{ PLAN GONE WRONG }
Valerie was done with her shoot so she decided to come pick Leo from his school.
Currently, she was standing outside Leo’s classroom, waiting for him to step out, other children were already coming out.
Leo walked out of the class looking sullen. Valerie smiled seeing him.
“Leo!” She called and Leo turned to her direction on hearing his name. He began walking to her and she smiled but the smile slowly faded away when Leo walked past her.
“Huh?” She rushed to him.
“Hey!” She called, holding his hand.
“Let go of me. Where’s Mister Kian?” He asked, squinting his eyes around.
“Mister Kian isn’t coming to pick you today. I will, so come let’s go.” She said and he rolled his eyes.
“Then I’ll wait for him, I’m not going with you.” He said and Valerie looked at him.
“Really??” She asked.
Leo didn’t reply, he only crosses his arms on his chest and went to sit on a chair, waiting for Kian.
Really??
Valerie walked to him and sat beside him.
“Why do you look sad? Did you get into a fight with someone in school?” She asked but he didn’t reply and Valerie pressed her lips in.
This is gonna be difficult.
“What happened? I promise to help you with it.” She said.
“Just go away.” He said after a short silence and her eyes widened.
Those three words were enough to break her heart. He was really pushing her away, her son was really pushing her away.
“Leo?”
“Don’t make a promise you can’t keep.” He said.
“So leave.” He added and Valerie chuckled lowly.
“Leo…” She called.
“Who made you a promise?” She asked but Leo didn’t reply.
“I’m not like the others Leo, I promise to fulfill my own promise.” She said to him, still no reply.
“Oh my gawd, what do I do to proof to you that I’m not like them?” She asked, touching her forehead.
She stood up holding his hand. “Come with me.”
“Where are we going?” Leo asked.
“You’ll find out soon.” She said, pulling him.
Leo eyes widened in amazement as he stared at the amusement park. He has never been to it before. All his life has just been from home to school and from school back home. If he had any other place to visit, it was his granny’s place and the only place his granny takes him to, is the shopping mall, boutique and restaurant.
He has always heard his classmates and friends talk about amusement parks and how fun it was but he has never been here. It’s his first and the feeling was unfathomable for him.
“Leo! Here!” Valerie said rushing back with two cotton candies.
Leo’s eyes shone seeing it and she smiled.
“Which do you want?” She asked and he chose the yellow one. She gave it to him while she took the green.
“You like it here?” She asked him as they walked, while eating the cotton candy.
“Yes.” She nodded and Valerie smiled.
“Come, let’s ride in that rollercoaster.” She said pointing at
“I’m scared of heights.” He said and Valerie chuckled.
“Really??” She asked him and he nodded.
“It’s super fun. You shouldn’t be scared.” She said to him and Leo stared at her.
He looked back at the rollercoaster and he could see kids in it, laughing wholeheartedly making him wanna try it out.
“C’mon, you don’t have to be scared. I’m next to you. Just close your eyes and let the pleasure rush in, okay?” She said and he nodded.
“Let’s go.” She said, taking him there.
They got on the rollercoaster and Leo clutched tightly to Valerie as the rollercoaster began movie again.
Valerie noticed it and turned to him. “Deep breath. Deep breath.” She said and Leo heaved a deep breath and they took off.
“Whoa!” He screamed in fear and Valerie wrapped her hands around him.
“Whoa!! Ahh! Mummy!!” He cried, jumping on Valerie, hugging her tightly.
Valerie chuckled, hugging him back as he buried his face in her chest, still screaming.
“Calm down Leo… I’m here.” She said but he shook his head still screaming and Valerie was trying her best to stop herself from laughing.
°°°
The rollercoaster ride ended and Leo could be seen, walking on his own towards the car with Valerie going after him.
He got to the car, and the driver opened for him. Valerie got there and sat beside him.
“Hey, are you angry with me?” She asked but he didn’t reply.
“I’m sorry. I just wanted you to have fun. Don’t be angry with me.” She pouted.
“I’m not angry Aunt Valerie.” He said.
“Then why don’t you wanna talk to me?” She asked.
“Coz you’ll laugh at me.” She said and Valerie chuckled.
“Really?”
“Yes. I’m scared of that thing. I cried, it’s humiliating.” He said, slapping his head with his small hand and Valerie laughed.
“You’re laughing.” He pouted and Valerie laughed even more.
“It’s funny, honestly.” She said laughing and Leo covered his face.
✧✧✧✧✧
They got home by past four, Jeffrey was already back, tho Valerie found it quite surprising.
Jane took Leo from her, to get him changed while she also made her way to her room.
As Valerie passed through Jeffrey’s room to hers, she could hear him on a call, his door was slightly opened.
She stopped walking immediately, to eavesdrop.
