The next morning Eva was continuously calling Blaze to know that Sarah had reached home safely, but his mobile was switched off. She was restless, then suddenly someone back hugged her and caressed her belly. She recognized the smell; it was her husband.Eva's eyes widened in surprise as she turned around to face her husband, Rafael. "Where have you been?" she asked, a mix of relief and annoyance in her voice. "I've been trying to reach Blaze all morning. I was worried sick about Sarah."Rafael smiled charmingly, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "I'm sorry, my love. I was busy with some... business. But I'm back now."Eva's expression softened as she saw the warmth in Rafael's eyes. But then her brow furrowed again. "What do you know about Sarah? Blaze was supposed to drop her off home safely, but his phone is switched off."Rafael's smile faltered for a moment before he regained his composure. "I don't know anything about Sarah, my love. But I'm sure Blaze will turn up soon, with a
"Where are we?" she asked, her voice still shaking slightly.Blaze gestured to the small, cozy cabin surrounding them. "This is a safe house," he explained. "A place where no one can find us. You're safe here, Sarah."Sarah's gaze drifted around the cabin, taking in the rustic furnishings and the warm, golden light spilling from the fireplace. It was a peaceful, serene space, and for the first time in days, she felt a sense of calm wash over her."Who owns this place?" she asked, her curiosity getting the better of her.Blaze smiled. "Me"Sarah's eyes widened in surprise, her gaze snapping back to Blaze. "You own this place?" she asked, her voice filled with a mix of curiosity and skepticism.Blaze nodded, his smile growing wider. "Yeah, I do," he said. "I bought it a few years ago, as a... hideaway, I guess. A place where I can escape the world and just be alone."Sarah's eyes drifted around the cabin again, this time seeing it in a new light. It was Blaze's sanctuary, his private re
Blaze stood in the small kitchen, his hands moving deftly as he chopped vegetables and stirred the sizzling pan. The aroma of cooking meat and spices filled the air, making Sarah's stomach growl with hunger.She sat at the table, watching him with a smile. "You're quite the chef, aren't you?" she teased.Blaze glanced up, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "I try my best," he said, his voice low and husky.Sarah's gaze lingered on his hands, strong and capable as they worked. She felt a flutter in her chest, her heart beating faster.Blaze slid a plate in front of her, the food steaming hot. "Taste it," he said, his eyes sparkling with pride.Sarah took a bite, and her eyes widened in delight. "This is incredible!" she exclaimed.Blaze grinned, his face lighting up with pleasure. "I'm glad you like it," he said, sitting down beside her.As they ate together, the tension between them grew, a palpable force that neither dared to acknowledge. But Sarah couldn't help sneaking glances at B
Eva's eyes clouded with concern as she watched Rafael's transformation. The man she loved, who had once been so attentive and caring, was now distant and preoccupied. His eyes, once bright and warm, had grown cold and evasive.At first, Eva had tried to brush it off, thinking that Rafael was just stressed with work or adjusting to life after their vacation. But as the days turned into weeks and the weeks into months, she couldn't shake off the feeling that something was wrong.Rafael's absence was palpable, his silence deafening. He would leave early in the morning, without a word, and return late at night, exhausted and withdrawn. Whenever Eva tried to talk to him and ask him what was wrong, he would change the subject or brush her off with a curt reply.Eva felt like she was losing him, like he was slipping away from her grasp. She tried to hold on, to reach out to him, but he seemed determined to push her away.She came out of the bathroom after the night shower when she saw him si
"Is it necessary to leave this place? I like this place; we have been here for so many months." Sarah said sadly.Blaze cups her face and says, "It is also important to fulfill your dream, Sarah. I also want you to fulfill your dream of becoming a doctor. I will send you to a place from where you will be able to fulfill your dream, and maybe by now those people will have forgotten us, so maybe you will not be in any danger.""But I don't want to leave you," Sarah said, hugging Blaze.Blaze's eyes softened as he gazed at Sarah, his heart aching with emotion. He knew how much she had grown to love this place and how much she had grown to rely on him. But he also knew that he couldn't keep her here, not when there was a chance for her to fulfill her dreams."Sarah, my love," he whispered, his voice trembling with emotion. "I want you to have everything you deserve. I want you to become the doctor you've always wanted to be. And I know that can't happen here."Sarah's eyes welled up with
Rafael entered the room, his eyes scanning the space until they landed on Eva's peaceful form. She was sleeping, her chest rising and falling with each gentle breath. He approached her, his footsteps quiet on the floor.As he drew closer, his gaze fell on her face, serene and beautiful in slumber. He felt a pang of guilt, knowing that he had been keeping secrets from her and that his actions had put her in danger.His eyes drifted to her baby bump, a symbol of their love and future. He felt a surge of protectiveness, a desire to keep her and their child safe from harm.Rafael's hand reached out, hesitating for a moment before gently touching her belly. He felt a sense of awe, wonder, and love as he connected with their unborn child.He leaned in, his lips brushing against her skin in a soft kiss. Eva stirred, her eyes fluttering open as she sensed his presence."Rafael?" she whispered, her voice husky with sleep.He smiled, his eyes locked on hers. "I'm here, mi amor," he whispered ba
