Dante stared at Valerie's rejection note in his hands. But instead of crushing his spirits, a slow smile spread across his face.

*Perfect.*

This just gave him the perfect opportunity to see her face again. It was just the excuse he needed. And the more she distanced herself, the more he desired her. Hell. He might've already fallen in love with her. He just had to make her his woman. The mistake he did was not putting a baby in her when he had the opportunity. Next time, he'll make sure a baby enters.

He folded the note carefully and slipped it into his breast pocket, then reached for his phone.

"Jon," he said when his driver answered. "Bring the car around. We need to get somewhere immediately."

*********

Three hours later, Valerie was sliding into the passenger seat of Karen's car. She'd texted Steve earlier to let him know she wouldn't need him today - Karen had offered to pick her up, which was actually more convenient than waiting for her driver to escape the evening traffic.

    "What are you doing here!" Valerie blurted out in shock, her legs rooted to a spot.When he whirled around, her breath caught. He was wearing a two-piece beach attire, but that wasn't what caught her attention. It was his face and the skin hidden behind his clothes. He looked so tanned and handsome, like he belonged on the Island - his hair was mussled, his lips pinky moist, his eyes looking more of turquoise than green, his jawline sharper than the last time she'd saw him - it felt like she was seeing him again for the first time. When he faced her, his expression was filled with surprise before he quickly masked it with control."I'll have to call you back," he said into the phone, before ending it and putting it into his pocket. His captivating eyes studied her with an intensity that made her stomach flutter despite herself."Should've figured Dante would invite you," he said flatly."Dante?" Valerie's eyebrows shot up, forcing herself to focus. "Are you two that close?" Then she

    *Next weekend*Valerie stood in her walk-in closet, surveying the three suitcases Sophia and Karen had insisted she pack."This is ridiculous," she muttered to herself, checking her watch. "It's three days, not three months."The elevator chimed just then, and she heard her friends walked in. She could hear their voices, mixed with a deeper male voice she recognized as Joe's."Val!" Karen called out. "We're here and ready to move!"Valerie grabbed her handbag and rolled her eyes, she was only going on this trip because of them, because personally, she would've preferred to stay home and recuperate from the weeks stress. These whole activity will definitely take a toll on her body by next week.She emerged from her bedroom to find Karen and Sophia chatting excitedly. Karen was dressed in a flowing sundress, while Sophia wore a floral jumpsuit. They both had oversized sunglasses perched on their hats and carried matching weekend bags.Joe stood near the elevator, looking handsome in d

    Karen dropped Valerie at her company before driving down to hers. As she walked through the lobby to her office, she mentally prepared her speech about sexual harassment. She needed to make a statement. To show these horny bastards that her company would not be used as a ground for harassing women. She was just settling into her office when Melissa knocked and entered."Good morning, Ms. Calder. The staff are assembled in the large conference room for the mandatory meeting you requested."Valerie nodded, straightening her blazer. "Thank you, Melissa. Let's get this over with."The conference room was packed when she arrived. Every department was represented - from junior staff to senior management. The room buzzed with whispers as employees tried to figure out the reason for the sudden mandatory meeting.Valerie took her place at the head of the table, her presence immediately commanding silence and order."Is everyone here?" she asked in a clear voice."Yes, ma'am!" Everyone chorus

    At 1:30 AM, Valerie looked at her exhausted friends and made a decision. Sophia had been frantically pacing for hours, her eyes weak, her hands trembling every time a doctor passed by. Karen, despite her own emotional turmoil from the Noah situation, had been a pillar of strength, but even she was beginning to show signs of fatigue."Girls," Valerie said softly, standing up from the now uncomfortable bench. "We need to go home and get some sleep.""No," Sophia said immediately, shaking her head. "I can't leave him. What if something happens during the night? What if he wakes up and I'm not here?""Soph, the surgery went well. The nurse said he's stable and will likely sleep through the night with the medication they've given him. You'll be no good to him if you collapse from exhaustion.""She's right," Karen added gently. "Besides, we can be back first thing in the morning. The hospital has your number if anything changes."Sophia looked torn, glancing toward the surgical wing doors a

    Valerie's heart raced as Karen drove them through the streets of New York, towards White Angels Hospital. Joe was a new staff, but very loyal and protective of his detail. She couldn't let him die, not when be meant so much to her friend. The thought of losing him was too hard to bear."Faster, Karen," she urged, gripping the dashboard."I'm going as fast as I can without getting us killed," Karen replied, her eyes focused on the road. "Val, he's going to be okay. Joe looks strong."Does he? Valerie realized she knew nothing of her former head of security, except that he'd served in the Army before retiring due to an injury. She hadn't even cared to ask about his family, if he had any. Gosh... the whole of today just proved how badly she was at being a Boss. First was Irene - her own staff who she hadn't even recognized, and now Joe.Twenty-three minutes later, they pulled to a halt outside the hospital's emergency entrance. Valerie was out before the engine fully stopped, rushing thr
