nVal... Please...

" Amelia said and Valentina stepped back and shook her head.

n

"You are free to leave my house now and please don't ever visit me again. Think that your daughter is dead with your husband. Don't worry. I will give you the lifestyle you wished for until I am alive!

" Valentina said with a harsh tone and Amelia started crying out loud.

n

"Val... I am no one to talk in your personal matters but sweetheart, I think whatever you are doing is not right? Think from her preservative too... Think about what she went through and why should do like that because I know no mother will harm their children knowingly! There might be any reason why she did that!

" Margaret said.

n

"I know those reasons, Aunt Margaret. But I didn't ask for much from her or from my dad... Well... He is the main reason whys he doesn't love me!

" Valentina replied.

n

"I do... I do... I do!

" Amelia said making Valentina look at Amelia.

nAmelia stood ok her feet and looked into Valentina's eyes.

n

"I do love you and you clearly know why I didn't take you close to me. But there are many more reasons why I didn't take you close too. You just know a few... There is more to it! I just don't want to lose you and that's why I kept you away from me!

" Amelia said making Valentina chuckle.

n

"Come on then... Tell me those reasons!

" Valentina said.

n

"You will know them when the time comes... Not now. But I was scared to lose you. You are so precious for me!

" Amelia replied.

n

"Lol... I am not a small kid anymore to believe whatever you tell me! I don't understand what do you want from me right now? I don't understand how can you just shower the love on me so suddenly? I am giving you everything you want! I am satisfying your every need. Then why are you behind me?

" Valentina asked.

n

"Val... Past circumstances made me be away from you and that doesn't mean I don't love you! Yes, I was hard on you but you need to understand me right now!

" Amelia said and Valentina shook her head.

n

"I don't have any mood to listen to your nonsense! Just do whatever the ** you want and leave me alone. Let me leave my life peacefully right now! I am happy now please don't try to ruin my happiness!

" Valentina replied.

n

"Val... I think you should forgive your mother and give her a chance. You just can't fig all the past right now! I know it's hard but please...

" Valentina cut off Margaret in mid-sentence.

n

"Aunt Margaret, I will ask you a question. Please answer it honestly.

" Valentine said and Margaret looked at Jason. Jason nodded his head at Margaret and Margaret nodded her head at Valentina.

n

"You know about my life. So, my question is... Would you do the same if you are at my mother's place and support your husband and let go of your son Jason?

" Valentina asked and Jason looked at Margaret.

nMargaret looked at Amelia making her fresh tears fall from her eyes!

n

"No!

" Margaret answered.

n

"Reason?

" Valentina asked.

n

"My Son means a lot to me more than my husband. I will try to give him everything I can... I will look after him and will give him everything which I can afford to get!

" Margaret answered.

n

"That's the differences you have in Mrs. Jackson and you, Aunt Margaret! You love and care for your Son no matter what! If it's meant to defend your husband for your son. You will! Because you love your Son more than your husband. But Mrs. Jackson... There are no words for her... She chooses her husband and her lifestyle over her daughter...

" Valentina replied making Margaret sigh.

n

"But...

" Margaret tried to talk.

n

"No, I am not listening to anyone. I hate her and I will hate her forever! Whatever the reasons are... I don't care. She hurts me and broke the innocent me inside me... She broke her own daughter's heart. There is no place for her in her's daughter heart for her right now.

" Valentina replied as she walked close to Amelia.

n

"You should know how much you hurt me. Now, it's time you suffer... As I said, you will be having a bright life if you don't care that you have a daughter but... I will do the justice to you and the responsibility you gave me... I will do my best. I will try harder and bring your companies to even more higher positions... As you cared about money and lifestyle a lot... You will be getting that money and lifestyle from me.

" Valentina said with a harsh tone.

n

"Val... I am sorry... Try to understand me. I don't need anything. I just need you... Right now.

" Amelia replied.

n

"And you will never get me.

" Valentina yelled back making her flinch.

n

"You will never get me. Do you understand that?

" Valentina yelled.

n

"You are no one to me.

" Valentina said making Amelia nod her head.

n

"Alright... I am none to you... Fine. Don't stress yourself. I will get out of here!

" Amelia replied.

n

"Good! Leave now!

" Valentine said and Amelia nodded grabbing her handbag.

n

"Please look after her well... I can only trust you right now.

" Amelia said looking at Jason and he nodded his head at her making Valentina roll her eyes.

nAmelia looked at Valentina as she wiped her tears away.

n

"Take care of yourself!

