Love Behind the Veiled Terror 31
The distinctive fragrance made Valerie stretch her body. She blinked and for some reason her whole body ached all over, as if she had been on a long journey.She is on the bed… her memory tried to scramble, and then she remembered how she had been wrestling on the bed, trying to fight Jose's will to take her somewhere. She remembers that Jose covered her mouth, but after that she doesn't remember anything else.Her fingers moved to rub the sheets under her body and she realized that this sheet was different from the usual. Valerie gasped and widened her eyes, trying to break through the darkness that surrounded this room.This wasn't the room she was placed in before, this was a different room! Valerie sat down and looked around. As soon as her eyes adapted to the darkness, she was able to gaze around the dim surroundings.Where is she now?Valerie started to panic. She got up from the bed, faintly heard a strange sound in the distance, the sound of the waves crashing.The sound of t

George's question was answered when the figure of a young woman, perhaps his age, in very sexy clothes came down the stairs. Her steps were graceful and she gave a flirtatious smile when she saw George. Without warning, the woman drew closer to Mr James and clung to his arm.“Who's interrupting our lunch break, honey?” the woman's beautiful lips, which are wearing seductive lipstick so that they look wet and sparkling, slightly pouted. Her eyes darted to George and May, studying them.Meanwhile George was flabbergasted by the scene before him. The woman was young, while Mr James's age could be twice that. However, looking at their body language, it seemed like they were lovers.Mr. James looked up at George and smiled with a shrug.“I rented this house to Aria, my lover. It would be impossible if I asked her to live together in the house I live in now in this country.” Mr. James blinked his eyes. “You know I have a child and a wife in my home country.”George nearly gawked if he did n

George drove the car confused and took many deep breaths. When he was at the traffic light, he stopped and turned his head, staring at May who repeatedly stole glances at him.“Something's weird, I know that. There seems to be something hidden behind his friendly attitude.”“Maybe you were too suspicious of him, George.” The woman looked at her fellow agent and boss with a look full of meaning. “He is just a flirtatious old man.”George studied everything. He once again took a deep breath. Maybe it was he who was too suspicious, maybe it was George's urge to find Valerie that made him push all the clues.“You are right, May, I am sorry. This mission had too much influence on my emotions.”May gave him an understanding look. “I understand, George.”However, when she turned her face away from his sight, May could not hide her smile. Now that everything is in order, George will never be able to find Valerie. Later, when he accepts the fact that there is no hope between him and Valerie, t

George was sitting in the middle of his room, pondering.Valerie.The name lingered over and over in his mind, making him almost go crazy thinking about her. The most painful feeling was when he realized that he was powerless to find the woman he loved.He picked up his phone and called his boss. “I can not find her.”His boss was silent for a while before making a sound. “You have tried, our team will keep looking.” The man cleared his throat. “I just hope that when Valerie's memory returns, she is with us, not with the Slayer.”George frowned. “Is it only Valerie's memory that matters to you? Why not think about her safety too?”“Remember, George, do not get carried away with this task. You must remember that our main mission is to protect Valerie until her memories return. We worry that she knows something about the results of her father's research, that might jeopardize the defense and security of our country. Until now we are not sure, That is why we have to guard Valerie until h

“You must come down, Miss Valerie. Mr. Jose would like to meet you for dinner downstairs.”Don entered the room and half gave a formal bow to Valerie. She gave him a huffed look. So That is why all of a sudden the servants came and brought her this pretty light blue dress which was quite formal. She was forced to wear it because no other dress was provided for her in this room.“I do not want to come down,” muttered Valerie stubbornly, not wanting to just let that man get what he wanted. Don looked at Valerie speculatively then began to take out his fishing rod.“You really do not want to quit? Maybe this is your only chance to get out of this room. do not you feel bored? Besides, I am also worried if you refuse Mr. Jose's invitation to dinner. He will decide to keep you locked up in this room and you will not have a chance to go out again.”This old man has a point too, Valerie was stunned. She was tired of being in the room all the time. When holding her, Jose was really cruel and l

A chilly sea breeze hit Valerie's face as George dragged her along as they galloped. Jose's bodyguards would now know that there was an intruder and Valerie had run away. They are being chased.George led Valerie through the tall bush at the end of a rocky beach that was seldom crossed. Prior to this island, George had studied its structure and knew that this rocky part of the site would likely escape from scrutiny, because the structure makes it impossible to anchor the boat.However, George did not get rid of it. He moored a small anchor for his boat which he left slightly out to sea, in a dark corner. Then he swam toward the island, rising silently to the mainland in the darkness.That method apparently succeeded in getting him to the island without being caught by anyone and even escaping into the house.Actually George himself did not think he could enter the island this easily. However, for some reason, the guard on the island was quite quiet, there was only one or more people a

George poured a cup of strong black coffee from the coffee maker. A fragrant aroma immediately wafted into the air, filling the room. He glanced at Valerie.The woman was crying hysterically, her condition was so confused that George thought he should take Valerie to a psychiatrist. The incident earlier was probably too soul-shaking.The sound of a car was heard in front of his house, making him immediately peek outside with caution. He sighed when he saw Charlotte who got out of the taxi. Before she knocked on the door, George had opened the door and greeted her.“Where is Valerie?” Charlotte peered in trying to find. George tilted his body, letting her in.“On the sofa, she fell asleep after crying for a long time.”Charlotte stared at George in confusion. “What happened, George?”“I can't explain it to you now,” George muttered sternly. “I just hope you can cheer up Valerie.”“Of course I will.” Charlotte smiled, her eyes glanced towards Valerie who was sleeping curled up on the so

[One year before the accident that happened to Valerie and her father]“Val, this is Jose, he will be escorting me.”Professor Benjamin, Valerie's father, led the handsome man into the living room where she was sitting and reading her favorite novel. She gasped when she saw the guest her father had brought.Jeez! The man was very handsome, like a god's creation, with dark eyes and strong facial lines, like a god.The man stretched out his hand and Valerie immediately replied nervously, creating a faint smile on the man's lips.“I am Jose, your father's boss who is also my boss, assigned me to look after Professor Benjamin.”“Why do you have to be taken care of, Father?” Valerie turned towards her father while frowning, confused.Professor Benjamin gave Jose a confused look, but the man even made a flat face, unwilling to help. It kept Professor Benjamin busy himself figuring out why.“I am on an important and secret project, honey.”“Secret project?”Valerie was still frowning, her fa
