A Pawn In His Dirty Game Chapter 052
*ZACHARY*My fists clenched as he continued to spew out nonsense, my fingers buzzing with the urge to break his nose. I flexed them instead. He's Valerie's father. “So your point is you’ll take back what you said if we endorse you as a capable president of the finance bank?” I spat.A grin spread across his face .“Exactly. Then you can keep her,” he answered smoothly and I chuckled.Keep her? Like she was some property.What kind of a father is he?I felt my control slipping bit by bit as I watched his smug face.“But that's not how apologies work,” I muttered and his smile dropped. “You tainted my name. You should pay for it.”The air around us suddenly shifted.“Oh dear, we both know who the public believe,” he drawled, his lips curling into a smirk. “A helpless father over a husband with an uncontrollable temper. ”I froze.“What?He leaned back into his chair as he watched me . “She showed me a bruise on her wrist. I can used that against you and watch everything you've work

VALERIE “Why aren't you saying anything? I asked when he went suddenly quiet. “You need to ask questions for me answer, babe.” I narrowed my eyes at the endearment. What the hell is wrong with him? I huffed and slumped on the couch. “How much do you remember?” he questioned, holding my gaze.“Nothing apart from the name Scarlett,” The lie slipped past my lips easily.“You remember Scarlett? His eyes widened slightly and I almost rolled my eyes far back to my head.“You called me that at the rooftop,” I muttered flatly.“Before your mum's death, you were Scarlett.....” He began, pressing two fingers against his temple. “...Scarlett Hampton but your name was suddenly changed to Valerie.”I shifted in my seat, suddenly feeling a pressing weight on my chest.I was really Scarlett.“My mother......how did she die? I asked in a shaky voice.“ I was really young then but it was a car accident,” he answered.I held my breath as I asked the next question.“Was I in the car with her?His

VALERIE My fingers brushed the scarf wrapped around my head, making sure it was tightly secure as I waited for my turn. My eyes were shielded behind dark sunglasses to prevent people from recognizing me. Still, it didn't stop the stares as though people could see straight through the disguise.I managed to slip out of Zachary's iron grip earlier this morning. My fingers drummed restlessly against my legs as I waited for my name to be called. I'm doing this for my sanity. I reminded myself.“Miss blackwood? ” The receptionist 's voice rang out. My heart lurched at the name , the alias I had chosen for myself to go through this unnoticed. Slowly, I rose to my feet and followed her. The door clicked shut behind me and woman in thick rimmed glasses that rested on her nose glanced up. Her hair was packed in a messy bun , stray strands framing her neck. A slow smile curved her lips as she gestured for me to sit. I didn't return her smile. I was too rattled to. Pushing the seat b

ZACHARY Relief rushed through me as I held her close, clutching her tight like a lifeline.I almost lost her. My Scarlet. Not again. The name slipped past my lips but I couldn't care less. She was still Scarlet to me. Thankfully, I had someone trail her. I couldn't Imagine what would have happened if I didn't get here in time. Her father. That bastard. I wondered what he said to her. She pulled away slowly from my arms and the detached look in her eyes caught me off guard. “Are you okay? My voice came out in a whisper.She said nothing. She only stared at a point above my head. Detached. Shit! She needed a doctor. I yanked her to her feet and thankfully, she didn't protest as I pull her away in the direction of my car. I yanked the door open and guided her inside. She sank into the seat like a ragged doll, staring blankly ahead. My chest tightened. I slammed the door shut quietly, not to startle her and slipped behind the wheel. The engine revved to life, it's low pu

TRIGGER WARNING ‼️ SUICIDE ATTEMPT.VALERIE My stomach churned violently . “Why? You want to set me up with him? He let out a low chuckle as he lifted his flute to his lips and took a sip. “It doesn’t matter which Wellington you end up with,” he said smoothly, eyes gleaming mischievously over the rim of the glass. “Either way, I’ll get the finance bank.”I scoffed, rolling my eyes. “So,” he crooned, his tone dropping low as he leaned closer. Every trace of amusement erased. “About the finance bank. I need you to put in a good word for me with the Wellingtons… and then” his lips curved into a cold smile “you’ll be daddy’s girl again.”I shot him an incredulous look.“Once I have the finance bank, we will become very powerful… unstoppable.”A bitter laugh slipped past my lips.“Unstoppable?” My voice cracked. “I feel so ashamed. Your daughter is missing, and all you care about is power!”His eyes hardened and he shot me a look that would have shut me off. But not today.“I see you

VALERIE The knife grazed his wrist and he flinched, blood stained his white shirt.Julian lunged again with a murderous glint in his eyes but this time, Zachary was faster. He easily overpowered him. He twisted Julian's arm and slammed against his wrist until the knife clattered to the ground. Shoving Julian aside, he kicked the knife, far away from his reach. Security guards rushed to our direction. “Are you okay, Sir? One of them asked, eying his bloodied shirt warily. Zachary glanced down at the crimson like he forgot he was injured. “I'm fine,” he muttered. “Just take him away,”He motioned at Julian who was on all fours on the ground. He spat curses and thrashed as the guards yanked him to his feet.“You bastard! He spat. “You set me up !My head jerked up and sneaked a glance at Zachary. He tilted his head, a cocky smirk tugging at his lips.“It’s not my fault you couldn’t keep it in your pants,” he drawled, voice dripping with mockery. “Going after a minor? That’s low
