****PRINCE’S POV***Thank goodness Zoey is back, now she can get her Val away from me.“Zoey!”Val shouted and ran to Zoe, who stood rather confused at her over excitement to see her.“Awww you are so cute ,I can suck out your chubby cheeks”Val said and cupped Zoey’s face in her hand.Zoey looked at me in confusion.“What’s wrong with her?”She said blankly and pointed at Val who was sucking on her cheeks literally.I shrugged and laughed.“What did you do?”she asked again with her brows arched while trying to stop Val from sucking up her cheeks.“She had a lot of wine so that’s why she is abnormally excited”.“Why do I get this feeling that you just lied to me, frog Prince”.She said with eyes squinted.That smart little rat!“Maybe the question should be who invited her into the house and what did you say to her that made her leave her work? I was surprised to meet her at home, so what did you tell her?” Zoey chuckled nervously.“Emmmm.. I should better take care of her”.She too

I sat down on the bed drying my hair while reading the note. "I am sorry I slapped you, you are right , I was wrong for eating the cake that isn't mine, also I am sorry for harassing you and slapping you, I hope you forgive me. From Valerie. Just then I heard loud laughter from Zoey's room. I got up from the bed, still wearing my bathrobe. I walked out of my room , stopped at Zoey's and peeped through the door. "You should see your face, crying for Frog Prince's attention, you were even wearing his suit, don't drink too much next time, I was embarrassed for your sake, I never knew my brother can be soft to someone else, I think he really likes you,". Valerie's face was still blank with no emotional reaction to her statement. "I am leaving Zoey, don't prank people with a word as sensitive as bleeding next me", she scolded. "I promise I won't, it's the weekend, stay by my side for today please, the house is boring". "I wish I could".She kissed her on the forehead and started

"Nevermind,you can take it""Sir?"the lady asked, confused.For the first time in my life,I advised myself to be calm and not let my anger control my actions. I drew a deep breath with my eyes closed, the lady watched in awe.“Thanks”.I collected it from her and gave her a soft smile.“Anytime,sorry can I get a picture?”the lady requested.I nodded ,she came over to my side and took a selfie ,I had to squat a bit to get into the frame.“Thanks so much sir”.I smiled back then corner eyed Val, she was cleaning Daniel’s lips.**VAL'S POV**"Dan you are a clown, seriously".I laughed after cleaning the stain off his lips.“You are a good lady Val, and pretty too”.“Stop with the flattering please “.I blushed, with an aggressive eye roll but the moment I looked up, he was still staring and smiling at me.“Daniel enough with the staring already”I pouted and hit him tiny on the chest.He smirked and shook his head.“So tell me the truth, why didn't you come to work today?"I sipped my d

****VAL'S POV*** I stood by the window, peeking at him, he has been there for an hour now , I wonder what he is waiting for? Is he planning to sleep in the car? That is my boss, I think I was a bit hard on him with my choice of words, I can't stand arrogant and toxic men. Just then his car lights flashed and he drove off. I went back to the couch, my eyes closed, Daniel?How could he ask me that, it's not even his business. I am not his property, Daniel is a good friend, and …. nothing more. I opened my eyes. The giant teddy bear was the first thing that my gaze held. I got up and went to it, the gift bags surrounded it. I picked them up and checked the contents. Sanitary care items, hairs, and jewels, chocolates bars and cakes. I resisted the cakes and chocolate and kept them back, I had to give it out or he did think he was my lord after this gift. But it's a gift, my parents do tell me, a gift should be appreciated no matter how small, but this is how big actually and the

***DANIEL’S POV***I stared at my phone for hours, I can’t believe she didn’t even bother to check on me. I closed my eyes and cursed. “Go home now Daniel, she's with me”.His voice sounds so dark, you did think he would cut off my throat.I opened my eyes with my brow arched. That fool, all he knows is how to get a woman to bed,he can never be a better man for Val than myself.He can’t just come from anywhere and take her away from me,I was an idiot for not staying back that night. All I wanted was for her to be happy again, I want her to be with me. I wonder if she is angry that I ignored her calls too. Could it be that she is with him today? Did he sleep at her place yesternight?I tried not to think about her together with that spoiled brat, his charms will work on any woman and Valerie is not immune to those charms. If he eventually hurts her in the end, I won’t forgive myself for not protecting her.I got up from the couch and dialed her number repeatedly but she didn’t answer
