Love and hate story.
What will happen when Valentina meets the culprits of her parents' death and falls in love with their daughter, Elizabeth Olsen?
Will their love be strong enough?
Will Valentina take revenge?
I went to the lawyers' office, we worked all day to find evidence that my family is innocent, luckily for us we found a lot of that evidence. That felt like a breath of fresh air.
We worked all day long, I didn't have time to think about Valentina or the stupid party she's planning to throw tonight but once I got home she was all I could think about.
I still can't understand how she made everything feel so real, every look, every word, every touch, every caress, every hug and every kiss. Everything felt so genuine.
My chest hurts, my head hurts, my heart hurts, everything in me is in an agony of pain that I can't explain, my face burns from the salty tears streaming down it.
I haven't eaten all day and I'm not even hungry, it's like my body is numb and all I can feel is pain.
The only thing that makes me feel better is knowing that tomorrow at the trial we will win, my family will be free and we can do everything we can to get the company back into our hands.
I took my phone and went on IG, it was flooded with pictures of Valentina, she did a red carpet before entering the party, she was smiling at the cameras holding hands with Chace, she looked happy. As they were being photographed together she was looking at him with the same eyes she used to look at me. With love, but this time it's true love.
He gave her a kiss on the cheek and they started walking to the media, there the video ends, enter another video where she is doing an interview.
X-"Valentina congratulations on your new company". V-"Thank you very much". X-"This used to be the Olsen's company, didn't it?" V-"Yes, I guess they saw my talent every time I helped them with designs and ideas". X-"That's great, I see you're in very good company." V-"Yeah, Chace is an amazing company." X-"You guys are together?" V-"Yeah, we're dating"
That's all she says, Chace takes her hands and then they head to the entrance of the party.
She's a fucking liar, she didn't say she stole our company taking the opportunity for me to send her the papers my dad had to sign and she tricked him into signing her dirty papers.
The fact that it only took her one day to get back with Chace brings me down. She has studied each one of my family well, because she has known how to break us, she has put a dagger in my heart that is impossible to pull out.
She knows that seeing her with Chace is destroying me and she also knows that if my family sees me like this they will be destroyed too, she is very smart, she is playing with our feelings and emotions. The theft of the company is nothing compared to what she is doing to my heart and my family's heart.
A few hours later Kim uploaded a story of Valentina dancing and singing at the top of her lungs. I threw my phone on the bed in frustration. What a piece of shit. - Valentina's POV.
I can't lie I'm in a good mood, the party was a success, I invited all the workers of the company, I wanted them to feel that they belong and that they are all equally important. My family was also there along with some of my friends who were in town.
I am finally back with Chace which makes me very happy, I feel like life is finally giving me what I asked for so much. I am making my parents proud and that is what matters most to me.
The party ended and I went straight home, in a couple of hours it's the trial and I'm a little nervous to see the Olsens. Elizabeth said it wasn't her family who did business with my parents but a guy named Franco but I didn't believe her, I heard perfectly well when my parents talked about the Olsens.
I woke up and went to get ready, today was going to be a day full of emotions, I chose an outfit for the occasion and left my house.

When I arrived at the trial site I was met at the entrance by my lawyers, luckily there were no paparazzi, we have managed to keep this trial as low profile as possible.
We entered the room where we were summoned, I saw all the Olsens sitting at their table except Elizabeth who was in a chair behind them.
My lawyers and I sat at my table, I felt like throwing up and incredibly nervous. I don't know why I feel this way, I have wanted this to happen for many years.
I saw David get up from his table and come over to mine. He was standing in front of me, he gave me a kind smile, there was not a hint of hate in his eyes which surprised me.
"Good morning" he said extending his hand for me to take. "Good morning" I said coldly and took his hand shaking it. "I would love to be able to hear your full name" "I'm Valentina Bustamante" "It's a pleasure to meet you Valentina Bustamante, and I'm so sorry for what Franco caused"
I felt my eyes fill with tears, I don't understand why he is not hating me right now, I took everything they had and destroyed his daughter.
The trial started, we presented all the evidence we had but it seemed weak compared to what the Olsens had, they explained that they were never in charge of doing the business of the company at that time, when all that happened they were living in New York which made it impossible for them to be here in LA.
They showed evidence that who had done business with my parents was Franco, and fortunately for them, they were able to get Franco brought to trial today.
Franco accepted that he had been the one who had done the business with my parents by passing himself and his wife off as the Olsens. Hearing all that made my heart shrivel.
I am so confused, I was in floods of tears as the trial continued. I just stopped listening to everything they were talking about. The trial ended with the Olsens being found innocent and Franco and his wife going to jail.
The Olsens celebrated their victory and I left the place as quickly as I could. -
Lizzie's POV.
I am so happy right now, my family is finally free, the real culprits are in jail and I am no longer alone.
"So what's the plan to get the company back?" I asked my family. "Lizzie dear. While we were locked up we made the decision to do nothing" my dad said. "What do you mean? We can't let her steal our company." "Honey, it's the least we can do for her, she has been through pain that we will never experience, we will be fine, but she only has that company to remember her parents by and I'm sure now she is in a cloud of confusion because of all the information she heard today." "Ugh I don't understand why you guys are doing this" I said angrily. "Sis she is hurting, she did all this because she doesn't know how to deal with the pain she is feeling" Ash reasoned.
I stormed out of the place furious, I can't understand how they have forgiven her so easily and quickly after everything she has done to us.

I don't think Valentina was ready to know the truth of what happened.
