A Pawn In His Dirty GameĀ Ā Ā Chapter 039
VALERIE āOh, you two are up already,ā Isabel said with a soft smile as we descended down the stairs. She was at the lobby giving instructions to a staff who scurried off at her command.āYeah we had a rough night,ā Zachary replied smoothly with a wink, his tone casual but the pun in his words was anything but.My jaw dropped. Rough night? My cheeks flushed when Isabel gave me a knowing look , her eyes sparkling.She, thankfully didn't say anything else, clapped her hands together. āWell, you are just in time for brunch. Come join usāothers are waiting.āWhen she wasn't looking, I elbowed Zachary in the ribs and he let out a low grunt, still managing to look amused.Isabel turned, her eyes narrowing and I flashed her a smile.We followed Isabel as she led us into dining hall.The dining hall overlooked the ocean, floor-to-ceiling glass windows letting in sunlight that danced across the waves. The scent of freshly brewed coffee and buttered croissants filled the air.Giovanni rose f

VALERIE āYou've got to be kidding me!I panicked. āWe can't share the same bed, I love my personal space.āHe rolled his eyes. āWould you fancy sleeping on one of these armchairs since you love 'your personal space'? I shook my head. āThis won't do, I need to get another room. āI brushed past him but before I could move any further, his hands snaked around my arm and he pulled me, my back against his chest. I blinked, my eyes wide. āWhat are you doing? Let go of me! āDon't stir up rumors,ā he murmured, his breath hot against my ears.āRumors?! I don't care what you want from them but Iām not doing this with you.āHe whirled me around to face him. āI didn't force you to come. I already told them you won't be coming but you came... willingly so deal with it.ā He said sternly.His expression hardened as he stared at me. I gave him the stink eye and shove him. āThere's no need to touch me to make a point. I can hear you quite well.āHe nodded, his arms unwrapping from my waist. āG

VALERIE The resort for the retreat was the kind of place people only saw in glossy magazines. Hidden away on a private Island within pine forest. The kind of place that whispered and screamed money at the same time.The chandeliers bathed the polished marbled floor with golden hue.Tugging my suitcase along, I took it all in. The simple yet extravagant interior has the feel of a five star hotel. I headed for the reception where a young woman leaned lazily against the counter, snapping her bubble gum loudly.I stopped in front of her and she popped her gum loudly, her eyes sizing me with open disdain and boredom.āChecking in?ā she asked flatly, her tone stripped of every hospitality expected in a place that charged a fortune for one night.I tightened my grip on my suitcase handle, forcing a polite smile. āYes. Under Wellington.āHer brows flicked upward at the name, interest sparking for a brief second.She tapped lazily on the keyboard, her acrylic nails clacking against the key

VALERIE I was painfully aware of his eyes raking over my body shamelessly and the soft music playing was beginning to get on my nerves.Gritting my teeth, I tried so hard to focus on the older couple's love tales but the heat of his eyes on me was distracting. Giovanni and Isabel were wrapped up in their own worldāamidst giggles, sharing food,stealing kisses they assumed went unnoticed. It was effortless with them. Real.My lips was stretched into smile all evening, but the longer it lingered, the more it stung, until my cheeks began to hurt. His eyes crawled up my face and I turned to him, shooting him a glare. His lips curled into a grin and my heart lurched in my chest. āYou too look so good together,ā Isabel chirped, āDon't they, honey? Giovanni's eyes sparkled with affection as he answered her. āThey do, Mi amore.āāWe do? I asked aghast , my eyes darting between me and Zachary. His hand covered mine and I fought the urge to recoil. Is he really putting on an act now?āW

VALERIE š I dragged my feet out of the restaurant, my shoulders sagging with exhaustion. The chatter around me sounded distant, muffled, like I was underwater. Every words of his still taunted me. Cool night air brushed against my skin, but it did nothing to steady me. My mind replayed his sneer, his voice dripping with mockeryFor the first time in a long while, I wasnāt sure who I should fear moreāGareth, or the man Iād married.Were those words true?Zachary married me for an inheritance.The realization dawned on me, knocking the air from my lungs.God. How could I have been so blind?I almost smacked myself right there. What a fool.I should be the one in control hereānot the pawn. And yet I let him treat me like I was at his mercyA force suddenly slammed into me from my right and I staggered a little.āOh my God, Iām so sorry!ā someone blurted, steadying me with a light touch. āI wasnāt watching where I was going. Are you okay?āMy gaze found a small delicate woman in front

VALERIE š After I revealed to the public that my sister was missing and promised a ten million reward to anyone who found her, Iād been drowning in prank calls and spam messages.Each one claimed to have seen her.And each one, without fail, turned out to be nothing but lies.My phone rang for the hundredth time, and I sighed in exhaustion before declining the call.It rang again with the same number flashing across the screen.I let it ring on, refusing to play into another prank.But thenā¦ it stopped.A second later, a message slid across my screen.'If you want to see Cara, stop ignoring my calls.'My blood turned cold and for a moment all I could hear was the pounding in my ears.I was torn between fear and desperation.Was this another prank?Before I could decide, my phone lit up again and this time, I didn't hesitate.āHello?ā my voice cracked.A low chuckle dripped through the speaker.āFinally,ā the voice drawled. āI got your attention."This voice was familiar.I gritted m
