Raphael Francis"You just have been so lucky and happy to have them as your family. I mean, they always look after you and your family seems to be one big happy family" I said even though, I'm boiling deep within me. "Of course, I am. My dad has been the best Dad one would ever ask for and my brothers and mom have always been supportive too. I have nothing else to ask for again. All I just want is for my family to be complete and happy at all times" she said, dreamily. Of course, this has to be a dream because there's no way I'm going to allow that to happen. Not after when her Dad has ruined my life completely. Taking my family wasn't enough for him, I can't believe, he had the intention to kill me as a child also! All thanks to my uncle who saved me while I was a kid. I have no idea what would have become of me now. I would have also been dead or, if he wasn't successful in killing me, I would have been roaming through the street homeless, begging for food and all that. Fuck! Za
Ralphael FrancisI think, she thought I meant my words and I saw her just blush. I smirked again for the fifth time this morning because it has been easy for me to read her like an open book. How her body reacts whenever I'm so close to her. How she looks at me and everything. "Ralph!!!" She was about to protest as she yelled out my name in a frustrated tone. "Fine! One of the guards will take you to the dressing room, you can change into something comfortable and do whatever you wish. I have to leave now, I have something important I need to tend to" I said to her before turning my back to her ready to leave but, her voice stopped me. "Wait!" She walk over to me and stood in front of me. "You're leaving? I mean, you're going somewhere? You will leave only me here in this house?" She bombards me with questions. "I'm not leaving only you here, my guards and maids are here with you so, you don't have to be worried""But still... How can you leave only me here? You brought me to this
Ralphael Francis"What?!!! You're letting her go? Now? Why? You changed your mind?" He bombards me with questions. "Yes, I will let her go once I get back my revenge on them" I said and I heard him hiss. "You're crazy, Ralph. You need to listen to me for fuck sake! Her father can so crazy and ruthless when it comes to his children's safety! Especially his daughter! He can be so protective of Sia! Don't you get it?!" "Lucas, I'm in this already, there's no going back" I hissed. "But you like her, don't you?""Like? Who? That crazy spoilt brat? There's no way I'm going to like a girl like her""Oh please, spare me that Francis! I saw you! I saw everything. The look you were giving her the day I came to your house. I've never seen you look at someone with those kinds of eyes, not even with Bella around you and you know, that I'm saying the truth. You did care about Sia. I just do not know why you're doing this!""I have no idea what you're talking about. Send me the new copy of that
Sihana Caden"So, shall we?" I asked looking at them before making my way out of the room. "No wait!" Anita's voice stopped me. "Aren't you going to wear something on it? Like a jacket or something, just to cover yourself before we get to the pool?" She suggested. "You got that right, so, what should I wear?"We select the jacket together before we saw this black transparent one and I took it. "I think I love this one" After getting it, we all made our way out of the room but before we could saunter downstairs, a thought suddenly popped into my head and I smirked. I turned to face the girls whilst they gave me a suspicious look. "Where is his office?" I asked. "You aren't swimming again?" Bella asked. "Of course, I will but, we need to show the bad boy some things before doing that, don't you think?" I smirked after saying that. They led me to his study room and I burst in on him when I heard him calling out Lucas's name. Does he know that I'm here? No, I doubt that. If he doe
Sihana CadenIt's evening already and I have no idea where Ralph went since the afternoon after that incident we had at the pool. I think, he got a call or something. Ever since then, I didn't set my eyes on him. I have no idea if he's still in this big mansion or if he's out. I asked Bella and Anita about him since they're the only ones I've been so close with since I'm here but, they also told me they have no idea of his whereabouts. I hate this moment. I miss my family so much and I can't leave. There's no way for me. It seems, he knows what I'm capable of doing already and he placed so many guards to keep a watch on the house. Even if I decide to fight them, I will end up fainting or hurting myself. there's no way I'm going to beat them, they're much more than I can handle. I decided to go into his room because I asked Bella and she told me. I walked in and open my mouth in awe. This room is so beautiful and cool too. This man looks so cold on the outside but, everything around
Sihana Caden"You heard me right, Ralphael. Do you love me?" I asked again. "You don't know what you're talking about""Of course, I'm very well aware of what I'm talking about and you know it! Can you stop pretending to me? You claimed you feel something for me and that was the reason you brought me here right then, why can't you answer this one question? Or, you don't like me and there's more to this that I don't know?""Sia, you have no idea of what you're talking about. You need to go get some rest" "I'm not under any alcohol influence. Of course, I know what I'm saying. Just answer my question, do you love me or not?""Fine! I do. Are you satisfied now?" "What?!""You heard me right. I love you but I do not have any idea how to go about this. I don't know how it all happened, okay? I suddenly felt something for you, something strong which I have never felt for anyone! You meddle in my business at first, I was so upset at you and all I wanted to do then was to make you pay for
