LOVE AGAIN

**VAL’S POV**

I never wanted to go in there, but why would she lie that the boss wanted me in?

“He said he never called for me”

I replied to the assistant with arched brows.

“So do you see how touchy they’re, they are like a couple. Will you sit back and watch another woman take your man?”.

She whispered.

I was shocked at the same time offended, how the hell did she get to know about my entanglement with Prince.

“Excuse me..”

I snapped back at her.

“Don’t deny it , I knew it, I accompanied him to buy those gifts for you the other time”she replied and winked.

“Well that was before, now everything’s changed okay, stop all that gossip and face your work, and I can’t be fighting for a man, who chooses what he wants”I snapped back angrily and went back to my corner.

I overheard my other colleagues gossiping about me.

“Someone said some trash about our boss and someone who I will not mention being together with,”Jennifer started.

My heart raced, I pretended to be busy with my work, I held my mouse but my nervous fingers kept shaking.

“Together? what please don’t make me puke, it’s gross, someone like a boss and that thing. He is dating Noona Phillips , look at his girlfriend, she got everything and class, I don’t blame him when he didn’t fall for Jennifer, she is not his class at all”Kamsy replied and they laughed.

“Seriously I have given up, I can’t compete with that beauty queen”.

They laughed out again.

I tried not to cry, then I heard footsteps approaching, I didn’t bother to look up.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Noona walked to my desk, her guards stood behind her.

“You are Val”.

I looked up and nodded at her, she slapped me so hard I thought I would go blind for a second. Whisperings filled the room.

My mouth opened in shock , I held my cheek and looked at her, she was smirking, standing confidently with her purse held by two hands raised above her waist.

“You know why I did this, don’t you?”she raised a brow in a sarcastic way.

My fists clenched tightly but she got guards waiting, Daniel isn’t here to defend me, the thought of him brought tears into my eyes.

“Also I gave you my designers, why are you not wearing any of them ungrateful bitch, anyway you are always welcome to ask for more, and know your place”.

I glared at her blinklessly and she was holding my eye contact daring me to do my worst.

“So she now borrows clothes?”

I heard someone whisper.

Noona looked satisfied with the game she played, she went ahead and took pictures with my other colleagues except the assistant then she walked back out of the company.

A thunderous laughter filled our department. As much as I tried not to cry, I ended up soaking the documents on my desk.

I picked my bag and left the office, another thunderous laughter broke out in the room.

**DAN’S POV**

I was out of wine, I took the last gulp from my wine glass then glanced at the pictures Val and I took on many occasions.

“Letting go is hard, why doesn’t she care about my own feelings!”

I shouted , I think I was a bit drunk. I struggled to get up but ended up falling back on the chair.

My phone rang.

“Helloooo hello Val”..

“This is Nona Philips”.

“Wrong number…”.

I replied and wanted to hang up but she cut in abruptly.

“I want to talk to you about Val, and Prince”.

I suddenly stopped and listened.

“Meet me at the great harmony hotel at 10pm tomorrow”.

“Why should I , tell me here and now”.

******Later that evening****

I decided to warn Val about Noona Phillips, she sounded so desperate and won’t mind buying me with any prize I offered.

“Dan please maybe this is for the best”.

She said getting a drink from the fridge.

I stared at her, I knew she wasn’t telling me the truth.

“This is for the best? Are you going to forget about Prince”.

To be frank I hoped she said yes.

“She slapped me in front of the whole office staffs then went on and toasted me for taking her damn designers, I am not cut out for all that drama, you should see how pathetic I looked back then Dan, if only you were at the company”.

She sobbed.

“Now listen, no matter her offer I am not going to work with her to hurt you, all I wanted you to do for me Val, fight for yourself, Dan won’t always be there”.

She looked up at me sadly.

“If you really loved him, you should fight, if you won’t she will fight you and she is desperate enough to kill you”.

Her eyes widened at that statement.

“You need to scare her off, Val”.

***VAL’S POV***

That evening I went to Prince’s place thanks to Dan.

I couldn’t have had the courage to do it. I got to the house and found Zoey all alone.

She was playing with a maid.

“Sweet Valerie!”

I was glad she didn’t pretend to not know me or maybe got her mind fed with lies to hate me.

I hugged her tightly.

“I missed you Zoey. so much”.

“I missed you too, since you left it has never been the same, that Noona she hangs with Frog Prince and never gives a damn about me, it makes me sad, tonight they are out at some hotel , Queens hotel he said, possibly going to sleep over there”.

She said sadly and took me by the hand to her brother’s room and went ahead with the complaint, looking for something I can’t tell, finally she found a box from his wardrobe and came to me.

“Sweet Val, please tell me you are back to stay”.

I smiled at her.

“Yes I am”.

She jumped excitedly and brought out a ring from the box.

“This is yours right?”

It was the ring Prince put on my finger while I was sleeping at Dan’s house. I nodded and let her put the ring on.

“I promise you Zoey, Noona days are over”.

“Yes, that’s my wonder Valerie”she smiled and hugged me, I petted her hair.

“But first I need to eat those cupcakes”.

I said to myself and glanced towards the box of cupcakes on his table.

****PRINCE’S POV***

“I can’t let her sleep alone Noona”.

She rolled her eyes.

“She had been sleeping alone for years now, can’t we have this night for ourselves frog”.

The hotel register glanced from one person to the other and smiled awkwardly.

“Please we will take the presidential suite”.

Noona told her and smiled at me.

“Noona!”

A familiar voice yelled from behind us.

We turned to the direction, I thought I was hallucinating, Valerie?

What is she doing here and how did she find us?

“You.. how dare you call my name like that, are you crazy!”

Noona lost it faster than I thought.

Valerie smirked and walked to me without saying a word to her, grabbed me on the collar before I could say a word.

She kissed me so deeply that everyone watching froze at the spot.

I didn’t stop her or kiss her back, with my eyes wide open I was as shocked as anyone.

After the kiss she was smiling broadly at me.

“Take me to the room is stead of her baby”.

I spotted the cake icing on her lips, she winked and laughed excitedly.

“You’re my man ain’t you?”she pouted and made a sad face.

She ate the cake, not good, not good, I said in my head.

“You slut!”

Noona pulled her out from behind me to slap her but I stopped her.

Surprisingly Val slapped her hard on both cheeks, I didn’t see that coming in any angle, she was about to jump on Noona when I held her back in the air, damn she is so strong.

She kept kicking and throwing her tiny hands in the air, small but under the influence of that drug she is beyond my control.

Noona stood shocked to death with her two pans on her face, cheeks soaked with tears.

I pulled stubborn Val by the waist.

“You are his past, I am his present bitch! Get a life! We are married, spot the ring finger!”

She showed her finger showing the ring then her middle finger and laughed with her tongue out.

So chaotic!

“He is my husband, she is a husband snatcher! Pathetic bitch!”

She told all the concerned couples staring at us and pointed at Noona.

“Val!”

Calling her won’t help she isn’t herself, she kept kicking and cursing at Noona.

Who must have had the shock of her life being embarrassed in a popular place as the the Queens Hotel. I carried her on my shoulder, she kept screaming at Noona till I carried her into the suite and slammed the door breathing heavily.
