Chapter 237 - Pair Of Lovers

Name:The Villain Author:tanu_sam
"Thank you," The pretty girl said. "Nobody was willing to help." She heaved out a sigh. "They thought I was some sort of scammer or a thief" 

Persephone smiled at her. "How could someone as pretty as you be a scammer or thief? I haven't seen thieves wearing branded clothes." 

"I'm Diana," The girl laughed and extended her hand to shake.

"Persephone," She replied as she was about to shake the hand, she saw Nash dashing through the door and before she could even think, Gabriel was on the ground with Nash trying to punch him. If not for Valencia who slapped Nash hard on his face, he would have succeeded in hitting Gabriel. 

"Oh shoot," Persephone whispered. "My first time at being a cupid failed." 

"Apparently," Diana smirked. "But I suggest you watch the scene with a drink. The story is going to be interesting from here."

"Then, I shall treat you to a drink," Persephone grinned, ordering a drink for the lady. 

… 

"What the hell do you think you are doing here, Nash?!" Valencia shouted at her, ignoring the looks she was getting from everyone there. 

Oh, she had no time to get embarrassed. 

Nash had never thought one day the woman he loved the most would slap him for another man. The man she just met yesterday. What happened to her? Yesterday, she was hitting Sara for kissing him and now when he lost control of his emotions because she went out with another man, he was suddenly wrong. 

Why was she always right? 

And is he always wrong? 

He accepted that he was rash as fuck! But that was who he was from the beginning. She knew this, didn't she? 

Now why was she behaving as if she just get to know him? 

"Everything is wrong," Nash shouted back. "Everything is fucking wrong with me. It has been wrong since the day I broke my damned leg and asked you to fix it. Now my heart is breaking and no one is here to fix it." 

Gripping her shoulder, he asked, "You know I am not good with words? I say the wrong things at the most wrong times. I don't know what is wrong with me." 

"You are hurting me," Valencia whispered. 

Nash cursed and threw a glare at Gabriel who was sitting on the seat as if he didn't cause a chaos in his life. His eyes darted to Valencia and rested on the little black dress that she was wearing. She never dressed up like this when she went on dates with him. Hell, it was never a date. Just casual dinners as she had said. 

"Do you hate me that much?" Nash asked Valencia. 

"You are creating a scene," she told him.

Nash sadly smiled at her, "At least I know that I am creating a scene. What are you doing? Do you even have any idea about it? Why did you lead me on if you never wanted me in the first place?" 

Valencia opened her mouth to say something but no words came out. 

"Say the words and you will never me again," Nash said with that painful smile. "Say you don't feel anything about me. You were not jealous of Sara. You don't care if I stay or leave." 

"Say the words Valencia and I will leave you right this away," He said again and Valencia just stood there, frozen. 

Suddenly, tears started pouring out of her eyes. She didn't know what to say or do. If she told him to leave and what if he never came again? All of a sudden, the thought that she would never see him again almost made her heart stop breathing. 

Yes, she felt the same way as he did. Or maybe, she felt too much. She got attached too easily. People eventually leave and she still can't move on. 

She loved Jack with everything she had to offer but he left the world way too soon. And she loved Nash too. But what she felt for Nash was completely different from her feelings for Jack. Her feelings for Jack had patience and endless devotion but for Nash? It's an unbridled feeling, she couldn't explain in simple words. Feral possessiveness of marking him as her. Unable to keep him away from her eyes. She wanted him too badly. But she couldn't have him. If she had him once and then he left, she wouldn't be able to survive. 

Nash was a simple guy. He lived his life without any baggage and she had nothing but baggage with her. What could she even offer him? She had the responsibility of a son and younger brother. He could have any woman in the world. 

Nash was better off without her. 

She shouldn't have agreed to this blind date but she said yes for Persephone. Gabriel, he was a funny man. He told her straightly that he didn't have feelings for her and was merely doing a favour to Persephone. This was the reason why she let her guard down before him and Nash misunderstood the whole situation. 

"You are better off me, Nash," Valencia finally found the voice. 

"Come on, Valencia, don't give me this nonsense," Nash sneered. "This is not a fucking movie. This is real life. Don't say that you come with emotional baggage or whatsoever! Do you think I don't know I will never be your priority? I knew this! I knew from the beginning that I can't take Santiago or Cameron's place in your heart ever. Hell, I am sure even Villain had a higher place than me in your heart. But I don't want that. I just want a place for myself. It didn't fucking care how tiny it is. If you can't make me your priority then let me make you mine?"

His voice was loud and piercing but the meaning of his words softened her heart. "I don't care what kind of past you had as long as you add me in your future!"

"We stay oceans apart," Valencia then said. 

"I will quit my job here," Nash said. "I am sure His Majesty can find someone to replace me. I'm fine being a small-time entrepreneur. As long as you promise that you will share your home and bed with me, I will move with you right this second." 

He threw another glare at Gabriel when he heard a snicker. 

"I don't just want to be the girlfriend you once slept with and dumped another day," Valencia whispered as she looked up to meet his eyes with a smile on her face. 

He laughed and took a step ahead to hug her. "Of course, not baby. You will become my wife if you accept me. I will try to be a dad to Santiago if he would let me. And last but not the least, I would like to be Villain's brother-in-law." 

Valencia cried and laughed as she hugged him back. "You are not allowed to back off once my brother kicks your ass." 

Nash didn't reply as he twirled and kissed the hell out of her in the middle of the restaurant. Gabriel booed first and then everyone joined to support the pair of lovers. 

"Now. Now. Guys. If you would let me speak," They turned to find a grinning Persephone coming their way. She threw keys at Nash who catched them effortlessly. "I booked a honeymoon suite for you both. Run before my husband comes!" 

Nash laughed as he picked Valencia in his arms and ran towards the exit. "You know what, Villain's Red?! I think we are going to get along just fine now." 

Persephone rolled her eyes as she tched him. The honeymoon suite booked by her would witness a day and night full of passion. Ah, she felt so good just imagining it. 

"I can't believe what just happened," Diana laughed. "You are one sneaky little thing. " 

"Lord save me. I hooked my sister-in-law with a man my husband doesn't approve of," Persephone sighed out. 

Diana laughed at her. "Aye, I was wondering if you were single." 

Persephone gave her a flirty look. She raised her hand to show her the ring. "Got a husband and a baby at home, darling. You are too late." 

Diana moved to peck her cheeks but Persephone moved as she saw a brooding Alpha coming her way and the former's lips landed on her lip, widening her eyes. The next moment, Persephone felt her getting yanked by her waist.

"What the hell was that?!!" Santiago thundered, staring at his wife. His face was dark and the pulse on his forehead was throbbing. 

"I..I.." Persephone had no words to say. It was a mistake. She wanted to tell him. 

"You were cheating on me," Santiago accused her. When the said words hit him, he repeated them again. "Persephone, you cheated on me!!" 

Persephone's eyes widened funnily as she shook her head frantically.. She turned her head to look at Diana to explain to Santiago but the girl was gone.
