His Contracted Bedspacer (The Heir 1) Retaliation
"Hold on," Rafaella said as her eyes narrowed at her husband. "What are you thinking?" "There was no evidence, but it's how my father died," Alexus stated. "I didn't tell the investigator but saw everything that happened that night. I hid like a coward when I saw his gun as panic surged in my chest. I hid in the corner of the living room. The assassin bore enough battle as he launched himself at the guards. He struck precise and devastating. Despite their best efforts, the hall was too small for more than a handful to surround him at once. I heard the gunshot when my father managed to flee to the balcony and was followed by the assassin. "Oh, Alex...." Rafaella mumbled as her hand rested across his belly. "That must be hard for you at that moment..." "Yes..." "But why didn't you tell the police what you saw?" "Because I realized that the assassin may pursue my life. I was a weakling then, as I said. Just like what happened to the guard crashing to the floor, all three died fro

"Are you going crazy? What do you think of my husband, a meal that is handed out so easily?" Rafaella couldn't stop her tirade at the woman she was talking to on the other line. Then she felt Alexus squeeze her shoulder sweetly. He was reminding her to focus. Alexus heard what his ex-girlfriend was saying, so he couldn't blame Rafaella, who raised her voice in annoyance. Gwen showed her what she wrote on the laptop in bold letters. RELAX, RAFA... THINK OF JOSH. "Which of the two of us do you think is going crazy at this point, Rafaella?" Colleen's annoyed voice was harsh. "I'll give you ample time, only three days, to decide. I'll be waiting for your call. Bye!" "No--" Rafaella took a deep breath and looked at her husband before her. She leaned against Alexus' chest as Giovanni quietly pulled Gwen out of the room. "I'm sorry, I blew it..." She said in a whisper. "No. I'm not blaming you. If I'm selfish enough, I'd like to think I agree with your irrational rebuttal. A sad
His Contracted Bedspacer (The Heir 1) In the Line of Duty
At the request of Alexus' mother, they all stayed at the hotel still owned by the Rossi couple, Alexus' biological parents. And he found out from them during the conversation that his parents broke up because Mateo got one of his flings pregnant, so they lived together, but it was an unborn baby because of a complication. By that time, Alexus' mother had already filed for divorce. And due to the failure of the birthing, Mateo also broke up with his affair to regain his ex-wife's trust. Still, to no avail, he was not taken back. However, he stopped traveling around the country and voluntarily managed the hotel's operation. Although the idea suggested would ensure Joshua's safety, Rafaella couldn't help but worry. She was not convinced it would work though partly jealousy roiling around in her gut, so she thought of a better way to speed up the capture of Alexus' destructive ex-girlfriend. She was purring in satisfaction to see Colleen Grant was about to go down in flames. "I
His Contracted Bedspacer (The Heir 1) Scheming Ways
Alexus cut his connection to Gwen's phone. Then he browsed online to see the possible effects of the foods his wife had fed him earlier. Only then did he realize why Rafaella had been extra sweet and attentive earlier while providing him primarily green leafy vegetables. Alexus frowned when he realized Rafaella's plan. "What are you frowning about?" He shook his head and grinned reluctantly as he said, "Oh, dear lord. She was aiming for me to have an upset stomach...." "Like diarrhea?" He reckoned. "Yeah. Something like that..." "Well, you've better heed then. She is plotting for you to be sick so your ex won't seduce you. Is your wife that jealous?" "No. Well, I've no idea, and I better not test that part of her." "Oh, man. That's tough, but that will stop you from being pawed by Colleen," Giovanni slowly cracked a peal of laughter. And he was stopped. "Ah. I should have known that she was aiming for something when she was attentive to me. I thought I knew the woman I married
His Contracted Bedspacer (The Heir 1) The Ransom
Rafaella had fallen asleep in his arms long ago, but Alexus could not bring himself to nap even though it was past midnight. During his conversation with Rafaella, she confided about the "diarrhea plot." She planned to take him to the hospital and let Colleen visit there as long as their son Joshua was with her. So he agreed to take the diet pill that his wife mentioned. He understood his wife's mind was not thinking straight, so he couldn't get angry with her plan to save their son. And he felt that the two tablets he was given to drink had worked, as he was constantly making small farting and causing pain in his tummy. Unable to resist, Alexus carefully removed Rafaella's head from his shoulder and got off the bed. He grabbed the bath towel from the floor, draped his naked body, and went to the veranda to calm himself from the pain that somersaulted in his tummy. He shook his head impatiently and headed to the shower. He lingered in the shower room momentarily while his mind was
His Contracted Bedspacer (The Heir 1) Smashed
"OMG! You mean that Alexus was upset that you made him take diet pills so that he would get sick and be hospitalized?" Gwen's incredulous reaction. Rafaella's head barely moved in the nod. Between her cries, she told the whole story to Gwen. "Give him a breathing space, and he will realize that what you did was for your family," Giovanni advised as Gwen quietly nudged him to say something. "Of course, he could be shocked by what you were plotting, and he could not believe that you wished him to be sick...in other words, you sacrificed him to save your son. Well, I would feel the same way. I would be upset for a while, but if there is love, that is just a temporary setback. Just let him be away for a while..." Rafaella was quiet, but what Alexus did hurt her heart deeply, and she didn't know if she could forgive him when he willingly delivered himself to their son's kidnapper as a ransom demand in exchange for Joshua's release. "Hey, I thought today was fun, and he was with us her
His Contracted Bedspacer (The Heir 1) Shadow of Her Nemesis
Rafaella stared at the laptop on her desk for the hundredth time facing the window. She had been checking Colleen's latest media update but found nothing, and she considered the fugitive woman not using her real identity. But she found out that someone was also digging into her records since many articles popped up that were not there two months ago. The publications claimed that Colleen had been institutionalized at a for-profit facility. Later reports mentioned her disappearance from the public eye. She wanted a calm life without being involved in the commercial matters of her family. What the hell kind of person lives like that? Rafaella asked. She looked at the Grant Pharmaceutical company's finances while still in shock. It combined with another profitable medical business while experiencing a decline in profits. Rafaella shook her head as she processed the new information. Given the business's financial stability, making money would have been tough when she last remembered
His Contracted Bedspacer (The Heir 1) Cornered
Oh, I can't breathe. That thought quickly crossed her mind when Rafaella woke up. Her eyes widened as she struggled to get enough air into her lungs. Something covered her mouth and nose. And her heart beat faster as she glanced around the unfamiliar small room with a foul smell. She could hardly move as her hands were tied up behind her. She closed her eyes again and thought about what had happened last and how she ended up in a dark, unfamiliar place. The last thing she remembers was someone hitting her on the head when she came out of the comfort room of the cottage that belonged to Gwen. She rested her head against the bed's headboard and closed her eyes again as many images played through her mind. She remembered Alexus and their children. Oh, what's going on? Her thoughts were jumbled. I shouldn't freak out. She told herself that she needed to think clearly. as she leaned back, starting to remember what had happened. She remembered having amnesia, but now she could re
