the beach!" Fred tried to pull Valeria off the bed, but she wasn't going to get up, not even if the world came crashing at that very moment."Not today, please. Let me be Fred, I promise I'll take you there some other time.""But mom...that's what you said last month, and the last two weeks," Fred complained."Come on Fred, mummy isn't in the mood to go out now. If you really want to go to the beach, I can take you there, you know.""Really, grandma?" "Yes, of course, my grandson.""Come on ma, you still aren't strong enough yet, I don't want you falling sick again," Valeria stated, sitting up straight on her bed. "I know, but I also learnt that it would really help me a lot if I could go out more often.""That's for sure mom, don't worry, when I'm feeling a little better, I'll take you both, is that okay?" Fred heaved a long deep sigh and nodded his head. "Okay, mom," with that he left
Valeria woke up the next morning, feeling her body ache like crazy. She turned and slowly opened her eyes, only to be met by a pair of blue eyes, staring down at her with an expression she could best describe as longing. "Oh my goodness!" Valeria jolted up to a sitting position the moment she noticed it was Noah. "Hey, what's wrong?" Noah asked with a smile on his face. "Good morning love," Noah said, giving her a beautiful smile that immediately made her heart skip instantly. She looked down at herself only to see that she was stark naked. Immediately, she grabbed the bed sheets and pulled them up to cover herself immediately. "What, don't tell me you feel shy now, not after the wild sex we had last night," Noah said in amusement.Valeria shut her eyes and bit her bottom lip. She knew she was going to regret it. The worst part of everything was the fact that she had let herself sleep until the next morning. She could see the rays of the sun reflecting on the room. "Hey, don't b
"Aaaaaa.." Valeria moaned each time she felt it hitting at the right place. She wrapped her hands firmly around his waist as he moved into her, ramming her with full force. He filled her to the brim and rocked her loop hole. She can't remember when she last had it, but at that very moment, she knew this was something she had missed. Their sex was so familiar and what she wanted. She wrapped her legs tightly around his waist as he continued to push in and out of her. "Arrghh, this is what I missed, tell me you don't want it," Mish said as he began to slow down but never stopped what he was doing. "I...I...don't stop please..." Valeria pleaded, that seemed to have fueled his hunger as he began to hit and rode her like a horse. "Arrrgh!!! Yes! Yes! Don't stop..."Noah increased his pace even more. They'd been going for an hour but the need was intoxicating. She didn't want him to stop, and neither did he want to stop either. "Valeria, you have no idea how much I wanted to make love
Just as she tried to step away from him, she tripped and was about to fall to the ground. Right at that very moment, strong arms held her firmly on her waist and pulled her up, but unfortunately, she landed on his chest. She stared down at his rosy pink nipples. Valeria quickly gulped down whatever it was that clogged her throat. How could this happen to her? This was a terrible temptation and she would be a goner if she didn't escape from him at that very moment. "M..Mr Noah, can-""Why are you acting so nervous around me Valeria?" Noah asked, cutting her off. Brandy? The smell from his mouth was brandy. Does this mean Noah has been drinking? She quickly took her gaze up at him, only to be met with a pair of blue eyes, they seemed dark and dreamy at the same time. "Noah, I think you're drunk. Why don't you go back to bed?"Noah lowered his gaze on her, while still holding on tightly to her waist. "Valeria, you want to know why I'm this drunk, right? What if I tell you it's be
Valeria stared at the bright room from her room window. It was dark and the moon was beautifully shinning in the night sky, giving its light to the earth. At that moment, she wished she was the moon, and no one could reach her, even though they could see her. She wished all of what she was experiencing was all a bad dream which she would have to wake up from. It is too complicated for this to be real. She was having the best life ever. How come the life she lived turned out to be a lie just like that? She had said she wasn't going to cry, but at that moment, she couldn't help herself. Tears clogged her eyes and threatened to fall off. What exactly was she supposed to do at a time like this?She slowly shut her eyes and the tears she had been holding back came pouring out of her eyes freely. She quickly placed her hands on her lips and sobbed uncontrollably. It was hard to take in, her life was a terrible mess. She can't remember anything because she was being fed the wrong medic
Noah balled his hands in a fist. Ergon wasn't just a drug addict and a liar, but a despicable scumbag as well. How dare he do this to Valeria? How the hell was this him showing her he loved her? Ergon had never been deserving of Valeria's love from the very beginning. He knew it. This was the worst thing Ergon had ever done. He watched Valeria walk lazily back to the hospital room. He needed to talk to her, else they wouldn't have enough time to talk anymore. He quickened his steps so he could get to her immediately. "Valeria, I want us to talk about the-""Let's not talk about anything for now, Mr Noah. I just want to be alone," she quickly interrupted him and walked quickly to the room. Noah heaved a long sigh of frustration. Things were getting from bad to worse right there in his very presence, and there was nothing he could do. How did things get complicated in the twinkle of an eye? Noah thought about Ergon and what he had done. There was no way in hells name he would allo
While Mrs Shiella and Fred were having fun with their drawing, Valeria made an excuse for wanting to go to the restroom and immediately exited the room. She looked around hoping to find the doctor's office. "Looking for someone?" The familiar voice asked. Valeria quickly turned around and saw Noah. He was putting on grey coloured joggers and a hooded cardigan. That was her first time seeing him dress that way, she guessed. He looked quite different and that gave him some sort of cool appearance.He walked towards her with his hands in his pockets, and his expression, relaxed, unlike before when he looked quite disturbed and restless. "I..uhm," Valeria became short of words at that very moment. "I'm looking for the doctor," she blurted out. She believed she didn't have to hide that from him. "Did you bring it?""Bring...what?""The medicine," Noah said, as if he was so sure that was what she wanted to see the doctor for. She shook her head while staring at him. "You're so sure
Valeria immediately hid the phone underneath the pillow before hurrying to open the door. "Hey, my love, I'm sorry for keeping you, I was having a nap," Valeria lied. "I'm so sorry for disturbing you, love. I just got a little break and decided to come see you. I missed you so much. Ergon walked over to where she stood and pulled her into his arms. "And I missed you too, darling," Valeria replied, wrapping her hands around him as well. "I could tell. By the time I'm done with what I'm doing, I promise that you will be the happiest person.""Huh? Really?" "Of course, my love.""May I know what you're working on?" Valeria asked. "Nah....if I told you now, it would no longer be a surprise, don't you think?""Hmm, that's true." Valeria suddenly perceived a sweet smell on Ergon's shirt. That was unusual. Ergon wasn't a man who cared about perfumes, and to top it all, it wasn't just a man's perfume, but a woman's. If there was one thing she could point out about a cheating man, it w
