Veronica----Veronica rolled her eyes at the two men, in front of her. One was in the driver's seat and the other was in the front passenger seat. To be precise they were her bodyguards. She had made it clear she needed no bodyguards-she called them babysitters. However, her mother had ignored her and sent two men to pick her up, they were at the airport waiting, even before her plane landed.Well, it was typical of Mrs Wayne, her mom. She should have expected it but it still angered her that her mom would send the two men after she had refused it. According to her mom, it was no big deal, yet she feels like her freedom has been stolen from her."Hm-hmm!" Veronica cleared her throat, and as expected the guard next to the driver turned to her. "Are you ok, miss?""Of course I am, I couldn't be more ok. Are we still far from home?""No, just a couple minutes away, won't be long now," he answered and turned back to the front just as Veronica gave him a nod. Veronica turned to peer ou
Veronica-----"Welcome back Veronica," He said and I gasped puzzled. How did he get here? No what is he doing here?He should be with Vickie, he should be anywhere but near me. Seriously Veronica, one moment I was jealous because he was with Vickie and now I am almost panicking that he is here with me."That wasn't the face I was expecting when I planned this, I thought you will be excited as always. Smiling beautifully like you always did, but has that changed now? Since you left, how many years has it been now" He chuckled and took a step closer to me."Rafael" I called stopping him from moving forward. "You should leave, you shouldn't be here""Is that so?" He questioned, acting clueless as he placed his finger on that beautiful lips, I want to kiss them till am out of breath.'Shit, what exactly am I thinking?'Rafael chuckled as if he could see right through me. Or maybe I wish he could, to see all my thoughts to know much I need and want him even though I can't accept it."Tell
Veronica-----When I left years ago, my family thought I left for different reasons. Vickie thought I wanted a change, Victor didn't really care, my father assumed my departure to another place was an act of rebelling against him.No one really understand why I left, because no one cares to see what I was going through, not that I blame then. But I will be lying if I say I didn't hate them for a while, only my mom knew the reason I left.To protect Vickie, to make my dad happy even if he had no idea, and to Victor I wanted to be a sister he will proud of. I don't want him to hate me, knowing that I took Vickie happiness from her.But in order to do those, I hurt Rafael, I could have stayed and decided to do just as we planned but I didn't. I was a coward and care too much about my sister.I hurt him and now he is here to do the same."Own me" I questioned as my feet became weak under his presence."You heard me, Veronica. And am not asking for your opinion on this, it either you compl
Rafael----I tap on my desk, my attention hardly on my work, and my eyes fixed on my phone. It is past noon, which means it is past the deadline I gave to Veronica. She hasn't called me, and it is getting me pissed. If she thinks I wasy serious about my threat, then she should have thought this twice.If you don't call me, am going..... My phone rings, and without looking at the caller. I picked up the call "Hello?.""Hello??? You didn't check the caller before picking it, are you that desperate for her call" Connor with an arrogant scowl."Bastard" I hissed while he laughed. "Why are you calling?""For this reaction, I guess. I should have called earlier, had I known. She hasn't called you yet?" He asked and I sighed. Connor is the only one out of my friends, that I told about Veronica's return. He is my best friend and one of the people I trusted enough to tell about the messed-up things I can't even inform my parents.That is because he is just as messed up as me."No, she didn't
Veronica----"He is amazing, isn't he? He runs his father's company, despite having his own company. I heard that his friends and he built it from the trash, and it grows to be one of the biggest companies, in Wolfsburg, Crete Greece, Bloemendaal Netherlands, California and New York. He manages the one in New York along with his father's company, isn't he so amazing?" Ryan asked, looking at Rafael with admiration."Oh, my bad, am a huge fan of him and his friends, shall we?" He suggested and I nod, he lead me to our table and I took a glance at Rafael.Punishment? What does he mean?'"I love the Italian food here, one of Mr Rafael's friends Mr Kai aunty owns this place. Their food is amazing, so let me order for both of us, I am positive you will enjoy it" He speaks confidently bringing me back from my thought and I shake my head in agreement.Truthfully, I don't care about this date of a thing. No insult to Ryan, he has been nice but my mind is on all Rafael, even though I shouldn't
Rafael------I turned Veronica to me, waiting for her answer. For her to say yes, to make me ease her from all this, I know she want me, I could feel it. Her body heat, her eyes, they burn with desires and knowing they burn for me too, makes me damn hard for Veronica.I need her badly, more than badly. If only she could see how much I need her.I almost went crazy, seeing her with Mr Myers earlier, especially when she entered with that dress, if only she knew the story behind that dress.She thinks I brought the dress because I want to make things work between Vickie and me but she is so wrong.I never wanted Vickie and I still won't. If it isn't Veronica that will warm my bed, then no other woman will.I might not love her like I used to, but I want her, am crazy for her.She seems to be lost in thought, so I get on my knees and stared up at her. I raised my finger to her thighs and traced it up to her clit, she gasped immediately and looked down at me."Rafael" She called while I ru
