Valeria wanted to give in to the kiss but questions are still left unanswered.She forcefully pushed him away."Enough!!""Now this is the problem, Noah, you just think all problems can be solved through sex. You keep confusing me!""Valeria. What are you saying? I don't understand.""I just can't bring myself to do anything with you, not when I don't even know my place. What kind of relationship is this? What are we? Am I just your sex toy? Your baby mama? What am I to you, Noah?""A lady showed up here and claimed you as hers. I don't even understand Noah. Sometimes I think you're only with me because of sex or maybe Fred.""If sex is the reason, then please Noah, I don't want anything to do with you, I won't let you use me and then get my heart broken again. I know this all started with a deal but I'm willing to work my ass out to pay you for what I owe you. And if this is because of Fred, then you should know I have no problem with you seeing him. You can come see him anytime you
"Papa me too, me too," Fred whined when he saw this and this made Valeria and Noah laugh.Noah went to Shantel and he kissed Fred on his forehead.Fred held Noah's face with both hands and also kissed his cheek."Thank you son." Noah said with a bright smile.Shantel stood there feeling so confused as to what was happening."Will you come again papa?" Fred asked in a sad voice."Of course, son, I'll come over tomorrow. You know I can't stay away from my little prince," Noah replied. Fred chuckled."Do come over, papa," Fred said once more."I will baby." Noah went back to Valeria."I'll see you tomorrow," he said. Valeria nodded.They both stared at each other for sometime. Noah felt like kissing her again and doing so much more, but he couldn't do that in the presence of Fred."Stop staring at me and leave already," Valeria chuckled."I'm going to miss both of you." Noah sighed."I wish we could all live together, Val, isn't that possible?" He said softly.Valeria didn't have an ans
Next day....Valeria woke to the sound of her phone ringing.She groaned as she placed a hand on her forehead."Who could be calling this early morning," she muttered.She took her phone from the bedside table and when she saw who it was, she immediately sat up.It was Noah who was calling.Valeria had yet to answer the call but she was already blushing so hard and her heart was racing.She cleared her throat, then she answered the call."Hello," She uttered softly."Hey baby, good morning." Noah's morning voice was sounding so deep and sexy, it gave Valeria a tingling feeling down there."Good morning." She replied shyly."Did I wake you up? Hope I didn't.""No no, you know I'm not a late sleeper, I was up already." She lied."What about Fred? Still sleeping, I guess.""Yup, you know him, he's just like you," Valeria said, and she heard Noah chuckle from the other end."Yes, I know, he's like me, but I pray he won't be like me in some aspect. You know what I mean."Valeria understoo
"You're saying all this just because you found a new bitch, isn't it," Adrianna yelled.Noah balled his fist in rage."I've told you before, Adrianna. Mind how you speak about her, she's not a fucking slut like you!!" Noah spat."Oh I see, how good she is in bed that she already has you wrapped around her damn fingers, huh? How good is she? Is she even better than me? She's nothing compared to me. If she's the lady I saw the other day, then you're so crazy, Noah, you're crazy for being with a wretched lowlife lady and what's with the baby, huh? Don't tell me she has a kid for you." Adrianna scoffed."Don't test my patience Adrianna, I'm warning you, don't say anything bad about my child and Fiancee," Noah yelled with gritted teeth.Adrianna squinted her eyes at Noah."Fi what? Fiancee? You must be kidding me," She hissed."Quit joking around and open the damn gate Noah, we fucking need to talk!""We can just go in and settle things, just like how we used to before" Adrianna said softl
Noah's car pulled up in front of Valeria's apartment.He got out and went to her doorstep, then he knocked on the door.He waited a while before someone came to answer it.The door opened, revealing Shantel."Noah? You?" She called in surprise."Yes Shantel, good morning, you seem surprised to see me here. What happened?" Noah questioned with a smile."I mean, I wasn't expecting you to be here this early," she said."Oh, well, here I am." Shantel looked inside to be sure no one was there yet. Valeria was upstairs with Fred and she needed to talk to Noah quickly, but she wouldn't want Valeria to hear it.She went out and shut the door, all to the surprise of Noah.She folded her hands to her chest and looked at Noah with a straight face.Noah cleared his throat nervously, he didn't understand her sudden change of behavior and the look on her face told him that she was about to say something serious."What's wrong, Shantel? Why are you looking at me like that? Did I do something wrong?
"I'm listening, Noah, who's gonna hurt Valeria, huh?" Shantel asked.Valeria was literally praying for Noah not to say anything to Shantel, because if he did, she knew what Shantel was capable of doing, she wouldn't mind going to find Ergon and Adrianna.Noah sighed deeply, he couldn't tell Shantel the truth."You have nothing to worry about, Shantel. I was only promising Valeria that I wouldn't ever allow any harm to come to her. You don't have to worry about anything," Noah said, and Valeria sighed in relief.Shantel stared at him for a while, as if to see if he was telling the truth or not, because she had a feeling they were hiding something, but she'd let it be for now, she'd ignore the weird feeling and take Noah's words."Okay then, if that's the case, then there's no problem." "Thank you Shantel and I truly appreciate how much you care for Valeria, you're always ready to pounce on anyone who would dare to hurt her. I truly appreciate your concern.""You're right about that, N
Noah sat in his office working on his laptop.He had decided to come to work today and he was met with lots of work. He didn't mind Valeria not being there, he could literally get another secretary. With the way things were going, he wouldn't even want her here, not with Ergon and Adrianna threatening to do this or that.A knock sounded on his door."Come in," he said, not looking up from his laptop.Ergon came in and he went to sit in front of Noah.Noah raised his head to look at him."Ergon? What are you doing here?""Where's Valeria?" Ergon asked, going straight to the reason he was here, he wouldn't want to beat around the bush."What do you mean? And what do you want with her?" Noah asked with a frown on his face."Does it matter to you? Just tell me where she is, because I know you know where she is.""And what if I don't?" Ergon chuckled darkly."Fine then, I won't force you to tell me where she is, but even if you don't, I'll find her myself. I've had a change of heart, I w
The security guards dragged Ergon outside the building and they threw him out.Ergon would have fallen had he not managed to maintain his balance."We don't want to see your face here again," one said."Get out!! Leave here or you'll regret it." The other said, and they both left.Ergon stood staring at the building with so much anger, his blood was literally boiling with rage.Noah's confession kept on ringing in his ears and this added to the rage he felt. At that point, he felt like killing Noah."You'll pay for this, Noah, you'll pay for your betrayal. Mark my words." He said with gritted teeth.He turned to leave but he bumped into someone.She would have fallen had he not wrapped his hands around her waist to hold her up. Ergon's eyes met with those of the lady's furious gaze and, damn, she was hot."What the fuck! Get off me!" She spat and pushed him off."Are you blind? Can't you see where you're going?"Ergon raised his brow in a questioning manner. She reminded him of Valer
