"I don't know what you want from me Rafael, I don't think you have a right to tell me who I should or should not be with, we don't have that kind of a relationship anymore and right now, you are acting like I did something bad, I am allowed to move on aren't I? like what's your expectation? do you expect me to hold on to the past forever? we were married, we were happy, shits happened and you decided to end things, I went through hell because of it, and right now, you saying such things to me is making me think maybe you wanted me to be unhappy forever, I am sorry to disappoint you Rafael, but I can and I will be happy even if you don't want me to! like I said before, you have no right whatsoever over me, better to remember that,"Nicole said and took a deep breath to calm herself, the nerve of him to talk her down, they haven't been together for months now and he expect her to remain sad, he must be joking, even though his assumption of her relationship with Aron was wrong, she had n

"Stay away from that family,"He said to himself, that was why he got a divorce in the first place, maybe he was starting to forget how that family robbed him of his family and killed his unborn child, he should do well to remember that.He met Josie at the party, and they both ditched it after spending only a few hours there as Rafael discovered there wasn't really anyone there that he could talk to concerning getting approval to open his own gold mine, Josie said it was the most boring party ever, they ended up going to a club together and having a good time."It was nice meeting you Rafael, and I hope we meet more again, don't forget to call me alright?"Josie asked as she pecked him on the cheek"Sure, Josie, it was nice meeting you too,""Honestly, Raf, I haven't had this much fun at a date in a long time, thank you for being a good company,"Rafael smiled at her, he had fun too."I had fun too,""Good night Rafael,""Good night,"He responded and she got off the car, he watched

The week after she returned from Boston was hella hectic for her, yes she agreed to help and be involved in the preparation for their birthday and also her parent's anniversary but she didn't expect it to be so much work, she expected to just have to pick between wines, cake and decorations and all that kind of stuff but what she wasn't ready for was the kind of work her parents had assigned to her, they made her do the public aspect and she had to face the cameras officially for the first time in her life and even though it hasn't been as bad as she had thought it would be, it still wasn't easy."I think it was pretty easy seeing that you decided to appear more on TV,"The voice in her head accused, she let out a small laugh, she had made a small, okay not so small decision on Wednesday when a brand she worked with shortly as Natalie had approached her and wanted to sign with her, she hadn't given it much thought and just signed the deal, it was a leap in another direction, she wante

"I know her, I met her before in New York,"Nicole revealed staring blankly at the paper."Really? You guys know each other?""Not really, I saw them together in New York, she was his date to Lucas's party,""Oh, then why did he have a problem with you having Aron as a date if he also have someone with him too? That's double standards, oh, I remember now, you told me about it but I didn't think he was really dating her, now this is rubbish because he expects you to stay single while he moves on, I just don't understand men,"Grace lamented. Nicole let out a sad sigh, she should do well to get used to it."Hey, Nicole, are you okay? I shouldn't have shown these to you, I am sorry,"Grace said in a low voice, Nicole shook her head, it was okay that she showed her, she already told herself she will move on and besides she saw him with the lady already in New York, it shouldn't be a surprise, good for him to start a new life, it was just the way things should be, of course, it hurt to see

Rafael walked into his office feeling uneasy for some reason, the last time he had this kind of feeling something bad had happened and he didn't like to think of that happening today of all day, today was the day he gets to know if he can successfully run his own good mine, he has put so much into this that if the plan doesn't fall through he might not know how to handle the lost, this is why he hated to have to need approval to do something, people in power tend to play with your feelings, he just wishes they will let him do his thing in peace.He tried to concentrate on other works but then Josie called, ever since after that date they have grown relatively close, they haven't seen each other since because they were both busy but Josie made it a habit of calling him each day that when she doesn't he does and it sort of became a routine."Rafael,""Hey, good morning Josie how was your night?""Cool, I wanted to ask if you will like to meet up later tonight, we haven't seen each other

"What is it? Why are you apologizing?"He asked, hoping that whatever it is would not make him lose her as an assistant, he liked her too much to lose her."The results of the Congress, it came in from the department of mining and mitigation this morning, I don't think it's in our favor,"She revealed and he realized she might not have looked so down because of what was going on with Caleb and her, neither was she thinking of quitting, he looked at the file she was carrying."Is that it?""Yes sir, it got in as I entered the office,""But I thought it was till evening,""I know that's why I feel it didn't go as planned,"She said handing him the file, he opened and flipped to the end, a deep frown taken over him as he read the rejection, that wasn't the part that made him make, no, it was the reason for the rejection that got him all angry, he should have known those old fools will pull a stunt like this, they always mess up and always try to justify what they do, what? They don't th

She walked back towards her ward in a sad mood, she needed to speak with Rafael and hoped he come back soon, instead of going back to the room, she opted for going to the hospital rooftop, she asked for directions and was shown the way up, she saw a few people up there and went to the more quiet side, sat down and brought out her phone from the hospital gown pocket, she had found the phone next to her when she woke up this morning, she thought she had lost it but thankfully not, she played with the phone before dialing his number, it didn't go through, maybe he turned it off, she wished he could just appear in front of her, she needed to talk to him, they have been separated for too long, she wanted him back now."Rafael,"She whispered his name."What are you doing here on your own, I have been looking everywhere for you,"She heard his voice and turned to see him waving at her, she stood up from where she sat, he appeared, she smiled when he did before bursting into tears, he ran t

