All Chapters of Affair With The Mafia: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

“Calm down, calm down! You just need to take a breath and then let it out slowly using your lips," Rafael wiped Cheryl’s face using a wet cloth—maybe his jacket, or the shirt he was wearing, then tried to make her sit up straight while leaning against a tree."You know what's in the mud? The amoeba and other single-celled creatures must have burrowed into my skin and reproduced and—”"No," Rafael put a finger to her lips, "they won't get under your skin. You are okay!"“I must die, Rafael! I will surely die soon!” Cheryl was crying, howling with a terrified look.Oh God, she just drowned in a muddy swamp. Her head had entered the water when she struggled to open the car door and followed Rafael, who had come out first to help her swim. Unlike Rafael, who was able to adjust to the muddy swamp conditions, Cheryl immediately screamed hysterically so that Rafael was shocked and accidentally released his hold on her shoulder. Her body was detached from Rafael so she immediately drowned, sh

"Are you going to slap me if I kiss you?" Cheryl's head was spinning instantly. Empty. Her mind is blank. Her hands were shaking, but her eyes remained fixed on watching Rafael's face which was right in front of her. Near. He was getting closer. Cheryl knew that Rafael's lips would touch hers in less than two seconds, but she didn't move as if she accepted every closeness he had created. Cold. Cheryl shivered with cold when Rafael's lips pressed against hers, kissing her slowly as if he was deliberately waiting for permission from her. Crazy, Cheryl must be crazy when she opened her lips slowly, giving access to Rafael, who was now moving closer. Tasting the taste, crushing her lips in a sweet movement that relaxes her knees. Cheryl would have fallen over if Rafael's hands hadn't been holding her waist. Her body went limp. Her legs couldn't support their own weight. “Cheryl…” Rafael muttered softly in the kiss they did, “you're cute. Very sweet." Cheryl was getting out of contr

"You want hot dogs?" Rafael asked while pointing at the food truck that was at the end of the road.“Roadside hot dogs? Can you guarantee its cleanliness?” Cheryl squinted, staring at the crowd of people lining up in front of the food truck.“Queen of cleanliness,” Rafael put down the grocery wrap in his hands, and he touched Cheryl's shoulder, making her turn to face him, “I can't guarantee the cleanliness of the food here, but I'm interested in trying it. Would you like to try?"Cheryl rolled her eyes. In all her life, she never thought that she would visit a busy and crowded traditional market. This place is terrible. Hundreds of people walked from side to side, looking for the seller they wanted. Traditional markets sell vegetables, meat, clothing, household appliances, and even fast food."I do not want!" Cheryl crossed her arms over her chest, “food like that isn't guaranteed to be clean. It must also taste awful too.”"Okay, then you just wait here. I want to order the hot dog.

"I don't like to eat fish," Cherryl said."Why?" Rafael asked as he removed the bones from his grilled fish before he reached out to let Cheryl eat from his hand.The nights are getting colder. The air in the middle of autumn always managed to make the bones shiver, but the bonfire in front of her made the air feel warm. Because of that, Cheryl still had no intention of going into the tent even though Alfonso had been sleeping since earlier after he had an argument with Beatrice because she sprayed insect repellent into their tent.Rafael again reached out his hand after he made sure all the spines on the fish he managed to remove, "open your mouth!" he said.Cheryl opened her mouth like a 5-year-old, “delicious!” she closed her eyes, enjoying the grilled fish that Rafael had just cooked."I thought I heard you don't like fish," he sneered.Cheryl took a deep breath. Her memory returned to the incident a few days ago. As far as she can remember when Carlos held a family gathering at a

Cheryl knew that no matter how fast she tried to run from Rafael, he would still catch her. Her feet weren't as fast as Rafael, nor was she used to running in the middle of a dark forest. She repeatedly tripped, lost control, then almost fell. However, she still did not stop running.“Cheryl, stop…” Rafael's voice sounded close to her ear. He didn't give an order, but he begged.Cheryl wiped her tears away, her body shook with fear, and she started to lose her way. However, Cheryl couldn't imagine what would happen if Rafael caught her."Cheryl, I beg you to stop,"Raphael caught her. He locked her in a hug, giving Cheryl no chance to run."Let me go!" Cheryl struggled, trying to break free. However, Rafael's hands hugged her tightly, he repeatedly kissed the top of her head, as if he was trying hard to calm her."Let me go! Who are you?! Why do you want to kill that man?!” Cheryl screamed in frustration. She was crying, wailing in Rafael's arms for fear of him. She was afraid of him