Sihana CadenTime flies so fast, the days Ralph said I was going to spend with him are now over. The last few days I've spent with him have been a wonderful time for me. Surprisingly, none of us engage in an argument or anything. We understand each other perfectly for the past three days he told me he loved me. We even cooked together and yesterday, he cooked for me. I was so happy. Two days ago, I had this terrible dream and I was so scared, he came into my room looking so worried. When I told him about the dream and said I was scared, before I could realize what was happening, he scoop me up in his arms and took me to his room. Only if perfection was a person, I would have chosen Ralph again and again because this man has been the sweetest being towards me for the past few days. Yes, I know we haven't spent much time together but I love every moment I've had with him, and how he treated me so well. I know, I'm missing my family so much but right now, all I want to do is to be with
Sihana CadenWithout turning back, he walks away. No, no, no. There's no way I'm going to let this happen! No way! I hurriedly get up and run after him. He's already out of the house and now in the exterior of the house. "Ralph, wait!" I stopped him by forcefully turning him around to face me. "Is there more to this that you're not telling me? I told you, if this is about your uncle, we can sort of out. You don't have to be worried about this" "You're so foolish for believing all of my words. Despite knowing who I am and what I'm capable of doing, you still believe every word coming out of my mouth""What are you talking about?" I wipe off my tears and look at him confused. "You will when the time is right," he said and we saw a black car roughly drive into the compound. "I think, your father is here?" He said looking straight into my eyes. The kind of pain I'm feeling right now, the pang I just felt in my chest, and how heavy my chest is right now are not explainable. "You lied
Sihana Caden A Year later If I will be told a day like this would come between Ralph and I then, I would have denied it. Just 6 months ago, I was still adamant in not giving him a chance. For good six months, he tried his best trying to win my heart back. He got into fight a lot of times with Matt, at some point, I got scared because I thought, he would hurt Matt remembering what he did to my ex then when we first met but, Ralph is now a changed person. He's more compassionate and caring too. I slapped him countless times, I hurt him with my harsh words, made sure to hurt his feelings just in same way, he did to me in the past yet, he took all of that without any complains. He didn't go away, he kept telling me he would accept whatever punishment I give him that he deserves everything. All he wanted was for me to forgive him. After a lot of thought and my heart betraying me whenever he's close to me, his change of attitude too made me end up forgiving him. I was glad Matt
Sihana CadenIt's been two days I last saw Ralph. Telling me he won't ever leave not until I forgive him yet, I haven't set my eyes on him again after the last time he collapsed at my door step. Well... Why am I even bothered about his presence?- I thought before rounding up the make up on my face. Matt and I are both going to this restaurant he told me he just found recently. I also realize something that, no matter how we had an argument, we end up settling the issue even before we realize it. He was like a boyfriend who understands his girlfriend. You see why I said, any woman who ends up with him will be so lucky to have him as her man? But, not me. I tried so hard to love him but, I just can't do it. And today, we're both having dinner outside. We both agreed to go out and explore most of the places I've not been to before I leave for New York tomorrow. I made a decision to go back home and, I won't be telling anyone. It will only be as a surprise.I'm sure, my friends, my f
Sihana CadenMy brother just finished telling me how Ralph was poisoned by his uncle, he inject him a dangerous poison. I can't believe he did that because Ralph helped my Dad. They've been trying so hard to find the antidote but it seems, he made sure he got the poison from a place where Ralph would never be able to find the remedy. And now, it's disturbing him according to what my brother had told me. "Sia, I believe you can take care of him, right?" He asked."What are you talking about? Take care of him? But you're here?""I need to attend to something urgent. A message just came in now""What?! But you can't just leave me alone with him here""He won't hurt you, that I'm sure of " he kissed my forehead and left the room in a hurry even before I could protest. How he can easily vouch for him now still amaze me. Just some months ago, none of them wants him for me but now, they're all close to him. Especially Aiden, he now act like he's known Ralph for years. Their closeness is
