Chapter 161
Valentino's POV Once my family was gone, I went back to the ward.Inside, Sasha was still asleep, unaware of what had happened outside.Her pale face had a scratch on it, which was heartbreaking to see.I gently touched her cheek and murmured, "Are you really jealous?"I frowned, confused. Isn't she just a contract with me? Why do I care so much about her?I even seem to hate Sandra because of her.Sandra was the woman I always loved, wasn’t she?I couldn’t understand why I seemed to be falling for Sasha but had no feelings for Sandra anymore.Sasha used to be just a substitute for Sandra.Looking at Sasha’s injured form on the hospital bed, I felt an intense ache in my heart.Just as I was lost in thought, Sasha on the bed stirred slightly.I watched her closely, hoping she was waking up."Sasha, are you awake?"Sasha’s eyelids fluttered open, and she looked at me with surprise.She seemed to be in pain and couldn’t remember what happened.She stared at me blankly for a while befor

Sasha's POV"Was that really Valentino? Did I really scold him? Is he jealous?" Emilia asked, unsure."I don’t know either," I admitted. "But Emilia, why did you scold him? You know we’re just contractually involved, not really connected. It’s good that he’s taking care of me and brought me to the hospital. He doesn’t have to do anything more."That day, Emilia stayed in the hospital to take care of me.I told Emilia everything about my accident."Someone really tried to hurt you?" Emilia’s eyes narrowed as she listened. "Who would do such a thing? How dare they!""I don’t know. It feels like someone is trying to kill me," I said, shivering a bit.The feeling of being vulnerable while not knowing who the enemy is, is really unsettling."Could it be Sandra?" Emilia wondered aloud. "Doesn’t she hate you?"…"No, I don’t think it’s her. She wanted to hurt me before, but she’s already done that. Besides, I’m covering for her and Valentino. She doesn’t need to hurt me again," I said, shak

Sasha's POV "Friends." I answered Valentino’s question quietly."It doesn’t seem like just friends," he said, frowning, jealousy clear in his eyes and voice."Good friend, good guy," I said after thinking about it, trying to explain."Stay away from him. I don’t like him," Valentino said firmly.He hated that guy. He was too close to me, and it bothered him how we joked around. I could tell he was jealous. I didn’t act this way with him, and that upset him."If you don’t like him, that’s your problem. He’s my friend," I said, feeling irritated at his sudden anger.Just because he didn’t like someone, did that mean I had to stop being friends with them?I didn’t have many friends to begin with, and I wasn’t going to cut ties with someone I got along with.Valentino stared at me with angry, intense eyes. "I said no. You’re my wife now, you can’t hang around other men."Wife... sure, I was his wife. But by that logic, should I stop talking to any man? And yet, he could see Sandra?I was

Sasha's POV "You can't stand up. The doctor said your legs still need time to heal. If you push yourself too hard, you’ll have problems with your legs later," Fred said, clearly against the idea."It's fine," I shook my head. "I know my limits. I can stand for a little while.""No, if I say no, then it's a no." Fred’s voice was firm. He turned to the director. "Director, I don’t agree with this. If you make Sasha stand to shoot, I’ll quit.""Fred, come on..." The director looked helpless. We could manage without most people, but not without the lead actor.If the lead walked off, how could we finish this film?Kourtney, seeing Fred stand up for me, got even angrier.The director looked over at her. "Kourtney, just work with Sasha on this. She’s hurt, after all. I’m not saying you have to do it, but if you help, we can finish this scene faster. You’re the lead actress here. You want the project to go well, right?"After hearing the director’s reasoning, Kourtney reluctantly agreed to

Sasha’s POVI was eating, but my thoughts drifted. Sooner or later, I’ll have to leave Valentino. He’ll end up with Sandra, not me. Suddenly, I can’t eat much anymore.I don’t really want him to leave.I’ve gotten a little attached to him, too.The more I rely on him, the more I realize he’s always there, solving everything for me.But I’m only here because I’m a substitute.Suddenly, my heart aches. I’ve gotten too used to Valentino’s care. I’ve come to expect it without even thinking.I’ve been enjoying how responsible he is for me.I put down my chopsticks. I can’t eat anymore.“What’s wrong?” Valentino looks surprised. I usually eat a lot, but today I’ve barely touched my food. I’ve eaten less than a third and already stopped.“Oh, I’m full,” I say.“Full?” His face twists in confusion. How could I be full after eating so little?“Yeah, I’m full. It was really good.” I smile, but it feels forced.“You didn’t eat enough. You haven’t even had a third of your usual. What’s wrong?” Va

