Ruhi woke up in an empty bed the next morning and felt miserable. Feelings of discontent from yesterday seemed to have amplified now, and not being able to vent them out made her bottle up a lot of resentment. She had expected to wake up in Rafael's arms and talk to him about what was bothering her so much before he left for work.Her actual plan was to bring it up before going to bed last night, but Rafael was busy with work until midnight because he was in the hospital most of the day. She couldn't sleep without letting it off her chest but found him passed out on the leather couch in the study room and didn't budge when she tried to wake him up.She couldn't wait until evening for him. She called Lisa instead. With the myriad of strong emotions since Friday, she didn't trust her thoughts and actions to be logical anymore."Am I asking for too much? I feel like a terrible person... like some attention seeking drama queen when he's alre

"Oh, my God! This place has my favorite Korean food. Have you tried this place before?""Nope." Rafael said, his lips twitching in a smile when he knew why she loved it so much. Everything on the chalkboard said spicy before the name of the dish."Allow me to introduce you to the best of the best!" She gestured dramatically while she ordered chicken katsu for herself and a beef bulgogi bowl for Rafael. He looked at her in awe when she placed the order in broken Korean."You love Korean food so much that you even learned to speak their language?""I love Korean food and language because I love K-Dramas. You have no idea how sad I was when Ji Chang Wook had to leave for some mandatory military service.""Who the fuck is that?" He pulled his phone out to see how good the actor looked. "Your jealousy fits are quite amusing." She pinched his cheek while he raised his brow at the google image search."Harry and Co. You won't be d

Rafael woke up feeling exhausted. His alarm clock said he still had an hour to go, but sleep was an elusive thing. It felt like the longest night in a while. He walked over to Ruhi's room and tried her door again.Hoping that she was getting the much needed rest, he sank into the chair in his study. He then texted Aaron to check if the doctor on call gave him any updates about his dad's condition.He had a lot of things on his mind, but there was a ton of work piled up from taking time off yesterday. Logging into his desktop, the first thing he noticed was the paparazzi's cooked up stories about "The billionaire daddy's outing with his missing wife and the crazy runaway ex-girlfriend."There were way too many articles speculating about his upcoming divorce from Ruhi. Some even went to the extent of saying that he was secretly married to Kimberley and hiding his heiress for safety. There was one appalling rumor that Antonio forced Ruhi to leav

A strange surge of relief coursed through Rafael. He felt all over the place without his dad around. Not being able to get to his dad before he went in for surgery bothered him a lot, wondering if he would never see him awake again."Whoa! Two good news right as we wake up. Dad is up and Lucas de Mello is dead! It was a mistake to have spared him when he cheated on us. I must be the fool to have told dad to spare him for Alisha's sake when I was with her." He squeezed Ruhi in a tight hug, feeling much better when she reciprocated his hug."Is dad completely fine? No complications anymore right?" She couldn't help feeling bad for Alisha's dad. He had been fighting death for weeks before finally giving up.Rafael didn't agree with her. He believed it was long overdue and regretted putting Ruhi's life in danger. Every time his eyes fell on the scar on her shoulder from the bullet would and surgery, he felt like a failure. His memori

"Wait, what?" Anna grabbed Rafael's phone from Antonio's hand."Oh, my god! It is him. You mean, my supposedly dead dad wants to claim me as his daughter after twenty two years? I don't know what to say. Where was he all these years?"She pulled out her phone to show the pictures of some old photos that she got scanned and saved in her gallery. Swiping through pictures of when her dad was in his late twenties and posing for a family photo while holding her in his arms, she was baffled how she didn't pay attention to the man who ran into them at the hospital.Ruhi moved closer to look at the Indian woman the capo got married to."He might have presumed you were dead too. Rafael and Ruhi made these connections only a few days back and we weren't even sure. And Dylan found out from our conversations... wait, where's that darn monkey Eva used to carry everywhere?" Antonio remembered only now that Dylan bugged the stuffed toy."Gone... To
