Valentina’s P.O.V

“What do you want?” I asked Travis who seemed a bit hesitant about what he wanted to say, he scratched the back of his neck nervously and my frown deepened. “I’m so tired, I would like to go home to rest, I still have to attend classes tomorrow.”

“I would like to drive you home since it’s pretty late anyway.” He said in a quiet voice avoiding eye contact with me, I wondered if this was the same Travis who had come to drag me out of my workplace. He’s almost like a different person now. “So…”

“Ethan already booked me a ride, so there would be no need for you to stress yourself, thanks for the offer though,” I answered him as I turned on my heels heading for the elevator that leads to the exit of the hospital. He followed me immediately getting into the elevator with me, and I wondered why he was still being persistent. “What is it?”

“I just wanted to apologize for threatening you and using force to bring you to this place.” He muttered without meeting my eyes. “I

    Valentina’s P.O.V I woke up to the birds chirping against the window sill, and I felt a sharp pain in my stomach and my head, it was blinding, so much so that I felt paralyzed where I lay. My phone was ringing, I only heard it now, sluggishly, I reached for it. “Valentina, for the love of God, you had me worried.” Melissa sounded over the edge and a small smile reached my lips, I forgot to call her when I got home last night. “Are you all, right? Where are you?” “I-I just woke up,” my voice cracked as I spoke and I cleared my throat before she could notice something. Even though Melissa was my friend I didn’t want her to know that Ron still hits me; she would get even more worried than she usually gets. “Forgive me, I forgot to call you last night.”“What did Ethan do?” She asked in a hurry. “I swear to God if he touched you in any way.” I chuckled softly, at least this was a better way to start my day. “No, he did not,” I answered as I forced myself up the bed, clutching my head

    Ethan’s P.O.V It was getting late, and I was starting to lose hope in Valentina, maybe she wouldn’t come like she promised, it’s not like I can blame her if she doesn’t. A small sigh of disappointment escaped my lips, if only my legs are not so swollen, I would have gone to look for her myself. I’m not even advised to walk short distances, that’s why they had given me the small wheelchair in the corner of the room in case I wanted to go outside. It would be a miracle if Valentina came here, but I wished she did because I missed her. I was feeling a little bit lonely, Junis went home to change his clothes, the old man had been here for six days without a break. I told him I could somehow manage the night on my own and if there was an emergency, I would reach out to him. I only did that because I hoped Valentina would come, I wanted to have some alone time with her, something equivalent to a date. Since I hadn’t gotten the opportunity to talk to her since I miraculous time t

    Valentina’s P.O.V Maybe it was because I had left my wounds unattended to, but they sting like a bitch now, so much that walking is a problem for me and I don’t even want to talk about how hungry I am at the moment. I watched the doctor as they examined the wounds on my stomach and my back, since I suffered the most there. He touched the small swell that started to form in my wrist and I shifted back in reflex, his eyes narrowed as he sat down holding a small report sheet. “Do you have any sort of pain in your head?” He asked curiously, I wonder if he was referring to the terrible headache that was in front of my forehead. “Yes, I have a slight headache.” I answered almost immediately, I could easily respond to the doctor since Ethan wasn’t here. But wait, there seemed to be something wrong with Ethan, but I just couldn’t explain it. He seemed like a totally different person, and his eyes don’t hold the usual hate they did for me, it was as though he was looking at me. “Were yo

    Valentina’s P.O.V “Is it possible to have dementia at the age of twenty-one?” I typed into my internet search engine, biting my nails nervously as I watched the page load. “Yes, it is, even though age is a great factor, it’s not limited to older people.” The search engine answered and my eyebrows furrowed together, so it was kind of possible Ethan has dementia, but if he does, they should have noticed it in the hospital. Apart from the fact that he was acting strange towards me, he seemed to recall every other person fine. If it isn’t dementia, then what is it? I thought to myself, then I typed into the phone. “Does high fever aid memory loss?” He had been acting strange since the day he came looking for me in his pajamas, and he had a very high fever that day. “Please be more precise about your question.” The engine replied, it always does this when it has no definite answer for my questions but then it gathered tons of articles that are related to memory loss and mental healt

    Valentina’s P.O.VI picked my hair up in a ponytail as I prepared myself for school, Ethan was discharged on Friday, and I heard from Lucille and the rest of the classmates. I didn’t go visit him after the last time, he didn’t give me any answer to my question.Even though he seemed harmless, I doubted him, and I doubted him a lot.It’s impossible for someone to just change in an instant, so I want to tread carefully.“Give me some money.” I heard Norah’s voice as soon as I got out of my room, there was a small glare on her face. “I need to buy drinks for the girls today.”“You’re fifteen years old, Norah, you shouldn’t be drinking.” I scolded, as the eldest daughter, even though I wasn’t considered a member of the family, Norah is my little sister and I care for her. “I won’t give you money if you’re going to drink.”“It’s not your business what I do with the money.” She snarled and just then my brother, and Norah’s twin, Nathan came downstairs. His brown eyes access the place and th

    Valentina’s P.O.V I’m glad I was able to get out of that one without getting hurt, classes went on smoothly, and we even had a test, one that I was pretty sure that I aced. I picked the apple I had bought on my way to school and ate it, just as soon as I bit in, my eyes turned in the direction of Ethan and he was staring at me. What is wrong with this dude? I shook my head as I continued my snack, my phone beeped loudly informing me that I had an incoming message. “Are you avoiding me?” I read and the message was from Ethan, I rolled my eyes as I wondered if I should type back or I should just ignore him.“No, I’m not,” I replied, almost instantly, and he sent me another text. “Good.” With a smiling emoticon behind it. “Meet me at the back when it’s closing.” I stared hard at the text and then turned in his direction, I was immediately reminded that I couldn’t look in his direction too much because Lucille had her eyes on me. “Why?” “You will find out when you come.” “Are you

    Nathan’s P.O.V“We should have collected more, I told you that girl has so much money, I wonder how she got it.” I rolled my eyes even as Norah complained, she had been complaining as we went to school and we were closed from school, and she was still complaining. Valentina might not say it but she cares so much about us and even though the family is like that and Norah keeps on stealing her money she has never taken anything to heart.So I feel Norah could cut Valentina some slacks.“That stingy bitch, she isn’t even grateful that our father lets her stay in our house for free.” She complained bitterly as we headed inside the city center, probably to spend some good time before we decided to go home. “What could we possibly get with this?”“Norah…” I called my twin softly, I wasn’t very angry at her, because I knew her reasoning wasn’t her fault, and up until some weeks back, I thought the same way, if I was going to blame anyone, I was going to blame our parents. “Do you have any

    Nathan’s P.O.V Valentina’s face flushed red at the accusation; she took a few steps away from the gentle man in surprise. “N-Nathan? Why would you say something-g like that?” She stuttered as she spoke, I could tell she didn’t know how to talk to me, she was a bit hesitant, I understood why she did.It was still much of a surprise that I was talking to her and acting like normal, I turned towards the boy that was standing closer to her…Ethan… now I remember his name. He introduced himself as Ethan Lords, and I did a lot of searches about him since the time he turned up on our porch but I remember clearly the name of his father, because he was a fucking billionaire.Ethan glared down at us, since he was much taller, I could tell he wasn’t pleased to see us and I wonder why. “Are you my sister’s boyfriend?” I decided to ask, since Valentina wasn’t going to answer me, I needed something to ease the tension and make us have a natural conversation and if it was possible, this was the o

    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

  • 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

    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
