CHAPTER 23: I SAW HER.

Later in the evening, the whole family of Hezekiah was relaxing after they had had their dinner. The sitting room wasn't lively nor was it stiff but one wouldn't want to feel comfortable there.

Johnson Hezekiah was cupping his chin with his palms, his face was dull. Anyone who might have entered the sitting room at that moment would have seen that the famous Johnson was now a shadow of himself. His sunken eyes were glued onto the television that kept rambling about some business officials.

For the past months, his business had automatically gone down the grave. The business shareholders were all withdrawing themselves from the business, he tried his best to keep everything under his control so that things wouldn't leak out but…it just went, poof.

Johnson sighed and rubbed his face in depression. His money was all going down the drain, his eyes darted toward the woman he called his wife, Jessica. She was busy watching him too.

Jessica had been trying her best to

This is the time I wished to and I did." The man replied."My dear cousin Vincent is smart and knows how to play with words," Erica said with a daring smile."And that's why you will always be behind me.""Don't be so sure of yourself." Erica chuckled and they clicked their glasses together before pronouncing the word CHEERS to each other. They took a light sip.Erica exchanged the position of her

    CHAPTER 25. MR RAPHAEL?The doorbell of Evelyn's apartment kept ringing repeatedly and all she wanted to do at that moment was to curse at whoever was disturbing her peace. She pushed herself from the chair and walked like a drunkard to open the door without trying to look at who it was. Well, she had it in mind that it was Kira but on opening the door…"Hey, Ki…Mr. Raphael?" Her eyes widened and her first instinct was to slam the door against his face which she did automatically. She leaned against it as her heart skipped a beat. She wasn't expecting him at her doorstep looking all enticing…what the hell was she thinking of in this situation?Raphael, who was standing in front of the door, rubbed his creased forehead. Was she taken by surprise? He knocked gently on the door."Miss Evelyn, you are keeping me waiting." He said and a few minutes later, the door was opened and Evelyn poked her head out before stepping out of the house, closing the door quickly. She puts on a smile on her

Did you have a bad dream?" He asked softly while she nodded in response."Do you want to tell me what it is all about?" He continued asking. Evelyn looked up at him from the corner of his body that she had hidden her face in. Was this appropriate in the first place? But right now, she just wanted to bear her mind to someone. Evelyn sniffed and proceeded in answering the question."I had a dream about someone snatching my son from me. It was so scary and it…it isn't my first time dreaming about this. Ever since I arrived back here, I have been having multiple scary dreams about my son and I am scared, Raphael…I am really scared…I can't live without my son…he is my life, I just can't." She said and burst into tears again.Raphael wondered what type of luck he had this time around. On one hand, he was trying so ha

They bowed to greet her as she walked into the mansion.Her heels clicked against the tiled floor with confidence as she walked past the workers. A man dressed in a black suit and fully armed met up with her."Where is my uncle?" She asked fiercely."In the private office." He replied and she left for the place.The man stared at her intently as she walked in a huge stride towards the private office.

    CHAPTER 28: HE LIKES YOU.Evelyn covered her face with the pillow but it got pulled away from her by Kira with a stern look."Don't think I am here to spend the night with you for nothing sis and I mean it. I just feel like they resemble each other a lot and your son called him 'daddy'.""Can you come off it, Kira? This is not strange…in fact, there is nothing strange about it. I won't lie to you, I saw the resemblance as well but…this is the world. There has been evidence of two people from different angles of the world looking so much alike but having no biological relationship. That's life."Kira nodded along to the provided explanation as she pinched her chin, "I see. That is actually acceptable.""And also, Mr. Raphael is a very busy man and I believe that he won't have time for such a thing. He has his family name to uphold and respect which is very important.""But don't you think that Mr. Raphael can probably be interested in you?" Kira went straight to the question that was b

    CHAPTER 29: ONE KISS IS ALL IT TAKES.Though Evelyn had tried reassuring Raphael about her coming to the office the next, she didn't make it and he perfectly understood the reason. She saw that she wasn't stable yet and it would only make her situation worse if she were to go to work.Two days later, she resumed fully. Dressed in her well-ironed smart dress, she proceeded to Raphael's office to hand over to him the presentation that she had come up with. She knocked on the door softly."Come in."Then she entered. Evelyn met him standing across his table with a cup of hot coffee. She suddenly became nervous after remembering Kira's words two days ago."Mr. Raphael, I am done with the papers meant for presentation. I will just put them right here and leave…" She turned around swiftly and was about to dash out."Did I say that you could leave, Evelyn?" He asked and placed his cup down on the table. Her name pronunciation coming from his mouth sounded melodious to her hearing. With her b

