CHAPTER 9 –PackageRaffi's Point of ViewI knocked THREE before I turned the doorknob of the library door where Rock entered earlier. I was thinking about how I would tell him that it was wrong for him to allow daddy to bring a girl here to the mansion. And even though this is Rock's house, I hope my daddy has at least a little respect for mommy who just died.The library is quite dark because only the light from outside the window gives light to that room. The air conditioner was cold, that's why I held my arm.I couldn't see where Rock was because my eyes hadn't adjusted to the darkness. When I heard the clearing of Rock's throat from somewhere I felt where he might be located.When my eyes finally adjusted I just looked straight at Rock. My chest doubled over when I realized he was staring at me."Have a seat," Rock's voice was weak but full when he said that.I immediately sat down in the nearest chair and looked back at him. Even though the lights are not on, I can feel his scary
CHAPTER 10—First NightRaffi's Point of View WE started giving each other passionate kisses. I am now drunk because of him and not drunk because of the alcohol. Honestly, I don't know how to kiss. But I just imitated his way of kissing me. From the way he kisses, I know that he has a desire for me and that causes a strange tickle in my body. And the funny thing is, I like him the same way now.I love the way he kissed and pressed his lips against mine with even greater intensity and desire. I can't believe I've longed for this all my life. Those lips, I don't want to stop.After a while I seemed to come to my senses and realized that what we were both doing was wrong. Maybe it's right because we're married but I'm not ready yet.When I moved away from him, I noticed that he was stunned. Maybe he realizes that I'm not ready yet. I saw how his jaw clenched.We were both uncomfortable. The next thing I saw was that he was leaving on top of the bed and the wardrobe was being adjusted. Ou
CHAPTER 11—Story Not To TellRaffi's Point of ViewMY whole body ached when I woke up the next morning. I looked around the room. I was alone there. I just winced when I felt that my whole body seemed to be swollen, especially my womanhood. When I remembered what Rock and I did last night, I was stunned. My face quickly warmed up.Even if I don't look at myself in the mirror, I know that my face is red and it's as red as a tomato. It seems that I can still feel Rock's every touch and kiss on my body. I smiled when I remembered how he used to worship me.I immediately shook my head. I can't feel that way anymore. I can't forget the real reason why we are married now. I took a deep breath before starting to move but the pain surged through my womanhood. There seems to be a wound. I will not deny that Rock is really big and has something to brag about when it comes to that matter. At first, I wasn't really ready but I was hypnotized when he started kissing and caressing me.I tried to ac
CHAPTER 12—WeirdRaffi's Point of ViewI DON'T know what time I fell asleep. Fortunately, I was in my room so even if I waited for Rock and fell asleep, it would be fine. Whether Rock came home last night I have no idea.Anyway, I feel okay, especially the lower part of my body. I did the right thing by resting it the other day. I tried to stand up and there was no pain. There is only a little.I decided to go out and head to the kitchen. It's only seven in the morning and I'm hungry. I saw some cereal and milk so I put it in the bowl. I sat in an empty chair.I was eating quietly but I was suddenly stunned when Rock entered the kitchen. He seemed to be in a hurry but when he saw me eating, he stopped."H-hi," my voice was weak when I greeted him. I couldn't look directly at him. I just noticed that he seemed very tired. "Do you want to eat?" I will ask. My heart was beating so hard that's why I did everything so that he wouldn't notice me."No. Thank you. I'll just take a shower." Th
CHAPTER 13—AppetizerRaffi's Point of ViewI'm nervous because Rock will eat with me. Earlier he called me which really surprised me and asked if I had cooked. When I said that it was okay, he said that the two of us would eat together.It's okay with me but I still don't know how to deal with him. I still don't know how long I'll be like this. But now I really have to face Rock. Maybe I will take that opportunity to talk to him. That he no longer tells dad private things about the two of us.I prepared the table. Apart from the fact that I'm nervous to face him, I'm also nervous and I don't know if he'll like what I've cooked. To me the taste is okay. It's good but I don't know Rock. I have no idea what his food likes and dislikes are.When I fixed the table, I went outside his office. I stayed there for a while and tried to calm myself down. I wanted to just back off and tell Rock to eat alone but am I going to back off now? I let out a deep breath. I knocked three times later befor
CHAPTER 14—GossipRaffi's Point of ViewI CAN'T look at Rock while we eat lunch. Actually, it's two o'clock in the afternoon. We didn't get down to the dining area right away because this Rock was busy with something else. And I want to sink into my seat again because I've been blown away by him with all my heart.I sighed to get Rock's attention. "Why?" he asked. Rock's eyes are now the normal ones I always see there. The one who is authoritative and doesn't care about others around. It's not like I see it every time we're in the same room and when he claims me."Nothing. Do you want more?"Rock dropped the cutlery he was holding. "Raffi, I can feel when there is bothering to person in front of me. So are you going to tell me that or not?"I looked him directly in the eyes even though I was nervous. I don't know if I should tell Rock. He might be angry."Raffy?" He was shocked by my silence."Did you tell dad about us having sex?"Rock frowned. "What?""Because he found out and was t
