Chapter 100.A nightmare to remember.Adrian's POV."Lincoln?"The words slipped out heavily like a big rock in my throat."Sweet Adrian." He remembered me too.In the next second, I was in his arms. I don't know how I got in, but he was hugging me very tightly and passionately."Oh, Adrian!" He muttered.I didn't bother to hug him back; I just stood in his arms, looking like a statue.I don't know how to react to his presence.Maybe to be happy that he was in London or be sad and not like we were in agreement before we departed.Again, what transpired between the both of us was not his fault, it was Raphael's, so it shouldn't be held against him. I know.But with all the words in my head, I couldn't bring myself to return the hug he was sharing with me.I was still statue-stricken.He disengaged from the hug and held my shoulders."Where have you been? Have you been here? No wonder I couldn't find you with all the thorough searching of the state." Lincoln said to me.Still, I replied
Chapter 101.Lincoln is going too.Raphael's POV.The day broke, and I was still with my love. I spent hours with her, and that made my morning.We ate the food I cooked, which was mashed potatoes and fish, and what we did after was to see a movie collection together.I understood that she must have had a frightening dream, and that must have got her all shivered up, and seeing her like that moved a thing in me that I forgot how to return to sleep.My eyes became so dried up, and I knew this was fate, I had to do everything in my power to please my love, and I enjoyed each piece of it."Babe, I'm sorry, I took your sleep away from you, that's selfish of me." Adriana apologized to me.We were in the main sitting room, seeing a movie I was not concentrating on, my full focus was on her.She was my interesting movie, and each smile on her beautiful face radiated my heart and gave me a pleasing calmness.With her between my legs, folding her legs on the couch in a meditating post and me f
Chapter 102.Unplanned proposal.Raphael's POV.My eyes were fixed in the mirror as I adjusted my bowtie and gazed at my reflection in the mirror.My whole eyes bloomed with gladness as my brain processed everything that would be happening today. 'Adriana will be my fiancee. She will return home with a ring tucking her slender, beautiful finger. My ring.'My hand dropped to my pocket and the box felt like a treasure in a hidden and dark cave. The box was there.I felt the race of my heart when I imagined her tear-filled eyes as she stretched out her hand for me to clothe her finger with the metal.Her loud 'yes' and flushed cheeks combine with her trembling lips as I would claim them with mine. 'But what if she says no?' That doubtful mind questioned me, but I had no answer to give to it. I know my girl, I know who she wants and I have no reason to doubt. All I have to do is to get my butt out there, tell the world who the fuck I am and get on my knees to know my fate.I know there'
Chapter 103.She said yes!Adrian's POV.I had been watching the strange attitudes that were rising within Raphael, the ceased that squeezed up the flesh on his forehead, his thin lips that spoke of danger ahead and his clenched hands that told me that a battle was going on in his head.I wanted to comfort him, to stretch forward and pull his head on my shoulder for ease to whatever he was battling with.To tell him 'All is well.'I wanted to hold his hands and squeeze them to remind him that he was not alone, that I could be a knight too, but he caught himself before I could make a move.He pulled out something in his pocket and asked me to marry him.I chuckled. What think of a joke is that? Are we in the karaoke or the cinema? Are we clowns? Jokers? What kind of joke? And in the car to his interview?That was funny and it hurt at the same time, but who am I to blame him? It was Galton's fault, who wanted me to try on a different taste of makeover.Who was I to complain to him that
Chapter 104.His heart.Raphael's POV.My heart was bubbling, it felt like it went for a vacation of jolly filled with merriment and joy. It was dancing with its beats like steps tapping the dance floor as it got lost in the harmony of the song with the dance.It took me to the place I should be, in a crowd with smiling faces jiggling with words of congratulations.A longing wish came true yet again. The world was happy for me.The engagement with Gianna was nothing compared to this, it was done in a private restaurant which had just myself and Gianna as its customers.It was under a perfectly harmonious melody, and I asked her the question, which she replied with moist eyes. She cried, but I didn't, though I was happy then too.But right now, I felt like crying with how much happiness was occupying my heart like a balloon that was compressing air in it, just like that. My stomach was tightening like a fastened seatbelt and my lips quivered, unable to be able to explain what I was fe
Chapter 105.Being who I wanted her to be.Raphael's POV.As I spilt those words, I was expecting her shock and disagreement, but instead, she pushed herself into me more than she had and wrapped her hands around my shoulders.She leaned to my ears and whispered her reply, "I'll say let's get married tomorrow or two days."It was I that was stricken with the shock, "What?" It came out as a weak question."What?" Hers was sharp."You just display how eager you are to get me wrapped. I thought I was the eager one.""Not when all girls want you now. They were not there when we were suffering_" I cut into her words."I was never poor to suffer."She hit my chest, "Not that type of suffering. We both suffered mentally and psychologically and suffered some cold nights. Apart. Alone."They were not there when I was in a secret relationship with my lecturer when he got fired, and I was stricken with worries about how he would fend for himself."They were not there when we lost our baby. They
Chapter 106. He hated his brother's girlfriend.Raphael's POV.It was Lincoln who called me.I turned fully to him, "Hey, you're here. Thought you wouldn't make it after you missed the interview.""I didn't miss the interview. I watched it live, and the way you broadcasted us as brothers was cool."I chuckled and nodded before my eyes moved to the lady holding firmly to his arm.I didn't spare her more than a glance before questioning Lincoln, "Who's she?" I nudged towards her direction."Oh yeah," He pointed at her, "This is Millar, my girlfriend."That name rang a bell in my head, but I put no mind to it, what caught my attention most was the fact that he was in a relationship with another person that was not Adriana. Lincoln was over my love! He moved on!I smiled and could finally be at rest, "You're doing well man." I patted his shoulder.He chuckled."So, you're engaged, I see."I nodded, "Yeah, and soon will be off the unmarried men, leaving you to it." That was a joke, so we
Chapter 107.I would destroy her.Lincoln's POV.I threw my phone to the walls as soon as I set my feet into the penthouse of my hotel located here in London.I only managed to keep the pains in my within til I got to the penthouse.When I was in the car, my hands were fidgeting so that I couldn't hold anything, not even my phone, and so, my legs, wobbled, if I had worn another footwear that was not as housing as sneakers, I bet my legs could have slipped off I held my head and my eyes itched with unshed tears, 'Why is this happening to me? Why must Raphael have everything I desire? Just why?'My fingers snaked into my hair and clenched it, and I shut my eyes, unable to hide in the pain I was feeling in my heart. My heart was screaming with each side of it, fighting against each other. It was broken into pieces and I hated to be like this.I began to feel great pain from my scarp, which I was pulling my hair from, but at that time, the pain was nothing to me. It was merely compared
