"Show me the bullet scar on your left leg"
He furrowed his eyes, "you're kidding me, here"
"Are you being shy?" She didn't moved her eyes away but stared right into his eyes.
"Milady, let's eat here for now and I will show you later." He forced a smile.
"Why?"
"Because I am saying"
"I am also saying."
"Milady, you're being rude to your host." Valentine said. He knows his wound hasn't aged yet. It's still new. If pressed against it will reopen.
The waiter brought the food and placed it on the table in front of them and there were others too to serve them. Her honey blonde eyes were still looking in his blue ones. She was persistent.
"Are you for real?" Valentine said, " there are people looking at us", he tried to cut her off.
"Then ask them to not to look"
Being accustomed to royal life where people even bathed you and served you every second. She was used to people eyes and she never felt uncomfortable. It
Valentine laughed, " I will take it as a complement"His phone rang and he saw the caller tune it was from 'Michael Iselgais'. He held his phone low enough that even Angelica can look at the caller name."Who is he?"" A friend of mine, excuse me", he replied and picked up the phone."Valentine, Where are ya pal? Let's meet for the last time before me and Stephen leave.", Said Mike on phone that only Valentine could hear."How is it with Stephen?", Valentine asked knowing that Stephen drank a lot yesterday out of sadness. Even though he was used to this after every times he break up but still too much drinking is alarming."Nevermind, the whining man, he promises he ain't getting into another relationship but God tell him he had promised the same thing a hundred times before too", Mike angered staring at Stephen, he was irked.On the background, a crying voice came from Stephen, " You guys never believe me. I will prove you two wrong.
Scientist George Milton calls Valentine."They are having a hard time to find her location but somehow they have managed to gain many crucial information which the Kenneth's family is trying to hide as soon as possible by power.", Scientist George said."It's alright ask them to stop their stop", Valentine casually said."Are yo
Valentine paused the game and looked at Stefon, " Reply to what Mike has said", Mike paused his game knowing he will be getting a better scene now. And he stared at Stefon too."Are you two ganging up against me?", Stefon asked looking helpless."Answer", Mike asked in a teasing tone.Stefon looked at Valentine to confirm if he meant that and he did." F###", Stefon admitted his defeat, " You two are killing me from that staring"" I dropped Stella and her friend to their hostel yesterday", said Valentine to which Stefon's eyes widened." I am close to her friend and I even have her number and ", Valentine paused and continued in a teasing tone, " I can ask her to give me Stella's
"How did you go home last night?", Anna asked. She held her head high looking down on Stella continuously. Anna is smaller in height than Stella but she was wearing high heels, and that made a huge difference in height making her look taller.Stella was a bit surprised to hear her ask that, " Lucia came to pick me up""You have learnt to lie now", questioned Anna."I see no reason to lie", Stella replied."There shouldn't be any either. My parents are sheltering you, you should be grateful and repay by being honest and faithful to us. So, tell me. Why were you in Valentine's car last night? What were you doing in his car?""Actually, the cab Lucia booked last night had a puncture and Mr. Valentine decided to help us. That's i
Chapter 21"I kid you not""When I was little, I went to the castle once on their only hier Angelica Kenneth's 8th birthday. She was so pretty and magnificent to look at. She looked really beautiful. I still cannot forget the colour of her hair and eyes."Mika leaned forward, " What was the colour of her hair and her eyes?". Lucia's goosebumps raised. There were so many at the royal ball that she doesn't remember seeing her but it shouldn't be surprising that she does."Surprisingly, I have an example to show you", Lucia stared back to look into Stella's eye if she knew something but the look on her face was innocent."You know what, she had the same hair colour as Lucia, bright long straight blonde hair. Even Princess Angeli
"Your grandmother is home today. Do not tell her you were hanging out with friends, you will only start a question answer series on yourself" said his father Henderson Crimson. Valentine nodded.His grandmother came and sat next to Valentine, Valentine bowed standing up from his seat to pay respect and sat when his grandmother asked him to."It's been so long since the last time I saw my grandson and looked at him. He is all skinny now.""It's not skinny, Grandmother.""What do you mean by that? Your cheeks have sunken in""I am just growing up", said Valentine."Look at the child not admitting at all. You should eat more.", His Grandmother scolded him, " Where were you? It's Sund
"Where is Joshim?", His grandmother asked his father. "I handed him some work in the office. He must be done by now." Valentine ate his food hearing the two talk. Now that his grandmother wasn't peering at his plate to see if he is eating vegetables or not. He skipped the green part on his plate and ate steak only. "Send Joshim with Valentine to accompany him." Though he didn't like the idea of Joshim accompanying him, he didn't question his grandmother's words because it's like asking for another series of questions and scoldings. It's rare to see her come to terms with him. "Valentine dear, Do you have someone you like?"His grandmother asked, unwilling to let the conversation end and to eat dinner peacefully. He
Lucia was noting down stuff from the blackboard before a staff member came in and said, " Is there someone called Lucia in this class?"Lucia stood from her seat to catch her attention, "Yes, it is me""Please, come to the principal office.", The staff said to Lucia and the word 'principal office' had drawn too much attention to her."I am coming", said Lucia though she wanted to ask why."Did you do something?", Mika whispered."I think , I haven't but who knows", Lucia whispered loud enough for only Mika and Leah to listen.Mika formed a fist in her hand as if to say 'stay strong'.It's like the most random thing that could hap
