Rafael's Point of View I laughed as I thought about what Klaus had just said earlier. He wants me to avoid Fleur, but the question is if I will follow him. When they completely disappeared from my sight, I took a deep breath and ran towards the venue's exit. I'm not just going to stand there in the garden. I am not going to follow anything that Klaus says. And I don't believe that he is Fleur's boyfriend either. When I left the venue, I saw Fleur getting into a car. I immediately looked around to find the vehicle I used. When I saw the car, I entered and put on a seatbelt. I saw they were leaving, so I immediately started the car engine I used. In the middle of my driving, my phone rang. But I ignored that. I only paid full attention to driving and watching the car before me. I simply followed the vehicle carrying Fleur so that Klaus wouldn't notice someone following them. I gripped the car's steering wheel tightly when the vehicle in front of me suddenly sped up. Klaus seemed to
Amari's Point of View We entered my unit without our lips parting. Klaus pulled me and made the kiss deeper. I also don't understand why I like what he is doing. Klaus was now caressing my back, which made me shiver. He pinned me to the wall and continued touching my body. It's like I'm being set on fire by the heat I feel from what Klaus is doing. He carried me to the bed and ran his hands down my legs. I don't know why I let him do these things to me. And I did not even bother to stop him. I felt I was ready to follow everything he wanted to do with me. Klaus was now removing his clothes. He started with his belt, followed by his pants, and only his boxer shorts were left. I bit my lip as my eyes landed on the thing between his thighs. Then I returned my gaze to Klaus, who looked into my eyes while slowly removing his white t-shirt. And when he finally released his shirt, I could not believe the next thing had happened. The guy in front of me was not Klaus anymore. It was Rafael,
Amari's Point of ViewI woke up in a dark room. And I am trying to understand why and how I got here. I was supposedly at the airport for my flight but didn't know why I was now in an unfamiliar place.I stood up from the bed. I immediately looked for my things, and all of them were on one side. I reached for my handbag on the bedside table, which I instantly checked. All my items were there, such as my wallet, cell phone, and other essential things.What is the purpose of kidnapping me? A thought came into my mind.I roamed my eyes, and I saw the slightly open door.Seriously? I got kidnapped, but the door was open.I slowly walked towards the door. I looked outside the room that I was standing in. It's dark and quiet, and I think I am alone now.Negative thoughts came to mind, but I tried to drive them away. I should prioritize thinking about how I can get out and escape this place.I was about to return to the room I was in earlier and get my phone to call for help when the lights
Rafael's Point of View "Baby, why did you push me?" As I forcefully pushed Agatha away, she immediately expressed opposition and dissatisfaction with my actions. "Stop it, Agatha. There might be paparazzi around. And I hate to be a news headline in the following hours." I said that made her laugh. "So what? If that happens, let's admit to the public that we are official." Agatha said while giving me a flirtatious look. She wrapped her arms around my waist, which made me frown at her. "I will do that if it is Fleur." I said proudly to her. Agatha loosened her arms around my waist and rolled her eyes at me. "Moved on from her. You already have me. I can be her if you want. After all, our names were just the same." Agatha said with pleading eyes. I shook my head at her in response. "Yes, your name is Fleur. Agatha Fleur not Amari Fleur." I answered her. I saw pain flash in her eyes, but I ignored it. Amari Fleur is the only woman I am interested in. I want to make things cl
Amari Fleur's Point of View To evade Rafael, I concealed myself in a confined area. Regrettably, I ended up missing out on the celebration that was planned for me as a surprise. I acknowledge that eavesdropping on individuals' conversations is inappropriate, yet that is precisely what I am currently engaging in. I experienced a compelling curiosity to ascertain the events unfolding between Rafael and the lady he was conversing with, which instigated my actions. I find myself contemplating whether I am experiencing jealousy. However, I quickly dismiss the notion, as it seems like a relatively insignificant emotion. I do not feel any jealousy towards Rafael's relationship with that woman. Still, I am interested in learning more about their dynamics and connection. The distinct sound of a woman's giggle suddenly grabbed my attention, causing me to furrow my brow in confusion and curiosity. I am curious about what caused her to laugh at this moment. It appeared as though they
Rafael's Point of View I glanced at Agatha, peacefully sleeping in bed, before leaving her room. I picked up my phone at the living room table before heading out. I opened my phone and checked some emails from work. There were a lot of emails from different potential investors. I smiled at the thought that, finally, some people were showing interest. As I reached the party venue, I turned off my phone and started to look for Hermione. She was with some of her friends and busy chit-chatting. I waited for her to notice my existence at the party venue. And as her eyes landed on me, I raised my hand and waved at her. Hermione waved back, and minutes later, she stood before me. "You're here, Raf," Hermione cheerfully welcomed me. I smiled at her before wandering my eyes around the venue. I was trying to look for Fleur, but it seemed she wasn't around. "Are you looking for Fleur" I glanced at Hermione and nodded my head. She was smiling at me from ear to ear. "Which Fleur are you
