Jace heart ached to know that Aria was in pain where she currently was. He wished Valentine could change her mind, yet he had no idea why he was feeling that way. "Valentine you aren't even faithful to me." He whispered to himself and got up to go speak to her. When he walked into the sitting room, it was easier to spot her. "Valentine!" He called and she looked up from her laptop. "It's been a while. You called me with such a sweet voice." She replied to him, and he was taken aback. "Sweet voice?" He asked himself. He didn't think he was being sweet at all. "I need to talk to you." He said to her, dragged her into her room, and placed her on the bed. "What's all this?" She asked seductively and took out his shirt as she caressed it. "Why do you act like you don't miss me? It's so unlike you." She said and started scratching his ears with her teeth. He stated quiet and after a while and watching her being stupid, he placed her on the bed for a proper conversation. "I would like yo
It was something that happened all the time though. There was nothing to be surprised about. She liked how she was able to get him to bed when she needed it the most. He reminded her a lot about Jace. What she had no idea about was the fact that he already knew a hint about their affairs and, in fact, had heard her calling his name repeatedly. She got into the shower and quickly cleaned up herself. Right after she got out, she made her way into the dining room and noticed that some foods had been served along with several fruits. She ate to her fill and dressed in a swimsuit she then walked towards a special pool made for her and jumped inside it. It took her a while to swim to her satisfaction and right after she was done, she walked into the mansion and looked at the clock. It was 4 pm already. She's had a long day. "I guess I have to check out for a while" she muttered as she then walked into her closet and got dressed. She wore a short royal blue gown that highlighted her beautif
Valentine landed on the bed and was thankful that she didn't get injured. She closed her eyes as she tried to get over what just happened. "I am Valentine. You shouldn't treat me this way." She spat even though she knew that the drug he just took was affecting him just like every other that he took. "I'm smashing the fucking Valentine. Get over it!" He replied and lay on the bed. Valentine looked at him for a while and didn't know if she should regret coming over or not. She liked to see his face. If not, she didn't think she would have any business being by his side. She soon got tired of waiting for him to get a grip on himself for a conversation and got up. "I guess my money will be ready the next time I show up." She then picked up her bag and stormed out. She got into her Bentley and drove to a mall near Hernandez's mansion. After shopping for some clothes and shoes, she then made her way back. The moment she got to the mansion, she packed in the garage and personally took out
"And what does Sophia have to do with this?" She asked, sounding very aggravated. "it's high time you quit blackmailing me emotionally. I have had enough of it.""Valentine if you go and let that girl go, there will be no way to find Sophia. I suspect Jace of being with her. If he wants his sister out of here, then he should get my sister out of wherever he kept her. Okay, let me give him the benefit of the doubt; even if he's not with her if he can find her, he will have his sister out. You don't have to try making things easier for him." Alejandro said to her as he did his best to send hints to her knowing that there was every possibility of her telling him everything she knew about them in the mansion. Valentine rolled her eyes. She didn't think she understood why he was saying those things to her. "Whatever. I'm out of here." She muttered and left. Alejandro took a very deep breath as he watched her leave his office to hers and couldn't help but feel very sad. He couldn't believ
After a week of chilling in an unknown location, Miguel returned and found her way back to work. The first day of work after her abrupt vacation looked like it was going to be cool for her, but her co-workers seemed to be thinking otherwise. "Someone is back!" Maya said the moment she walked past Miguel in the passage. Miguel stopped in her step. She looked like she was ready to entertain every drama that came her way. "Someone hasn't changed either. You look charged up. He must be doing a really good job." Miguel replied to her and turned to leave, but Maya looked like she wasn't ready to end the conversation. "You are always showing your frustration. I was just welcoming you didn't have to be so rude." She said to Miguel, glaring at her. "I never asked to be welcomed. I walked out of this office to my vacation on my own will and returned on my own will. Is that something you can pull off?" She asked Maya who then looked at the floor in defeat. Miguel was right; she could only l
"Wanna die?" She asked Maya who then rolled her eyes. "It's not like you can murder me anyway." She replied, but then, before she could act, Miguel grabbed her with force and hit her face hard on the wall. " "How does that feel? Awesome?" She asked her and walked in with the documents in her hands. Maya couldn't feel her face anymore. She held her belly as though the whole face went straight there as she managed to see straight. "You are such a beast. You fucking bitch!" She cursed and then rushed back to her office and picked up her mirror just to see her face. She saw some scratches on her face and couldn't help but feel pained. She thought about reporting her but after recalling the meeting that later turned against Anita, she couldn't help but force herself to let go. A tear slipped out of her eyes as she then picked up her bag and walked out of the office. "When you fuck these bitches, do you cum right in them? If so then I guess your cum has got some energetic syrup in them.
