"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

Rafael dropped his phone and looked out through the window, he had a lot on his mind but he couldn't do anyway with the thought that she was hiding something from him and he just couldn't figure it out, they had been married for over four weeks, four freaking weeks, still they haven't consummated their marriage, each time they get intimate, she gets scared and run, just what was she hiding from him? And how would he get through to her? He could tell each time that she wanted it to but something was holding her back, these past three weeks, he had tried to keep his hands to himself, and just give her the space she wanted but it has gotten to the point that he couldn't take it anymore, he has been calibate since they started dating and even when they got married, this is the longest he has gone without any sexual activities since he lost his virginity at eighteen, he might be everything else but being a cheat is not one of them, he was married so he would wait until she was ready no mat

The last thing he wanted was for her to be worried and the reason being the bastard who isn’t man enough to own up to his wrong doing, in fact, he didn’t want her to be worried at all, the only thing he wanted now was for her to want him enough to give in to the desire,”"Huh, as if she would,"The voice in his head said mocking him, he shut it off and got in his car, he told his driver to go home earlier, the only people that were coming with him are his bodyguards, he already told them to drive at a distance, he knew Natalie don’t like having them around, she has said it numerous times even when they were dating, she didn't like having them around but that didn't mean he would jeopardize their safety, it was going to be a long drive to Blue run so they needed them. His phone rang and he frowned at the caller, Caleb, the moron finally remembered he existed."Yes, Caleb?""Wow, man, now that you are a married man, you forget I exist?""Really? Caleb?"His supposed friend was another p

“Natalie, look at me, I am not going to hurt you, okay?"He said holding her hands, he didn’t just get it, she knew, she knew he wouldn’t hurt her, he has been patient with her long enough."I know, I just,"She said and trade off when she couldn’t form the words out to explain why she couldn’t do this with him."What? Tell me,"He said softly.She looked at him, she didn't want to hold back anymore, she wanted him, wanted to feel everything that he was promising with those touches, wanted his hands all over her body, wanted to make love to him and feel him inside her, making her whole but."I am a virgin,"She let out, closing her eyes and waiting for him to mock her but he didn't. Instead, he carried her up and kissed her before dropping her on the bed. He smiled at her, not the response she expected but again, he surprised her a lot."You knew?""Let's say I kind of caught on but I was still in doubt,"She felt her face heat up in embarrassment."Aha, so, the thing is I might be a

"You scared?"He asked softly."No,"She whispered, wanting him to go right ahead."Good,"He dragged her to him, kissing her deeply, lifting her, and dropping her on the bed, properly, pulling her legs apart and letting out a satisfied moan."So good,"She whispered as his hands grazed her thighs, he opened her thighs slip a finger inside her, and caressed her clitoris, his bold shaft nudging against her entrance, she arched her hips and he was inside her, stretching and filling her, she gasped with shock as pain and pleasure shot through her as he moved his length further into her, he stopped and she almost cursed at him, why did he have to stop, she opened her eyes and he was staring down at her."You are so tight, I don't want to hurt you,"He said, and she smiled, the initial pain was gone and she didn't want him to hold himself, she looked at him and saw that he was trying to hold himself so as not to hurt her, she smiled sheepishly and arched her hips again, bring him deeper

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?

"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
