Collective gasps escaped their lips and they widened their eyes in disbelief. A mont later, Toria collected herself and thought. ’It must be Rex’s card.’ Not only her. Her friends also believed it was Rex’s card, so their jumpy hearts cald a little.

Toria paid for her things and left with her friends who wouldn’t stop bugging her.

"Toria, it’s high ti you set things on another level with Young Master Rex! That lady is doing way more than any lady has done. Imagine, Rex gave her his unlimited black card! What the f*ck does that an?!" One of them said when they got into the car.

"Toria, I agree. Don’t be a pushover and silently watch Rex throw your goodwill away. I an, you are kind and have been patient with him even though he has broken your heart tis without number." She sighed. "Stop behaving like a good wife and speak up!" The other lady added.

Toria massaged her temple. "You two," she hesitated, then sighed and continued. "Since when have you started getting jealous over other people’s things?" She turned to look at them. "So what if she has Rex’s black card? Haven’t I been given more than enough?" She signed again and turned her face to look outside the window. A few monts later, she continued with her eyes still looking outside. "Count your blessings and not what you can’t control."

Toria loves Rex so much that she was ready to hide her feelings for him for years. The day she started to love him was the day she had a traumatizing breakup with her ex-boyfriend and went to a bar.

As she was drinking, soone approached her and wanted her for the night. She bluntly refused but it didn’t sit well with the person, so he called his minions to take her away. As she was being dragged away, Rex got involved and rescued her.

She’s an orphan who had her inheritance stolen by her relatives and was left with just a little to last her for a few days. She had already gone for auditions at different agencies before her parents passed away, however, she was rejected due to her relatives getting involved.

Rex found her a second ti when she went to a bar again to drink away her sorrow. She was the last person in the bar and was really drunk. The bar n were lost on what to do, so when Rex ca down from the floor he was on and saw her again, he took her to a hotel and booked a room for her. In her drunken state, she almost ruined their reputation, but Rex being a good guy, took her to the bathroom and left her under the shower to sober up instead of taking advantage of her.

Even though she almost crossed the line with Rex, he didn’t leave her alone after that, he approached her a few tis and they started dating. She had thought he wanted to ask for her body like he usually did to girls he fancies. (They thought he sleeps with girls) but instead, he gave her the fa and the riches she needed. They only dated for a month and so days before he stopped coming. That was three years ago.

She couldn’t say they dated for three years because he only stayed with her, made her feel like they were dating for a month and 5 days before they beca strangers. When she called him, he asked her to stop calling him but didn’t withdraw the privilege of presenting herself as his girlfriend in public, nor did he stop funding her account.

To this day, Toria couldn’t wrap her head around why he was still being kind to her when they’d indirectly broken up three years ago.

Even though she feels that they aren’t dating anymore, her best friends refuse to believe it. They kept insisting that she was still in a relationship with Rex, provided he hadn’t said the break-up line.

Although she could also be blad for her friends’ illusion because she didn’t tell them the whole thing that transpired between her and Rex, which was why her friends keep making these things up in their minds.

...

Jeslyn entered the house to see Valen by the entrance, probably waiting for her.

"Child," she called but he turned his face away and pressed the button on his wheelchair, and started to move to the dining room.

"Are you mad at , honey?" Jeslyn asked as she followed him but he didn’t respond.

She smiled and got in front of the moving wheelchair. She thought he would stop it but instead, he turned to the side, avoiding her.

"Little Valen, mummy is sorry for coming late. I know I promised you three hours. However, there was so much good stuff that I lost the knowledge of ti."

Hearing that, Valen’s face turned unsightly. He was mad at her for breaking her promise and instead of apologizing, she was telling him that ’good stuff’ was more important than him. Bad parenting! He scread in his mind.

"I’m very certain you’ll like the good stuff. They are prettier than the ones we bought in Rose City." Jeslyn smiled.

Valen turned his head to the side to take a proper look at her. She was all smiles. ’Why is she smiling and saying he would like the good stuff she bought for herself? Do I look like her husband who would admire everything she wears?’ he scoffed.

"There are beach wears too. They’ll look good on you. That I promise."

Valen whipped his head up suddenly. "You got so for ?"

Jeslyn paused for a mont. "Of course, I bought things for you! How could I go shopping and not buy things for you?"

A smile found its way to Valen’s lips. "Ok, I’ll see the clothes later. I asked the kitchen to make sothing for you as you might be hungry. The food turned cold and..." he sighed.

"Aww... my child is so considerate." She pressed the button on his wheelchair and carried him in her arms.

Valen blushed, feeling embarrassed.

"You are more considerate than your papa... don’t tell him." She chuckled.

Valen smiled and for the first ti, he kissed Jeslyn on the cheeks. "You are better than him." He confessed.
