Valeria and Shiella, including their kids all went into the eatery together. Valeria could have easily left, but leaving at that moment when she was already getting into the eatery would look too suspicious, plus the fact that she was dying to find someone who knew of her past and could help her with her memory. Though, she doesn't plan to ask Shiella such questions. Too many questions were only going to make her probe into suspicion, and that was so not what she wanted at that very point in time. "Uhm, Valeria? I remember back when we were in school, I used to envy you a lot."Valeria raised a brow, but was discrete about it, so, the lady wouldn't read the meaning of her reaction. "Really?""Yes, I'm serious," Shiella replied. Just then, she heaved a long sigh. "Valeria, there's something that has been bugging me over the years, ever since you left school without a trace. I have been carrying this guilt inside of me for three years now. I know it's been more than five years ever
"Yes, let's meet up." Valeria stared at the phone screen wide-eyed. She thought it was going to take like an hour for him to respond,but surprisingly, he applied a minute after she sent the message. She began to wonder if he had been waiting for her call ever since she shook her head, believing it was all her thinking. There was no way he was waiting for her message. She was sure the phone was just with him at that moment in time. The moment they arrived at the hospital, Valeria looked around to see if she would see Noah or his car around, but from the look of things, he hadn't been there yet. Well, that's no issue, she was going to wait for him anyway. "Mom, let's go already...." Fred whined. They went to the flower shop to get some flowers for Mrs Shiella. "Okay son, let's go see grandma." They both hurried into the hospital and went directly to miss Shiella's room."Grandma!" Fred called the moment they walked into the room. Mrs Shiella, who was watching a documentary on televi
Valeria looked around the place, and found just a few people who were walking in and out of the place. It was a portable restaurant with a few people in it. "So, this is the place you think will be safe for us to talk?""Yes,I specially chose this place for us because I know we will be safe here, unlike the mall."Valeria went wide when he talked about the mall. "Did you perhaps -""Do you mean if I saw Ergon?"Valeria blinked, while staring at him, demanding an answer. "Well, as soon as you left, I decided to chase you. Boy, then, I saw that you had gotten into a mall to get things. I decided to wait outside the mall as I didn't want to cause a scene.While I was waiting for you, I suddenly spotted someone whom I recognized as your driver."Valeria couldn't believe what Noah was saying. She was utterly speechless. "My original intent was to make sure the driver didn't see me, because I suspect he might inform Ergon about it. While I stalled, still hoping for a chance to see you,
Mrs Rita had missed her daughter for more than five years now. Her health had deteriorated greatly because she thought her daughter had died somehow. She had been sad about the sudden disappearance of her daughter that she had given up. She believed if her daughter was still alive, she would have come home a long time ago.Valeria would never leave her to worry about her. She was a good girl who loved her so much. Her daughter was her world, and her life. For the years Valeria had been absent, she thought her world had ended. She just lived by, waiting for the day death would come knocking. Just like that, it became six years, and still no news about her daughter. Mrs Rita's health began to deteriorate. Her friend, Helena, had been the one caring for her and always tried to reach her or visit her. Not a day passed that she didn't think about her daughter. "Just then,she heard her doorbell ring." Mrs Rita thought it was her friend, Helena, because Helena had been the only one who ha
While on their way back to the hospital, Noah noticed that Valeria had been utterly quiet. He didn't want to pry at whatever discussion she must have had with her mom. He gave them space, so the mother and daughter could bond. But then, they were going back to the hospital, and that would be the last time he ever laid eyes on her. Who knows? So long as she was still with Ergon, there was always the possibility that he might not be able to see Valeria for a long time or never, even. "Val, when you saw your mom earlier, did you, perhaps, get any memories?" That was a fair question for him to ask. "Uhm, I did, but not much. I remember her, but I don't remember the events which took place when I was fifteen. I only remember the times I spent with my friends and family.""Uhm, that was a good start, I must say. Because the fact that you still remember your mom, shows that there's great hope for you getting back your memories, Val.""I know, that was what I thought too. Uhm, Mr Noah?" V
***********Noah drank heavily. He wasn't drinking to pretend, he was drinking to drown himself in his sorrows. Valeria wouldn't come back to him, he couldn't help her, she didn't even want him to help her. What was he supposed to do, in order to get his woman back? Plead with Ergon? Will that even work?"Babe, why are you drinking this way? Don't you think it's too early for this?""It's not early, by the way, I'm just happy. You have no idea just how happy I am.""Wow, this is new. I'm glad to see you this happy, but may I know why you're this happy?" Because, I don't have to worry much about Valeria, she's living her life and I'm truly happy for her.""Really? This is great!" Adrainna exclaimed happily."This is exactly what I've been hoping for. Hearing this from you is the greatest thing I've ever heard. But...how did you come about making this decision?"Noah stared at Adrainna, skeptically. The only best reason he wanted her around was to find out some information from her, an
Valeria was at home as usual, thinking about everything that happened a week ago. The joy of knowing her mother was safe. She had wanted to tell Ergon about her mom and ask for permission from him so she could visit her again, but then, owing to the situation on the ground, she was afraid to do so. She was gradually noticing the loopholes in their relationship. Things were beginning not to add up to make a single sense, starting from the day she saw him at the mall, to the lady named Shiella, and now to her mom. There were instances that seemed really suspicious. She wished she knew exactly what was going on. "Ma'am, I'm glad you finally decided to leave the room," the chef said with a smile on his face. "Don't flatter yourself now, I'm only here because I need to make my son's favourite dish myself today. "Yes, I know, this is the only reason for which you leave your room. I'm well aware of the fact that Fred enjoys mummy's cooking more. You know, seeing him act that way makes me
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
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?
