Scott's POV The next morning was nothing like yesterday I could tell she was still angry with me, after she left me alone at the beach last night I had some alone time to do some thinking and I came up with a plan It's not my best one so far but it's my last resort, since fighting with her last night got me nowhere I figured I might as well try buttering her up into agreeing to staying with me for one year, it's a long shot but you can't blame a man for trying, I'll do anything to keep my end of the deal with Walter even if it means winning Valarie over By that I mean making her fall in love with me, I'm not a man of games but this time around I'll play them to get what I want You haven't touched your food I said observing her as she played with the fork on her hand, it was 8:45 am and we both sat outside the beach restaurant having breakfast with the morning breeze ruffling our hair I'm not hungry she said flatly looking away Grandma asked for pictures and we still haven't tak

Valarie's POV It was night when we got back to the cabin, I had fallen asleep and I didn't even know how I got to the bed, my whole body was tired I just closed my eyes as Scott covered me with the sheets without asking any questions Minutes later I turned and found the bed empty, when I opened my eyes I saw him phasing around the room he was talking to someone over the phone, I didn't want to disturb him so I kept quiet, I was about to close my eyes and head back to sleep when his next words took the life out of me“ Andrew I have no choice but to make her fall in love with me, you know very well why I'm doing this if she divorces everything is over and I cannot let that happen I'll do anything to get what I want even if it means seducing her ” I heard him say with his back turned Silent tears left my eyes, tears of anger, how could he? so this whole time everything to him was just a game, I let him stay by my side, I let myself be vulnerable in front of him and he just betrays me