" Amelia said.

n

"I will... You don't have to remember me!

" Valentina replied and Amelia nodded and started walking outside but stopped as Valentina talked.

n

"Wait...

" Valentina said and Amelia turned back.

n

"Don't ever step inside my house again. You don't have that right to come inside my house.

" Valentina said making a tear falls down from Amelia's eyes. Amelia nodded her head and walked outside of the house with tears in her eyes. Margaret and Jason looked at each other and felt so bad for Amelia.

nAs soon as Amelia disappeared from the site of Valentina, she called on her knees with tears and started crying out loud.

nMargaret walked towards her and took Valentina in her arms. Valentina kept her head on her head and hugged her tightly.

n

"Why me, Aunt Margaret? What did I even do to not get my mother's love?

" Valentina asked as she cried on Margaret's shoulder.

n

"Calm down, Val...

" Margaret said as she caressed Valentina's hair.

n

"No, Aunt Margaret... I need her love too but... I don't want to get hurt again. I can't bear it if my mom leaves me again.

" Valentina replied.

n

"You will only know when you give her a chance to prove herself, Val... Why are you thinking that she will hurt you again? Whatever she did was for your goodness... You know, how bad your dad is. Don't you?

" Margaret asked and Valentina nodded her head.

n

"She is just scared of him. But now, there is none you should get scared off... Your dad is no more in this world. You took soccer his companies and bought them even to higher positions than him... If he did know that you are intelligent to take over his companies then he would have been accepted you a lot of time back but now, there is no chance... But I still think, wherever he is, he is proud of his daughter.

" Margaret said and Valentina shook her head in no.

n

"No... He doesn't at all want me to take over his companies... He doesn't want a girl to take over his companies... He said, he will lose it all but will never give me his companies... Not even on his death bed, he didn't at all call me his daughter or talked to me as a father. That day, I got to know how much he hates me! He hates me... Just because I am a girl.

" Valentina replied as she cried ok Margaret shoulder.

n

"Love, just try to give her a chance... You will know if she hurts you again or not only when you give her a chance. Maybe... She will give you the love you deserved that you lost all these years... Just a chance. All she needs is a chance!

" Margaret said and Valentina shook her head.

n

"Look into my eyes.

" Margaret said as she cupped Valentina's face in her hands.

nMargaret wiped the tears away from Valentina's eyes and kissed her forehead.

n

"You are a strong girl. I know, you can live your life without anyone's help. But honey, Your mother is becoming old. She needs someone who can support her. Living alone is not an option for her. But she still chooses you... She wants to give you the love you deserve and come here. Knowing you are sick, she couldn't bear herself. She came all along here and cooked for you... She wants you to be healthy! If she doesn't love you, she wouldn't have come here and cook for you. Just a chance, Honey!

" Margaret said looking into Valentina's eyes.

n

"You don't have to take the decision now itself... You can take your time but please think about it. Because you are her daughter. You both need each other.

" Margaret said and Valentina nodded her head making Margaret and Jason smile brightly.

n

"I know my Valentina is not a stone-hearted girl... I am so proud of you.

" Margaret said as she kissed Valentina's forehead.

n

"Get up now and get fresh! I will help you!

" Margaret said and slowly tried to make Valentina get in her feet but as soon as she gets up on her feet, she stumbled back as dizziness covered her eyes and was about to fall down when Jason held her by her waist.

n

"Oh my... What happened to her?

" Margaret asked.

n

"No... Nothing!

" Valentina answered as Jason helped her to stand on her feet.

n

"I am alright... I just haven't had my lunch and I just had a soup in the morning which Jason made for me. So, I feel a little dizzy.

" Valentina answered.

n

"Can you able to walk upstairs?

" Margaret asked and Valentina nodded but before she takes a step... Jason sweep her off from the floor taking her in his arms making Valentina wrap her arms around his neck.

n

"Jason... You don't have to do this...

" Jason cut off Valentina in mid-sentence.

n

"I know I don't have too but I want too... I mean, you are not well... So, it's fine. Hold me tightly.

" Jason said and Valentina nodded with a smile and kept her head on Jason's shoulder closing her eyes. Margaret smiled seeing them both looking so beautiful with each other and at that time, she knows that Jason and Valentina will be happy if they both marry each other because they just look like made for each other. Margaret is ready is to do anything to make his son happy and at the same time, She is ready to do anything to keep Valentina away from Xavier and for that, she has an amazing idea near her. So, Valentina can be away from Xavier for a few days and can get close to Jason.
