Natalie's POV

I almost choked with tears while I was driving home. The pain was less than it had been earlier that night, but it still hurt.

How did I do that!? I was the other woman, the woman he was cheating on his fiancée with!

When I heard him talking and lying to her, I realized that we were not going anywhere with this, and it hurt me so badly.

'What were you hoping for, idiot Natalie!?' A sarcastic voice warbled in my head.

I wiped my eyes. It must be that he saw the note now. I have to stand up for myself and never let him use me again.

I got home and went straight up to my room.

After I left the party tonight, I booked into the hotel to be able to stay alone. I didn't want to go back home, so I didn't have to meet him. I was on the verge of cutting all ties with him and even filing for divorce. But, when I found him standing before the hotel room door, and the way he acted like a jealous husband let down my defenses.

Like an idiot, I thought he might have felt special feeling

    Rafael's POV Even though I was so fucking angry with Natalie, I was very worried about her. I don't know why she acted that way. Did I hurt her during the intercourse without me realizing it?Before I left the room, my gaze fell on the small drops of blood on the bed sheet and my heart sank. Maybe I really hurt her.As soon as I arrived at the reception, I saw Jack standing there and his expression was grim. He came once I called him.The receptionist asked, "Sir, how can I help you?"I ordered in a firm tone, “Extend the reservation of Miss Natalie for one week.""Okay sir. Do I keep the reservation under the same name?" He asked."Yes, yes. Do not allow anyone to enter, even the cleaning workers."He stared at me for a second in confusion, then mumbled, “Noted.”Jack asked me while we were going out of the hotel, "What was all this about? And where is she?"I got in Jack's car and replied with frustration, "I don't know, she is gone.""Gone? What happened?" He asked again.I hit th

He whispered in my ear, “You are already starting to get the attention you need, beautiful.” I noticed that the place became quieter and everyone was staring at us with curiosity. “This is making me nervous!” I replied. A young beautiful woman stood before us smiling, approached her hand towards Daniel and mumbled with clear excitement in her voice, “Mr. Morris. It's a pleasure seeing you here in the country” An icy male voice came from behind upheld her, “Yes, Mr. Morris. You didn't introduce yourself well that morning!” Once I heard his voice, I trembled. I looked in the direction of the sound immediately. He was handsome like sin. My eyes met Rafael’s cold, distant gaze. I felt like I was going to fall on the ground. My feet can't carry me. This was the first time we met after our night together.

    If a look could kill, Rafael's terrifying gaze would have killed me. Despite the beauty of his eyes, his gaze was at that moment extremely frightening. I won't lie and say I didn't feel afraid. But I ignored him. Once Daniel let those words out of his mouth, the hall went silent. All that was heard was the hiss of side conversations. Then journalists who were allowed into the hall approached and began peppering us with their questions.Instinctively, I looked towards Rafael. He was frozen. Staring at us plainly. His facial expressions were unreadable.When I asked Daniel to pretend to be my fiancé, I didn't expect that he was a well-known businessman, and I didn't expect this fake engagement to go wild.I just wanted him to say it within Rafael's earshot. It was merely a plan to cut all ties with him.“Look at his face! You should thank me”, Daniel whispered.I felt like things had been out of control. I hissed between my teeth, while smiling at the cameras, “This was not our agreeme

Not after I decided to be stronger.I met his gaze and offered a faint smile, he raised an eyebrow, thinking I agreed with his provocative query. However, while still locked in his stare, I swiftly raised my knee and delivered a forceful blow between his legs.He released my hands and exclaimed painfully, "What the fuck, Natalie?”“You need to be more cautious with your actions around me in the future.” I taunted him, disregarding the voice of sanity and logic urging me to flee.He regained his composure quicker than I anticipated. Tilting his head to the side, he narrowed his eyes and gently grasped my chin between his large fingers, he said, “Something different about you! I wasn't really going to do this right here. I was just teasing you!”I don't know where I found the courage, but I pre

    Natalie's POVI remained in the comforting embrace of the shower's warmth for twenty minutes, thinking about how I should face Rafael and make him agree on the divorce and reach mutual agreement.I wrapped the white towel and stepped out of the shower. I applied moisturizer to my body before putting on my pajamas. As I finished, a WhatsApp notification chimed, revealing a message from Debbie containing a location.I let out a sigh, uncertain of Debbie's intentions. However, I'll tackle it tomorrow and see what she wants.Suddenly, the room door swung open. I turned just to see Rafael standing before me. I raised an eyebrow, ready to speak, but before I could, he cupped my face with his hands and kissed me passionately.I pushed him away and snapped, "Hey!! We agreed to just talk!”"I couldn't control myself!" he said, his hand gently caressing my cheeks.I took a few steps back and sat on the edge of my bed, and grumbled, “Were you careful not to be seen entering my room?

    Natalie’s POV "Oh God!" I exclaimed in a low voice and tugged him by the hand. "Come on! You have to hide," I urged, ushering him towards the bathroom. “I’m coming!” I responded to Tobi, attempting to stall for more time. We stood before the bathroom door, and I pushed him inside. "Stay here until she leaves. Stay quiet," I instructed softly. He was only in his boxers and seemed half asleep. I wasn't sure if he even heard me clearly. Returning to the room, I noticed Rafael's clothes scattered on the floor. Quickly, I bent down and slid them under the bed to keep them out of Tobi's sight. “Natalie? Are you okay? I'm starting to worry!” she mumbled in an anxious tone. "Just a moment, aunty!" I replied, quickly straightening my pajamas and hair before opening the door. Once I opened the door, she looked at me with a concerned expression. "Are you alright, dear? You seem panting!" I slipped my hands into my pajama pockets to conceal the sweat on my palms.

    The burden on my heart felt immensely heavy. I didn't like Debbie from the very first day we met, and I was sure she felt the same. I can remember the first time she came with Rafael for the first visit. She was arrogant and tried to bully me pretending that she was joking.She said that I was lucky that a family like Mirren's accepted a stranger like me into their midst. Even though Rafael intervened and rebuked her and defended me, her words made me sure that once she became a Mirren, she would attempt to exclude me from the family.I was truly anticipating inheriting my legacy and leaving Mirren's villa. It was my first plane after my stepfather passed; I never expected to have a relationship with Rafael.His offer from this morning keeps echoing in my mind. I'm torn about whether to accept it or not, but I'm probably going to refuse.What if his interest in me is purely driven by desire? He never expressed love or even liking for me.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