“Is that all you could find?” Jeffrey asked.
“For now, I’m still on it. Just decided to give you every details I discover.” He said and Jeffrey nodded.
“Don’t relent, call me when you find out something new.” He said and ended the call.
He looked at the file in his hand, it had Valerie’s name on it. He arched his brows, staring at it for a while.
Valerie knitted her brows in confusion. “Who is he looking for??” She wondered.
She heard door closed and she wishes back to peep in his room, he had gone into the bathroom, so she sneaked in cautiously.
Her eyes went to the file on the bed and she went collect it. Her eyes dilated in shock the moment she opened it and it had her name on it.
The only information on it was.
Name: Valerie Keys.
Occupation: Runway model.
Net worth: (not known)
Families, friends, background: (not known)
Countries visited: Switzerland.
What!!
Was he really digging into her, was he tryna get information about her??
Oh no! This is not good. If he does, he might find out who she truly was and also about her plastic surgery… No!
The bathroom door creaked and she immediately dropped the file on his bed and rushed out of the room.
Jeffrey came out of the bathroom shirtless, he went to search for something on his dresser and left after grabbing a container of a new shampoo.
Valerie rushed into the room panicking greatly.
She locked the door behind her and brought out her phone immediately, dialling Derek’s number.
He picked up immediately and as usual, she was doing FaceTime.
“You called just few minutes ago, it’s unusual for you to call more than two times a day.” Derek said and she shook her head.
“Dad, there’s a problem.” She said, worriedly.
“What’s it Madi?” Derek asked.
“I think Theo suspects me. I don’t know if he thinks I’m Madison but he just doesn’t trusts me, ion why. His digging into my lifestyle. Dad I’m scared, what if he finds out who I really am.” She panicked.
“Calm down Madi, he can’t find out. You got your surgery done in Switzerland, not here. Your information are private-”
“Even if, dad he has his way. He can find out whatever he needed to know whenever he likes… Haa…” She sighed tiredly.
“I know, until I didn’t really think it was necessary. But seems Theo isn’t like Evie. No doubts he suspects you, who wouldn’t. You became close to Evie out of the blue. Everyone knows how Evie hates mingling with people especially those beneath her and she chose you. He’s a smart guy I must say but we’ll have to cut every suspicion he has for you, okay?” Derek asked and she nodded.
“First, we’ll work on your identity. I only created an identity for this current years but now, I’ll have to come up with fake parents for. Fake background, and your fake childhood life. That will be enough to convince him.” He added and she nodded.
“Yes. For now, I’ll try to buy time. I’ll try to make sure he doesn’t suspects me.” She said and Derek nodded.
“Thanks dad.” She said.
“Always welcome dear.”
She ended the call and laid on the bed, exhaling.
“Why is things not going as I planned it? Haa, I shouldn’t have ignored these pointers. Now, I’ll have to make sure he doesn’t suspects anything.” She said and sat up.
“But he doesn’t think I’m Madi, does he??” She thought, confused.
“Haaaa.” She sighed for the umpteenth time that day.
✧✧✧✧✧
Alecia finished setting the table on the terrace and smiled happily. A table for two, sweet dishes on the table, the romantic decoration of the place gave it that dinner date vibes.
“All done, now let’s check if he’s back.” She said with a smile, before leaving the terrace.
She got to the their room to meet Leroy already in the room, he was unbuttoning his shirt.
“Hey! You’re back. I’ve been waiting.” She said and Leroy turned to her. Her eyes widened when she saw his bare chest.
She immediately turned around.
“Oh… I’m sorry. I’ll wait outside till you change.” She said and rushed out.
Leroy chuckled.
Few minutes later, Leroy came out of the room already dressed. Alecia who was standing by the rails turned to him with a smile.
“You- you’re done.” She said slowly. She didn’t know why she was suddenly getting nervous around him, maybe because he helped her, it wouldn’t be nice to act tough with him.
Leroy only nodded.
“Come with me.” She said walking to him.
“Where to?” He asked.
“You’ll find out when we get there okay.” She said and pulled his hand.
They got to the terrace and Leroy gave her a questioning glance.
“Dinner.” She said.
“Why here?”
“Don’t you like it?” She asked and he glanced at her.
“Not that-”
“Let’s go.” She dragged him over and made him seat on the chair. She sat opposite him.
She dished out plate of rice for him and served herself as well. She opened the wine and poured on a good amount of quantity for herself and for him.
“Okay, can you tell me what’s going on? What’s all this for?” He asked and Alecia chuckled.
“Nothing. I just want us to eat together, like couples. You get that?” She asked and Leroy looked at her before laughing softly.
Alecia chuckled as well.
“Couples?? Remember it’s a fake marriage. It’s just for three months so all these aren’t necessary.” Leroy said and she nodded.
