Sweet Surrender

Episode 1"Over my dead body!" Valentine yelled above the loud music coming from the spacious living room. As she stomped on the helpless stairs heavily, her long nightwear seemed to beg for mercy as well as it swept the bare floor.Tony was seated in his favorite rollercoaster chair as he played his life game. "Not again! What's it this time!" He yelled naughtily."Will you turn off that trash right now!" Valentine yelled back at the teenager, her eyes were blazing with fury. Tony glared at his mother, and noticing how furious and serious she appeared to be, he grabbed the remote control and turned down the volume of the home stereo. He knew he had to do that and keep his stubbornness aside, else he would risk getting a flipflop thrown at his head. "Can you sit down, Valentine? You look like a ghost!"Valentine cursed under her breath, and raked through her hair with her long nails. "He's divorcing me! He's getting another woman. I can't believe he could do this to me." The you

Episode 3The sweet friendship and love started years ago during their college days, and they hadn't planned on having a baby so early but fate had something else for them. Valentine took in when she was just fifteen, and that was how Tony came into the picture. Few years after his arrival, her aggravated parents insisted that she got married to Ryan. And back then, even if Ryan had showed her all the love he could, Valentine always thought that there was something special missing. Something she couldn't place her fingers on.She'd to suffer a great deal even though Ryan was born into a great wealth. She worked her butts off just to prove to everyone that she didn't get pregnant just to get married to a rich guy. She made her own little money, earned her respect.And now, she couldn't believe Ryan could actually doubt his paternity to Tony."How could you ask me that! You know he's your son! He looks just like you!" Valentine cried.Ryan gave a short mocking laughter and shrug

05 Tony walked into the spacious living room, dumped his ball at the usual spot before dropping himself into a couch. Valentina stood by the door, staring at him. She wondered if she'd raised him well, and if she'd been a good mother. She sighed deeply, shook her head slowly. Her son was spoilt...and there was barely nothing she could do about it. "Are you going to stand there all day, or tell me what I have to know?" Tony suddenly turned and threw the words across. "Your father and I are getting separated, Tony." Valentina mumbled as though it were news to the boy. Tony scoffed, and that hatred filled look that always frightened Valentina danced across his forehead. "Tell me what I don't know, Valentina. Did you even ever love my Dad? Did you cheat on him?" Valentina's eyes widened with tears. As much as she wanted to pull the brat by the ears, and spank him hard, she maintained her cool. She shook her head, walking away from the door. "I loved him, and I never cheated on h

07Valentina stared on, shocked to her bone marrow. She slowly stood up, watched them as they got closer. Scared of what her friend might do next, Paula left her chair, grabbed Valentina by the arm. "Hey. Relax. We're in the public. Don't you make a scene." Valentina turned to glare at her friend, yanked her arm away from her. "I'm not going to make a scene." Her reply came through clenched teeth, and slowly, she turned back to stare at the couple. *Ryan smiled triumphantly, glad that he got the attention he wanted. He placed his arm around Marina, guarded her towards the shore. Marina smiled at the attention, but the smile on her face disappeared as soon as she saw Valentina walking towards them. She gasped, and stared up Ryan. "Are you smiling right now? It's Valentina!" She whispered furiously."Exactly what I wanted." Ryan replied, and held her even more tight.
