Chapter: CHAPTER 44—Action Louder Than WordsCHAPTER 44—Action Louder Than WordsRaffi’s Point of ViewRock had a TIGHT grip on my palm as we both sat in the mini living room. In front of us were Naya, Lucille, Anne and Lyndon. We are now on our way home to the Highlands and are just waiting for our flight. I don't know why Louise is also with us. Rock said nothing. My friends don't know either and just feel it.Rock just told me that Louise also lives in Highland. It has a business proposal and Rock can't deal with it. He said that his flight back to the Highlands was actually booked and even joined us. Every time I meet Louise's gaze, it doesn't even waver and looks like she's challenging me to a fight.I won't blame it because I know what my place is in Rock's life. It's funny that he knows I'm Rock's wife, but if he showed up and could talk earlier, I was just like an employee. It was only then that I encountered such a person.I felt Rock squeeze my hand so my attention went to him. I looked at him. "Why?""Are you alright

Chapter: CHAPTER 43—Talk About ItCHAPTER 43—Talk About ItRaffi’s Point of ViewRock did not speak IMMEDIATELY and just stared at me. The whole area was quiet and only the two of us could hear our breathing. We look directly at each other and feel each other.Rock looked away first. "Why are you even interested in knowing who he is?" He took a deep breath and sat up. He crossed his arms across his chest then looked at me again."I'm really interested in her, Rock." I took a deep breath to somehow calm down. "Just answer my questions." I couldn't help but be accompanied by irritation in my voice.Rock shook his head. "Don't ask. He was my classmate in college. That's it!""Again?""I don't want to talk about him. He's not important.""Unimportant?""No, Raffi." He looked straight into my eyes. He stood up and grabbed my hand to pull me but I was stubborn. "Raffy?"I didn't act. I slowly looked at my husband. "My question is easy. Who is Louise? What is the real relationship between the two of you?""Are we going to fi

Chapter: CHAPTER 42—Who is She?CHAPTER 42—Who is She?Raffi’s Point of ViewAfter we ate, we went to the restaurant next to where we had dinner. Our drinking was okay but I never expected to lose sight of Rock. He was by my side just now. There were a lot of people here at the bar and since it was quite dark, I was having a hard time seeing the place."Naya, did you see where Rock went?" I asked my friend.Naya shook her head. “No. Maybe it's just there. Just drink it. He will also come back here. Just relax."I tried to relax but I was really annoyed. He's not here yet and he hasn't been at our table for a few minutes. I'm nervous but I don't know if my feelings are right.When I saw Lucille, I hugged her. "Did you see Rock?" I will ask. Because the sounds were quite loud, he didn't hear me that's why I repeated. "Did you see Rock?""Rock? Earlier I saw him go to the smoking area. Maybe it's still there."I frowned. "Thank you." I walked towards the smoking area. Rock didn't say goodbye to me and as far as I know,

Chapter: CHAPTER 41—Quality Time With HimCHAPTER 41—Quality Time With HimRaffi’s Point of ViewA while ago I noticed that Rock was quiet while we were on the trip. We are now going back to the hotel. We also ate earlier with our friends and I noticed that he is now quiet and will only speak when asked.But this very thing that will tell the story did not happen and he just remained silent.Rock just looks straight out the window of our rented car that will take us to the hotel. Just serious and no emotion on the face. I suddenly wondered if he had a problem earlier that's why I was worried about it.Since he was right next to me, I softly called his name. “Rock?”"Why?" he asked then smiled sparingly at me."Are you okay? I noticed a while ago that you seem to be quiet."He nodded. "Of course. I'm just tired from the places we went but I'm fine.""Are you sure? We can talk if you want." My voice was soft when I said that.Rock smiled lightly then nodded as if to tell me not to worry. "I'm really fine. Don't worry because I

Chapter: CHAPTER 40—GiftsCHAPTER 40—GiftsRaffi’s Point of View"LOOK, is it okay?" Naya asked me while we were shopping for clothes. She is holding a blue dress with a floral design. I looked to see if it would suit my friend.While we were walking, a vendor told us that there was going to be a party and that it was open to all guests on this island. Anne and I asked what could be worn and we were told the Hawaiian dress code."That style is okay but your color, do you like blue?" I will ask."I was wondering if it was blue or red. Don't I look sexy and seductive when I wear this?" It took a dress that was the same style but only the color was different. "Do you think?"I shook my head and laughed a little. "It's up to you. You should be comfortable."He returned the dresses to the clothes rack and then faced me. "You, what do you want from those here? It's that simple."I shook my head then looked around my eyes. "Not yet. I'm fine with the t-shirt I bought.""What did you say, Raffi? You should buy a dress

Chapter: CHAPTER 39—SouvenirsCHAPTER 39—SouvenirsRaffi’s Point of ViewI woke up at seven in the morning the next day. Maybe because of being so sleepy and tired from traveling, my body was really tired so I slept very well overnight. I don't even remember getting up at the crack of dawn to go to the bathroom because my help really did go straight.I got up and quickly drank water because my throat was dry. After that I went to the bathroom. After a few moments I also came out and passed out on the edge of the bed. I checked my cellphone to see if I had received an important text while I was sleeping.I think my friends are still asleep because no one has texted them yet. I put my phone back on the nightstand and lay back on the bed. My soft bed felt very comfortable. It's no different from my bed in Rock's mansion.I spent a few more minutes before I went back inside the bathroom and got dressed because I felt like I needed to exercise. I know I ate a lot last night so I need to burn fat. Fortunately, I had exe

