"I'm not marrying him!" *** Valerie Wills came from a prestigious and wealthy family. Yet her family is still thirsty for those things. She was a beautiful young lady that was set to marry the man she never met, Eldifonso Suarez. Along the way she would discover that Eldifonso Suarez was the modern Cupid, who was wearing masks around her. Unlike the classical Cupid, he was cold and domineering. But no one tends to harm Valerie because they fear Eldifonso. Would it be possible for Valerie Wills to fall in love with him even though their marriage was all for money and his treatment of her was cold as ice?
View MoreI am on my way home from my office. On the way, I often peeked outside because I wished to see Valerie walking on the sidewalks or maybe sitting on the steel chairs on the side of the street. Suddenly, a car blocked the way. It's a good thing because I braked immediately. Otherwise we would have collided, which could have caused an accident. I got out of the car to see who shamelessly blocked in front of me. A familiar face flashed before my eyes, looking at me straight to my soul. What I felt was not anger but fear that he would ask where his daughter was. He was in a red suit, and the way he walked at me caused my knees to shiver. Why do I become like this? Why did all the courage I gathered since they fired me from their company and imprisoned me for a sin I did not commit suddenly disappear? “Mister Suarez, it's good to meet you.”“What do you need from me, Mister Wills? I gave you what you wanted. You got a lot of money from me. I guess there's no reason for us to meet and di
I am attracted to her not only because she's sexy or because she caused me to be hypnotized because of her seductive beauty, but because my heart was telling me that Valentina and I were connected even before—because she is my wife. I'm in my car right now, thinking about what Sabrina told me. Valerie made her life very private after I dumped her. My phone made a sound, disturbing my deep thinking about my wife. “Hello, Martin. What's the news?”“Sir, it's really bad news. It's like, in the blink of an eye, our clients retreated together. They say they have found a new supplier of arms. They even said that what that supplier produces is more durable.”“What?! Martín, this can't be! Who is their supplier?!”“I don't know, sir. After they backed out of the deal, they blocked our social media accounts and even the numbers we use to communicate with them.”I sighed heavily. This is definitely my karma because of the people who were killed by the illegal weapons that I produced. I just fe
Martin and I walked back and forth, but we didn't find a skeleton in the place where he dumped Valerie's body. It gave me hope; she was still alive. I looked at the piece of heaven I glimpsed when I looked up under the big trees. “Martin, Valentina is Valerie. My hope grew stronger because there was no skeleton here to prove that she was dead.”“Yes, sir. Ma'am Valerie is still alive. We can even change our mistakes towards her. I can apologize to her after I brought her to this place.”I smiled bitterly. “She will forgive you immediately, Martin. My wife knows that you only did that to her because of my order. It was visible to her that you are loyal to me, so she won't hold a grudge against you; she will definitely be angry with me!”“She loves you, sir.”I turned my gaze to Martin and nodded. “I know. But I'm sure that she has had different feelings for me through the years. And I can't blame her if she hates me that much again.” My tears rolled down my face. I turned to the ot
A few nights passed when Valentina completely cut our ties. She said that the meeting between the two of us will lead nowhere. If I could wear my mask earlier so that she would know that I am her husband, you would have done it. But I hesitated doing that because if she finds out that I and Eldifonso are one, she might get scared and hide again. Yes, she said that we would never see each other again. But I will do everything to always see her. I know that she is my wife, that I did wrong before, that I was angry because of her parents, that I didn't give even a little love to, and that I didn't take care of her despite her love for me. I reached for the half-full bottle of whiskey and poured a small amount into a small glass. I drank the alcohol and sighed after, looking at the dark sky with just a few stars twinkling for it. “Daddy, I can't sleep,” my son said from behind. I put the glass on the table and turned to him. He came to me carrying his Stitch teddy bear. I bent down
Shaking with nervousness, I let go of the curtain. I headed to the living room. I noticed that there was no water there, and only the whiskey is something to be used to water my throat, that the staff was sure to bring here a few minutes before I came. I opened it and drank its contents as if it were just water. I hated her family, I swore that I would never fall for Wills' daughter. But fuck! I fell for her. I know that she introduced herself as Valentina to me, but she is still her, my wife that I killed with my own hands. After I put down the almost empty bite of whiskey on the table, I felt my cheek that was covered with teardrops.How did my wife survive? Before I threw him to Martin wherever he threw him, I made sure that he was really dead. I must be mistaken. Maybe she and Valerie really do look alike. It is impossible for a dead person to come back to life, but if she were my wife, I would be glad so that I could rewrite my mistakes.Out of curiosity, I stared at the powd
