Chapter 29: Chapter 29

Ergon smiled when Valeria didn't resist him anymore, he deepened the kiss, and held her tightly to himself.

Valeria wasn't much of a kisser, so she just followed his lead.

The door to Ergon's room pushed open, but since they were both too engrossed in the kiss, they didn't notice that someone was already in.

Noah's eyes almost popped out of their sockets when he saw Ergon kissing Valeria. His jaw slowly dropped, he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

He stood transfixed, watching both of them kissing each other passionately. His blood was boiling with rage and hate. He bawled his fist, and his fingers dug into his flesh, blood slowly oozed from the cut, but he didn't even realize the pain he was feeling at that moment.

As he stared at them, all his hatred was directed towards Valeria. He hated her for choosing his brother over him, he was the most handsome among them, and yet, she chose Ergon. He just couldn't continue watching them, else he might end up doing something stupid to both of them.

He left the room angrily, not bothering to close the door. He left the door wide open.

Erica, on the other hand, was coming up the stairs to see what Valeria and Ergon were doing. Noah suddenly walked past her, his face red with anger, and he didn't even spare her a glance.

"What was that?" She said to no one in particular.

She shook her head. Whatever happened to Noah is none of her business, in fact, she didn't care a single bit. Who she always cared for was Ergon.

She walked quickly, and when she arrived at the passage, she saw Ergon's door was wide open, she creased her brow in a frown as she slowly approached his room.

When she finally arrived in his room, what she saw shocked her to the bone.

Ergon and Valeria were kissing. In a state of anger, she unknowingly screamed Valeria's name.

"Valeria!!!."

Valeria and Ergon both disengaged from the kiss, and quickly turned towards the door where she stood.

"Erica." Valeria called in shock.

Ergon didn't seem to bother about it, he didn't even care at all if she had seen them. He had no reason to worry since she was a maid in his home.

Erica stared at Valeria disappointedly, and when she looked at Ergon, her eyes held nothing but pain in them. This made Ergon quite confused. Why would she look at him like that? It was as if she was accusing him of something.

A small frown appeared on his face, but disappeared at the same time.

"E...E...Erica." Valeria stuttered.

Erica's gaze moved from Ergon to Valeria.

She gritted her teeth as she stared at Valeria.

"Erica listen..." Valeria was about to explain, but Erica wasn't having any of it, she turned around and walked away.

"Erica!" Valeria called. She was about to chase after her, but Ergon quickly stopped her from leaving.

"Where are you going to?"

"I need to go talk to Erica." Valeria said, and before Ergon could say anything else, she jerked her hand away from his, and ran after Erica.

Ergon sighed deeply, he would have loved to go after her, but he decided to let her go. He walked to his bed with a huge smile on his face. At least they had a good kiss.

The kiss he shared with Valeria kept on replaying in his head over and over again. He would have loved to kiss her some more had Erica not interrupted them.

Speaking about Erica, the look she gave him didn't sit well with him. Why would she look at him like she was judging him?

Anyway, it was none of his business. He shouldn't be bothered about how a maid looked at him.

He closed his eyes, and began day dreaming about himself and Valeria.

****

Valeria ran after Erica as she walked downstairs.

"Erica, please wait, it's not what you think." She felt guilty even though she did nothing wrong to Erica.

When Erica finally got down the stairs, she turned around to her.

"It's not what I think? What do you expect me to think, huh? That you're not having sex with Ergon?" Erica blasted.

Valeria's immediately went wide with shock.

"I..I... I'm not sleeping with Ergon, it's just complicated. Actually, Ergon and I are-"

"One more word from you and I'll inform Madam Shiella about this." Erica said, interrupting her.

Valeria wanted to explain everything to her, but she wasn't giving her the chance to do so.

"I'm sorry, please don't tell me to ma'am Shiella, I'm really sorry." Valeria pleaded.

"I never knew you could be this dubious. I'm sure Ergon is fucking you." Erica accused.

"Please Erica, just stop all this. Don't make me look bad. I'm trying to explain things to you but you won't let me. You just keep on insulting me." Valeria felt so frustrated with Erica's accusations.

"You just came here, Valeria, and you're already being used as a sex toy. I'm so ashamed of you. You are still underage, but you are hell bent on destroying your future."

What Erica was saying no longer sounded like advice to her, Erica was literally insulting her, and it didn't sit well with her.

Valeria decided to leave Erica's presence by walking to the kitchen, but Erica yanked her hair and pulled her back.

"I'm not done talking. Stay the fuck away from Ergon," Erica warned. Valeria didn't fail to notice the serious look on her face. It felt like she was being threatened by Erica.

Valeria winced painfully, because Erica's fingers were literally digging into her scalp.

"You're hurting me, Erica." She groaned.

"I'm hurting you? Well, this is just a tip of the iceberg, more would come if I ever see you close to Ergon, not to talk of kissing him." Erica threatened.

Valeria had had enough of her threats. She isn't the type to be bullied by someone. If she continued giving in to Erica, she definitely wouldn't stop harassing her.

"What if I insist on seeing Ergon? He's my boyfriend after all!" She stated and she forcefully pulled away from Erica's hold.