Chapter: CHAPTER 108—Who's Behind It?CHAPTER 108—Who's Behind It?Rain's Point of ViewWhile Von and Azariah were grilling and Ali was playing guitar. We both sing and I can truly say that Ali's voice is beautiful. I was embarrassed because my voice wasn't that good, but he tried to make me sing."You have a beautiful voice, Rain. Who said you don't have a good voice?" asked Azariah. It seems that he has been hearing me say that my voice is not good.I didn't answer right away. I honestly don't remember who told me when I was young that my voice was not beautiful. They said it's better if I just dance because my body is a bit soft."I don't remember who Uncle Eliseo told me or who he was talking to at that time. I was still young when they told me that. Then those who heard laughed." I don't want to say these things anymore because it's been a long time. I'm still young."Ah, so it's Uncle. Maybe he didn't want you anymore that's why he said that.""Maybe he's just joking," I said.Azariah stopped turning the squids that

Chapter: CHAPTER 107—Ali's Way of FightingCHAPTER 107—Ali's Way of FightingRain's Point of ViewI was almost surprised when I felt Ali's arm wrap around my waist and I turned to him. There was a tinge of concern on his face as he looked at me. I frowned. "What's the problem?" I will ask."You are the one I asked. What's the problem? Why do you look like that?” Ali even held my cheek and squeezed it a little. "You look like you just got back from crying. Did you cry?" he asked me.I smiled at him, still seeing the white teeth. "Yes, I am really fine. Don't worry about me." I took his hand from his grip on me."Why is that red and it looks like you just got back from crying?""Nothing. Believe me. Azariah and I just talked and my heart was touched by him. That's because my cousin is so smart. I have nothing more to say to him.”Ali nodded slowly. "You're right there. What Aliona and Apollo's attitude was bad, Azariah was kind. And another thing is that I can see how much he loves Von.""They're both sweet too, aren't they?" I

Chapter: CHAPTER 106—Thankful and GratefulCHAPTER 106—Thankful and GratefulRain's Point of ViewWe were very happy with the sea water while we were on the boat. There was a steward who maneuvered the boat so that we could sail smoothly in the ocean.Ali was next to me as I leaned on him slightly. He holds my hands. It should be so peaceful. Fortunately, the boat we were on had a roof so we were not directly exposed to the sun."Are you okay?" Ali asked me.I didn't answer right away. I've been bothered by things for a while now but I don't want to ask Ali. Do I feel that he will get annoyed with me if I keep asking him questions? All the things that happen to us make me question why it happens.I sighed before trying to smile at him. "I'm fine. Nothing will happen if I'm not going to be okay, right?”Ali squeezed my hand. "That's right. Whatever you're thinking, put your worries away because I won't leave you. You and your family."I looked him in the eyes. "I know that. I also know that you will do everything just to make s

Chapter: CHAPTER 105—ExcitementCHAPTER 105—ExcitementRain's Point of View"So, Daddy said we can't leave the rest house for now. It's like we're locked down, right?" I asked as I held Ali's arm. We walk on the beach watching the sunrise.Azariah and Von were with us earlier but they said goodbye to go to the gym so Ali and I continued walking. From a distance we could see the guards watching over us."Yes. That's how it is. Such an idea is boring and annoying, but we need it to ensure that you and your entire family are safe."I leaned my head on Ali's shoulder. "I understand. Thank you, Ali?”"For what?""For taking care of me and my family.""You are always welcome. I will do everything to ensure your safety." I felt him kiss my forehead so I closed my eyes.It feels so good to be cared for and protected by the person I love. I can't ask for anything else because I feel his love for me.“Would you like us to have breakfast? The cook at the rest house must have cooked." Earlier, before we left, I talked to our co

Chapter: CHAPTER 104—He's Back!CHAPTER 104—He's Back!Rain's Point of View"Have you talked to Ali again?" I asked while we were in the middle of dinner. To be honest, we all had almost no appetite to eat. The food on the plates doesn't move because they seem to be touching each other."Not yet. Von said the last time we talked earlier that their phones were low on battery. They will go out to buy a charger,” answered Azariah."Do you think, Dad, can they come here to the rest house?" I asked while my attention was on daddy. Even my companions are also looking here.Before dad bowed and he bowed and took a deep breath. He looked at me. "It is possible, Rain, but they themselves said that they will not come here. Because they need to be sure that no one can follow them. Ali and Von just want us to be on the list, especially you and Azariah.” Dad exchanged glances with my cousin and me.I felt Azariah grab me with a free hand that wasn't holding the cutlery."Your daddy is right, Rain," said mom. He gave me a smile t

Chapter: CHAPTER 103—FearCHAPTER 103—FearRain's Point of ViewI was so nervous to do what Elise and I had planned. Azarian also helped us and Von knew the plan. Von was our helper to somehow keep Ali away and not notice what we were planning to do. I took a deep breath. I took a shower and put on light makeup. I dried my hair with a hair blower and just put a gold hair clip on it.I was in front of the mirror trying to study the smile. No matter what I do, I smile and the nervous feeling is still on my face. A part of my heart is also afraid that the plans might come to nothing. Maybe Ali is mad at me and won't accept my apology.When I found out about Elise's true personality, I felt very guilty. I feel like I have a very bad girlfriend. The type that I don't trust the most loved one who did nothing but ensure my safety. My heart sank again because I felt sorry for Ali. I even asked myself if it was worth it for Ali to love me even though I hurt him because I was jealous.Elise says that my feelings are val
