Valentina POV

"What the hell do you mean asshole, are you talking to me like that?!" A females voice shouted in a very annoying way.

"Yes I am bitch now suck it up and shut up your voice is blocking my ear!" Another spoke out aggressively but at the tone it was a male.

I heard the sound of something breaking from below. I could only guess from my kitchen and that the sound it must be one of my chinaware

It certainly who it was 'MY PARENT' not a new thing.

A sigh escaped my lips as I climb down from my king-size bed. Tying my robe together I head down to the source of noise. Cautiously.

"Are you talking to me?! Did you just call me a fucking bitch?! Oh I will show you what a bitch can fucking do!" the female shouted.

"Woman you're crazy" He respond back this time sounding tried, probably from their argument.

"Yes I am, am fucking crazy, and let me tell you, you married this crazy woman now shut the fucking up dickhole!"

Okay I have had enough of this two, why can't they for once shut the fuck up. I made it to the kitchen yet those two still yelling at each other. I rolled my eyes mentally avoiding them from seeing it or else am in deep shit.

I sigh "Mom, dad can you please stop" I felt tired. I used my hands to rub my two eyes am such my hair is a mess and am still in my shorts and sweat shirt, my mouth is also smelling 'morning breath'.

"So you lady decided to come down stairs" My mom Margo said deviating her anger towards me.

Fear is what I felt at this moment I hate when she does that it ends up with her questioning me and that lead to things I fear or could it be 'someone' I fear. I shivered thinking about him but I refuse to the pains I feel every time I think of him is still there.

"S-Sorry I w-was sleeping" I stammered with fear which was so unlike me.

"Of course you were asleep we came to your house shouting and it took you long to get down here!" My father James yelled at me hitting the island with his palm hard.

I flinched "A-Am sorry" I stammered again but this time shaking hard

"Just shut up now listen to us" My mom shifted a chair to sit on and face me "Now tell me is there any rich guy you are shagged?" She lifted her brow.

Oh my here comes the trouble have been avoiding "No" I whispered quietly but she still heard me.

"What the fuck do you mean 'No' why haven't you shagged one?" She shouted throwing an apple at me aiming it on my head but I manage to dodge it.

"I haven't seen one" I hesitantly scared of what she will do.

"You haven't seen or you are to lazy to find one?" My dad said glaring at me

"What of the man what his name again" She pause to think for a while "Yes! Justin Smith why haven't you shagged him? Ehm?" She snapped her finger demanding answer.

"He is married" I pointed out.

My mom spread her arms and look at me like am stupid "So?" I was short of word but she still continued "Even if he is married don't that make you not able to shag him listen lady use you weapon ,your lady weapon men likes it and can't resist it, use your brain. You saw one of the richest man in the world and you still can get him. You know.." She come down from her chair and stood in front of me I almost moved backward, ohh how I hated this "...that why I prefer your sister Rafela more than you she knows what she does more than you"

She put her finger on my temple "You are nothing but an empty skull" she snarled on my face.

I imputed every she said like I have always done 'am nothing but an empty skull' she managed to get in my head again like always.

My father spoke up "It either you go to him since he is the heir because what we want is heir and their money or you go back to Xander"

The mention of his name only brought fear to me, I knew they will end up calling his name out. "No, no please i...i will get Justin please I don't want to go back to him you don't know the things he did to me" I begged

"Those it look like we care it either Justin or him get that?" He said I nodded "Even if he has done something to you did it not make you live in luxury, your elder sister Vivian and Rafela aren't you all in money, one married to a rich guy, the other dating a rich guy and one still here growing soft" He frown.

"Valentina you end up thanking us in the future" My mom gave me a fake smile "Now we going and make sure you transfer money into our account today bye"

They both left the kitchen leaving me with my thought, like always they have managed to succeed in getting in my head.

All because of Lisa is refused to dupe her brother, she is the only friend I have and I felt happy with her but to avoid my parent wrath and from going back to Xander i have to get Justin but that will only cost me my friend.

Fuck now I need a drink, I plan on going to a club get drunk and find a hot guy who will fuck away my worries .

Present

The sound of a voice speaking through a speaker buzzed me off my vivid memory "We about to land can everyone please be seated and kindly put on your seatbelt"

Seating up straightening my back I yawn out feeling drain from the long hours journey. Technically am on the run to Texas.

Yes! Texas, running away from my family and those important to me 'Lisa' I regretted what I did and am trying to get away from them. I hurt Lisa the most and the guilt alone kills me, for that one of her fear being friendly to her just to be with one of her brothers and that what I had plan on doing taking use of her weak point, but it later became a genuine friendship that I choose to drop my plans I had for Justin but the pressure of my parent made me had sex with him 'which was once at the ball' and made my plan on destroying his marriage with Victoria.

