"Are you enjoying the food?"Rafael asked her breaking the silence that have been in the large room since they started eating, she just nodded and continued eating, they were at one of those big dinners in Florida, what's the name again, Christner's Prime Steak & Lobster Orlando, Florida, their steak was top-notch, she could give a ten over ten to the chef, they were giving them a private service as they were the only one there, She sensed Rafael might have paid for the whole place, flex."Good to know, after this we will go home,"He said the way he said home made her think he wasn't talking about the penthouse they have been living in since they got married, this home was different."Aren't you going to ask me why we haven't been to the house I told you we will stay in together after we get married? We have been married going to two weeks now, aren't you curious?"She was, but she couldn't just up and say anything, she had to be careful, obviously, Natalie and he had talked about i

Rafael dropped his phone and looked out through the window, he had a lot on his mind but he couldn't do anyway with the thought that she was hiding something from him and he just couldn't figure it out, they had been married for over four weeks, four freaking weeks, still they haven't consummated their marriage, each time they get intimate, she gets scared and run, just what was she hiding from him? And how would he get through to her? He could tell each time that she wanted it to but something was holding her back, these past three weeks, he had tried to keep his hands to himself, and just give her the space she wanted but it has gotten to the point that he couldn't take it anymore, he has been calibate since they started dating and even when they got married, this is the longest he has gone without any sexual activities since he lost his virginity at eighteen, he might be everything else but being a cheat is not one of them, he was married so he would wait until she was ready no mat

“Natalie, look at me, I am not going to hurt you, okay?"He said holding her hands, he didn’t just get it, she knew, she knew he wouldn’t hurt her, he has been patient with her long enough."I know, I just,"She said and trade off when she couldn’t form the words out to explain why she couldn’t do this with him."What? Tell me,"He said softly.She looked at him, she didn't want to hold back anymore, she wanted him, wanted to feel everything that he was promising with those touches, wanted his hands all over her body, wanted to make love to him and feel him inside her, making her whole but."I am a virgin,"She let out, closing her eyes and waiting for him to mock her but he didn't. Instead, he carried her up and kissed her before dropping her on the bed. He smiled at her, not the response she expected but again, he surprised her a lot."You knew?""Let's say I kind of caught on but I was still in doubt,"She felt her face heat up in embarrassment."Aha, so, the thing is I might be a

The next morning, Nicole woke up to Rafael snores, this was the first time she was waking up next to him since they got married and she couldn't lie, it was the best feeling in the world, she caressed his face, he had the most perfect face she has ever seen, his eyelashes were long and gave him a calm feel, it felt so nice being this close to him, he was so not what she thought he was, he wasn't scary, he was thoughtful and understanding, not every man could go months without mating after marriage and yet he gave her enough time to get her act together and when they had met, he showed her just how beautiful their union is, she smiled and leaned down to kiss him softly on his cheek, he didn't wake up but smuggled close to her, holding her tighter, she let him, enjoying the moment but the beauty of the moment was ruined the moment she thought of this ending, if Natalie either comes back or Rafael find out how fake and unreal this was, he was going to hate her and she just knew it, she d

"That's not my wife,"He replied staring at the photo of the woman who looked everything like his but looked nothing like her at the same time, there was no way that was Natalie first of all he left Natalie at home a few hours ago and there is no way she would be in another country already, and also Natalie's hair wasn't bleached, and straightened, she looked like a different version of his woman, he was in his office and his secretary had brought in a photo of a woman who they claim to be his wife, since they haven't seen her outside in a while so they just have assumed she was vacationing in another country if he hadn't left his wife at home earlier, he was sure he would have fallen for it too, the resemblance was very much, maybe it was her twin because she was still not back from her travel, but she wasn't someone who would like the attention from what he had heard of her from Natalie so he decided to keep that part to himself."I could have sworn it was her, they look so much ali