Blaze's voice cut through the silence, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. "You wanted to know about my family, right? Let me tell you now."Sarah's gaze drifted from the window to Blaze's profile, her expression wary."My family's not like yours, Sarah. We're not normal. My father's a made man, a high-ranking member of the mafia. And my sister... she was caught in the crossfire."Blaze's jaw clenched, his knuckles white on the steering wheel."She fell for the wrong guy, a gang leader from a rival family who killed my father. But he didn't love her, Sarah. He used her as a pawn to get to Rafael’s mother, to gain power and control."Sarah's eyes widened her heart racing with anticipation."He manipulated her, played on her emotions, and she didn't see it. She thought she was in love, but really, she was just a tool for him to use." Blaze's voice dripped with venom."And when he was done with her, he discarded her. But my Mrs. King’s men found out, and they went after him. There was a s
The grand entrance of the King mansion swung open, and Geoffrey McClane stepped inside, his son Blaze and daughter Sophia by his side. As they entered, a warm smile greeted them from across the room. Rafael King, a boy around Blaze's age, approached them with an air of confidence."Uncle Geoffrey, who's that with you?" Rafael asked, his eyes sparkling with curiosity.Geoffrey's face lit up with a proud smile. "This is my son Blaze, and this is Sophia, my daughter."The kids exchanged shy smiles, their eyes locking in a moment of tentative friendship.Rafael, dressed in a miniature version of his father's tailored suit, stepped forward and extended his hand towards Blaze. "Hello, I'm Rafael King."Just as Blaze was about to shake his hand, a sweet voice called out from across the room. "Rafael!!"Rafael turned towards the voice, a hint of mischief in his eyes. "Yes, mom."A stunning woman, Helen King, glided into the room, her elegant dress rustling with each step. Her warm smile falte
After 5 yearsRafael's eyes snapped open, his mind racing as the memories came flooding back. It had been five years since that fateful night, but the pain still felt like a fresh wound. He could still see Eva's face, pale and lifeless, her eyes closed.He experienced the real fear for the first time; for the first time, he understood the fragility of life. and how it feels when you lose a loved one. He never wanted to experience that feeling again.He looked on the other side of the bed, which was empty. He is surprised to see; soon the bathroom door clicked open and revealed his beautiful wife Eva.Rafael moved towards her and touched her face. Eva smiled."Don't go away from me; I feel like I'm going to lose you again.""Did you have that dream again?"She nodded,"Rafa, it's been 5 years since the accident; everything is fine now." She softly touched Rafael's face; Rafael rested his forehead on hers; both closed their eyes."That experience was the worst phase of my life.""But I'm
Rafael and Alexander stood at the forefront of their army, overlooking the vast estate of Lorenzo's mansion. They had built a formidable army, a coalition of their most trusted soldiers and allies."Tonight, we will bring Eva back," Rafael declared, his voice echoing through the ranks.Alexander nodded, his eyes gleaming with determination. "We will show Lorenzo the true meaning of power."With a nod, he gave the signal, and his army advanced a tidal wave of strength and firepower. They stormed the gate, overwhelming Lorenzo's guards with overwhelming numbers.Rafael and Alexander led the attack, their guns blazing as they ripped through the enemy lines. They fought with precision and skill, their years of experience and training giving them the edge.Lorenzo's men were no match for Rafael's army of kings. They retreated and entered the mansion as Rafael and Alexander's forces drew closer.The two leaders exchanged a sharp glance, then stormed through the front door, their guns at the
Rafael's eyes filled with tears as he looked at Sarah, her body still shaking with sobs. He knew he had to do something, anything, to help her. And then he remembered Blaze's last wish."Blaze wanted me to send you away from all this," Rafael said, his voice barely above a whisper. "He wanted you to be safe, to be far away from this dark world."Sarah looked up at him, her eyes red and puffy from crying. "What do you mean?" she asked, her voice shaking.Rafael took a deep breath. "He wanted me to send you to a place where you can start over, where you can leave all this behind. A place where you can be happy and achieve your goal, Sarah."Sarah's eyes widened in shock. "But I don't want to leave," she said, her voice firm. "I want to stay here,Rafael's expression was firm. "No, Sarah. This is exactly what Blaze didn't want. He wanted you to be safe, and I'm going to make sure that happens."With a gentle but firm touch, Rafael led Sarah away from the gravesite, away from the darkness
Rafael's face twisted in rage as he yelled, "What do you want, Rosalina?" The sound of his voice echoed off the warehouse walls, making Rosalina's smile seem even more sinister.Rosalina's smile never wavered, her eyes gleaming with a malevolent intensity. "Oh, Rafael," she purred, her voice dripping with malice. "I want what's rightfully mine. I want the power, the control, the respect. And I'll stop at nothing to get it."Rafael's eyes blazed with fury, his chest heaving with anger. "You'll never have it, Rosalina," he snarled, his voice low and menacing. "Not as long as I'm alive."Rosalina chuckled, the sound sending a chill down Rafael's spine. "We'll see about that, Rafael," she said, her eyes glinting with amusement. "You see, I have Eva. And I'll use her to get what I want. You'll do exactly as I say, or she'll suffer the consequences."Rafael's face twisted in anguish, his mind racing with thoughts of Eva in danger. "I'll never let that happen, Rosalina," he growled, his fist
"How dare you?" Eleanor hissed, her face inches from Rosalina's. "You will pay for your treachery. You will pay for even thinking of harming Rafael. He's my son, and I will stop at nothing to keep him safe.""He is not your son, Eleanor; he is your sister's son; don't forget he insulted you because of that bitch, and she needs to pay," Rosalina screamed, her voice venomous. "You're just a pathetic guardian, Eleanor. Rafael doesn't even respect you. He thinks you're weak because of your sister's legacy."Eleanor's face twisted in rage, and she raised her hand to slap Rosalina again. But Rosalina was ready. With a snarl, she pulled out a knife and lunged at Eleanor.The room erupted into chaos as Eleanor's entourage rushed to defend her. But Eleanor stood frozen, her eyes locked on Rosalina's knife. She knew she had underestimated Rosalina's desperation.With a swift motion, Rosalina plunged the knife into Eleanor's chest. Eleanor's eyes widened in shock as she stumbled backward, her ha
