LOVE AGAIN

“She is sleeping. If you have a message to pass to her, I can…”

He interrupted.

“Very well let me have a word with you, are you coming?”

He said and looked up at me.

I felt a bit of cold feet, I wonder if this is part of their traditional rites or something.

“I will be right behind you”.

I closed the door and walked to the bed.

“Angel?”

I kissed her shoulder, she made a low sound and stretched.

“I will be right back”.

I whispered and walked out of the room.

***VAL’S POV***

I opened my eyes after being unable to go back to sleep after that loud knock on the door, I stretched and crawled out of the bed.

I walked into the bathroom and freshened up.

Getting back to the room, I wondered what my Uncle must be discussing with Prince for an hour now.

I decided to text him, I couldn’t find my phone on the couch, my eyes wandered around the house then found it on the table.

It was switched off, I wondered why Prince did that, no doubt he is the one who did it.

I put my phone on to text him about the situation then a caller came on the screen.

It was Luke, how on earth did I still have that phone number on my phone. I ignored it but he sent me messages tons and tons of messages flooding my inbox to pick up my call and the most annoying part. He put a pleading emoji and crying emojis.

I sat down on the couch, stared at my screen for minutes then finally made a decision to hear him out.

“Hello, what do you want?”

I replied coldly, giving him the impression I am not in for any kind of friendly conversation.

“Hello”.

He sounded like he was crying.

“Thank goodness you answered Val, how do I say this.. Val.. I am the most useless man on earth for hurting you Val.. I understand if you hate me now but Val..”

“Go straight to the point or I will hang up”I replied abruptly.

“I don’t want you back Val, I need you! I wasn’t myself all along, I could swear on everything important to me including my life. I have no idea what I did by marrying Kamsy. Kamsy cheated on me , she was manipulative and adulterous. The baby she is carrying isn’t mine, that is just the least of the pain I am going through”.

I felt a bit sorry for him.

“Now what do you want me to do Luke , you said she was a better woman, now do you expect me to come back to you”.

“Remember how we used to be before Kamsy, I have no idea what might happen if you say no, but I am not giving up on you Val, you are mine and mine. Mistakes happen and I have learnt my lesson the hard way, please have mercy Val, if not for anything for the sake of our first love”.

I quickly dry the tear that dropped down my chin to my neck.

“Luke this is too late”I sobbed.

“No it’s never too late baby, no it’s not, what we have is stronger than time and seasons, please meet me at Redvelvet hotel, let’s talk about this”.

“Okay”.

I heard the lock opening , I quickly hung up and pretended to be scrolling through my phone.

Prince walked into the room.

“Am I in heaven? No way there’s an Angel in here”.

I smiled at him.

“You are right and that Angel is approaching me this minute”.

He walked close to me then studied me intently even though I was faking a smile.

“Something’s wrong”.

He quoted.

I shrugged and looked around.

“What? Do I have a pimple on my face?”

He sighed and sat down on the bed beside him, then took my hands.

I put my phone by my side praying he doesn’t get possessive and try to check it.

“I am sorry if you are upset about me turning your phone off”.

“Why.. why should I be upset about that”.

He raised a brow.

“Well your Danny was calling”.

I could tell that he meant that sarcastically, but still relieved he is worried about Daniel and not Luke if he gets to find out about Luke calling and my agreement of meeting up with him all hell will be let loose.

“Danny is just a friend and you know that Baby, more like a family actually”.

He looked at me then smiled softly.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“I trust you Angel, but I can’t say for Daniel”.

I opened my mouth to convince him more about Daniel then his phone rang. It was surprisingly Daniel.

I was the one who picked it up and identified the unknown number for him.

Prince glanced at me, looking confused about Daniel calling him. I shrugged with my hands spread to signify I have no idea about Daniel’s reason for calling him.

Then he answered.

“Hello”.
