King Xavier's bride
"Am I fired? Wait... this must be a misunderstanding, I'm an exemplary employee and you can't just fire me" Valerie said annoyed when she heard the dismissal from her manager's mouth
So far she has worked very well, often even getting bonuses then why should she be fired without any explanation first.
"This is an order from superiors, you can't protest with me, if you don't accept... you can meet Mr. Thompson," said the bald man
Valerie laughed, she rubbed her face and then let out a long breath.
"Sir. Thompson is an asshole, after he failed to get my body, then he fired me? he's an i***t, I'll scratch his face if I meet him" she said angrily
The bald man pushed Valerie's body to quickly get out of the office
the man was annoyed that Valerie kept complaining.
Valerie packed her things and immediately left the company.
this is what she gets after 10 years working at the company? she didn't even get a penny of salary at this time.
"f**k, just watch out if I meet him again" she growled annoyed
Valerie looked at her wallet and it was only a few dollars, she didn't even have money to buy food... it's a bad day.
Valerie immediately rushed to her apartment and put some clothes in the suitcase.
at least she has to run away from this apartment before the owner of the apartment comes to collect the rent.
And the only way is to go back to the village and live in her grandmother's long-empty house
although they have maids who clean the place it is a very secluded place.
There were only a few houses there and the rest were sprawling vineyards.
Valerie rushed to load the suitcase into the car and run the car at high speed towards the village of Wind.
To be honest, she was confused if she had to stay in that place because she didn't have a job, then how could he buy food without money?
today, Was the worst day of her life, she didn't want to work as a farmer because of her pretty face.
"Arghh, bad day today," she said
Valerie drove her car for 5 hours and finally, she arrived at a remote village
Old Mansion, but still well maintained even exotic and beautiful
"Finally I'm back in this Mansion, honestly I'm afraid to live alone in this house because it's too big," she thought.
as she parked her car seen from a distance an old woman running smilingly at Valerie,
She is Diana Ross, the maid who always cleaned the entire Mansion along with the other two maids.
"Valerie Dimitri, finally..you came after 20 years," she said
Valerie smiled broadly and entered the Mansion where the drinks were already available.
"Your drink dear, I know your journey was quite long... now rest, you don't have to worry about your suitcase because Sofia will tidy it up," Diana said
Valerie nodded her head and then went up to the 2nd floor
she saw a photo of the Dimitri family in old aristocratic clothes that looked very elegant and dignified.
could it be that their family was noble, but his mother never told him about their family in detail?
Valerie opened the door to the room she had lived in for 20 years
The place was still the same and the bed was still the same.
she lay down on the bed and then closed her eyes to rest because the 5-hour journey was very tiring.
a faint sound was heard when she fell asleep like the sound of footsteps entering her room.
The voice gradually became clearer but when she opened her eyes there was no one in the room.
Valerie opened her bedroom window to let light in from outside, now the room was much brighter than before.
She tried to overcome her panic by closing her eyes once more.
Once more, she closed her eyes, but she felt something cold touch her lips. It felt like a finger.
After that, she faintly smelled the soothing citrus perfume and heard a guy say, "Welcome my bride," in a very deep voice.
Because Diana was cleaning the backyard outside, Valerie didn't worry because she felt the noise might have come from there.
However, despite the fact that the citrus perfume was growing stronger, curiously enough, she didn't want to open her eyes because the scent was so soothing to her.
She dozed off again, dreaming that she was on a stunning tulip plantation, seemingly flying into the wild.
She had never seen a garden quite like this one.
A man dressed as a king called to her from a distance, but she choose not to approach him.
But then her legs started to feel rigid, and she tumbled till she finally woke up.
Her brow was heavily perspiring when she awoke from sleep.
What a bizarre dream, she reflected.
She awoke to Diana's voice, who invited Valerie to descend and partake in some hot tea in the afternoon.
Diana and Valerie sat in the backyard admiring the grapes as Valerie hurried downstairs.
"The plantation is enormous, who do you suppose is its owner?" inquired Valerie
"It is a plantation owned by the Dimitri family, and since you are the heir, the wine factory across the street is yours" Diana chuckled in response to the girl's query.
Valerie's eyes widened as she struggled to accept that she was the plantation's owner. She never mentioned this plantation before her mother passed away.
However, it's actually a good thing because Valerie's financial situation will improve if her factory sells a lot of high-quality wine.
Diana instructed, "You must now take over your grandfather's role, first, your mother refused this factory, but now it is you who will carry it on, let's sell a lot of wine after that and go on holiday to the beach."
In the end, Valerie laughed joyfully because she avoided going hungry. She was appreciative of becoming the heir of this vineyard and