Nicole looked around when she woke up again, Rafael wasn't by her side anymore, she looked to where Natalie was seated with Aron by her side, they were talking in whispers, she had told him to go and not return until he has gotten enough rest, he didn't want to leave so she had yelled at him to get out of her presence, it was harsh but she needed him to take care of himself too, she didn't want him to be careless with his health, he had surgery and he wasn't taking care of himself, imagine how scared she had been when all she wanted was to playfully hit him yet she ended up hurting him, the look of pain in his eyes had sent a shiver of fear down her body, she expected to see him again at least before she went to sleep last night but he hadn't shown up, when she woke up this morning, she had looked around for him too, she knew she told him to rest and he needed it but she had things to tell him, it was almost afternoon and he still wasn't back."Nicole, you are awake,"Natalie said as

"What happened?"The doctor asked looking at his hand."I mistakenly hit it somewhere and it is so fucking painful,"He said as the doctor helped him remove his shirt, he saw that his hand was bleeding again, Nicole didn't even hit hard enough for him to be bleeding this much."This is why I told you to look after yourself but you claimed to be fine, now we have to do a restitch or it might get infected and that's not good,"The doctor said to him as he placed a call across, it happened so fast, one minute he was watching the doctor give out instructions to whoever on the other side of the call, and the next minute, he saw himself falling, his head spinning and he couldn't control himself, he heard the doctor yell for someone and that was all he could remember.When he woke up again, he was back on the bed he had run away from, with the doctor, not the one he was with earlier but another doctor fixing something on the drip near his bed."You are awake, you stubborn man, you nearly kil

Rafael looked around the room he was in, the pain in his hands finally subsided, he got up and pulled his shirt on just as the door opened."Oh, you are up,"Lance said walking up to him."Yes, were you here throughout the night?""No, I just came in, I had to go to the police station, the other man was arrested this morning, but sadly Leonard died on the way to the hospital last night,"Lance revealed."What about my wife and her sister? Are they awake yet?"He asked standing on fixing his trousers."I don't know yet, I came straight here when I was told you are here, I can go and check for you if you want,"He offered."No, that's fine I will go myself,""I don't think that's advisable seeing that you had surgery a few hours ago,"Lance said trying to block his way."I am fine, don't you have things to do?""Yes, I will be on my way, call me if you need anything,"Lance said as they both walked out of his hospital room, they parted ways as Rafael walked straight to the doctor's offi

"Nicole?"She heard her name, it wasn't just anyone calling her name it was Rafael, he came, he was here, he came for her."Don't come any closer, don't fucking come closer or she will be dead,"Leonard yelled holding on to Nicole, he pointed the gun at her, Rafael slowed down for a moment, she wanted to run to him, run into his embrace but she knew doing that would be catastrophic, so she stayed still."Rafael,"She cried"Baby, it will be fine I got you,"He said, she couldn't make out his face properly, the room wasn't dark as before but her eyes were blinded by tears and her body tried."Let her go, Leonard, let her go, she didn't do anything to you, fucking let her go,"He told Leonard who pulled her even closer and pressed the gun to her face."You think I am a fool? I should let her go? No way, if I go down, she dies,"He yelled at him pointing the gun at him."Let her go and face me, you moron,""Please don't Rafael don't provoke him, please,"She pleaded, her voice was almost

After the talk with Rafael, Nicole couldn't fall asleep or do anything else again, she just sat and listened, Rafael said he will come and get them and she didn't want to be asleep when that happened, she told her sister to sleep so that she can be on watch, it seems like the younger guy finally left because she hasn't seen him since after their talk the other day. She silently prayed that Rafael will come for them tonight, she didn't want to spend a third night here, she wanted to go home, go home not to her family's mansion but to the house she shared with Rafael, even if he doesn't want to live in the mansion anymore she would stay with him at his new house, anywhere he was would be her home, she couldn't wait to tell him that she was sorry for everything and that she loves him so much,Nicole heard the noise in the distance, not just any kind of noise, vehicles were entering where they are, she quickly got up and walked to where Natalie lay."Natie? Natie? I think help is here, th

"Baby? What baby?"He asked."Nicole is pregnant, I know she hadn't told you yet, and she would want to tell you herself but you have to know that my daughter is pregnant with your child and you have to get them back soon, this is not good for the baby,"She replied, he didn't know what to say, he didn't know Nicole was pregnant, she didn't say a word to him, he thought, God, he thought the doctor said she won't be able to get pregnant again, dies that mean. Oh God, he needed to get her back. Aron collected the phone from him and spoke to Nicole's parents while he sat there still in shock.The police, his own team, and even the twins' parents agreed that it would be better if they involved security to avoid any foul play, he reluctantly agreed.Leonard didn't call back, instead, he texted a location where they can meet for the exchange and it was game on.Preparation for the meet up was super easy, it was the easy part of the whole thing, he wanted to go alone, wanted to just give the