Oh I sounded like a bitch and feel like one with I am. Am one hell of a wicked bitch and I regretted it.

There are lot of things I regret, I regret been born in my family cause they turned the good innocent and pure girl to a selfish wicked bitch, I regret what I did to Lisa, I regret having two wicked sisters, I regret what I did to Justin and Victoria or should I say the Smith's family I brought my f**ked up life to their family, I regret been born, I regret lot of things but I don't think I'll regret ever getting pregnant.

The baby in my womb gave me hope gave me life, gave me faith that there is still lots more joy in life outside my troubles, I felt joy in me since--forever

Well partially that not the only why I left. Eric is one of the reasons. It was one hell of a work trying to escape the guards he had put in charge of my every moment probably to prevent me from running away.

You can see as that turned out to be.

Thou, I know what am doing is wrong taking his child away from him I know he will be pissed but I don't want to get married for a baby's sake I have seen how it always turns out to be in the end.

I don't want to use the baby to pull Eric down, he is a playboy and am pretty sure all his life he has always run away from commitment all and him proposing a marriage will be like tying him down, even if am a bitch I can't do that it will not only hurt the both of us but also the baby and I can't cause my baby harm.

The walls I built around me helps a lot I shields my heart and mind from people not making them take any advantage of me, I toughened myself from the wicked even if I were to ever see my parent I won't let them get to my head ever again because there is hope for me, my baby.

There is more. I hope there is and at that.

'I'm sorry Eric' Tears ran down my cheek as I stare out the little window watch as we land, all these while my hands never leaving me stomach.

Eric POV

"What the hell do you mean you can't find her" I yell at the Donald on the other line as I pace around the large wide office "I sent you to watch over her and here you are telling me you can't find her, have you lost it?" I asked him feeling agitated.

"Sorry boss one minutes she was here then the next she isn't, she just sneaked out from me" Donald said already feeling scared for his life.

"If you know what good for you find out her location" I cut off the call pulling my hair already feeling tired.

Valentina knows how to push my button well. How dare she just take my child and ran off, oh she will so pay for this even if it the last thing I do.

Shit!

Why did she do that? I had plans for us, plans I had never expected to go through in my life until I met her. Why can she see I mean good for both of us including the baby.

I head over the high length overseeing window watch from up where I stand as people walk around the busy street side. But my mind couldn't be more further. No matter how hard I try to forget for a while about Valentina's disappearance I find my thought coming back to her.

A sigh escape my mouth as I move towards my desk pressing the intercom "George get in here"

The chime of the large sliver door opened after a few seconds filled the room. A average height man at his 20's step in with his with shirt and black trousers, his ginger hair, punk style hair and round face.

"I need you to cancel all of my schedules today" I spoke to him already taking my suit from my office chair and lifting my briefcase, standing up to gaze at him reassurance.

"Yes sir"

*********************

Chapter 2

The fury of her disappearance was still boiling inside when I got back home. The silence of the house was killing me, normally I always have a girl or two spend a night with me but with my upcoming child I choose to drop my ways. And now Valentina is nowhere to be found with this said child.

I sigh when I got to my bedroom, I decided to take a short nap while waiting for Donald's call

I woke up by the sound of my phone ringing "Yes?" I answered immediately when I noticed it was Donald "Have you all found her?" I questioned eagerly.

"Yes we have sir" he hesitantly replied.

"Then where is she?" I sat up on my king size bed while waiting for his answer.

"She is in...Texas" he finally replied.

I jumped out of my bed "How dare she travel with her pregnancy?!" I yell at the phone. I huff before replying "Get ready with the others we are going to Texas in three hours" I cut the line not waiting for his reply.

I sat on the bed pulling my hair in agony and annoyance "Oh Valentina you so getting spanked for your action" I murmured making sure to keep that as a promise.

I went to my closet packing as much clothes as I can cause it looks like I will be spending a lot time in Texas.

An income call came through my phone, I pulled it out of my pocket and answered when I noticed it was Justin my elder brother.

"Eric" his deep voice came through the other line "I was starting to think you have forgetting about me" his words made me smile despite my current mood.

"No never, why would I" I smartly commented.

"Well you can prove that by coming over with the boys and I at Bens" he spoke out.

