UNBREAK MY HEART : CHAPTER 21 – 40

CHAPTER 26
The drive back home was so silent with Ricardo staring out of the car window and Valentina pressing her phone.
The car drove into the mansion and parked at the garage. The driver opened the door for them to come down.
Ricardo turned his back and began walking into the house. Valentina stood there, looking at him.
“What’s wrong with him?” Valentina wondered and made a phone call.
“Sis!” Iris exclaimed from the other end of the phone. She was actually heading to her workplace.
“Iris, how are you doing? It’s day two and I miss you so badly” Valentina pouted, heading to the house.
“Me too Tina, but I don’t want you to come back early. You have to enjoy your stay there.” Iris said entering the bar.
“Wow thanks sis. So how is school over there?” Valentina asked heading to her room.
She spotted Myles and Minnie at the living room watching a cartoon.
“Well it is cool! I’m beginning to make new and cool friends though some are quite petty like Gavin” Iris sighed.
“Gavin? A guy? Is he handsome?” Valentina smirked.
“Don’t even go there” Iris warned.
“What?” Valentina laughed.
“Laugh all you can. By the way, don’t you think you and your boss make a great couple. I saw the picture where you two kissed, men it was great!!” Iris laughed
“Iris!! I was just drunk beside that will never happen again” Valentina said, removing her shoes. She laid down on the bed.
“Never say never. Gosh! I can already imagine you two at the beach, kssing and…”
“Bye!!” Valentina hung up before she could finish speaking.
“This Iris is a psycho!” Valentina thought.
“Looks like mom gave birth to a pair of psycho” Valentina chuckled and ached her brows.
“But why does everyone keeps pairing me and my boss together?! I mean, don’t they see the huge gap between us? He’s a billionaire almost all the ladies are crushing on him and I’m a nobody… How can he leave all those educated ladies who are way more pretty than me just to come and settle down with me…. Pfft, thats nonsense” Valentina kept talking to herself.
Valentina stood up and changed to her home wear. She wore a white top with a blue pair of jeans before leaving her room.
She got to the living room and saw the twins watching a cartoon titled “small foot”. She sat down in between them and began watching the movie with them.
Ricardo walked out of his room too, he changed to a simply shirt and black jeans. On his way out, he saw the three of them watching TV while laughing.
He turned and made to leave but stopped when he heard someone speak.
“Dad, where are you going!!” Myles asked.
“I just wanna tour around Paris” Ricardo smiled.
“Okay, dad. Bye!!” Minnie waved at him.
“Bye” He smiled and looked at Valentina who was also looking at him.
“Be safe boss” Valentina smiled and turned back to the TV.
He looked at her for a brief while before leaving the house.

NIGHTSHINE CLUB**
“Here’s your cocktail Miss” Iris served a lady and went back to the counter.
She began cleaning the glasses with a white piece of clothing. Once she was done, she picked a bottle of wine and turn to keep it back on the counter but halted when she saw Gavin standing behind her.
“What do you want now?” Iris said and rolled her eyes.
“What? My dad owns this place” Gavin shrugged
“I know, but the last time I checked you aren’t working here so what are you doing right here. Thought we had an agreement that we’ll not have nothing to do with each other so as to avoid war” Iris said.
“And you seriously thought I’ll respect that?! Come on! Me not pestering you is like a dog stop hating a cat” Gavin said.
Iris sighed and pinched her brows. She pushed him out of her way to keep the bottle of wine she was having in her hand.
She made to walk pass him when he held her hand and pulled her back. She yanked his hand off her body.
“Easy, I was just kidding okay? I just want us to be friends” Gavin smiled.
“Friends?” Iris crossed her hand and looked at him suspiciously.
“Yeah, promise I won’t pester you….well I’ll try not to” Gavin said.
“The way you’re suddenly nice to me. I’m I safe?” Iris asked.
“Hey Gavin! What are you doing there?!” Maxwell called.
“Coming” Gavin replied. He spotted a phone on the counter and then took it.
“Hey! Give back my phone!” Iris made to take it but he raised it up typing something on it.
Once he was done, he gave it back to her. Iris pun¢hed him on the stomach which he felt almost nothing.
“Weakling” Gavin winked and walked out of the counter.
Iris looked at her phone and then at him.
“I’m sure he’s planning something for me again” Iris mumbled.
“Who’s that cutie?” Maxwell asked, looking at iris.
“Well let’s say she’s my target” Gavin said.
“By target what do you mean?” Maxwell asked.
“Think for yourself” Gavin replied and began walking out of the bar.
“Hey! Wait up!” Maxwell followed behind.
Not quite long after, a car parked in front of the bar. The driver opened the door and Charlotte got down the car.
“Bye dad!” She waved and entered the bar.
Her eyes scanned round, searching for Iris. She smiled when she saw Iris.
At that moment, Iris also looked at her. She ached her brows, what she was doing here. Charlotte began walking to her.
“Charl, what are you-”
Charlotte hugged her before she could finish speaking.
“I’m so sorry Iris. Please forgive me, I didn’t mean all what I said to you last night. It was all out of jealousy, I don’t want us to be enemies… I’m sorry” Charlotte was already shedding tears.
Iris smiled and hugged her back too. She helped her clean her tears.
“Come on Charl baby, you’re too emotional. Of course I forgive you, was never mad at you… In fact I’m the one to ask for forgiveness, I broke our sis code. Should have never kissed Luca when I know you like him” Iris said.
“It’s okay, mistakes to happen” Charlotte smiled and hugged Iris tightly.
“Friends?” Charlotte muttered.
“Always be friends” Iris hugged her back.
Two arms came and wrapped them up…
“You’re doing the group hug without me. That’s not fair!!” Kimberly pouted while hugging them.
Iris and Charlotte chuckled.
“C’mon, I prepared a lot of cool stuffs for us today. Let’s go!!” Kimberly said.
“Wait, I’m still working!” Iris said.
Kimberly turned to Mr Peter who was busy with some clients.
“Can we borrow Iris for today. Please?” Kimberly pouted
“Sure young miss” Mr Peter replied and smiled.
“You’re too kind. That Mr Pete!” Kimberly pecked him and held iris’s hand.
“Done! Now let’s go!” Kimberly dragged her out of the club.

