"Argh, that pampered piece of shit!!" Ruhi heard Adira's voice first thing when she returned with Rafael and walked through the front door. Adira was yelling at her parents.
"Why does she always get more than she deserves? She didn't even ask for it, and you guys still want to do it?"
Her dad replied in a calm voice, "She gets more because she has a good attitude and is happy even when she doesn't get more, and that's why she gets the best in the end."
Her mom added, "And stop comparing yourself with her. We spent almost ten million on your wedding, and your husband even wanted a dowry. We still have to constantly feed their egos with more money and presents. Not to mention your ego. All we spent for Ruhi's wedding were the flight tickets to get there."
"But she fucking didn't even ask for it! Why do it now?"
"Lower your voice, Adira. And stop with foul language." Her dad was losing patience.
"Do what?" Ruhi interfered, and Adira s

"She's very excited about traveling in the business class for the first time," Rafael told himand walked toward where she was standing."Ah, so he finally remembered me. I thought both my parents and your dad are all on your side now." Ruhi moved to reachfor the phone in Rafael's hand.A distant gunshot and a swish of a bullet came out of nowhere and passed right next to her as she moved out of her position,hitting Landon in the arm.Rafael dropped the phone and pulled her around.The next shot followed in less than a second, hittinghim in the back. She could feel the bullet as it pierced through him because he was holding her close.He moved herout of the way with so much force before the next shot was heard that she tumbled over the sand, making him lose balance as well, toppling right over her."RAFAEL!!" She ran her hand over his back, screaming as he held her in a protective grip.Open firing betwe

As soon as Alisha found out that Antonio had flown out of the country, she put on one of her favorite red dresses with a plunging necklineand hurried to Rafael's place. It was sevenin the morning. Knowing her ex-boyfriend and his workaholic nature, she was sure he would be getting ready to leave for work already, against all recommendations and warnings from the doctor.She was bummed that her dad's men did such a poor job of getting rid of Ruhi. They did the one thing she specifically told them notto.She was sure she wouldn't have spared them for letting Ruhi live if any of them had survived.When she heard Rafael lost his memory, she was back in the game to get him because she was sure he would obviously pick her over a plain Jane like Ruhi. It still bothered her that Ruhi was alive and might show up anytime, with fat tears rolling down her cheeks and swooping him away from her right under her nose.To make matters worse, she found out

It was finally time to fly to San Francisco, and Ruhi was more nervous than happy after talking to her father-in-law about Rafael. His words played in her mind over and over while she was packing her bags. And yet, she had a hard time believing those words because of the kind of Rafael she saw.She thought he might have acted like a jerk a few times or was unreasonable, but mostly pampered her and treated her well. What Rafael's dad said about him was totally different."Not only his memory, but his attitude also seems to have gone back to how he was about ten years back. He was the biggest jerk of his college. He ganged up with Aaron, Eddy, and another dude you haven't met and beat up his football team captain and all his friends. He bullied every new student; the more innocent or weak someone looked, the more he harassed them. He earned many awful names, and I was ashamed of him. Not to mention the number of times he failed on the tests or the times cops came to

There was more than a twinge of awe in Antonio's voice when he saw Ruhi throwing empty threats at Rafael, and his son not minding her closenessat all. "Dad!" She freed herself from Rafael's arms and stood up, feeling awkward. "I was so worried, wondering if he threw your bags onto the lawn and pushed you out of the house. His grandma was nagging me to check on you, saying he must have choked you in a fit of anger or something. And what am I seeing here?" Rafael got annoyed and got up from the couch, standing almost a foot away from Ruhi. "Well, ask her to reschedule and attend the meeting because I'm late and not going to try again." Rafael walked into the kitchen to ask Ms. Myers to makedinner, now that he wasn't going out. "Late? She got here just a minute ago. You just don't want to attend my meetings." Ruhi looked at Antonio apologetically. His vision wasn't completely back even after two surgeries, and he had traveled

As Ruhi walked down the hallway, she marveled at the modern structures and three-dimensional wall panels, with huge office spaces and free food everywhere. She would have loved to be part of it, but she knew it won't be possible because she had to work with Rafael, not his dad. This building appeared much bigger to her than the one Rafael's company had.It was only 9.45AM when she stepped into the conference room. She wanted to set everything up and calm her nerves before everyone got in.Taking a seat close to the projector, she looked up andsaw a quote on the wall above the projector: 'What we do echoes in eternity,' with diamond and infinitypatterns under it."Beautiful, isn't it?" Laura, Rafael's PA at his dad's company, walked in with coffee and refreshments."Y-yes. This building somehow makes you feel inspired to become a workaholic." Talking to anyone but Rafael seemed to relax her a little.She was confused when Lau

Ruhi tried to resist his kiss and not give in so easily. He made a joke out of her and her presentation. She didn't even want to think about how she was going to explain this to her father-in-law.Rafael pushed hertothe wall without breaking the kiss and pinned her arms against itwhile wrapping the other hand around her waist tightly and pulling her into him. Ruhi's lips slightly parted when she felt himthrobbing between her legs. He took the opportunity to force his tongue into her mouth, claiming and devouring.Moaning against his mouth, she deepened the kiss and rubbed herself up and down his hardness.He undid the top three buttons of her blouse while tracing wet kisses down to the hollow of her neck, making her cry out his name."Fuck, you taste so good." He groaned,licking the curve of her breast.Ruhi ran her hands into his tousled chocolate brown hair and rained kisses on his forehead while letting him tease the

"Weird? What kind of weird? You mean like a psycho?" Ruhi's friend Lisa was on the other end of the phone, trying to understand Rafael's behavior."Not a psycho, but more like someone with a split personality disorder. One minute he acts so cold like he doesn't care if I choke to my death right in front of his eyes. But the next moment, he has this glint in his eyes. You know, the kind that tells you he can't live without you.""You think he's pretending to have forgotten you?""What good will it do to either of us? I don't think he can be so cruel to me.""Why don't you ask him?""And why will he tell me?""Ruhi, ask him.""Ugh! I thought you will have an answer.""I'm a school teacher, not a psychiatrist or psychologist.""Fine. I have to start work from tomorrow at his company. I will be directly reporting to him.""I can picture you rolling your eyes right now. If your office has any tall, handsome guys with a

A small smile broke across Rafael's face when he saw Ruhi walk into his office the next day. Dressed in navy blue slacks and a yellow shirt, she looked at his expression uncertainly, wondering if he was also thinking about his hands under her violet skirt. She made sure she was in control this time by not wearing a skirt. She was still recovering from the effect of a wet dream she had early in the morning where his voice was husky, thick with desire, confessing his feelings for her. Rafael wasn't thinking about her skirt, but about how much sexier she looked yesterday in his white shirt. He wasn't sure what he would have done to her if she had let him rip it off. Her cheeks turned a soft shade of pink under his hungry gaze, wondering what he was thinking about. Shaking off all unwanted thoughts, he smirked at her arrogantly and stopped her from taking a seat. "Ms. Mirambika Bakul. You aren't my wife here, but an ordinary employee like anyone else workin
