Hopelessly Devoted LXIX. THANKYOU, GOODBYE
Riezel's voice was tearful as she asked Raphael, "Do you still love Delilah? Even though she's changed her name, even though her face is not the same? Does your heart still beat for her?" Raphael's eyes never left mine as he looked down and nodded without hesitation. It was as if he was confirming his love for me, no matter what name I went by or what I looked like. Riezel's face contorted in agony as she broke down into tears. Her body shook with sobs, and her voice was barely audible as she asked Raphael again, "Did you ever love me? Did you ever care for me? Did your heart ever beat for me?" Raphael remained silent, his eyes still fixed on me. He didn't even glance at Riezel, and his silence was deafening. Riezel's tears continued to flow as she begged Raphael to answer her. But he just shook his head and said, "It's all my fault, Riezel. If there's anyone you need to punish, it's me, not Ava." Raphael took a step forward, his eyes locked on Riezel's. "I'll take the blame for

As we stepped off the plane in New Zealand, I could feel the weight of our past tragedies slowly lifting off our shoulders. The crisp, clean air and the stunning natural beauty of the country seemed to envelop us in a sense of peace and tranquility.Raphael and I had decided to take a vacation to New Zealand to refresh our minds and hearts. We wanted to leave behind the memories of the past and start anew, and what better way to do that than in one of the most beautiful countries in the world?We spent our first few days in Auckland, exploring the city and its surroundings. We visited the iconic Sky Tower, where we took in breathtaking views of the city and harbor. We also walked along the waterfront, enjoying the street performers and food vendors.But it was when we left Auckland and started exploring the rest of the country that our vacation really began to take off. We rented a car and drove to Rotorua, where we spent a day exploring the geothermal wonders of Wai-O-Tapu. We marvel

Raphael and I met at the unexpected event, it was our village's festival and many were preparing to celebrate one of the most special occasions. I am currently serving as a maid in the Montenegro's family. But often that rich family doesn't stay here because they are too busy running their businesses in different places. The Montenegro's couple rarely comes here, sometimes only Don Markus visits the mansion and sometimes his wife, Madam Gloria. That couple is kind and generous, that's why no wonder why they were blessed with many beautiful things in life. But in my more than ten years of serving them as a maid, I have never seen and met the two male heirs of their properties. I hear a lot that they are currently living in another country and that they have completed their studies there as well. As far as I know from the old servants who are with me here at the hacienda, the eldest son of Don Markus and Madam Gloria, Sir Raphael, is the same age as me. But none of them have seen the ap

“Delilah, who are you waiting for there? And why do you seem to be looking for someone?” the one who spoke was Betty, my best friend and co-worker as a maid here at the mansion. I didn't respond immediately to what she asked, so I couldn't tell her the truth either. It's been almost three days since I saw that aggressive man, and after that day I didn't see him again. I must admit that I was a little worried about him because he still looks like a stranger in this place.“Did he get back to their house safely?” I said softly as Betty turned to me with one eyebrow raised and a look of curiosity on her face.“Who are you talking about? And why do you seem concerned about someone? Is there something you're not telling me?” She was curious, but I didn't answer her because I would rather not let her know about the pretty man I met the other day, besides that, I didn't want her to know that there was another time when someone trespassed in this mansion. I know that Betty can be trusted, and

Since then, Raphael and I have become close friends and I have also introduced him to Betty. But I didn't expect our friendship to go deeper to more than just friends.“I want you, Delilah. I know you want me too, don't you?” that was the first time he confessed to me and because that was also my first love, I was unable to refuse him, or I was unable to hide from him my true feelings for him. It feels good to be in love, especially when you probably also want to be with the person you've only been dreaming about. It's as if my life has suddenly become colorful, there's always a smile on my face, it's like I'm stepping on clouds and a romantic song is whispering in my ears. However, I kept our relationship a secret from Betty. Even we don't know each other very well, or whatever his true personality is, I will accept him because I love him that much. I have no idea about his background, as well as about his past and even his family, I just know that he is the man I want to be with unt

