"What's this?"Nicole asked, she couldn't believe what she was reading, why would he bring such an article to her, so early in the morning? She just woke up, she knew she shouldn't have opened the door but she had felt bad for locking him out last night, well now she didn't feel bad anymore she felt mad."Can't you tell?""And you decided it's okay to bring this to me?""Why not? You asked for it,"He said smiling and sitting on the bed, the man looked good so early in the morning, if he wasn't such a demon she could have called him handsome but he was a demon, demons are not handsome.“What? What do you mean by that?""I am saying you did the most, if you had just composed yourself maybe these people won't have so many negative things to say about you,"Rafael said and Nicole suddenly had the urge to bite off his head, no literally, she felt like doing it, he was a moron, how could he bring this to her, who does that."I have no words for you Rafael!! Salvador!!!"She yelled at him c

He kissed, her pulling her closer to him, the pressure of his mouth on hers made it impossible for her to think straight, he was indeed a good kisser, she knew from the kiss they shared that night and also the kisses they shared during their wedding, of course she didn't have anything to compare with but she could tell, his mouth explored hers, pushing back all thoughts and reasonings, she sighed in pleasure, kissing him back, he held her face with both hands, deepening the kiss, making her legs turn to gel, she didn't know a kiss could do this, make her lose all her thoughts, wait the heck a fucking minute, her eyes opened in bewilderment, she pushed him off her, moving away from him."What is it?He asked in shock, she looked at him, did he really not know what it is?"What the fuck? Why did you kiss me?She yelled wiping her mouth, she had let him kiss her and even enjoyed it, she couldn't believe she had just done that"You are my wife, I am allowed to kiss you, we are married re

Nicole, got up the next morning and left the penthouse before Rafael would wake up, she took a cab to her house, she was betting on not meeting her parents at home, she hoped they had one business meeting or a trip to attend and don't be home, when she got to her parent's house and her childhood home, she felt out of place after just four days away from it, maybe because she never felt at home here especially when Natalie wasn't around, like now, first she went to Natalie's room, she needed clothes and she knew she couldn't just start dressing down, that would be bad for Natalie's reputation, even if that's not what she wanted, she had to Natalie as much as she could, she went into Natalie's closet and picked some clothes that weren't her style but at least we're wearable, after which she closed Natalie's door and headed to her room, she hadn't been expecting to meet anyone there which was why she was shocked when she opened her door."Mom? What are you doing in my, I mean Nicole's ro

Rafael watched his wife, she was more quiet and calm this week compared to last week, she hasn't said a bad word to him and hadn't challenged him either, he didn't know what to make of her sudden silence, their first week of marriage had been a rollercoaster of different shocking events that he had woke up each day to her display, he could say he expected her to do something or say something to him that will ruin his mood but not recently, in fact, she hardly talked to him."Maybe if you were around, she might have spoken to you,"The voice in his head whispered, it was true, he hasn't been around much, he kind of felt bad, kind of, not totally, she wasn't easy to deal with either, yes he hasn't been around but the few times he was, she never lets him breathe in peace, they always have something to argue about, he had a lot on his plate right now, first on that list is exposing that bastard Leonard Jones who almost tricked him, if those rumors hadn't started, he won't have bothered t

He picked up the phone wondering what happened now for them to be calling him."What? Are you kidding me right now?"He yelled getting up, this must be a joke, they were going to release him, they better think again, how could the bastard make him a liar?"I am on my way, I will meet you up at the police station, don’t let anyone leave, I will be there soon,”He said and hung up, he turned to Natalie who was looking at him with curious eyes."I have to go to the police station, that bastard is pulling strings, I need to go before he buys every one of them off,"He said picking up his phone and calling his legal team, he told them to set up a meeting."Good luck,"Natalie said when he was about to leave, he came back and he couldn’t resist smiling at her, there was no point in letting the bastard Leonard be a reason he would be mad at his wife."I will be back before dinner, we are going out,"He said, going over to kiss her, if he was going to break whatever barrier she was trying to

Nicole quickly, tossed the dress on and fixed her makeup again, she expected Rafael to show up any moment now, he wanted to go out on a date night with her and after the things they talked about, she realized she might have judged him wrongly by thinking he was ruining that man's life if everything he said was true which she knew it was because she couldn't just picture Rafael lying on someone, well the man deserves everything he was getting and she hopes he gets exposed, how could a human think of endangering a lot of other people for their own selfish benefits? She just didn't understand humans, even her own twin, she just couldn't understand why Natalie chose not to stick to her words of returning and on top of that, she is not taking her calls, she should have expected this much from Natalie but she never thought she would do it especially knowing that the longer she stays away, the more their chances of being exposed."Natalie?"Rafael called, she quickly checked her reflection a

"Are you enjoying the food?"Rafael asked her breaking the silence that have been in the large room since they started eating, she just nodded and continued eating, they were at one of those big dinners in Florida, what's the name again, Christner's Prime Steak & Lobster Orlando, Florida, their steak was top-notch, she could give a ten over ten to the chef, they were giving them a private service as they were the only one there, She sensed Rafael might have paid for the whole place, flex."Good to know, after this we will go home,"He said the way he said home made her think he wasn't talking about the penthouse they have been living in since they got married, this home was different."Aren't you going to ask me why we haven't been to the house I told you we will stay in together after we get married? We have been married going to two weeks now, aren't you curious?"She was, but she couldn't just up and say anything, she had to be careful, obviously, Natalie and he had talked about i

He took over the kiss, carrying her up and dropping her on the bed his lips not leaving hers, as he gently let off the straps of her dress, she moaned into his mouth, this was too much, the way she was feeling, and he was just kissing her, she wanted him to do more, to give her more, his lips became even more urgent on hers as he took off her dress completely leaving her in just her undies, she let him, feeling him all over her, drowning on his touch on her body, her body begging him for more."I want you,"He whispered against her lips and she whimpered, she wanted him too, wanted everything he had to offer, wanted to give herself to him and just let consequences be damn, but she couldn't bring herself to do this, she couldn't sleep with him no matter how much she wanted him, she pushed him off her, getting off the bed, she quickly wore her dress back with shaking hands while he sat on the bed looking angry, she understood, he was right to be angry, she shouldn't have let this get so

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
