LOVE AGAIN

A STEP DOWN



***NOONA’S POV**

I opened the door and Zoey ran to me, I was surprised she was being nice to me instead of angry as always when I was dating Prince or flirting with him.

“Baby you okay?”

I whispered and patted her bag as we tightened the hug.

She nodded, I smiled at her and glanced up at Valerie. She didn’t even make a move when someone entered the room, I am not good at this, I have never had someone talk to me in this manner I was about to except Daniel. I promised him I will do my best.

“Valerie, sweetheart he will be fine”.

She looked at me in tears.

“Are you sure Noona?”

I was a bit relieved and smiled back.

I released Zoey and went to her.

“The culprit is on the run but I promise I will do everything in my power to make sure he is arrested”.

I assured her.

“The culprit?”she asked in surprise.

“Your ex Luke, in the country I will see it and make sure he will never leave the country to get into another, I placed a mouth watering price too, the police are doing their best also, so you see , you will get justice for this, you don’t have to worry”.

She threw herself on me and cried.

“Thanks Noona”.

I emailed back.

**VAL’S POV**

It was another day, I didn’t want to see Prince yet, because I can’t imagine the pain he was going through at this moment , all because I came into his life, the headlines and social media came up with so many heartbreaking stories.

After what Noona said, I was a bit relieved but the doctor saying that he might be temporarily blind broke me, so I decided to end my life.

Zoey walked in and I quickly put the blade down.

“You tried commiting suicide again ?”

She asked crying

“Zoey.. you are a kid… it’s the best thing for me, don’t ever try it, you have people who you can live for, I don’t have, it’s better to join my parents”.

“Is Prince and I not enough for you”.

“Look what I put you two through, you almost lost your life and Prince just looked at him, what condition is worse than that”.

A nurse brought Prince in with a wheelchair.

I quickly tried my tears and took over from her, she smiled and let go then closed the door behind her.

“You didn’t want to come see me, why?”

He asked, smiling broadly.

I can see he is trying to make me feel less sad and bad about myself, that made me even more emotional, I tried not to cry.

“Hey you don’t have to worry, it was just a burn I will get surgery”.

He replied and smiled again.

I burst into tears and hugged him.

“How have you been?”

He whispered.

“I am fine, also the doctor said our baby is okay, the sharp pain was bad but I am feeling better now”I said trying to be positive too.

“Does this change your feelings for me?”he giggled.

“How could you say that!”

I snapped angrily.

“Why did you want to take your life then , you promised me, you will always be here”.

He asked this time with a serious expression on his face.

I looked at Zoey , she must have told him about mg sucide attempts.

“I am sorry Baby, I just …I think I caused this”I cried.

He use his fingers and searched for my eyes then he wiped them dry.

“No matter what, we will always be together, I am not the only blind person, so I can live with it , I am just happy, it’s me and not you or Zoey, I am man enough to survive the pains, I can’t stand if you are the victim”.

I kissed him and he cringed in pain.

“Does it hurt so much Baby?”I asked concerned.

“It’s okay, just a little bit”he smirked.

He used his fingers to search for my lips this time, then kissed me.

“Zoey!”

Zoey joined us.

“I love you rat,”he sobbed.

“That’s rude frog Prince”.

She snapped, it made me and him giggle, he called her rat so she could tease him too.

EPISODE 38

**VAL’S POV**

Prince got discharged a week later, we are yet to go for the surgery procedure for his face as advised by the doctor. I had my check ups too amc I was given medication for my baby’s health.

So that hot afternoon, I had told the cook to let me take over the kitchen. Some minutes later I heard an unfamiliar voice coming from the sitting room. I decided to put my cooking on hold and check out what was happening.

Prince’s step mother visited, I was so excited and nervous, I can’t really explain my feelings at that moment. She looked so young and beautiful. She got beautifully blonde hair and blue eyes like Prince. Her designer outfit looked like it will cost my whole life savings.

She was asking Zoey some questions when she looked up and saw me standing there, my body stuffed with nervousness, she looked surprised to see me.

“Is that the new cook?”

She asked Zoey, I felt that.

“That’s sweet Valerie, frog Prince’s Wife”.

Zoey who was sitting comfortably on the couch beside her replied.

“Welcome Ma’am, Zoey told me alot about you, it’s nice to meet you in person, you look so pretty”I said with a soft smile.

The woman’s look always shows his disinterest. I nervously dried my hands on my gown and went for a handshake. She hesitated and then accepted.

“And who told you she is Prince’s wife?”Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

She turned and asked Zoey.
