Did Rafael come back without her knowledge? She tiptoed towards where she heard the sound and tried to open the door but it was locked, everywhere was silence once more, she listened if she could hear anything but no sound came, who was it that was locked inside the room?

Crystal ran into the bathroom and banged the door behind her, she breathed in and watched her reflection in the mirror, she looked flushed, her hair tousled and her lips swollen, she touched her lips with a shaky hand, why had she stopped him? She asked herself, they were legally married even if it would just be for a year, she wanted more than that, she thought, giving herself the answer to why she had stopped him, she does not want random sex with him, she wanted it to mean something to him, she wanted more than just a contract marriage and if she had given in to him now, it would mean nothing to him, it would be just another ride to him, she quickly dressed up and came out from the bathroom."

Crystal was dressed in a floor length mid- night blue dress that showed off her cleavage, she looked like a princess borne out of Disney, she reached the end of the stairs and stood, her expression was that of uncertainty, "well?" She queried. Rafael blinked several times before muttering "beautiful"She smiled at his compliment and he was sucker punched, he felt like a besotted fool, and the thought of how disgusting he was making himself look made him angry with himself" We are going to be late" His suddenly chilled voice wiped the smile from her face and Rafael almost regretted his tone."

A cry wrenched from his mouth as he screamed." Crystal, watch out", he broke into a short run and covered the short distance between them, he got there on time to push her out of harm's way and fell hard with her on the side of the hard ground, he shielded her body with his as the vase fell just beside them, pieces of it pricked his arm and it oozes out blood.Rafael glanced up the balcony but no one was there, there was rancor and guess from inside came out to see what the commotion was about." Oh my God, are you okay?" Serene screamed in alarm when she came out to see the scene before her.Rafael glanced at Crystal, " are you alright?"
