POV: Miguel “You actually thought the Hawkins would stop and come over here to speak with you?” the arrogant guy asked me rudely. I sneered at him, trying not to punch him in the fucking face. If he had said one more thing to annoy me, I would have given him a good beating right here. But I wasn’t in the mood for trouble, the last thing I want is to start a fight that would delay me and keep me from catching up with Marisol. I forced my way through the crowd, maneuvering through the excited men and women who kept trying to catch up with his car. I managed to catch up with the last car before it zoomed off, but one of his guards stepped down and pushed me off roughly, warning me to back off. I tried to explain to him, but he still pushed me off, refusing to look at me twice. He was delaying me and Marisol’s car was already going too far for me to catch up with her. I left him and ran back to my car, and I zoomed off immediately, ignoring the valet and security guards who tried to s
POV: Victoria I spotted him in the crowd…His beauty and charisma stand out, so there is no way in hell that you won’t notice his presence when he’s looking so fucking gorgeous. The first thing that attracted me to him was his eyes those beautiful, beautiful eyes. His eyes were fixed on me, he looked so dumbfounded and I couldn’t help smiling in his direction because he looked so beautiful.I smiled and he smiled back at me, his eyes lighting up like a Christmas tree. I couldn’t stand and stare back at him for long because we were finally going to Dominic’s house to see Claire. I don’t know how he managed to get Dominic to listen to him but he succeeded in getting him to listen and that’s all that matters to me. As the car sped away, I kept turning to look back at him, seeing him struggling to break free from the crowd of reporters and admirers who just wanted to get a picture of Raphael and me to use in the papers and gossip blogs.His face looked so familiar, I kept thinking back t
POV: Victoria “Quite playing around, Claire! We went through hell to get him to listen to us and let you go. Now he said you can leave on your own terms and you say you are not leaving? What the hell is wrong with you, have you gone mad?” I asked her furiously, yelling at the top of my voice. But she couldn’t care less about my anger, she made her decision and stuck to it. I couldn’t get her to listen to me, not even Mom could get her to change her mind and come home. It’s been two days since we spoke to her and I was getting so restless and worried about her, that I didn’t even get the chance to speak with her after she hung up on Mom angrily. It has never happened before, not even when she was forced to break up with Kyle before Mom was hospitalized. She had never been this furious with anyone, and now she is blaming me for Kyle's death, blaming Mom, and even blaming Raphael who wasn’t there when Mom and I forced her to break up with Kyle and took her phone away. But we l
POV: Victoria “What were you saying to Mom earlier today, why did she speak with you and not me?” I asked him out of the blue, breaking the silence between us.“You have got to be kidding me right now!Are you fucking kidding me?!” He yelled angrily. “First you were drooling over some stupid boy you just saw and now you want to know what I discussed with your mom?How did we go from that to this, were you thinking about it the whole day?Why didn’t you just ask me the moment you thought of it, why wait until now when we have other important matters to attend to. You could channel all these energies into taking back the company from your father and becoming an independent woman like your mom always wanted.” He told me angrily. “So that’s it then?” I let out with a smirk.You know, I was wondering why you were so upset with me. I thought it was my mom or the guy I was staring at earlier. I even thought it was because of what Dominic said earlier. But it seems I’ve been wrong and stup
POV: Victoria Claire is in love with Dominic already, she has fallen deeply in love with him and I can’t even begin to imagine how she found herself in this situation, like, How does she fall for these dangerous guys so easily, what is it with her and guys that could hurt her and break her heart?“It was love at first sight, Vee, he’s so special, so caring and understanding. I know everyone thinks he is a bad person because of his job, but he is not as mean as they make him out to be. He is so cute, so nice and loving.” She told me excitedly, a blush creeping up on her face. “Remember when you stuck with Raphael and agreed to be with him despite the rumors flying around about him and his relationship with his family?That is exactly how it is with Dominic and I. Everyone just looks for his flaws and not his good side. He is not as bad as they make him out to be, he is the best man I’ve ever met,” she confessed excitedly, making me laugh at her silly comparison.Like, how does she c
POV: Raphael I tried to stop her from leaving, but she refused to listen to me. As she approached the car, Dominic sent his maid after her and she ran after her with a jewelry box in her hand. She handed it to Victoria with a warm smile on her face, “Dominic wants you to have this as a sign of good will. He said to tell you that it’s just a little gift from your sister, Claire.” She told her, making her teary all of a sudden. She turned around, and she spotted Claire by the window blinds staring at her with tears in her eyes. She is not happy with her sister, I could see it in her eyes. But she sure as hell didn’t plan to leave so angrily and cut off ties with her sister. That wasn’t the plan when we decided to come over here, the plan was to get Claire to calm down and not to get Victoria pissed off as well. She is just too pissed to be reasoned with. I didn’t say a word because could see through her pretense and I knew exactly what was wrong with her. Everyone thinks she is unrea
POV: Raphael “I don’t care what you two have going on, Dominic. Just keep him away from me, I’m not related to him and I don’t want to be!” She called out from the top of the stairs, giving orders to Dominic as if he were her bestie or something. I opened my mouth in shock, and I didn’t need anyone telling me that it was all her. Whatever she is doing to her family is not an order from Dominic. It’s all her!She fucking hate their guts right now. It’s as if she suddenly changed into a completely different person, she doesn’t even want to hear anything I have to say, and she used to be so cheerful and chatty around me, what changed?“What in the world did you do to her?” I asked in shock, looking at him as if he were some strange creature from another planet. “Really, Raphael?Really?” Dominic asks in annoyance. “Did you forget about our plans to help the girls already, are you going to side with your girlfriend and blame me for making her sister bold and fearless?” he responded an
POV: Raphael “That’s your woman’s car over there, would you like to stop by and find out if she is doing okay?” Dominic asked me, pointing to Victoria’s car which is parked in front of a restaurant a few miles from his house. It’s on the same road as the restaurant where we had met Dominic earlier today. I wonder if she went back there to meet with that guy. Is she planning to have an affair with him?“Wait, how do you know she came here, how did you know where I’ll find her?” I asked him curiously. I know he didn’t just point it out of the blue. He looked as if he knew exactly where she was before we even got to that spot. “Of course I had her followed, what the hell is wrong with you?Do you think I would let her walk away without a guard? That’s stupid!And you need to do better, Ralph, you need to take better care of your woman and treat her special!” He warned me sternly, trying to keep a straight face but failing at it.“Really?Are you really going to give me a speech on mor
