The shock in Alexus' eyes was also reflected in the contact of their lips. But when he heard the approaching footsteps of the familiar sound of shoes, he ultimately kissed Rafaella's lips. He felt the shock of the girl's reaction to his audacity. Alexus slowly lifted his face, and Rafaella's eyes widened as he could see the fear in her gaze. "Just nod whatever I have to say to her," he whispered as their lips parted. He didn't wait for Rafaella to answer. "Oh, Sandy! What are you doing here?" Alexus answered casually. His hand slipped on Rafaella's waist. He almost burst out laughing because he could feel the stiffening of Rafaella's body from what he had done. "H-how could you do this to me, kissing her!" "Why not, Sandy? What is it with you if I kiss her? She's my girlfriend already. Haven't you broken up with me so you can flirt with whoever you want? And Rafaella is my new girlfriend..." "You can't do this to me, Alex! I said we need breathing space." "Not for me, Sandy. I'm
When Alexus personally took Rafaella to their front door that evening, she could not sleep the entire time. And she remembered too well as she was about to get in last night, he clutched her hand, seemingly scared to let her go. He moistened her lips as he pressed them together, then walked away. Her eyes were following him as he left her stunned. He then waved at her while turning around. She entered after receiving his indication to do so. Since he had gotten to know him, that was the first time he had brought her to their door. She thought it was cute! A message from Alexus chimed as she got to her bed. Think of me before you go to sleep, it commanded. Rafaella had a restless night thinking about the whole thing in her head. It made her brain float until the breaking of dawn. It was the reason that she was still in bed at that moment. She stared blankly at the ceiling until a splitting headache hit her. When she heard someone knocking, she just ignored it. She felt weak to get
Rafaella was speechless, in a trance, when their lips parted, and their eyes spoke.She swallowed silently. Their eyes still connected in silence, yearning.Alexus' hand moved his index finger, underlying the movement of her throat, which she gasped with that tingling sensation.She held his hand to stop that caress that brought her indescribable reaction, an awareness of wanting something beyond words."What are you doing here?" She said in a low voice. Her chest was heaving badly. And her gaze widened when he put his palm right in the middle of her chest."Please, calm…" he said quietly. He was watching her flushing face.She gulped and nodded."I want to know you're doing fine. And, of course, I wanted to see you after last night," he whispered."Yeah, me too…" she smiled shyly."Why are we whispering?""Well…they might hear us. They don't know yet..." She continued to say in a low voice."Your mom told me to check on you, so she knows I'm in your room right now.""What?" Her voice
Rafaella could see every movement of the two men as they entered their yard, thanks to the starry sky. When Sophia noticed them bouncing in their yard, her rage increased even more. Rafaella watched a man hit a dog in the head with a stick he was wielding and covered her mouth to hold back her tears. The dog then collapsed upon the grass. There didn't seem to be any more life. And then she turned to face her bedroom door once more. It was fortunate that the light in her bedroom was off. She was ready to shut her door with her heart racing when she thought about her mother and decided to leave the hallway to find her. She also heard the yelling from downstairs. Mrs. Wood's screaming voice was heard, and then there was silence. She forced a hard swallow as she struggled to see in the pitch-black. She hoped their governess was doing fine. Do I do something? Her thoughts were racing as she strolled. Before she could make it to her mother's room, two hands seized her. And put her mout
"Can you leave us alone, Marla?" Alexus pleaded after pocketing his mobile phone again. "I want to talk to Rafa privately first?" "But is it true? Are you two married?" Marla asked in disbelief, seemingly confused by the turn of events. Alexus gently nodded at his younger sister. "How come you married her when Sandy is your girlfriend?" "Not anymore," Alexus confessed. "When she broke up with me, I married Rafa with her father's consent before he passed away..." "Then why is it hot news about you and Sandy?" "Sandy manipulated what happened last night, and what she says is baseless that we are going to get married because she is not convinced that I married Rafaella." Marla nodded as she gradually understood what had happened. She looked at Rafaella, who at that moment was confused. "Why don't you seem to know what happened, Rafa?" Rafaella glanced at her boyfriend. She didn't know what was going on. Alexus extended his hand without hesitation and held hers. "I'm sorry, the si
"What? I'm going to live here with you guys?"Alexus shook his head, "Ours, babe. You're my wife, remember?'" Alexus reminded her as he got out of the car he was driving. "Yes, I want you to live with me from now on. Especially since your mother is in the hospital. I don't want you alone in your house since what happened last night. Rafaella also got out of the car when she saw Alexus step closer to her. He wanted to clear one thing at this minute. He had a gut feeling that he would lose her before she was secure in his house. And he had to stop that from happening."B-but you said...""Hmm. I know what you're trying to say. We'll take it slow, okay? And as I promised your dad, schooling first..."She nodded with a smile. "That means I won't stay in your room, right?""Aw, come on. You used to sleep in my room...""That was before you discovered I'm old enough to be your bedmate..."He pulled her to his body and pinched her nose's bridge while his arm was on her shoulder."Bedmate, hu
Alexus gently turned the door to his room. And he saw Rafaella sitting at the foot of the bed and leaning her back while facing the large window. "Hey..." She immediately raised her head to look at the door where Alexus was leaning on the doorknob and watching her intently. "Are we okay?" He asked while watching her movements. "Yeah, I'm fine. How's it going down there?" "We talked about something at the office..." "Like what?" "She still insists on working with me. What do you think?" "Well..." she started to stand up and sit on the edge of the bed. "I don't think she's stupid enough to keep harassing you as she did in the video you showed me. So let her stay until she gives up on her own accord. Let her adjust that you are no longer together as a couple .. ." "What about the personal issue?" Their eyes met again when he smiled at her. "I don't know," she said as she rolled her eyes. Alexus grabbed her, and she barely screamed when the man put her under him. He carefully c
They couldn't tell who was more astonished when the bedroom unexpectedly opened. Alex, I'm sorry," Marla said from behind Sandy. "She came up here despite my efforts to stop her." Marla answered, "It's okay," Alexus quickly recovered from his shock. You may go, so the three of us can discuss this matter here, once and for all." In silence, Sandy observed the two people lying on the bed, startled by the events she had just witnessed. When Sandy was able to utter anything, she said, "You... You were flirting with my boyfriend, you bitch. I was correct all along." She advanced and prepared to strike Rafaella, but Marla stopped her. Marla stood in the center and told their guest, "Sandy, chill." Rafaella needed assistance standing up, so Alexus helped her and dragged her behind him. He was protecting her. Sandy yelled fiercely, "You're too young to tangle with someone like Alexus." Sandy, please leave immediately before I lose your patience for invading our privacy. Sandy growled
