All Chapters of Engaged To The Billionaire After Betrayal: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Valentina's POVA noise wakes me up. I flutter my eyes open instantly, to see the lights still on. Rocco didn't switch them off before going to sleep on the couch and I didn't do the same before sleeping off.Wondering what noise woke me up, I try to sit upright but my shoulders hurt badly. Then, I remember.I was attacked last night and I just had a dream. My desire to know who really attacked me led me to have this horrible dream.I was seeing faces but three faces were familiar. One was Fred's. The second was Brenda and the third was nameless.I have no idea where I know her from but I am sure she is someone that I know. I was seeing more of these three faces and I was so sure one of them was responsible for last night's attack.Now that I am awake, I am so sure that none of these people are responsible because the culprit seemed to be going his way before he saw a good opportunity to rob me since I was all alone on the emp

Rocco's POVFather is about to go home when I enter his office without knocking. His secretary had already told me they were going out but I really can not let this wait till some other time.I also have a lot to do back in the office which is why I decided to come here straight instead of going back to the office from my out-of-office meeting.He steps back to allow me in, his gaze firmly fixed on mine.Realizing that I haven't greeted him, I say slowly. "Good morning, Father.""Why are you here?" He demands instead of replying to my greeting and offering me a seat.I take a seat without his permission and without answering his question.A lot of questions keep popping up in my head that I haven't found answers to. Apart from the fact that I want to do this for Valentina's sake, I am doing this because of the curiosity consuming my whole existence.I want to know why. I want to know what is wrong."I asked why you

Rocco's POVValentina has been ignoring me for over a week now, ever since I told her I wasn't in support of her telling my mother that she was pregnant without my permission.Mother has been over the moon because of the news. Everyone now knows that Valentina is pregnant.Whenever I have the intention of resolving this conflict between us, I always find her curled up in bed, leaving the couch for me to sleep on.I got the maids to take another bed into the room where I sleep now. I no longer sleep on the couch but I wish I can sleep beside her on the bed.Guilt is one of the emotions I feel more ever since she came into my life. I have no idea how she manages to let me feel this way.I feel bad for what I said to her which caused her to become mad at me and I really want to apologize to her.She is just trying to help.Casually, I stroll out of her room and close the door behind me when someone bumps into me.It is Valent

Rocco's POV She is one hell of a woman. I thought she would become jealous of my question and throw a tantrum but she isn't doing any of that and I don't feel satisfied. I really don't know why I feel this way. The other day, I was so excited about the thought of having sex but here I am asking for permission from her and after getting the permission, the excitement is nonexistent. What is wrong with me? I watch as her eyes bulge open in surprise. I am as surprised as she is. I didn't mean to ask her that question but there is something at the back of my mind that I can't bring to the forefront. Something forbidden. Uncalled for. Something that shouldn't be heard of me. "What?!" She exclaims again for the umpteenth time. I shrug in genuine puzzlement. I really do not know why I said that too. Suddenly, I let out a chuckle and watch her roll her eyes at me, then sigh. "You are kidding, right?" I shrug again, this time in sheer ignorance of what I am exactly doing. She let ou

Rocco's POV Her hands circle around my waist as she restricts me from punching the idiot once again. I have no explanation for my anger and resentment towards him but I guess the sight of Celina is adding all to this. Tingles rush down my spine at her touch, calming my nerves and making me stare at her pretty hands, wishing for them to stay this way. "Fred, stop this!" Celina's voice jerks me out of my reverie. Fred is rushing towards me and she manages to push him away. "What is wrong with you?!" She shouts at him as he falls on his buttocks. I wonder what kind of relationship they have but I guess I have no business with that. I drop my hands and take a hold of Valentina's two hands. Twirling around, I face her face. She looks frightened and I have never seen her this way before. Even the night she got attacked, she didn't have this expression on her face. Impulsively, I pull her into a hug. This hug is meant to comfort her, to reduce the fear but I am also deriving comfort f
