All Chapters of Sassy Orphan and The Twin CEOs : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Valerie’s eyes speculatively scanned the scene below. Chase walked to the car, his chauffeur escorting him. The chauffeur opened the door for him and he got into the car. Finally, the car took off until it was out of sight. Valerie hurried to the bathroom. Feeling refreshed after her bath, she put on a stunning, flared midnight blue satin dress, and complemented it with a diamond necklace. She hung a handbag over her shoulder and stood in front of the mirror. As she admired herself in the mirror, she realized Chase had been sincere, her beauty shone.Politely rejecting the chauffeur, she drove herself, going against Chase’s instruction to never go out without one. This time, she had to do this alone. An hour later, she knocked on Chris’ door. Then again, with no response. She was about to turn back to go, when she heard what seemed to be footsteps, becoming louder and louder as he approached the door, then as he unlocked the door he mumbled, ‘Visiting at ten in the morning without an

Chase had noticed Valerie standing by the balcony, looking down at him. Something about that was off. He had his suspicions that Valerie might decide to meet Chris again. Something about that unsettled him. Sometime before, in their ‘confidential talk’ Tasha had made an astonishing revelation about Chris and Valerie to him. Tasha had revealed Chris’ fondness for Valerie, and that unsettled him more. He had deliberately went back home, after spending only an hour at work and his suspicions were proved right, Valerie was not home, and worse, he she had gone out without a driver. Chase felt quite certain that she had secretly gone to meet Chris, once again.He wondered if Chris and Valerie were secretly having a love affair. Tasha had also told him how Chris had struggled emotionally because of Valerie’s alleged death, when he had taken a leave at the same time Chase took his. Connecting the dots, Chase realized he had taken some time off work to take care of Valerie who was still in com

She slammed Chase’s office door, startling him. Her attempt to disguise herself quite visible; a blue floral scarf covered her hair and forehead and black shades on her eyes. Her body was covered in a white long sleeve shirt , black gloves and a long, black skirt. Letting herself in, Chase looked at her, dumbfounded, still trying to figure out what dump hole she had crawled herself from.The receptionist trailed behind her, breathlessly. “Sir, I told her she needed an appointment first, but she just …”, she said trying to catch her breath.“It’s alright now. I’ll take it from here, you may go”, he assured. The receptionist turned away and left the scene. After fleeing in a guest’s car at the day of her wedding with Chris, he had not heard from her since then. For a few seconds, Tasha only panted in her seat without saying a word.“And then?”, Chase started, his arms folded as he leaned on the office table in front of her, curiosity all over his face. His sharp, unfriendly expression e

Valerie impatiently paced up and down the room. She was a mess; still in her pyjamas, her hair undone and her body quite sweaty. Chase had not been back from work since the previous day and she was sick worried about him. Her calls were going straight to voicemail and he was absent from work. By then, it was almost two in the afternoon and he hadn’t even bothered to text. She kept on praying that God keep him safe wherever he was.As she was about to throw her body on the couch, the telephone rang. A private number was calling.“Hello”, she answered, her voice filled with irritation.“Val, how are you?”, a voice responded. Immediately, Valerie knew who it was and her mind geared into an adversarial mode.“You! What is it?”, she yelled. “What do you want from me now?”,“Whoa! How did you even know it’s me?”, Chris said, his voice sounding cheerful, contrary to her menacing voice.“No one calls me that except you…so duh!What do you want,anyway?”,she asked.“I wanted to thank you for the

Answer me honestly, I deserve to know the truth”, Valerie asked, firmly.“I used to. Or l still do, I don’t know Valerie”, he replied.“Oh?”, she said with anger and pain. “And me, I was an option?”, she asked, scared of the answer he would give her. He did not say anything for a moment. Valerie grabbed him by the arm and dragged him to their bedroom and locked the door. As Dora trailed behind them, Valerie sent her away.“I need a private moment with my man, if you don’t mind, Mrs Home Wrecker?” , she said.As they entered the room, Chase switched to defence mode. “Valerie, believe me l had no idea she wo…”,he begged.“Shush, don’t say a word. I understand what you’re going through, the confusion…l get it”,she said, with ease. Chase couldn’t hide his surprise. He wasn’t expecting Valerie to be suddenly so calm. Hesitantly, she took off her engagement ring and held it to his face.“You know this makes me so sad right now, but l have to give you space to think about this, so could you
