"Here is your black coffee and your croissant Sir", Ashley said and Rafael is still staring at her which made tremble and spilled a little hot coffee on her hand.
"Ouch", Ashley said.Rafael took immediately the coffee form Ashley's hand and said :"Are you ok ?""Yeah, I'm fine. It happens to me almost all the time", Ashley said and then looked at her hand.But then Rafael noticed that her hand was a little bit red."Are you sure you are ok ?", Rafael asked."Yes, Sir. I'm fine don't worry", Ashley replied and then hide her hand."Then let me see your hand if you are really alright", Rafael asked."I'm alright Sir you don't need to worry for me", Ashley answered him but suddenly Rafael takes her hand which was burned by the hot coffee and then he blew on it.Ashley was like frozen at that moment while looking at Rafael who is blowing on her hand."It's not serious but you'll have to put ice on it", Rafael said."Yeah, sure. Thank you Sir", Ashley said, trying to free her hand."Rafael. You can call me Rafael, not Sir", Rafael told her."Alright Rafael. I'm just going back to the counter now and don't hesitate to call me if you need something else", Ashley said and then returned to the counter."Ash, are you ok ? Your face is a little bit red", Lola asked."Yeah, I'm fine. I think I just need a little break. I need some fresh air", Ashley said and then removed her apron and came out of the coffee shop by the back door to the kitchen that was right behind the counter.But when she returned inside, Rafael was no longer at his table. She turned her head everywhere to try to find him but it was obvious that he was no longer in the coffee shop."Uh... Lola ?! Where is the guy who was sitting at this table there ?", Ashley asked curiously."You mean Mr. S*xy", Lola said with a flirty voice."Yeah but his name is Rafael actually", Ashley replied still looking for him."Even his name is s*xy. But why are you looking for him ? Is our Ashley interested in him ?", Lola said teasing her."No ! What are you talking about ? I'm really not interested in him as I find him very impolite. And I'm only looking for him because he...didn't give me any tips", Ashley said nervously."Really ? You are not interested by him ?", Lola asked with a flirty voice."Yeah, I'm really not interested in him", Ashley replied, a little bit annoyed."Ok, if you are really not interested in him then you won't need this card that he left for you then", Lola said while holding a small card in her hand."What card ?", Ashley said abruptly."See , you are interested in him. So now just admit it and then I'll give this card to you and he also left you very very big tip", Lola told her and then winked at her."Fine ! I may or may not be interested in Rafael. Give me that d*mn card now", Ashley said, trying to take the card from Lola's hand."Okay but you know that I've already taken this card in picture", Lola said while handing the card to Ashley.Somewhere in the city's dock"What happened ?", Rafael asked furiously."Someone diverted our new cargo last night. They attacked our men from behind then they didn't see anything coming. Apparently it was a planned attack", Carlos replied."Tell me it was not our new cargo of weapons", Rafael said still furious."Unfortunately, it was Capo", Carlos said.Then Rafael shouted."It was a new military type weapons that cost me very much. How did they know we were carrying weapons ?", Rafael asked, who was fuming of rage."I don't know myself Capo ", Carlos replied and looked down."Who others were aware for these weapons ?", Rafael asked."Apart from you and me there was only Diego and Charles who knew. Charles was among our men who were attacked last night and the other subordinates with him last night didn't know at all what they were carrying. And for Diego, he has sent the weapons from Spain, that's all", Carlos replied quickly."How much has we lost last night ?", Rafael asked, still furious."Roberto is doing the exact inventory of all we lost and for the moment we only lost about 1O million but it's still rising", Carlos said."Are there at least some suspects or a track of who could do that ?", Rafael asked."For the moment, no, we don't have any suspects but many of our men are already working on it", replied Carlos."Keep me informed for any news and Carlos not a word to Mateo, I want to announce it to him myself when the moment will come. But for the moment I don't want him to worry for that", Rafael said."Alright, as you wish Capo", Carlos said.Rafael's thoughts"The person who did that will pay for this and I don't care who it can be. This person doesn't know at all in what mess he or she just put himself in".Somewhere in a hiding place in the city"Everything went out as you planned Mi Capo and Rafael doesn’t suspect