Part one
THE DRESS felt rather roomy on Tami as she gave herself one last glance in the car window that played as a substitute mirror.The view of the courthouse behind her sent shivers down her spine, but yet again she was reminded that she needed to be strong for this.Raphael’s preliminary hearing was really hard for her. The extra space in the dress proved just how stressful this past week had been. Not to mention the fact that she hasn’t seen him much either. He was either too busy with his lawyer, or too busy trying to keep a reign on the rumours going around, that could potentially damper his image.However, despite all the stress they both have been going through, this hearing brought them together moreRelated chapters

Part Two***The low buzz of chatter went around the room as Tami stepped inside. Her eyes immediately landed on her family a few seats down. Her heart warmed at the sight. After everything that has happened, plus what just happened outside with Malik, their support meant the world to her. Especially Amy. She has been warming up to Tami again ever since Raphael’s arrest. Slowly, she learnt and understood why Tami stayed and considered her feelings. Tami acknowledged that she hurt them greatly, and she will forever live with it, especially not being there when their dad died. But they were on the road to recovery. All the Knowles women, together. And to make it better, last night they all had dinner with Raphael for the first time. They simply forgot about what would happen the next day, and acted as if they were simply a family meeting Tami’s love interest for the first tim

Five Years Later“Love always finds a way. Years may pass, people may change but love always remains the same. As for these two, they knew their journey had only just begun, yet they couldn’t wait to see where this road called life would take them. The end.”Tami beamed brightly at her husband as she read the finishing line of her book. It had been quite a hassle getting it there, but she was proud that she did it.Raphael returned her smile wholeheartedly as he gently caressed her shoulder, but the glint in his eyes told Tami that he was about to make a joke about something—something that she is not likely to like.&

HIS LITTLE toes curled under the impact of the fall, and tears sprung to his eyes the moment his knees connected with the rocky terrace of the sea cliff. He wailed in pain as little droplets of blood stained the gray stone, and not a single soul stopped to help him.Little Raphael's eyes watered even more as he watched camper after camper waddle passed him, no one even acknowledging his presence.He knew he wasn't the most likable kid at camp, and he was merely forced to go by his dad. Still, he wished someone would show him a little compassion...a little attention, at least once in his life.

Sixteen Years Later THE SMILE never left Tami's face as she climbed the stairs that led to the stage. Cheers from her peers and her family were almost deafening, as she collected her graduating certificate. She felt so proud of the journey she had made thus far, and she was more than eager for the others to come. "Tamika Knowles. Faculty of Pure and Applied Sciences" The reader announced as she smiled for the picture. Despite the heat that encamped her body due to the large black gown, it all felt worth it as she walked from the stage with her degree in hand. She had finished her first stage of becoming a doctor, and she was more so excited to start medical school this fall. Over the years, Tami

Is that the last bag?" Raphael asked his driver, as he handed it to one of the flight attendants."Yes sir. You're all set for your flight" David smiled at the man he's called his boss for the past six years. They weren't exactly 'friends' per se, but they got along quite well.Raphael was even a bit bummed that he wasn't coming with him. But David had his wife and kids here in Puerto Rico. He wouldn't take up his life and leave his home, no matter how well Raphael paid.Raphael understood completely. When his parents separated when he was just seven years old, he had to move from country to country to be with either his mom or his dad, despite the fact that they didn't give a flyi

EXHAUSTED YET exhilarated.That's what Raphael felt when he hit his hotel room's soft bed. He had arrived in Nassau not even six hours ago, yet he had already had the best time in his life in years.He had seen her. He saw the woman he had dreamt of all his life, and seeing her actually went good.His cheek bones hurt from the smiling he had done all the way back to the hotel. Maybe his cheekbones were complaining about such a new position, not being in the least bit used to it. Yet he didn't care.He rolled onto his side with his phone in his hand, gazing at the number he had gotten from her. And she agreed to see him tomorrow again! He just wanted to go to sleep so that the day would come quicker, but he was still so anxious, that he couldn't even close his eyes.

