Writer's P.O.V "How is the book ending?" Maurice my assistant asked me, "I thought you were working on it the previous night." "Oh yes, but I didn't like the ending." I answered her and her eyes fell towards the laptop screen, she was too strict with me, even though I didn't sleep all night while writing this ending she might still criticize me for being a shitty writer. "I like this." A small smile reached her lips. "I never liked the fact that Valentina would die at the ending, you would never reach best seller with that mentality." I was never trying to be best seller anyways, but since she approves of this ending, I know that the book is done. I will miss talking to Ethan, and also my number one fan, Valentina, even as she died she called my book, beautiful and a masterpiece. It was different from the way the toxic web readers did. But how did the book end again..."You're going to get late for your interview." Melissa yelled at Valentina, just because Valentina was trying t
Valentina’s P.O.V “Who took my money?!” I heard Ron, my stepfather’s voice from downstairs, I was in front of the vanity table, brushing my dark hair, my morning just barely started and it was already terrible. “I had four hundred in this wallet last night and I can’t find it, who the hell stole my money?” “I didn’t do it, Dad,” I heard Norah, my half-sister deny and I rolled my eyes, as the word “not again” echoed in my mind. “Me neither.” Nathan, her twin brother added and the next thing I heard was Ron’s thunderous footsteps running up the stairs, I gasped as I ran across the room to turn the locks on my door. Since both of his children had denied taking his money, that makes me the culprit, I heard a loud bang on the door and I jolted in fear almost falling. “Valentina!” He barked as he continued to bang on the door. “Open this door, right this instant!” My heavy feet dragged themselves towards my piggy bank, the one on the right corner of my room, I needed to hide my money e
Valentine’s Day“Did I pass the application review?” I asked into the phone, a small smile appearing on my face, I was so confident and happy, ready to rejoice.“Ms. Valentina Chandler, we thank you for applying to our company, we genuinely appreciate your effort and interest, however, we regret to inform you that we are unable to proceed with your application.” I felt my heart sink, that wasn’t the information I was hoping to hear. “We appreciate your interest and cooperation, and we look forward to seeing you sometime in the future.”“W-W-Wait!” I yelled before Vena could disconnect my call “Wait… Why am I being refused? You assured me that I met all your requirements and I would be allowed to work.”“Um…Yes, I did say that, but please forgive me for the misinformation, however, you are right to the point but the main reason why we refused your application is that our company prefers candidates who are at least twenty-one years of age.”“Oh…” My shoulders slumped down in disappointm
Valentina’s P.O.V I could still feel the heat around my cheeks, just some seconds ago, Travis was holding me so close to himself and he looked like he wanted to say something as well. I brushed my hair backward with my fingers, and I couldn’t help but wonder what he wanted to say.If only Ethan wasn’t Travis's best friend, I think I could be bold enough to get close to him, since he is the only person in this whole school who doesn’t bully me. “Valentina!” I heard that very familiar but annoying voice from behind me and I barely controlled the urge to roll my eyes. Reaching my sides, Lucille draped her arm on my shoulder, and almost immediately, I found myself surrounded by her gang, she grimaced at me. “Oh God, you stink.”“You always stink, do you even wash your hair?” Amanda asked curiously, pulling on some strands of my hair, and she covered her nose with her palms.“Even if she does, I doubt her cheap perfumes and shampoo could wash away the stench of poverty.” Lucille joked p
Valentina’s P.O.V“G-Good Mo-Morning.” One of us needed to start the conversation, I guess, I was trembling from both the fear of Ethan and the pain in my head. “I-I am sorry for bumping into you, I didn’t see you, and please can you remove your feet from my phone?”“Good morning?” His voice rang out musically as he stood confidently like he was a god or something, he was similar to a portrait sculpted to perfection, his voice, his face, his hair, every single thing about him oozed with elegance and arrogance.Everything about him was perfect, except for his rotten attitude, he pressed harder on my phone and I heard another sharp snap, I gasped as I stared back at his feet in horror.“Please stop!” I cried out. “At this rate, you are going to break my phone.”“What do you mean? It was already broken.” He murmured stepping harder into it, I could still hear the breaking of the glass that was probably my phone screen. “Stepping so hard on it will make you break it even more,” I explain
Valentina’s P.O.VI have a brain-splitting headache, and I have felt bile rise in my throat for the third time today. I have an interview this afternoon, and I can’t afford to be sick. I was also unable to shut out the pain like I always do, it was difficult trying to concentrate in class as the words just passed through my ears.Yes, that’s right, for three days in a row I have been unable to have a decent meal, and I have been working overtime in the restaurants too; not to mention how Ron had beat me up the previous day.My body is shutting down and I know it.“Valentina,” Mr. Pitt’s voice reverberated within the walls of my ears, and I returned from oblivion. “Can you please read the next paragraph?”Shit!I blinked back as my eyes stared down at the letters jumbled up in my textbook, I couldn’t see clearly, the words were all blurred out.“Miss Chandler?” Mr. Pitt’s voice came back again, this time more strictly and I trembled in my seat, I felt bile rise to my throat and I swall
Valentina’s P.O.V“Woah! This house is so freaking big.” I muttered to myself as I stared around the huge living room, it was like a house out of a movie scene, as soon as the closing bell rang, I quickly changed out of my clothes and I came here immediately.I hope I get the job.“Good day,” My head snapped in the direction of the voice and I got up immediately to greet the man dressed in a neatly tailored tuxedo standing in front of me. He simply nodded and the security men behind me left us alone.“You are Ms. Valentina, right?” “G-Good Afternoon,” I stuttered. “Y-Yes, I am Valentina.”“I’m glad you were able to make it, you are a bit ahead of time, it is quite impressive.” A small blush reached my face at his compliment. “Unfortunately, Mr. Israel is yet to come back from work, however, he requests you wait for him in his study.”He turned on his heels and began to walk away, he didn’t even care if I was coming with him or not, I hurried after him and followed him across the l
Ethan’s P.O.V“Hey Travis,” I called as soon as I noticed Travis stepping into the basketball court that was within the school sports ground, he had been missing all afternoon. I was worried about him; we usually stick together all day but all of a sudden Travis was nowhere to be found. “Where the hell were you? I looked all over the place.”My eyes narrowed at him and he simply shrugged as he went after the ball that I previously dropped, and he went in the direction of the net, since the game wasn’t so serious yet, we could play a friendly match.“You didn’t look all over the place.” He stated calmly as he bounced the ball against the ground. “Did you check the clinic?”My eyes widened in realization, he didn’t actually… did he?“Don’t tell me you stayed with that weirdo girl all afternoon.” I went after him and he dribbled me, taking the ball far away from my reach and shooting it into the net.That was a one-win for him and a loss for me.He ignored my question and I couldn’t help
