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
POV: Raphael “It's simply, you just have to convince Victoria to sign over the company to Cindy. That’s all you need to do. With that company in her name, my daughter can be accepted by your grandfather. All she needs is the company and Nathan will be hers,” she explained.“Or you can still choose to pair me with this guy right here. Is he wealthy like you, Does he have estates and companies in his name too?” She inquired excitedly. “I won’t settle for you if you were the last woman on planet Earth. Back off, loser!” Dominic warned again, this time he pushed her hand off roughly, glaring daggers at her. “Enough already!Are you in or out?Make up your minds quickly so you can get the fuck out of my house before my husband returns and finds you here!” she warned. She is trying to be smart, she wants to take away the one thing the girls have after they all connived and ruined their lives. I decided to play word games with her until she revealed something that might be helpful to me.
POV: Raphael “Start talking!” I told him sternly the moment we got into the car. He corked his eyebrow in question pretending not to know what I was talking about. But I could see the smile on his lips and I know he is just messing around with me. He knows exactly what I’m talking about.“Don’t you fucking mess around with me, Dom. If you had it figured out already, then why the hell did you drag me over here to make a fool out of me, what games are you playing?” I asked him.“Well, that is because I didn’t have the answers before we got here, asshole. If I knew all this then why the hell will I waste my time in coming down here to meet with those two whores. You think I have all the time in the world?” he retorted angrily. I squint my eyes to stare at him, I don’t really understand what he is talking about.“You are not making sense right now, you need to tell me what is going on before I lose it!” I let out in frustration as the driver pulled out of the parking lot and sped down th
POV: Miguel “Is this seat taken?” I asked her with a smile on my face. I didn’t even need to ask that because I’d seen her walk into the restaurant alone and sad. I pulled out the seat next to her and I sat on it, looking into her teary eyes.She ran a hand through her hair, the soft, luxurious fabric of her dress a stark contrast to the storm brewing within her. The tears had stopped, but the ache in her chest lingered. It’s Raphael!It’s got to be Raphael, I’m sure of it. He had been so cold, so dismissive. I’ve heard stories about him, I know how brutal and heartless he can be. I’ve not had the opportunity to deal with him before, but it seems we are destined to cross paths. I keep trying to avoid him, but the more I avoid him, the more we keep clashing on different occasions.“Who hurt you, Marisol?” I asked her, forgetting that she had no idea what I was talking about. My voice startled her, pulling her back to the reality of the bustling restaurant. She looked up, her heart s
POV: Miguel I never thought the day would come when that void in my heart would be filled to the brim. I never knew I would be this happy to walk around town with the one person that has been missing in my heart all these years. I don’t even know how I managed to survive all these years without her.We went to the mall, I practically begged her to accompany me over there. I just had to buy her a present, something we would use to remember the day when we found each other. She was a bit skeptical about following me around town and getting caught on camera with the strange new guy in town.“Raphael would kill if this gets to the papers tomorrow. You know he accused me of having an affair with you this morning,” she scoffed, laughing at the idea of having an affair with me. “Why would he think that?” I asked her, feigning surprise.“Well, he caught me gawking at you while you called out to me from the crowd. I’ve never been one to care about my admirers before and be know I don’t have
POV: Miguel We went from one store to the other, picking out different outfits and accessories. It was during a stop at a jewelry store that I spotted a particular piece of jewelry that made my heart race with excitement and nervousness. I picked up the matching gold wristwatch first, glancing at the one on his wrist. It felt right, like a secret tie between them. It’s supposed to be a wristwatch for couples, but I feel we should have it, I want us to have it. It feels just right.“This looks beautiful!” I told her, drawing her attention to the matching wristwatches. She looked at me, her eyes looking sad and uncertain. I knew it was boldly written at the top that it was for couples. That alone is enough reason for her to reject my offer for this expensive matching wristwatch. “Raphael and I have the exact same thing at him. It would be so weird if I had two of the same brand of wristwatch, don’t you think?” she asked me smiling beautifully as she walked over to another brand on the
POV: Miguel“What games see you playing with me, Vera, why did you deceive me?” I heard Austin yelling at his wife, his coming sounding mean and arrogant. “Games?What games, my love?I wasn’t playing any games, what are you talking about?” She asked him, her voice a little bit shaky. It’s either she is terribly scared of him or she is lying her ass off to save her own skin. “The call was a lie, I didn’t get any damn contract from Raphael Hawkins, dammit!I wasn’t even allowed to get past security because he gave that order before he left his office. He made me look like a fool, and it's all your fault Vera, you advised me to go for that contract, you told me it was going to be great. Why did you tell me to go, Vera, did you make me leave the house just so you could host Raphael Hawkins and Dominic fucking Morell!” he yelled in her face, making her gasp in shock and land a hot slap on his cheek, hitting him so hard that his cheek turned the other way.“All I do, I do because of you,
POV: Miguel “Do you know who I am?” I asked again, my stern gaze fixed on him. He squinted his eyes to stare at me closely, his forehead creasing in thought. He is obviously thinking about it deeply, wondering who I am. His face doesn’t even look as if he has a wild guess, he looked completely lost, giving me a look that say that there is no way in hell that he would know someone like me.I still stood outside the grand Kendall mansion, my heart racing with anger, livid anger. I can’t believe that I’m still left standing outside like a fucking nobody. When I pressed this doorbell, I was hoping to be recognized as the twin brother of the child they had stolen. I nearly heaved a sigh of relief when Austin Kendall opened the door himself. But here he is, his expression was one of suspicion as if I were a thief or a fucking nuisance.“Who the hell are you?” he repeated, eyeing me like a criminal. Frustration boiled within me, I couldn't believe he was still repeating the same question to