I sigh feeling bad for the statement that are about coming from my mouth "I'm sorry but I can't make it"

"Why" he asked

I pinched my nose together "Valentina ran away to Texas" the line became silent the only sign that shows he was still on the line was the sound of his soft breath.

"Are you still with that her?" Justin ask at the other side.

Justin and Valentina kind of have a history together. Justin cheated on his wife Victoria when they both got married newly with lot of woman including with Valentina but things got terrible when Valentina clams that she was carry Justin's child which is actually mine to begin with. Justin and Victoria marriage was at risk but Victoria's forgiven heart made things easier. Those two are in love but they are too blind to see it.

"Justin please I don't like it when you call her names for god sake she is the mother of my child and my soon to be wife" I understand Justin's hatred towards Valentina but he shouldn't call her names especially not in front of me.

"You know.." He paused for a while "..you find good in some people that can never be good and that's going to get you in trouble one day. Well the reason I called you has already been answered I will see you later after your trip to Texas" he said

"Yeah bye" I spoke. It seems like that his way of saying safe journey.

"Bye" he then cut the line.

Well I think It's time to go.

Chapter 3

Valentina POV

Today seem to be a quite day for me as I make my meal to eat. The baby wanted pancake and pancake is what I'll make even thou I have no idea how to make one.

I put in a pan full of Olive oil on the cooker then put in my uncooked liquid pancake. After a minute I pulled it out and put it on the plate beside the cooker. I continued this procedure till I made up to six.

Now feeling satisfied with what I made, I tried take my first bite which immediately spit out.

What the hell!

I screamed in my mind.

That the worst pancake I have ever made. The pancake was tasteless and too oily. Am certain it the worst pancake in the world.

I cursed the day I didn't learn to cook or my mum didn't taught me to cook.

I glance around the kitchen to find it messy. I head towards the cupboard to check if I could find anything to eat but I found nothing.

I was immediately in the beck of tears. All my hard work were wasted and am very hungry, if the world were made of pancake and was given to me, I would consume it in one goal.

I just simply need a pancake, is that too much to ask.

I head towards my bedroom to lie down and let death take me because it impossible to heard to the store right were I am.

One, the sun is too bright. Two, the store far from the ranch I rented my apartment from. Three, am to weak to move from here.

I lay on the small bed that was on one side of the small bedroom.

Staring at the ceiling, I lifted my hands to my four months old stomach "I'm so sorry for bringing you into my messy life" A drop of tears fell from my eyes.

It all my fault if I didn't listen to my parent and try destroying Justin and Victoria's marriage and also betraying my friend Lisa, I wouldn't be here would I.

The taught of me not carry my baby scares me. The hope alone is what keeps me on but right now am not so sure.

I had to choose Texas to run to because it the least of place my parent and sisters will find me. And hopefully Eric.

Why do I feel like I've betrayed him.

He has nothing but be kind to him and I only betrayed him by running.

Let me tell you running wasn't easy for me with the way he had to surround me with his bodyguards.

I had no choose but to run away when he said I had already planned our marriage. Which I can't accept, I have seen what a marriage without love ends up like and what it can do to a child and I don't wish it upon my child.

I cried till sleep over took me.

***********

A knock on the door brought me out of my slumber but I was too weak to move.

Who could it be? I weakly taught

The dryness of my mouth made me unable to speak or see clearly, it seems the hunger has already gotten to me.

I was unable to lift my hands and legs...

"Valentina" A voice shouted from the front door "I know your in there and you can hear me" I don't know why but his voice brought a living joy and hope to me.

The knock stopped which made me scared immediately has he left.

"No, p-please don't go" I quietly and weakly spoke out but I doubt he would hear me.

As if he heard my pleas a bang was heard on the door like someone was forcefully trying to break-in.

The door immediately made noise of breaking "Valentina" The male voice shouted.

"I don't think it right to break into someone's private space much less break my door, you owe me money for the door" Another male voice was heard.

"Shut up and I'll pay I just felt something is wrong here,I can feel it" The male soft voice said.

My breath was seizing and black dot was about clouding my sight trying to welcome me into darkness. I thanked my star that I didn't lock my bedroom door.

The door to my room immediately opened revealing two tall men. One which I recognized as Travis the kind man who rented this apartment to me.

"Valentina" The other male voice immediately panicked. He moved to my side lifting my head up to him arms "What happened?"

"Hungry" That was what I could only say.

"You're hungry? Oh my god Valentina open your eyes" He tried shaking me to keep me awake.

"I can't" I weakly said

"Valentina!" He took me to his arms.

"I'm sorry Eric I'm sorry" I quietly said then darkness immediately took hold of me

"Valentina!
