Chapter 81: Chapter 81

"I'll be back," Valeria said to Shane.

"What? Where are you going to?" Shane asked.

Valeria gently removed Fred's head from her lap, then she placed it on the pillow, being careful not to wake him up.

When she'd done that successfully, she placed a kiss on Fred's forehead.

"I love you son, and mommy will set things right." She whispered with a small smile.

Valeria stood straight, then she faced Shane.

"Where are you going to Val?" Shane asked again.

"To see someone, you don't have to worry about anything, I'll be back soon. Just help me look after Fred."

Shane walked to Valeria, then she took her hands in hers.

"Hope you're not about to do something stupid Valeria, please, we'll figure something out, nothing will happen to Fred. I get the feeling that you're hiding something from me, please Val, don't do anything stupid." Shane said worriedly.

Valeria smiled weakly.

"You're so funny," She chuckled softly.

"I'm being serious here, Val. Don't try to act smart with me." Shane said sternly.

"You don't have to worry about anything, Shane, I'll be back soon. I just need to see someone real quickly, okay, so please, no more questions. Help me be with Fred until I return." Valeria said.

She kissed Schnitzels' forehead, then she left in a hurry, even before Shane had the chance to say anything else.

Valeria went to her ward, where she was kept when she had fainted before. She took her bag from the bedside table, then she took out her cell phone, as well as Noah's card.

Valeria sat on the bed, staring at the card in her hand, her head was spinning, too many things were going on in her head.

"Be my sex toy." Noah's words rang in her ears, and the rest of the things they had both said flashed through her mind.

"Yes Valeria, if you want this job so badly, then you must be willing to sacrifice something for it. Well, that's my condition. To have this job, you must be my sex toy, you're to satisfy my sexual needs whenever and wherever it's needed. Your body will literally belong to me and no one else's. This is my condition, and if you can't do this, then you could as well kiss this job goodbye."

"Read my lips, bastard. I'll never be your sex toy, I'll never!"

"Are you sure about that, huh? You should rethink your decision, Valeria, this isn't something you should say in haste."

"I'll never, mark my words!"

"I'll keep this card just to prove to you that I'll never call you or accept being a sex toy."

Valeria didn't even realize that she was already crying.

"Oh God, what do I do?" She cried.

"I'll protect you mama." She remembered Fred's words, and she cried even more.

When she had let out her tears until she was okay, she used her palms to clean her face.

"I'll do anything for my son, I won't let anything bad happen to him." She said with a fierce determination.

Valeria heaved a deep breath, then she copied Noah's number from the card he gave her.

"This is for my son," She said as she dialed his number, and he picked up after the third ring.

"Hello." She heard Noah's voice from the other end, and she balled her fist as the urge to punch a hole right through his face overwhelmed her.

"Hello." She said through gritted teeth.

"Where are you?" She asked.

"Excuse me? Who's this?" Noah asked, and she could note the confusion in his voice.

"It's Valeria, I said where are you?" She asked sternly.

"Still at the office," Noah replied, the excitement visible in his voice.

"I'll meet you there." Valeria said, then she hung up immediately.

She stood up, and she hurriedly left the hospital.

NM Investment Limited....

Valeria arrived at the company and the lady she saw the other day took her to Noah's office herself.

She got to his office and he was already standing, waiting for her.

"Why're you here?" Noah asked. He wanted to sound mean.

"I'll do it." She said and she bowed her head.

"Do what?" Noah asked. He already knew what she meant but he wanted her to say it herself.

Valeria closed her eyes and she reopened them, she sighed and she muttered under her breath.

"For Fred, I'll do this for my little boy." She mumbled.

"I'll be your sex toy." She slowly said.

"Look me in the eyes and repeat what you just said," Noah said, but Valeria felt like giving him a hot slap.

She slowly raised her head up and she stared directly into his eyes.

Even if she felt insulted by this, she had to do it.

"I'll be your sex toy." She said and Noah smiled.

"But I have my own conditions." She said and the smile on Noah's face immediately vanished.

"What's your condition?" Noah asked.

"You have to make a down payment," She said, and Noah was greatly taken aback.

"What do you mean?" Noah asked.

"I need 1.5 million dollars as a down payment before anything else," Valeria said and Noah sighed.

The amount of money she was called wasn’t actually the problem, he was just scared that after giving her the money she wouldn't keep to his demands.

Valeria could see the doubts in his eyes and she knew he didn't trust her.

"I promise Noah, I just need the money for something urgent." She said and Noah heaved.

He took his pen and he wrote a cheque, then he handed it over to her.

She took the slip and her mouth fell open when she saw the amount. He had just written a check for two million dollars.

She didn't know if she should thank him or just walk away because she knew he'd be getting something from her in return.

"The game has just begun," Noah smirked.