Sihana Caden Just getting up from the bed and my phone begin to ring. It's my Dad. I wonder what it's this time around. "Hey dad" I said immediately I pick up the call. "It's been 9 months already, getting close to 10th. When are you coming back home?" He asked, going straight to the point. "Dad! You didn't call me this early morning to ask me such question, did you?""Does this seems like a joke to you? From my tone, you should know I'm serious, Sia. When are you coming back home?" He asked again. "B... But. But I thought you told Aiden not to force me concerning this and that, I can decide on whenever I want to come back, Dad?""At this point, I can't help but tell you to come back home Sia. What do you still intend doing over there? Aren't you over the healing process already?""But I-""Your Dad is right, Sia. Please, come back home. We missed you so much. Your father and I, missed you a lot. Because of you, Aiden and Charlotte couldn't push through with the wedding... Don'
•Sihana Caden"It all begin while I was growing up." He begin as he caress my arms. My heart fluttered immediately due to his action. I'm glad, I was seating else, my knees would have gotten too weak and I might end up falling. "My uncle, what he told me was, my parents and my kid sister was killed by your Dad. He also told me, he did that because he was jealous of him. He made me know both our parents used to be a Mafia and at some point, they were both fighting for the leader then. And because your Dad couldn't stand my Dad taking the throne, he killed him, my mom and my sister. He told me he was glad I spent the holiday with him during that period else, I would have been dead too" "That's all a lie! My Dad would never do anything as that callous" I said as I tried to get up from his lap but he stop me immediately. "Please, let's stay like this. This is the only way I can make you understand me and how I feel" "Since when did you become this considerate about other people's fe
•Sihana Caden"Hey" I said faintly to Matt who was still sitting on my couch. I had thought he would leave after what has transpired between us some hours ago but no, he's still here waiting for me to come downstairs. What a gentle man. He hurriedly jump up from his seat and hug me tightly. I could feel his breath, heavily. "I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry for the way I busted at you earlier. I promise, I'm never going to do that again. Please forgive me" he apologized. "It's fine, Matt. You didn't do anything, okay? You were only looking after me. I... I should have listened to you but, I was so taken back by my emotions. I'm sorry too" I apologized. He broke the hug and smiled widely at me. "It's fine. For as long, you've forgiven me then, I'm okay with anything" he said."Thank you for understanding me""I will try my best to always do." He said. "So, what are you going to do about him now that he has find you again?""I don't know yet. I'm still surprised on how he found me" I sai
Sihana CadenAll the fear in me some few seconds ago are all gone and now replaced with anger. I glared hard at him before saying "what are you doing here?" In a very cold tone. The same tone he usually use. "I missed you Sia " he said as he hug me tightly, taking me off guard.This bastard did not just hug me, did he?"Get your filthy hands off me, Ralphael!" I tried pushing him away from me but, he's too stronger than me. He held me tightly like his life depends on it. "Please, Sia. Let's stay like this for a few minutes" he said, surprisingly in a very, very soft tone. "I said, to let go of me" I said again through gritted teeth. Finally, he let go of me and looked deep into my eyes instead, smiling. Did he just smile?!!!!!!Before I could say anything, he walked into my house like it belongs to him. "What the hell do you think you're doing, Raphael?! How dare you showed up in front of me like this?" I asked again. I don't know why my heart is beating crazy like this. I had
Sihana Caden8 months laterIt's been eight months I left home, my family, my loved ones and my work. I left without any traces. I also know, my parents would be hell worried sick about me when they found out I was gone. To make it worse, I left all they could use to track me behind. I know from the beginning that my father has always loved me very much and I'm sure, he would have search every crook and corner of the earth just for me before I finally call them on phone 4 months ago. Though, in the letter I left them, I told them not to bother looking for me that I will be fine but, I know my Dad very well. He has always cared and worried about me than my mom, I can't imagine how he would feel when he realized that I'm gone. Worried?Angry? Or, maybe both. I finally summoned the courage to talk to them four months ago and it was my mom who picked up. I called the house Telecom. Hearing her faint voice speak, I told her it was me. Do I even had to? Because, she called out my na
Mathew Diego Salvador"For the last time, who the hell saw my daughter leaving this house?!!!" Mr. Zayn roared in anger as he ask his guards and maids, making them all shake in fear. When I realized, I finished my work early today in the office, I decided to call Sia on phone. I wanted to ask her if she would want me to get her anything because I would love to see her face tonight before going back home.A month ago, when Mr. Zayn announced our wedding, I was shocked. I wasn't expecting such decision from him considering how he always threaten me to stay away from his daughter. I was happy though, with his decision. I'm in love with his daughter ever since we were kids and that has never changed. I will always love, cherish and respect her all my life- I made that vow to myself already.Calling her number several times, she didn't pick up and that's unlike her. I decided to give her some few minutes before trying it again but yet, same result as earlier.Her phone kept ringing but
