46. Feelings This chapter is dedicated to NICOLETA8905. Thankyou for your support. Astrid's POV: I awoke thirsty, and as soon as I opened my eyes, I was greeted by the most breathtaking sight imaginable. Rafael's warm breath brushed against my forehead as he held me close, as if his life depended on it. His mouth was slightly open, and I chuckled at how cute he was sleeping. Despite the world's turmoil, he seemed carefree, almost childlike—a stark contrast to his authoritative demeanor when directing others to protect Eva and me. I tried hard not to wake him up by turning around to check the time, but I had no idea what hour it was. We've been sleeping for how long? As I twisted, Rafael groaned, bringing me closer to him until I was literally lying on top of him. He had a firm grip on my waist. He nestled into my hair, put his head on my neck, and returned to sleep. An inexplicable churn in my gut overwhelmed me. God, he had a powerful effect on me. Despite our circumstances, I f

49. Clue This chapter is dedicated to Katrina Meyers. Thank you for your support ❤ Rafael's POV: I felt a surge of anger within me as I witnessed that jerk lay a hand on Astrid. The instinct to protect her coursed through my veins, and the urge to confront him almost overwhelmed me. Yet, a sense of satisfaction crept in as Astrid, in her own way, stood up for herself and taught him a lesson. My frustration spilled out, and I began to blabber about the emotions I had long buried. Before I could comprehend what was happening, Astrid abruptly silenced me with a kiss, and it was the best feeling. Something shook within me, and before I could realize what was going on, she drew away from me. The floodgate of emotions I had suppressed resurfaced, and I found myself backing her against the wall, holding her cheeks, and pouring all those feelings into that kiss. When Astrid answered with equal zeal, I felt encouraged, but our moment was cut short when Astrid pushed lightly and looked beh

79. Forgiveness and Leaving BehindAstrid's POV:"I didn't do anything; it was them," Cindy remarked, pointing to my stomach as my family entered the room. "Oh," Cindy murmured, pulling her fingers back.I scowled and stared at them. "What exactly are they doing here?" I directed my question toward Rafael."Astrid, we really regret anything we did. We can't even express how horrible we feel." I signaled with my hand for them to come to a halt and asked Rafael again.""'What are they doing here, Rafael, and why aren't you doing anything?' I said." "You shouldn't have allowed them to come in here in the first place," I told him."Come with me, Little Dove." He took my hand and led me into a room next to ours. He shut the door to give us the solitude we required."I know you are mad at me, but you don't know a few things that I do. To be honest, I was the one who determined they didn't deserve to live, but you have to listen to me out, and I'll leave it up to you. We'll do whatever you t
