Chapter 10 Kiss Me To Sleep!

|| VALENTINA'S POV ||

One day had passed since I texted Dylan, my EX-BOYFRIEND. I still recalled my days with him. Two years ago, I left him for money. Yes, exactly two years back, I lost the single person that I loved in this world because his mother came to offer me a big amount of money for my grandma's operation. I was a coward and had nothing to depend on. So, I took the money and left for his own good. Since that time, I have been carrying this guilt and pain like a huge mountain in my heart. Now that, Grandma has died even after trying hard, our deal didn't count.

Dylan was the sweetest guy that I had met probably in my life. He was a loving and caring person just the way I wanted. But perhaps, I was born with poor luck and couldn't get the happiness that I craved always. Dylan was heartbroken right after he found the truth. He even vowed that he wouldn't see my face ever again.

Thinking of hurting someone who meant the world to me, tears slipped from my eyes. Since last night, I kept checking my phone but there was no response from him.

Why would he care about me? I left him!

I rolled on the other side of the bed to muffle my cries. At that time, my phone dinged, indicating an unread message waiting for me. I quickly sat up to see the most unexpected message from Dylan.

" I missed you too! I am planning to meet you today in private. Come to our regular place. I will keep the room reservation."

I smiled through my tears happily. He loved me like always. Dylan still loved me. Maybe, I could tell him everything about my situation. I was sure that he would believe my words. Jumping off the bed in happiness, I decided to choose my makeup very cautiously today.

Redraw Motel & Restaurant,

I got off my head for the Motel. Four years back, Dylan set this restaurant and Motel as his first business. Since that time, we used to hang around in his Motel. I didn't need to check through the receptionist since the room number was still clear in my memory.

I couldn't believe that I was meeting Dylan again!

A smile crawled on my face when I made my way inside, Lorenzo's men following me closely.

Gosh! I hated them!

At least, he wasn't grounding me in his house anymore!

Reaching in front of the room, I ordered those guards irritated,

" All of you..Stay ten feet away from the room today. I have a personal chat with my friend."

Thankfully, they obliged without questioning. At least, I wasn't telling them to leave. Besides, I didn't want to create doubt in Dylan's mind so fast. I will tell him eventually until the situation is under control.

Half an hour later, I was getting a little impatient since he hadn't shown up yet. Suddenly, the door was pushed open and I saw him there in a gorgeous blue coat. He looked like the prince in my dream.

" H..Hi..",I greeted him awkwardly, standing up to face him fully. But the excitement within me was gone when I got no response from him. He looked emotionless as if he was meeting a stranger.

Tears welled up my eyes when I saw his little beard. He had matured much in these years. I lost my words at that moment. All I wanted was to run into his arms, kiss and hug him to tell how much I missed him.

" Val..", all my emotions broke out when he called me sweetly with my nickname. Losing myself to my emotions, I stumbled forward to claim his lips eagerly. He kissed me back, a kiss of missing. We kissed each other wildly until we both were panting. He pushed me down on the bed. I brought my hands to go for his pants.

Oh God..It was happening..

We promised to not have sex before eighteen during our relationship. So, it didn't happen but today, I wasn't going to hold it back anymore. I loved him with every piece of my heart.

Eagerly, I started unbuckling his belt but suddenly, he stopped my hand, freezing my actions. His husky voice reached my ears,

" Val..we..we can't..do this..."

" Why? Don't you love me anymore?", I questioned back, looking into his hesitant eyes numbly. He bit his lips tightly together. Something didn't feel right with his actions.

Lifting himself slightly from the bed, he answered in a low voice,

" I..I came to tell you.. that..I am already engaged to someone..Val..We should let..go of..us.."

Three hours!

I had spent fucking three hours in crying only. Dylan left after he told the news to me. I didn't hold him back anymore. I mean, what right did I have to stop him?

Nothing!

No, I needed to clear my mind. I had to be stronger for the baby. Subconsciously, I placed a hand on my stomach to mutter incoherently,

"Only..I have you..now baby.."

Staggering up, I dragged my feet to move the door. Dylan left by saying that I could stay for the night here if I wanted. I really wanted to stay here since I had no mental condition to face the world outside.

I called one of the guards, and ordered coldly,

" Get me a whiskey now!"

He was shocked but soon he left after I repeated my words loudly,

" GET ME A WHISKEY NOW! DON'T YOU HEAR?"

Few minutes later, the guard returned with a small bottle of whiskey and served me a small portion. I tried with everything to not take more for the sake of the baby. One small shot of the whiskey, I was drunk already. My eyesight was getting blurry and dizzy.

I laid down on the bed, smiling and giggling. All the painful emotions began to stab into my heart one after another slowly. Dylan didn't want me anymore. He hated me..for everything..

What did I do to deserve this life?

Tears poured from my eyes as I began to sob loudly. Not long after that, someone entered my room without knocking. I could barely open my eyes when I heard him, Mr.King's enraged tone,

" What mess have you done here, Valentina?"

He took my name for the first time, angry and furious. I just laughed at him madly like I couldn't understand why he was angry. He exhaled heavily, helplessly and finally spoke, giving me his hand,

" Come on, Get up! We will go home!"

I just shook my head, having messy thoughts in my head. I wailed more like a crybaby,

" Kiss me! Kiss me to sleep or..I..I am not coming with you.."
