Chapter 76.Raphael visit.Adrian's POV.I was lazily laying on my bed even with the alarm that I set on my phone which had been ringing nonstop, I couldn't stand up from the bed.The alarm rang again.I took my phone and snoozed it, 'Just one last ring and I'll be out of bed.' I told myself for the hundredth time and tucked under the duvet once again."Andy, I'll be off to work now!" Ryan yelled from out of the door."Yeah!" I replied to him tiredly."Don't tell me you're still in bed," He opened the door, "Not again! Andy, it's past 9!"I didn't reply to him, I just turned my back to him and pulled the covers over my head.I felt a side of my bed sinking which told me he sat on it, "Are you sick?""Yes."'Yes, I'm sick! I'm sick of going to Raphael's house every day and I'm sick of keeping up with him. I'm sick of seeing his face, knowing that I was unable to do anything to his handsome face than to stare when he was not looking. I'm sick of rethinking my hatred for him since that d
Chapter 77.Knowing his mind.Adrian's POV.Clothed in a very thick pullover, I was led to the dining room where the food was neatly spread on the table. I took my seat.I don't know where Raphael got the pullover from, it was big and warm. Cozy.Raphael got hold of the plates and opened them up for me while I made sure to glue my eyes to the table like it was the most important thing at that moment.I was desperately avoiding his eyes."I'll feed you," He volunteered, but I disagreed."No, I'll feed myself. I got this."I pulled the plate filled with rice in front of me and dug my spoon into it before he could say another word.The food tasted just like the same old days, just the way his food always tastes. It was welcoming and refreshing and its taste was heavenly. "This is so good." I complimented in my head."You know cooking is my addon."I almost choked because of his response, I never knew that I said those words out loud. I was covered with embarrassment.I cleared my throat
Chapter 78.A moment of truth.Adrian's POV.I was given a fright when Raphael hit on a small rock and the car jerked up, and the fact that the road was very bad and it looked sloppy. I almost thought that we were dying.Fuck that! I thought we were freaking dying!"Raphael!""Chill Adrian, I gat us and I have been here several times, this little bumpy is minimal to all the other times I've come." He spoke like he was driving on a highway, and he had the guts to smile.I took my glare from him and pulled out the seatbelt just in case of anything, I would be able to save my head and bolt out of the car alive. Alone.Though I knew deeply in my heart that I couldn't leave him alone to die, at least I would try my best to save him, but if he tried to tell me that he wouldn't be saved then, sorry, I can do nothing to that.'That's a lie, you'll die with him!' My conscience countered me. Dammit! That's right, I have not even forgiven him for what he did to me yet. He can't die."So, scary b
Chapter 79.Mad but smooth.Raphael's POV.I couldn't wait any longer, it was already taking too much time as I desired and I wanted to create an awareness of Adrian's life to show her that I went to her school to be a lecturer just because of her. I've never in my life see myself being a lecturer but when I saw her that one night, looking so perfect with a good heart, I couldn't ignore her, I had to grab what I saw before it slipped out of my reach, even if it meant painting myself to be someone else."I am that man," I told her.I risked a stare at her and I saw the multiple glances she was sparing me, her look was priceless and she was very serious with everything up, most importantly, she seemed confused.I had to clear her confusion, "When I got broken by my wife, the woman you saw me with, I was very annoyed and hurt, I had to calm myself somehow and I got into drinking, and abandoning my duties, my CEO position, I abandoned my life, leaving everything to the hands of Carter wh
Chapter 80.Difficult relationship.Adrian's POV.I woke up the next morning and it seemed like that was when I began to think. 'What were you thinking yesterday when you kissed Raphael?' I refused to have an answer to that question.I know I wanted him back, I must have been thinking of calming down and listening to him, but I never expected it to be like this, 'I bet he is thinking so lowly of me right now.' I screamed into my pillow, "Ah!"After screaming to my satisfaction, I sat up on my bed with my eyes running to the fixed clock on the wall that was just adjacent to my bed. The wall clock. It read 7:49 AM.'Let's just go to his house, pretend like nothing happened, work and leave in a piece.' I thought to myself and that was the thought that finally managed to get me up my feet.I went to the bathroom and bathed, taking a quality of time in it. When I returned to my room, I picked out a white pair of Palazzo trousers with a white singlet and a red suit jacket.My shoes were r
Chapter 81.Seducing the seductress.Adrian's POV.My eyes remained on Raphael and Karla and finally, the woman turned to me with a very wide smile, "Hi, my name is Karla, I'm the head maid here and I watched Raphael grow from a boy to a man."'That means she had been with Raphael since like forever. Wow. Well done Adrian.I forced out a smile at her, "Hi Karla, I'm Adrian."She laughed, "I know you, Adriana, Raphael always tells me about you and seeing you now, I understand why. You're just too beautiful to be forgotten and you look nice too." She cupped her cheeks, "My son is single too."Her son? Raphael?"No, not Raphael," She replied as if she could hear my thoughts. She came forward to me, "His name is_""No one." Raphael cut Karla off, he was frowning, "She doesn't tell you that she's single, did she?" "She doesn't have to say that, there's no ring in her finger."Raphael grabbed my hand and opened up the dishes on the table and found a dish of salad, he picked out one of the
Chapter 82.When he thought they were good.Raphael's POV.A ringing tone began to resound, distracting us and getting Adriana away from my grip, she must be out of the seduction spell I cast on her.She bolted away from me and began to fix her clothes."Adriana," I called her and tried to reach out to her."Don't! Just, stay away." She warned me and turned away from me, holding her head regrettably, "Oh gosh!" She muttered.'How can I lose control like that? I almost..... almost... Gosh!' I batted my lashes when I heard her words, I bet she thought she was thinking of it in her mind, not knowing that she said it out loud and clear for me to hear it.'Is she regretting it?'No, please.I turned her over to stare at me, "Adrian, are you okay?" I questioned her, trying to hold my gaze with her but she wouldn't allow that, she was avoiding my eyes. Desperately.I sighed, 'What type of dumb question did I even ask her?' I bet she was trying not to punch me in the gut right now, but then,
Chapter 83.A truth she was avoiding.Adrian's POV.Raphael gave me the pair of flip-flops which was obviously his because of how big it was when I slipped my legs into it."Wow! They look good on you." Raphael told me with his eyes fixed on my legs.I knew he was joking, so I just waved it off. "Karla must be waiting. We don't want to keep her waiting for too long, do we?"He shook his head, "No, no." And let out a chuckle, "Come with me, I'll lead you to her."He began to walk towards another part of the mansion. A route that was different from the one we came through, it was also different from the one he went through when he was trying to get me a flip-flop.We climbed down a staircase and when we got to the first floor, he opened a door by the side, revealing the kitchen.I gently entered, taking a step after the other and going patiently with my eyes fixed on the everywhere around the kitchen.It was so beautiful.The kitchen was tiled with tiles which had natural artefacts aro
