Rafael’s POV

I stared at her face, feeling satisfied by the expression I saw.

Shock was written all over her face when my guards forced her three men to their knees. I pulled the phone from my pocket and turned off the recording.

She blinked several times as she glared at the three men before her, speechless and unable to do anything but blink at them as if she were seeing ghosts.

“What’s going on here?” she shouted, staring at me as she tried to pull her hair from my grip.

“Aren’t these your men? The ones who do the dirty work for you?” I said in a flat tone, tightening my grip on her hair. I wished she was a man so I could smash her fucking face.

Her face turned as pale as a sheet, then reddened with anger as she growled, “I don't know any of them!”

I laughed, a joyless sound. "Didn't you just recommend Jevani to me a moment ago?" I roared, then pushed her away. She stumbled but regained her balance by grabbing the arm of a chair.

"You!" she exclaimed, pointing her finger at me. "Di

She was, and it's obvious she didn't trust you enough to tell you!"I couldn't control myself; I had the urge to kill that snake standing before me. Without a second thought, I attacked her. I placed my hands on her neck, trying to strangle her. She had pushed me to the utmost degree, provoking the bitterness within me."Ek... Emm," she coughed and stammered, trying to breathe. Her eyes rolled back, and her face turned red.Jack, Mechenzi, and the officer were desperately trying to free her from my tightening grip."Don't, Mr. Merrin. Let the law handle this. Don't dirty your hands," the officer said."Rafael, please. Let the officer handle this!" Jack pleaded.I tightened my grip on her neck even more and roared, "How could you ask me this?

    Natalie's POV Seven months later…“Hun, are you ready?” Lucas shouted from the living room.“Coming!” I shouted back.I stared at my reflection in the mirror with admiration. The haircut and the makeup were amazing; I could barely recognize myself.I turned to the hairdresser with a broad, happy smile. "Thank you! I love it.”"I'm happy you do," Isabella, the hairdresser, replied with a smile.Once I entered the living room, Lucas whistled admiringly and mumbled, “Wow, you look amazing!” "Thank you!" I smiled and walked past him to grab my purse, which was on the sofa."Ugh..." I moaned as I bent down. I felt a strong kick from inside. My stomach had been growing bigger these last few weeks, and my child's kicks were getting stronger.Lucas ran towards me, grabbed my waist, and exclaimed, “What’s wrong?”I gently pushed him away and teased him with a smile, "No need to panic over every 'ouch' I utter, Lucas!

    Rafael’s POVFinally, after months of searching, I found Natalie by accident. She was in France, just as I had suspected.Seven months ago, when I discovered her pregnancy and subsequent miscarriage, I tracked her mobile phone signal to some rocks under a cliff. Initially, I was devastated, fearing she might have committed suicide. I descended the cliff myself, searching for her body. It was an incredibly difficult time, and I felt like I was losing my mind.After five hours of searching with expert divers, I received a call from airport authorities informing me that Natalie had taken a private plane to France. I was shocked. I felt a mix of emotions: relief that she was alive and anger at why she would go to France with Daniel. But she was like a solved puzzle; no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find a trace of her.I even met with Daniel several times. He denied seeing her after they arrived in France, claiming he was just doing a favor for a friend. I didn't believe him. Determ

    Daniel’s POV“No way in hell!” Lucas panicked.“It’s just for a couple of hours, Lucas. Just stand beside her and pretend to be her fiancé!” I tried to convince him.“You said the man is her husband. How on earth can I stand before him and claim her as my fiancée? I’m not going to do it, and let me out of here,” he argued. I understood his point, but I didn’t have another solution. I had to complete my plan.“Be a man, Lucas!” I shouted at him. “Listen, he can’t do anything to you. He’s just a normal guy. Maybe he has influence and power, but don’t forget who we are!” I stated calmly, trying to manipulate him, as I knew for sure that Rafael wouldn’t let the matter go easily.“No means no. I’m not going to do such a perverse thing! She’s my sister, for God’s sake!” he shouted.“She’s your cousin!” I corrected.“What’s the difference? She’s still my sister!” he exclaimed.“You know, in other cultures, a man can marry his cousin,” I said.He raised an eyebrow, crossed his arms, and scoff

I didn’t know she had that effect on me.They walked side by side through the guests. She was smiling and chatting happily. There was something different about her, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it.When our eyes met for the first time, there was nothing in them—no longing, no fear, nothing. Even the shock I had seen in them when she saw me at the show house was gone.She kept laughing and chatting for ten minutes from the moment she entered, not sparing me another glance.She was stunning. Her face was more radiant. Did she cut her hair? It looked somehow different. Her curves had grown more seductive.And her belly...Now, fifteen minutes had passed since she walked in, and she still hadn’t looked at me. As if I didn’t exist.I couldn’t take it any longer

What the hell?“Stop!” I repeated as he kept walking towards me.He hesitated for a second, then without further hesitation, he hugged me. I stood frozen in place. I couldn’t describe my feelings, but one thing I knew was that I didn’t feel anything. There was no heat, no trembling, no butterflies, and no longing.I was truly released from him. From his control over me.My hand flew through the air, landing on his cheek with a loud slap.“I told you to stop!” I mumbled furiously.“Why didn’t you tell me you were pregnant back then?” he asked after regaining his composure and putting his hands into his pockets. I could see the tension in his actions.But did he deserve my pity? My concern? Of course not.I was in so much pain when I lost one of the babies. I hoped he would search for me, for our other child.

