Rafael's POVI couldn't sleep well last night; my body was alerted that Natalie was half naked a door away. I put my hands under my head while I was leaning on my back on the sofa, staring at the white ceiling. Memories of Natalie as a kid flashed through my head. I smiled. She was an adorable little girl. That little girl grew through the years that I spent abroad. A sarcastic smile appeared on my lips. I accused myself, “You can't accept that the little girl who was infatuated with you has grown up to be a sexy woman, and you don't interest her! Rather, she likes other men but you.”Suddenly, I heard the footsteps of someone walking on tiptoe. I knew it was her from her perfume. I closed my eyes pretending to be asleep. When I heard her steps move away, I opened my eyes. She was wrapping her body in a towel that barely covered her.I followed her to the balcony. She was swimming. Why do I keep feeling the need to hold her tightly and be inside her? I tried to cover my feelings by
Being naked between the arms of the man who you loved was an amazing and indescribable feeling. I always dreamed of being in his embrace. But that dream turned into a nightmare, and here I was sitting before Jack after everything he witnessed. I have never been in such an embarrassing situation before."I'm sorry. I didn't know that it was you. I mean, I never imagined....!" Jack stammered.I squeezed my forehead, trying to find a suitable reply to his hidden meaning! I knew what he was thinking, and a headache was coming for sure.He moved from his place and sat near me, his eyes were full of worry and anxiety. He mumbled, "listen, Natalie. l really like you. You are indeed a good person. I don't know what happened to you both last night to end up doing together..."I closed my eyes. I didn't want to hear anymore. I know. I know exactly what he was thinking of me. I knew what he was going to say.Rafael was an engaged man. Rafael had a fiancé. I, by myself, organized their engagement
I felt awkward while both men stared at me blankly. What did they expect me to say?Rafael broke the short silence, gazing at Jack furiously and demanded with gritted teeth, "Why did you tell her that I'm here?""I didn't. She thinks that maybe you're cheating on her. I swear you're not though", Jack said sarcastically.I felt so bad. Why am I in this situation in the first place? I didn't come by myself? I found myself here, and I don't even know the reason.I hated Rafael in this instance. He put me in this humiliating situation, yet he acts indifferent! Like if he doesn't give a shit to all of this. He was quiet and cold, he seemed like he didn't care that his fiancé was minutes away!!His dominore was so calm that it provoked me.With an injured expression I couldn't control, I stood up, grabbed my bag and walked to leave."Wait!" Raf said, holding my shoulders. I clenched my fists trying to reduce the anxiety and despair I was feeling now. I didn't want to seem weak or broken. I
Rafael's POV My heart tightened and became full of guilt when I saw the misery and disappointment on Natalie's face, although she tried to hide them. I knew I was the one who created this situation and generated this ado. I knew that she felt the same I felt, and wanted the thing I wanted. I sensed that when she was in my arms.However, at least I don't have to explain to Debbie why Natalie slept here last night. I couldn't risk it. If news like this spread, it would affect our arranged upcoming marriage. And as a result, The Nefson Holdings Group will not be merged with Marine Empire Trading.Once Natalie disappeared from my sight, Debbie appeared. She frowned slightly when she found me standing on the doorstep and wondered, "Why are you standing here?" I turned and entered the apartment without a word. Her question was answered by silence.She followed me inside, wrapped her arms around my waist and asked, “Why didn't you answer my calls? I was worried about you!”I let her arms
Rafael's POVI fixed my eyes on Natalie who was Indulged, displaying the presentation on the big screen behind her. This was the first time I attended a preparatory side meeting. I saw the astonishment on my employees' faces, but I didn't care.She impressed me. She was discussing her presentation in proficiency. Her confidence, presence and eye contact while negotiating was really impressive. Even the sudden entrance of Jack and I did not affect her performance.I was surprised when she came out from behind the table to grab some more maps for the presentation.'For God's sake! What is she wearing? Or not wearing!?' I wondered in disbelief mixed with a hint of anger."In fact, Mr Merrin, I think the idea that gorgeous Natalie presents is genius. People love gossip, so we will give him that with a great show. They'll gossip and your products will be the most wanted and searched through the internet database” Markus said with a voice filled with admiration, grabbing me from my thought
Natalie's POVI gasped for air. Did he really say what he said? His kisses went from my face through my neck. A shiver crossed my body to be evident that my body was fully active with him.He whispered behind my ear while sucking my earlobe, “What did you say? Instead of having a relationship with strangers, we are married, so let's take advantage of the remaining six months and fill our sexual desires with each other!”I blinked. I couldn't think clearly. I couldn't believe his boldness. This was what I always dreamed of though. This was my dream the whole time! Should I take the dangerous offer or reject it? I was totally confused. Brushing my thighs with his playful tall fingers causing sparks and twinkles to explode inside my veins, he added, “Let’s satisfy our desires and respect the so-called marriage between us”I tried to think clearly. Although it was hard to do so in this position. Maybe this was my only chance to be with him! After the six months ended, every one of us w
Dear readers, Thank you for reading my book and give it a chance. Please don't judge this book from now, we are still in the very beginning. I know and I understand that some of you maybe hated Rafael, and became disturbed by his selfishness, but consider that he is a sick man. He is sadist, and this how sadistic people act. He is not a sadist because he wanted to, he has an internal conflict made him so. My male lead is not perfect. He has his flaws. He is a human being and has his own mistakes to learn of. But as I said, we're still at the very beginning, you will see the development of Natalie's character soon. Thank you again for your precious time. Please Vote and leave me a review and comment, I'm greedy to read your opinions. I love you all!
Natalie's POV The workload was so much this week, I could barely take a breath. I contacted several news agencies to cover the news in order to spread some gossip about Rafael and Debbie during the upcoming party. Our goal was to highlight some excerpts from Raphael’s life to arouse the curiosity of the public to attract more attention to the companies’ products.Rafael was one of the country's biggest capitalists, and also ranked among the world's richest men. But he has to keep up with the world, trends and fame though.This event was not an ordinary party, it was made to announce the cooperation between the two industrial and commercial empires. Merrin and Nefson Groups.“I don't want any faults, we have to make this event the news of the week. It should explode through the internet like a wildfire” I said firmly to my team.However, I saw them smiling, shifting gazes and winking at each other. Tess mentioned by shaking her eyebrows towards the door. I frowned and stared behind in
