Valentina's POV
"This is the final part of the wedding show we played yesterday, sign these" Allen said, as he flung the papers at me.
I read through the documents, Allen wanted an open marriage, where he could do whatever he wants, irrespective of our matrimonial vow.
"Is your family aware of this?" I asked
"Do you want me to kick you out of this house?" Allen threatened.
After a careful thought, I breathed out
"Okay, I will agree to and sign these documents on one condition"
Okay my little wife, what is it?"
Allen wore a smirk, playing with the golden pen in his hands, he looked at me like I was a child begging for candy.
"I want to have my own business" I sputtered.
" I provide you with everything that you want, why do you feel the need to work?"
Allen asked me with a straight face, I knew convincing him would not be easy, but I had the right card in my hands, I just had to place it in the right direction.
"I don't want to sit at home all day doing nothing" I replied, wearing a sorry look.
I really felt like hitting him in the face right now, but that would be a bad idea.
"Alright your wish is granted, besides I don't want a lazy wife around me" Allen boasted.
I grabbed the pen from his hands and signed the documents, with a faint smile on my face I said "Thank you".
"You're welcome, see you when I see you".
Allen walked out briskly and zoomed off in his white sports car.
That was the last time in two months that I saw and spoke to my husband. It was raining today, since last week a heavy downpour flowed from the sky.
"Hey bestie, how are you holding up?"
I read the text from my bestfriend Chloe, who had been away in the Islands for charity work, she flew in a few days ago.
"I'm good bestie, still at work, can't wait to link up with you this weekend, Love you xo xo" I replied to her text and jumped back into work.
Since Allen ran off with his mistress, a day after our wedding, work has been my life. I love interior decoration, it keeps me happy and I ensure to always give my best.
There was a knock at the glass door.
"Come in," I gestured.
"Ma I'll be going home now, I'm done with all of my work for today" My assistant Nora informed me.
"Alright, I'll lock up when I leave, Here's your paycheck for last month" I handed her an envelope.
" Thank you very much ma" Nora's face lit up with Joy.
" You're welcome, Take care of yourself"
As Nora left, I was worried about how she would get home safe, I looked out the window and noticed that it was drizzling.
" Thank Goodness" I muttered.
The safety of my staff was important to me.
While Driving on my way home, I vibed to my Jam "Go up", it was sang by my favorite band " The hit makers".
Just as I was about to make a turn, My car suddenly broke down in the middle of nowhere.
" How come? " I pondered.
The car was in perfect condition when I got to work and now this. It began raining heavily and I was stuck, I reached for my phone to make a call, but it slipped off my hands and the screen cracked.
My hands were shaking, I was nervous, not knowing what to do.
" Hey miss, are you okay? "
I jerked in fright at the voice and turned to see who it was, My gaze met with the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen.
I was speechless for a moment, he had a perfect masculine body with broad shoulders and an angelic face.
"You're cold" He said and wrapped me in his Jacket.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"My name is Jason, I drove by and saw that you needed some help" He replied.
"Yes my car suddenly broke down and I crashed my phone and I don't know..." I was shaky.
Then he calmed me with his words.
" It's okay. Please sit in the car while I fix it".
'Oh my God', I did as I was told, he held the door open for me and I sat in the car, my eyes fixed on every inch of his body as he walked to open the bonnet of the car, our gaze met and I looked away shyly like a teenage girl, I felt butterflies in my stomach.
"Start the car miss" He said after a few minutes, I did as he asked and the engine purred. I was so happy, I jumped out of the car and hugged him, he was surprised and I was shocked, but he brushed it off as excitement.
" Thank you" I said with a wide grin.
" You're welcome, wow it has stopped raining and your car is up, my work here is done, I have to go now, have a nice evening". He said and rushed off to his car.
Before I knew it, he sped away,
"oh Valentina he didn't even get to know your name, so such good men still exist in this world".
There was a beep on my phone, I looked at my cracked screen, it was a text from my mom which read
" We miss you at the company honey, we will be glad to have you back".
I hissed at the text, my mother and her antics,
What did she want this time?
She should have the company to herself. After all, she forced me into marrying a man I don't love to save her precious company, she should enjoy it and leave me out of it.
I turned on my favorite Jam and drove home happily, I thought about Jason, 'OMG!' I was definitely in the mood for a hot shower.
I walked into my room, took my clothes off, turned on a romantic song to suit the moment, and hit the showers freely diving into my fantasy with thoughts of my prince charming, Jason.
"He's so handsome" I thought, no man had ever treated me so nicely the way he did.
"Good Lord, I want to see him again"
Suddenly the music went off, and I heard footsteps. I turned off the shower to be sure, I was not imagining something else, the steps continued slowly.
I could tell the person was moving towards the bathroom door.
I got so scared, I screamed " who are you?"
I quickly wrapped the towel over my naked body.
There was no answer, the door opened quietly, I shut my eyes in fear.
