Haunter and Valerie were about to exit the main gate when a male shadow suddenly appeared behind them. Valerie and Haunter froze, her heart was beating really fast as she stared at the familiar shadow that continued moving forward in a slow but steady manner. She pulled slowly turned back to see Martin standing behind them and he didn't look pleased. Valerie gripped on Haunter's hand. She knew she promised herself not to look scared in front of this man but she couldn't help it because she was in the wrong. Her family life was also at stake as she remembered the deal she made with him in the first place. What was wrong with her? Why did she ever think of escaping with Haunter in the first place, even with Martin's unborn child in her stomach. Martin's eyes slowly traveled to the two fingers intertwined with each other and his blood boiled even more. "What do the both of you think you're doing?" He asked his first question. Valerie stared at Haunter and he suddenly scoffed. "We wer
It was blinking dark and white, dark and whole and another dark and white before Valerie's eyes slowly opened. Someone was standing in front of her but she couldn't see the person's face clearly because it appeared blur."You're awake, let me inform boss" a woman dressed as a doctor walked out of the room and that was when Valerie's eyes cleared.She figured she was in the clinic just the way she figured out what happened yesterday. She wanted to escape the clan with Haunter and Martin killed him. Haunter is dead, more tears begin pouring from her eyes.The door opened and Martin stepped in with the doctor. Seeing him just made her hate for him intensify."You say the baby is fine?" Martin asked and the doctor nodded then he walked over to sit on the edge of the bed Valerie was laying."How are you feeling?" He tried bringing his hands to touch her face but she slapped it off and glared hard at him.Martin's face darkened at her behavior and he glared at her. "You committed an offense
Lucia looked shocked when she saw Sage stabbing the pillow covered with a blanket like a mad woman. She knew it, the look on Sage's face yesterday made Lucia suspect that she would come for Valerie tonight so she decided to play a trick by setting a pillow figure on Valerie's bed and she wasn't wrong.She slowly stood up from bed and turned on the light. Sage stopped what she was doing to look back, she saw Lucia staring at her then she stared at bed to see she had been stabbing her pillow all these while."Where's Valerie?" She asked with widened eyes."Shouldn't I ask you that?" Lucia asked back with a type of look."Bring Valerie from where she's hiding or I'll kill you instead" Sage faced Lucia with the knife.Lucia didn't look afraid, she just tsk and shook her head. "Now I know you are a very crazy and psychotic person. How can you barge in here to kill someone then you're threatening to kill me too? You really need help" Lucia shook her head again."Valerie deserves to die, it'
"Yes, my grandson Martin... Martin told me you're his wife and you're pregnant and I should bring you here" the old woman looked innocent as she explained to Valerie."Martin?" Valerie narrowed her eyes again. She suddenly gasped as realization came to her."Martin? You're Martin's grandma?" She widened her eyes. The thing she couldn't believe is that Martin had a grandma. He has a family so how is he always comfortable in doing bad to others?The old woman looked confused and innocent. "How come you don't know, he didn't tell you? But you're married" she wondered."Like are you his real grandma or do you happen to just take care of him when he was little because I don't know anything" Valerie shook her head.The old woman sighed and sat on the bed. "You know, when Martin brought you home and became pregnant, I really thought he had changed but he didn't even tell you anything about himself because he's still so cold" she sighed with the thought that she believed he was happily marrie
Days passed by like breeze and Valerie was having a peaceful time staying with Grandma Riri who treated her well with good foods, good stories and outing. Currently Valerie was helping the old woman pluck some flowers in the garden."So you stay here alone with this maids, does Martin even come to visit you sometimes?" She asked as she took a flower from garden and scent it. "Smells nice, what type of flowers are these?" She asked afterwards."This is called Jasmine, this red one is called Susan and this yellow one is called black eyed Susan" the old woman used her hands to point the flowers as she replied Valerie before going back to the question about Martin. "You know Martin don't really come here every time, he has a big company at Italy and he's always there for some work" she replied and Valerie narrowed her eyes.Italy and work? He goes there to work but has a dark clan here in Mexico so was he also a Mafia there? How come Haunter has told her nothing about it."But he is comin
Are you okay?" The husky voice of the old woman brought her back to earth. She wanted to turn to her side to reply to the old woman but the picture frame of a beautiful young woman suddenly caught her attention.Looking closely at the frame, Valerie found the woman looking a bit familiar. It looks like she has seen the face before and suddenly the image of a woman sitting and listening to her and her late brother singing suddenly came back to her head. When their father died, Diana became quite a mess of herself. Sometimes she would stay indoors, crying and looking out of the window, thinking of her husband. She loved him so much and didn’t expect to lose him in a car accident.Valerie could still remember how Bennett says he had always wanted to be a singer, he would sit outside and sing the song he had managed to compose for people to hear why Valerie would always support him by carrying a just for people to drop any amount of money they think they can afford but the world was too h
Back at Grandma Riri's place, so many delicious foods were arranged on the table. "Valerie dear, do you want to eat now? If you're hungry then don't wait for Martin, eat for the sake of the baby, it's our priority to make sure the baby is safe" she turned to face Valerie who was just looking at the maids who were serious in doing their things.Valerie immediately shook her head. "Let's just wait for Martin, when will he be back? It's going to eleven" she said while looking at the time then it would occured to her that she has been asking for Martin. It was not like she missed him, maybe she just wanted to see his reaction when he saw the old woman.Suddenly, she began hearing some noise like someone was greeting someone. The noise was coming from the maids who seemed to be greeting Martin that just entered."Good evening Mr Martin!" They greeted and as usual Martin ignored them till he got in. Finally Valerie saw Martin again after what seemed like years, she didn't know why her hear
"I'm really fine Grandma, I'll be going to sleep in my room" she replied silently and decided to walk past them but Martin's deep voice stopped her. "Have your sit too" Mason didn't bother sparing her a glance as he said that, instead he was trying to cut a piece of meat with his cutleries.Valerie looked at him with so much anger at first before folding her arms under her breast. "You can't force me to eat when I'm not hungry!" She protested and that was when Martin finally gave her a look."My child is growing inside your damn womb and I'm pretty sure you don't want me to repeat what I would do if anything happens' ' he whispered to her and she folded her first really tight before sitting with them."You made the right choice sweet Valerie, the food is incredibly delicious. Try the pork beef" Grandma Riri immediately put some food on Valerie's plate.Valerie stared at for a while before stylishly peeking at Martin who was looking at her, she put the pork in her mouth and angrily.