anything at all," said two men perfectly synchronous and in turn so everyone finish the sentence of the other ."Excellent ! You did a great job ! And of course nobody is still aware that I'm back in town, right ?", a mysterious man with a Spanish accent said."Si Mi Capo, no one is aware and especially not Rafael", the two men replied in turn again." Very good ! Because I really want to make a little surprise for him. Don't forget to keep a look at him in the meantime", the mysterious man said."The twins. You can move to the second phase of the plan now", said the mysterious man again."Escuché Capo (Understood Boss)", affirmed the two men at the same time."Rafael, you have no idea at all in what a mess you put yourself in right now. I'm coming to take back what belongs to me and no matter what it will cost me. You won't stop me this time ", said the mysterious man again and then laughed devilishly.The rest of Ashley's day was like usual, she went on class, then worked at Jo's restaurant.Several days went after Ashley and Rafael's meeting. "What I should do with that now", Ashley said to herself while holding Rafael's card with his number on it. "Should I call him ? No, of course not it's not. If I call him now, what could I tell him, huh :" Hi Rafael, it's the girl that burned her hand at the coffee the other day". Pathetic Ash, very pathetic. And if I don't call him, I won't see him again as he doesn’t even have my phone number", Ashley said to herself. "Ash, are you ready ? You better be ready because you are the only one that we are waiting for", Kamila shouted while looking for Ashley everywhere in her appartment. "Yeah ! Yeah ! I'm ready", Ashley replied. "Oh ! What are you wearing ? No way you are going there dressed like that", Kamila said. "What's wrong with my clothes ?", Ashley asked while looking at herself. "Ashley, sweetie, we're going to a nightclub and that dress isn't short enough. And these shoes, just horrible. Please take that off immediately
On my way to exit from the nightclub, I passed in front of the V.I.P corner and then someone just grabbed me by the waist just behind me and then said : "wanna dance with me baby ?". This man was stinking alcohol which was just disgusting. "No, thank you", I replied to him while trying to free myself but then he pulled me closer and tight me very hard against him and said : "I think you didn't understand very well what I just said. I want you to dance with me and I don't accept a no as answer". "And I said that I don't want to dance with you so now let go of me", I told him and then I still tried to free myself but I have just hit him with my elbow. "Ouch !! You punctured me an eye. You'll pay for that b*tch", the man said angrily but then I felt that he loosened his grip on me so I took the opportunity to free myself and then I ran as fast as I can but it's wasn't easy as the nightclub was crowded. And when I turned around just one second
Meanwhile as Rafael and Lorenzo were talking in Rafael's office at the nightclub , Carlos took Ashley to a private room as Rafael ordered him to . " So you are Carlos , right ? " , Ashley asked Carlos to break the deafening silence as it's been a while now that she was there with him and he still didn't say anything . " Yes , that's my name " , Carlos simply replied . " I'm Ashley , nice to meet you Carlos . You work for Rafael , aren't you ? " , Ashley asked again . " Yes , I'm his right hand " , Carlos said coldly . " What do you do for him exactly ? " , Ashley asked curiously . " As a right hand , Rafael gives me his full confidence and I give him my total loyalty . Thus , he gives me the most delicate and important tasks. And it's up to me too to take care of his businesses when he isn't there or when he is busy with something or someone else " , Carlos explained to Ashley . " Ah !! I see now . You are like his best friend then and you must know everything about him even his
" I'm okay Rafael. I just need my clothes and my phone. My friends are certainly worried about me. That's all and then I'll leave " , Ashley said . " I'll bring you new clothes and your phone too but I won't let you go anywhere " , Rafael told her . " Excuse-me ?! ", Ashley replied to him, surprised. " Maybe you didn't hear me very well, I' ve just said that I' ll leave , it wasn't a question but a statement ", Ashley then replied to him confidently. Then Rafael started getting closer to Ashley but she stepped back as he approached her and she almost fell. Luckily, Rafael caught her and delicate her right hand on back for Camera from falling and Ashley felt from a shot of the thrills browse all his body then his heart started beating faster and stronger than she was afraid that Rafael could hear it beating so fast. " And I said that I won't let you go anywhere ", he whispered before saying : " and it's an order not a statement " " You can't keep me here ", she shouted. " Of cour