"You aren't the first man that tried to stand up for his woman; you wouldn't be the last either, so why bother my peace of mind?" Miguel asked as she walked into his office. "Oh right! Just like I thought you would act." He responded and sat down. "Are you trying to blame me right now? Oh, so you enjoyed the compliment?" She asked him folding her hands this time. "That's not the point. I just wanted to ask for a favor. Could you be the bigger person and just try to give her back the percentage I gave to you this morning?" He asked her and she froze in shock. "What? You said what?" She asked repeatedly as she walked around his office. The moment she placed her hand on the gun on one of his shelves, she pointed it at his arm and pulled the trigger, only for nothing to come out. "I can't believe you tried to shoot me." He said to her and she rolled her eyes "Be thankful there is no bullet in it, I would have wasted your useless ass. Never invite me to your office again," she said t
"I'm doing everything to keep you happy Jace. I don't even keep Alejandro this happy so I think you are treating me unfairly." Valentine said to Jace as she relaxed on the large bed in his room. "But you are still stuck around me. If a man isn't treating you well, you have gotta leave. That's the same thing I would say to my sister anyway." He said to her in response and she looked up at him, her brows furrowed as she wondered why he thought she couldn't leave her. "I didn't commit any crime by falling in love with you Jace. You should be nice to me always." She yelled, already feeling pissed. "I have had enough of your arrogance. By the way, do all you can and get your sister out of there if you don't want me to take out every frustration from you to her." She said and got up and started gathering her phone and laptops but then he grabbed her by her neck and pushed her back to the bed. "Repeat what you just said." He dared her, and she looked into his eyes and scoffed. "Scared fo
The following days felt like an endless cycle of uncertainty and quiet tension. Aria could feel the distance between them growing, even if only by a fraction. Alejandro was still as charming as ever, still as caring, but there was a sense of unease in him that Aria couldn’t shake. The man she had come to love was still there, but the shadows from his past seemed to be pulling him away, inch by inch, from her.She spent her days wandering the villa, trying to focus on something, anything, other than the gnawing worry that Alejandro was slipping through her fingers. But no matter how much she tried to distract herself, her thoughts always returned to him. She couldn’t help but wonder what was happening behind those calm, guarded eyes of his.One morning, after a restless night filled with unanswered questions, Aria woke up to find a note on her pillow. It was from Alejandro, written in his unmistakable scrawl.*We need to talk. Meet me by the cliffs at noon.*Her heart skipped a beat as
The days that followed were a whirlwind of intimacy and quiet moments between Aria and Alejandro, each one drawing them closer than ever before. The villa, once a place of escape, now felt like home. They spent hours walking along the beach, talking about their pasts, their dreams, and the life they wanted to build together. There was no time for secrets here, no space for fear. It was just them, living in the moment.But even in this peace, Aria couldn’t shake the feeling that something loomed just beyond the horizon. Alejandro, for all his charm and determination, still carried the weight of his past. She could see it in the way he would sometimes grow quiet, lost in thought, as if the memories of his darker days haunted him.One evening, as the sun began to set, casting golden hues across the sky, they found themselves on the beach once more. Aria had always loved the ocean, its vastness reminding her of how small she sometimes felt in the world, yet it was also comforting in its e
The quiet, serene getaway they had planned was everything Aria had hoped for and more. As the plane touched down in a secluded location, surrounded by lush greenery and the sound of the ocean waves crashing against the shore, a sense of relief washed over Aria. She didn’t have to be anyone here. No pressure. No expectations. Just her and Alejandro, in their own little world.Alejandro had remained mostly silent throughout the flight, but there was something different in the air now, something lighter. He seemed to be allowing himself to enjoy the moment, to breathe in the peace of it all, even if only for a short while.As they stepped off the plane, the sun setting on the horizon, Aria could see the tension in his face slowly begin to ease. This was what they both needed a break from the chaos that had ruled their lives.“This is beautiful,” she murmured, her voice filled with awe.Alejandro glanced around, taking in the lush surroundings with a quiet smile. “It is,” he agreed, his v
The next few days passed in a blur, with the aftermath of their victory still settling in. The building that had once been a place of tension and uncertainty now felt quieter, almost peaceful. Alejandro and Aria found themselves in a delicate balance, navigating the space between the destruction of their past and the uncertain future ahead.The morning light filtered through the curtains, casting soft shadows on the floor. Aria sat at the table, sipping her coffee, her thoughts wandering. It was strange being able to breathe again, to think without the constant fear of what was lurking around the corner. But even in this calm, she could feel the weight of what lay ahead. The remnants of their past, the enemies they had made, the lives they had taken all of it was still there, waiting.Alejandro walked into the room, his presence filling the space with a quiet intensity. He had the same guarded expression he wore every day, but there was something different about him today. Something..
