All Chapters of Hopelessly Devoted: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Raphael and I met at the unexpected event, it was our village's festival and many were preparing to celebrate one of the most special occasions. I am currently serving as a maid in the Montenegro's family. But often that rich family doesn't stay here because they are too busy running their businesses in different places. The Montenegro's couple rarely comes here, sometimes only Don Markus visits the mansion and sometimes his wife, Madam Gloria. That couple is kind and generous, that's why no wonder why they were blessed with many beautiful things in life. But in my more than ten years of serving them as a maid, I have never seen and met the two male heirs of their properties. I hear a lot that they are currently living in another country and that they have completed their studies there as well. As far as I know from the old servants who are with me here at the hacienda, the eldest son of Don Markus and Madam Gloria, Sir Raphael, is the same age as me. But none of them have seen the ap

Since then, Raphael and I have become close friends and I have also introduced him to Betty. But I didn't expect our friendship to go deeper to more than just friends.“I want you, Delilah. I know you want me too, don't you?” that was the first time he confessed to me and because that was also my first love, I was unable to refuse him, or I was unable to hide from him my true feelings for him. It feels good to be in love, especially when you probably also want to be with the person you've only been dreaming about. It's as if my life has suddenly become colorful, there's always a smile on my face, it's like I'm stepping on clouds and a romantic song is whispering in my ears. However, I kept our relationship a secret from Betty. Even we don't know each other very well, or whatever his true personality is, I will accept him because I love him that much. I have no idea about his background, as well as about his past and even his family, I just know that he is the man I want to be with unt

The Montenegro's family stayed only two days in that hacienda. I was just standing outside the mansion as I watched Raphael's back leaving there. I felt a pinch in my heart as I stared at him. Furthermore, I was swallowed deeply because I could feel my tears flowing at any time. I clenched my two fists and could still feel the anger from it in my heart. Likewise, I would rather not talk to him and I would rather not see his presence again. But I want to ask him why he did that to me? Why did he cheat on me, and why did he hide from me his true personality that he was an heir of Montenegro? And most of all, I would like to know from him if he really loved me or does he just feel bored that time?Because of what happened and what I discovered, I hid my pregnancy. I had no intention of telling him about it. I also have no plans to introduce him to my child as his father. Furthermore, I will insist that he will not recognize and get the Montenegro. After that day, I never saw Raphael aga

As the sun set, we prepared dinner for the Montenegro family again. While others were busy setting the table, I prepared the silverware and plates they would use. Just a few moments later, the family came down the long staircase. But I immediately noticed that Raphael was not with them. Claus looked at me, but I just bowed my head."Where's Raphael?" his father asked."I went to his room earlier and talked to him. He said he didn't feel like eating dinner. Maybe he wants to rest or maybe his head is hurting again," his mother replied. I felt worried about what I heard. Is he okay? I felt like going to his room and giving him medicine so his headache would go away. But I knew I had no right to do that."He's been having headaches for days. Hasn't he recovered yet from his accident?" his father asked, and I felt a shiver run down my spine. I frowned, wondering if what I heard was true."The doctor said it's normal for him to feel severe headaches because of the serious injury he sustain

As I left Raphael's room, I couldn't shake off the feeling that I was being watched. I glanced over my shoulder, but he was already busy with his phone, his eyes fixed on the screen. I made my way back to the kitchen, my mind racing with thoughts. What was Raphael's game? Was he really just trying to get to know me better, or was there something more sinister at play? As I entered the kitchen, I found Betty busy preparing dinner. She looked up at me and smiled. "Hey, how was your meeting with Sir?" I hesitated, unsure of how much to reveal. "It was fine," I said finally. "He just wanted to teach me how to use the walkie-talkie." Betty's eyes sparkled with curiosity. "And? Did you learn anything new?" I shook my head. "Not really. Just the basics." Betty nodded, seeming to accept my explanation. But as I turned to leave, I caught her watching me with a thoughtful expression. I wondered if she suspected something, if she knew more about Raphael's plans than she was letting on. Bu