A week is now past after attack at nightclub, for me it was a pretty difficult week because every night I still had horrible nightmares on what happened in addition every time I walk in The street, I have a very strange feeling, as if someone followed me wherever I went and still as if I was watching more closely. There is always this black car who always waits in front of my apartment every day and that I also find in front of the university and to be honest it's very frustrating. I walked quietly in the street to go home after classes when I noticed that this man dressed in black was already behind me a few minutes before I left the university. " I need to know if that guy is really following me or not. So, I'm going to stop at this grocery store. I will pretend to buy something and then I'll see if it's there too or if he follows his own way ", Ashley said to herself. She really stopped at the grocery store and entered there to pretend to buy something and then she noticed that
" Now let me go ", Ashley said. " Are you sure that's what you want ? ", Rafael asked with a seductive voice. " Wh...at ?! ", she replied, confused. " Do you really want me to let you go ? ", he asked again. " Yeah... I mean yeah I want you to let me go ", Ashley stuttered. " Alright then. I have something to take care of and then I'll get you home ", Rafael said, moving away from Ashley. " Ok, no problem ", she told him and then they left the room. Rafael returned to the conference room and Ashley went in the kitchen in hope to find the lady who let her go the other day. " May I he
Ashley's day took place as usual: she worked at the cafe before going to her classes and worked at Jo's restaurant after the end of her classes. It was now time for her to prepare for dinner with Rafael. Obviously, she is very nervous about the accessories of this dinner since it has been now that she does not come out of a man.She hesitated a long time to choose what outfit she was going to wear, but she finally decided to wear a blush pink A-line short homecoming dress with a V-neck and with a square toe ankle strap, chunky heel sandals and a mini light pink color bag. She then put some makeup on her eyelids, not too much but just enough to highlight her eyes and then put a fruity lipstick on her lips.Then someone knocked on the door" Yeah, I'm coming ", Ashley shouted as she hurried to open the door.
" Thank you so much Rafael for tonight, I had a great evening ", Ashley told him. " Despite the fact that you ate snails tonight ", Rafael said, chuckling. " Yeah, despite that. I had a great time with you tonight. Next time, I'll let you choose them for me", she said and then laughed. " Next time ?!", Rafael asked while looking at Ashley. " Yeah, I mean ... if there is a next time ... like if you still want to hang out with me next time not tomorrow but next time next time", Ashley stammered. " Sure ! I had a great time tonight with you and I think we should totally hang out again. Just tell me when you are free ", Rafael told her. " Alright ! Good night Rafael !", As
Earlier this morning, Ashley's phone rang as she was still asleep. " Hello", she took the call with a sleepy voice. " Hi ! Are you Ms. Ashley Conrad ?", a male voice replied behind the phone. " Yes... Ashley speaking", Ashley said still with a sleepy voice. " Well, I'm officer Marshall. We need you to come to the police station right away. Your father, Paul Conrad, had been arrested last night and he has very serious injuries", replied the male voice. " What ?! ", Ashley said, surprised and almost jumped from her bed. " Yes, Ms. Conrad, he had been arrested and asked to see you here at the police station and that it was very urgent", the officer told her. Ashley sighed and replied : " Alright, I'll come right away officer" and the call ended. Ashley hurried to change into a proper outfit as she was still in her pajamas and then immediately left her apartment. It wasn't the first time that Ashley's father was arrested and that Ashley had to get him out of jail. Although, it wa
Rafael's thoughts after they were caught by the police The return of the cargo was only the tip of the iceberg, I had no idea that something could happen after that. How couldn't I see this coming? Someone knew about the guns, he or she knew where it would be delivered, then that person kindly returned them a few days later to be delivered to Don Calderon and for me to be arrested by the police. Whoever did this was very well informed, either there's a mole among my men or among Don Calderon's. However, none of my men knew the meeting place between Don Calderon and me. So the mole must be among Don Calderon's men. In any case one thing is sure, the person who dared to attack me will pay for it with his life. I will flush him out myself if necessary and this person will die by my hands in excruciating pain because no one, I mean no one, attacks Rafael Herrera and gets away with it. Rafael is very influential and had friends in very high places all over the government, because either
