"I hate that man, I hate that man, I hate him but oh!! How I love him". Valentina Berkeley got married to a man she knew nothing about, a man who hated and did nothing to get close to her. At the altar he looked like someone reciting his death sentence and when they got married, he isolated himself from her. He loved another woman and made it obvious to her that he hated her because of their arranged marriage, yet she loved him. She loved his brooding look and read into the littlest things he did for her but when it became too much, she gathered what little pride she had left and divorced him. Fast forward to few years later, they meet again and they have to work together. Feelings develop and the man that was filled with hatred for her seems nowhere to be found Will she be able to keep the hatred she had for him or will he slowly eat away at the walls she built to protect herself? Will the love she once had for him overcome the hatred that built up and festered over the years or will secrets and untold truths doom their relationship to the same end? Will he be able to redeem himself in her eyes or would he be the same asshole that hurt her time and time again? * * 'How could you keep my flesh and blood away from me' his face contorts in rage, I clench my fists in anger 'The same flesh and blood that you tried to kill before he was born' Frustration fills me, I should have made sure he never found out, he seems to have forgotten that he tried to abort the same child that he's now fighting for' 'I've showed you that I'm a changed person, what else do you want from me?' he says, I raise my hands in exasperation 'I don't want to ever see you near my son again' to think that I was falling in love with him again but now hatred is all that's left. 'You know what, you've had enough time with my son, since you don't want me to see him I'm going to take him away from you and put him where he rightly belongs' ''Then get ready to meet me in court, I would fight tooth and nail, spend every last penny I have to keep my son away from you'

It was my wedding day! it was! But where was my husband? I had been at the altar for hours and my husband was nowhere to be found. Mrs. Alicia my mother-in-law had excused herself outside to call him times and times again but he did not show up. Despite all this, the smile on my face could have been compared to the light coming in through the glass windows, I had dolled myself up for this wedding and despite the fact that my legs were killing me due to the 6-inch heels I was wearing, I refused to let anything spoil my wedding.
I looked to where my parents were seated, they smiled without a care in the world, it was expected since they were getting rid of a nuisance. They had made this fact clear to me since I was young and when the first opportunity presented itself, they thrust me into the arms of Alicia Valero. It wasn't a bad deal to me, Alicia was lovely. She loved me even more than my parents but it was her son that was her problem. I had wanted to back out after our first meet where he treated me like I didn't exist but his mother assured me that he just needed time so I married him.
The door of the church opened and my husband entered, 3 hours late. He walked in and my breath caught, he looked so handsome even with the frown on his face, I found my mind wondering to how he would look if a smile stretched those icy lips of his, I wondered how he would look if a laugh lifted those stone hard cheeks and if the twinkle and light of laughter entered his eyes but I could only wonder, the only thing he gifted my eyes with was the frown on his face.
Yet I was happy, I looked forward to when he would open up to me, to when he would show me the cheerful personality that his mother spoke so highly of. It was time to read our vows and I promised myself onto Simon till death do us part. Simon read out his vows and I felt excitement build in my heart despite the fact that he read it like a death sentence.
'I now pronounce you husband and wife' my excitement bubbled out as the priest joined us together and I turned to kiss Simon. He placed a fleeting kiss on my lips and turned away, the kiss left much to be desired and I looked forward to our wedding night.
We walked out of the church hand in hand after taking pictures but immediately we got to where cars were parked, he got in and drove off leaving me standing, stranded. My mother-in-law saved my face and instructed her driver to take me home.
I got home and headed to Simon's room still clad in my wedding gown. I was met with a shocker when Simon told me never to step foot in his room. He pushed me out and called for the maids and instructed them to show me to my room, he told me that he wants nothing to do with me and that I should meet the maids if I wanted anything.
