Valerie's POV ~~~~~I should have known something was wrong the moment I heard my best friend’s ringtone in my husband’s house.I'm barely able to hold my phone between both hands, struggling to hang up as the ringing persists. It stops, my heart hooking in my throat the next second.I just gave birth minutes ago… or at least I think I did. I am lying on a bed in a well-furnished room somewhere in Draven's Bel Air mansion.Sound, smell — all my five senses are overwhelmed. Still, I manage to sit through the pain, much to the shock and panic of the doctors.“Mrs Mourningale,” one of them quickly rushes to my side, attempting to grab my shoulder. “You can't move around like that. We still need to check—”“Where's my baby?” I ask flatly, staring into his nervous blue eyes. “My husband was in this room. I heard him come in and then my… my baby's cries…”My throat tightens like there’s glass struggling to slide down. I place a hand on it, lips trembling. “Just get me Draven and my baby. I

[Warning: R18 Scene ahead.]Valerie's POV ~~~~~~“If you were planning to take advantage of me…” I tilt my head slightly. “I just want to say you’re doing a terrible job right now.”I hold back a laugh when I notice the way his arm turns rigid in my grip. He stays silent for quite a while. Enough to make my mind go wild with thoughts I didn't know I was capable of having.God, his suit was so tight, I bet he packs a lot of muscle underneath. And I'll love more than anything to see them right now.“Again…” he clears his throat. “You're intoxicated and don't know what you're talking about.”“I know exactly what I'm talking about.” I refuse to let go, my fingers only digging harder. “What's wrong? You don't… find me attractive?”The air feels heavier before the words fully land. He turns to face me fully, his shadow looming over me in a way that makes me feel equal parts safe and terrified.I notice the way those golden orbs glow even brighter than the room's lighting — or maybe that's

Valerie's POV ~~~~~A WEEK LATERHeads turn the second I step into Mourningale International.Not out of respect—out of curiosity.When I take the elevator to the Executive floor, there are two ladies behind me. Both are silent when I walk in. Now they're whispering, one of them even saying my name.I close my eyes, waiting patiently for the elevator's ding.Once it comes, I waltz out without looking back. I head straight for my office—or rather, my former office. During the weekend I'd gotten an email. I’ve been demoted from Draven’s Executive Assistant.I'm only here to pack my shit and take it to my new post as HR support.Sure enough, this floor isn't quiet either. People cut me a plethora of looks. Some pitiful. Others mocking. Most are disdainful, eyeing me from head to toes like I'm trash.“I heard she and the COO finally got a divorce.” A man mutters to his female colleague as I stride past them.She chuckles. “You say ‘finally’ like you've been waiting for it to happen.”“Hm

Valerie's POV ~~~~~~I've probably mumbled ‘shit’ a billion times while the man in a black suit leads me to Malachi's office.One of the only places in this entire building I've never been to.My fingers tighten into fists as I will myself to walk faster behind the man ahead.I don't even remember handing over my box. Somewhere between the elevator and this hallway, it vanished into a receptionist's hands.Are my suspicions right? Is the CEO the mysterious man I slept with so carelessly that night? Does he know that too, and does he plan to get rid of me?Fuck.“Here we are, Miss Sinclair.” I pull to a stop, blinking focus back to my sight. The man ahead of me is now standing before a door at the very end of the Executive floor.There aren't many people here, but the few I've walked past give me looks that make this all the more nerve-wracking.“T-Thanks,” I smile back at the man. “Sorry, did Mr Mourningale give any details on why he wants to see me?”The man chuckles under his brea