Sasha's POV"Ma’am, you can’t go up like that!" "Yes, it's too dangerous, let me help you!" "Or, ma'am, I’m pretty strong. Should I carry you upstairs?"The maids all panicked when they saw I was trying to go up by myself. What if I fell? They knew Valentino would blame them if I hurt myself. After all, the doctor said my leg wasn’t ready for stairs."No, no, I’ll go up on my own. You all go on with your work." I smiled at them, took a deep breath, and started climbing the stairs.The first step was the hardest. As soon as I put my foot up, it felt like my leg might snap. I bit my lip, sweat already forming on my forehead. I couldn’t put too much weight on my leg, so I relied on my arms. But even that hurt so much that I felt like I was losing my mind.I finally managed to get the other foot on the step. I took a deep breath. I had only taken one step, but I was already tired and out of breath."Are you okay, ma'am?" one of the maids asked, clearly worried."I’m fine, really," I sai

Sasha’s POVI couldn’t help but feel a surge of envy and anger toward Sandra. She didn’t just take my father's company, she also stole the man I loved.I wanted Valentino back, but he didn’t love me. His bond with Sandra seemed untouchable.That night, I found myself thinking about everything. The more I thought, the more my heart ached until I finally cried myself to sleep.The next morning, when I got up, a maid came in to help me downstairs.I paused for a moment and asked, "Is Valentino here?""Sir has gone to work," the maid replied."Oh." I nodded, realizing he was purposely avoiding me.The next few days followed the same pattern. I barely saw Valentino. When I woke up, he was already at work, and by the time he came home, I was already asleep.It seemed like it had become a routine—he’d leave early and return late. Even though we lived in the same house, we hardly crossed paths.Despite this, everything else was taken care of. The maid was strong enough to carry me up and down

Sasha's POV "Kourtney, this is supposed to be a fun farewell dinner. It's the last night for all of us to enjoy together. Who knows when we'll work together again? Do you really have to ruin it for everyone?" I said, staring at her with sharp eyes.Kourtney shot back, "You're the one making things bad. If you left, wouldn’t everyone be happier?""If I left, you’d be the only one who's happy. Why don’t you ask everyone else if they're happy?" I replied, glancing around at the others."Yeah, Kourtney always thinks she’s right," someone chimed in."Exactly! Who even invited her to sit here?""She’s so annoying!""I can't even eat with her around. She thinks it's such an honor to be near her! Please.""Shh, don’t say it too loud. She’ll freak out again. She’s the worst kind of person."The comments kept coming from all sides. Kourtney's face went pale as she realized what everyone truly thought of her. She never knew she was so disliked, and now it was obvious.Her face flushed red, and

Sasha's POV "How are you, Mr. Valentino? Waiting outside for four hours?" A staff member suddenly asked, glancing at Valentino.Valentino shot him a cold look, and the guy quickly shut up and walked away."You... You've been waiting out here in the cold for three or four hours? For me? Why didn’t you let me know?" I couldn’t believe what I was hearing, and I grabbed Valentino’s hand without thinking.His hands were ice-cold. There was no warmth at all. I couldn’t even imagine how cold he must’ve been, waiting outside like that."Are you crazy?" I asked, my heart aching. It didn’t make sense to me."Can we go home now?" Valentino asked, ignoring my question."Yeah, of course, we can go home," I said, frowning a little.Without another word, he scooped me up into his arms and started walking out."I can walk by myself. You don’t have to carry me. You must be exhausted after waiting so long," I said, holding onto him. "I’m really sorry. I thought I’d be done earlier, but everyone kept a

Sasha's POV "Madam, the boss asked you to wait. Don’t go up yet. He’ll help you." One of the maids stopped me from leaving.Valentino quickly walked up the stairs, scooped me up in his arms, and carried me upstairs in just a few steps.He set me down in the room, looked at me, and said, "I’m going downstairs to talk to her.""Okay," I nodded.Then he turned and went back downstairs.When I glanced down, I saw Sandra sitting on the sofa. She asked one of the maids for a glass of water. The maid gave it to her, but it was clear she didn’t want to. Her eyes were filled with resentment like Sandra was here to steal something precious.Sandra, meanwhile, probably thought we were all fools. She acted like she already owned the place like she’d be the lady of the house soon.Valentino came downstairs. Sandra looked at him and called out, "Valentino—""Why are you here this late?" Valentino frowned. It was early morning, not the evening and the maids had been woken up from their sleep."I mi
