Love Behind the Veiled Terror 36
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

Jose sat in his room. This room is directly opposite Valerie's room, his eyes are watching the whole room.Well, not bad for a professor's house. He was actually not used to living in an ordinary room like this, let alone in a house that belonged to an ordinary person. The room that Jose prepared was usually the best room in a five-star hotel.However, currently Jose is carrying out his duties. Well, people should be afraid of him. He is a very dangerous assassin, famous in the dark world as a killer who never fails.Actually, Jose never considered murdering to be his career. In the past, his life was hard because he was a child who came from an orphanage with the name Jose Alejandro, a name given to him by his orphanage's mother.They gave him the name because they did not even know who he was when he was found crying at the door of the orphanage, almost turning blue from the cold outside.As a teenager, Jose leaves the orphanage, fleeing to live independently, but then he is trapped

Once again there seemed to be a rush in the kitchen, causing Jose to frown. He has been living in this tiny house for almost two months and feels a strange feeling. It was as if he was in his own house and as if Valerie was supposed to be wherever she was.Jose always held back, although sometimes he looked at Valerie and felt his excitement suddenly rise. Sometimes he rushes to take cold showers to cool off his passion, smiles wryly and hopes this is just one of the effects of his celibacy for a long time without women.He had originally thought he would feel this passion for any woman who fit his criteria, but it did not. Many beautiful women are of course willing to satisfy his desires, but he only wants Valerie, he doesn't want anyone else.With calm steps and wearing a flat expression, Jose stepped into the kitchen.“What is this?”He saw Valerie was slicing a large slice of lemon sponge cake in a circle and placing it in a grid of boxes. In another box were rice, fried noodles,

Their relationship had changed since the kiss by the river. Valerie did not hold back her rapidly growing interest in Jose and vice versa. The man could no longer hold back from showing his affection for her.They always spent time together and enjoyed it a lot. Sometimes they just stay at home, do not go anywhere, sitting reading with a cup of hot coffee at the table. After a long time, Jose would pull Valerie into his arms and kiss her, then they would make out.However, apparently Jose is still holding back from doing anything more. Valerie is an inexperienced innocent woman and Jose can't afford to break that innocence just because he wants to vent his passion. He had thought about it for a long time. They had only met for a while, but their drive for passion and the bond between them was intense. It made him believe that Valerie was where he was anchored.Then one night, when Valerie came home she found the room so dark and dense, her forehead frowned.Did the lights go out? Howe

After a long journey, they landed at an international airport. They continued their journey to Tuscany, a region known for its vineyards and olive groves.Even though she was tired, Valerie really enjoyed the trip and felt a shame if she fell asleep. She loved the place, the scenery, the atmosphere and the beauty of the ancient cities and the endless peaceful sunflower fields in the countryside.Jose explained that they are now in the area between Florence and Siena, which also includes the wine region, Chianti, and also San Gimignano. The place where Jose himself has quite extensive vineyards there.They have to travel about eighty kilometers to the city of Lucca, a city that sits on a plateau with the Alps towering above it.During the next few hours, Valerie finally fell asleep and only woke up when Jose touched her shoulder gently. She was fast asleep on his lap.“We've arrived at my town,” murmured Jose hoarsely, looking at Valerie with deep and passionate eyes.She was blown awa

[Back to the present]Valerie opened her eyes and gasped and stared in confusion at the room around her. The strong smell of medicine and all over the whitewashed walls let her know where she was. There was an IV in her arm and when she felt her head, there was a bandage on it, a little painful to touch.Valerie's heart was churning rapidly and her tears were flowing profusely. She remembered everything; everything, from start to finish, from her first meeting with Jose to her breakup due to the accident.At that instant, Valerie suddenly remembered Jose's sad expression when she shot him.
