All Chapters of Hopelessly Devoted: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

As the days turned into weeks, and the weeks turned into months, I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of longing for Raphael. I missed him terribly, and the pain of his absence was like a constant ache in my heart.But despite my feelings, I didn't see him anymore. He didn't come to visit me, and I didn't hear from him. It was as if he had vanished from my life, leaving me with only memories of our time together.I tried to fill the void by keeping busy, but it was hard to shake off the feeling of emptiness. I felt like a part of me was missing, and I didn't know how to get it back.One day, as I was eating lunch in the cafeteria, the TV suddenly turned on, and everyone's attention was drawn to the screen. But I was too caught up in my own thoughts to notice, and I continued eating silently.It wasn't until I heard the news anchor mention Raphael's name that I looked up. "Raphael Montenegro, the wealthy businessman, has finally tied the knot with his long-time fiancée, Riezel, the da

As I walked back to my cell, my mind was racing with thoughts about my conversation with Claus. I couldn't believe what he had proposed - marrying his father in exchange for his help in taking revenge on Riezel and Raphael.I sat down on my bed, staring blankly at the wall as I tried to process everything. A part of me was tempted by the offer - the thought of finally getting revenge on those who had wronged me was tantalizing. But another part of me was horrified by the idea of marrying a man I didn't love, and potentially harming his mother in the process.I thought about Claus's words, about how he would do whatever it took to make sure I was happy. But at what cost? I didn't know if I could trust him, or if he was just using me for his own gain.As I sat there, lost in thought, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was being pulled into a web of deceit and manipulation. But at the same time, I couldn't deny the sense of hope that Claus's proposal had given me. For the first time in

As the airplane soared through the sky, I sat beside Claus, who was sleeping soundly. I, on the other hand, was wide awake, my mind racing with thoughts and emotions.This was my first time on an airplane, and I couldn't believe how surreal it felt. I looked out the window, watching as the clouds drifted by, like cotton candy tufts carried by the wind.I felt a sense of wonder and excitement, mixed with a dash of fear. What lay ahead? What would my new life be like? Would I be able to leave my past behind and start anew?As I pondered these questions, I couldn't help but think about Claus. Why was he doing this for me? What did he hope to gain from helping me escape my past?I glanced over at him, watching as he slept peacefully. He looked so calm, so serene. I, on the other hand, felt like a tangled mess of emotions.As the plane hit turbulence, I felt a jolt of fear. But Claus's hand instinctively reached out, grasping mine in a reassuring grip."It's okay," he murmured, his eyes st

As we glided through the streets of Rio, I suddenly spotted a rented bicycle parked by the side of the road. It was a bright blue bike with a wicker basket attached to the front, and it looked like the perfect way to explore the city.I couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement, and I leaned forward to tap on the glass partition that separated us from the driver. "Stop the car!" I exclaimed.Claus looked at me in confusion. "What's wrong?" he asked.I didn't answer him. Instead, I flung open the door and jumped out of the limousine, hurrying over to the bicycle.Claus followed me, his expression bewildered. "Delilah, what are you doing?" he asked. "We have a limousine. Why do you need to ride a bike?"I didn't look at him. Instead, I turned to the man who was renting out the bicycles and asked him how much it would cost to rent one.Claus's eyes widened in shock. "Delilah, you can't be serious," he said. "We're in the middle of a trip. We don't have time for this."But I just looke

After my transformation into Ava, Claus and I sat down to discuss my future plans. He had been instrumental in helping me start anew, and I was grateful for his guidance and support."Ava, I think it's time for you to start thinking about your future," Claus said, his eyes serious. "You've got a new identity, a new face, and a new life. What do you want to do with it?"I thought for a moment, considering my options. I had always been interested in business, but I had never had the opportunity to pursue it."I want to learn how to run a business," I said finally, my voice firm. "I want to be able to take care of myself, to be independent."Claus nodded, a smile spreading across his face. "That's a great goal, Ava," he said. "And I think I can help you achieve it."He pulled out a brochure from his pocket and handed it to me. It was from a prestigious university, one that was known for its business program."I've already enrolled you in the university's business program," Claus said, hi
