Valerie drove out of her parents' compound to go and see Justin's mother. She wanted to tell her of the arrangements she had made and she knew that she wasn't to tell her about what happened to her to prevent shock. She soon arrived at the hospital and went to greet her immediately.
She knocked on the door and peeped through the glass so she would know if it was only her or Justin was there as well. Luckily, it was a nurse that was there so she opened the door and entered inside.
"Good morning ma'am," Valerie greeted.
"Valerie, oh please call me mom," Mrs. Smith said.
"Mum..." Valerie mumbled feeling awkward.
"The wedding is just around the corner so I hope you are comfortable calling me that? At least until I die," Mrs. Smith said.
"Oh please ma'am, I mean mom, don't say that," Valerie said.
"Come and sit down," she said po
The WeddingValerie was clad in her flowing white gown as she sat in the waiting room. Waiting for her father to come and walk her down the aisle. Although she had insisted that Xavier walked her down the aisle instead since her father was the one who forced her in an arranged marriage. Tyler came to meet her as she sulked in her misery."You look pretty," Tyler complimented."I've always been pretty," Valerie said."You are full of your self," Tyler said and they laughed."By the end of today, I'll be married," Valerie said and pouted her lips like a child."Oh please Valerie, what's the worse that could happen?" Tyler said. Valerie hissed knowing that Tyler was about to start a motivational speech."Tell me about your first night together though," Tyler teased and Valerie rolled her eyes.Valerie
It was late in the night. Valerie had finished her favorite program and was in her room. She thought about other married couples. Their marriage nights were like the beginning of their marriage but hers was different, she was going to spend it sleeping in a different room from the man she married.As she closed her eyes, she thought about his bare chest she had seen a little while ago and she tossed it around her bed as she couldn't sleep. She received a call from Tyler and she picked it up."Are you done?" Tyler asked."Done with what?" Valerie asked."The sex obviously," Tyler said."What?" Valerie shrieked."Why are you shouting? It's late," Tyler said."Sorry" Valerie whispered."So what happened?" Tyler asked."Apparently, we are sleeping in different rooms and he didn't make any attempts," V
Justin called Valerie later in the day, he informed her that they had a party to attend. It was like a congratulatory party to celebrate the merging of the companies and their marriage as well. Valerie would have refused but she couldn't.She went home after work and got dressed in a beautiful black gown and Justin looked dashing in the suit he was putting on and they drove to the venue. It was a beautiful garden filled with important guests and great men of the society with their wives apparently. Valerie felt awkward sitting there because she had no one to talk to. Every important man and woman came to wish them well on their marriage and most of them talked to Justin alone. Valerie decided to explore the place while Justin talked to all those who wished to talk to him, with each of them bringing different alcohols with them and Justin drinking each glass he was offered.Justin drank till his eyes were tired and couldn't anymore.&n
Valerie was in the pool when she received a text on her phone. Justin had gone out for a walk and that was how she could take a dip in the pool without wondering if he would be watching her. she got out of the pool and walked to where she had dropped her phone to check the text message. It was from an unknown number which turned out to be Scott's number and she was tempted to ignore it but he sent another and she checked it. It was the picture of him in front of the villa."I'm outside if you ignore. I'll barge in" it read."I promise you I'm not joking" it read. She was surprised. She ran inside to put on full clothes before walking outside to meet Scott outside the house waiting for her."What the hell Scott?" She yelled as she got outside."What are you doing here?" She asked."I came to see you obviously," Scott said."Let's go to where we won't be seen b
Justin had gone to work that morning and had been absent minded throughout, the workers kept calling his attention at each intervals to whatever they were talking about.He couldn't focus and when it was late and time to go home ,he decided not to go. He couldn't bring himself to talk about jaden, he felt he had no right to talk about jaden especially since he was a coward when jaden died, "why should he man up now?" He thought.And he couldn't tell Valerie that he was jealous that she had kissed someone else. He was falling for her slowly and he knew he had to explain,but he had no time for love, he was supposed to be feeling miserable about how he abandoned his best friend in time of need, how could he want to be happy?,he had no right to wish for love or happiness,nevertheless he knew he'll have to tell her the truth so he decided to stay back in the office and sleep on the couch there to avoid any explanation.
Justin couldn't sleep, he didn't know if it was because he didn't eat before going to bed or because of Valerie's outburst. They were married and he knew that but he felt bad that he had never for once treated her like a married woman.Women tend to act lovey-dovey when they are married buy because they got married on a different note and for a different reason, he wasn't able to let her act lovey-dovey, the way would have wanted to. He was determined to make it up to her and he was going to start now.***Valerie couldn't sleep either, she called Tyler to complain to her."Are you nocturnal?" Tyler complained."You should really stop calling me to settle your marital disputes," Tyler said."He didn't even say anything when I talked, he looked like me like I'm a fool," Valerie said ignoring Tyler's outburst at her call."Valerie, don't yo
Valerie couldn't hide her excitement. She wondered if her little wish changed him or if he just decided to become an angel overnight. She couldn't wait to tell Tyler. She felt she was calling her too much and she was slacking off at her work but she shrugged it off since she had a manager already. When she was done with her coffee, she went out and flagged down a cab. She suddenly remembered that they should have taken a picture together but there's always the next time, she thought.When she arrived at Star Lounge, she saw that there was a commotion going on, she quickly dashed in because a lot of people had gathered there and some were filming it, in fact.When she got inside, she saw Tyler soaked in alcohol and James running his mouth endlessly. Tyler was crying and James was yelling at her on top of his voice.James was Tyler's celebrity ex-boyfriend who is an actor who used to beat her up, Valerie was filled with ra
The sun shined brightly through the window Valerie had left opened the night before, she could swear that she had closed it before but she was probably just imagining that she did and not that she actually did. She secretly hoped Justin would give her a necklace the night before but he didn't and she was slightly disappointed but she waved off with the fact that he at least got two right.She heard and knock on the door and went to open the door and it was Justin who knocked."What do you say we grab a meal at noon today?" Justin asked but Valerie was smitten by his dazzling look in a suit and his masculine scent."Valerie?" Justin said."Sure..." Valerie stuttered and Justin chuckled which revealed a little part of his white teeth and Valerie thought they could use his teeth for an advert for toothpaste.Justin left and went to work and Valerie went to take her bath deciding tha
