Her Husband is My Lover

Chapter 76 - Anthony's Death. (Past)

PAST! 

"Mom..." Valentina shouted as she falls down on her knees.

"Mom... What happened?" Valentina shouted as she held her by her shoulders.

"Mom... Can you please tell me what happened?" Valentina shouted and Amelia turned towards him.

"Your... Your Dad... Is... No more!" Amelia said with tears falling down from her eyes making Valentina's eyes wide.

"Wh... What?" Valentina shouted.

"No dad is no more!" Amelia shouted as she cried out loud.

"He died in an accident!" Amelia said as she cried and tears started falling down from Valentina's eyes. 

"No... This... This is not true..." Valentina replied as she stood up on her feet.

"It's true, Val." George said as he walked inside the Jackson house. 

"No... You are lying..." Valentina yelled and George looked down.

"We are not lying!" George replied and Valentina stumbled back with tears.

"How... How is this possible?" Valentina yelled at George.

"We did all the arrangements... The body was damaged so badly... We need to bury it as soon as possible!" George answered making Valentina look at him. 

"No... No... Where he is right now?" Valentina asked.

"In the graveyard!" George answered.

"Take us there!" Valentina replied and George nodded his head and they all walked out of the house getting in their cars.

They all soon reached the graveyard and saw a few people surrounded around.

Xavier looked at Valentina and saw her heart face that made him heartbroken but he is happy that at last, she is out of Anthony's torture. 

"Dad..." Valentina shouted and Amelia cried her heart out.

They all soon finished the rituals and walked back home. 

People started visiting their house... Many businessmen and others visited their house for giving their condolences. Everything happening so fast for Valentina... She isn't at all understanding what's going on around her. She is so out of her mind that what's these people are doing around and having many business talks with her mother Amelia. Valentina saw Amelia going to the company early morning and returning back home tiredly at midnight.

She doesn't know what Amelia is doing but the only thing that she knows is that the stocks of Jackson companies are getting down. Some are behind them to sell the companies to them. 

Valentina is reading all these daily on tabloid... After her fatherer Anthony's death, Amelia gave her a good bedroom to live in and good clothes and everything but the only thing that she didn't get is... Amelia didn't talk with her until now as a mother does with her daughter. 

Valentina walked down the stairs as Amelia walked inside the house with her tired face. 

And she saw George walked inside the house following behind her. Valentina frowned and walked downstairs. They both sat down on the couches and started discussing something. Valentina knows how bad George can become when it comes to business because that's what she read about him on a tabloid. She even heard him talk with her dad once that he will care about anyone when it comes to his business. He will make sure they suffer in hell so, that they don't a pole in his business. Valentina is all alone right now... She doesn't want to believe anyone. Because that what, she heard her father talk on the phone that he doesn't believe anyone... Not even his shadow on business...

She wants to help Amelia but she at the same time, she couldn't help but get angry at her but again, keeping all her ego away... She walked towards them as just when Amelia was about to sign some papers... Valentina stopped her mother.

"Stop signing them!" Valentina said and Amelia looked up at her. 

"Yes?" Amelia asked.

"Ohh... Val..." George said as he gives her a nasty smile.

"What are you signing?" Valentina asked.

"Some documents. You don't have to know about it!" Amelia answered as she was again about to sign them. Valentina walked towards her and snatched the documents from her making Amelia angry.

"Valentina... Get me the documents back!" Amelia said.

"Let me have a look at them first!" Valentina replied and started checking the documents. 

"Valentina... Give them back to me!" Amelia said as she walked towards her but Valentina's eyes widened as she looked at the documents.

Amelia grabbed the papers from Valentina and slapped her hard on her cheek.

"Just shut up and go to your room. Don't you dare raise your voice at me?" Amelia shouted making George smirk.

"Shouldn't raise my voice over you?" Valentina asked with a chuckle. Valentina grabbed the documents from Amelia and tore them into pieces making Amelia and George eyes wide.

"Valentina!" Amelia shouted.

"Shut up!" Valentina yelled back at her mother.

"What?" Amelia asked.

"Just shut up!" Valentina said pointing her finger at her.

"Who the fuck you think to sell my dad's companies to him?" Valentina shouted at Amelia pointing her finger at George.

"Val..." George tried to talk.

"Shut up... You don't have any fucking right to talk right now!" Valentina yelled at George with her fierce eyes. 

"Valentina, mind your language. You can't like that with your elders." Amelia said making Valentina chuckle.

"Elders? Who elders?" Valentina asked making Amelia look at her angrily. 

"I don't care about anyone when it comes to my dad's companies! Do you understand?" Valentina shouted at Amelia.

"He worked hard for this... He worked day and night and kept all his 100? in this business to bring it up and now, as soon as he left this world... You are planning on selling the companies?" Valentina shouted at Amelia.

"Do you think, I didn't try anything to keep the company? I did... I did my 100 ? to bring it up again and tried to requested every shareholder but they are not at all listening to me. The stocks are decreasing day by day... We don't have any support to raise it right now... What else should I do other than selling it off?" Amelia asked. 

"I don't understand, how easily you are talking about selling it... It's companies... You getting it! Jackson's companies... Not a normal company. Jackson is the biggest fashion brand company in this whole world." Valentina answered.

"I can't do anything right now... I tried my best but now... We can't do this and the only option we have right now is to sell the companies off!" Amelia said.

"I don't think, you got this idea yourself... Who told you about selling the companies?" Valentina asked and Amelia looked at George.

Valentina turned towards George and chuckled.

"Expected!" Valentina said making George frown.

"Why do you want to buy my dad's companies when you can finally support it?" Valentina asked snd George gulped down.

"Huh?" George asked.

"I know you will not have any answer!" Valentina answered.

"Listen, carefully... I am not giving these companies to anyone... I mean it... Anyone... If you are so keen on helping us then help our companies. Not by telling us to sell it but by supporting it financially! I don't care who you are! Because I am going to take over the companies from tomorrow. They are mine now... Jackson's companies are my responsibility from tomorrow. You getting it?" Valentina asked.

"If you wish to support me then try to help me by coming to the company tomorrow early morning and until then I will make things alright! You don't at all have to worry about it... In 1 year... I will bring back the companies to the position where it was in the past few months back!" Valentina challenged looking into George's eyes. 

"It's already so quite late... I think you need to leave right now, so, you can reach on time yo companies tomorrow early morning!" Valentina said to George and he nodded his head and walked out of the house. 

Amelia walked towards Valentina as soon as George walked out of the house. 

"Are you understanding what are you even talking about? It's not a normal plaything. It's companies... You are just in your high school... How can you do this?" Amelia asked.

"Mrs. Jackson, the business doesn't need qualifications. It just needs a brain... To think about few things... And I am confident that I can do this... Can you just trust me for this once?" Valentina asked and Amelia nodded her head in yes.

"Please... I request you to not to take any kind of decision like this without asking me... George is not at all good... He is a manipulator in business. I hope you understand what I am trying to tell you!" Valentina said and Amelia nodded her head.

"Thank you so much!" Valentina said and walked inside the kitchen and made her coffee for herself. Amelia saw her grabbing her coffee and taking the keys to Anthony's office from the secret place-making Amelia frown. Amelia walked towards teh office and saw Valentina looking at the files and searching for the few files that she never has any idea about from Anthony's office. 

At the moment, she saw the same confidence in Valentina's eyes as Anthony has in his eyes. She is proud at that moment that Valentina is even capable of talking back to the people and wished everything goes well.
