Betrothed To My Fiance's Uncle Chapter - [ 10 ]
[ Valeria ]My eyes blurred with fresh tears, the sharp ache in my heart was unbearable as I stared at the audacity of my love. His secretary posted their picture on a private beach. It was very intimate.He had his hand resting on her flat tummy on a beach. They looked happy in each other's arms. This heartless man kept toying with my feelings when he was with her."Why are you crying, Miss?" A quiet voice caused me to flinch and immediately wiped my tears. I closed the social media account and looked at the source of the voice.There was a small boy standing at a distance from me. He was cute with big blue eyes and raven black hairs. I didn't had to guess who he was.Ashton's child. He had striking resemblance with Ashton except his black hairs."I am sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you." I forced a smile.He nodded his head and turned to leave. He seemed very reserve and quiet boy unlike other kids."May I know your name?" I asked him. We were going to live in the same house. The l

[ Valeria ]"You must explain this."My Mom's eyes were fixed on me as she dragged me in the kitchen. Her polished nails was pointed at Alex who was totally oblivious to our heated conversation."He is Ashton's son and now my legal step son, Mom." I tried to keep my answer brief and direct as it was a sensitive topic for me as well."I know that part, sweetheart." Her tone faltered, "I wouldn't let you marry him if I knew beforehand that my little girl has to play a mother of a five years old. I am feeling pathetic as your mother." Her voice cracked.I held her shoulders and gave her a hug. I had no words to convince her because her outburst was justifiable. I was feeling same though I had no hard feelings for Alexander. He was an innocent child, crushed between his parents' ego and ambitions."He is here with me. Please do not let him feel outcast. His father and the house staff is also not very friendly with him." I requested her."You care for him?" Mom asked out of blue.I was stu

[ Valeria ]"What was that?" I snapped at Ashton as soon as we reached at his house. Thankfully, Alexander was fast asleep and taken to his room. Now, it was only us. I crossed my arms across my chest and gave him a curt look. He couldn't dictate my life."We're leaving in-" He paused and glanced at his wrist watch, "Two hours and twenty seven minutes. Hurry up, and pack your bags. I don't want you to whin when we land in Italy." He said, again avoiding my question. "I'm not going anywhere unless I get my answer from you, Ashton. I'm not your slave or you bought me. You can't just walk in my house and tell me craps." I threw my hands in the air.He closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose. He looked clearly annoyed but I least bothered about him. "Doris is planning to send media at our house in the morning. I am saving you from their brutal interrogations, Valeria. In our world, you can't avoid them forever, you know this but present scenario isn't good for your image." H

[ Valeria ]I kept stealing glances of my last minute husband as he had been engrossed in his laptop for four freaking hours. The man was a workaholic. He didn't look away from the screen even for once and now, boredom brought the worst out of me.I tried watching a movie with Alex but he also fell asleep after an hour as it was midnight and we were 16,000 feet above in the sky in Ashton Rodriguez's private jet.A luxurious plane with all the facilities that we enjoy at a seven star hotel. I had a fair idea of his net worth but living it in real life, was something I found hard to believe."Are you done staring at me?"I heard his deep voice laced in tease. I jerked up and saw him staring back at me, with those soulful eyes piercing through my soul."I...I..am not." I defended myself while my cheeks heated up in embarrassment."I can buy this excuse if you want me." He smirked and shut down his laptop.I was caught red handed and now, there was no escape from this intimidating man who

[ Ashton ]She actually turned me down!What the fuck?She was the fatal flame who was drawing me close like I was a petty moth. I'd burn, my whole world was crashing down since I laid my eyes upon her. I was ready to offer my pride on her feet but I couldn't let her know what I feel for her.My deep, passionate feelings.It was for her own safety.She shouldn't know the dark secrets of my life. She was the ray of hope who had the power to illuminate my darkness.I silently walked out of my room and with steady steps, I padded my way to hers. We hadn't talked since the flight incident. I kind of avoided her. She was a sweet distraction while I was on a mission.The mission to save her from the hidden enemies.I silently opened the door with the master key and sneaked inside. I couldn't stop the smile that spread on my lips seeing how cutely Alexander and Valeria were sleeping like two babies snuggled together.She nicknamed my son, I could see acceptance in her approach towards my son

[ Valeria ]Ashton locked himself in his room since we arrived in Italy. He was behaving distant and awkwardly cold. I had no issue with him being reserved but Alex really wants to enjoy this trip.We got along very well. He is a shy boy but with me, he was living every moment, laughing and playing games with me but my mind kept drifting to Ashton. He can't keep his hands and bold remarks off me.I kind of missing him."Urgh! I hate this." I groaned throwing my phone on the couch since it didn't have cellular network."What happened, Val?" Alex asked who was playing video game on his tablet."Phone network, Alex. I can't see my social media and your father isn't allowing us to take a tour of the city. I mean he is a boring person but we can enjoy or we were fine back at home." I said chewing my nails in frustration and boredom."You're right, Val. We have to do something." He pretended to think hard by tapping his chin."Yes, please or I'll go mad talking to these walls." I huffed slu

[ Valeria ]"You seem lost. What's the matter? I mean it's not my place to ask you nor I have the right but you know curiosity kicks the best out of me." I nudged Ashton who was quite during our trip to the famous spots after the lunch.We were gazing at the setting sun sitting on a stone bench."Just work related and I don't talk much. I thought you would have noticed it by now." There was a hint of mockery in his tone but it was harmless."I noticed but being serious with a poker face throughout the day. You don't get bored?" I tried to tease him.His green eyes looked more beautiful in the lava red sunlight of the evening."No, I don't because that's how I am. You can't change a person's pre-installed nature." He said taking out a cigarette but I snatched it from his hand."We have a kid with us, Ashton and this is a public place." I reprimanded him. I didn't know why I became this bossy around him.I should remember my limits with him because once we'll be back home, we'd on our s

[ Valeria ]The stretch of silence exceeded as only the sound of cutlery against the ceramic plates disturbed it. Ashton again shut me off since we returned from our day out. This man has many layers and each time he confuses me more by his complexity.Not that I'm willing to go all spy on him but he's present in my present. I need to know everything about this man who is my husband.I sliced my tenderly cooked lamb on coal, it was a romantic set up on the rooftop of the hotel but the awkwardness was only known to us."Stop staring, Val. It's creepy." He said without sparing me a glance as his fingers skillfully sliced his meat.I was caught red handed which was more embarrassing."I wasn't staring." I lied through my teeth."Whatever helps to sail your boat." He shrugged and we continued eating in silence whereas other couples talked in hushed voices. Clearly, they loved the privacy that this expensive hotel provides them including their splendid services.Of course, it adds loads to
