Chapter 35

RAFAEL'S POV

Seth's call came at the worst possible moment. Meris had finally been about to tell me what was wrong.

I could still see the look on her face when my phone rang. She had been hesitant, almost as if she was fighting with herself over whether to speak.

Then Seth told me they had found the girl. I had no choice but to leave.

Still, as I drove away from the mansion, something inside me refused to settle. I should have stayed. I should have let her finish.

I pulled into the s

  • From Rejected to Rafael's    Chapter Forty-Five

    Chapter 45MERIS’S POVRafael paid anyway, and he kept quiet about it.That was what I couldn't stop thinking about.He hadn't done it because a contract forced his hand. He had done it when he could have walked away, and he hadn't even waited around to see whether I would thank him.For someone who had every reason to keep our relationship within the lines we had agreed on, Rafael had done something he didn't have to do.And suddenly, I wasn't sure what scared me more: that I might have been wrong about him, or that I was starting to believe him again. “I didn't do it so you would thank me.”Rafael tilted his head, and one corner of his mouth lifted.“Besides, you already thanked me. You hugged me first. Remember?” Heat rushed to my face. I looked down.I had been so overwhelmed earlier that I hadn't thought before throwing my arms around him. It felt so embarrassing thinking about it now.“Don't make it a big deal.”“I wasn't planning to.” His smile softened. “And you don't have to

  • From Rejected to Rafael's    Chapter Forty-Four

    Chapter 44MERIS’S POV“The surgery is over.”The doctor's words hit me so slowly that I almost didn't understand them. Then my shoulders dropped. The air I didn't know I was holding left my chest in one long, shaky breath, and my fingers, which had been digging into my palms for hours, finally loosened.It was over. She was alive.“But…” That one word was enough.My relief vanished so fast it felt like the floor had been pulled out from under me. My knees went weak, and I grabbed the back of the chair beside me.“But what, Doctor?”“Miss Volkov, please stay calm. There's nothing to panic about.” He kept his voice low and even, the way people do when they've delivered hard news before.“Your mother lost a lot of strength because of her condition. The next several hours are important. She needs to stay under close observation, because she isn't completely out of danger yet.”I nodded, though my head felt light and far away.“I can't promise exactly when she'll wake up. Try to keep the

    **Chapter 43****MERIS POV**Rafael's arms were tight around me, steady in a way my own body wasn't. I felt his heartbeat against my side, quick, not as calm as his face probably looked. The hospital lights slid past overhead, one after another, and I let my eyes follow them because it was easier than thinking. My legs had stopped working somewhere back in that room. Now they just hung there, useless, while he carried me down the hallway and stopped in front of the surgery room doors.He lowered me into the waiting chair across from them, slow, careful, like he thought I might break if he moved too fast.I couldn't stop looking at those doors.My fingers twisted together in my lap. My foot wouldn't stay still. Every time someone in scrubs walked past, my whole body went rigid, waiting for it to be someone coming to tell me something, and every time it wasn't, the air went out of me a little.Rafael noticed. He always noticed. He reached over and squeezed my hand once, then got up wi

  • From Rejected to Rafael's    Chapter Forty Two

    Chapter 42RAFAEL'S POVHours passed. The light outside the window shifted and I barely noticed. She hadn't moved."Doctor." I stood the moment he stepped in. "She's been unconscious for hours. Shouldn't she have woken up by now?"The doctor glanced at the monitors before looking back at me."Her condition is stable, Mr. Belmont. Sometimes, after severe physical and emotional trauma, a patient can remain unresponsive longer than expected.""So what do we do?""We wait and monitor her. But there's something you can try.""What?""Talk to her." I frowned."Talk to her?""Yes. If there's someone she feels safe with, someone whose voice she knows well, let that person speak to her. We can't promise it will wake her, but familiar voices can sometimes reach a patient even when they aren't responding." My eyes went back to Meris."Someone she loves?""Someone she trusts. Someone emotionally important to her."He left. I sat there turning the words over, and the question underneath them was w

  • From Rejected to Rafael's    Chapter Forty One

    **Chapter 41****RAFAEL'S POV**I hadn't slept.Every time I closed my eyes she was there, Connor's arms around her, her head against his chest, her eyes closing like she trusted him enough to stop fighting. I lay in the dark and watched it again and again, the way you can't stop pressing on a bruise even when you know it will hurt.I wasn't supposed to feel like this over a girl. Not like this. Not over anyone. But Meris was never just a girl, and lying there in the dark I understood that better than I wanted to.Gael paced somewhere under my skin, restless, snarling low. ‘You let him take her. You just stood there.’I know.‘She should have come to you.’I told him that too, more than once, but the moment I said it out loud in my head, something colder answered back, something that felt less like Gael and more like the truth.‘How exactly do you want her to do that? You're Rafael Belmont. Everyone fears you. She isn't excluded. She's just been pretending to be brave enough to stand

    Chapter 40MERIS'S POVMy mother pushed herself up from the bed, one hand braced on my shoulder. "Meris, ignore them. Nobody standing in this room can stop that man if he's decided to marry you. Let's just let them leave."My father's face changed the second her voice reached him, something in it snapping shut, and he moved toward her so fast I didn't have time to step in front of her.She went down before I even understood what had happened."Mom!" I dropped to the floor beside her, shaking her shoulder, my hands suddenly clumsy and useless. "Mom, look at me. Mom!" She didn't answer. Her eyes were closed, her face too still, and the room around me seemed to tilt."Stop pretending, Irina," Anita said from somewhere above me, but her voice sounded far away, like it was coming through water.My father looked down at her with an expression I couldn't read at first, and then it hardened into something worse. "I knew it. Still as cunning as ever.""Somebody help her!" I was screaming now,
