AARON'S POVWhile Valencia was sleeping, I worked through my phone and didn't move or shift us to the bedroom, so I didn't disturb her.‘‘No! Tell them to wait or they can leave. I'm not going to attend any meeting today!’’ I said in a low tone, and caressed her head.‘‘But Boss, it's a big deal! We can't just let it go like this!!’’ My manager says on the call, his voice is a mix of panic and doubt.‘‘I'm busy right now! I can't join them.’’ I said, pulling Valencia in the correct position.‘‘What are you doing that you're not going to attend a fifty million dollars deal!? What is more important to you? Your work or a woman?’’ He said in annoyance.Richard!! I can fire you right now if you say ‘‘any word to her!! And I don't give a fúck about that meeting, tell them to leave. My woman is more important than anything!’’ I snapped, and felt Valencia's body jolted.She moved her hands and legs in sleep, like she's struggling against something. Her mouth opened but no words came out, she

VALENCIA'S POVWe decided to stay the night at Aaron's beach house. Our home. After our conversation at the beach, we came inside the house to freshen up and have dinner.Actually I wanted to freshen up, because I have a habit to wash up before sleeping and I also wash up in the morning. I was about to enter the washroom, when the earpiece buzzed in my ears.‘‘Romeo!’’ I said, clicking on the earpiece.‘‘Where are you? Sweetheart!’’ His worried voice came from the other side.‘‘I'm at the beach house, and I'm staying here tonight.’’ I informed him, walking in the washroom and closed the door behind me.‘‘But why are you staying with him!? He doesn't look normal to me! He looks at you like…’’ He said and stopped before completing his words.‘‘How does he look at me?’’ I asked, stripping off my clothes.‘"He looks at you like you're his favorite meal and ready to devour you.’’ Romeo said, with clear annoyance in his tone.‘‘Mia Bella!!’’ Aaron's voice came from the bedroom before I coul

VALENCIA'S POV I woke to the buzzing in my ears, and I tried to raise my hand to touch the earpiece but something— someone was holding my hand.I waited for my mind to go on alert mode but it never happened, it never happened before. Whenever something or someone was around me without my knowledge, my mind went on a full blown alert mode.My eyes snapped open, looking at the unfamiliar ceiling and room was enough to feel the last feeling I ever wanted to feel. Fear of death.When I turned to my side and saw the familiar, very familiar face right beside my bed. A sigh of relief left my lips. It's not like I'm afraid to die but I'm afraid to die before I complete my goal.Slowly all the yesterday's memories flashed in my mind, reminding me of all the events one by one. My grandfather slapping me, Aaron taking me away from Romeo, him cooking breakfast for me, how gently he handles my nightmare and our little play on the beach and in the kitchen and after dinner I clearly refused his off

VALENCIA'S POV Romeo opened the door and a waiter was there smiling at him. ‘‘Sir, your breakfast.’’ He said, slide the trolley of food towards him. ‘‘Hmm, thank you…and don't knock too loud next time.’’ Romeo said in a cold tone and closed the door on the waiter's face. ‘‘Breakfast for you baby!’’ He turned towards me and said in a completely different tone, in a sweet tone. I nodded and walked towards the couch as he put the breakfast on the table. I sat on the couch and started to have breakfast while he searched for something. He came behind me with a hair brush, hair solution, and some accessories. ‘‘I'll do your hair.’’ He said, taking some hair solution in his palms as I nodded, eating my sandwich and drinking orange juice. He carefully detangled the knots in my hair and brushed my hair. ‘‘You should take care of your hair. You always do a messy bun and leave for work.’’ He scolded me, and I just rolled my eyes. He made two perfect braids to my both sides of the face,

AARON'S POVAfter my disastrous morning, my whole day was destined to be ruined. I went to my office in a foiled mood, as I continued working grumpily.I checked my phone from time to time, but there's no messages or calls from her. She doesn't care about me! She only cares about her work!I sighed, walking towards the meeting room. The morning dream was nowhere going out of my mind, no matter how much I tried to forget about that but it stays in my mind like glued.That was the most terrible nightmare I have ever had!! And I don't want to see anything like that ever again!‘‘Good morning! sir.’’ My employees greeted me as I entered the room, and I nodded. It's not like me to not greet them back but my morning was not great, so was my mood.‘‘Start your presentations.’’ I said, my assistant, Layla Perez, called employees to show their presentation about the new project, one by one.This project is the reason behind every problem in my life. Ever since I have got this project, problems