RafaelThere were times when I just wanted this crazy world to end. I wanted doom on earth, to end my own life because I was broken, and couldn't be healed.But I met Veronica, the opposite of me, cheerful, happy, precious unlike me and fell in love with her, she was my junior in high school and seeing how she related with everyone and made them laugh makes me want her because I thought she could heal me.oTurned that sad lonely boy into someone happy, and made me feel and belong. It wasn't that I was lonely I have friends but they were just like me. Unhappy, maybe not that broken like me, but we all had our darkest secrets and pain we couldn't let out.For Connor, it was his mother who hurt him, and his wife who healed him.For Brat, he was an orphan raised by the horrible people on earth.To Kai, it was his abusive dad but lucky because he had his aunty to love him and his sister. Jude, well he doesn't talk to anyone about his sh*t, but we all know he is fvcked up just like us.And
Veronica----It's been a week since I came back from Vegas, and things haven't been good with my father, ever since that night, we hardly talk to each other. We eat breakfast together, lunch, and dinner and that is all and my mom has been complaining about us.None of us cares, and Vickie has been acting strangely since the night she went to Rafael's place. I could tell that something is wrong but she doesn't want to talk about it.Victor has been busy with his studies, and I am here in my room alone. I have nowhere to go, and all I do is talk to Natasha, but she is also busy and serious about her wedding planning stuffs.I can't even go look for a job, because my dad wants me to do nothing. Not like I ever listened to him, but I just want to be alone for now.A knock booms through the room unexpectedly, and a tiny shriek passes my lips.I stood up from my bed, walked to the door and opened it. I was surprised to see Vickie in front of me."Hey, little sis" "Hi, I wasn't expecting to
RafaelMy head hurts waking up, the next morning, I looked around my surroundings and realized am not in my place or room. It looks like Connor's old room, he must have brought me here.I groaned when I stand up from his old bed and woke out of this room. I could hear some voice downstairs, so I head there."You are awake?" Alicia said with a big smile on her face, she was setting the dining table with Veronica.She put down the place in her hand and walk to me, "How are you feeling?" She questioned, checking my body.I looked at Veronica, my eyes met her beautiful green eyes and I smiled, but she looked away.That is weird."What is weird? Me caring for you?" Alicia asked which made me realized I said that loud."Of course not, am fine, I don't want Connor to see us like this, he will kill me""Tsk" Alicia smiled and slapped my shoulder playfully."I will go back to the kitchen, you and Veronica set up the table. Connor and Jude are out jogging, Brad left this morning, and Kai well I
It "How is he doing?" I asked Connor and Jude after they come out of Connor's old room, after assuring that Rafael is asleep."Better, he just needs to rest and he will be fine" Connor answered and I nodded."Why don't you also have a sleep, you look tired" Alicia suggested behind me and put her hand on my shoulder."No, I am okay. I will sleep when am sure he is fine"Alicia nodded and removed her hand from my shoulder "Just take it easy, he will be fine here. His uncle won't be able to find him here"I looked at her surprised, "You know?"She chuckled and went to stand by Connor who wrapped his hand around her waist, protectively. "Rafael is like a brother, my family, I suspected but today confirmed my suspicions, and this stubborn man here won't talk me anything," she said referring to Connor who groaned and I smiled.It is so obvious that the two love each other and it makes me happy and also jealous.If I had stayed, Rafael and I will have been like this. Married, and happy, the
Vickie---I gritted my teeth, as I watched Veronica walk away. Everything she said was upsetting, and what is even more annoying, was her acting protective over Rafael.Like she has a claim on him, it is cynical. I have never seen Veronica angrier than she was, some minutes. The way she looked at Stone was like she will harm him if he come any closer.She protects Rafael, even though I have never seen them together or known that they were close. She knows about my fiance more than I do, and will it be weird to say she cares for him too?No, I shouldn't be suspecting my sister or Rafael. They might be friends, yet never acted like one.I have never seen them interact before, so what exactly is between them? What does Veronica know about Rafael and his uncle that I don't?Thinking about Rafael makes me feel guilty, he looks like he is having a panic attack. Did I bring his worst nightmare to him?The way he called Veronica when Connor was taking him away makes me jealous.He called her
