From Rejected to Rafael's Chapter Seventy
CHAPTER 70NADIA'S POV"I'm sorry, sweetheart. I couldn't stop her." My mother's voice was soft and full of guilt.I frowned and pulled my hand away from hers."I should have stopped her. I should have…""Mom, could you please be quiet?" I hissed. "I wasn't expecting you to do anything for me anyway. Just let me rest.”Every apology made her voice a little louder, and the walls in this place were thin. I didn't want sympathy. I wanted her to stop talking before she said something that could ruin everything."Oh, sweetheart, don't say that. You know I would do anything for you." She sat beside me and took my hand again."When have you ever done something for me that didn't end in pain?" I pulled my hand back and turned to my phone.Connor's name was still at the top of my call log. I had called him earlier, my voice small and shaky."Honey, please come see me. I'm admitted in the hospital."“What? Are you okay, babe? Send me the hospital location now."He hadn't asked anything else. I

CHAPTER 69MERIS'S POVI didn't know why I was letting him hold me.Maybe because I had missed him. Maybe because, even after everything that had happened tonight, his arms still felt familiar. There was something about being this close to him that made it difficult to remember all the reasons I had been trying to keep my distance.I could hear his heartbeat against my ear. His hand moved slowly down my back, and my breathing gradually began to even out. My fingers, which had been trembling against his shirt, slowly relaxed.I stopped crying and closed my eyes.For a little while, I forgot about the hall. I forgot the whispers, the uncomfortable stares and everything that had happened earlier. I didn't have to think about what anyone was saying or what they might be thinking of me.I only wanted to stay where I was.Being in his arms felt familiar, and I had missed that feeling more than I wanted to admit.But the comfort didn't last.The memory of what had happened earlier slowly cr
From Rejected to Rafael's Chapter Sixty Eight
**CHAPTER 68**MERIS'S POVI had barely taken a few steps when Aria caught up with me."Meris!" I kept walking."Meris, wait." She caught my hand, and I stopped.The moment she saw my face, her expression changed."Oh, sweetheart."That was all it took. My chin shook, and I tried to smile, but it wouldn't hold."Can we just go?""What happened?""Nothing. I just want to leave."She looked over my shoulder towards where Rafael stood. Then she looked back at me."Did he say something?" I shook my head."Please, Aria. Not here."She didn't ask again. She took my hand and led me towards the restroom.The moment the door closed behind us, I walked straight to the nearest mirror and gripped the edge of the counter with both hands.My eyes were already full.I hated it. I hated that I had let myself be embarrassed like that. I hated that I had stood there, waiting for someone who couldn't spare one minute to hear me out.Most of all, I hated that it hurt this much. Aria came up behind me."M
From Rejected to Rafael's Chapter Sixty Seven
**CHAPTER 67**RAFAEL'S POVI hadn't planned on staying long.I had only agreed to attend because of the business connection between the birthday celebrant and an old friend of mine who had recently returned from out of state.Amelia had called me a few days earlier. She needed somewhere to stay temporarily while she sorted out her business arrangements, and we had spent some time talking through her plans. She also had an existing business connection with the person celebrating his birthday.When she asked if I would accompany her, I agreed.There was nothing unusual about it. We had known each other for years, and I had no reason to turn her down.I greeted the celebrant and exchanged a few words with some of the guests."Thank you for coming," he said."Happy birthday," I replied. My old friend smiled at him."We've been looking forward to seeing you." He laughed."I'm glad you both made it."I stayed with them, answering questions from other guests as they came over.I hadn't noti

CHAPTER 66MERIS'S POVI spent the rest of the afternoon trying to find the right moment to approach him.Through the glass wall of his office, I could see him at his desk, one hand on his laptop, the other holding a pen he never seemed to use. Twice I stood up from my chair and sat back down. Once I got as far as the door before his phone rang and I turned around, relieved and annoyed with myself for being relieved.I rehearsed what I would say. Something short. Something that didn't sound like an argument.At last, I gathered the report from my desk and walked in. He was on the phone, so I waited near the door, holding the papers against my chest, until he ended the call."Rafael, I wanted to ask you something about the figures in the report."His eyes dropped to the papers in my hand."Ask Seth.” I blinked."But you're the one who requested the report.""Seth can answer your question." He returned his attention to his laptop.Whatever I had practiced was gone. I stood there with m

CHAPTER 65MERIS'S POVI barely slept that night.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Rafael's face right before he walked away from me. His words kept playing in my head, especially the way he had said them.Do whatever you want, Meris.Not princess. Not little princess. Him not calling me that alone had made it clear that something has changed.I had heard Rafael use a firm voice countless times. I had seen him angry with other people, and I had even witnessed the terrifying side of his temper. But he had never been angry with me like that.Around midnight, I picked up my phone and opened our messages. My thumb hovered over the screen for a long time.*I'm sorry.*I deleted it. That wasn't right. I wasn't sorry for refusing, and he would know it.*My mother just needs time.*I deleted that too. It sounded like I was asking him to wait for something he had already decided.In the end, I put the phone face down on the bedside table and turned onto my side.It wasn't that I didn't know
