Ethan’s P.O.VI realized that Nathan was leaving the room, I took some steps away from the doorway, Nathan’s eyes were red with tears and swollen underneath, he hadn’t gotten enough sleep and yet he was crying so much.I felt sorry for him… seeing a child try so hard like that, reminded me of myself, except that their family seemed more messed up than I imagined.“Valentina…” He choked and unintentionally I pulled him into a hug, after all, he was just a kid but sounded mature for his age. “…She wouldn’t listen to me.”“She is just shocked and she needs time.” I encouraged him, and as I patted his head, he hugged me and cried even more. “You have to give her time, all these are still very new to her and for her, and she is probably trying to develop a coping mechanism, please understand.”“S-She doesn’t want to see me…” He lamented, wiping his eyes with the ends of his sleeves. “…She told me to leave.”“You can always come back later,” He suddenly grabbed my shoulders even though I wa

Valentina’s P.O.VI stared at my phone on the table close to me but it was impossible to reach for it, I sighed in defeat realizing that I needed someone to assist me. I tried to reach for the patient call bell but I was still unable to move my hands in the direction.I heaved another heavy sigh as I lay in wait for someone to come for me.Gordon Ransey…It continued to ring in my head…That was the name of the man, Ron had called my father. I just couldn’t forget his name and the kind of person he was described to be. If he was such a notorious serial rapist and murderer, then the search engines might have some answers to all the questions in my head. I wanted to know if Ron wasn’t just saying things to get to me. The door opened and my heart lifted slightly because I thought it was the nurse, but the hope that ignited in my chest suddenly went out when my eyes met with Ethan’s stone-cold green eyes. Ethan was still around? Why the hell was he even here in the first place?“Va

Valentina’s P.O.VEthan likes me…. I stared hard at his sleeping form on the couch; I noticed he had changed his clothes, even though he hadn’t gone home, did he probably call Junis to bring him some clothes? If he changed his clothes in the hospital, he must have used the public bathroom, a rich kid like him, born with all the luxury in the world.How could he be so comfortable with the inconvenience? Ethan said he likes me… That was impossible and I knew that much, this was the same Ethan who hated me so much, he usually stopped at nothing to make sure that I cried at least once I crossed his path.Ethan said he likes me… I didn’t believe him but if he didn’t like me why would he distress himself for my sake, he had done nothing but take care of me, and I felt guilty because I had treated him badly during those few days he had been here.I don’t know how I feel about this piece of information, it’s true that I feel a bit more comfortable with him than before, and that is exactly w

Travis P.O.VA small smile crept on my face as I strolled out of the hospital building, I knew Ethan wouldn’t be coming here until tomorrow, and if he unfortunately met with his father at home then he might not come back here in a few days.Especially after the message that I sent to Mr. Lords.Anyway, my plans would be working to perfection, Poor Valentina, she might not sleep so well tonight, she did a good job trying to appear as if she wasn’t affected by my information but I know what she felt. I needed to save her before she ended up falling in love with him, Ethan is nothing but her destruction, and she should make sure to stay away from him especially when the Guillotine is giving her another chance at life.Ethan was never destined to have Valentina, but he was a greedy brat who would stop at nothing to make sure he had her.A smirk cracked my face as I wondered what he would choose from the list of options that would be given to him.“Travis,” I heard the worried voice tha

Nathan’s P.O.V“Alright, thank you,” I answered the phone as I watched one of the nurses help Valentina climb down the last sets of stairs, I slipped my phone into my pocket as I rushed towards them, I had already gotten our stuff into the taxi. “Valentina, are you sure about this?” out of concern I asked when I noticed just how painful it is for her to walk. “Yes.” She answered firmly, using a blunt smile to cover up the pain she was probably feeling, the doctor had said there was no big deal with her discharge, however, they would advise she stayed for a few more days in the hospital so that she could receive adequate attention.“This is just too sudden.” I tried to convince her and she shook her head again as we head towards the taxi. “You still can’t walk properly.” I said pointedly.“I can manage.” She repeated with a faint smile, for one I was very happy she decided to call me after two weeks and she apologized for being too harsh on me. She then suddenly, requested I co