PARIS, 07:40PM**
Ricardo walked into a one of the club in the area. For about 3 hours now he’s been touring the city and now he decided to end his day in the club.
The music was blaring at each corners of the club. He quietly walked to a seat and sat down. With his casual wear it was quite hard to recognize him…
A server walked to him dressed in some skimpy clothes. She smiled se..ductively at him.
“What can I offer you handsome?” She smiled.
“Whiskey will do” He replied.
The lady left, making sure to shake her butt while leaving. Ricardo’s eyes traveled round the club.
Some where dancing, some were busy kissing and r©mancing themselves while some were simply sitting and fIirting around.
“I’m sure there are married men in this club. Busy having some useless bches, while their wives are at home worried sick of them. Such a rotten world we live in” Ricardo muttered bitterly.
A lady suddenly came and sat down beside him. Ricardo looked at her and looked away.
The server came and served him his drink then kept the bottle beside. He paid the server who walked away after winking at him…
The lady who was sitting beside him, came more closer to him making sure to press her bbs on his arm.
“Hey sxy, I couldn’t help but notice you’ve been sitting here all by yourself. I’m sure you need some good company” The lady whispered se…ductively in his ear with her hands slowly crawling to his thigh.
Ricardo simply stared at her, strangely his body wasn’t reacting to her touches. Something crossed his mind and then he pulled her closer by the head and slammed his lips on her.
The lady wrapped her hands round his neck, kssing him hungrily.
“Let’s just go to a room pretty boy. There I’ll-”
“Leave!” Ricardo said.
“C’mon hun”
“Leave now!!” Ricardo raised his tone abit. The lady scoffed and stood up, she walked away looking for another customer.
Ricardo continued his drink. These days he doesn’t understand himself any longer… He didn’t know for how long he stayed there

Valentina switched off the TV. She went upstairs to check up on Myles and Minnie. They were still sleeping soundly…
He closed back the door and went back downstairs. She looked out of the window and sighed. It’s almost 10 and Ricardo isn’t back…
Valentina sat down on the couch and brought out her phone then began surfing while texting with Kristina.
Few minutes later, she heard the sound of the car drive in the mansion. Valentina dipped her phone in her pocket and stood up then walked to the entrance.
Ricardo staggered upstairs to the entrance while holding his head.
“I shouldn’t have drink this much…my head hurts!” Ricardo muttered.
Valentina opened the door and Ricardo almost fell on her if not for the fact that he was holding on to the door post.
“Boss..!! You reek of alcohol” Valentina twisted her face.
“Just help me get to my room” Ricardo muttered.
Valentina nodded and placed his arm on her shoulder. She struggled and helped him walk upstairs.
She kicked open the door to his room and they both went in. Valentina placed him on the bed. She knelt down and helped him remove his shoes…
Ricardo kept rolling on the bed while holding his head. Valentina lifted herself up abit arranging the pillow properly under his head.
Ricardo stopped moving and now began starring at her face. He didn’t know whether it was the alcohol or his mind disturbing him but he raised his hand and then cupped her cheek.
That made Valentina look down at him, she looked at his hand on her cheek and tried to pull away but…
Like a flash, Ricardo switched their position such that he was on top of her.
“Boss…” Valentina called nervously, she was slowly regretting why she helped him.
“Shh…” Ricardo said with swaying eyes. He slowly began leaning.
Valentina shifted her head away from him more and more so much that the bed was almost swallowing her.
“Boss, no no no no” Valentina said and made to push him away but he pinned her hands on the bed and slowly claimed her lips.
Valentina’s eyes grew wider by the second. She was completely trapped under him. She could even taste the alcohol.
His hand found it’s way to her jeans and he made to pull it down.
Valentina came back to her senses and pushed him away with all her forces. She stood up and ran out of the room, her phone fell on the floor in the process.
Ricardo dipped his hands in his hair and sighed loudly. His head was still hurting like mad.
“Fk!” He muttered and closed his eyes drifting to sleep…
