Chapter 28: Chapter 28

Valeria had just returned home from school. The moment she got to her room, she locked the door, so as to prevent Ergon from coming in. She knew he'd be there any moment. She left the school premises earlier before him, all just to avoid seeing him.

She threw her bag on the bed, and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

Shiella was sitting in front of the mirror in her room, doing her makeup, when her door opened and Noah walked in.

"Noah?" She called in surprise.

Noah went to sit on her bed. Shiella put down the makeup brush she was holding, and turned around to face him.

She raised her brow in a questioning manner, without saying a word.

"Hi mom."

"I'm surprised to see you here, and I know you wouldn't come to see me if it's not something important. So, tell me, what's it you want?"

Noah was the type who hates beating around the bush, so he just went straight to the point.

"I want you to fire Erica."

"What?"

"And why would I do that?" Shiella questioned with a frown.

"Because I don't like her mom, I want you to fire her," Noah repeated.

Shiella thought she didn't hear him clearly.

"Excuse me?Do you even hear yourself? You want me to fire her just because you don't like her? You've got to be kidding me, Noah," Shiella uttered.

"Anyways, I won't do that. Erica has done nothing wrong, and just because you say so doesn't mean I'll fire her. Erica has been with us for years and you expect me to just fire her like that. No Noah, I won't do you such a favour. "

"B—"

"No buts, Noah," Shiella interrupted.

"I won't fire Erica and my decision is final! Get it?" Shiella said sternly.

Noah stood up angrily, he stared at his mom for a while, and she also met his gaze, as if daring him to try going against her words.

"Fuck!" Noah muttered. He walked out of her room and slammed the door so hard.

"What has gotten into Noah?" Shiella said to no one in particular.

She shook her head sadly, then turned to the mirror and continued applying her makeup.

*****

Valeria was in the kitchen with the other maids preparing dinner when Ergon walked in. He walked straight to Valeria, and grabbed her by the hands.

"What the hell are you doing, Ergon? Let me go." Valeria whispered, trying to pull her hand away from his.

The other maids glanced in their direction in surprise. Meanwhile, Erica was boiling inside.Her hold on the spatula tightened. She felt like going to them and pushing Valeria away from Ergon.

"He should be holding my hand, not Valeria's!" She mentally screamed in her head.

"You'll be coming with me." Ergon said, and dragged Valeria along with him.

"I don't want to, let me go!." She half yelled.

"Don't make this harder than it already is, just come with me willingly."

"Fine! Let go of my hands then." She said and he immediately let her go and she trailed behind him.

Ergon's mind was already made up, he wouldn't back down. Valeria is his girlfriend and he'll never let her ignore him.

"Where are you taking me to?" She asked the minute they got to the stairs.

"To my room, of course," Ergon replied.

"No I don't—."

"You're coming with me, Valeria," Ergon interrupted.

Valeria heaved a sigh and went along with him.

When they arrived at his room, he pulled her to his bed so she could sit on it. He sat next to her, facing her direction.

"Why're you avoiding me?" He asked.

"Not again!" She mentally groaned.

"But I'm here with you. Does this mean I'm avoiding you?" She asked.

"I know what I am saying, Valeria. Don't make me look like a fool." He scolded.

"Indeed you're a fool," She mumbled.

"What did you say?" Ergon asked because he didn't hear her clearly.

"Nothing." She replied.

Ergon stared at her and heaved a sigh. She's really getting on his nerves.

"You said you weren't my girlfriend, right? What is that supposed to mean?" He asked.

"Can you just stop bombarding me with so many questions?" She wanted to say, but she decided against it.

"We're too young to be in a relationship," she replied.

Ergon scoffed.

"Who said so? Is there an age range for dating? Tell me, I wanna know." He asked inquisitively.

"I'm not in for this, Ergon." She said and she made to stand up, but he pulled her back down, and she fell on his lap.

"What the heck!" She half yelled, and struggled to get back up, but he pulled her down again.

"What's wrong with you, Ergon?" She asked, quite angry.

"Let's just stay like this, okay?" he said and she calmed down a bit.

But she wasn't comfortable sitting on his lap. She felt like she was sitting on his dick.

"Valeria, you know I love you, right?" He asked.

"I don't!" She debunked.

"Do you need me to prove my love for you?" He asked.

"I never asked you to do so." She replied and hurriedly stood up from his lap.

She wanted to leave his room, but Ergon immediately stood up and grabbed her hands.

"Ergon, just let me..."

Her sentence was cut short the minute Ergon pulled her closer to himself and slammed his lips on hers.

Valeria's eyes immediately widened, she was too stunned to protest.

Ergon wrapped his arms around her waist and tried deepening the kiss, but he couldn't because she wasn't giving him access to her mouth.

Then he did the only thing that came to his mind. He bit her lips and she gasped, unknowingly giving him access.

Valeria felt his tongue inside her mouth and that was when she realized he was kissing her.

She pushed him away, but he didn't budge. He held her tightly to himself and kissed her passionately.

This time, she lost her willpower to resist him and so she gave in to the kiss.
