All Chapters of Love A Lie : The Billionaires Betrayal : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Valerie There were times when I was stubborn and my father would always tell me this letting me know that there was nothing more left to discuss. Same again this was the thing. I was told to go into my room and rest. I tried to bargain my way around it and in the end I just nodded my head in affirmation making my way to the room. I could see him happy and see that was the happiest thing for me. I was just in time to help set up the table after my relaxing shower. Dad made a very good dinner for sure with salad, a chicken dish, as I preferred, served with well-cooked vegetables. It was a shock for me to see that he still remembered things about how I liked my food. We had our dinner with talks about my present life like what I do, which college I went too and other things. We remembered the happy moments of my childhood and I was great about that. Dad apologized once again for missing out very important days in my life but I told him there was nothing to be sorry about. I was glad

Looking outside at the passing by city, I let my thoughts flow to the happy times of my life with Aiden. There were so many of them. As I think about it now, I realize that he had loved me for so long, I was just too blinded by the past to see it. As we stop at a traffic light, I was drawn out of all my thoughts. Looking outside, I was slapped with the harsh reality of my past.In the car beside me, I saw that one person who had hurt me the most, that one person who had put the nail in the coffin of not believing in love.Drew sat there in sleek back car with a laptop in his hand. He still looked that very same man who I had fallen in love with besides the long hairs brushing against the nape of his jacket. In a dark business suit, he looked as handsome as ever, someone who could make any girl fall to his feet but not me. Not anymore. I knew the true colors behind that devilishly handsome face. He was no one's lover, just a player who played me. I stared at his face wh

Valerie I stormed towards Aiden and that bitch that stood there and did the only thing I could think off. I fucking slapped that bitch so hard that I was sure that there will be prints on her throbbing cheek. “That was for kissing my boyfriend." I spat at her while Aiden just stood a few feet away. As Maya stood at the door I was quite sure that this was going to be the hot gossip around the office. "Get the hell out of here right now," I screamed at the slutty secretary as she stood there looking at me with wide eyes. She looked at Aiden for help and all I could think of was if he told me to apologize to her I was going to surely kick him where the sun doesn't shine. I was fuming with anger and jealousy coursing through my veins. She didn't make a move to get out and kept staring at Aiden to say something. "Maya, please take her out of here and can you please make sure that Aiden and I have some privacy," I told her massaging my throbbing forehead. "Yes, Ms Caulfield." With that

Valerie “Your father?” He repeated once again this time a bit louder. "I just found him three days back in a bad condition and came to know that he is not fully bad. Now we are trying to mend our relationship and it would be totally awkward having sex there, with him there in the apartment. Also, I don't want him to get a bad impression of you." I tried to reason making sure he got my point. "A lot happened in these three days of you ignoring me I guess?" He said nonchalantly. "Hey, I wasn't ignoring you. You were blocking my calls and my father can vouch for that one." I said accusingly. "Guess we are back to round one!" He said frustratingly. "Isn’t what just happened enough for you to tell that I won't ever fucking ignore you or your calls?" He said bringing out my panties. I took out my phone and brought up the call logs. Getting off the table, I closed the distance between us and flashed my phone in front of his face.

"My pancakes!" Dad yelled. rushing to the kitchen to me and Carmen just in tow. I rushed towards opening the windows to get the burnt smell out while Carmen did the same. Looking at the burnt and deformed pancake that dad was holding we all burst into laughter. After that, we all enjoyed the breakfast together. Carmen joined us and it was really nice. I don't know why but I felt that this place was complete as a home. At times, I found Carmen staring at my dad or the other way around. I knew it had been long since mom was gone. From what dad had told me, he hadn't been with anyone for almost a year after mom's death. Carmen and Dad were similar by nature. I guess they both couldn't have children and had broken hearts too. I could see myself playing the matchmaker. I left both of them behind by rushing out of there saying I was hell late which I was not at all. I hoped everything went well between them. Hailing a cab, I made way to my office while humming the song on the radio. My ph
