VALENTINE'S DAY Who you truly are?
Lucille’s P.O.VJust as I was planning to push Valentina to the ground again, she turned on her heels and ran away. Travis was right, this was the best time to disgrace her if I wanted to, and the perfect time to make her hate Ethan, hereby destroying their relationship for good. At first, I didn’t believe it when Travis told me about her real father, and I also thought it was strange that she had never brought any of her parents to any events, even when it was necessary; she was always giving one excuse after the other. I had to do an intensive search to confirm Travis's speculations, I was going not only against Valentina but also Ethan, I wouldn’t like to be the laughing stock instead and all that was possible with my father’s connection. As soon as I was able to confirm it, I posted the proof on the school platform, just to make sure the bitch doesn’t lie, and just as I thought she fucking tried to deny it. The other students weren’t fazed because they already knew the truth
VALENTINE'S DAY A winning bet
Ethan’s P.O.VI went to the washroom for a minute because it was uncomfortable for me to just keep ignoring Valentina’s innocent stares, Valentina seemed to be hesitant about something, and I could bet she wanted to talk to me.I smirked back at my reflection in the mirror, could it be that she missed me? I would be glad if she stopped me before the ends of today, I was also itching to talk to her, but I didn’t want to break the promise I made to her.But it was a completely different story if she was the one who wanted to talk to me instead, I cleared my throat. I got out of the washroom, there were some students discussing in the hallway as I headed back to the cafeteria.“It’s a total mess.” One of them whispered. “I started to feel sorry for her, Lucille shouldn’t have to go so far.”“I tell you, you don’t want to be on Senior Lucille’s bad side.” The other replied immediately.Lucille? Is this anything related to Valentina? I hastened my steps towards the Cafeteria and when I got
VALENTINE'S DAY Not Worthy enough
Valentina’s P.O.V“What the hell are you all doing?” I heard a very familiar voice, it boomed with authority making everyone stop what they were doing, I winced in pain, I dropped to the ground my face was filled with confusion but I knew I had to press down against the side of my belly, that is if I didn’t want to die yet. “Have you all lost your minds?”I glanced at Ethan and I quickly wiped the blood away from my nose, he started walking towards us, both of his hands were balled into a fist and his jaw was clenched… he seemed to be angry because he was glaring at us, a painful moan escaped my lips and I glanced at the palm of my hand, it was filled with blood.“Why are there a bunch of unreasonable adults doing this to a child?” He reached the bottom of the stairs and yelled again, “Where is the fucking security? Kick these psychopaths out of here at once!”“Unreasonable?” The older woman who held on to my collar previously, the one who called the name of her daughter, Lilian. I gr
VALENTINE'S DAY Listen to me
Ethan’s P.O.VI couldn’t explain just how afraid I was when Valentina ran back in the direction of the school, I initially thought she was going up to the roof but luckily for me, she ran into the lady's bathroom, and I ran after her.I wasn’t going to leave her, she slammed the door against my face, but just because I could hear her voice I already knew she was safe.We just have to get through today together and then I know that I have won my bet, this time around, it would be me changing the whole plot, just like I had sworn to him, that I would do anything to keep Valentina alive.“Valentina, please open the door.” I banged the door slightly, I didn’t want to scare her, I just wanted her to know that I was still there, and no one needed to tell me, I know that she doubted me already and it was only right that she did; I was the only outsider who knew her secret and then suddenly, big mouth Lucille and the whole school knows too. “I know what you are thinking but I can swear to you
VALENTINE'S DAY Take me instead.