THE NEXT day, Raphael was out of bed from the minute the sun made a peek of its presence over the horizon. Even though they didn't agree to meet at the pub again until 7, he was still very eager to meet her. For the first time in a long while, he was excited about a day. Instead of his usual blazer and slacks, he shrugged on a black T-shirt and dark jeans, swinging his golden watch over his wrist, but eventually took it off when he thought it was too much. His assistant, Maddie, was in the lobby at 7 a.m. already waiting for him when he arrived, but she looked tired. After her talk with Raphael last night about purchasing the women's clothes and appliances, she stayed up an hour later talking to Nick about it, before Nick's wife scolded him and brought him to bed. Nonetheless, Maddie didn'

Being The Billionaire's Captive Chapter 30- La Vie
IT HAD been hours since Tami heard the news, and it all still seemed surreal.Raphael had been the sole reason why she had even been holding up, and now he's gone too?It couldn’t be true. So, Tami didn’t believe it.Fifty-two times. It had been fifty-two times that she had called him, and even when the call went to voicemail every time, Tami was convinced that he was still out and free.Yet despite all that, she still couldn’t help the nudge in her mind— the only voice that was making sense, because it was telling her the truth. The truth that she had been in denial about for the past five hours, but knew she would have to escape from eventually.
Being The Billionaire's Captive Chapter 29-With You
“Please Tami? Today?” Malik had been trying for the past ten minutes to convince Tami to have lunch with him, but to no avail.Even after Tami saw him yesterday and felt pumped about the idea, things have changed since then.Within 24 hours, two different cops visited her house, apparently the case about her alleged kidnapping had been reopened. Heavens knows why, but Tami had a feeling that a certain brown eyed man had something to do with it.After seeing how he left yesterday, the way he eyed Raphael, Tami knew that Malik was the one who did it.Also, Raphael stopped by about an hour ago, talking about the very thing. Cops had been to his hotel room, asking about his relation to Tami
Being The Billionaire's Captive Chapter 28- Malik
THE RAIN was a light patter against the umbrella, but it was the only sound Tami heard.She never heard the sound of what the priest had been saying in the sermon, nor all the nice words that supporters shared.It was all drowned in the sound of the rain and her own sniffles.Raphael held her close to his side with his arm around her waist.Even though he didn’t know Mr. Knowles, the kind words of friends and well wishers gave him just enough information that he needed to know about this wonderful man.Not to mention that since the two whole days that Tami had been home, she had barely said a word to him.Things were just about the same on that part.Her sister was still pissed at her, and her mother had been busy with family, friends and the media, talking about her husband and her returnee daughter.He had tried to be there for her the best he cou
Being The Billionaire's Captive Chapter 27-Reality
IT WAS almost four p.m. when Raphael's driver, Nick, pulled up to Tami's house.Nick had been rather quiet all the way here. The last time he saw his boss and Tami was the night Raphael left for the airport, then Nick heard all over the news that the woman was 'missing'. Poor Nick didn’t know what to do or how to approach the situation, but he surely minded his own business.Nobody spoke all the way here. Not Raphael, not Nick and obviously not Tami.They sat outside the familiar house for over ten minutes, simply because Tami wouldn't let go of Raphael. She knew she was home, but she refused to open her eyes and face reality.The minute she steps through that door, she knew it would al
Being The Billionaire's Captive Chapter 26-Where The Heart Is
THE SILENCE was deafening, but no one dared breaking it.There was nothing to say, and Raphael didn’t know how to approach her either. What started out as a normal, happy morning, turned into a hectic day of packing and arranging flights.She sat at the window alone, staring out the window as the plane lifted from the ground. She hadn’t said anything for the past four hours except 'yes or no', and it was quite worrying.After seeing that post on her sister’s Story, Tami had gone into what seemed like a state of shock. Her eyes weren’t focused and her breathing had never leveled since this morning. It didn’t even seem like she was aware that they were on their way to another country.All she did was stare.Sighing, Raphael pushed a duffle bag under the chair when the plane had leveled in the air. He had to make a lo