CHAPTER 15—Not Ashamed But it's Not AllowedRaffi's Point of ViewI couldn't choose an outfit to wear because Rock didn't say where we were going. He just told me to change my clothes because we were going somewhere. I want to jump but maybe it's better if I just wear a dress.I chose a pink floral dress. It's more comfortable to use than pants. My long hair and I tied it up high. I put light makeup on my face. Just the right thing so I don't look pale. I also chose my perfume that smells like strawberry mixed with cucumber. Recently, that has been my favorite perfume.I chose a light pink sling bag that can hold my phone and wallet. As I walked down the stairs I was still thinking about where Rock and I could be going. I have no idea.There was no one in the living room, so I sat on the sofa and waited for Rock. It didn't take long and I saw him coming out of the library. I thought he was coming from his room. I stood up when he approached me.I can clearly see how he observed my who
CHAPTER 16—It's Really OkayRaffi's Point of ViewI WAS catching my breath when I got outside the big gate. I couldn't remember where Rock's car was parked but I tried to find it anyway. Lots of cars parked in a row. Almost everything looks expensive."Where is Rock's car?" I asked myself. I tried to remember where Rock stopped but I couldn't really remember.I breathed deeply. I feel like I'm lost even though I know I'm just outside Lucille's mansion. But the feeling like I'm lost in the void and don't know where to go and what to do, that's how I feel now.I don't want to call Rock because I might disturb him in his conversation with Lucille and her family."Raffy?"I suddenly turned around when someone called me. I knew it was Rock so I breathed a sigh of relief anyway. "Rock," I called back to him with a slight smile. I saw Rock step towards me."What do you think are you doing?" he asked when he got close to me."Huh? Nothing. I can't do anything here. I can't see your car." I tr
CHAPTER 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 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 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 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 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 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 38—Star GazingRaffi’s Point of ViewI just saw myself entering a restobar located on the roof topwith a classy and elegant look. I didn't have any trouble communicating with the staff there because I know how to speak English. There is talk that we will meet here at La Primera RestoBar located on the rooftop of the hotel. We used to be together but Rock took me here. But I remembered that I left my phone in my room so I took it first. When I found a seat I simply looked at the other customers eating. I simply looked for Rock.If you ask me, it's okay that Lucille is with us. He is kind and fun to be with, so I was worried earlier when Naya mentioned that he was afraid of spiders, so he didn't join us for dinner downstairs.I didn't have a hard time finding Rock because he was on the right side, but he was on the other side. He was wearing a black jacket. I was about to approach him but I noticed that he was with a woman. I frowned but I just stayed in my seat.I don't know t
CHAPTER 37—Knowing HerNaya’s Point of ViewI was just QUIET as I woke up to Lucille who was now sitting on the edge of the bed. Her hand is bandaged and she is stunned. Maybe she was so shocked and scared earlier that's why she's like that now. I cleared my throat then sat next to her."How are you feeling?" I asked.She just looked at me and shook her head slightly. I took a deep breath because it looked like he wasn't okay but I really asked. Both of us focused our attention on the staff who was removing the bruises on the floor."Ma'am, it's okay. I'm going out."I nodded. "Okay. Thank you so much." I stood up and reached for something. The staff didn't want to accept the tip I was giving but I really forced them to accept it. "Take it now.""Thank you very much for this, Ma'am," said the female staff who I think is in her forties. It came out of our room later.I went to the door to double check if it was locked. After making sure it was locked, I turned to face Lucille who was n
CHAPTER 36—LucilleNaya's Point of ViewBecause of the suddenness of being out of town, only a few were involved. Only Raffi and her husband Rock, Me, Anne, Lyndon and Lucille. I just met Lucille and I can say that she is beautiful and kind. I expected that Lucille would have the attitude that we would hate, but I was wrong. It is kind and fun to be with.When we got to an island where we were going to stay for a few days, we were alone in the room. Rock and Raffi were supposed to stay in the same room but since we were with Lucille and Lyndon who both didn't know about the real relationship between the two, we preferred to go solo."Why? Is there a problem?" I asked Lucille when I saw her carrying her things outside the door of my room. "What are you doing there?""There's a spider in my room. I'm afraid of spiders," he said. That's why Lucille was so scared and shaking when I saw her.“Really? Do you want to come into my room first? Maybe you'll sing while we're there." I opened the
