Travis P.O.V There were already a lot of things different about Ethan, I had this strong feeling that he was hiding something from me, and I’m tired of just letting him act as he pleases. I also feel like he was lying about Valentina’s visit… I paused for a while, as I tried to figure out why he was hiding her from me.Is he dating Valentina?That was impossible, but I have noticed just how he gets around her or whenever someone mentions her name, he was being too protective of her.Even though he told me to leave and wait for him to come home, I just couldn’t leave just like that so I usually drove over there once in the evening after school with the hope that he was going to come outside and I might get a chance to go see Valentina.Just as I was parked outside, I watched Ethan waltz out of the hospital, one of his hands was in his pocket, and I was quite a good distance away from the hospital. So it was close to impossible for him to notice me from that far.He stood beside his c
Travis P.O.VA small smile crept on my face as I strolled out of the hospital building, I knew Ethan wouldn’t be coming here until tomorrow, and if he unfortunately met with his father at home then he might not come back here in a few days.Especially after the message that I sent to Mr. Lords.Anyway, my plans would be working to perfection, Poor Valentina, she might not sleep so well tonight, she did a good job trying to appear as if she wasn’t affected by my information but I know what she felt. I needed to save her before she ended up falling in love with him, Ethan is nothing but her destruction, and she should make sure to stay away from him especially when the Guillotine is giving her another chance at life.Ethan was never destined to have Valentina, but he was a greedy brat who would stop at nothing to make sure he had her.A smirk cracked my face as I wondered what he would choose from the list of options that would be given to him.“Travis,” I heard the worried voice tha
Ethan’s P.O.V “You didn’t tell me why you’re suddenly leaving,” Junis said turning the wheels, and I turned my face outside the window, I wasn’t interested in what he was saying. I wanted a kiss, but I ended up settling for a peck, and it was nearly not enough, I barely resisted the urge to grab her because I didn’t want to scare her. Valentina’s lips were like I remember, even though she was basked with the scent of antiseptic and antibiotic, her still scent was as beautiful as I remembered. A smile touched my lips, I could continue that tomorrow. “Master Ethan…” Junis called me again, taking me out of my train of thought, why wouldn’t this old man let me be? “Do you want to talk to your father?” “No, I would just like to sleep,” I confessed I would like to sleep and think about the feeling of Valentina’s lips against mine. “We will be going back to the hospital tomorrow.” “Sure,” He answered returning his eyes to the road, Junis is trying so much for me, and I think I s
Nathan’s P.O.V“Alright, thank you,” I answered the phone as I watched one of the nurses help Valentina climb down the last sets of stairs, I slipped my phone into my pocket as I rushed towards them, I had already gotten our stuff into the taxi. “Valentina, are you sure about this?” out of concern I asked when I noticed just how painful it is for her to walk. “Yes.” She answered firmly, using a blunt smile to cover up the pain she was probably feeling, the doctor had said there was no big deal with her discharge, however, they would advise she stayed for a few more days in the hospital so that she could receive adequate attention.“This is just too sudden.” I tried to convince her and she shook her head again as we head towards the taxi. “You still can’t walk properly.” I said pointedly.“I can manage.” She repeated with a faint smile, for one I was very happy she decided to call me after two weeks and she apologized for being too harsh on me. She then suddenly, requested I co
Valentina's P.O.V I sat down on my bed, the words Ron and Norah spoke resounding in my ears. I didn't know how to feel, no matter what I felt I knew I didn't have any right to feel that way. Even though Nathan is being considerate of me and he had tried to console me before he left. There was a slight pain in my chest, dull but sharp at the same time. She touched her lips, she could still feel the warmth of Ethan's lips against hers. For that brief moment, when he kissed her, she didn't feel so alone anymore. She found herself trusting him but it was thanks to Travis that she was able to come back to her senses. She didn't know why Travis would choose to tell her that truth about his best friend. "You should stop talking too much to Ethan." Travis had advised with a small frown on his face. "Even though he might seem nice and kind to you now, you should know this more than anyone what kind of person Ethan is." I wondered why Travis would say something like that ab
Valentina’s P.O.V“You don’t know what he wants.” I answered him confidently, I hated the way Nathan defended him as if he knew him so well when they had only met once. If anyone should know Ethan, it is Travis, they basically grew up together, and Travis would never lie about it to me.“What does he want?” He asked me challengingly and I froze because I had already promised Travis not to tell anyone about it, I know Ethan could lose his trust for him if he finds out that Travis was the one who told me. “Tell me, Valentina, what do you think Ethan wants from you?”“Leave me alone.” I gave up first, strolled back to my bed and plopped on it angrily, I didn’t want to argue again, I am never meeting with Ethan and that is final.“I can’t leave you alone, Valentina.” He was insistent and he was starting to annoy me, this is the first time Nathan was arguing with me like this, I know it was because he was worried for me but this time around it didn’t feel right since all we are doing is ar
Nathan’s P.O.VI clenched my fists as I stepped down the stairs, I am not just going to discard what Valentina said, and I will speak to Ethan and see if he had the intentions to begin with… I may never forgive him if he ever had the thoughts of hurting my sister.Breakfast is ready, Dad made it and now that I think about it, Valentina wouldn’t come down here, she was still not fully better and secondly, she might become hungry.“Good morning, Dad.” I greeted them as I entered the kitchen, he was making toast, and Norah was at the dining table, drinking her coffee and giggling on her phone. “Is breakfast ready?”“Oh, Nathan,” Dad smiled as he acknowledged my presence only after he heard me speak. “I just made some for your mother and Norah, yours is ready and…”He trailed off suspiciously and my eyes followed the movement of the plates, and I noticed there was an extra.“I thought Valentina could have a small bite as well.” My eyes widened on their own accord, and my heart raised, I d
Ethan’s P.O.V“He said you made a bet with your other friends, and your only goal is to get Valentina into your bed,” He said pointedly, and a small frown crossed my face but that didn’t stop him from proceeding. “You only want to win your bet and to do that you need to get her to trust you.” I had never been more confused than I was right now, why would Travis or anyone of my friends say something like this to her about me? I could never stoop so low.Not denying the fact that I also desired Valentina sexually, there have been a lot of things I wanted to do with her, but I would never discuss it with my friends. “Are you sure Travis was the one who told her this?” I asked curiously because there was no way the Travis I knew would ever make something like this up about me.“Not me, but Valentina told me Travis had come to see her in the hospital.” He rephrased. “Are you sure you didn’t misheard her?” my heart sank as I watched Nathan shake his head confidently; I ran my hands int