“I know, and I’m not trying to change that… I just felt like eating here with someone.” She said and Leroy simply shrugged, picking up his cutleries.
Alecia did as well and they began eating in an total silent.
“Errmm…” Alecia cleared her throat.
“Actually, I wanted to say thank you for helping me settle my mom’s hospital bill and also helping me get a role. Honestly, I didn’t expect you .” She started.
“I knew it.” Leroy said and she nodded.
“And also, I got a call from T~M ENTERTAINMENT, they need my service.” She said and Leroy smiled.
“Thank you.” She said, only God knew how much she stopping herself from going crazy.
Since she got the call earlier today, she has been screaming nonstop. She didn’t know anymore way to thank him than this.
“Thank you so much Leroy. I owe you for this favor.” She said and Leroy smirked.
“Really?? You owe me??” He asked and she slowly nodded, wondering if she said something wrong.
“Wow. That’s to my advantage.” He said.
✧✧✧✧✧
After successfully putting Leo to sleep, Valerie left his room and as she made to go downstairs, she passed through Jeffrey’s room and paused.
She went back and saw him pressing on his laptop vigorously. She creased her brows wondering what he must be doing. His attention was fully into what he was doing.
Her eyes narrowed when the thought of him finding out about her crossed her mind.
She immediately rushed into the room and Jeffrey looked up, she smiled funnily.
“What are you doing here?” He asked and she raised a brow, putting her lips.
“Ermm… I…” She stuttered, lost of words.
“Actually I-” Jeffrey shook his head and made to return his gaze to his laptop but Valerie immediately shut it and took the laptop.
Jeffrey raised his brows.
“What’s that?” He asked.
“Actually, it’s late. You should go to sleep now. What are you doing?” She asked.
“It’s none of your business. Give it to me.” He said, stretching his hand forth.
“No. You’re working too much, you should get a rest. I’ll keep this laptop with me till tomorrow. Now go to sleep.” She said and Jeffrey arched his brows.
Was that supposed to be her business.
“Goodnight.” She said and began walking out of the room casually tho she wished to run out before he stopped her but she was restraining herself.
Jeffrey grabbed her arm and tried collecting the laptop from her but she raised it up.
Jeffrey raised his hands as well and the two began dragging the laptop.
“Let go.” Valerie said and Jeffrey scoffed. He held her wrist and took the laptop from her.
Her eyes widened, she tried collecting it from him but he was taller.
“Give it to me!” She said, pushing him.
She pushed him and he fell on the bed, dragging her along.
They began staring into each other eyes.
Jeffrey suddenly pushed her off as if regaining his senses and Valerie staggered to her feet.
“I’m sorry… I’m so sorry.” She immediately apologized and Jeffrey shook his head rushing out with the laptop.
Valerie sighed tiredly, sitting on the bed. “What have you done Madi?” She asked herself.
Valerie paced about in the living room, looking upstairs at Jeffrey’s room precisely at every interval.
Whenever she looked at it, she looked away and continue walking, tapping her phone on her palm.
She looked up again and her eyes brightened the moment she saw the door opened and Jeffrey walked out of it.
She immediately placed her phone on her ear and cleared her throat.
“Oh c’mon mom. Don’t say that. I miss you as well. I’m just very busy, I can’t come to Switzerland now.” She said in a surprising Swiss accent.
An accent no one would ever thought she had.
“Yes mom.” She said, stylishly looking at the stairs to see Jeffrey descending it.
“I know you miss me mom, I miss you as well but I can’t come now. I wish I could ask you to come but right now I’m having issues with my accommodation. I promise to come visit you month end so you don’t have to worry about me okay?” She said with a broad smile.
Jeffrey stood at last step, looking at her.
“Okay mom, I’ll talk to you later. I have to go now. Bye. Love you.” She blew kisses before ending the call.
She smiled when she turned to see Jeffrey standing there, looking at her.
“Oh, you’re here.” She said in her original accent.
“Well, actually. That’s my mom. She really missed me, so she called.” She said and Jeffrey nodded.
“So you’re a Swiss?” He said, more like he was asking and she nodded.
“Yeah.” She replied.
“Wow.” He muttered and she smiled.
“Your mom misses you isn’t it?” He asked and she nodded with a smile.
“Then invite her over.” He said and Valerie’s eyes widened, all the smiles in her disappeared the same way it came.
“Wha-at did you say?” She asked slowly, trying not to stutter.
“Well, this house is big enough to occupy a lot of people and I have no issue with your mom coming over. I’m sure Evie wouldn’t so invite her here. Also, I really wanna see the mother of this famous model.” He said, the sarcasm in his voice could be noted.
Valerie’s eyes widened. This wasn’t what she planned would happen. Plan gone wrong!
