"Your mom called me last night. She told me you weren't home so she assumed you stayed here." He said in his baritone voice.
We're inside his room. If I was enjoying my stay here before, now I don't anymore 'cause I remember every single detail happened in this room. From my very first time to step in and the last time I got here.
I remained quite instead of talking nonsense towards him. I believe he knows me better than anyone could. He knows when I'm mad, he knows when I'm happy to be with him.
"Raphaela-" he called out with his warning voice.
"I want to go home." I cut him off in my cold voice and tears pooled over my eyes.
I still remember what had happened last night. In front of everyone, he told Ria he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her, so as the girl to him.
And yes, they all made me realize how awful I was... how desperate to own Royal's heart. He made

Babysitting Raphaela Chapter 19
I just realized that in order to get rid from any heartaches, you should know how to remote yourself from people who have the potential in breaking you down. You should know how to place yourself. Know your limitations, know your worth from people you care too much. Just because you love them, it doesn't mean you'll allow them to oppress you. It doesn't mean you will forever do things according to their will and satisfactions. That's what I have learned from my experiences. I may not be the best person anyone had met, but I know I tried my best to prove to them that I'm worth having for. But maybe it wasn't good enough, I'm still not enough 'cause in the first place, I'm not the right person they've been looking for. For my first year in Italy, I learned how to value myself. And I have realized that maybe the reason why they can't treasure me is because I don't even know how to value myself. I learned that you live not to impress but to

"So, tell me about your story." He started, propping his left elbow on the table while his right hand is holding a cup of tea."What story?" I furrowed my brows and copied his position.He chortled softly as he placed his cup on the table."You're always like that." He commented between a laugh. "I haven't heard about you for awhile. Care to tell me a story?"We're inside a coffee shop, taking some good times for ourselves. It's been awhile since the last time I saw him. Right after we graduated, he took the chance of running his dad's corporation while I gave myself enough time to ponder. I have traveled the rest of Italy to get some inspirations of my masterpiece."It's boring. You know my life isn't adventurous." I rolled my eyes in torpor while he chuckled at my response."Really? But you traveled the rest of Italy. What can you say about it?"I grimac

"Take care, Alpha." Grandma said as she held my shoulder."I will, la." I smiled bitterly. "I'm gonna miss you."We're now in the private airport of De Luca Corporation. Their private plane is waiting for us. Harffiel, in the other hand, stood beside me."I'm gonna miss you too, sweetheart." She said heartily then turned to Harffiel. "Do take care of my grandchild, alright?""La," I whined like a baby but she just chuckled at my reaction."I will, Mrs. Marcos." Harffiel said with his sexy deep voice."Good." Grandma nodded then turned to me. "Enjoy your stay there, alright?""I'm not staying, la." I announced. "I will just visit mom. It's been awhile since the last time I saw her.""I know. But who knows you'll love to stay there, right?""No way." I rolled my eyes. "Anyway, we have to go so soon, la.

"I-It's you... Alpha." He mentioned the obvious and I looked away from him. I turned to mom who's lying sick on her bed."Mom." I called out in a whisper and walked towards her. "Is she okay?" I asked him while checking mom."Y-Yeah," he stammered and I turned to him. I caught how he gulped once as his breathing ragged."What happened to her? I don't know she's sick.""It's just a mild migraine. She passed out during the meeting.""But why? I don't know her condition.""Who would know if you're far away from her?" He scoffed and I knotted my brows together as I glared at him."Are you insulting me?" I gritted my teeth and his lips curled into a mischievous smile."Not yet." He replied arrogantly and leaned on his chair, crossing his arms in front. "So? How was Italy?"I clenched my jaw in frustration. I was about to answer

The following morning, I woke up early to have a jog. And when I went back to my house, I saw Harffiel sitting on the couch while reading a broadsheet."Good morning!" I greeted joyfully and he turned to me in surprise but immediately recovered and he smiled sweetly."Good morning, wife." He teased."Sounds gross." I scoffed and rolled my eyes at him as I walked towards the kitchen."Isn't it?" I heard his voice and footsteps followed."Are you hungry? I will cook breakfast for us." I presented, looking for some foods inside the fridge."No need." He demurred. "I can do it by myself."I scrunched my brows as I faced him."You sure?" I asked."Yup." He nodded. I can feel overwhelming confidence in his voice."Okay. I'll just take my shower. I'll be right back, alright?""Yeah, sure. Take ti

"You can step back if you're not comfortable with me." Royal coldly said as we're walking down the hall."Do I have a choice?" I mocked and he stopped then turned around to glare at me, making me take aback."I just told you, didn't I?" He cocked his left brow at me, so did I, trying to compete with his glare.Show to him how strong you are, Alraine Raphaela Marcos. Show to him that you weren't hurt at all.He narrowed his eyes on me."If only you're not pregnant, I should have carried you up and down." He disputed and I can see a playful smile on his deep coffee eyes."Then do it." I challenged, taking a deep breath while chinning up.His lips curl into an amused smile and I remain still, though my heart is hammering and my feet want to run away."You might regret it." He said in a smirk and I smirked back.We ended our a

"You didn't tell us you're coming home, Alpha." Aunt Graciana muttered.We're in the midst of our dinner. Aunt Graciana invited us to join their meal. I refused at first 'cause I told them I won't be long but she insisted and I had no choice but to nod in approval. Harffiel might wonder what's taking us so long to go back."I'm sorry, Aunt. My come back isn't really planned." I explained and I turned to Royal who's watching me already.Mrs. Mocetti and her husband sat across us, Throne got the center seat while I sat beside Royal."Mm." She nodded, chewing her food. Her eyes are on her plate. "How's your mom, anyway?" Then she shifted her eyes on me."She's fine." I smiled. "She's stable and by tomorrow, she's ready to be discharged.""She's lucky she survived. I mean, don't get me wrong. Your mom is really stubborn. I kept on telling her she should relax."

The following morning, mom was discharged from hospital. We payed bills and we went home instead of going somewhere. I told mom to get some rest because she badly needs it."You need to rest, mom. You can start your work tomorrow." I insisted and she sighed in resignation."Okay, sweetheart. You too.""I will, mom." I said and smiled.I'm happy and content that mom and I are in good terms. Hence, I can't ask for more but to have a good relationship with her, and also with dad. I'm not hoping they will ask forgiveness from me 'cause this is more than enough. Besides, I have forgiven them. And I believe there's no reason to abhor them."I hope you'll stay longer here, Mr. De Marco." Mom said.We're taking our lunch together. Harffiel and I sit beside each other while mom and dad sit across from us."It depends, Mrs. Marcos. If dad won't mind it." Harffiel hu
