Caught In-between 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 61 - 챕터 70

ESTEFAN'S POVI went into my study after I helped Rhea move her stuff back to our room. My mind drifted back to the interview and I couldn't stop wondering why I said all those things about Rhea. I admitted they were all true but I wasn't ready to express that to her.After the interview, Esteban wouldn't stop teasing me that I had fallen in love with her. I was starting to like her, which I was sure of. But love, no way. There was no way I would fall in love with another Knight sister after the terrible ordeal I went through seven years ago.The sound of my phone ringing pulled me out of my sea of thought. Checking its screen, I sighed when I saw that it was Mr Darlington from Empire Fashion House calling."Hello," I answered with a cold voice. "Your Highness, it's been a while." He laughed but I could tell that he was nervous."Yeah. Is there something I can help you with?" "It's about the contract you agree to sign with us. I..." He started but I cut him off."I assumed that deal

RHEA'S POVBolting out of Estefan's study, I ran back to our room, closing the door behind me with my back resting on it. I placed my hand on my racing heart as my thoughts went wild. Why did he kiss me? No, the real question was why did I kiss him back? I could have pushed him away as I did in Hawaii but why didn't I? I hit the back of my head on the door, groaning at my stupidity. "Rhea, what is wrong with you?" I questioned myself. All he did was take responsibility for something that was his fault and redeemed my reputation, so there was no reason to let my guard down around him. Besides, it was only a matter of time before we get divorced and go our separate ways, so I needed my brain and my heart to cooperate with me to avoid having unnecessary feelings that could hinder my plans.Taking my hand away from my chest, I sighed as I walked away from the door to seat on the bed. As I thought about it, I couldn't help but wonder why he kissed me.Was he falling for me? No, that coul

RHEA'S POVThat afternoon, I wanted to prepare lunch myself but I realised there was nothing in the fridge, so we had to order room service. After the meal, I tried to convince Estefan to get some groceries because I wanted to cook dinner myself but he blatantly refused, saying he couldn't stress himself with trivial things like that. The most annoying part was that he didn't even have to go himself, he just had to send someone to get them for him, but that seems like too much stress to him.Cooking had become a hobby of mine since when I was young but I didn't get to do much of it since I entered the palace. I usually felt more satisfied with a meal when I prepared it myself. Since I had an entire suite to myself, I planned to use the opportunity to cook my food for as long as I was there. But Estefan refused to get me the foodstuffs, so I had no choice but to stick with the hotel service.I was sitting on the couch with my legs crossed and my laptop on top of it. My fingers had be

LEAH'S POVThe sound of a car driving into the compound caught my attention, making me climb down from the bed I was huddled up in. I knew it wasn't my parents because they didn't go to work that morning. I didn't know why nor did I care to ask, but it seems that they stayed behind for the person who just drove into the compound. I stood upstairs by the rail, looking down at my parents welcoming Rhea and Estefan with smiles on their faces oblivious to my presence. Estefan glanced up and our eyes met for a split second before he looked away. He said something to my parents before turning to Rhea and kissing her forehead. My hands tightened on the rail as anger coursed through before I made my back into my room. I laid back on my bed, trying my possible best not to think of those two but that seems impossible as the scene of Estefan kissing Rhea's forehead kept playing in my head.For someone who claimed not to want to get married, Rhea seems comfortable with Estefan touching and kiss

RHEA'S POVEver since the incident yesterday, Estefan has been breathing down my neck, asking me every minute if I was in pain and reminding me when it was time for me to take my medications. It got annoying because he was treating me like I was involved in a fatal accident and not someone who took a small hit on the head.At the same time, I was enjoying the experience of a sweet and caring Estefan. Sometimes when I look at how he behaves with me, I wondered if he was the same Estefan I used to know. I remembered clearly the first time we met in the palace when he accused me of trying to seduce his brother and the other time when he said I should feel grateful to him for bringing me out of my miserable life. It pisses me off every time I thought about those moments, but I decided not to bring it up again.The whole point of it was that Estefan has changed a lot in the few weeks of us being together. It felt like someone has taken over his body and the real Estefan was somewhere else
