Ruhi turned around to look at herself in the mirror when she tasted blood. Her lower lip was bleeding, and she was sure her neck was going to have at least five bruises. She could feel the skin tingling in several spots while her core was still on fire, feeling deprived of his closeness.Adira was flashing angry looks at her reflection in the mirror, but Ruhi ignored her existence for a minute to understand what just happened. Her face was a shade of deep red and she couldn't help blushing, despite all the confusion.She hissed at her sister when she broke the silence, interrupting her excited thoughts."How does it feel? Stealing someone's boyfriend, depriving them of the happiness they deserve?""What?" Ruhi turned around to face her sister. "Since when did you start siding with Alisha? You always like to take my opposing side, don't you? Doesn't matter who you support, as long as it isn't me.""I'm not talking about t

"Hell no!" Rafael said without blinking twice. He was sure he would do something stupid and she will stay mad at him for eternity.  Ruhi gulped in fear when she saw him shirtless. Now she understood why he wanted the heater blasting so high in such cold weather... so that he could roam around almost naked. She frowned at how low his waistband was before looking away. They fought indirectly more than twice last week about how cold she wanted her room to be because she liked to bury herself under extra thick blankets. The maid conveying the messages for them went crazy and called in sick the next morning. "Please... I don't want your bed. I just need you in the same room." The sky rumbled some more, and she looked at him with puppy eyes, hoping he would let her sleep on the extra foldable bed that she saw in the closet once when she was moving some of her stuff to his bedroom to confuse the maids.  To cope with t

Rafael was sitting at the desk in his Berlin office, looking out the window at the frozen ground sparkling in the winter sun. A little boy and his mom were standing on a faraway sidewalk wearing woolen hats. Each time ice crackled underfoot, the little boy's face lit up, and he kissed his mom's hand in delight.A gentle knock on the door brought Rafael's attention back to his computer screen. He checked his watch and resumed typing. His personal assistant, Khloe, set his coffee on the desk and took some files with her to the conference room where Rafael was headed to in a few minutes.'Dry and bitter, just like you.' Ruhi's words rang in his mind when he took the first sip of his morning coffee.It had been two days that he flew into Berlin with Khloe, and he mentioned Ruhi to her at least half a dozen times without knowing. When eating sushi at lunch the other day with his associates, he was thinking about Ruhi's&n

Antonio looked at Ruhi with a scrutinizing gaze to see if she knew what he was talking about."Y-you are rivals with them. But they k-kill... They go to kill? I mean, I'd have never imagined they would go to the extent of killing someone." Ruhi was so uncomfortable she couldn't form a proper sentence when she felt her father-in-law suspecting her involvement in the foul play."YOU WANT TO GET US INTO AN ACCIDENT TOO?!" Antonio yelled at his chauffeur for jumping a red light and almost getting T-boned by a Mazda CX-5. "No one asked you to speed like that. The chopper is still in the air."Ruhi, who was already very embarrassed about her sister's in-laws, wondered if Antonio wanted to yell at her but was using the poor driver to vent out.He had reasons to be mad. First, it was her dad striking a deal with Adira's dad against his business interests, and now, with them attacking Rafael, she was sure he was regretting this allian

Rafael got up to follow Ruhi and kiss her until she melted in his arms, but there was something else that bothered him ever since he returned, his grandma's complaint about the housekeeper's behavior. He had known her all his life, and she always had a solid reason to like or dislike people.After talking to the housekeeper and finding out that Ruhi was in her dad's room two days after he left town, he called his security unit to get a hidden camera installed in his dad's living room. He had one in his living room already because he never trusted anyone who helped around the house. His dad had ruled it off as unnecessary when Rafael suggested it to him several times.The housekeeper mentioned that it was on January 25th in the afternoon when she saw Ruhi coming out of his dad's room. It was either the same day or the next day that some information about tender responses and proprietary methodologies got stolen from his dad's office and passed on to
