Chapter Five

Raphaella laughed nervously. “Stop playing, Sebastian.”

Sebastian sent her a pointed look that told her he wasn't playing at all. “Do you want me to come to do that for you?”

F**k! That sounded very tempting to Raphaella at the moment, but she shook her head at the thought, trying to get rid of temptation and stand her ground.

“Do you think if you said strip, then I'll do as you asked just because you're what… hot?!” Raphaella asked, sarcastic.

Sebastian smirked at her and started walking towards her slowly, he was like a lion that was after his prey and making sure that the prey won't run.

“It seemed to me that you were all ready to bark if I had commanded that.” He replied teasingly, Raphaella frowned at him.

“You're an asshole, Sebastian and F.Y.I, you aren't all that, and I'll never let you control me.”

Except when we are in the bedroom, Raphaella thought, but the arrogant man didn't need to know that.

Sebastian had finally closed the gap between the two of them and stood in front of her sitting figure on the bed, he held her chin up with his hand and made her look up at him.

“You should remember sweet pie, you are now a pregnant woman, and provoking other people to fight you might cost you harm and the life of our child…” Sebastian pointed out to her, and Raphaella's eyes widened in dismay, and shame immediately set in.

She had forgotten that she was pregnant and was prepared to fight Juliana and Carlotta, and if it wasn't for Sebastian coming to intervene, Raphaella would have engaged in a fight with and that would have endangered her life and the life of her child.

What kind of mother was she? Her child had not even been born, and she was already doing a horrible job.

“I. I'm so sorry, I forgot a.and-” Raphaella stuttered, her eyes getting watery as she felt like crying. Sebastian sighed and kissed down on her forehead.

“It's okay, sweet pie. I understand, just reminding you that you have to be careful from now on.”

Raphaella burst into crying and Sebastian resisted groaning, was this the thing about hormones messing up their emotions in pregnant women.

“Hey… Why are you crying now?” Sebastian asked, softly, while stroking Raphaella's hair.

“I'm such a bad mother, I nearly killed my child.” Raphaella sobbed, Sebastian looked at her in horror. How had she gotten that conclusion after he spoke?

“That's not true, you are not a bad mother. It's your first time at this, and you are not the only mother that forgot she was pregnant.” Sebastian said, trying to comfort her, but he groaned inwardly at how bad he was at comforting people.

“That's not true, I haven't heard of any mother forgetting that she was pregnant.”

Raphaella retorted, sobbing. Sebastian sighed and squatted down in front of her.

“Look Raphaella, no one is there as the perfect parent or stuff, they all had to learn from the grassroots, and mistakes were made a lot on their path to parenthood, but they eventually got the hang of it. Being a parent means that you become another person's everything and that is a hard sacrifice to make, and you are willing to do that.”

Raphaella sobs turned into sniffs, and she looked up at Sebastian.

“Making one mistake doesn't mean that you are a bad or horrible mother, it means you are human because humans make mistakes and guess, they pick up and become better versions of themselves.”

“How did you become so good at giving advice?” Raphaella asked, with a teasing smile. Sebastian chuckled.

“I'm a man of many talents.” He replied, playfully. Raphaella sniffed and rolled her eyes at him.

Raphaella smiled at him. “Thank you for the advice though, it made me feel much better.” Sebastian nodded, smiling, and Raphaella yawned.

“Now, I'm feeling so sleepy.” She announced, Sebastian stood up. Raphaella climbed into bed and assumed a sleeping position, Sebastian covered her up with a blanket.

“Well, I have to go meet your mom right now, and-” Sebastian started, but the glare Raphaella sent him was enough to make him quiet.

“Don't play with me Sebastian, never call her my mom,” Raphaella warned.

Sebastian shivered, she had gone from a crying panda in one minute to a fierce lion.

Sebastian chuckled and nodded. “Whatever you ask for, Miss Mendel.”

Raphaella smiled in return at him and Sebastian shook his head. She had gone through many emotions in a couple of minutes.

“Please, Can you get me a bucket of strawberry ice cream, watermelon, and mustard? I'm craving those…”

Sebastian looked at her weirdly. He held back his comments, because he didn't want her to start crying again or who knows, she might kill him for pointing out how weird her cravings are, instead, Sebastian opted for a dazzling smile.

“Of course, Sweet pea. I'll be on my way then.” Sebastian turned around and walked out of Raphaella's room, she held a hand to her chest. Her heart was nearly beating out of her chest, Raphaella blushed.

What the heck was he doing to her? She hung on to every f**king word like a kid. She needed to put some distance between her and Sebastian or else she would jump him, but would that be so bad… Raphaella thought.

*******

Isabella was in the study playing the piano when Sebastian walked into the room, she immediately stopped playing and gave all her attention to the younger man, pushing out her breast and giving him the sultry expression that made many directors and businessmen give her contracts.

“Ma’am, I'm here to know what my duties are,” Sebastian informed Isabella, smiling at her.

“Sebastian, do you know why I hired you here?” Isabella asked. Sebastian groaned in his mind. What were they playing, twenty questions?...

