Chapter 33
'My ears must be rusty because I thought I heard you uttering a nasty word. Could you do the courtesy of repeating it Ms. Anderson?', he stalked towards me.
'No... not exactly interesting', I took a step back shutting the door closed as he caged me in.
'You sure about that?', he locked the door.
'What... are we talking about?', I asked breathlessly.
In answer, he kissed me. No not kissed. He devoured me. Consuming me until we both burst into flames. He claimed me. Making me his.
'You Ms. Anderson, are totally, utterly, and completely mine. Mine to obey, mine to cherish and mine to honor', he whispered near my lips. My heart lurched at his whispered words.
My inner diva perched herself forward on the desk, adjusting her imaginary spectacles said- Sounds like wedding vows. And I didn't even go dress shopping. He sure is stingy.
As always, I ignored her. Because Raphael Sinclair saying this (other than obey) is rare. Finding Disneyland i

I woke up confused and disoriented, felt like I was immersed in year-long sleep inertia. I thought I heard something along the lines 'I wish it wasn't you'. Did I imagine it? I couldn't tell anymore. I checked for Raphael, but he isn't anywhere to be seen. Where is he? Did I scare him off? Is he waiting somewhere; For me to vacate his office? Was I too emotional? Too clingy? I mentally cringed thinking how it would have appeared to Rafa.What do you expect? You- Sleeping beauty and he- a prince, kneeling on the floor, waiting for you to wake up? Walking into the sunset, living happily ever after! Please!!That would have been the day earth stood still. I gave an internal sigh and thought of going back to the desk, behaving normally, but… I discarded that idea. I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t face another day not knowing what’s going to happen to us. It’s time to tell Raphael Sinclair how I feel. It’s time he knows. It’s just&hell

My mouth dried up hearing the name of the mansion. I tried to keep a straight face, not letting him know how much this upsets me. Sinclair Mansion. The mansion that held all the answers to my questions. I have a feeling that this is going to be the place where my quest for revenge ends.‘Is that so? I would like to see that place’, I gave him a smile which for once did fool him.‘Really? You never mentioned it before’, he said nonchalantly.‘I wish to see the place where you grew up’, I shrugged my answer. It’s as I said is one of the reasons. I want to see the place where he was unwanted.‘As you wish’, he kissed me with a confidence that nothing in this world would stop him from getting what he wanted.‘I like it when you say that. My very own genie’, I matched his passion.I broke the kiss remembering something. ‘Before I forget, I have to tell you something’.

‘If it’s any consolation, I never discussed who is more handsome- you or your brother. Because for a fact I know you are more…you know… handsome’, I tried to butter him up, my cheeks burning from embarrassing myself before Vivian.My persuasion tactics must have worked on him because he asked Vivian to leave. Good. At least there would be no audience.‘Why were you asking outsiders about my family M. Anderson?’, he asked solemnly.‘Because you never discuss anything about them. You never say anything personal about yourself. I know we are still very new in our relationship, but I have a right to know about you. At the very least about your family. God, I didn’t even know you had a brother until Nathaniel Sinclair turned up at the office. How would you know how it made me feel? I was not asking about your bank details or some company secrets. I was just inquiring about your family, which can be learned by an

I zeroed in on her cabin, searching everywhere for her. Here kitty kitty…I could almost hear my inner diva calling with mock sweetness. I asked one of her possums her whereabouts. Something must have given away from my expression because she pointed her location to me without any fuss.My inner self rubbed her hands in anticipation. I opened the washroom door with a bang and ordered everyone inside to get out with a hand gesture. Everyone scrambled except for Vivian, who must have lost her brain cells along the way. She gave a pose any model would be proud of, relaxed and nonchalant.‘Oh, look what the cat dragged here? Lost your way sweetheart? Shall I show you the way to the exit? It would be my pleasure’, she drawled in her leisurely pose checking her lipstick.Rather than give a reply to her, I turned and locked the door. Some of her brain cells must be still working properly I guess because for the first time she noticed her situation.

There is not even a chance of me trying to behave like I didn’t hear him. I was stuck like a deer caught in headlights. Coming face to face with a potential murderer is not how I pictured my lunch break going to be.‘I…uh…I’, that’s it, my mind took a bag and went on a vacation. What will someone say to their sister’s murderer? Rage boiled inside me. I want to plummet him to the ground with my blows. Alas, I shall not do it. I shook myself clearing any emotions and lingered and pasted a smile on my face.I tried again with my pretension. ‘Oh, Mr. Sinclair, I was just going to have some lunch. You must be busy. Here, please don’t let me keep you from whatever work you were doing’, I slide out from the elevator, giving him a wide berth for him to enter.‘Oh no. How can I work when I can have a chance to have lunch with such a pretty face!’, he tried to flatter me.Lunch? with him? I i

I stared at him with my mouth hung open while he sat on the extra chair. ‘What are you doing here?’, I blurted out without any prelude.To my sensible question, he bestowed his reply by raising his eyebrow, meaning- what do you think? I took a quick look at Nathaniel to dissect his reaction and I could see relief coating his face. I couldn’t continue my concealed interrogation in front of Raphael without waving red flags. Instead, I asked him how he found the restaurant?His previous disposition restored Nathaniel interrupted by blurting, ‘Raphael Sinclair can do anything, find anything if he so wishes. This is just a child play for him’, a fit of inconspicuous jealousy is hinted from his expression which he cloaked when Raphael turned towards him. So, that’s how things are?‘Not everything’, Raphael replied for the first time while looking at me with heat.Sexual tension engulfed us as his heated gaze met m

The next afternoon I contemplated confronting Raphael. Tomorrow is Friday, in other words, The Charity Ball day. The day I’m going to meet Sinclair Family. And Raphael has yet to discuss minute details with me like timings, where to meet etc., I won’t let myself assume that he is going to collect me at my home. It would be out of his way which is a waste of time. And Raphael Sinclair doesn’t waste it if he could help it. But where is the guy? It’s not like him to avoid a person or a situation. But it’s pretty clear he is avoiding me. Generally, when Raphael Sinclair is inattention, it’s in your face noteworthy. Even though we are not glued to each other 24/7, I would know when he is voluntarily steering clear of me.Not to point out the obvious, but he didn’t come home last night. Which is a first? And here I thought 100% attendance is guaranteed. Had to rely on the fantasies to pass my boredom, my inner self complained while sighing.

Before going home, I stopped at a cafe nearer to the office for lunch. I don’t want to face the empty walls of my home yet. I tried my best not to think about what Raphael’s doing in his office with her. Am I judging too soon? Maybe he has a legitimate reason for having her in his office. What if she is not Elizabeth but some executive from his other branch or something? At this point I’m picking straws I know, but what if I’m jumping to a conclusion without hearing the verdict? Doesn’t he have a say? I know how he treated me is wrong. But shouldn’t I give him a chance to hear his side? For the relationship's sake? All these doubts my mind will definitely play dirty tricks enough to make me mad. Only one way to get clarified. I’m no coward, then why take a coward’s route now?With that in mind, I returned to the office mustering normalcy with pride wrapped around me like a cloak. The office door is still locked. Not that I haven
