Valentina's POV  No one believes me, not even my husband or my Father. If Mother didn't know about this, I would have assumed she doesn't believe me either because she keeps avoiding the topic. This is insane. This whole thing. Not me. I am fine. Absolutely fine. There is nothing wrong with me except for the bandage around my head. "You have to believe me, Father", I point out in impatience. "I know what I am saying." He continues to remain silent, without looking shaken or shocked, making me wonder if he knows about this too. Where the hell did Mother hear it from? She was the one who told me and I was so sure Rocco wasn't aware. I was having my doubts about it as well until that incident. His Mother isn't even calling me and not picking up my calls. Everybody is looking at me like a crazy woman and I am desperate to see her now more than ever

Don't crazy people know they are crazy?I am fine. Absolutely doing fine. There is nothing wrong with me or my brain. My brain is in perfect condition.Just like her usual self, she smiles at me sweetly as we are having dinner, passes me the salt, stretches the jug of fruit juice at me, and even pats my hand simply because she feels sorry for the bandage that is still over my head.I forget most times that I still have this damn thing on my head. The way it makes me so uncomfortable sometimes is what makes me remember while other times, it is when people flash me pitiful looks just like Rocco's mother is doing right now.I am picking at my food because I can't help the confusion I am feeling right now. I know I am right but I still don't know what else to think about a

Valentina's POV About my contract with Rocco, I am hundred percent sure my mother is responsible for telling Father. She can barely hide things from him even when he hides almost everything about himself away from her.If Mother knows the secret between him and Mr. Lorenzo then I won't bother myself so much just for him to tell me what it is.I won't be here again, determined to do whatever it takes for him to tell him the truth. This is the only way Rocco can believe me and this is the only way we can save his Mother.When I told him Anita was involved, he went ballistic with anger. I thought he was going to ask me why I said that or what I saw so I could explain but he became furious, he wouldn't even speak to me as we rode home in silence.Slowly, I am beginning to get tired of everything. I can't take any action so I won't jeopardize my life, my parent's life, and even Rocco's. He isn't seeing the efforts I am making in all of this.

Valentina's POV His annoying optimism for the topic is irking. Not just the way he shows his disbelief in me but the fact that he keeps hoping and thinking it is nothing but a framed up story.I might be a bad person and a rebel but I would definitely not come up with a story like that just for me to achieve something.Rocco is an idiot. I meant what I said when I told him I was leaving but my heart irks so badly that I almost changed my mind and go back inside to tell him it was just a joke.But it is impossible. He would never take me seriously if I did that.I don't want to leave because I know how worried about him I would be. But I have no choice.With his lack of trust in me, I really do not know what else to do anymore. I don't know if I should just give up on this issue and begin to pretend like it never happened as he suggested.As the cab stops right in front of my parent's house, I catch a glimpse of a hu

Valentina's POV The sadness lurking around his expression when he left the room to see the doctor is no longer there. It has been replaced with something unreadable but much more intense than the sorrows I could feel within him. Just from the fact that his Mother couldn't remember how she got here, I am beginning to put the puzzles together.At first, I thought it was all a pretense but now I see the reason why she never remembered my visit to the house and why she did not claim to have called me over.I see the reason why she never act as if I was there as a witness that morning. Something is definitely wrong somewhere. Something is fishy.I had slipped out of the room without her knowledge when the nurse signaled me to leave. I wanted to wait outside so I could ask Rocco all the questions I have.Suddenly, he looks straight into my eyes and I see it.This time, it isn't sorrow or sadness.What I can s

Valentina's POV He was blinded.At first, blinded by denial. Now he is blinded by rage.My sobs wake him up. I feel his hand moving and I quickly raise my head to see his eyes open. He isn't looking at me. He is staring at the ceiling while he is still laying on the hospital bed with an expression I can't place.He is still as pale as ever.I thought I was going to lose him. The thought alone made me mad and full of sorrow.I was also blaming myself. If I hadn't put everything to him that way, maybe this wouldn't have happened.If I hadn't said all those things which were painting his whole family as black, maybe he wouldn't be filled with so much rage and hatred for the man he has called Father for more than two decades.I should have tread slowly and carefully with him. I should have stopped him from running out that night.What happened two nights ago broke my heart and also made me realize how attached I am to

Valentina's POV I can't breathe.There is a huge lump stuck in my throat, stopping me from breathing properly. I try to open my mouth and take in as much breath as I can and it works.Finally, I exhale, my nose stiff and cold.My breathing isn't steady. It is beating wildly and heavily within my rib cage in rage. My head is pounding so hard and my eyes brim with tears.I am not thinking about Rocco now. I am thinking about Fred. I am thinking about how Fred and I got separated and how I ended up being a wife to Rocco who is now obviously cheating on me with his first love.Fred and I got separated because he cheated on me with my best friend and the same thing is happening again but this time with a man I vowed to love months ago even though I didn't mean to keep to the vow.I shouldn't have fallen head over heels for him but how can I not when he always acts so sweet and tells me how much he loves me?This isn't part of

Rocco's POV Slamming my fists on the steering, I let out a growl of frustration as my head drops to the wheel.I hate him with all my being.I hate him for pretending to be my father all these years. I hate him for everything.After letting out several puffs to calm my nerves, I finally step down from the car. I close it back and walk straight into the hospital.I wonder when Mother will be finally discharged. Even if he wanted her back into the mansion, I wouldn't have allowed it.

Rocco's POV The glances I was stealing at her did not make me realize we were being followed until I turned the next corner and saw the black big van behind us trailing us from a distance.Intentionally, I took another turn to see if the van would follow or not and they did follow us at a safe distance, to avoid arousing my suspicion.Valentina is sitting next to me while I am driving. She is slumped in the seat looking exhausted, probably from too much crying or the information that my supposed Father tried to hurt her Dad.She saw this coming and this was the reason why I was stealing glances at her.It was in admiration for her intelligence. She is beautiful whether exhausted or not and it makes me think of where we are in our relationship at the moment.I thought we would resolve everything tonight since Mother already brought the issue up but that will no longer be possible because of what happened.What I have to be worrie

Rocco's POVShe is gulping down the whole content of the wine and looking away to make me think she wasn't staring at me peeling off the baggy shirt and trouser she gave to me on behalf of her dad.All of a sudden, I feel like taunting her a little about it. This is definitely not the first time she is seeing me naked, so why is she uncomfortable with it?Well, maybe it's because it's the second time. We have had sex only once and that was the first time she saw my nudity and also the first time I saw the beauty beneath her clothes.I know this is definitely not the right time for this but I can't help it. Coming here was the right decision and I feel more than relieved to have gotten help from Mr. Lewis."Hey", she shoots to her feet abruptly as I approach her and she begins to walk to the door, hiding her face from looking down at my naked body.Laugh erupts from my stomach, not at her action but at the fact that the door is locked and the
