Chapter 3 No. 3

Immediately Valerie unlocked the door with a key and entered the mini living room, she threw the bag on the couch and collapsed.

" This is so tiring. I can't do this again." She sighed deeply. " Raymond is getting back his Money tomorrow morning" She concluded. But as she stood up from the couch to go to the room, her phone rang. " Who could it be? Hope it's not Raymond"

She Picked up the bag , brought out her phone and her jaw dropped when she saw who the caller was. It has been months already since she last saw him and spoke to him. The last time she left him was not a good moment of her life.

That was her Ex boyfriend calling her. The Boyfriend whom she loved with all of her heart and planned to spend the rest of her life with. But he ended up cheating on her with her step sister.

As Valerie stared at the phone which was ringing, she wondered why he was calling her at that moment. Maybe he saw the news too and he was jealous to see her together with Raymond Walter who was well known in the county and beyond.

Valerie hissed, She wanted to drop the phone but something in her wanted to hear what her ex boyfriend was going to say to her. She clicked on accept and then places the phone on her ear.

" What do you want?" She asked him in an angry tone. She thought he called to plead with her to accept him back in to her life but she was wrong.

" Well played, Valerie. And here I was, thinking you decided to take your own life after I broke up with you but no, You went ahead to date a public icon" Valerie scoffed.

" Really? I didn't know that's what you've been praying for me. Tell me, where's your Girlfriend?" She sat down on the Couch because there was no way she was going to let him insult her and go scot free. She wasn't the Valerie they bullied months ago, she was now a new leaf.

" Lorna is fine and doing great. I didn't know you will fall in love again Valerie. But do you know what you are trying to get yourself in to?" Valerie chuckled. " Is that jealousy speaking? Because I can sense jealousy in your voice" She laughed Softly.

" Gerald, if this is a call to beg me to accept you in to my life again, You are wasting your time. Because I'm not..." He interrupted her. " I didn't call to do that. That will never happen. You aren't even my taste in a girl, I have no idea why I fell in love with you from the first time"

Valerie was pained by his words. He wasn't the first to say that to him but it has been long someone sad that to him ever since he decided to leave her parents house. No one has ever bully her gain for months now since she left the house.

" Watch the things you say to me!" She snapped at him. " Valerie, I have no time for this. Hear me out and listen to what I want to tell you" Valerie listened attentively. " You see that guy you were on the news with today? Stay away from him if you still value your life" He threatened.

" And what would you do if I don't stay away from him? Are you going to bring an end to my life? Quit dreaming, young man. You have no right to choose for me who I should love" She snapped at him again.

" If you listen to what I am about to say, it would be Good for you. Because there's no way I'll be seeing you every day. You already know how I hate you"

Valerie was confused by his statement. What does he mean by see her everyday? They don't even live in the same place , he lives back at her hometown while she lives in the City.

" That dude you hang out with today, That's my brother. The earlier you stay away from him, the better. Because I don't want to see you in our house even after I return" Valerie was speechless, what a small world. She didn't even think about it.

Gerald doesn't live with his parents back at her hometown, he lives alone in an Estate. But he was a rich spoil best wo lavishes his Money on any girl. And his Surname too was Walter. Gerald Walter, she should have known that the first time she saw Raymond because they almost look alike but she didn't.

Valerie grinned , What a wonderful moment. And there she was, thinking of moving on with her life not knowing a day would come that she would take her revenge on her ex boyfriend and her step sister. But it was so fast and she felt so happy.

" Come on Gerald, do you think I don't know about that?" She laughed. " I already know Raymond is your Brother that's why I accepted his Proposal. Well, You don't have the right to tell me to stay away from the love of my life. Okay? And again, do not call my line again"

Valerie burst in to laughter as soon as she hung up on him. She was so excited that Raymond was Gerald's Older brother. Her mind was now filled with a feeling of revenge on Gerald and Lorna. There was no way those tow would be happy right now. She also know, her Dad and Step Mum won't be happy because they too, might have seen the news.

" I am not canceling the contract again" Valerie laughed out loud. " What a beautiful day, Valerie. Who knows my star would shine so soon" She picked up her new expensive bag from the couch and made her way inside her tiny bedroom.
