Hey everyone,
I sincerely want to apologize. There are two chapter 030 and it's a mistake on my part. I have made some modifications and waiting for my editor to approve them. Till then, bear with me. With love, Xoxo 💖.VALERIE 🎀 After I threw Michael out of my office despite his pleas, I raced to my apartment. I left the car engine running and rushed inside. That was how desperate I was. My heels clicked frantically against the tiled floor as I half ran to my room. I tossed my bag to the bed and slipped my heels off before moving to my closet.I yanked the door open and dug through the pile of clothes, my chest heaving.My fingers grazed something hard. Slowly, I pulled it out. It was a box I had shoved to the back a month ago.My hands trembled as I flipped it open. Inside, was the note I thought was from Michael, just the way I left it.The words I once tried to erase from my memory stared back at me.I took a closer look at the words and my breath hitched.Something was wrong. I often pride myself in the fact that I knew everything about Michael— his flaws, his habits, his handwriting. So why... why didn't I notice this? It wasn't Michael's handwriting. It mimicked his... but not perfe
VALERIE 🎀 I held him as he tried to gather his broken pieces together.And it struck me—we all carry demons, and Zachary was no different.His shoulders shook violently, he clung to me desperately as if letting go would shatter him completely. He buried his face against my neck, and I felt the raw tremor of his breath, the unguarded sobs he couldn’t stop.His hoarse voice cracked against my skin Pity twisted in my chest and I almost laughed at the irony.For the first time, I wasn’t staring at Zachary Wellington, the man the world feared and revered, the ruthless billionaire who always seemed untouchable.No.Right now, he was just Zachary. A boy haunted by scars no one else could see. His sobs finally subsided, and he pulled away from me. His eyes were bloodshot and swollen from crying, his face a mask of exhaustion and pain.I watched as he pushed himself off the floor, his shoulders sagging—not like the feared Zachary Wellington, but like a lost, fragile child.I didn't say any
ZACHARY 👔 TRIGGER WARNING Valerie was getting naughty lately and it thrilled me in a dangerous way. Every night she slipped into lingerie—lace, silk, satin—each night a different color. She paired them with matching robes that barely concealed anything, strutting through the hallway . I stopped coming downstairs for a glass of water instead, I found myself glued to my monitor screen watching her from the cameras. That has gradually been our routine —her in a lingerie and I silently watching her, wondering what game she was playing. But whatever she was doing… it was working.I now found myself looking forward to seeing her in another color, like a damn addict. I wonder which one she’ll wear tonight.The red was my favorite.Fuck.A twitch in my lower region told me just how far she had gotten under my skin.I underestimated her.She was slowly becoming my addiction.That night in the restroom haunted me—her gasps under my touch, the soft moans that still claw at my sanity, t

VALERIE 🎀 The word echoed in my head long after he said it.Slut.My chest heaved, my cheeks burning from both shame and fury.How dare he?I shoved him off and slid off the sink, my legs shaky. His cruel smirk still taunted me, daring me to break.But I wouldn’t break."Is that all you’ve got, Zachary?" I spat, my voice trembling with restrained venom. His eyes narrowed and he tilted his head in amusement."No, there's more to come." He trailed his fingers down my bare shoulder and I fought the urge to shiver. What's wrong with me?I slapped his hand away and he chuckled."Especially now that I know your body respond to my touch," He drawled and I glared at him, tears stinging the corners of my eyes.He circled around me like I was a prey and him, the predator."Be a good girl, Ursula." His voice hardened."I'm a tiny close to loosing my patience." I shoved past him and stormed off He might have won this moment, but I would not give him the satisfaction of seeing me cru
VALERIE 🎀 The air went still. What was he doing? Somebody pinch me. "Anyone else?" The host demanded scanning the hall but everyone was quiet and I could hear a pin drop. "Sold!" He yelled after a beat of silence and the bell chimed. The applause that followed felt distant. An attendant brought out the necklace from the glass case and gave it to Zachary. It was more beautiful up close. Scratch that. It was breathtaking. "For my wife," He declared holding up the necklace and the awws that followed almost made me puke. I blinked at him in surprise. What was he doing? Before I could open my mouth, the attendant leaned forward, waiting for Zachary to hand it back for safekeeping but he didn’t. Instead, Zachary turned to me, eyes gleaming with something I couldn’t name. His gaze lingering enough to make my breath hitch. Without a word, he leaned closer and swept my hair to a side not breaking eye contact. My heart thundered as his fingers grazed the nape of m