That night I could hardly focus on my work as I look down while we waited for their family to finish eating at the dining room table.“Raphael, when do you plan to return to the states again? Didn't you say that you will live there for good and until you get married?” I heard his father say. I clenched my fists tightly as I held back my anger because of what I heard about him.(So, he really has plans to leave me and to just stay in another country while I'm alone here. Then I was right, that he just played with my feelings.)“I'm not sure yet, but I'll let you know when I get back there.” He replied, then he stood up.“Where are you going? You haven't finished your food yet. Didn't you like the pottage? Or maybe you have something else you want to eat, just tell.me.” His mother was worried.“There's no need. I'm full. I wish to rest for a while in the room.” He responded, then the head maid brought me closer to him. I was surprised to slowly approach him, and then she said, “Please s

The Montenegro's family stayed only two days in that hacienda. I was just standing outside the mansion as I watched Raphael's back leaving there. I felt a pinch in my heart as I stared at him. Furthermore, I was swallowed deeply because I could feel my tears flowing at any time. I clenched my two fists and could still feel the anger from it in my heart. Likewise, I would rather not talk to him and I would rather not see his presence again. But I want to ask him why he did that to me? Why did he cheat on me, and why did he hide from me his true personality that he was an heir of Montenegro? And most of all, I would like to know from him if he really loved me or does he just feel bored that time?Because of what happened and what I discovered, I hid my pregnancy. I had no intention of telling him about it. I also have no plans to introduce him to my child as his father. Furthermore, I will insist that he will not recognize and get the Montenegro. After that day, I never saw Raphael aga

“No? What do you mean?” She asked. “He didn't know, and I didn't intend to tell him about it.” I replied. “But why don't you want to let him know about your baby, isn't he has a right to it? Don't you want to get out of poverty and experience your child's luxurious life?” As she said that I suddenly looked at her as if I didn't like what she meant to me. “I never wished the wealth he had. I don't need Montenegro's money and not at all, I can raise my baby alone.” After I told her that I left her and I hurried my way. If all of them think of me like I was just using my child to get all what I want, I would rather just leave this city and go away so they will not know about the true identity of the child in my womb. Yes, I love him, but I can't allow them to get near to my baby nor give him a miserable life like their family. I will make sure that he will not be hurt by anyone and hand him to any clan members of Montenegro. My baby is mine, my life and my world. No one can separate

Hopelessly Devoted LXVIII. CONFESSION
As I slowly opened my eyes, I was met with the familiar sight of the Montenegro hacienda's bedroom. I was lying on the bed, my head pounding with a dull ache. I tried to sit up, but a wave of dizziness washed over me, forcing me to lie back down.As I looked around the room, I realized that I was alone. There was no sign of Claus, no sign of anyone. I tried to call out for help, but my voice was hoarse and barely audible.I struggled to get out of bed, my legs shaking beneath me. I stumbled to the door and began to pound on it, calling out for someone to help me. But there was no response.I pounded on the door for what felt like hours, but no one came. I was starting to get desperate, starting to feel like I was trapped.And then I remembered the staff. They must have been instructed not to help me. Claus must have told them to leave me alone.I felt a wave of despair wash over me. I was trapped, alone and helpless. I slid to the floor, tears streaming down my face.Raphael. Oh, Raph
Hopelessly Devoted LXVII. TELL ME IT'S NOT A DREAM
As Raphael drove the car, I sat beside him, feeling worried and scared. The events of the party were still fresh in my mind, and I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease.Raphael glanced at me, concern etched on his face. He saw the paleness of my skin, the shock still evident in my eyes. He reached out and held my hands tightly, trying to reassure me that he was there for me, that I wasn't alone."Where are we going?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Raphael smiled softly. "Somewhere no one will find us," he said. "Just rest, Ava. You need it right now."I tried to lean back and rest my eyes, but my mind was racing. I couldn't forget what I had witnessed at the party. The image of Markus's lifeless body, the sound of Riezel's screams, it all kept replaying in my mind.As I drifted off to sleep, I had a nightmare. The party was repeating itself in my mind, and I was reliving the horror all over again.When I woke up, gasping for breath, I found myself in an unfamiliar room.
Hopelessly Devoted LXVI. THE PERFECT GIFT
I sat in the dimly lit room, my heart racing as I recounted every detail of my conversation with Markus to Claus. He listened intently, his eyes narrowing as he processed the information.When I finished, Claus leaned back in his chair, a calculating look on his face. "We need to make Markus silence," he said, his voice low and menacing.I felt a shiver run down my spine as I heard his words. "What do you mean?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.Claus didn't answer me directly. Instead, he leaned forward, his eyes glinting in the dim light. "Let's just say that I have ways of dealing with people who become a problem," he said, his voice dripping with malice.I felt a wave of fear wash over me as I realized what Claus was suggesting. "You're not going to try to kill him, are you?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Claus didn't answer me. Instead, he leaned back in his chair, a cold smile spreading across his face. "Let's just focus on our goal, Ava," he said. "If I find

