Nikolai Vetrov~•~Rafael didn’t say much on the drive. He was rarely on good terms with his father but I could see how much the news of his father's hospitalization affected him.His father wasn’t like my grandfather who went to the hospital for attention. Rafael’s father was straight to the point and didn’t beat around the bush, which was why he easily disowned Rafael when it started to affect his company. I actually preferred that to my grandfather’s quiet manipulation. He hadn’t called or texted me since the day I left his house. Elena and her father stopped calling a few days ago when they realized my decision was final. I still wasn’t sure what the consequence was, but I wasn’t scared of it.Rafael stared straight ahead, drumming his fingers on his thigh, his jaw tight. He didn’t glance at me once. I kept my eyes on the road but every few minutes, I’d spare him a glance. He didn’t ask me to come. He didn’t ask me not to come either. Rafael was out of the car before I could pro

Rafael Moretti~•~Christmas morning was odd.The youngest Vale was seventeen yet there were presents under the Christmas tree in the morning.At the Moretti household, you stopped receiving presents as soon as you turned eleven. Even before then, presents were never under the tree. They were just handed to you at the end of the night and it was always something expensive and random. I hated it, which is why I made it necessary to get my siblings well-thought-out presents as soon as I began earning.Unfortunately, we couldn’t spend Christmas together this time.As I watched Serena walk down the stairs in a horrendous Christmas sweater, I felt oddly satisfied. Everyone had one except Nikolai and me but that was because her mother didn’t know we were coming until like two days ago. She didn’t have enough time to knit two more.We’d survived a kidnapping, the media circus, a public disownment, walking out on a public engagement, and many more just for Nikolai and me to end up in Serena’s

Serena Vale~•~Going home for Christmas was always comforting.This year was… different.I usually went back home alone. Douglas spent Christmas with his family and I did the same with mine. We had only planned to have a joint Christmas this year, but obviously that didn’t work out.Who would have thought I’d be going home with two men this year?Rafael drove, singing along to his playlist that no one else liked. Nikolai sat in the backseat, his posture stiff.The sight made me chuckle. “You don’t have to look like you’re going into war,” I said, twisting in the front seat to stare at him. “I’m not.”Rafael snorted. “You absolutely are.”Nikolai shot him a glare, his gaze softening when he looked back at me. “I just want them to like me.”That made my lips tug in a smile. “They will,” I said gently. “My parents are really kind. And they already like Rafael so you’re not walking in alone.”Rafael’s smile was smug. “I set the standards high.”“All he did was bring my mom flowers.”“Yo

Nikolai Vetrov~•~The headlines exploded the next morning.As expected, there were articles about me walking out on the Solokovs, but somehow, someone had caught wind of Serena’s kidnapping and the news was making waves.‘THE TWO BILLIONAIRE HEIRS RISK IT ALL FOR THEIR SHARED GIRLFRIEND: This might be true love after all.’Some people called me a rebel heir. My pictures were all over the internet. Women posted that they wanted a man like me. Men couldn’t decide whether I was brave or an idiot.I didn’t care about any of those.All that mattered was that Serena was safe.Rafael and I had spent the night at her place, but we just watched her sleep, then crashed on the couch in the living room.Lila left in the middle of the night. She had left work just to be sure Serena was okay. Now that she was certain she was safe, she could return to work.The next morning, I tried to order takeout, but my card declined. “Cutting me off from money I worked for is crazy,” I muttered to myself as I

Serena Vale~•~Rafael and Nikolai refused to leave.Well, it wasn’t like anyone chased them away but they weren’t making any effort to leave. Night eventually came. Tessa left.But Rafael and Nikolai followed me into my room.I sat on the bed. They sat on the couch opposite the bed. I chuckled at the sight. “Are both of you going to stay here all night?”They shared a glance, then nodded. I bit my bottom lip. It wasn’t like I minded that, but this was the first time the three of us were alone after we left the island. It was… for lack of a better word, awkward.We stayed in silence for a while. Then Nikolai suddenly stood up and walked toward me. I strained my neck to look up at him. He squatted in front of me instead. “Can we talk?”I bit the inside of my cheek, not replying.“Are you mad at me?”“You didn’t reach out for two weeks.” I pointed out.He lowered his gaze guiltily. “I know, baby. I’m sorry. I just… I didn’t know what to say. I didn’t think you’d want to hear from me.”

Serena Vale~•~The police came, flashing red lights. They took photos. They took our statements and they pulled Douglas out of the cabin in cuffs. His face was swollen and he was glaring at me like I was the reason for his misery. I looked away from him. I couldn’t bear to look at him without getting angry. I still couldn’t believe the best solution his brain could come up with concerning getting back together with me was to kidnap me.It was pretty embarrassing for me that I had almost married this man. I wished I could erase the time he’d spent in my life.I didn’t know where he kept my phone but it was nowhere to be found when they checked around the house. The officers asked me a lot of questions, almost prying into my relationship with him from seven months ago. Rafael and Nikolai stood beside me as if they were trying to let me know they weren’t going anywhere.I knew they weren’t.They loaded Douglas into the car and the medics checked me for bruises and broken bones.