I went straight to my office after I delivered Amia and Foval to the learning center. I sat on the swivel chair and turned it around. I was thinking about what Amia said to me earlier. “Me? Loving Valerie? It's crazy!”I just admit to myself that she is beautiful, sexy, and smart. But I can't love the daughter of the people who ruined my life and caused me to lose the only family I have. No matter how many times I die, they will not be forgiven, and I will never forget that family. What they did to me is the reason why I experienced eating leftover food thrown in the trash and eating food spat on by people who don't know kindness. There's no reason to love the fruit of the sinful roots. I stood up and grabbed a bottle of tequila from the double-door fridge in my office. I opened the bottle and poured an amount of alcohol into the glass. I immediately drank the tequila and gasped for air. It was bitter and bold; it felt like it kicked my stomach. “I was jealous of Martin,” I said
When I got home to the mansion, I immediately went to my son's room. I slowly opened the door and immediately peeked at him. He was lying on his side, hugging his Stitch teddy bear. He was really good-looking, like his mother. I came to his bed. I sat next to him and held his little face, feeling his smooth and soft skin. Signor Suarez's threat was haunting my mind. My son would probably hate me if he found out the truth. While I was staring at him, I didn't realize that I was in tears. “Son, I did that because your mommy already knew about my illegal business. Yes, I told her that I will keep you away from her when she gives birth to you, but it's all my words. If only she wasn't a threat to our safety, to my business, and in your future, you would probably be with her.”He moved his lips, making me smile even though my eyes didn't stop producing tears. I can't handle my son rebelling against me when he finds out what I did to his mother. If he finds out what really happened t
When we were inside the room, I sat on the sofa. I let her walk around the room. She was wondering why someone like me could afford this expensive room. “Who are you really, Eli? I've only seen you now in my whole life. You're rich, but you weren't mentioned in the news and magazines where rich people are usually flexed.”I shook my head and stood up, crossing my arms while my eyes were stuck at her waist. “Is it necessary when you're rich to be in the news and in every corner where the names of rich people are posted?”“Eli, that's the way of America! Especially here in Austin, TX. You know that the people who live here are greedy for fame, right?”I scratched my nose because of what Valentina said. It's like she has many personalities that surprise me. When Signor Suarez was training me to pretend to be his grandson, he also taught me how to avoid questions I didn't know the answer to. He said that I should ask back so that the person I'm talking to won't notice me. “You, are
My brain stopped functioning when I saw her coming to my table with her hair falling down on the back of her tube dress, covering her fair white skin that was revealed to the crowd while she was performing earlier. I giggled when she sat down beside me. She was staring at me, and her eyes were asking why I let out a soft laugh. I sighed, looking at her. My heart was filled with the desire to touch her tonight. I am really excited about what will happen tonight. “Eli, right?” she asked me, to which I just nodded. “Well, Eli, Sabrina told me that you paid a lot to have me. What do you want to happen?” There was a tone in her tone that surprised me. I poured whiskey into the small glass and immediately drank the alcoholic beverage. I let go of the hot air, releasing the little tension I have. “Uhm. Valentina, you know what? I am eager to share a night with you. That's what I want. That's what every man here wants.*“They just stare at me because they can't have me. But you? You are
—Valerie Wills— “I will not marry that old man, dad!” I said, yelling, trying to convince my father. We are currently having our dinner. My father is twitching his pasta with the golden fork in his hand. “We are not discussing this anymore, Valerie. You are going to marry him because that is necessary,” dad said in a calm tone. I throw my stare at my mother who is currently eating her vegetables salad. she just gave me a blank face, meaning she will not be going to help me out of this situation. "I am not marrying him!" "You will! You must," he said. “Dad, he's old enough for me. I am still young. I just graduated from my baccalaureate degree. Now, I am going to marry? It's quite funny! No! It's hilarious!” Dad continually being the coldest man on Earth. He didn't even think that this matter was concerning me and the rest of my life. “It doesn't matter now, Val. Age is just a number. Maybe he's old enough compared to you. But at the end of the day it's his money
