Valerie was still staring at him with furrowed eyebrows. What would her ex-boyfriend, who happened to be her sister's husband, be doing in her house?“What do you want, Justin? What are you doing here?” Valerie asked impatiently.He gulped hard and cleared his throat. “I came here to see you, Valerie. I want to know why you sent back the package that I sent for you as a present.”“Why are you making life difficult for me? Is it so difficult for you to understand? You are married for God's sake, Justin. Worst still, you're married to my sister. I've told you that you should stop sending me presents because I just want you to focus on your family and…” Valerie was still speaking, but Justin interrupted.“I don't have any family. You are the only family that I want, Valerie. Don't you understand? I was being deceived by your step-sister. I have no love for her because I never stopped loving you.” Justin replied.Trying hard to get a hold of herself, Valerie freaked out. “You never stoppe
“What do you mean by that, Ethan? Do you really know who you're talking about?” Rebecca scoffed.Valerie, on the other hand, stared at President Ethan with her eyebrows furrowed. “I… I… I don't understand.”“You heard me, Rebecca. She has every right to be here because she's my daughter's biological mother.” Ethan repeated, throwing Rebecca in a trance.Little Audrey quickly got up from the bed where she was seated, and held her father's wrist. “Daddy, is she my real mother?”“Uhm… Sir, I think there is a mix-up somewhere. I mean, I can't possibly be the mother of your daughter. There's no way that we'll be true.” Valerie forced a smile.“I mean every single word I said, and I can't just lie about anything that has to do with my darling daughter. She's too important to me, and I can't lie about her mother.” President Ethan smirked.Rebecca staggered backwards as tears circulated in her eyes. “That's not true. I don't believe you, she can't be Audrey's mother. Have you forgotten, so so
“More… More wine.” Rebecca beckoned her servant. There were about six empty bottles of wine lying on the ground beside her.Belching drunkenly, she gulped down the wine that her servant had filled in the glass she was holding. She laughed hysterically and then burst into laughter.“What does she have that I don't have? Of all the women in the world, why does it have to be Valerie who is Audrey's mother? I can't take this anymore.” She wailed.The thought that Valerie was gradually taking Ethan from her made her freak out the more. “Hey! Am I not beautiful? Can't I also have a baby?” She tapped the servant.Gulping hard, the dismayed servant shook her head. “You… You are beautiful, ma'am.”“You liar!” She suddenly yelled at her. The servant flinched in fear.“I… I'm sorry, ma'am. I didn't mean to annoy you. Please forgive me.” The servant begged.Rebecca snorted. “How dare you lie to me? If you are telling the truth, then why doesn't he love me the way he cares about Valerie? It's be
“From now onwards, Valerie Watson will no longer be a Nanny or a servant of this mansion. She should be treated with respect because she's my daughter's mother. Do you understand?” The queued up servants chorused. “Yes, President.”Valerie gasped. Tears of joy filled her eyes, and rolled down her cheeks. Who would have thought that she would become a member of such a noble family.“I can't believe I'm your mommy, Audrey. Does that mean that I'm no longer your nanny?” Valerie sat on the bed.Giggling excitedly, Audrey nodded her head. “Of course, Mom. I don't want you to be my nanny anymore. What I've always wanted was a mom, not a nanny.”“Oh, dear! What would I do without you? Thank God, I had such an adorable and intelligent child. Who would have thought that you were my daughter all along.” Valerie chuckled.Valerie got up from the bed, and rushed to the drawer, searching anxiously for something.“What is it, baby? What are you looking for?” Valerie asked curiously.Audrey chuckle
Blood oozed out of her stabbed chest as she slumped on the ground. “This should teach you a lesson in hell. Don't you dare get any close to what is mine.”Rebecca's words kept resounding in her ears as she jumped up from the bed, sweating profusely.Valerie quickly placed her hand on her chest to check if she was really bleeding from the stab.“It was a dream! It was a dream!!” She panted heavily. Glancing at the wall clock, it was 5am. Fear gripped her. She couldn't go back to sleep for fear that she might be stabbed to death by Rebecca. Still lost in thought, her cell phone beeped.Reluctantly, she picked it up and stared at the message she had just received. It was from her father.“It's my birthday this Saturday. Your stepmother will be throwing me a party. I hope you can attend, child.”Exhaling deeply, she shook her head. She had already forgotten that it was her father's birthday anniversary this weekend. Countless things had been going on that she had forgotten very vital th
“I'm… I'm sorry” She stammered, and sprang up immediately. Ethan smirked mischievously. “Are you missing me so badly, Valerie? So, bad that you couldn't wait until tomorrow morning, huh? Tell me, what are you doing here?”“I… Actually, I just wanted to ask for your permission. It's my father's birthday this weekend, and Pere… I thought maybe you could let me go with Audrey. I mean, it's okay if you don't want her to go with me. Furthermore, I just…” Valerie continued stuttering.Ethan snapped. “Okay! Permission granted!”Gasping hard, Valerie blinked hard to make sure she wasn't dreaming. “Really? Are you really going to let Audrey attend my father's birthday?”“Yes! Isn't that what you want? And you don't need to tell me that this is precisely what Audrey wants.” Ethan sat on the couch.Valerie smiled broadly. “Oh, thank you so much. I promise, I'll make sure she's safe.”“You should, of course. She's your daughter, after all.” Ethan replied with a snort.Upon hearing that, Valerie
“You…” Patricia glared at Audrey.Forcing a smile, Claudia turned to Valerie, who eyed her. “Is this how you've been teaching your daughter? I know she's a little girl, but I'm certain that as a responsible mother, you should teach us some things that she doesn't know.”“However I decide to train my child has absolutely nothing to do with you, Claudia. I don't need your advice on how to take care of my child.” Valerie snapped at her.With that, Patricia eyed her and said. “Whatever!”“It's okay, everyone. This is my first time meeting my grandchild, and this is my birthday. You would rather not cause a commotion, do you?” Mr. Watson said, as he carried Audrey and walked to the guests, introducing her to them.Patricia walked to her mother, boiling in anger. She stared at Valerie as their father's colleagues kept admiring her. Why was not loved like Valerie? What does Valerie have that she doesn't have? Why is she loved by everyone? Then, she glanced at her father, the way he was showi
The music was still playing loud, she gradually opened her eyes. Her head was aching so badly. Opening her eyes, she found out that the room was so dark. Then, she felt someone's breath on her skin.With that, she quickly sprang up and turned on the table lamp. A gasp escaped her lips. “Justin?”It was Justin who was lying close to her, he was fast asleep. “Oh my god! How did I get here?”That was when she realized that she was half naked. Her heart skipped a beat. Did they get intimate with each other? How did this happen?“Justin! Justin!! Will you wake up?” She shook him vigorously. Tired, Justin yawned as he opened his eyes. Blinking rapidly, he jerked up from the bed. He was shocked to see Valerie lying beside him. Furthermore, he only had his inner pants on. “Did we…?”“How the hell did I get here, Justin? Why can't I remember anything that happened between us?” Valerie cupped her aching head with her palm.Justin was as confused as she was because he couldn't remember how he g