As soon as the two men shook hands, Ryan shouted from behind them : " everyone froze now !!! '' while pointing his gun on them. " Rafael Herrera , you are under arrest " , Ryan shouted again as many other police officers, armed to the teeth , appeared little by little , encircling Rafael, Don Calderòn and his men. Earlier that day , at the police headquarters Ryan spent most of his day analyzing again and again the photos of the envelope he received and when he was about to give up, another envelope had been reached. He opened it quickly, once again the envelope contained many photos but this time they was where we saw Rafael and his men moving the crates containing the weapons he had seen before on the first pictures. " Bingo! I hold you now Rafael Herrera “By shaking the envelope again, he found a small note with an address this time. But it's out of town?! " , Ryan said to himself. A few minutes later, Ryan received a call from an unknown number. " Bold speaking ! " , he sai
Rafael and Carlos hurried to join Diego and Rafael's other men on the docks after Rafael had received this weird call from them. " Rafael ?! Finally you are here . Come on, you really need to see that " , Diego said as he dragged both Rafael and Carlos to follow him. Rafael, shocked by what he was seeing, completely froze once arrived there and as for Carlos, he only said : " what the h*ll is that ? " " Can someone tell me what the f*ck is that thing doing here ? How is this even possible ? " , Rafael said a few minutes later. " We don't know Capo. We only found it once we arrived here " , one of Rafael's men explained. " Have you checked what was in these containers ? " , Rafael asked. " Not yet, Capo. I specifically ordered everyone to touch anything before you see that " , Diego answered. " Alright ! If this is really what I think, then, open these damn containers so we can see what is in there and use gloves when you open them to avoid letting your fingerprints on them " , R
Ashley has spent the whole night at Kamila's apartment as Kamila was feeling very upset after she had surprised her father having an affair with an intern in his company. It was not the first time that had happened, Kamila's father had an affair with several other women before. Kamila had surprised him the first time when she was 12 years old, her father had promised her not to have an affair with another woman again if she did not talk to her mother about it but of course Kamila's mother already knew about his affair. Later, Kamila surprised him again with another woman when she was a second year student at Wrentford. Her father once again had promised her to end his affair immediately and that he won't start again and Kamila thought that he had really stopped until a few days ago, after she argued with Ashley, Kamila had surprised her father with an i
Days went by as Ashley was still angry against Kamila and that they didn't talk to each other yet. It was not the first time that Kamila talked to Ashley like that, she always likes to remind her that they don't have the same backgrounds and sometimes Ashley asked herself why is she still hanging out with her. As Ashley was finishing her shift at Jo's restaurant, Brad came into the restaurant, sat at a table and read the menu. Noticing him, Ashley didn't bother to come towards him as she already knew why he was here and continued to wipe the table. " Ashley ?! We have a customer at table four. Go take his orders ", Jo told Ashley. " Uh... Actually, Jo, do you mind if someone else takes his orders, I'm not really in the mood to talk to him ", she replied. " Nooo
" Thank you so much Rafael for tonight, I had a great evening ", Ashley told him. " Despite the fact that you ate snails tonight ", Rafael said, chuckling. " Yeah, despite that. I had a great time with you tonight. Next time, I'll let you choose them for me", she said and then laughed. " Next time ?!", Rafael asked while looking at Ashley. " Yeah, I mean ... if there is a next time ... like if you still want to hang out with me next time not tomorrow but next time next time", Ashley stammered. " Sure ! I had a great time tonight with you and I think we should totally hang out again. Just tell me when you are free ", Rafael told her. " Alright ! Good night Rafael !", As