    CHAPTER 30: CONFESSION.As they returned to the office, Raphael glanced at Evelyn who was looking at the other side, she seemed to be lost in thought. Her face wasn't dull nor was it bright…it just felt in between.He turned to the other side that led to the company. Since he knew he would be going out with her, he told the driver not to mind."Are you alright, Evelyn?" He asked.Evelyn blinked and looked at him before nodding. Guess she needed to start getting used to him calling her informally."You seem lost." He added."I am alright, thank you." She looked at the time, it was past 4 in the evening. Tom must be preparing to come home. It would be great and would also make him happy if she went there to surprise him since Kira was the one who would always go there to pick him up most of the time."If you say so but if you need someone to talk with, I will always be here." He offered."I never knew my boss could be soft-hearted." Evelyn spat out."I am not a monster, Evelyn. I might

Where did she even have the strength to lift such a man in the first place? Speaking of him, her eyes landed on his facial features, and damn, even when his face was in the pool of a bloody-stained era, his classic features couldn't be hidden. His pointed nose had it all embedded with Kira's admiration until she snapped out of her thinking. Someone needed medical attention and here she was drooling about how good-looking he was, so terrible of her!She quickly brought out her box of first aid and waited a while for her water to get boiled before she started tending to his injuries. Thank goodness she definitely learned some medical tips from mum if not she would have been staring at the poor man in a dumb manner.She sat beside him and started unbuttoning his clothes, it was already getting dried.

    CHAPTER 80: THE END; WILD NIGHT.Evelyn finished showering. She was in Raphael's penthouse and Tom insisted on staying at Kira's place. She didn't know if that was willingly or if he was bribed to stay. She looked at the lingerie that Kira had insisted that she buy for Raphael's sake. She still remembered the conversation they had."Don't you think he will see me as being cheap?" She asked as she ransacked her hands through the lingerie."See as cheap? What? No, he even knows how hard he had to work just to get you so you ain't cheap my dear.""But it still feels kind of thrilling.""Have you two kissed?" Kira whispered."Yeah," Evelyn replied."Don't you feel like moving forward a bit?" Evelyn blushed and hit her friend with the lingerie before walking away."Fine then, I will buy it."Raphael came into the room with his phone in his hand when Evelyn released the bathrobe she was wearing. It was such perfect timing."Evelyn, do you…what the hell?" His eyes widened. His eyes slowly ate

There wasn't much to do, it felt as if she was living life on repeat for the past few months. Before she could take a spoon, the doorbell rang and it made her pause, wondering who it was. Kira would have called to inform her of her coming if it was her so who could it be?Tom stared at the door for a while, and so did his mother before she eventually stood up to answer it. When she opened the door, she was faced with the biggest surprise ever. Raphael was standing right in front of her, holding a box that she assumed was filled with pizza and maybe something else."Raphael." She whispered and he smiled. Tom stood up and came to their side.

Our engagement is just a few days away and I think it's gonna be special."Raphael yawned and nodded, "Call off the engagement."The smile on her face was wiped off completely when she heard this. She instantly put on a frown."What do you mean by calling off the engagement? I don't understand.""I believe that I am speaking the official language of the country correctly. CALL OFF THE ENGAGEMENT. Even a kid in basic class understands what I am saying.""Well, I don't. How can you just tell me to call off my engagement with you? It's impossible! Did I do something wrong, Raphael? I will apologize. I will change any bad habit of mine but please, don't make me call off the engagement.""T

He seemed of utmost pride as Shaft had invited him to join in his family's dinner party. This was a way for him to relieve stress, he glanced at his beautiful wife and opened his arm for her to hook hers with."You look amazing." He complimented."And you look gorgeous as ever. Old age does not affect you, darling."Micheal kissed her and they both walked out of their bedroom, climbing down the stairs as elegantly as ever.

He blew out the smoke from his cigarettes and put them down on the ashtray. He locked eyes with Raphael whose legs were crossed against each other."And congratulations on your new company that is completely sucking the life out of your father." He added and Raphael chuckled coldly."How did you know?" He asked him."I am not a son of the mafia for nothing. All the rich men in the city are people that I keep a close watch on probably for profit's sake.

They were currently holding a meeting with a few people around. The room was as chill as a home for kept stock fish. Raphael folded his arms as he watched everyone."I…I don't know, sir. Many of our investors are withdrawing from us. If care isn't taken, we might lose them all to the new company." He replied.That was true. Even though Raphael and the rest had been trying their best for the growth of the family business, there was this particular business that had risen from nowhere in the last four months and was already taking the lead as it was solely based on what Theo's group of industries had to offer.They were making more gains than them and what was even more frustrating was that the owner was unknown.