Ethan’s P.O.VMy eyes widened when I noticed the red liquid streaming from underneath the door, my eyes narrowed down at it, and then my mouth hung open. “Valentina…” I whispered to myself because I hadn’t heard her voice in the last two seconds, I reached my fingers to the floor, inspecting the liquid to confirm that it was truly blood. “Valentina!!” Her name escaped my lips in a terrified shriek and I got up immediately, leaning into the door trying to hear even the slightest movement from the other side of the door, but it was eerily quiet.“Valentina, if you can hear me please say something,” I yelled as I banged on the door even harder than the first time. “Valentina, are you hurt?”There was still nothing, I knew I needed to break down the door, because if the blood belonged to her, then it was terrible because she had lost a lot of them already. I took a few steps away from the door and kicked it a few times before it finally fell off its hinges.My heart fell at the sight o
VALENTINE'S DAY The plot of the book
Ethan’s P.O.V“Since you were the last person to witness Valentina’s last moment, did she tell you anything?” One of the private detectives the school had employed questioned me, I was seated in the waiting room of the hospital.Valentina had been confirmed dead by a medical practitioner about five minutes ago, she died due to exsanguination, and it was practically my fault.It could have been a different thing to say if I had given in to my original instinct of breaking down the door instead of conversing with her, If only I had called the emergency sooner, she would be alive, probably in shock but it was still better than being dead.“Mr. Lords…” The other detective called me, he clutched the jotter in his hands to his sides and he moved his other colleague to stand in front of me. “I understand you are grieving, and this is very difficult for you, but for the sake of the ongoing investigation, we need your statement.”The words bounced off the walls of my ears, I wasn’t in the stat
VALENTINE'S DAY Not the first time
Travis’s P.O.V“Are you ready to answer me?” Ethan asked me with a small frown, his eyes were glaring daggers at me, and the look on his face was beyond satisfying so I smirked in return.“I thought I had always stated my plans,” I answered even more confidently, and Ethan nodded as he neared me. “Yes,” He answered soberly, “Except for the fact that you were the one who stabbed Valentina.” My eyes widened for a bit, I didn’t know he would catch up on this so fast, so I burst into laughter, and Ethan’s face wrinkled up in irritation. “I told you once before that if I don’t have Valentina, no one else can, this is the plot of the book and it is only right we follow it.” I answered, gritting my teeth in frustration, “Even if I have to kill her myself, I would do anything to make sure she doesn’t end up with you.” The words barely left my lips when Ethan suddenly grabbed me by the collar of my jacket and swung his left fist at my face, it was too fast and too sudden, I didn’t h
VALENTINE'S DAY More than anyone
Ethan’s P.O.VI didn’t need anyone to tell me I could guess myself, Travis was testing me as well, I knew it by my instincts, Travis was even more lethal than that cowardly bastard.If there is anyone I could bargain with, it should be Guillotine himself.I climbed out of the stairwell, I wondered how to address this, we should save Valentina, if only Travis was willing to help me, God, I have an explosive headache right now.It was either Valentina or Travis, Getting Travis locked up for a crime that he committed might help me protect her, but if I turned Travis over, it may do more damage to the plot, hereby ruining the chances of her getting back. I was in a tight spot, I glanced at the palms of my hands, and indeed there was only one major palm line left, the smallest one at that, I had just thirty years left, if I could come to bargain with him, I could use half of it this time around.This was going to be my very last chance.“Ethan…” I froze as soon as I heard the familiar voic

VALENTINE'S DAY Epilogue- Valentine's Day
Writer's P.O.V "How is the book ending?" Maurice my assistant asked me, "I thought you were working on it the previous night." "Oh yes, but I didn't like the ending." I answered her and her eyes fell towards the laptop screen, she was too strict with me, even though I didn't sleep all night while writing this ending she might still criticize me for being a shitty writer. "I like this." A small smile reached her lips. "I never liked the fact that Valentina would die at the ending, you would never reach best seller with that mentality." I was never trying to be best seller anyways, but since she approves of this ending, I know that the book is done. I will miss talking to Ethan, and also my number one fan, Valentina, even as she died she called my book, beautiful and a masterpiece. It was different from the way the toxic web readers did. But how did the book end again..."You're going to get late for your interview." Melissa yelled at Valentina, just because Valentina was trying t
VALENTINE'S DAY The start of the original ending
Third Person's P.O.V"Travis, what are you doing here?" Valentina asked curiously before she could push the door close, he stopped it with the tip of his foot and pushed her away instead. She fell to the ground, she knew she wasn't supposed to let him come inside. "Travis." Her eyes widened when she noticed he was holding a knife again, and that was when she remember a memory that escaped her mind, that day in the crowd, she saw the person who stabbed her, and that person smiled at her. It was Travis. "What do you want?" she asked fearfully as she thought about he could be looking for, was he trying to kill her again? Or could he be looking for Ethan instead. "I see you have gotten quite close with Ethan." His eyes scanned through her angrily, and they narrowed. "You are even wearing his clothes, what is this, are you guys married now?" "What do you want?" she insisted on knowing that first. "Are you telling me you don't know? I know you remember everything, don't you try to act
VALENTINE'S DAY Travis
