Rafael Moretti

~•~

My father gave me two weeks to think about it.

When I’d gotten there at first, I’d plainly told him I came back with Nikolai. He was enraged. His blood pressure almost increased but he calmed himself down and told me he’d take me back as his son with the condition that I’d drop Serena and Nikolai.

As if that wasn’t the very reason he disowned me in the first place. We weren’t father and son anymore. I didn’t owe it to him to visit him in the hospital, but I couldn’t help myself when I heard he was in a critical condition.

I almost walked out on him after his offer, but he called me back, said he was just testing my resolve, and asked me to go back to the company.

I was conflicted.

Despite how much I complained about working, I missed it. Being at home all day long with nothing to do wasn’t very fulfilling. I’d been at Moretti International for six years. I wasn’t surprised it wasn’t so easy for me to part with.

    Serena Vale~•~Rafael had told me to focus on spending time with my family but I could barely concentrate anymore. Not just me, but everyone else was worried, especially when we hadn’t heard from Nikolai and Rafael in five hours.I finally texted the group chat around eight at night.[Me: Everything okay?]There was no response so the next time I texted, it was around ten.[Me: just let me know if you guys are fine]Nikolai responded then.[Nikolai: Rafael’s father is stable. Rafael’s exhausted. Let’s talk tomorrow?]I frowned. I doubted I’d be able to sleep properly but I was sure they were already stressed and I didn’t want to add to it.[Me: Okay, goodnight.]The next morning, I couldn’t sit still anymore. I grabbed my things, called a cab, and set out. I usually spent the entirety of the holiday at home, only leaving on the second day of the new year, but my parents understood this time so they didn’t even try to stop me.The drive to Rafael’s house felt endless. The snow definit

    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
