His Contracted Bedspacer (The Heir 1) The Viper Came
The picture frame slid to the ground, and Alexus grabbed it up. It was broken. He fixed his gaze on the people he was within the group photos, which also included Rafaella's father and other friends. The picture was taken at an inauguration they both attended, where he had the opportunity to meet Sandy, one of the speakers since she was a shareholder in the newly established business. Now that he was secretly married, Alexus questioned what might have happened. When a peculiar cold sensation overcame him, he gazed around carelessly. Why am I experiencing this? Why am I the only one feeling this way? Which does this imply? He chose to leave his study space. When he saw his sister rushing toward him, he was still perplexed about what was happening to him. "What's up, Marla?" Oh, brother," she murmured with a hint of worry. "What I'm about to tell you is something you won't believe." He was impatient and said, "Tell me straight, Marla." "Something happened... Mr. Jones died. Mrs. W

A succession of taps on the door of their chamber cut short Alexus' explanation to his wife of what had happened to her father and why he had married her by proxy.Mommy? Daddy?The twins' cheerful voices could be heard as they entered their room."Oh, where have they gone?""On the balcony," Alexus yelled, "In here, Josh," before glancing briefly at his wife and vanishing, leaving Rafaella to wipe away her tears swiftly.The twins gave him a bear embrace as soon as they saw him."Daddy, we have a question for you."He observed their glances at each other and inquired, gazing back from Joshua to Lucy.Joshua was ready to get started. "May we go swimming, Dad?""Okay, but just a little swim."The twins became animated.Joshua asked as he took a glance around. "Where is Mommy?"He turned to the twins and stated, "Mom and I were just conversing," before looking up at Libby. "They've eaten, right?"Sure, Daddy," Lucy promptly replied. "Let's go to the pool!""Well, go ahead. Mom and I wil

Rafaella was unaware of the three undercover spies, including Timothy and Libby, who saw her holding hands with her spouse. And Alexus would focus on her every time they watched the twins playfully paddle in the pool. Also, her husband frequently caught her looking at him when speaking to Timothy. He once offered her a sweet wink when she turned to look at him. So, that day was a significant occasion for them all. At the pool, Mrs. Jones was present as well. Rafaella fed her mother and expressed gratitude for her presence. Her mother grinned quietly whenever Alexus came to her side and put his hand on her shoulder or, sporadically, her waist. Mrs. Jones told her daughter, "You looked good together. It's a shame Teresa isn't present because she will undoubtedly shed happy tears when she learns that you and your husband have reconciled." Rafaella grinned. "Mom, when will Mrs. Wood be back?" "Let her leave, and she hasn't been home to them for three years because of dedicated her work

Rafaella asked him in confusion, "What do you mean by contracted bed spacer?"As his eyes fixed on her, Alexus grinned, clearly amused, but it quickly disappeared. “Oh..." Sadness lingered in the corner of his eyes as he murmured, "I wish you could completely regain your memory.""Yeah. Me, too. I'm interested in past events. Did you say that I seduced you?”Alexus feigned sneezing. "Well... not entirely, but with those moments, we might have another child."“Moments…”As Alexus struggled to contain his laughter, his eyes rolled. "Well, we did it more than once."“Hmm. You're fortunate, huh?" She made fun of me."More than fortunate, he said, "that intermission happened just when I promised to leave you breathing space. I over boarded it, giving the appearance that we were in a relationship before the disaster because I was so afraid you would want to be alone while attempting to feel at ease. Initially, you were so edgy with me, and I invented those lies to bond with you."Since Alex

Alexus was shocked that Rafaella had planned a private celebration for the family and no outsiders. Her eyes sparkled with anticipation as she pointed to the large rectangular chocolate cake, boxes of his favorite pizza, two of his favorite entrées, and a bottle of champagne. With tears in his eyes, Alexus laughed. "They're meant to report everything to me, he teased, "I still don't know how you convince everyone to have it quietly prepared." His hands lingered lustfully on her waist. Her three agents were exchanging glances with one another. When Gwen had a chance to catch Rafaella's gaze on her, she winked at her. "Well, it's your birthday, and technically I live here now too... so I'm not sure I need your permission to throw a party for my ridiculously hot husband's 35th birthday." Simply put, Alexus was too delighted to say anything but to give her a bear embrace. Having his wife finally by his side, together with their twins, must be the happiest day of his life. At that poin

