VALERIE 🎀

TRIGGER WARNING.

Blood drained from my face, and my heart raced with a thousand thoughts.

Oh God… I’m going to die.

My chest rose and fell in quick, ragged breaths. Then—

“Don’t.”

A whisper, cold and close behind me.

I froze. The sound sent a chill down my spine, and sweat broke out across my back. My hands trembled. Panic surged through me, and without thinking, I turned and bit the intruder’s finger.

“What the—!” he yelled, recoiling with a pained hiss.

That voice. It was familiar.

I lunged for the light switch. The room flooded with brightness, and my eyes landed on him.

“Zachary?”

He scowled, nursing his finger. “Are you some kind of rabid dog?”

I folded my arms, still trembling. “Good for you. Why would you scare me like that?”

He shrugged as if nothing had happened. “Because it’s fun.”

My lips parted in disbelief.

“ You are insane, who the hell scare the shit out of someone just because it’s fun?

  • A Pawn In His Dirty Game   Chapter 065

    *VALERIE*Beep. Beep. Beep. The steady rhythm drilled into my skull, dragging me out of darkness.I groaned, trying to roll on my side but a sharp searing pain shot through my arm.My eyes peeled open. Everything was blurry at first. I blinked a few times, my eyelids feeling heavy and slowly, the fog cleared. Harsh fluorescent lights glared from above from the white unfamiliar ceiling.The sterile scent of antiseptic drifted through my nose.A thin tube trailed from my wrist, connecting to the beeping machine.My throat felt like sandpaper...dry and scratchy.I swallowed hard, trying to piece together how I got here.Then it hit me all at once.Panic flared in my chest as I jerked awake.Someone groaned from my side. I stiffened.My head turned slowly and my gaze landed on a figure slumped over the edge of the bed, his messy curls falling over his face.His breath was even, his lips slightly parted as he snored softly.Zachary.His name left my lips in a whisper.Unconsciously, m

    *VALERIE*I froze, the cold metal pressed against my temple. My eyes squeezed shut, my heart pounded violently. This is it. I'm going to die. “Lower your guns.. or I blow off her skull.”No one moved. Gareth's fingers pressed against the trigger as he cocked the gun. The officers lowered their weapons and my eyes widened in fear. What are they doing? “Step back! ” he barked and they followed his orders.Then he backed away slowly towards the waiting car, the muzzle of his gun still pressed to my head. He pulled open the car door and shoved me inside like a ragdoll. Pain shot through me as my injured shoulder made contact with the leather chair. Without waiting for a second, he swung into the driver's seat and stepped on the pedal. The engine roared to life. Tires screeched as the car lurched forward away from the clearing into the moonlit road.Bullets rained after us as the officers open fire.A bullet hit one of the side mirrors but that didn't stop Gareth.He drove li

    *VALERIE*“You really think you can escape from me, huh?!”Gareth's hand striked my cheek and I hit the ground from the impact.Tears burned my vision both from the pain from my shoulder and the crushing weight of despair. I clung to his leg, my voice breaking from desperation. “Please, let me go,” I croaked out. “I won't say anything, I promise.”He crouched lower to meet my eyes, his lips curled into a sneer and his eyes...they gleamed dangerously in a way that sent chills down my spine.“You really want to go to him that bad?” he sneered, grabbing my jaw. I winced as his grip tightened, forcing my gaze to meet his.“Too bad, you belong to me now,” he whispered darkly, then shove me aside.A whimper escaped my lips when his fingers grazed my shoulder, the very one that was injured. Just then, the door bursted open with a force that made the hinges squeak and two of his men stumbled in.Gareth turned sharply to his men.“Did you find her?” he demanded.“Yes, boss. She already mad

    *ZACHARY*I sprinted into the police station when I made sense of Ian's text. He found the necklace which means there was progress. For the first time in days, I felt hope but it all drained away when my eyes landed on a frail girl, curled up under a thin blanket in a far corner. She hugged her knees, whimpering.Ian met me halfway from the corridor. His eyes were hollowed, dark circles around them like he hasn't slept for days.“Who is she ?” I asked, clearing my throat to mask my disappointment.He stared at me , his jaw tight.“That's Valerie's sister,” He answered, raking a hand through his disheveled hair. “She’d been wandering for hours. The tracker kept changing locations, so I tracked the signal. Turned out she has the necklace.”My feet moved swiftly.I didn't look at the uniformed officers milling about. I went straight to her.Her eyes were unfocused until they locked on me.Something like recognition flickered in them—Which was odd because I had never met her—and then t

    *ZACHARY*“Is it true your wife fled because you were abusive?!”“Do you have anger issues, Mr. Wellington?!”“Did you really stop taking your pills?!”Reporters swarmed me like bees, shoving their microphones into my face, flashes exploding in every direction.Their voices melted into one chaotic buzz, each question sharper than the last.One of my men stepped in, forcing them back, clearing a narrow path for me through the madness.News of Valerie's disappearance leaked to the press after I made a report to the cops.They went into work immediately, dispatching their SWAT team to Fort Tilden.I wanted to come along.I couldn't bear doing nothing but the officer in charge sternly warned me to stay put.Now all I can do is wait for their response, even if it killed me every second.I kept my head down as I pushed through the sea of cameras.Flashes lit my vision like lightning, every one of them capturing the worst version of me.The man who couldn’t protect his wife.The monster the

    *VALERIE* Cara whimpered as she clutched me tighter. Gareth had striked her cheek for talking back at him. “You coward!” she snarled and his fist connected with her cheek. I shielded her body with my arms as it absorbed her tears. Gareth straightened, running a hand through his hair. His lips curled into a cruel grin. “You should have laid low,” he hissed, grabbing her jaw harshly. I tried to step in but he shoved me aside. “We both know you were adopted just to be her plaything.” I froze. How did he know Cara was adopted? I was the only one who knew apart from my father. Cara only discovered it when she fell so ill and needed a blood transfusion. Our blood didn't matched hers . So I told her the truth. “It's not true,” Cara whimpered, her eyes brimming with tears. “You really think you're her sister? You are just a pathetic orphan!” Gareth taunted and I lunged at him, grabbing his arms. “Stop... please,” I begged desperately, tears burning the back of my vi
