Love Behind the Veiled Terror 15
Valerie was working on corrections to an important contract clause when she saw from the corner of her eye that Manuel was approaching her.“Busy, Valerie?” the man greeted casually.Valerie raised her head and sighed inwardly. Even though she had seen Manuel countless times, she still gasped as she looked directly into those beautiful blue eyes. This man was too handsome and dangerous, a creature like this should not be allowed to roam around and prey on defenseless girls.“I do my job as usual.” Valerie frowned when she realized that Manuel seemed to want to ask something. “Is there anything I can help?” she asked.Manuel nodded his head. “Every time I see you, I always think you are very similar to someone, but I have not been able to find who you look like.”“Maybe just an ordinary resemblance. It's said that all over the world we have nine twins with the same faces.” Valerie smiled, observing Manuel who looked very curious.Manuel took a deep breath. “That is right, but still it

It was almost seven in the evening when Valerie placed the gold bracelet with crystal embellishments on her wrist. The bracelet is in her jewelry box and Valerie can't remember when she bought it. The bracelet was just there, until Valerie thought it was one of the things her late mother had kept by her father.Valerie looked at herself in the mirror and took a deep breath. She suddenly felt very nervous. Jose's aura was able to make her so nervous and embarrassed, even just imagining it.Jose is a dangerous man, of course; Valerie frowned, realizing that the man was working as a bodyguard for Mr. James who had many enemies. Of course Jose's job is also dangerous. He must be good at fighting, Valerie concluded, remembering Jose's cruel attitude when he threatened the gang of thugs who disturbed Valerie at that time.If only at that time the leader of the gang and all of its members had decided to challenge, maybe Jose would have been able to face them all by himself.The man was not a

“Why do not you want to tell me about your date?”Charlotte keeps trying to persuade Valerie to tell her date with Jose last night. However, Valerie refused to make a voice. The thought of Jose's kissing and then the man's pretentious claim afterward bothers her immensely. She wanted to forget all that, really.Last night, however, she slept with a hot body temperature every time she thought of Jose's kiss. How that man crushed her lips, how was his tongue…. Jeez. Valerie cursed herself silently. It seemed like she had turned into a pervert, with just one kiss.That man is really dangerous. Valerie should have known from the start, but she started playing with fire because she dared to try. It was all because Jose spread an attraction that Valerie could not resist, making her like a moth attracted to the candlelight, subconsciously burning herself to the point of scorch.“Valerie,” Charlotte started sulking. “Come on, tell me, you know I am really curious, right? Was the date a succes

“Oh my!” Valerie put her fingers to her mouth in surprise, causing George to raise an eyebrow.“What's wrong, Val?” George's gaze was sharp, probing as if searching for something in Valerie's mind. “Do you know him?”Valerie immediately shook her head. “It is okay. No, I do not know him.”George was still glaring at her. “Are you sure you do not recognize this guy?”Valerie shook her head again. No, it's not time to tell George about Jose Santiago. She still couldn't believe George, she did not even know whether George was speaking the truth or not.George took a deep breath, turning his attention back to the photo and document. “These are just the best photos we can get. All documents about him were deleted. All we know is he is a very violent assassin and he has never failed. We called him ‘The Slayer’ and we knew he was a man who was quite rich and powerful. His killing abilities made him even more dangerous.”George glared at Valerie. “This killer never fails, Val, and we know he'

That night Valerie felt those fingers touch the side of her neck, soft and warm. The touch was familiar, as familiar as the feeling it evoked. Valerie tingled straight from toe to head, feeling a passionate feeling tingle her mercilessly. She still closed her eyes as the warm body enveloped her, feeling so snug against her.Valerie felt herself half asleep. She then ran her fingers through the warm body that was pressing on her, tracing the tough muscles, wrapped in good and smooth skin; seductive, felt so steady in the squeeze of her fingers.On top of her was a very manly man. Valerie breathed in the distinctive male scent; the seductive aroma of wood combined pervaded all of her senses. Suddenly the man's lips caught up with her fingers, touching the side of her neck; it was hot and burning, sending out unexpected excitement signals.Valerie groaned as the man’s kiss progressed further down her jaw, down her cheekbones. A second after she felt a warm breath rush over her, his lips

The familiar aroma of coffee touched Valerie's nose, making her blink and frown. Her head felt dizzy as if she had been hit by something. She opened her eyes and realized that she was in her own room.“Are you awake? You want a cup of coffee?”The bed rustled as George sat at the foot of her bed, carrying a steaming cup of coffee. Valerie tried to sit slowly and looked at George who was smiling guiltily.“I do not know if someone who has passed out is allowed to drink coffee or not.” George looked at Valerie gently. “It's just that I know you like it.”Valerie couldn't help but return that gentle smile. “Thank you,” she whispered softly as George thrust the coffee cup to her lips.She took it and took a slow sip. The sharp taste of bitterness and sweetness immediately brought back her consciousness. Valerie handed the coffee cup back to George and the man placed it on the little table by the bed.“I passed out,” That is a statement, not a question.George nodded his head. “You did fai

“All okay,” the agent muttered sternly, as he found nothing suspicious on his watch.His tone was reassuring, making George who was on the phone there sound satisfied. After hanging up the phone, he smiled at his colleague who was next to him in the car.“You are sleepy, huh?” the agent smiled at his colleague who who knows how many times yawned beside him.They were indeed summoned to work tonight suddenly without any preparation. It was their job to be ready at any time, but his comrade seemed to be completely unprepared physically to stand guard tonight. His wife had just given birth and, like any new father who had just brought the baby home, he must have been sleep deprived.“You can sleep first, I'll be on guard,” the agent offered pityingly.There is nothing wrong with sending his partner a little sleep anyway, because tonight seems calm and it seems that what George was afraid of will not happen; there won't be intruders, kidnappers or even The Slayer to come.The agent rubbed

Valerie woke up in the ambiance of a dim room, dimmed by candlelight. She felt dizzy and a little nauseous, then blinked her eyes, feeling confused and disoriented.When she opened her eyes, she realized that she was in a deep dark room lit only by the flickering candle light at the foot of the bed. Her memory flashed immediately. The memory in the eerie kitchen made her startled and sat up from the bed, only to realize that her hands and feet were tied to the head and feet of the bed.Valerie stared in fear. Both hands and feet were spread apart on the feet and head of the bed, each one was tied with a handcuff. She was even more terrified when she realized that she was only wrapped in a black silk blanket, which when she moved, it rubbed her body directly, making her realize that she was completely naked under the blanket.When Valerie looked up, she saw that terrifying scene unfold before her eyes. Right at the large table attached to the foot of the bed, nine blue candles arranged