Valentina's P.O.V Today is the day that Ethan said I was supposed to die, I have been in Ethan's house for the last three days and he had been nothing but kind and sweet to me. I didn't even notice just how lovely Ethan was until recently. I have been getting some very strange memories, this was probably the memories of the Valentina in the previous timeline, the Valentina that died. I thought Ethan was the one who assaulted me, but he was actually the one who helped me. I just understood just how much I had misunderstood Ethan's intentions. I didn't tell him about the strange memories that I am getting, I remember so much about us now, and even the first time he kissed me in his house. "Valentina are you okay?" Ethan asked me curiously, I was spacing out while we were cooking, he nudged me softly. "I didn't know you could cook." I mentioned as i washed the vegetables under the running water. "You cook so good." "I once told you I used to cook for my mother while she was still
VALENTINE'S DAY Fight
Travis P.O.V“I never knew you were this kind of person.” My mother said and her eyes widened in horror as she threw a slap at me. I clenched the part of my cheeks that she hit. “Mom, I had told you not to go into my room, without my permission.” I was at the store today, because I noticed that my tapes were running out, so I went to get a new one. Mother claimed she was cleaning my room and she found my collections, pictures and videos. “You invaded my privacy.” “How dare you…” Father joined in, ah, I forgot to add that after looking through my stuff she also invited my father to see things too. “Who are those girls in the pictures and did you do that to them?” “Yes and what if I did?” I asked them curiously. “What are you going to do, are you going to hand over your precious son to the police?” I was daring them, my mother broke down in tears, and the tapes contained images of badly beaten women that I had sexually assaulted. I used the recordings as a blackmail I never needed t
VALENTINE'S DAY Last Act
Ethan's P.O.V I woke up with Valentina in my arms, her eyes were shut tightly, as she slept peacefully, a smile reached my face, and finally this is everything I wanted. Valentina and I like this, every day. She stirred slightly, and soon enough her eyes flew open, they blinked slightly as she stared back at me. At first two of us, just stared back at each other in silence, and then a small blush creeps on her face, and she tried to disengage from me. "Wait..." I whispered as i pulled her back to my chest, "Where are you going in such a hurry?" "Ethan..." She whispered, i loved it whenever she calls my name like this, she was very embarrassed at the moment, and I wrapped my arms around her. "We can sleep some more." I advised. "N-No..." She muttered again. "I-I need to go home, I need to go to school." "Valentina," I turned her towards me, and she hid her eyes away from my gaze, i held her chin softly and tilted her face slightly until her eyes met mine. "We can't go anywhere u
VALENTINE'S DAY Kisses
Third Person’s P.O.V (Somewhere not so near)“I am telling you this will be a success.” Guillotine said as he closed his laptop shut and he turned towards Maurice his assistant and content editor. “We should be grateful that the reviews are coming back positively tonight.” Maurice answered with a small sigh. “To be honest with you, you are such a terrible writer.” “Oh, no Maurice, don’t do this to me.” He chuckled as he reeled himself in his chair. “Writing is the only thing I know how to do.” “Your writing has been messed up lately, I was becoming concerned for you, I was about to tell the publishers you would need some rest.” Maurice added and Guillotine noticed the sarcasm in the note as well. “But since the newest chapter had been released, the readers and subscription had increased.” “Oh…” He cracked his neck tiredly, he couldn’t care less if there are people reading the book, but one thing interested him tonight. “And the characters likability?” “Um, everyone wants Ethan t
VALENTINE'S DAY Captivity
Valentina’s P.O.VThe doctor said I could go home today, I was getting discharged, and I decided that I was going to quit school and leave home. Once I stepped out of this door now, I would be free, I would try my best to hang on to my life before I disappear completely.I stepped out of the bathroom, and that bastard, Ethan was still in the room, he was sitting on the bed, and speaking to the nurse who came to clean the room. Was it me or his hair had grown a bit longer than usual, well, I shrugged, I didn’t care.Just before I was able to slip out of the room, his voice stopped me.“Valentina,” He got up from the bed and strolled towards me, I turned back and glared at him. “Where are you going?"“I’m going home,” I answered confidently, just being close to him irked me so badly, I knew I had no right to get mad at him for not keeping my secret, but I hated the fact that he was just so carefree about it. “Thank you for the support.”I forced out between clenched teeth but Ethan didn
VALENTINE'S DAY Move in with me
Ethan’s P.O.V“Valentina,” Nathan shouted again, this time even higher than before, it seemed that he was struggling with the security personnel, I withdrew from the bed, and strolled towards the door, I opened it and it was just as I presumed, he was struggling with the security personnel in front of the door. “Let me in, my sister is inside the room, Valentina!”“What is going on here?” I asked curiously as I stepped outside, only then did the security men let go of Nathan, Nathan’s brown eyes shot in my direction, and there was no sign of recognition. He didn’t recognize me, seems like Guillotine took my request into consideration. “Who is this?”I asked feigning ignorance as well, his eyes widened and a hint of recognition hit him.“You are Ethan Lords, right?” He seemed to remember me, but not more than that. “Please tell them to allow me to speak to my sister, I heard she was involved in an accident in the school.”“Of course, come inside,” I answered and the security men nodded
VALENTINE'S DAY Anger and Adoration
Ethan’s P.O.V“I said no, you can’t go home.” I rephrased as I tried to aid her understanding even better. “No matter what you do, you can’t go home unless I allow it.” I finally realized it, I can’t be soft with her, if I do, she would continue to be stubborn, I leaned in her face and she scooted backwards glaring at me. “You will stay here and leave when I allow you to.”“You can’t do that.” She snapped and I smirked. “You don’t even have any right to do this, after what you did to me, do you think I am going to listen to you?”I nodded, before pulling back, tiredly, since I was still anemic I strolled back to the couch and sat down crossing my legs again. Valentina was just too stubborn, once she had set her mind to it, she would it, she didn’t care about reasoning, what she is focused on more is her hatred for me, and there was no talking her out of it.That’s why I have decided for myself. “You have no reason to listen to me,” I shrugged my shoulders, “I will not stop you, but
