CHAPTER 66Valerie stirred up from bed holding her head as she felt a sharp pain and hard pounds in her head."You're up," Gideon beamed as he caressed her face. "How are you feeling?" He asked, checking her body temperature."I have a severe headache," she said, closing her eyes and wincing in pain. "What happened to me? Last I remember, I went to the mall to shop with Maria, and I went to the kitchen utensils section to buy pots, pans, and oh my God," she gasped as she remembered everything.Gideon looked at her quizzically, "What? Maria brought you home because you fainted. She brought you here like three hours ago, and I immediately called Doctor Dae," he quaked."I didn't faint! Well, technically I did, but it's only because she hit me on the head with a frying pan," "Who hit you?" Gideon asked."Fareeda. I saw her in the mall, she was speaking to me and then she congratulated me on my engagement. I wonder how she even knew about everything," She whined.Just then, Maria entere
CHAPTER 67She stepped onto the deck of the luxurious yacht in which Gideon had gifted her for her last birthday. Soft music drifted through the air, mingling with the foggy air as her yacht sailed west.On board were all the nuclear family members of Gideon, which consisted of Gordon, Gianna, Grace, Glee, and Gauri. And her side of the family which consisted of Maria and Gale. It was small but she still appreciated the fact that they were here.Valerie clutched her glass of sparkling wine in her hands while holding the letter that Fareeda undoubtedly slipped into her bag. After all these years, Fareeda only came to apologize now, prioritizing her hatred for the Carsons over her love for her. Plus, Gideon has been ignoring her since the day they had an argument about having more kids.She completely understood where Gideon was coming from, it's normal for him to want a child of his own, but there were many ways that he could have perfectly worded that statement.Yes, everyone knew tha
CHAPTER 68Ragged breaths could be heard as Gideon pinned Valerie to the door. He held her up, his strong muscular arms under her thighs as he sucked on her breasts. Moving his mouth from one breast to the other before moving to bathe her neck with hickeys.He pressed her up against the wall further before entering inside her with his long, veiny dick. Loud moans left Valerie's lips as he entered and pounded into her, her walls clamping around his dick as he plunged deep into her.Valerie's temperature grew hot as she started to feel orgasm threatening to surge out of her vagina. She bit her lip harshly, hoping that it would suffice because she didn't want to end anything now. Loud moans, sweat, pants, and the sound of smooth yet hard thumps. Valerie's eyes went wide as he ground against her pubic bone, allowing that orgasm that she wanted to keep in to flow out of her.Her arms went wobbly and so did her legs as she came crashing into Gideon's strong arms. He lifted her effortless
CHAPTER 69Joyful chatters filled the entire wedding space as the soft music began to play. It was the day of the wedding. The day everyone has been waiting for. Valerie's private island was transformed into a beautiful flowery wonderland, a medium-sized podium stood at the forefront of the gathering, bathed in flowers and beautiful starlights.The guest section was separated into two. One part for the groom's family, and the other for the bride. That was what was originally agreed until Gianna begged Valerie and Gideon to allow her to invite friends from church to be on the bride's side since the bride only had three family representatives. What neither of them expected was that her friends from church would surpass forty people.A total of a hundred seats were prepared for the occasion. Fifty on one side, and fifty on the other. Gianna invited everyone from her large family, some of them weren't able to sit on the groom's side due to lack of space, and so they were transferred to
CHAPTER ONE: PROLOGUE"Why wouldn't you go back to London!" Alex roared at Alan"Why is it such a big problem for you? I have my manager and the board of directors handling things for me in London. Why are you so threatened by my presence here?" He yelled back"Because you are ruining things for me Alan, you are making everything difficult for me! ""You are making things difficult for yourself Alex, I did not want to have to report you to Father but I think that would be the best decision now since you have decided that embezzling company funds will be your metier now, "Alex looked at him, resentment evident in his expression as he moved to come for Alan. Valerie, who was seated on the bed, sprang up to come in between them before things got more heated. Facing Alex and backing and holding Alan's hands, the expression on her face was one of worry and warning. Alex looked irritated at the sight before him, he shoved her aside making her stagger, and hold on to the vanity mirror for
CHAPTER TWO: MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE! Every year since Valerie married into the Carson family all the responsibility for organizing Christmas has been transferred to her. Nothing changed except that the Christmas preparation is usually more hectic than the last, and her husband- Alex even made it more unbearable for her. Valerie worshipped her husband and the ground he walked on because he saved her father from going to prison. Valerie's father- Toby Diaz was a well-known gambler and fraudster. He usually borrowed money from Alex- his boss and then gambled it all away. In the end, Toby had no means to pay Alex back and that was the first time Alex had ever seen Valerie. Valerie was 17, she rushed into the living room because she heard people yelling. When she entered the living room, she found out that they were yelling at her father, she looked confused and couldn't place her finger on why they'd be screaming at her father. All the heads in the room turned toward her, including Al
CHAPTER 3: SNEAKY LINKS? When Mini heard Valerie's voice, she quickly hung up. Just then, Valerie heard Alex coming. She immediately dropped his phone, left the room, and turned her back to the door, her chest heaving. Rushing to where Fareeda was, Valerie tried to compose herself. Fareeda was busy directing people to get the decorations done in time for the Christmas party. She pulled Fareeda by the arm and led her to a corner. Fareeda and Valerie had a close relationship as they were best friends. Their friendship began when Alex married Valerie, and Fareeda was a new maid in the house. Even though Fareeda was two years older than Valerie. When Valerie felt lonely and sad, Fareeda was always there for her. When the former head maid passed away, Valerie insisted that Fareeda take her place. Even though the other maids were envious of Fareeda's promotion, neither Valerie nor Fareeda let it bother them. Anyone who dared to challenge Fareeda's authority would be severely punished. V
CHAPTER FOUR: Valerie walked down the stairs gracefully, her heart heavy but she wore a smile on her face. Fareeda followed closely behind her. "Dining room Val, " Fareeda said, as she escorted her to the entrance of the dining room and left to organize tomorrow's event. The tension in the room was palpable, as she walked into the room, she couldn't help but notice the gloom on Mr and Mrs Carson's faces and the brothers looked like they wanted to kill each other. The Carson brothers have never gotten along for some reason unknown to her, they always fight like children now and then. Crazy how Alan hasn't managed to kill Alex yet. Good riddance to bad rubbish. A smile appeared on Mr. and Mrs. Carson's faces as they saw Valerie. Mrs. Carson stood up, her arms wide open, and Valerie embraced her happily. Mrs. Carson's fingers intertwined in Valerie's hair, massaging her scalp as they hugged. "My Valerie, how are you? " she asked, cupping Valerie's face"What has happened to you? y
