The Robert Sisters

Chapter 38

Karen's POV

Charis went on to tell us how Cameron has been beating Valerie at any slightest provocation.

I didn't know my sister was in an abusive relationship and how she managed to fool us all baffled me.

"I think Valerie has a hidden agenda," I stated as I paced around the hotel room. "Because I don't get why she still wants to marry this abusive man even when she knows he has a child with his ex wife and with me, her half sister."

"We just have to think of possible ways to stop this union." Erica said, and I nodded in affirmation.

"I think we should let her know we're aware of my boss's dark side and make her see reasons why she shouldn't walk into such marriage." Charis who had been silent finally suggested.

We were coming up with different ideas when my phone started ringing in my bag.

"A minute please," I excused myself to go answer my phone. "It's Valerie!" I showed Erica and Charis my phone. "Should I take it?"

"Yes,go ahead."

I clicked on the green answer button and put my phone on my right ear.

"Hey,where are you?" Her voice was low.

"I'm at the office." I lied.

"But I don't see your car."

Wait! She's at my office?

"Uhmm-I'm close by." I lied again.

"Okay. I want to see you, I'm outside your office." She said before hanging up on me.

"I've got to go." I told Erica and Charis, " I think she wants to talk to me about something. "

"Alright, we'll be waiting."

"I'll keep you updated." I took my bag and car keys and left.

************

I was sitting at the front passenger seat in Valerie's Benz. We've been seated for over fifteen minutes and I was getting impatient so I decided to break the silence.

"You know, if I didn't know you're someone's bride to be, I'd mistake you for an under cover agent or an assassin." I teased her about her dressing.

She was dressed in a black leggings, a black long sleeve turtle-neck shirt which she pulled up to her nose,a face cap,a hoodie and a black sun shade.
She slowly took off her hoodie and face cap to reveal her messy blonde hair.

Why was she showing me her messy hair?

As if she read my mind, she flipped her hair to the left, revealing a minor cut just below her right ear.

"What happened to you?" I asked her,having little faith in Cameron that he wouldn't have given her that cut.

She took off the sun shade and pulled down the turtle-neck shirt she used to cover her mouth and I gasped.

"What the hell happened to you Vee?"

"He did this to me." She managed to say in a coarse voice.

"He? Cameron?"

She nodded.

"Oh my God! This is too much." I said as I assessed the damage done on her flawless skin.

Asides from the cut, her face was badly bruised and there was a small cut on her lips. Her cheeks swollen and she had a black eye.

"I need to get you to the hospital first then you'll tell me how it all happened."

She transferred to the passenger seat and I took over the steering wheel.

"Is this the first time?"

"No. I lost count."

Charis was definitely right. We got to the nearest hospital and in no time, a nurse was attending to her.
After patching her up, one of the doctors on duty came to me.

"We just disinfected the wounds and she's good to go. I already prescribed an antibiotic ointment and pain killers for her. She needs plenty of rest and she'd have to come back after two days to redress the wound under her ear."

I thanked the doctor and paid the bills. We left the hospital and on our way to the parking lot, I quickly updated Erica through a text message.

Guys why do you think Valerie opened up to Karen this time?