The weight of the silence hung heavy in the air as Alejandro and Aria stood in the aftermath of the chaos. The storm had passed, but the damage it left behind was undeniable. Valentina, once a formidable threat, was now gone, her power shattered, but the scars of the battle remained.Aria could still feel the tension in her body, the adrenaline coursing through her veins, and the sharpness of the moment that had passed. She hadn't realized how tightly she'd been holding her breath until now, when it finally escaped in a rush.Her eyes met Alejandro's, and for a moment, it felt as though the world around them had slowed to a halt. He was still the same the man who had pulled her from the darkness, the man who had made her feel alive in ways she never thought possible. But there was a heaviness to his gaze, a sadness that lingered just beneath the surface, a weight he carried from a lifetime of pain.“You did it,” she said softly, though the words felt too small to express what she trul
The tension in the air was palpable. The entire room was alive with the sounds of hurried footsteps and hushed commands, but there was a strange sense of calm that lingered between Alejandro and Valentina. It was as though they were both waiting for something waiting for the final moment when they would each show their true strength.Alejandro stood tall, his posture unwavering, despite the danger closing in around him. His eyes were locked on Valentina’s, a silent promise passing between them that this would be the end of their tangled history.Aria could feel the weight of the situation bearing down on her chest. Her pulse raced, her thoughts swirling with uncertainty. She had been in dangerous situations before, but this felt different. This wasn’t just about survival anymore; this was about everything she had come to care for the people, the relationships, the choices she had made that had led her here.But she wasn’t backing down. She couldn’t. Not now. Not after everything they
The air in the room was thick with hostility as the standoff between Alejandro and Valentina grew more intense. Aria stood by Alejandro’s side, her heart racing, every muscle in her body on edge. There was no turning back now. This was the moment that would decide everything for them the end of the line, the culmination of all the plotting, all the scheming, and all the hidden truths that had finally come to light.Valentina’s lips curled into a smirk, clearly enjoying the confrontation. She leaned back in her chair, her posture relaxed but her eyes sharp, never once leaving Alejandro’s face. Miguel stood just behind her, his eyes darting between the two of them, alert and ready for anything.“Well, Alejandro, I must admit, I’ve been waiting for this moment,” Valentina said, her voice smooth and menacing. “I always knew it would come to this. A final reckoning between us.”Alejandro didn’t respond right away. His gaze never wavered from Valentina’s, his jaw set in stone. But inside, h
The morning sun rose lazily over the horizon, casting long shadows across the room where Aria and Alejandro stood, preparing for what would be the most dangerous part of their plan. The air between them was thick with anticipation, the unspoken tension hanging heavy as they gathered their thoughts, their minds focused on what lay ahead. But there was something else there too, something softer, more vulnerable a shared understanding of just how much was at stake.Alejandro's gaze was intense as he checked the final details of their plan, his fingers brushing against the blueprints spread out across the table. He wasn’t a man known for showing weakness, but Aria could see it in the way his jaw tightened, the subtle crease in his brow. There was something gnawing at him, something that he couldn’t quite shake off.“I never thought it would come to this,” Alejandro muttered, his voice low. He ran a hand through his hair, clearly wrestling with his own thoughts. “I never thought I’d have t
Aria’s mind raced as she sat in the dimly lit office, the blueprints still scattered across the desk, the same sense of urgency that had gripped Alejandro now tightening around her chest. She didn’t want to think about what might happen if their plan failed, but the reality loomed like an uninvited guest, reminding them both of the stakes.Alejandro hadn’t moved from his seat, his gaze fixed on the papers as if the answers to everything they needed were hidden somewhere in the lines. His jaw was clenched, and his eyes, though intense, had lost some of their usual spark. The weight of everything they were about to face seemed to drag him down, just like it was dragging her.“I know this is hard,” Alejandro said suddenly, his voice barely above a whisper. His eyes met hers, and in them, Aria saw something she didn’t recognize a flicker of uncertainty. “I never wanted to bring you into this, Aria.”She shook her head, her hand reaching for his across the desk. The touch of her fingers ag