As I walked into the bathroom, I didn't expect to see Riezel waiting for me. But there she was, her eyes blazing with anger and hatred. She pushed me against the wall, her hands closing around my neck like a vice.I struggled to breathe, but Riezel just leaned in closer, her face twisted in a snarl. She was enjoying this, enjoying the power she had over me. She was going to kill me, and she was going to enjoy every moment of it.But then, something inside me snapped. I started to giggle, and then I laughed, a cold, mirthless sound. Riezel's eyes widened in surprise, and she backed away from me, looking at me like I was crazy.And maybe I was. Maybe I had finally lost my mind after everything I had been through. But I didn't care. I was beyond caring.Riezel's voice was shaking as she asked me, "What's your relationship with my husband?"But I just smiled, a cold, calculating smile. I tied my long hair back, and then I started to walk towards Riezel, step by step.I didn't answer her q

As I walked into my condominium, I couldn't shake off the feeling of anger and resentment that had been building up inside me. I hurriedly made my way to my secret room, my heart racing with anticipation. And as I opened the door, I was met with a surprise that made my blood boil.Claus was sitting in my chair, a look of calmness on his face. But as soon as he saw me, he turned around, a hint of surprise in his eyes. I didn't give him time to react, though. I immediately grabbed him by the collar, my fingers digging deep into his skin."What did you tell Raphael?" I demanded, my voice low and menacing. "What lies did you and Riezel tell him to make him break into pieces like that?"Claus looked at me, confusion etched on his face. "Ava, I don't know what you're talking about," he said, trying to calm me down.But I wasn't having it. I pushed him away, my hands shaking with anger. "Don't lie to me, Claus," I spat. "I know all about it. Raphael told me everything."Claus looked at me, s
Hopelessly Devoted LXIII. THE TABLES TURN
As the sunset approached, Raphael and I settled into the sand, his arms wrapped around me, holding me close. The sky was painted with hues of pink, orange, and purple, a breathtaking sight that seemed to match the emotions swirling inside me.As we sat there, watching the sun dip below the horizon, I felt a sense of sentimental wash over me. I couldn't help but think about the journey I had taken to get to this moment, to be back in Raphael's arms. All the pain, the heartache, the struggles – it had all been worth it, because in the end, I had found my way back to him.But as I gazed into his eyes, I couldn't help but wonder – if he knew everything, would he still love me? Would he still accept me, flaws and all? Or would he turn away, horrified by the secrets I had kept hidden for so long?I stared at him, lost in thought, and Raphael noticed. He smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners, and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you staring at me like that?"I hesitated, unsure of how to an
Hopelessly Devoted LXII. TORN APART
As we finished our meal at the restaurant, Raphael suggested that we head to a nearby hotel to continue our conversation in private. I agreed, and we hailed a taxi to take us to the hotel.As we rode in the taxi, Raphael's hand brushed against mine, sending a spark of electricity through my body. I turned to him, our eyes locking in a gaze that seemed to hold a thousand unspoken words.When we arrived at the hotel, Raphael paid the taxi driver and we stepped out onto the sidewalk. The cool evening air was filled with the sounds of the city, but all I could focus on was the man standing beside me.We walked into the hotel lobby, and Raphael approached the front desk to check us in. I stood beside him, my arm brushing against his as we waited for the receptionist to hand over our room key.As we made our way to the elevator, Raphael's hand found its way to the small of my back, his touch sending shivers down my spine. I leaned into him, my head tilting up to meet his gaze.The elevator
