Revenge Of The Cannon Fodder Villainess

Chapter 151 - Fight (4)

Knock knock.

While carrying Luca, Valentina knocked on the door of the sitting room.

As Kaiser opened it, he took one look at the red eyes of both her and Luca and felt his heart twinge.

"I came to bring him back since we've said our goodbyes. My ride is here, so I'll be heading out. Thank you again for everything so far. I'll be sure to pay you back tenfold."

Valentina bowed her head to him before walking in and placing Luca on the couch without looking at the doctor. As she began walking out, Kaiser grabbed her hand and led her out the door before shutting it.

"Valentina, wait."

"Yes, Mr. Grayson?" she quickly pulled her hand away before turning to look in his general direction.

Hearing her polite tone and seeing her blank eyes that weren't even looking directly at him, he felt completely out of his depth. He didn't want them to separate like this. Or ever. He had messed things up, wasn't sure exactly how, and didn't know how to go about fixing it.

"Let's talk about this. The words I said this morning...it wasn't supposed to come out like that......"

As he paused, Valentina snorted.

"Mr. Grayson, I'll be honest. I really, really, really don't want to talk right now. Or ever. If I open my mouth, a lot of words I shouldn't say will come spewing out. Or I'll scream and scream without stopping. Or maybe punch you in the face. I don't like to argue, and I don't particularly like screaming or hitting people, and I don't want to be ungrateful for everything you've done for me so let's just stop here."

"Then do so. Curse me out. Hit me. Scream at me. That's fine. Anything is better than being shut out like this and you just...leaving. Valentina." His hands naturally reached out to grab her waist, pull her closer, and sink his head into her neck, but one look at her cold eyes and he stopped himself.

"I need space and time to process things because I think...I think it was a mistake to get so involved with you. I don't think you understand how hurtful your words were, and I don't particularly want to explain if you don't understand especially after all the times you told me to depend on and trust you. Let's just take it as a learning experience for both of us, call it a spring fling, and get over it. Thank you again for hosting me so far. I appreciate everything you've done and will repay you back. You have my number so that you can contact me about anything important about the lawsuit. Just let me know if you're canceling it or if I need to sign anything or send you payments. I'll continue my part with Luca until our contract is over and then figure out how to cancel my contract with Black Rock on my own before heading over to Platinum Entertainment. Have a good rest of your day, Mr. Grayson. I hope we don't meet each other again."

She bowed her head, her green eyes not once looking at him directly before turning and walking out. Rio glanced between her and Kaiser before walking her out to the car.

After making sure she was settled, Rio walked back into the house and caught Kaiser's narrowed eyes.

Narrowing his own, he nodded at the man. "Let's talk."

"Sure, come with me." Snorting at the audacity of the man, Kaiser led him into a rarely used sitting room far away from Luca.

As the two men stared at each other, one resting against the window while the other leaned against the door, Kaiser lazily looked Rio up and down, smiling at the scowl on the other man's face.

Maybe it was his bad personality rearing up but he felt as if somebody had delivered a punching bag in his time of frustration. Wouldn't it be out of character for him if he didn't put the man circling around his girl in his place?
