POV: Raphael After our dinner, I spent quality time cuddling with her and having a good time. She couldn’t stop talking about Miguel, she was so excited about her new friend that I felt the need to let her retain her smiles and excitement by urging her to keep hanging out with him if that would make her smile more often. She looks so beautiful when she smiles, hanging out with him seems to bring out the best in her, and that’s okay. As a matter of fact, I’m ashamed to admit that he makes her more happy in one day than I’ve done since we met. I kept asking her questions about him, coaxing her to tell me more about him. I listened to her just to find out everything he said to her. I felt relieved when she didn’t mention anything about their relationship as siblings. It’s either he doesn’t know yet that she is his long lost sister, or there is something else holding him back from telling her the truth about her real family.I need to find out the hospital they had admitted Victoria int
POV: Raphael “Are you really sure about the result you sent to my phone, how did you get his DNA, did you break into his apartment?” I asked him on the phone. I had to wait until Victoria fell asleep before I could leave her side and go outside to call Carl. “I’m sure boss, I picked up his cutlery from the restaurant he visited with Victoria. Actually, I picked up both DNA at the restaurant and it turned out to be a match. What should I do boss, what does this mean for us, is he going to be trouble, should I take him out?” he asked me. “No, Carl. There will be no need for that, I will handle Miguel myself.” I told him sternly. “Tonight, I just need you to invade the Kendalls group, I want to know everything that is going on in that company.” I told him sternly. I asked him to investigate the Kendall’s company and tell me if Austin Kendall has collected more loans since the last time he used the company to take loans from the bank. For all I know he could be trying to sell off the
POV: Raphael “I do not know what you are talking about, Raphael Hawkins. But I suggest you leave here now before I make you regret it!” she yelled in my face, pointing her burner phone in my face as if it were a gun. Damn, she’s crazy as fuck. “Are you insane, Eloise?When was the last time you had your head checked!” I asked in surprise, looking at her as if she had suddenly grown two horns. “What are you even doing with a burner phone?I thought I asked you to drop every fucking phone with mp PA when I moved you to this place, did you hide this phone from him, and who the hell are you calling so late in the night?” I asked her curiously, watching her reaction. Her face turned red in anger, I could tell that she wanted to hurt me but she was holding back. But why is she forcing herself to remain calm despite everything that is happening around her, what the hell is she up to?“I’m warning you, Raphael, stay the hell away from me and my daughters. You don’t want to piss me off, you
POV: Raphael “It's deeper than you can ever imagine, Hawkins boy!I’ve made a promise to a lot of people, lives will be lost if the truth comes to light. Families will be destroyed and a lot of people will have their lives destroyed by the damn truth. Everything I’ve worked for will be destroyed!I won’t do it, I can’t let that happen!” she said, her voice trembling with anger and sadness.“A promise, huh?A promise that is costing you the relationship you have with your and your entire family. You need to act fast because that promise is costing you your daughters’ love and trust,” I replied to her, my tone firm yet emotional. “You need to be the one to tell them. They deserve to know who they are and it’s only fair that they hear it from you and not the press, or Miguel. This is your mess, and you need to clean it up before it gets worse.” I told her. Silence hung between us, it was so thick and heavy that we both felt it in our hearts. Eloise’s gaze dropped to the floor, her stre
POV: RaphaelOutside, the moon dipped lower in the sky, casting a calm glow over the house. I took a moment to breathe, feeling the weight of the world shift slightly. The truth was a powerful force, and I hoped it would lead us all to a brighter future. Yeah, I hoped in my heart that everything would go according to plan so we could all heal and get past these lies. That is the only way we can move on with our lives and I hoped in my heart that it happened that way.But something is off, I can feel it in my bones. I kept feeling weird even after I left her room and took a walk around the house to be sure our security locks were secured. I was pacing my room for no just reason and it’s making me edgy and furious. This only happens when I’ve made a mistake or a bad business deal. Usually, when I feel this way, I know exactly what to do. It’s either I find my way to correctly mistake before it is too late, or if it’s a business deal that is making me feel this way, I’ll simply back dow
POV: Raphael Yeah, I left her and went back to my room, but just before she shut the door, she said me a question that made me realize that despite all the drama she was putting on, she was still thoughtful and over-calculative. She said, “One more thing before you leave my room, Raphael Hawkins. How did you find out I called someone when you left, and how did you hear the exact words I said to the person. Are you monitoring my affairs, is my room bugged?” She asked me, while her eyes looked around the room, searching for a camera or anything that would explain how I found out. “Goodnight, Eloise. Let’s see how tomorrow works out for you and the girls.” I told her with a smile. She smirked in response, tusking playfully.“I’ll find out, Ralph. Whatever you think you are hiding from me, I will find out and I will hit you back where it hurts the most. Do not think I would let this go easily.” She told me with a smile, looking right at me.“You took the words right out of my mouth, El
POV: Victoria You know, the first time was a bomb. The first time we met, we had spent some time shopping and talking about our lives. I always enjoy my time with him because he makes me feel special and he makes me forget my problems with my family. All my life, I have always felt that I needed a friend I could confide in. That void in her heart was filled when I met Miguel, he is my other half that I never even knew was missing. He looks just like me, not to mention the fact that we share the same likes and dislikes, we also share the same sense of humor and do many other things. It’s amazing how he felt so perfect for me, I felt happy to be with him, and to be honest, I couldn't wait to be with him and spend some good time with him. I agreed to have lunch with him, but my anticipation and excitement were just too much. I couldn't even wait for lunch, I woke up feeling so happy to see him. Yeah, I know what you are thinking. You think I only woke up happy because Raphael and I ha
POV: Victoria He kept mute and just stared at me, his hands holding mine on the table. He didn’t need to say too much, his silence and action were enough evidence that he meant what he was saying to me. He doesn’t look too good either, I could tell that he feels hurt. He doesn’t want to hurt me, but he has no choice."I don't understand," I whispered to him, my voice trembling. "How can I be your sister, Marisol? I've lived my whole life as Victoria, and I have a family. I have a mom and a dad, I even have a sister. Eloise and Austin Kendall are my parents, not some kidnappers you are making them out to be. You need to stop saying these things about my family, I don’t want to lose our friendship, but I will walk away if you don’t stop right now.If you think I’m your sister because I look like you, then what about Claire?!Is she your sister too?Well, news flash, pretty boy. Claire looks nothing like you, and she is my sister. So how do you explain that?" I asked him furiously, tr
