Valentina’s P.O.VI stared at my phone on the table close to me but it was impossible to reach for it, I sighed in defeat realizing that I needed someone to assist me. I tried to reach for the patient call bell but I was still unable to move my hands in the direction.I heaved another heavy sigh as I lay in wait for someone to come for me.Gordon Ransey…It continued to ring in my head…That was the name of the man, Ron had called my father. I just couldn’t forget his name and the kind of person he was described to be. If he was such a notorious serial rapist and murderer, then the search engines might have some answers to all the questions in my head. I wanted to know if Ron wasn’t just saying things to get to me. The door opened and my heart lifted slightly because I thought it was the nurse, but the hope that ignited in my chest suddenly went out when my eyes met with Ethan’s stone-cold green eyes. Ethan was still around? Why the hell was he even here in the first place?“Va
Ethan’s P.O.V“What does it matter to you if I want to die?” She asked me again, I stared down at my shoes, it hurt me so much to see Valentina in such a vulnerable state, and what hurt me, even more, was that I was unable to do anything about it.“No one told you to be here!” she snapped angrily again and I sighed in frustration, it was getting difficult to control my anger as well, but I knew I wasn’t supposed to get angry at her, I completely understood her position. “Please leave.”“I’m not going anywhere…” I repeated stubbornly, crossing my legs over the other. “Even if you hate seeing me here I am not going to leave you.” she raised her palms to her face and closed her eyes tightly, tears streaming out of them.“Since there isn’t anyone here, why don’t you just let it out?” I suggested since there was nothing I could do to help her. “You can cry as much as you want, I’m not going to judge you.”She turned her back towards me, and was silent for a while before I realized she was
Valentina’s P.O.VEthan likes me…. I stared hard at his sleeping form on the couch; I noticed he had changed his clothes, even though he hadn’t gone home, did he probably call Junis to bring him some clothes? If he changed his clothes in the hospital, he must have used the public bathroom, a rich kid like him, born with all the luxury in the world.How could he be so comfortable with the inconvenience? Ethan said he likes me… That was impossible and I knew that much, this was the same Ethan who hated me so much, he usually stopped at nothing to make sure that I cried at least once I crossed his path.Ethan said he likes me… I didn’t believe him but if he didn’t like me why would he distress himself for my sake, he had done nothing but take care of me, and I felt guilty because I had treated him badly during those few days he had been here.I don’t know how I feel about this piece of information, it’s true that I feel a bit more comfortable with him than before, and that is exactly w
Travis P.O.V There were already a lot of things different about Ethan, I had this strong feeling that he was hiding something from me, and I’m tired of just letting him act as he pleases. I also feel like he was lying about Valentina’s visit… I paused for a while, as I tried to figure out why he was hiding her from me.Is he dating Valentina?That was impossible, but I have noticed just how he gets around her or whenever someone mentions her name, he was being too protective of her.Even though he told me to leave and wait for him to come home, I just couldn’t leave just like that so I usually drove over there once in the evening after school with the hope that he was going to come outside and I might get a chance to go see Valentina.Just as I was parked outside, I watched Ethan waltz out of the hospital, one of his hands was in his pocket, and I was quite a good distance away from the hospital. So it was close to impossible for him to notice me from that far.He stood beside his c
Travis P.O.VA small smile crept on my face as I strolled out of the hospital building, I knew Ethan wouldn’t be coming here until tomorrow, and if he unfortunately met with his father at home then he might not come back here in a few days.Especially after the message that I sent to Mr. Lords.Anyway, my plans would be working to perfection, Poor Valentina, she might not sleep so well tonight, she did a good job trying to appear as if she wasn’t affected by my information but I know what she felt. I needed to save her before she ended up falling in love with him, Ethan is nothing but her destruction, and she should make sure to stay away from him especially when the Guillotine is giving her another chance at life.Ethan was never destined to have Valentina, but he was a greedy brat who would stop at nothing to make sure he had her.A smirk cracked my face as I wondered what he would choose from the list of options that would be given to him.“Travis,” I heard the worried voice tha
Ethan’s P.O.V “You didn’t tell me why you’re suddenly leaving,” Junis said turning the wheels, and I turned my face outside the window, I wasn’t interested in what he was saying. I wanted a kiss, but I ended up settling for a peck, and it was nearly not enough, I barely resisted the urge to grab her because I didn’t want to scare her. Valentina’s lips were like I remember, even though she was basked with the scent of antiseptic and antibiotic, her still scent was as beautiful as I remembered. A smile touched my lips, I could continue that tomorrow. “Master Ethan…” Junis called me again, taking me out of my train of thought, why wouldn’t this old man let me be? “Do you want to talk to your father?” “No, I would just like to sleep,” I confessed I would like to sleep and think about the feeling of Valentina’s lips against mine. “We will be going back to the hospital tomorrow.” “Sure,” He answered returning his eyes to the road, Junis is trying so much for me, and I think I s
Nathan’s P.O.V“Alright, thank you,” I answered the phone as I watched one of the nurses help Valentina climb down the last sets of stairs, I slipped my phone into my pocket as I rushed towards them, I had already gotten our stuff into the taxi. “Valentina, are you sure about this?” out of concern I asked when I noticed just how painful it is for her to walk. “Yes.” She answered firmly, using a blunt smile to cover up the pain she was probably feeling, the doctor had said there was no big deal with her discharge, however, they would advise she stayed for a few more days in the hospital so that she could receive adequate attention.“This is just too sudden.” I tried to convince her and she shook her head again as we head towards the taxi. “You still can’t walk properly.” I said pointedly.“I can manage.” She repeated with a faint smile, for one I was very happy she decided to call me after two weeks and she apologized for being too harsh on me. She then suddenly, requested I co
Valentina's P.O.V I sat down on my bed, the words Ron and Norah spoke resounding in my ears. I didn't know how to feel, no matter what I felt I knew I didn't have any right to feel that way. Even though Nathan is being considerate of me and he had tried to console me before he left. There was a slight pain in my chest, dull but sharp at the same time. She touched her lips, she could still feel the warmth of Ethan's lips against hers. For that brief moment, when he kissed her, she didn't feel so alone anymore. She found herself trusting him but it was thanks to Travis that she was able to come back to her senses. She didn't know why Travis would choose to tell her that truth about his best friend. "You should stop talking too much to Ethan." Travis had advised with a small frown on his face. "Even though he might seem nice and kind to you now, you should know this more than anyone what kind of person Ethan is." I wondered why Travis would say something like that ab
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
