The moment the two girls leave Valentine wakes up to realize he needs to go. He sat in the car and the engine started.
When his car was going out from the front door he saw the two girls talking to the driver. The driver claimed his taxi has punctured now and he has to wait for someone to come to repair it.
"We will be denied permission to enter the hostel after 11 am." The blonde girl exclaimed in annoyance.
"What else can we even do now?" Stella comforted her.
Valentine asked his driver to take the car near them and he did as asked to.
"What is it, Stella?" He asked the question to Stella though his eyes were on the blonde girl.
Stella could not see him clearly in the dark
She has been trying to hide her real identity from a very long time and after so many struggles and all she had made sure nobody knows about her but here a man just casually called her by her real name. She looked at Stella to confirm she hasn't head and yes she hasn't as she was asleep."Angelica Kenneth is your real name, Right? Valentine asked but there's no way that is a question."Don't call me by that name. Who are you? And what the hell do you want?" Angelica asked her eyes furrowed.He pulled her to him by waist as she was pushing herself away from him."You'll wake your friend if you pushed any further", he told her and slowly his left hand pulled her right hand to his face to kiss the back of her hand. This is a formal greeting there in the west."Milady, I hope I hadn't annoyed the princess." He said politely with a wide smile on his face.Her heart was beating fast in her chest. She wanted to know the man's intention but he didn'
Car stopped and the driver remarked, "It is here""Let's talk inside", Valentine said smilingly and kissed the back of her hand. She wasn't resisting anymore. She was curious to know how he survived."Let's go", Valentine said to bring her back from her mind. He stepped outside and offered his hand to Angelica.Angelica stepped inside the restaurant with him. She diverted her sight away from Valentine to look around, "There ain't anyone here""I booked this hall room", Valentine said."I see"The waiter approached them and offered them a seat in the middle of the hall room. The table was well organized. She noticed how they have followed western royal ways of doing things. The way the tables were decorated and everything felt homelike.Valentine pulled out the chair offering her to seat and she sat there. It's been long since she has been treated like this. She left her home a long ago and she has adopted a lot to the northern way of
"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