Amari Fleur's Point of View It was already two in the afternoon when I arrived at Seasons Beach Resort. It was a tiring yet fantastic experience for me. Everyone on the plane was accommodating and approachable, making my first experience unforgettable. I have never been on a flight wherein flight attendants were pleasant. And speaking of appreciation, I admire the Seasons Beach Resort for sending a service vehicle to every resort's guests. I felt tired because of my long hours of flight. But thanks to Patrizia, who made a reservation for me at the resort. I only spent a little time at the resort's front desk. They just looked for my name in the list of reservations, and the staff immediately escorted me to my room. It's nice that the staff assisted me in carrying my two pieces of luggage that contained the things I will be using for one week. It was a short vacation because I had to return to Paris immediately for the court trial. So I will make sure to have the most of it. After
Amari Fleur's Point of View That man on the balcony was not there anymore, but I still couldn't take my eyes off it from where he stood earlier. I felt uneasy but happy at the same time. I seemed to feel these emotions when Rafael was around me. "Fleur?" I was suddenly returned to reality when Jacob snapped his fingers in front of my face. I forgot that he was still here at my side. I rolled my eyes before I turned my back on him. I better go back to my room and have some rest. As I started walking, Jacob was still following me. "So, are you here for vacation? Alone or with someone?" He asked, but I didn't pay attention and continued walking towards the resort. "Fleur, have you still not forgiven me?" I immediately stopped and faced Jacob. I gave him a stern face, then continued walking again. "Come on, Fleur, hey!" I did not dare to look back at Jacob. My mind is actively wandering into something else. The man earlier, I hope it wasn't him. I shook my head and let out a si
AMARI FLEUR'S POV"Fleur, please talk to me," Rafael pleaded but I remained silent and keep my distance away from him."Fleur, I have been waiting for you to come back, I kept searching for you. Then, now you are getting married to my brother?" Rafael added."Please, Rafael, let me go. I am now happy with your brother so leave us alone." I said to Rafael but he still continue following me."How about Aella, she has a lot of similarities with me, is she my daughter?" Rafael said which made me nervous."Rafael, please, don't do this, just let me go and stop concluding things," I said but what shocked me is when Rafael kneeled in front of me. "Please, Fleur, choose me, we can runaway together. You don't need to get married with my brother." Rafael said as he reached for my hands. "Are you insane? I can't hurt your brother just like that. I love him." I said which made Rafael stood up."Yes, I am insane. I lost my sanity because of you yet you can afford to hurt me like this." Rafael sa
AMARI FLEUR'S POVI was busy with my work when Neil sat beside me on the sofa while Aella was busy with her toys. Neil reached for the TV remote control and turned it on just in time for the Business News channel. It was his favorite channel, so Neil was so focused on watching. Suddenly, Aella came to Neil and sat on his lap; I smiled to see my son so happy."And here's our top businessman of the year, Mr. Rafael Villarante," the Interviewer said. I stopped my work and then got my attention. I couldn't take my eyes off the TV, especially when Rafael was smiling."Daddy," Aella said, which surprised me; she was looking at Rafael and calling him daddy."You look gorgeous, Mr. Villarante. Is it because of your love life?" The Interviewer asked, and I could see Rafael's smile. Does Rafael have a love life? Does he love someone else? I immediately reached for the remote and turned off the TV, not realizing that I was starting to cry. I rubbed it quickly, then fixed myself."Go back to your
AMARI FLEUR'S POVFLASHBACKI woke up in a putting room, and I was about to stand up from the bed, but I felt a headache. I couldn't remember why I had a zero, so I immediately looked for my phone."You're awake," said a man sitting on the edge of my bed. I frowned as I tried to recognize the man in front of me."Neil? Neil Gutierrez?” I said then laughed when I met my friend during my student years at the Business Academy, he smiled at me then walked closer."It's good that you still remember me; how are you feeling?" Neil asked. I smiled then shook my head at him."What happened to me? Why am I here in the hospital? The last thing I remember is that I was supposedly on my way to the airport to pick up my Mom," I said, then suddenly remembered my car on fire. I felt a headache so Neil immediately supported me."Don't worry, just relax, Amari," Neil said and smiled at me, but I suddenly remembered the men chasing me and shooting at my car."Neil, my life is dangerous. I don't know, bu
