* Chapter 12 * Valeria tried to clear this confusion, but the man's grip on her waist got tighter. She looked at him stunt at his behavior. ' Shameless man. Holding me like I am his girlfriend or something,mheww ' ' His fiance?? Why would he agree to that? ' The question which had been disturbing her mind came out, the second they left Mrs. Greene at her home with nurses. " Why did you tell Mrs. Greene, I was your fiance?" She began as soon as they arrived at the public parking space. Xander glared at her furiously " You don't just shut up do you?" 'I have a headache and this girl keeps talking on and on. ' he thought sighing within.She snorted and said " Excuse me. I was not the one forcing myself on another person. You made her believe we are in a relationship. Why?" " Easy! To get the contract " he spoke callously. " You are heartless. Will you lie to an old woman only for a piece of land? " Val, snapped back as she clenched her fists

* Chapter 14 * Slowly, she stood up, with the race of her heart ten times more than normal. Luckily as soon as she glanced at the man who got her phone, she felt lighter. " Thank goodness! It is not Xander" He was 1.7 m tall with broad shoulders and dark brown eyes. He wore a hundred percent wool, a great suit that not only flaunted his broad shoulders but also his charismatic charm illuminating a calm aura. The man bent to hear what Val mumbled to herself. Their eyes met, the stranger's pupils dilated as his brow raised, and a thin line replaced the amused smile on his lips. " You " His shadow fell on Valeria and she subconsciously took three steps back. Instantly, Val grabbed her phone away and cleared her desk of the paper planes and kites. Which she had been toying with because she was bored and was not assigned to do anything.With that done she smiled professionally twitching her eyes. " Good morning. I am the new secretary" declared Väl, takin

*Chapter 16 * Luck was not on her side, as Val's phone switched off in the next few minutes. " No no no " she cried out tapping on the phone not to sleep on her. " I thought I charged you this morning, What is happening? " Her blue eyes scanned through the empty wet road as the rain intensified. A cold wind blew over her nose making her cheeks turn rosy red as she began sneezing. ' achoo achoo ' Although Valeria lived in the North she had never acclimatized to the cold climate. It was something that she found funny anytime she gave it a thought. But at this moment, that was not important, what was; was how she would return home in this weather without a phone to even hire an Uber. A loud sigh escaped her lips as her eyes twitched before the pool of tears gathered in them. This was a habit of hers ever since her childhood, she tended to cry every time she felt like a circumstance was beyond her control. Wiping her tears, Val lifted her eyes to the sk

* Chapter 18 * Support guys with gifts, comments, and following me. Love you!! * Bang!*. The glass of water which was holding fell on the floor. " When last did you see your period?" she heard him repeat. Valeria's cheeks became redder, this effect spread to her small ears. The question was very uncomfortable, could this man not see how uncomfortable she was now? How could he ask such a private question? Shameless man Rather, he was secretly enjoying seeing her being flushed. She played with her fingers as her lips quivered. " I am asking because I can not think of any reason why tea would make one throw up. "Xander inquired as he sat on the glass table. Val looked up guiltily at me with his empty eyes. She was not a virgin anymore so it could be a possibility. A possibility she dreaded at the thought, her responsibility was too much. She did not even have enough money to do anything at the moment. His lips curved into a dangerous smile

* Chapter 20 * At this point, he paused to look at her and continued to ask. She glanced at the expression on his face before turning her back to say " Two pink lines " " Congratulations " the doctor spoke out of formality. He saw the pale look on her face. " Don't worry! It will be difficult in the early months but it will all be worth it " Valeria smiled faintly. An array of thoughts occupied her mind. She did not want to get rid of the baby. It was against her morals. She could only stare as the doctor filled out some forms he stamped them.
