Justin rushed over to the hospital and when he got there, he quickly dashed to his mother's room to see her. She was looking paler than before and she was even breathing heavily as well. "Mother," Justin said with a croaked voice. "Just... In,"  his mother said with her voice trailing off with the last words. "What's going on?" Justin asked and she smiled a weak smile. "A mother who doesn't advice her child is worse than an infidel," she said and chuckled. Justin laughed too but nervously at her joke. "Come here," she said and Justin moved to hug her and that's when he noticed she was paler and shrunken in size. "Sit down," she said using her eyes to direct him to the chair close since her hands were too heavy and she was too weak. "Can you do me a favor?" His mother asked. "Yes..." Justin whispered. 

Chapter 43 Valerie couldn't believe what had transpired between her and Justin just now. She couldn't believe her eyes nor ears. She knew he was heartbroken but she never knew he'll take it out on her like that. She sighed heavily and closed her eyes to fall asleep. Since she couldn't sleep, she woke up quite early even before her alarm rang. She checked around the house but Justin was nowhere to be found, it was like he didn't return after he had stormed out the night before. Valerie decided to enter his room, she was just curious about how it looked, she had entered before but wasn't focused because of his bare chest that she had seen. The door was opened and she walked inside. It was a beautiful room painted in blue color. His curtains were cream, he had different designs and lots of lotions, body creams, perfumes, and roll-ons on his dressing table. And on his walls, he had a picture of them on the wedding day. He an

Justin had noticed a shadow at the door and he wondered who sat at the door listening to the conversation he was having with his nanny. He had said that he was returning downstairs so he could catch the person but the person had taken off the moment he said that by the time he opened the door, he had only seen her clothes and her hair as she ran down the stairs. He followed and when he had gotten down downstairs, he knew it was Valerie. He was about to approach her and ask when his father had come to talk about them having dinner together. "You knew?" Valerie stuttered. "Yes, I saw you run," Justin said as he drove. "I'm sorry for eavesdropping, I was looking for you and I stumbled across a maid who told me you'll be there, I didn't want to enter when you were inside talking to someone so I stayed behind and listened, I'm really sorry," Valerie said apologizing to him. "Never do that again," Justin s

Justin went to the room and opened the first letter to read what was inside. He recognized his mother's beautiful handwriting as he read through it.    "My dearest Justin, I hope you are reading this, I didn't know how to explain this to you in person, I mean you are just 12 years old, I can't possibly tell you that you just lost your sister, a sister whom you never got to meet. You always asked why I wore big clothes and never wore tight gowns that everyone else wore to parties but your father never wanted any other child except you. Not to talk of a female child, I was hiding it from him and you altogether. I named her Jessica, Jess for short. You always wanted a little sister and I wished you would come home to see her but she died even before you returned. You might never get to read this letter but I'm writing it to you because I can't tell you myself that your father starved her for three days before she gave up the ghost, I'm sorry for killing J

Valerie jumped with a start immediately she heard the turning of keys in the doorknob. Perhaps it is because of what happened earlier, although she had fallen asleep while waiting for Justin, she was still scared. She picked up the flower vase close to her, removed the flowers in it, and carried it aiming for the door if it is not Justin. The door opened revealing Justin, who was surprised to see Valerie standing with a vase when he put on the lights. "What are you doing?" Justin arched his brows. "Oh nothing," Valerie stuttered dropping the vase and returning it to its rightful place. "What about the flower?" Justin asked pointing at the flower she had removed. "Oh..." Valerie mouthed before putting that back as well. "What's going on?" Justin asked. "My ex just came to threaten me that he'll split out marriage but you have a lot on your
