Meanwhile Valerie was behind them staring. Her eyes were on the man that shook hands with Mr Corba, he matches well with the description of Antonio Ferrari which Doctor Ava gave her, could that be him?She was about to move towards them when suddenly there were gunshots.The guest became alert immediately at what they heard. Emma's heart skipped a beat from where some cups were being washed. It was the first time she would be hearing this many sounds of gunshot and she couldn't help but get scared. Valerie was right. It was dangerous here, she should have just stayed at home and stayed with her mom."Dad.. what's happening?" Capri asked Emilio in a fearful tone while Martin's phone buzzed, he stylishly checked the message he just got from Evander.Cobra clans were the ones behind the shooting."Let's get out of here" Emilio grabbed his daughter by the arm but she refused to move."We can't leave Antonio behind dad" Capri began crying."Follow your father, I have to get Frederick and w
"Valerie!!" Emma suddenly appeared somewhere behind them and Valerie turned back to see her.Joy clouded her heart to see her sister was still alive, she wanted to move closer but one of the shooters beat her to it. He suddenly appeared in front of Emma, pointing his gun at her."No!!!!!" Valerie screamed with all her might and began running towards the scene but it was too late, the gun was already fired.Emma's eyes widened on seeing the bullet come to her in slow motion. She could already see herself dieing, death flashed before her eyes and she couldn't do anything about it. Why did she come back in?After waiting for seconds nothing happened to her. She opened her eyes to see that guy in red hair standing in front of her.Tyler was quick enough to shield her, collecting the bullet with his left arm. He used his right hand to pull his own trigger at the shooter and he went out.Tyler was sweating as he stared at Emma with nothing but anger. "Kid are you dumb? I thought I told you
Valerie noticed Evander wasn't driving to Grandma Riri's place. "Where are we going?" She narrowed her eyes at him."Boss said I should bring you to the clan" he replied and Valerie's eyes widened. "Am I going to start living there again? What about Grandma Riri? I like grandma" Valerie squeezed her face like she wanted to cry."You will still see Grandma, I bet boss just missed your face" he smirked a little and Valerie's eyes widened again. "What!??"Evander didn't say anything anymore, he just continued driving, leaving Valerie to sink in her own thoughts.'He missed her face?' she didn't believe it. How could Martin miss her face? In the BT cartel, Tyler kept groaning as Lucia helped his injured hands with that needle. "Can you be a gentler please" he groaned out and shut his eyes tight."All my life of going on missions, I have never gotten this badly injured but you went for your first and look at you. I'm even wondering how the boss made you the underboss" she clicked her t
Valerie had no choice but to fall on her knees and began pleading with him. "I didn't mean to go there, I just wanted answers to my questions that was why and I wrong, I shouldn't have endangered the baby, I know you don't care about me but you care about your baby and I should have been bit considerate" she pleaded with him because who would dare hide something from Martin.Martin was amused by the way she had just behaved. Was it because she was pregnant or something? Was it her pregnancy hormones making her act like this?"Who said I don't care about you?" He asked.She slowly raised her head to look at him feeling speechless on what to say next after what left his mouth. Martin understood he might be putting her in a tight spot, he just realized his feelings for her and was trying to start all over without messing things up.He sighed. "Get up from your knees" he muttered in a soft voice and Valerie slowly stood up."Come sit beside me,I want to talk to my child" he uttered and Va
In the meeting room, Martin was busy having a meeting with Carlos, Tyler and Evander. It took up to two hours before they all agreed on certain things and Martin finally allowed them to leave the room.Carlos was the one who left while Evander and Tyler stayed behind but Martin and Evander weren't saying anything because they were waiting for Tyler to leave."What?" Tyler faked a confused look at the both of them, ignoring the knowing looks they were giving him. He knew they wanted him to leave because they wanted to have a private discussion but he wasn't ready to leave yet."Just speak" Martin rolled his eyes as he gave Evander a dry look."I bought the house you asked for and I've talked to Grandma Riri about moving there with Valerie, I think you'd have to discuss with her personally that you'd start leaving together" Evander said and before he could even blink, Tyler was sitting close to them already."I'm I allowed to speak?" He asked with a low tone and annoying smile.Martin's
"Guys I'm serious here, it's all about the baby. He just wants me to be happy because of the baby that is why he got me a new laptop and phone and made me live with his grandma and also allowed me to see my sister and mother every weekend all because he cares about the baby!" Valerie clamped her lips together after knowing she had said too much and now Sage and Lucia were convinced it wasn't about the baby.Valerie stared at the two of them with an unbelievable look. Why were they doubting her? Or do they think a man like Martin could fall in love with someone, especially her?"Guys!" She shouted their names and they faced her."Look Valerie, love is for anyone and when it gets to the devil, he can never say no to it know matter what" Sage said and Lucia nodded.Valerie blinked repeatedly, she was never going to believe any of these. "Even if you guys think Martin is in love with me which I find stupidly ridiculous then I don't care because I don't feel the same way and never will I!"
The next morning, Valerie opened her eyes only to meet a cloth stand in front of her. She narrowed her eyes in confusion as she sat on the bed."Ma'am you've woken up, how was your night?" A woman walked towards her with a smile.Valerie looked around, she was in Martin's room but Martin wasn't there. Her eyes caught the wall clock and she gasped. It was 12pm, she just slept till 12pm when she had plans to follow Martin to the hospital to check how the baby was doing."Don't worry ma'am, Martin said not to wake you up so I allowed you to sleep the way you wanted. He also told me to bring some cool clothes for you because you are going out with him" the woman showed Valerie the cloth stand as she spoke.Valerie didn't know what to do, she just rubbed her eyes and nodded."So which one do you like, they are all your size?" The woman asked."That one" Valerie pointed to a peach colored dress and the woman nodded. "You really made the right decision because I have very fine sandals that g
"We are heading to the hospital, we won't take long before we leave for our new place so you can sleep some more" he said softly and she nodded at him, still feeling sleepy.Martin exchanged looks with Evander through the concave mirror and Evander began driving off.After some minutes of driving, they finally got to the hospital. "Wake up, we have arrived" Martin woke Valerie who was about to doze off.She rubbed her eyes and sat straight, Martin was the first to come down before she came after him."Did you book an appointment earlier as I said?" He asked as they walked in. Valerie was behind the two of them, she tried to keep up with their fast pace walking but she couldn't."Yes boss, the nurse is going to attend to miss Valerie on time" Evander nodded."Can you guys slow down a bit!!" Valerie couldn't keep up anymore. She was way behind them and was painting a little as she voiced out.Evander and Martin stopped walking, they both exchanged looks with each other. "We are sorry we
