THIRD PERSON'S POVWhen Valencia and Asher went out to talk, Archer took out a document and started to read. While Adelio looked at Sinclair family with an awkward smile.‘‘Would you like something to have?’’ He asked, with a polite smile.‘‘No, it's okay.’’ Mrs. Sinclair says with a warm smile. Adelio nodded his head, not knowing how to strike a conversation.‘‘Um…can I ask something…personal?’’ Rosalie, Adrian's wife asked nervously.Archer looked up, but again looked down on the document. ‘‘..Yes, what do you want to ask?’’ Adelio said, with a small smile.‘‘We…didn't see your mother? Is she not here?’’ Rosalie asked, Adrian held her hand under the table and shook his head.Archer couldn't take anymore and sternly looked at them. ‘‘Our mother is not anymore. She died years ago. ’’ He said.There's a long awkward silence, no one says anything for some time then Mrs. Sinclair gently asks. ‘‘What happened with her?’’ ‘‘It doesn't matter to you, it's not your concern, and don't eve

AARON'S POVI opened my eyes as I felt something or someone on my chest, and saw a beautiful, breathtaking sleeping peacefully on my chest.Valencia was sleeping peacefully, her head on my chest, her red lips pouting cutely, her arms wrapped around me. Right now she's looking so cute that no one will believe that a few hours earlier she's killing people like she's killing mosquitoes.When she pleaded to take her in my arms, I couldn't bear to see the defeated look on her and immediately took her in my embrace. She snuggled in my arms then we slowly fell asleep.I looked outside the window and realized that it's already evening. Valencia told us to pack our bags so we can move in her house until this thing is over.My arms tighten around her waist, it feels good to have her in my arms. But I haven't packed my bags so I have to let her go.I tilted my body to the right and gently laid her down on my bed, she held my shirt tightly in her fists, and refused to leave me.I caressed her ha

VALENCIA'S POVI hissed as I shifted on my seat, my arse cheeks are still burning because of last night's spanking. Aaron fúcking Sinclair spanked me!! He spanked me more than twenty times. Hard.‘‘Queen, are you okay?’’ One of my associates asked. I shifted on my seat until I found a comfortable spot to sit. ‘‘Yeah, go ahead, I'm listening.’’ I said and they again started to discuss our upcoming project. It's an important meeting between the head associates and me.Last night was a reckless move by both of us. I never expected him to show up in my bedroom (okay, a tiny part of me wanted him in my bedroom). And I was more surprised because of his sudden apology.I'll lie if I say that his apology didn't affect me, and a strange feeling crushed my heart, because for a moment I thought that he was apologizing for whatever happened between us.It feels so stupid to think that Aaron was in guilt all these years!! He wanted to apologize just because he said something about my mother, whi

AARON'S POV I held her before she fell down. I pulled her close to me in shock, wrapping my arms around her small waist. ‘‘Hey, it's okay. You're fine.’’ I whispered gently and kissed her forehead. ‘‘Don't worry, nothing happened. It was me.’’ She looked at me in daze then her body gradually relaxed in my arms. She again sleepily leaned in my arms. I didn't want to put an end to this moment but filling her empty stomach with food is more important. ‘‘It's lunch time, don't you want to have food?’’ I whispered and carried her in bridal style. ‘‘…no, I want to sleep.’’ Valencia muttered, her eyes closed. I took her to my private washroom and put her down on the counter. I took a wet towel and stepped between her thighs. I gently held her chin and began to softly wipe her face. Her eyes are still closed and she's leaning on me. It still surprises me that she doesn't wear makeup but still looks so stunning and beautiful. The towel was clean even after I wiped her face. ‘‘V

VALENCIA'S POV I stumbled back and held my left shoulder with my right hand. Everyone shouted and tried to run towards me but guards immediately surrounded them. ‘‘Go inside the house!’’ I screamed and took out my hidden gun. A mere injury can't stop me from fighting. I will fight till my last breath. I ran towards the woods, ignoring the pain in my left shoulder. I heard different types of footsteps, almost ten men around me. Three men jumped from the trees and pointed their guns and weapons towards me. I halted my steps as they circled me, I waited for some second then launched at the gun man. I grabbed his gun, thrust it under his chin and shot him with his own gun. The other two men grabbed me from behind. I took my gun and shot one man in the leg, then hooked my arms around his neck and threw him from above my shoulder. Next one punched me in the stomach and was going to punch me in the face but I held his fist and twisted it, he screamed like an fúcking gorilla. I took h
