Chapter 22- Stranger Danger
"Checkmate." Tami beamed proudly as she stopped the timer, indicating that she had won yet another battle of chess.
Raphael squinted his eyes, as he playfully glared at her. It was quite obvious that Tami had a competitive spirit, but it was far more than he anticipated.
"You cheated," he accused, inching closer to her.
She giggled. "I didn’t."
"You did. What's your secret? Why do you keep winning?"
"Because I'm good." She shrugged, reigning innocence. "It's not my fault you suck."
Raphael growled playfully before launching at her. She squirmed and tried to

THE WARM rays of the sun beamed down on Tami's face as she sat on the cool balcony attached to her room. She watched the waters beneath her roll in with all its crystal-like beauty as it crashed against the coastal rocks.It seemed like a perfect day to have breakfast on the balcony. She had realized how much she loved being on the balconies, whether it was hers of Raphael’s. So, when the sea's winds knocked against her windows and woke her up this morning, she knew she simply had to eat there.Mrs. Garcia had prepared her favorite meal, since Raphael wasn’t home and she was feeling sad. Mrs. Garcia is such a sweet woman, and despite the questions about Tami, she always treated her like a daughter. They appreciated each other in an odd way. Even though they don't talk much, their relationship was never straine

SHE HEARD them coming.Tami heard the footsteps coming up the stairs like a mighty army ready to whisk her away from paradise. She had seen when they pulled up to the house through her bathroom window, and she knew it couldn’t have been anything good.How had they known that she was there? It’s obvious that they were there for her. But how?It didn’t matter. She knew she had to hide. If they were here, that meant they suspected Raphael, and seeing her in the house wouldn’t yield great results for him.If only her mother had believed that she wasn’t kidnapped, then this all wouldn’t have been happening.

ARE BOARD meetings always this long?Tami had been in the waiting room for over an hour, and still it wasn’t over. It was her fault for insisting that Raphael take her to the office with him, despite the risks.However, they have been quite discreet thus far.Tami was dressed in a cashmere black dress and silver heels, with her head under a thin black shawl and dark sunglasses.She was barely recognizable, and she realized that nobody stared long enough to notice. They all seemed intimidated by Raphael’s presence, and so most times their heads were down casted.Why had she insisted on accompanying him to work?
Being The Billionaire's Captive Chapter 26-Where The Heart Is
THE SILENCE was deafening, but no one dared breaking it.There was nothing to say, and Raphael didn’t know how to approach her either. What started out as a normal, happy morning, turned into a hectic day of packing and arranging flights.She sat at the window alone, staring out the window as the plane lifted from the ground. She hadn’t said anything for the past four hours except 'yes or no', and it was quite worrying.After seeing that post on her sister’s Story, Tami had gone into what seemed like a state of shock. Her eyes weren’t focused and her breathing had never leveled since this morning. It didn’t even seem like she was aware that they were on their way to another country.All she did was stare.Sighing, Raphael pushed a duffle bag under the chair when the plane had leveled in the air. He had to make a lo
Being The Billionaire's Captive Chapter 27-Reality
IT WAS almost four p.m. when Raphael's driver, Nick, pulled up to Tami's house.Nick had been rather quiet all the way here. The last time he saw his boss and Tami was the night Raphael left for the airport, then Nick heard all over the news that the woman was 'missing'. Poor Nick didn’t know what to do or how to approach the situation, but he surely minded his own business.Nobody spoke all the way here. Not Raphael, not Nick and obviously not Tami.They sat outside the familiar house for over ten minutes, simply because Tami wouldn't let go of Raphael. She knew she was home, but she refused to open her eyes and face reality.The minute she steps through that door, she knew it would al
Being The Billionaire's Captive Chapter 28- Malik
THE RAIN was a light patter against the umbrella, but it was the only sound Tami heard.She never heard the sound of what the priest had been saying in the sermon, nor all the nice words that supporters shared.It was all drowned in the sound of the rain and her own sniffles.Raphael held her close to his side with his arm around her waist.Even though he didn’t know Mr. Knowles, the kind words of friends and well wishers gave him just enough information that he needed to know about this wonderful man.Not to mention that since the two whole days that Tami had been home, she had barely said a word to him.Things were just about the same on that part.Her sister was still pissed at her, and her mother had been busy with family, friends and the media, talking about her husband and her returnee daughter.He had tried to be there for her the best he cou
Being The Billionaire's Captive Chapter 29-With You
“Please Tami? Today?” Malik had been trying for the past ten minutes to convince Tami to have lunch with him, but to no avail.Even after Tami saw him yesterday and felt pumped about the idea, things have changed since then.Within 24 hours, two different cops visited her house, apparently the case about her alleged kidnapping had been reopened. Heavens knows why, but Tami had a feeling that a certain brown eyed man had something to do with it.After seeing how he left yesterday, the way he eyed Raphael, Tami knew that Malik was the one who did it.Also, Raphael stopped by about an hour ago, talking about the very thing. Cops had been to his hotel room, asking about his relation to Tami
Being The Billionaire's Captive Chapter 30- La Vie
IT HAD been hours since Tami heard the news, and it all still seemed surreal.Raphael had been the sole reason why she had even been holding up, and now he's gone too?It couldn’t be true. So, Tami didn’t believe it.Fifty-two times. It had been fifty-two times that she had called him, and even when the call went to voicemail every time, Tami was convinced that he was still out and free.Yet despite all that, she still couldn’t help the nudge in her mind— the only voice that was making sense, because it was telling her the truth. The truth that she had been in denial about for the past five hours, but knew she would have to escape from eventually.