I raised my chin as I sip down my wine, staring at Rafael and Vickie, they are with some couples, probably talking about business.Rafael and I locked eyes, many times but he looked away every time. Avoiding my gaze and with the smirk on his face, I could tell it was intentional.He knows I am wet for him and he is doing it to torment me, "bastard" I chuckled."Veronica" Someone called behind me and I turned to see the person, but I rolled my eyes when I saw Luca."What?" I asked harshly, not caring how cold my voice sounded. How could he agree to a marriage without my permission, I don't know what he is thinking but I will never marry him.I don't care about his words or the promise his mom and mine made, I won't marry him."Veronica, I know not consulting your opinion was wrong but this was bound to happen. My mom likes you, and your mom wants this marriage too, it will benefit both parties....""I was hoping you won't be a jerk more than this, but I was wrong. I don't know what you
VERONICA----"I think it is too late, they are here already. What should I do?""Fvck, I don't know. Hide, you can hide in my room, I will be there in a few seconds" He said and hang up I could hear Vickie and Rebecca, closer to the house, so I quickly ran to his room, but the moment I closed the door, Vickie and his mother were inside."Did you hear that?" Rebecca asked while I smack my forehead, knowing my plan failed."I did, do you think someone is inside? Could it be Rafael?" "No, I don't think it is him. He called me some minutes ago and asked if I was at home because he is on his way. There is no way it is him, what if it is burglary?""We should check" Vickie said this time, and I hear her footsteps become closer and my heart beating fast, she stopped when she is near the door.She was about to open the door when Rafael entered the house, panting heavily."Son""Rafael" Vickie called and released the doorknob and ran to him."Did you know how worried, we are? You weren't at
Rafael The smell of burning food swept in my nose, which made me put down my phone on the bed and walked out of the room, I was in. I noticed the smell was coming from the kitchen, so I went straight to the kitchen, only to find Veronica trying to put out the fire with the fire extinguisher in her hands. She sighed when she was done, and turn around but was shocked to see me at the doorstep. "Rafael..." She chuckled and scratched her neck while I gave her a weird look, she looks cute right now. "You almost burn the whole kitchen" I exhaled with a cough while she gave me a sorry look, holding back her cough. "Come out," I said and she followed me out of the kitchen, I close the door immediately after she is out. I looked at her for an explanation, and she lowered her eyes. "I want to cook something for you,...." She stopped and her eyes went to the kitchen door. "Ah, and here I thought you intentionally want to burn me alive" I joked and she rolled her eyes, hitting me on my ar
Vickie----I parked my car in the underground parking lot of Rafael's apartment and got out of the car. Today will make it three days since I heard from him, no calls, no messages, and he hasn't even come to work.It is so strange and cruel of him, even if something is wrong. He could at least message me, I have been patient, but not anymore. Someone is going to have to tell me something, am not heading into the penthouse because I know Rafael isn't there.Connor and Kai are going to give me something because am not going anywhere I know I don't stand a chance, but am not backing down."Vickie" I heard a voice behind me and I turned to the people, and my heart skipped a beat staring at Brad. I could feel my legs shaking when he reached me, could smell his sweet scent with a heavy emphasis on the base notes of the fragrance, manly and sinfully, his sleepy eyes locked on mine, before he looked down, scanning my whole body.He groaned and bit his full lips, while I watched and licked mi
Veronica----This morning's breakfast was awkwardly silent, no one said anything except for the fork and knifes hitting the plate and Vickie tapping the table with her finger as she stared at her phone.I could tell she was getting on my dad's nerves, but my big sis had no idea which made me smile. She seems so worried and serious, and it makes her look so sexy. I am also worried, Rafael hasn't called me since that night and it has been two days which is strange.I tried reaching out but it is switched off, it is unlike him and I can't help but think he stopped calling because he is tired of me.Maybe he finally realized how stupid our relationship is and decided to end it. And maybe it is the best thing, no more fear of getting caught.It is perfect. Who I am kidding? If he decided to end things, I will be broken. And he doesn't have to switch off his phone because he is ignoring me."Vickie, you might want to mind that. It makes me uncomfortable" My dad said and Vickie put on a smi
Veronica---"What sacrifice did Veronica make for me? What is going on?" Vickie asked and both my mom and I freeze, when did she get here? and most especially how much she hears.Is everything finally out? Did she know about Rafael and me? How bad can tonight get?"Mom" She faced our mother, waiting for her reply, I stared at Rafael and he shakes his head. What was that for? Does it mean Vickie doesn't know or I shouldn't tell more lies?Whatever it is, I could tell it isn't good. Should I just tell Vickie everything, and confess to her, will that be ok?"Darling," My mom said and walked closer to her, as she placed her palm under her cheeks, caressing her face."It is nothing, what did you think your sister and I are talking about?" This is a trick, for Mom to know how much Vickie knows. Why didn't I see it? How manipulative she was? I thought Dad was the worst, but my mom is no good either.She manipulate me into leaving, claiming it was for Vickie. A small sacrifice to make Vickie