After taking a few deep breaths, Rafaella turned to look at Alexus' ex-girlfriend, who kept a sharp gaze on him. She felt terrible for the woman.She was aware that Colleen shouldn't have any expectations for Alexus' feelings, given that she had been the focus of her husband's attention ever since she returned as his wife and the mother of his children.Rafaella overheard Gwen say, "It's obvious from her profile." Despite appearing a little older, she is still stunning and seductive."Rafaella was forced to admit that she was. "She was pretty gorgeous at an early age and is about the same age as Alexus.""I wonder if Alexus noticed and if he's paying attention," Gwen stated. "How come they didn't stay together?""Colleen's family is rich, and she is the sole heiress of the Grant Pharmaceutical Company, just like the Latimer family. Our parents are friends. Alex and I became close when I was eight because of our pets. He had a male Leon Berger as a pet, which made my St Bernard dog pre

She immediately turned to check behind her when she heard that familiar voice.Oh, Alexus, nothing's wrong. He merely assisted me when I felt a mighty wind and sand blow into my eyes.""Oh, it must hurt," he remarked. His hand moved to her chin as he looked at her face. "It seems to be fine."She turned to face the newcomer and responded, "I guess so," as her eyes followed the man's gaze to the newcomer's hand around her waist. "Anyway, thanks for the help," she said with a little smile.Alexus gave the man a subdued nod, and then he let Rafaella take them back to the gathering."Wait, you purposely struck his head with your knee, right?"She replied, laughing, to which Marla chimed in. "It's not that strong," she said. However, I could have fallen for what I did if he hadn't grabbed me at once."However, have you seen how attractive he is?""Absolutely. Of course." Rafaella agreed.Alexus butted in, "Is that true? Does he look better than I do?"Marla smiled sarcastically and said, "

"We're all going to die, Rafael, so it's not the end of the world. The only thing that hurts is that someone needs to be left behind to grieve." "Alexus, this is the hardest one. I-I can't handle what happened," Rafaella mumbled as she tried to stop the tears from running down her cheeks…." "I have faith in your abilities, Rafa. Don't let hardships like these overtake you. Consider what would happen to your mom and Cindy if you willfully gave up on these trials." She ceased talking. Fresh tears welled in her eyes as she said, "I hope I'm as strong as you believe, Alexus, because if I'm not, I might lose my mind." Instead, she was confined in his arms, staring at the face of his dead buddy. Oh my God, I had no idea Mr. Jones would behave in such a way. That he brought it up when saying goodbye surprised me because I was unaware of it when he approached me. And what transpired in my room—I'm sure that was a hint—shows that God, wherever he is, you will make up for his absence. Plea

His Contracted Bedspacer (The Heir 1) Fixing Their Forever
When they reached their bedroom, he grabbed her arm roughly, yanking her out behind him. And the moment the bedroom door shut behind them, he pushed her back against it. Her clutch bag hit the floor. His mouth covered hers, missing her taste. They were gentle at first, slowly stripping each other out of their clothes as they got to know each other's bodies again. It wasn't as if it had been ages since they had one another, but it had been long enough. Two weeks were long enough for him. Damn, he'd missed his sunshine. "God, it's been a long time..." he rasped. " As she pressed her body into his. He deepened the kiss, tasting her lips, then parting them with his own. His tongue drove between her lips. She moaned as their tongues mingled, then lifted her hand and ran her fingers through his hair. He moved one hand between her legs, and his touch immobilized her as he slid his fingers back and forth along the smooth seam of her center and circled them gently over her clit. S

