PAST!
Valentina walked upstairs to her room and opened it. She walked inside closing the door behind her and walked towards the other side of the bed. She sat down on her ground and curled herself in the ball.
Tears started falling down from her eyes as she couldn't control herself in that situation.
She didn't at all expected that she will end up in this situation but she did finally... And it became complicated to her right now because right now, for her... One mistake can cost her the whole Jackson companies for her... She did something which she never expects it to do... Things just happened the way she never expected. But finally, she got her first success in this unexpected way... But she knows that unexpected way might can lead her to many things that she doesn't want to do it but she needs to for her father's business and she knows that this kind of deserves this kind of punishment once in a while. Valentina is so sure that few of a shareholders are listening to someone else out of the company and thinking to not give any chance to her but she isn't sure about who it is... She wants to do t on George because whe was the one who gave an idea about selling the company to him. But she isn't sure... Because he might do it for just the sake of we lack backbone for the family. But the thing that makes her think again and again is that she saw the camera in hed father's personal office. She searched his whole Home personal office last night but didn't found any kind of footage. Even their highly secured locks in his gadgets, she thought to make it open as soon as she gets a chance from her shareholders. She tried to ask his PA about the camera but it was totally out of her mind that she forgets about the camera checking the files in his office. Valentina got up from the couch and grabbed the phone from the table and dialed Anthony's PA. She answered the call in 5 rings.
"Hello." Mari said on the phone.
"Hello, Mari. It's me, Valentina." Valentina replied on the phone.
"Umm... Yeah, Ms. Jackson. Tell me... Do you need any help?" Mari asked.
"You are so good at offering a help everytime, Mari." Valentina answered making Mari frowned.
"I am sorry." Mari said.
"Dad has a Camera in his office. Huh?" Valentina asked.
"Umm... Ye... Yes, Ms. Jackson." Mari answered.
"And why is it?" Valentina asked.
"I don't know, Ms. Jackson." Mari answered.
"Come on, Mari... You are his PA. Why wouldn't you know about it?" Valentina asked.
"I really don't know about it, Ms. Jackson. I just know that he has a camera in his office. I don't even know where is it!" Mari answered.
"Aww... You are so innocent, Mari." Valentina replied making Mari frown.
"Umm... Ummm?" Mari stuttered with a frown.
"Alright... I need you to be at the company early morning with all the staff. Do you get it?" Valentina asked with a professional tone.
"Yes, Ms. Jackson." Mari answered.
"Good." Valentina replied and ended the call.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. She wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes.
"Come in." Valentina said and the door got opened and she saw Elizabeth and Xavier behind her.
"Can we come inside?" Elizabeth asked and Valentina smiled.
"Yes, Aunt Elizabeth." Valentina answered as she smiled brightly. Elizabeth and Xavier walked inside the room with a smile.
They both walked towards Valentina and Elizabeth hugged her tightly kissing her forehead.
"You are so good, Valentina." Elizabeth said as she caressed her cheek making Valentina smile.
"I told you, Mom. That she will get this chance." Xavier said as he winked at Valentina.
"Thank you for your help... It will not at all possible because of you!" Valentina replied.
"Thank god you both supported each other." Elizabeth said and Valentina raised her eyebrows at Elizabeth.
"Mom knows everything." Xavier said making Valentina smile.
"Yeah... And it's a good teaching to them all... They need to understand to give a chance but hell adamant about not giving one. I support you in this, Sweetheart. Don't think that you did something wrong in this all... You didn't do anything wrong... You did what made you feel good and all this is for saving your company. They are wrong in this. Not you!" Elizabeth said with a smile.
"Thank you, Aunt Elizabeth." Valentina replied as she hugged her tightly.
"This motivation is enough from you for keeping me going on..." Valentina said.
"Of course, love... Come to me whenever you feel down... I will be there for you whenever you need me like always!" Elizabeth replied and Valentina nodded her head with tears in her eyes.
"What are these tears are for, Love?" Elizabeth asked and Valentina shook her head in no.
"I... I... Not even my own mom cared about me like you do, Aunt Elizabeth... Since childhood... You were there for me... You looked after me... You came to see me... And asked me how I am doing and if I eat or not... You were the only one that cared about me." Valentina said and Elizabeth caressed her cheeks and Xavier smiled seeing them.
"Even though you didn't dare to talk with me here when my da... I mean... Mr. Anthony is here... But still, you would have come to my school regularly to check up on me... I am just so grateful for you, Aunt Elizabeth. If not you, then I don't know... What would I do!" Valentina said as a tear falls down from her eye and Elizabeth chuckled.
"Val, you are such a good girl... It just that your dad wanted a boy because of the companies he had. He didn't at all thought that you. As a girl can take up the companies and manage it... But now, you need to prove that whatever he thought was wrong and can manage it so well... I will love you former because you are a girl who is so close to my heart... I will be your mother and will guide you in everything as a mother does to her daughter. Okay? And I am so sorry that I couldn't talk out for you in front of Anthony. Because I don't have any right to meddle in your family business. But I used to be so happy when he used to show that fake love on you at few business gatherings... If those few minutes of love were that great then imagine his love you get for the lifetime... But unfortunately, it's of no use talking about it... Because your dad is no more in this world." Elizabeth said and Valentina nodded her head in yes.
"Thank you so much for everything you are doing for me, Aunt Elizabeth. I will ne really grateful for you and yes, I will come to you whenever I need you. And thank you for understanding me as I am... You really have a big heart, Aunt Elizabeth. Xavier is so lucky to have you as his mom." Valentina replied with a smile and with tears.
"Idiot... You can call me mom too... But your mom will get jealous..." Elizabeth said as she chuckled.
"I know... I can call you and I don't care about her anymore... She is no one to me." Valentina said.
"Val, didn't she apologized to you yet?" Elizabeth asked.
"She did..." Valentina answered.
"Then, didn't you forgive her?" Elizabeth asked.
"How do you want me to forgive her so easily, Aunt Elizabeth? She is not a mother... She is... A... I don't even want to talk about her right now... She is a woman who changes with situations. She doesn't look at who is suffering so hard with her mistakes but she only looks after herself. She even tried to sell off the company... Do you think, I will forgive her so easily?" Valentina asked making Elizabeth and Xavier sigh.
"It's fine, Val... She apologized at last..." Valentina cut off Xavier in mid-sentence.
"I will never forgive her for her mistakes. She called me bitch. She called her own daughter a bitch and I will show her my bitchy side from now on... I will make her cry every night from now on... In the same way, she made me cry from the past 18 years." Valentina said.
"It's her time to suffer now!" Valentina said making Elizabeth and Xavier sigh.
"Val... We know that you understand everything so well than anything... But from now, you need her and she needs you... So, just try to understand her situation too and be gold with her." Xavier replied.
"I don't at all need her, Xavier... I don't need her... She was not at all there with me when I need her... But now, she came to me apologizing because she needs me... Alright, I will be there for her whenever she needs me... But no, I am not forgiving her at all in this life." Valentin said with a stern face.