RAFAEL'S POVWeeks have passed, and we have asked all the houses closest to where the accident happened. We didn't see Fleur but continued to press charges against Zerina Cortez. We are very grateful to Mr. Cy Veron, who became the star witness in the case. Because of what happened, Zephanie seems to have lost his sanity, so he was admitted to the Psychiatric Hospital. When Zerina Cortez ended up in prison with her parents, Mr. Veron brought Zephanie's son, Mr. Veron, to another country to be treated there.Fleur's Mom couldn't stop crying because of what happened, fortunately Mr. was always by her side. Buenaflor. We only pray that Fleur is in good condition because, according to the police, there is no sign; they said they saw a trace of blood not far away. Fleur may have gotten out of her car before her car completely exploded."What's up?" Fleur's Mom asked me. I sighed as I shook my head. Fleur's Mom smiled at me and then hugged me."Don't worry, Rafael, we will see Fleur too." F
AMARI FLEUR'S POVAs I received a messaged from Mom, I immediately headed to my car to pick her up at the airport. Mom and Aunt Lilet already arrived and, in the meantime, she is at a restaurant, she will be waiting for me there to have lunch.I already informed uncle Franco about Mom and Aunt Lilet's arrival, which is why they are busy preparing their house for their arrival. I didn't even go home last night because there was no one there. Klaus let me stay at his condo unit while he went to Devera's family gathering. Their family invited me but I chose not to go because I wasn't in the mood either.I was driving when I noticed that my phone kept ringing. I checked the screen and it was an unregistered number that's why I didn't answer the call. But a few minutes have passed and it's still ringing. I swiped the answer button then turned on the loudspeaker."Hello, who is this?" I said while still driving the car."Son," Said a familiar voice on the other line. I suddenly felt a tight
TIMOTHEO’S POV"Sir, here is the second DNA test you requested." The hospital staff spoke and then handed me the DNA test I had done earlier.“Thank you.” I spoke sparingly then handed over an envelope containing money. I immediately went straight to my car. I decided to read the result when I got home that's why I drove home in a hurry.As I got home, I immediately went straight to the stairs and passed Zerina and Zephanie in the kitchen. It seemed that they didn't notice me which is good because I need someone to read the two DNA results I did.When I entered the room, I immediately approached the bed but the previous DNA test I had done was not there. I was about to call Zerina to ask her but I immediately noticed that the envelope I was looking for was on my table. When I touched the envelope, my forehead immediately wrinkled, it was already opened. But I ignored that and immediately read the results. It was a DNA test between me and Ms. Amari Fleur Guevarra.When we first met h
ZEPHANIE'S POV"Ms. Cortez?” Language of the private investigator which I hired."Sit down and give me updates." I said this then finished the wine I was drinking. The investigator sat in front of me and dropped an envelope."That's Ms. Cortez are the pictures I took yesterday.” Language of the investigator. I put down the wine glass and immediately reached for the envelope. As I opened it, it immediately dawned on me. It was Rafael and Fleur. They looked so happy together and took the photo at a fastfood chain. The next photo is them inside the car then followed by a photo which is Rafael was holding Fleur's hand. I immediately tore it up and threw it away."Just here? What else did you find out?!” I hate language."According to my source, they have known each other for a long time, about six years ago Ms. Cortez. They met at New York Fashion Week. Mr. Villarante was a model while Ms. Guevarra was a designer and one of the models too. Also based on my obtained information, after New
AMARI FLEUR'S POV"We're here," Rafael said. From the window I could see a vast land. I frowned then turned to Rafael.“Where are we? Shall we talk here?” I asked, and he smiled."Let's get out of the car first, I'll show you something," Rafael said, then got out of the car. I immediately went to the right side of the vehicle to open the car door."So, where are we?" I will ask. Rafael smiled at me and then pointed to a small hut."In that hut, that's where we're going," Rafael said. I frowned as I looked at the hut he pointed to."Why there? What's up?" I'm still curious. Rafael smiled and then suddenly pulled me by my hand. We both ran towards the hut he was talking about. And when we got to the front of itust admired it like that. This hut is just so beautiful up close. It looks small when you look at it from a distance, but it is big and up close.“I had it done two years ago. That was because Dad was forcing me to go home to manage his company. I don't have my own house here and
RAFAEL’S POVI went straight into the restaurant, where Zephanie was waiting for me. Supposedly, Zephanie and I will meet Fleur to discuss our wedding, but since everything is clear between Fleur and me, I will not prolong all of this. I am planning to end this arranged marriage because in the first place I did not agree to it. And if I were to marry anyone, it would be Fleur and no one else.As I walked towards Zephanie's table, I was slightly surprised to see his and my parents there. I immediately approached my parents and paid respect to them and the same to Zephanie's parents. Even though I was wondering, I sat down next to Zephanie. They all had big smiles on their faces, which worried me a little."I wasn't expecting you to be here, mom, dad." I spoke to my parents but they still smiled at me and so did Zephanie's parents."What's happening?" I whispered to Zephanie but she just smiled at me. "Let's wait for your wedding designer and then we'll talk about everything." Zephanie
