Chapter 10: Chapter 10

"Good morning, Señior," Valjerome's staff politely greeted him as soon as we entered the company.

I saw how their eyes analyze my being when they looked at me, examining my presence with their boss as if it is like seemingly strange. There are also others who simply murmured perhaps they saw the issue about us in the news.

Valjerome didn't bother to greet back. He just continued walking like he heard nothing from everyone. I quietly followed while Jaime and some of his staff were behind us.

I faked a smile and looked at where I am walking to. I was hoping in a few seconds. I was hoping that he would officially introduce me here in the company as his wife.

Who am I fooling with?

I am about to think that he was just jealous yesterday that’s why he announced our relationship. But I knew I would only make myself expect for nothing, he only did that to annoy Chaos. That’s for sure, that’s the truth.

"Fvck!" his voice brought me back to my senses as his hand touched my forehead, securing it for a possible hit.

I blinked many times as I stared at the wall I was about to bump in. I slowly turned to my side where Valjerome was. He looked at me seriously even though his eyes were dim. It was only then that I noticed that we were already in front of the elevator.

"Be careful. Look where you're going," he said calmly.

I swallowed twice then nodded softly. He removed his hand from my forehead and carefully grabbed my arm to pull me closer to him.

"Is there something wrong?" he asked kindly.

"Nothing, I am just feeling a little unwell, I didn't notice where I was walking on," I replied and forced a smile.

It's half meant though. I can still feel the tiredness and pain in every single part of my body especially my genital area. I just really insisted to come along because somehow...I want to make the most of this time with him. Moment when things are not wrong but they are really unusual.

Valjerome stared at me for a few seconds and then sighed. He pressed the elevator button and I was surprised at what he did next.

"V-Val," I stammered and clung onto his neck as he suddenly lifted me up.

"I'm sorry. I took you too hard last night," he sincerely apologized and walked inside the elevator.

I looked away at the same time as felt my cheeks warmed. I simply leaned onto his chest and gently shroved.

"It's okay," I murmured.

I did like it though.

Minutes passed and we finally reached his office. He carefully laid me down on his sofa. He stared at me for a moment then sighed.

"Do you want to go home? I'll tell Jaime to send you home," he said.

I shook quickly. "I'm okay. I'll just get bored at home." I secretly bit my lower lip because of my quick response.

Go on, Jazzie. Make it obvious that you really want to be with him.

"Okay. Do you want to sleep in my mini room?"

My brows furrowed. "Mini room?" I asked and roamed my eyes around.

There I noticed another glass door at the back of his working space.

"Is there where you sleep when you don’t go home?" I asked.

He simply nodded in response.

I was out of myself as I bit my lower lip and averted my gaze. "Do you...sleep with your girls there?" I murmured.

"Wife ..." Valjerome called kindly and touched my face to turned it to him. "I never let anyone entered my space here," he assured.

We stared at each other for a second until I averted my eyes. "I'll just rest here on the sofa. Do you have...a guest or a business to deal with?" I hesitated to inquire.

He didn't answer instead he took out his phone from his pocket and dialed someone on it.

"Cancel all my meetings for today," he said then ended the call.

My lips parted and got up quickly. I even winced at the sudden pain of my womanhood because of my actions.

"Why did you do that?" I asked, a little bit flustered and guilty.

"Just rest, okay? I'll just check all the blueprints for today," he said.

"But—" he suddenly gave me a peck on my lips for me to stop from talking.

"Rest, okay?" he spoke softly.

I could do nothing but nod in shock. He smiled at me and gently caressed my hair.

I knew, it's a sudden change, but I can't help but to wish...

"Please, stay like this," I said, almost whispered.

"HEY! You look like an idiot staring at nothingness. Is there a problem?" Azy snorted, getting my attention.

I looked at him on the vanity mirror as my stylists do their job on me, and smiled. "None, there have just been miracles that have happened to me lately."

Days passed quickly, it's been a month. One month already since I gave myself to Valjerome, since his treatment to me changed. Even though it felt strange, I just let myself get used to it and hoped that he was trying to fix our relationship. He doesn't take women home anymore. Moreover, he often sleeps next to me whenever he's not busy with the Mafia or at work. I feel like for three years we have only just really gotten married. Without a clear word from him I just hold on to the actions he makes.

"You're more blooming now, girl. Looks like Mr. Montevardo is really taking care of you," he snapped.

I stared at him even though I tried hard not to smile.

Yeah, he takes care of me now.

"Well, it nice that he lets you go now. I mean...this photoshoot with Mr. Chaos. Last time, he looked like a volcano that would erupt anytime in anger." Azy acted trembling for a moment as he hugged himself.

I chuckled softly and then slowly shook my head. "Actually, he doesn't like this. He really doesn't want to let me stay. I just insisted because of the contract," I explained.

"I know it's my fault but don't say it on my face, girl. I'm feeling guilty again," my manager Azy said.

I just laughed at him.

"Oh, go ahead. Just go outside when they're done with you. I'll just check the props outside." Azy crouched closer to whisper. "If you don't want to give your husband away, go ahead, his enemy is mine. He’s also yummy. He also has six fvcking packs.”

"Azy!" I shouted, embarrassed to what he said.

He just laughed and laughed, obviously, he really loved teasing me. I pointed at him from the reflection of the mirror and widened my eyes.

"Calm your d-ck down!" I hissed.

Instead of getting angry, he laughed even more. "On second thought, fine Jazzie. You're just mine." He winked at me afterwards.

"You are pure nonsen—"

"Then feel free to dig your on grave."

Azy and I were both stunned after hearing a familiar voice spoke from the doorway. I lifted my gaze and saw Valjerome standing from there, coldly staring at Azy on the mirror's reflection.

Azy hesitated to laugh and then slowly turned around. "I was just kidding around with Jazzie, Mr. Montevardo, “both fear and nervousness can be seen in my manager's voice at that moment.

Although I wanted to laugh at his condition, I chose to focus my attention on Valjerome.

"What are you doing here, Val?" I asked, confused.

All I know is that he has a lot of appointments with his company so I'm surprised that he is here.

Don't tell me¾will he stop this shoot again?

He fixed his suit and walked towards me. Azy made a big space once Valjerome passed him by.

"I'm here to be your co-model."

My jaw literally dropped. "W-what?" I repeat.

Valjerome didn't answer me instead he sternly looked at my manager.

"I want to be in their shoot."