Sebastian gave her a professional look. “For my expertise and ability to always see-through with the protection of my clients.”

“That too, but you are a handsome man, not just handsome, but you seem to have been made to perfection.” Sebastian kept quiet and waited for her to finish speaking, he wondered what she was up to.

“Raphaella is a young twenty-two years old Virgin,” Isabella informed, little did she know that Raphaella was no longer just a virgin but also pregnant for him, Sebastian thought.

“What are you getting at, Mrs. Mendel?” Sebastian interrupted, he was in a hurry to get to the supermarket and get Raphaella the things she had asked for, and this woman was just beating around the bush.

Isabella smiled at him, she loved that he was a man that was in charge and spoke his mind, although he was in front of his employer.

“I want you to report everything about Isabella, all her movements, and who she meets throughout the day.”

“So, you want me to spy on miss Raphaella for you and inform you of everything she is up to?” Sebastian repeated, trying to clarify that he had heard everything.

“I won't call that spying per se, she is my daughter and I have the right to know what she is up to,” Isabella replied, defensively.

“Not really, she's your daughter. Not your property, do you do this to Juliana?” Sebastian asked, with a raised eyebrow. Isabella glared at him, she had found him speaking his mind to be hot, but not when he was speaking up against her.

“Mind you, Sebastian, I employed you and I can take back your letter of appointment. If you can't do as I say, find work elsewhere!.”

They looked at each other for a whole minute, before Sebastian smiled and nodded.

“Of course, ma'am. I'll spy on Miss Raphaella if that is what pleases you.” Isabella knew he was being partially sarcastic, but she didn't care because he had accepted to do her bidding.

Isabella smiled at him. “I'm sorry, Sebastian, for shouting and threatening to fire you.” She sighed dramatically.

“It's just that I'm feeling so stressed these few days with my daughter hating me and I just want to make our relationship work, so doing this for me might help me get close to her… you know, I'll get closer to her with the information you provide,” Isabella explained.

Sebastian was not falling for her sob story one bit, but he had to pretend for the sake of his job. He returned a charming smile at Isabella.

“You are so kind, ma’am, and I'm sorry for judging you.” Sebastian apologized, Isabella blushed at his words. How lovely it would be to own this bodyguard as her dirty little secret that will serve her whenever she needs it?

Mandela was fine, but when they had sex, it was as if he was thinking of someone else… presumably, his dead wife, and that put a whole dullness to it. She needed someone young and vibrant… Sebastian Damon.

Isabella would make sure that the young man only thought of her when he was done with his contract, and he would worship the ground she walked on. Isabella was an expert in seducing and breaking men, and Sebastian would be a challenge, but she would eventually break him and make him fall madly in love and lust for her.

*********

“Whoa!! Go Rex… Yes!”

Juliana chanted as the red motorbike made it to the finish line of the racetrack first, before the other motorbikes.

The crowd surrounded the winner, and they all cheered him on. He took off his signature red helmet and revealed a blonde-haired, good-looking man with blue eyes and a strong jawline. The crowd praised and complimented his skills and bike, meanwhile, his eyes went to meet Juliana's at the bench, and he waved to her.

***

Juliana moaned as Rex pounded into her, his thrust was fast and powerful like a beast.

“Rex! Please, please…” She didn't know what she was begging for, but the pleasure took over her head and she was rambling and begging.

Rex slammed into her. “Take it, bitch. Fuckk, Juliana. You're going to make me cum.”

Rex announced, and he began pounding into her faster. Juliana moaned like a hyena and Rex held her down on the bed and slammed into her fast and hard until they both came.

He groaned and pulled out of her, he removed the condom, tied it and threw it in the bin, and got back on the bed.

Juliana was trying to catch her breath, as she held the blanket to cover her body.

Rex grinned at her. “How was my performance, then?”

“That was mind-blowing, you never fail to d**k me good, Rex,” Juliana replied, smiling at him.

“Well, you're one hot and bad lady, Juls babe,” Rex said to her, checking her out with a lust-filled gaze. Juliana smirked at him.

“I have a job for you, Rex.”

“Whatever you want, princess. Just name it.” Rex replied, grinning.

“You remember I told you about my sister?”

Rex nodded. “Yeah, your elder sister who hates you and uses any chance to make you and your mother's life a living hell, what about her? Has she finally warmed up to you?”

Julianna shook her head and acted sadly.

“No, instead she made me lose my modeling gig at Sephora.” Juliana lied, Rex looked at her with pity and pulled her into his embrace.

“I'm so sorry, love. How could your sister do that when you and your mom are trying so much? What do you want me to do for you?”

Juliana grinned. Rex was a sucker for sob stories and seeing her look so pitiful and playing the pure at heart card, he was willing to do anything for her.

“I want you to make Raphaella warm up to you, let her fall for you, and trust you, then we'll hurt her the same way she hurt me.”

Raphaella didn't know what was coming for her and Juliana vowed to make her life a living nightmare going forward.

“Just wait and see Raphaella.”
