“Ms," Ivan called reaching out to touch her.Without raising her head, she pushed past him and stumbled into the rack of sunglasses, falling with it to the floor. Without hesitation, she hurried back up and ran out with the sanitry pad in her hand.“Hey, come back here. You need to pay for that," one of the guards yelled." It's fine,” she heard Ivan say. " I'll pay for that.”Valeria ran without looking back until she got home."Why did you have to run from your boss?,” Callista asked, applying a balm on Valeria's wrist."I can't let him see me soak with my own blood.”" So what if he sees you? You said he's married, does his wife not get her menstrual period?”" It's different.”Callista shrugged. " I don't see how.”"I'm just so happy he didn't get to see me.”" Yeah, at the risk of your wrist.”Valeria pulled her wrist away from Callista. " I can't deal with you right now.”They both laughed.***Valeria reached the office the next day, wearing a long sleeve shirt that covered her

“He’s my husband," Valeria cuts in, chuckling. Dominic's eyes widened, so did Ivan’s. " I like the sound of that,” Dominic said." “And baby," she continued. “This is my new boss." The two men shook hands. Valeria was tense, she knew Dominic would soon start talking so she had to get them apart. "I'm so sorry, sir,” he said to Ivan. " I need a moment with my husband." “That's okay, I was about to leave," Ivan replied. She dragged Dominic out, still smiling as Ivan watched them with amusement. She couldn't risk her boss knowing Dominic was her ex and not her husband, she couldn't risk her mystery husband meeting her ex, and she couldn't risk her big mouth ex meeting her mystery husband. “Go home," Valeria said to Dominic. “Why? You just introduced me as your husband, did you miss me that much?" Valeria scoffed. “In your wildest dreams." Before Dominic could say another word, she flagged down a cab and pushed him in before climbing in beside him. She dropped him off on

“I think I'd stop here," she suddenly said.Relief flash across his face.“Why, did I say something bad?," he asked, feigning regret.“Oh, no. I forgot I needed to get groceries." “Oh," he smiled. “That's totally necessary." Valeria nodded and faked a smile, her heart racing in her chest.The driver pulled over and Valeria hurried down, and headed in a different direction. Not looking back until she was out of sight.She stopped in front of a mini bar and heaved a heavy sigh of relief, before walking inside.Meanwhile, Ivan’s driver pulled over again in front of a house that looked like an hostel.He straightened himself, fixed his face and tied in front of the mirror before stepping down.He strode in with a loud confidence and eagerness that was unmistakable.As soon as he stepped into the hallway, he heard sounds, strange sounds that didn't sound right.“Ah, yeah baby. Fuck!" He froze, then reduced his pace as he approached the door where the sound was coming from.“You're so fu

“Are you going somewhere?" Callista yawned, rubbing her eyes as she settled into the couch.“I have an interview," Valeria replied. “I told you I'd be getting a job soon." “An interview," Callista repeated. “Shouldn't you be feeling nervous? You look happy like you're assured of the job." Valeria laughed lightly. “Actually, I'm happy because I'd be meeting my husband today." Callista almost choked on her coffee.“Already?" Valeria nodded. “We talked last night and arranged to meet later today." Callista smiled. “That's good. I hope you like him." “I will," Valeria replied quickly, too quickly.She hurried up and left the house, after giving her friend a peck on the cheek.***By 6:40a.m, Valeria is standing in front of the only skyscraper in the city.The morning sun casted warm glow on its glass, and it casted a light on her gray eyes.“This is it," Valeria whispers, straightening her dress before walking in.“Sofia Cliff?” The receptionist asked." Yes,” Valeria lied.She kne

“I can't do this, there's no way I'm doing it," Valeria Cruz murmured to herself.She sat at her usual table in her favorite coffee shop, her coffee sat in front of her, untouched.She kept sighing to herself, as she replayed her father's proposal over and over again.No matter how hard she thought about it, there was no way she was getting married to Grey Wilson.Just then, Mrs Romano walks in. An elderly woman in her mid sixties, and the judge of a federal high court. Valeria had met Mrs Romano here at the coffee shop months back, and since then, their friendship grew.She looked up and forced a smile as she waved at Mrs Romano who approached her with knitted brows.“You don't look okay," Mrs Romano observed, stopping at Valeria's table.Valeria sighed again. “I'm okay." Mrs Romano scoffed and pulled out a chair.“I might not know much about you," she said, lowering herself onto the chair. “But I know you smile and laugh alot." A thought crossed Valeria's mind. This is a judge, ma