So, were they twins, or did you never have an abortion in the first place?”I gritted my teeth and said, “First of all, I don’t have to explain anything to you.

But the one thing that captured his attention, the one image that filled his heart and eyes with overwhelming joy, was me. I stood in the center of the room, holding Matt in my arms, wearing a stunning white dress—a wedding dress.Rafael’s eyes widened in shock and disbelief, and then tears of happiness welled up. His expression mirrored my own overwhelming emotions. I remembered the days when I loved him secretly, the painful nights I spent yearning for his touch.

The taxi stopped a few blocks away, and I paid the driver, telling him to wait. I couldn’t risk Debbie spotting the car.I walked the rest of the way, my senses on high alert. Every sound, every shadow made my heart race. Finally, I reached the address Debbie had sent. It was an old, abandoned warehouse, the kind of place that sent shivers down your spine just by looking at it.I wiped a tear ran down my cheek, and with taking a deep breath, I stepped inside. The air was musty, and the only light came from the gaps in the boarded-up windows. My footsteps echoed eerily as I walked further into the building.My heart bounded with anticipation, finally I would see my little boy. How did she manage to feed him?

Maya, Daniel, Lucas, their mother and father, and even our granny. They all looked worried, their presence both comforting and overwhelming.As I stared at them, I was shocked. It was the last person to step forward who shocked me the most. My real father. He stood there, looking healthier and stronger than I remembered, and there was a softness in his eyes that I hadn’t seen the last time I visited him. For a moment, I couldn’t move, couldn’t speak. It was as if time had stopped, and all I could do was stare at him.“Hey guys, you came!” Rafael cut the silence with a surprised tone."Nat," Maya said softly, stepping forward and wrapping her arms around me. "We're here for you."Everybody stepped inside and started hugging me except one person, my father.However, he stood there puzzled for a moment then said softly in a whisper, “Natalie,” his voice th

    Natalie’s POVThe long night passed in a haze of dread and exhaustion. I couldn’t sleep; every time I closed my eyes, I saw Matt’s face, heard his cries. The darkness outside the window was a mirror to the darkness inside me, a suffocating blanket that left me gasping for breath. I paced the room, my steps slow and heavy, my mind replaying the events of the day over and over again.Rafael had been gone for hours, searching desperately for any clue that might lead us to our son. The silence of the house was oppressive, broken only by the occasional creak of the floorboards or the distant hum of traffic outside. The waiting was unbearable, each minute stretching into an eternity. I could feel the panic rising within me, threatening to consume me whole.I moved from room to room, my body restless, my mind tormented by the unknown. I went into Matt's room and sat on his bed, clutching his favorite stuffed animal, inhaling the faint scent of him still lingering in the fabric. Memories of h

    Natalie’s POVSix hours had passed, and still, no news about Matt. My heart tightened with each minute that dragged by, constricting so tightly that I could barely breathe. The silence was suffocating, every second stretching into an eternity. I couldn’t imagine what Debbie might be doing to my little boy. Rafael had been updating me frequently with whatever scraps of information he could gather, but the constant fear gnawed at me, an ever-present shadow that made me feel as if I might crumble at any moment.“No news?” Tobi asked gently as she handed me a cup of coffee. Her voice was soft, but the concern in her eyes was palpable. I shook my head, unable to find any words that could convey the depth of my fear. Nothing was clear. Debbie was careful—she’d even managed to avoid the street cameras.The waiting was unbearable. My mind started to spiral, conjuring horrific images of my son’s screams, trapped in my head like an endless loop of terror. It was dark outside now, the evening s

    The room spun around me, and I had to grip the back of the chair to steady myself when Natalie told me that Matt had been kidnapped.“Matt is kidnapped,” her words echoed endlessly in my mind.“Matt is gone, Raf! You have to bring my son back to me!” she wailed through the phone, her words barely understandable through her loud sobs.Every passing minute was crucial, every second a potential danger. The guilt was overwhelming. Was I the reason danger had found my family? Why did I ever get engaged to that witch in the first place?Documents and everything else on my desk scattered to the floor as I shoved the table over in a fit of rage and frustration. The chaos mirrored the turmoil inside me.The office door swung open, and Jack and several employees rushed in. “What’s going on?” Jack asked, staring around the wrecked room in shock.“She kidnapped Matt!” I roared, my voice raw with desperation.Earlier that afternoon, I had received a call from the main city police station warning m

The sun hung low in the sky, casting a golden glow over the bustling streets, a stark contrast to my serene thoughts.It had been three months since we returned to the USA, and I had already launched my new fashion design company. My heart swelled with happiness at the thought. Living with my husband and our nearly four-month-old son was a dream come true, and every day felt like a step closer to my ambitions as a fashion designer.I couldn't help but smile as I imagined Rafael at home, sitting beside Matt’s crib, watching him sleep or feeding him his bottle. The mere thought of our little family filled me with warmth.My phone rang, jolting me from my reverie.

He’s a spitting image of the charming Lucas, which is me,” Lucas mumbled, bending down to get a closer look at my child.“Move away!” Rafael snapped, shoving Lucas aside. “Don’t touch him. He’s still weak and could get infected easily!”I stifled a chuckle. Rafael’s overprotectiveness was one of his most endearing traits.“Hey, man! What’s wrong with you? I was just trying to see the boy! Don’t tell me you’re one of those overprotective fathers!” Lucas teased, prompting laughter from everyone in the room.I felt a wave of gratitude wash over me.