Alexus couldn't sleep that night when Rafaella confessed her intention to join the syndicate as a victim. And he worked with Gerald to ensure his wife's safety. Gerald agreed since his team would also be there to get the syndicate's mastermind. While contemplating the critical mission Rafaella wished to do as an auction bride victim. Alexus could not help but sigh frequently. He found it hard to imagine his wife performing such an undercover role. It worsens the pain in his stomach more than the medication she gave him. But there he was, in front of her, smelling of flowers and wanting to reach out and touch her tender flesh. With their twins playing in the kitchen and the three agents keeping an eye on them, he was close enough to kiss her but didn't dare. Not until they had a chance to converse. She pulled a few soft drinks out of the fridge and handed one to him before following him into the living room she'd decorated with a few colorful accents from Milan before she had a
His Contracted Bedspacer (The Heir 1) A Treasured Moment
Rafaella was ecstatic as she watched her mother with tears in her eyes and a smile on her face as she hugged her only sibling, Cindy. Despite having concerns about what would come next in their lives now that the authorities had apprehended Colleen, Jasper, and their gang, she felt blessed despite these misgivings. It was a joyful moment since Rafaella's only sister had returned. She felt so much happiness in those moments. And even her mother could not hide the happiness and security of her will to see her two daughters together again. She quietly studied the profile of Cindy sharing her mother's happiness and tears while Gerald extended his hand to hold her mother's hand and kissed it. What a sweet man, she thought with a smile, but it vanished from her lips as she met her husband's facade, somewhat scowling. She strolled to join him, seated in one of the chairs with Ruslan and Leo nearby. "What is ailing you?" She asked in a whisper. "Nothing," his evasive reply and avoidi
His Contracted Bedspacer (The Heir 1) Get-Together
Three days have passed since Rafaella was saved from the hands of Colleen, who kidnapped her as a ransom for Alexus to sign their divorce papers, but Alexus disagreed. Instead, he saved Rafaella from the hands of Jasper, who wanted to take advantage of her physically. They found out that Colleen was still in the clinic because she was high on substances when she was arrested, along with Jasper and some staff who hid in an abandoned farm that used to belong to one of her friends. And according to the investigation at the said location, the FBI group led by Gerald obtained two boxes of substance and some informative documents they did not divulge publicly. Alexus's stomach ache had also healed due to taking diet pills which Rafaella used as an accessory not to have intimacy with his ex-girlfriend, which he claimed was adequate but not good for his health as he felt deteriorating and weakling. So, the incident became a joke among the group. Rafaella felt even happier because t
His Contracted Bedspacer (The Heir 1) The Rescue
Rafaella leaned her head against his shoulder and asked, "Can we just go to the woods?" He echoed in her ear, "I told you we couldn't. The woods are the worst area to flee to because doing so would be a suicide mission, and I also want her off my back. And that is to see her off to prison." Rafaella frowned at his remark, but she didn't need convincing—literally or figuratively—because she sensed she was about to enter a minefield. The area was eerie. She wanted to get back to her children to ensure no one was there to snap them away. That's why she was impatient in being in this place when she wanted to be home. She was never like this with her covert mission, but she had no idea this was how people with kidnapped family members felt in restless turmoil. Suppose there was compensation for being in this abandoned area, that was to be with Alexus. Having him beside her could make her forget her restlessness for at least a while. "Do you have a plan while we're hiding here?"
His Contracted Bedspacer (The Heir 1) The Shield
With a look of fear and determination, Rafaella struggled to untie her hands. Despite her fear, she hurriedly untied the duct tape holding both hands together when Colleen screamed and threatened her husband. She's just an unbelievable freak," she shook her head and thought. How could she get Alexus's feelings if she kept threatening him? She knew it would not work with Alexus. Was she that desperate to get his attention or something else? She figured out before that she might be desperate for lack of cash. And he thought Alexus was his only hope to help him. Rafaella got off the bed and sat on the floor. She looked around the room, wondering how she could get out of the room she was in. As fear registered in her brain, she tried to figure out how many of Colleen's men were so that she could estimate and know where they were located in that farmhouse. She remembered earlier that he didn't see anyone standing outside the house when they arrived, so she guessed that Colleen's men w

Rafaella awoke to heart-pounding panic. She finally managed to blink her eyes open as her senses slowly woke up. She realized she was in the back seat of the SUV. Suddenly, her forehead collided with the back of the driver's seat."Damn, that was close. Stupid animal crossing the road" said the man's stern voice in front of the steering wheel.She twisted wildly on her right side when she became aware of heavy breathing and found herself beside a man bent over as if he was sleeping inside the SUV.Instinctively, she grabbed for the door handle."Nice, try, but you shouldn't," snarled the voice beside her and grabbed her hair.She swallowed hard as she looked at him. Even in the dark of the backseat, she couldn't even see his eyes ultimately, but she knew. She'd seen the murder in his eyes earlier. When the time came for her to die, she knew he would kill her himself and relish the process. He would have killed her by now if it had been up to him. It wasn't up to him, though.Rafaella
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
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
