Mr. President: You Are The Daddy Of My Triplets - Chapter 329

Chapter 329: 329- Flashback Ended

“I … I tried stopping you. You wanted to come here because we both were drunk. Your friends weren’t there to help you. I … I couldn’t…” she tried to suppress the hiccup, but he heard it, “I couldn’t leave you behind, all alone, in that helpless state.”

Rafael looked around and found a jug and a glass. He went there to pour water and offered her the glass, but she rejected it by pushing his wrist, “I don’t want it,” she sobbed.

“Listen, Val. I’m sorry. Ok! I …” he rolled his lips between his teeth, not knowing anymore what else to say.

“Your sorry isn’t enough,” she snapped and started crying again, “Now get lost!”

Rafael was surprised.

No woman ever talked to him like that. After spending the night with him, they were always happy.

They used to sleep with him, hoping that he would offer them a diamond ring the next morning but they used to get disappointed thoroughly when he used to offer them cash.

However, this one?

She wasn’t asking for cash. She was a middle-class girl who was saving her honor and virginity for her one and only one.

Rafael took it away. He snatched her right to decide if she wanted to do it before marriage or not.

“Valeire!”

“Rafael,” Valerie wiped her face and looked at him, “You shouldn’t have come here. I don’t need your sweet words. I’m not like others. Please leave and never try to contact me.”

When he didn’t speak, she brought a small smile to her swollen face, “I’ll be alright. Believe me. This is all temporary. Once I recover, I’ll move on. I promise. You are rich, handsome, and… everything. You’ll move on easily. I will too. Just leave, Rafael, and let’s not meet again.”

Rafael felt more guilty.

She was inviting him to exit the situation, taking every burden on herself. He met her due to her younger sister and then used her body for his desires.

What a classic piece of shit he was!

“Valerie!”

“Can’t you understand what I’m saying?” Valerie tried to control her scream, “Leave!” she pointed to the door.

Not knowing anymore what to do, he got up and looked back. She had hidden her face in the pillow and was crying again.

Swallowing hard, Rafael saw her with guilt and then spun around to leave the room. He came down with lightning speed and bumped into someone.

“Rafael?” Marissa tried to shake her head with a sweet grin, but Rafael didn’t have time for this, as that cute girl was the reason he was in this mess.

The innocent lass didn’t even know it. He was disgusted with himself. He was trying to run away from her and now her elder sister was ruined because of him.

Without uttering a single word, he left the house.

Marissa gave a fleeting glance to Rafael and then looked back at her mom, standing there with a confused look on her face.

“What happened, ma?” Mrs. Aaron only shrugged and mumbled something along the lines like

“We don’t know. Maybe we are about to get rich.”

Marissa heard her but couldn’t understand. Maybe Rafael had a fight with Val? She wanted to be happy but then scolded herself.

She shouldn’t have these selfish thoughts for her sister.

She went to her room to complete her homework while Valerie who was sitting in her room, was now smoking a cigarette.

She enjoyed the act as she had great trust in her acting ability.

“No matter where you go,” Valerie told herself, “You will come back to me.”

Later she was proved right.

After a few days, he did come back when she was busy at night writing her goals in a journal. One of her friends had told her that if a person repeats the same thing in their mind and in front of a mirror over and over, it eventually comes back to them.

Val wanted to test the theory. She wanted to see if the only thing that she was writing in the journal, would come back to her or not.

“Val!” Marissa called her name standing behind Valerie.

Valerie responded busily with a, “Hmm?”

That was a rare sight for Marissa. Seeing Valerie busy writing something felt good yet strange. Had she hit her head somewhere?

Had she taken admission somewhere?

“Rafael is here,” she informed her elder sister and felt Valerie’s body going rigid. She twisted her neck to eye Marissa and Marissa felt like the unshed tears had made her blue eyes look glassy.

“You alright, Val?” she asked in concern and heard Valerie’s teary chuckle.

“Not anymore, Mar,” she slowly got up from her chair and walked over to her.

They stared at each other for a few moments until Valerie closed the distance between them and hugged her tight.

Marissa wasn’t ready for the hug. She stood there in shock, her arms spread awkwardly to the sides.

Until she moved her arms to hug her back. Valerie was shaking a little.

Was she crying?

Marissa started moving back, “Val! Are you…”

Valerie quickly wiped her face and fixed her hair quickly.

“Rafael must be waiting,” she said before leaving the room in haste.

Marissa slowly went to the window and looked outside.

Rafael was waiting for Valerie, leaning his back to the wall, his one foot resting above the wall. Both hands were placed in his pockets.

As soon as Valerie went outside, he straightened and said something to her. Placing her palms on her face Valerie started crying.

Marissa knew that the couple deserved some privacy, but she couldn’t stop herself from staring at them. Rafael was still speaking, and Valerie was still crying until Rafael went to her and removed her hands from her face.

He said something again until Valerie started laughing while crying. Rafael pulled her to him for a hug and they stayed like this for some time.

Marissa felt like someone had not only stabbed her with a sharp knife but now the person was also twisting its end in her wound.

She couldn’t take it anymore and wanted to run away when Valerie raised her face and looked straight at Marissa. She was still hugging Rafael when she lifted her arm and showed Marissa a victory sign.

What was that?

Marissa thought like she was caught while stealing something.

D-did Valerie know all along that she also had feelings for him?

N-no. How was it possible?

Valerie had dropped her hand and was now saying something in Rafael’s ear. It was such an intimate act.

Marissa removed herself from there.

She couldn’t see it anymore. She didn’t want to cry over Rafael Sinclair anymore.

After that Valerie announced that she was engaged to Rafael. He even took her to meet his mom who was her only family.

Sticking to her word, Valerie paid her mom eight thousand dollars.

Rafael always treated Marissa in a friendly way, like a big brother. Ruffling her hair, praising her food, and discussing her career goals.

Everything stayed the same until his accident.
