Her Husband is My Lover

Chapter 100 - Jackson Mansion!

Valentina smiled brightly with her heart beating fast as she cupped her face and kissed her forehead. Amelia made Valentina stand on her feet and grabbed her hands.

"Let's go inside..." Amelia said and Valentina's smile dropped down. Amelia can understand her hesitation about entering inside the mansion. And it made Amelia break her heart seeing that her daughter is getting scared of entering her own house. 

Amelia took a deep breath and looked at Valentina.

"Believe me... You will be fine... This is your home... Let's go inside..." Amelia said and Valentina looked at the entrance.

"I am scared..." Valentina replied.

"I know..." Amelia said.

"But... He is no more... He passed away... A long back... You don't have to be scared of anyone right now..." Amelia said as she cupped her face in his hands and looked into her eyes.

"This is your home. Yours!" Amelia said making Valentina blink her eyes. 

"Are you sure?" Valentina asked and Amelia nodded her head with a bright smile as she grabbed Valentina's wrist. 

"Let's go..." Amelia answered and she started taking Valentina inside. 

Valentina stepped into her home and looked around the house... 

The house is as same as the day she left this house... No changes are made until now... The mansion is so beautiful as always... 

Valentina thought Amelia made changes according to her taste to the mansion after she leaves the mansion... But Amelia never did any changes to the mansion and neither she ever wants to... The Mansion is as beautiful as it is... So many memories... Bad and good... Are related to this mansion for the family... Amelia can still feel Anthony's presence sometimes and so, she doesn't want to change any... And she is the only one living in the house... She never thought that this mansion need changes ever. 

"You didn't try to do changes to the Mansion?" Valentina asked and Amelia shook her head in No.

"The mansion is so beautiful already... I don't think this Mansion needs any change... So, I just left it off without changing anything..." Amelia answered.

"Ohh..." Valentina replied.

"Do you wanna go around and look at the mansion?" Amelia asked and Valentina looked at her.

"Can I?" Valentina asked.

"Yes... You can... You don't have to ask me permission... I already told you... This is your home." Amelia answered and Valentina took a deep breath as Amelia said it's her home too.

Home... A word... Home... She never thought that she will ever have a home... She only has a house where she lives alone... But home word made her feel happy suddenly... It's like, she has got someone behind her back to look after her. 

"Yeah..." Valentina replied.

"I will go and cook for us... You can go look around the mansion alone..." Amelia said with a smile as she caressed her hair.

"Are you sure... I can go alone?" Valentina asked.

"Valentina... I am telling you again and again... This is your home... You have every right on this home." Amelia answered making Valentina take a deep breath.

"It... It just... All this is so new for me..." Valentina said making Amelia nods her head.

"I can understand what you have gone through... But... We will talk later about it... Go now... Look around." Amelia said with a smile and Valentine nodded her head.

Amelia walked inside th kitchen and Valentina just stood there looking around the living room. Valentina walked upstairs to see the old paintings on the wall... That her dad used to paint them... But she has never seen him paint in front of her... She just knows that he is a great artist too as well as a CEO of the Great Jackson's companies... Valentina was so proud of Anthony because she has seen how deals with business and heard a lot about him dealing business with so much cruelly... Everywhere she used to listen to her father's name so proudly. She would have got a lot of respect from everyone as she is the daughter of Anthony. No one outside knows how Anthony looks at her but when they go out to parties taking his family and introducing him to important people like her daughter she feels proud that her father is introducing her as his daughter and those few minutes of happiness is so precious for her... And now, when she grows up... She was not surprised people calling her cruel and is the same as how Anthony used to deal with business and stuff. After all, she is his blood and his daughter... 

She is so proud when someone calls her cruel as her father is... And she wants her father to be happy about this but unfortunately, she knows he will never be happy about her wherever he is... She knows that she can never be a son who can look after his business but as a daughter, she did her responsibilities... And proved to the world that she is Anthony's daughter who never thinks of mercy... Ever! 

She looked at the paintings as a tear falls down from her eyes. She saw her father's signature at th corner of the painting and touched it... She looked up at the painting and a woman painting in the painting... She saw that the woman painting has two faces... On one side, tears are rolling down from her eyes, and on the other side, she saw the woman us smiling... She felt something towards it... But couldn't actually keep her mind in it as to what the painting actually means... Valentina couldn't understand why Anthony painted that when he doesn't care about anyone's feelings... She frowned seeing at the painting but when she looked at the other painting there was another paint with 3 people in it... A family... It was near a lake... There were 2 women and a girl child in the painting and the man is taking pictures of the woman and the girl child... She couldn't at all figure out what does all these means to him... She is really confused about what those painting are showing those feelings he never cared about...

She looked at the other painting where she saw a mother is holding her daughter so close to her and breastfeeding her... And smiling so brightly in the picture... Valentina frowned seeing the painting where all these paintings resemble towards the family... She frowned and shook her head as she stepped back and walked away from there...

All these paintings are just got into her brain making her think about them again and again. She shook her head and walked away from there and to the other side of the mansion... And just like that... She reached to the corner side of the mansion where she used to live all the years in her past... A small room... Which is like a storeroom... She walked toward the room knowing that Amelia would have taken out things away she used to store in this room. Valentina slowly tried to open it and was shocked that the room was not locked... She took a deep breath and opened the door widely. She saw the room is so clean and as same as she left the room. No chances at all were made but it so clean... Valentina frowned seeing that Amelia didn't even think to change this room to the storeroom. She sighed as she walked inside the room. She saw her cute bed in the room with a teddy...

"The teddy is still there..." Valentina said as she walked towards the bed. She took the teddy and looked at it as tears started falling down from her eyes. She kissed the teddy as she remembered that she never used to go to sleep without the teddy but after Anthony passed away... Amelia told Valentina to never bring things out of this room and locked the door. So, that Valentina can stay in the room she told so too. Valentina chuckled remembering the days and kept the teddy on the bed. She walked towards the little table and opened the drawer to see the dairy she used to write daily about the things she used to do daily... She frowned at it as she thought that Amelia read the dairy or not until now... Because she has written about Xavier in the dairy... If she reads it then she should have known about Her and Xavier but she never asked Valentina or Xavier about it... Valentina sighed as she kept the diary on the table... She saw the photo frame on the table. She took it and saw Anthony and Amelia in the picture. Valentina used to cry in her young days thinking that why she was not in the picture... So, she herself drawn in the pictures... It was not a perfect drawing but a girl sketch in between them both that satisfied Valentina at that time... A tear again falls down from her eyes as she remembered how she used to crave for her parent's love but never got to feel it... This made her heart clench but it's all about Fate!
