229- Marissa's kids

"You must be out of your mind," Nina snarled at Valerie who was sitting on Nina's bed with those puffy eyes, "Marissa and Rafael are parents to two baby girls? How is that possible?"

"Delinda saw them. In a mart. A few weeks back," Val said looking straight ahead.

Nina started shaking her head, not believing a word, Valerie was saying, "I met the woman after you left, Valerie. And in all honesty, I find a bit…" she shrugged, "A bit off… somewhat uncanny."

Valerie didn't respond. 

This morning when Nina came back to her hotel room, Valerie was already sitting on her bed, staring into space. 

When she got consciousness, she asked Ethan to leave her alone. She didn't want to face anyone.

"Right now, you are also acting like her," Nina remarked, expecting Valerie to fight back but Val stayed like a statue.

"That's the reason he didn't want babies with me, Nina," Valerie's voice was devoid of any emotion.
