Rafaella was quiet while looking at her companions in that group. She wanted to laugh at what she was involved in. She did not think she would be among those kidnapped by groups selling young girls. They were assigned to search for the slave traders, but they had no such luck before she resigned from being an agent. And when she was reinstated, she was among those kidnapped.She quietly followed the kidnappers and was barely startled when the door was shut once they had been herded into the ship.Without a doubt, Alexus must have worried a lot about what happened to her. She remembered she dropped her phone when the slave trader grabbed her. He must have searched for her when she let go of her cell phone. He could have heard her screaming, which she did intentionally to alarm her husband that she was in danger.What did they do to Gwen? She thought because it suddenly disappeared next to the car.How will we sleep? Rafaella sounded frightened. She thought she shouldn't nap but knew th
"Geral-" The man said emphatically, "I said you don't know me." Without even glancing at her, "Shut up, please." He continued. "Your failure is my death…." Rafaella desired to express her regret. His earlier instructions had slipped her mind. She muttered an obscenity as she tried to feel less alone now that she had found someone she could trust, despite her best efforts to tell herself otherwise. From the corner of her eyes, Rafaella saw him standing, and he walked away to meet the newcomer with a hug. He chirped, "It's been a while, Adriano. "I had no idea you were based here." "Just for today since Matteo couldn't make it. Who's the beauty with you?" "Ah, Rina. She requests my assistance in locating her boyfriend. "Oh, have you got time to play that chasing game?" She heard him laugh. She still remembered how she laughed with her. "Come, follow us," said the newcomer riding the chopper earlier. When the phone he was holding rang. "Oh, I must answer this phone cal
"Get some rest, babe. This call might take a long while," Alexus said as he kissed her temple.“Who's that?”"Ruslan..." He replied with a casual tone."Ugh. Okay..." She spoke as she drew the blanket to her neck and buried her face in the plush pillow. As he opened a door, she turned to look at him.Even though the balcony was only big enough for three persons, Alexus welcomed the cool air."What's up? How is your wife, specifically?" that voice we recognize. Not even a greeting. Simply too keen to learn Rafaella's state."She's all right. As turmoil erupted within the yacht, I managed to save her. Thank you so much for your assistance."That voice interrupted him, saying, "There's no need for that, Latimer. I completed it for her. I want you to know that I will go above and above to help her.”"Alright. I concur with you, Gerald."He responded as if hearing Alexus' thoughts, "Don't ask me anything about why I am there. Look after her. Concerning the mafia that was pursuing her, don't
Rafaella feared he was going to assault her sexually. Her mind stubbornly refused to accept that he would eventually triumph and forcibly seize her."Alex…!" When she had the chance, she yelled and tried to give him a good kick. As a result of the man's shocking slap, she froze in place. The realization that he was particularly harsh on her triggered an adrenaline rush. She fought and tried to remove herself from his grasp. She bit his hand, so he slapped her again, this time harder. A pained cry escaped her lips.Suddenly, the door bursts open. Alexus' eyes widened at the scene. Her heart almost stopped beating the second their eyes connected. Without saying a word, Alexus's gaze fell upon the man kneeling over her with his pants open, and he let out a roar of unbridled wrath. And he leaped to assault the man attempting to rape his wife.When Rafaella saw that her husband's countenance was darker than she had ever seen, she drew the blankets up to her neck out of fear. His gaze-evoke
Alexus's eyes were wide open every time Rafaella tossed on his lap. Her face was pressed against his chest while her hands were clasped behind his back. He sat on the one-seater sofa that he moved to the small terrace from the bedroom three agents previously occupied.Alexus finally woke up to Rafaella's restless movement on his lap."Babe?" He whispered. He removed the strands of hair covering her face and stared at her face. He frowned as he could see pain dancing on her face. "Babe? What's wrong?"Rafaella slowly opened her eyes. "Hmm?""You kept tossing? Is something wrong?"Rafaella frowned.Alexus felt his arm tighten around his back. He felt alarmed."What's wrong? Are you in pain?"She gasped before nodding and moaning at the same time. "Alex, my stomach hurts like I'm having severe cramps... and my hips...""This is not good..." He commented when he noticed that Rafaella was drenched in sweat. "You need a medical checkup."Alexus quickly called Ruslan, then slowly moved uprig
Alexus and Rafaella have been extremely busy ever since they returned to their property after Rafaella's abduction a week ago. "What do you mean you don't know everything about her abduction? "That was Gwen's reaction when he asked her to come to his office. "No," Alexus said, leaning back in his swivel chair, "I was hoping Rafa would tell you everything." "I'm sorry, but she didn't," Gwen replied. "And when I started mentioning her loss, she cut me off instantly, saying she didn't want to hear anything about that incident." Alexus let out a sigh of frustration. He thought that they were okay after coming back home. She didn't do much besides swim and eat with the twins. She avoided being alone with him, and he didn't like it. Although Rafaella never told her, losing her unborn child profoundly affected her. Sometimes he'd wake up with her trembling from a bad dream and feel her sobbing in his chest, but she never said a word. Avoiding being alone with him taught him only one thi
After deciding to take a half-day off, Alexus and his wife left for home. On the patio outside their bedroom, they are facing one another. "I regret making the vow that I wouldn't inquire what transpired while you were taken on that yacht. A section of her hair was twisted around his finger by Alexus. "You hardly ever eat, you sleep even less, and if you do sleep, you have nightmares that you won't discuss or sleep like the dead. I'm telling you this out of concern for you, to let you know that I'm your husband and want to love you all, no matter how awful things become or how bad the hurt is. I want you to be content."The back of his hand touched her cheek" I can't discuss it, Alex." He questioned, "Can't or won't?" He scooped up their glasses as he leaned over, never taking his eyes off her. He briefly believed she might inform him before a cloak suddenly fell over her face. He raised his head.She responded, "Won't." Nodding, he said. "I predicted as much." She glanced at him b
The MockingUpon spotting the entire family enjoying the pool, Gwen's smile grew.When Mrs. Jones discovered what had occurred to what Rafaella was carrying, she suggested, "Next time, honey, when you sense something weird about yourself, you should seek a checkup straight away before taking any additional measures to prevent bad things from happening."Rafaella wrinkled her nose and stared intently at her husband.Alexus defended himself, "It wasn't me. I didn't recount what happened.""Do you two intend to continue keeping it a secret? Mrs. Jones spoke up. "How did you get there to consider getting a checkup? The most important time of a woman's pregnancy is the early weeks. Miscarriages were frequent during the time.""Mom, I appreciate your helpful counsel," Rafaella muttered."Yeah. Anyway, you two still have a lot of opportunities. You'll have a lot more babies.""Babies?" After hearing what her grandmother had stated, Lucy questioned. "A new child, Mommy?"Alexus promptly respo
