Chapter 31~Valerie's POV=========On the following day, I woke up on time even before the alarm buzzed.I got dressed in a classy but elegant manner as I headed to the sitting room with my channel bag held in my hand.Then I heard my mother's voice, "You are up early?" She said.Chuckled I responded, "Yes Mom, I have to work you know,""Right, just be comfortable at work so it won't draw back your healing," She reminded."Of course Mom, I'm not a child, I'd be on my way now," I said to her."So.... How'd I look?" I inquired after agreeing to her shown care."Beautiful as always," She complimented."Thanks, Mama," I thanked her as I moved close and kissed her on her cheek."Alright ma, bye and take care of yourself," I said finally as I walked out of my apartment.Stepping outside I knew it would be a long day for me as I saw no taxi in place.So I took my phone out of my bag held it in my hands, and began clicking on the buttons, "I just hope there is an Uber close by," I said.Then

Chapter 33~Dante's POV========Immediately Valerie left the conference room, which left me seated all by myself as some cringe thoughts kicked in about taking my plans towards Valerie to the next level."I should switch up my acting now, enough with the perfect guy charade," I muttered to myself."It is starting to disgust me," I continued."But I won't lie, I enjoyed it, even with the sex, Valerie Is good," I admitted as my voice softly echoed.Suddenly while still in my thoughts, My phone rang melodically."Who could this be," I said to myself, as I checked the screen of my phone only for me to realize it was one of my many girlfriends."Perfect timing," I uttered.Then, I answered the call as I relaxed properly into my seat with the phone placed on my right ear, so I said, "Hello Christine,""Hey baby, how are you?" Christine spoke."Living, it's quite surprising you called," I uttered to her."It shouldn't be a surprise to you, I called at least we are dating," She reminded me.D

Chapter 35 ~ Dante's POV========The moment Valerie walked out of my office, I hurried and stood up from my seat with Christine on her feet. "Fuck," I said."Who was that?" Christine asked."Nothing that concerns you," I responded to her."Are you for real, Dante," She snapped."Is she one of those you are fucking?" She questioned with jealousy in her tone."Christine, mind your business," I uttered to her.As I threw some dollars to her, "Get yourself home,""Note, you are not my girlfriend nor in any relationship possible, we only satisfy one another for mere pleasure," I reminded her as I coordinated my composure.Goodness, why am I not happy after knowing she saw this, why do I feel disturbed and surprisingly scared of her absence from my life?"Do you love her?" Christine questioned.I wouldn't lie I wish I could answer that myself but all I know is I want to clip her wings of pride and make her remember never to mess with Dante Blaze."Please don't ask me unnecessary questions,

Chapter 37~ Valerie's POV==========A few minutes had gone by, while still seated on the couch, and Anna had left to do something in God knows where.My phone rang again, and checking it, I saw it was still Dante, heaven knows I don't want to respond to it.So I ignored it for the second time, then he persisted on the call the third time and with this, I got really furious and decided to answer the call.Clicking on the answer button and placing the phone on my left ear, I heard him say, "Hold on, Valerie, please, I know you never want to talk to me again and want our relationship to end, I know you don't want to hear anything I have to say, but please give me a chance to explain myself to you,"With a scoff, I responded, "A chance to explain yourself, so you can cook another lie to me, what do you take me for huh?""P-please, Valerie just give me a chance to explain myself to you, I promise it's not as it seems to you," He uttered, trying to clarify himself.I didn't want to give hi

Chapter 39 ~ Valerie's POV=========The car was still not started as we both sat inside with our backs relaxed, mine was due to the food I ate but talking about Dante I don't know his.Then I began staring at him and suddenly, his eyes caught up to mine."Is everything that psycho woman said true?" I spoke as my question caused him to look at me."Do you really believe that woman over me?" He responded with a question also."See Dante, I don't even know who to believe anymore, with all of these facts becoming visible what do you expect me to think, I'm not dumb you know," I said."I'm not saying you are dumb, but she is just an old lover, who is obsessed with me still, she calls me randomly and threatens me, not to have any other relationships except with her, what did you expect me to do, tell you about it and see you doubting me non stop, I only wish you knew how hard I have been trying to avoid contact with other women," Dante explained.Feeling bad, for judging him, I just rushed
