Chapter 3 Initial Contact With Kieran

  • "Miss Valerie, are you ready for breakfast yet?" Jayvion quickly got up and grinned at Valerie. For breakfast? Valerie had memories coming back to her one after another. They were all unpleasant. Valerie gave an inner snort, but she forced an embarrassed expression. "Jayvion, Last night, I had a bad dream that even startled me awake around midnight. It is too late for me to go to the dining room. Please bring my breakfast over here. Valerie raised her teary eyes to glance at Jayvion. The places where Jayvion couldn't see her fingers wriggled anxiously. When Jayvion noticed the shadowy areas beneath Valerie's eyes, his heart began to soften. Yes, Ms. Valerie. I will immediately get you breakfast.
  • Jayvion quickly left Valerie's room after bending slightly. Valerie hurried over to her ugly bedside table and checked the calendar as soon as Jayvion disappeared from her view. "20...16. When I was thirteen, I got kicked out. I'm currently 7 years old. I have six years remaining. Valerie muttered. She soon scowled in exasperation.Half a decade? "I have to stay here for another six years," Valerie thought to herself. Valerie thought she couldn't spend one more moment in this house because of her family's contemptuous behavior. Valerie's brow furrowed further when she realized how disorganized her thoughts were at the time. She was making an effort to recall the important occasions throughout those years.
  • Nevertheless, all of her previous memories surrounded her. She was unable to think straight. "Forget it," thought Valerie. That is all.I will attempt to write something down following breakfast. Valerie did what her heart told her. She went back to sleep. She put her hands on her stomach and began to carefully recall the important things that had happened in her life. Valerie patiently awaited Jayvion's arrival. However, Jayvion was not happy after getting his breakfast from the kitchen. Reese or Reyna asked Jayvion about Valerie as he went by to the kitchen for Valerie's breakfast. They were only thinking about Zoe.They had such tender glances for Zoe. Kieran was plating food on Zoe's plate while enjoying a delicious brunch. as well.
  • Jayvion observed them for some time before pivoting. He gave a deep, lengthy sigh. “Mr. Bowman, what’s wrong?”Nothing. Return to your assignment. Jayvion sighed, shocking the kitchen crew. Unavoidably, one of them looked up and posed the query to Jayvion. Following Valerie's breakfast, Jayvion proceeded directly to her room. Jayvion didn't believe he could endure remaining in the dining area at the now. "breakfast is ready, Ms. Valerie." Jayvion gathered his feelings and entered. He found Valerie soundly dozing on her bed. She was practically the same size as Zoe, who was only five years old, because she was so small.
  • Valerie had lost considerably more weight. Her hands were on her stomach as she lay stiffly on her bed. It was evident from the dark circle that Valerie had not slept well the night before.Finally, wanting Valerie to get some sleep, Jayvion went over and carefully pulled the comforter over her. Perhaps she used all of her vitality to become reborn. Valerie slept all day and didn't wake up until after six o'clock. She couldn't hear any noise outside, and the room was completely dark. Valerie felt a knot in her stomach and had to get up to go to the kitchen.
  • She staggered along, lost in the shadows. There was nobody in the kitchen. Valerie reasoned that it was because Zoe was taken out to supper by Reese and Reyna. She instantly became alert.How lovely, Valerie thought to herself. While traveling here, I was considering how to handle my so-called family. Valerie was ecstatic as she peered into the dark dining room and kitchen. Valerie was little, so after opening the refrigerator, she had to obtain a stool to see what was inside. There were numerous pricey components, including premium meat and caviare. Valerie paid little attention to those substances. Her eyes immediately focused on the final shelf, which was piled high with roughage. After grabbing a corn cob, she shut the refrigerator door. She was unable to grasp the corn cob with her hands.It was more than sufficient to fill her rumbling stomach. Valerie swung the stool beneath the light fixture.
  • With difficulty, she ascended and turned on the light. Kieran abruptly materialized in front of her, glaring fiercely at Valerie. Valerie let out a cry. The grain fell to the ground and then started to roll away as she jumped. "What are you doing?" Crossing his arms, Kieran studied Valerie's pallid countenance. His furrowed brows furrowed. Kieran had a stern face, as though he was a policeman observing a prisoner. Silently, the brother and sister gazed at one another. No one said anything. Valerie cast a somber glance at the maize on the ground. Then she cast a sour glance up at Kieran.
  • Her older brother, Kieran Horton.Kieran was quite the catch, being the Horton family's eldest son. Kieran had elevated the Horton Group and his family to unprecedented heights since assuming control of it from Reese two years prior. That's how exceptional Kieran was. On his first day as president, he allegedly sacked every old, corrupt staff member. He moved quickly, denying others a chance to respond or make a plea. Valerie was only aware of that. After that, she was expelled from the Horton family and stopped hearing about them. since. Perhaps it was because she hadn't seen any of her relatives in a while. Valerie was a little uncomfortable and had no idea what to do.
  • Right then, all she could think to do was grab the corn and run. Kieran's eyebrows began to furrow more deeply. How come? Could you not talk now? Why didn't you respond to my query? The discomfort vanished as soon as Kieran spoke to Valerie in such an authoritative manner. Valerie remarked coldly, glancing at Kieran. "I came to the kitchen for food because I'm hungry." Kieran appeared even more irate even after Valerie responded to his query. Valerie had never raised her voice at him, as far as Kieran could recall. She was always shy and unable to make eye contact. him.
  • And she always gave him the charming nickname Kier. Valerie had cautiously brought tea and a midnight snack to his room last night.research. Valerie was speaking dismissively to him, though. Her demeanor may be described as icy. Valerie scooped up the maize, and Kieran lowered his arms and squinted. Kieran was angry for an unknown reason.
  • "Pay attention to your tone. Where are your civilities? Valerie stopped her cleaning of the corn. The light was coming from Valerie's back when she turned. With his hands tucked into his pockets, Kieran stood there. She believed she could deal with the Hortons in a calm manner when she returned.However, the suffering persisted even after they continued to act rudely and ignorantly. Valerie's heart was still pierced. In an attempt to control her breathing and keep from crying in front of Kieran, 7-year-old Valerie squeezed her lips into a thin line. Etiquette? Valerie felt that their civility wasn't warranted.
