11Veronica-----I could hear my heart beat so fast, sleeping this close to Rafael. This wasn't how I unfold the night going after having s3x. He was supposed to use me and abandon me, but he hasn't done that.Instead, he held me close to him, his arm sheathed protectively around my waist, my back resting on his chest, while he took a nap.His chest is so bold and comfortably warm, I could stay like this forever but I shouldn't.This was meant to be a nightstand, with no strings attached, we had S3x. Tonight was just S3x and it won't change, I snaked out of his warmness, removed his strong arms from me, placed them gently on the bed and stood up.I take a last glance at him and my heart tightened, remembering his words. "You are mine"I badly want to be, so badly. But it will only cause wrath between two families and most importantly Vickie will be so heartbroken.My feelings are nothing as long as the people I care about so much are happy. Maybe am a coward and selfish b*tch to Rafae

-Veronica-I bit on my lips, as I eagerly waited for my date. Luca Alberto, a perfect gentleman, so Vickie said and since he is so great, he isn't going to be angry at me after this date.Because I have no intention to eat a expensive meal with him, am ending this date as soon as he get here."Mrs Wayne" A thick voice said in front of me, and I looked up to the person and was stunned by the beautiful in front of me.God, he is so hot and handsome. The Italian business man Luca Alberto, is also tall, 6 feets, and have a body of an athletic, even the suit he is wearing couldn't hide it.He is so handsome, but admiring him doesn't mean am interested in him. It makes me want to end this date quickly, because seeing him makes me think of someone else.Rafael, we haven't talk since that night. What am I saying, I don't even have his number even though we had s3x. And am even more surprised he didn't call me, has he lost interest in me after that night?Or maybe he didn't has my number?'Wha

Veronica---I feel happy as I rest my head on Rafael's chest after the hot lovemaking, he caressed my hair, and I smiled. We say nothing to each other, but nothing needed to be said.This feels so good, maybe agreeing to this wasn't bad after all. I don't have to think about anything, just him and I.Not dad, not mom, Victor or Vickie. Thinking about Vickie, I remembered what she told me this morning."I heard you have a party, and you need a date," I said as he raised his head and looked at me surprised."How did you know that?""My sister, apparently your secretary Louise is her spy""Oh..." He replied, not surprised about what I said."That is it, oh?""I guess" He raised his eyebrows while I chuckled and sat on the bed, and he did the same."She is spying on you, shouldn't you sack the secretary for informing her about where you are going, and who you are meeting?""Why should I do that? Am already aware of it, a while after I hired Louise, and it doesn't matter to me"I looked at

Veronica---"What sacrifice did Veronica make for me? What is going on?" Vickie asked and both my mom and I freeze, when did she get here? and most especially how much she hears.Is everything finally out? Did she know about Rafael and me? How bad can tonight get?"Mom" She faced our mother, waiting for her reply, I stared at Rafael and he shakes his head. What was that for? Does it mean Vickie doesn't know or I shouldn't tell more lies?Whatever it is, I could tell it isn't good. Should I just tell Vickie everything, and confess to her, will that be ok?"Darling," My mom said and walked closer to her, as she placed her palm under her cheeks, caressing her face."It is nothing, what did you think your sister and I are talking about?" This is a trick, for Mom to know how much Vickie knows. Why didn't I see it? How manipulative she was? I thought Dad was the worst, but my mom is no good either.She manipulate me into leaving, claiming it was for Vickie. A small sacrifice to make Vickie

Vickie----I parked my car in the underground parking lot of Rafael's apartment and got out of the car. Today will make it three days since I heard from him, no calls, no messages, and he hasn't even come to work.It is so strange and cruel of him, even if something is wrong. He could at least message me, I have been patient, but not anymore. Someone is going to have to tell me something, am not heading into the penthouse because I know Rafael isn't there.Connor and Kai are going to give me something because am not going anywhere I know I don't stand a chance, but am not backing down."Vickie" I heard a voice behind me and I turned to the people, and my heart skipped a beat staring at Brad. I could feel my legs shaking when he reached me, could smell his sweet scent with a heavy emphasis on the base notes of the fragrance, manly and sinfully, his sleepy eyes locked on mine, before he looked down, scanning my whole body.He groaned and bit his full lips, while I watched and licked mi
