CHAPTER 22— Gaslighting Raffi's Point of ViewWHEN I woke up the sun was high. I can feel my sweat now and I know, I don't have a fever anymore. When I looked at the sofa, Rock wasn't there. He was not in the room and I was the only one there. I spent a few moments before standing up and going to the closet. I'm sticky and want to take a shower. There is a heater so my body will not be shocked by the cold.From the time I started to the end, Rock still didn't come back to my room. It's not that he needs to come back here, but I just want to thank him because he's kind. He took care of me when my fever was high. It's just a simple thank you, I know he'll appreciate it, but I can think of something nice to do.When I left my room, Matilde was about to climb the stairs. We looked at each other. I don't know if I should pay attention to her or not. The way she looks at me is always so cold. I don't know if it's just me or others too."Are you feeling okay, Raffi?" she asked me.I was a l

CHAPTER 24— OutbreakRock's Point of View“THE disease that started in Groundland is spreading too much. Several children have been affected. Most of them are taken by life. What do you think is the root cause of why this epidemic has become so severe?” I asked my companions. I just received news that another five children have died due to the outbreak of a serious illness. If the adults are able to survive but not the other young."It just started with a fever until there was a complication. We agencies do not stop in knowing where it came from and how to stop that disease," said a director from the department of Health."Also some branches of the government are also helping."I was in a meeting and I was talking to more than ten officers. As I am the standing leader of Highland I am the one who should think about how to fight the disease that is spreading. I'm also uneasy because Raffi was also hit. Fortunately, his body was strong and he was able to fight it."Those in the healing

CHAPTER 26— Redwood's HorsesRaffi's Point of viewI COULDN'T help but smile when I woke up the next day. Because it entered my mind how and how many times Rock claimed me. Rock and I did it differently. Very passionate and gentle. He is not wild. I enjoyed it and I can say that the feeling is unique.Rock is not by my side. Maybe it's in his room. He is in the office so I understand why he left me in my room. A part of my heart was sad but I didn't make a big deal about it. That is okay with me. The important thing is that we had fun last night.Since I had no cover, I wrapped the blanket around my body. I smiled because the clothes I took off last night were on the floor. I just shook my head while picking them up one by one. My heart is very happy. Every time Rock claimed me, I felt complete. That there is nothing missing in my personality because Rock fills it up.I really have no regrets. I give myself to him wholeheartedly. There is nothing wrong because he is my husband.I'm no

CHAPTER 28—Sentimental ValueRaffi’s Point of viewI DON'T know how long I calmed myself down. I was very scared earlier while inside the Labyrinth and even though Rock is now with me and I'm safe, I still can't get rid of the fear.We are now in the living room with Matilde, Lando and Lora crying. She hugged her father who was just bowing.A maid handed me water and I drank it. "Thank you," I said softly."Lora, do you want to say something to Miss Raffi?" Lando asked his daughter. The little girl hugged her father tighter. She can't look at me directly. Lando looked at me shyly. "She is still very scared, Miss Raffi, but don't worry. Tomorrow when she is calm I will make sure that she apologizes for what she did to you."I couldn't smile. Because I can't accept that Lora can do that to me. I know and feel that she doesn't like me because of the attitude she showed even though I did everything to make us just friends. I didn't think that she would leave me even though I told her that

CHAPTER 30—Bond With FriendsRaffi’s Point of View"ARE you okay, Raffi? Why don't you seem restless there?" Naya asked. We are in the lobby of the hospital and just waiting for Doctor Lyndon because the three of us are going to have dinner today. Actually, we still have many friends who are our college's friends.A while ago I was restless because I was waiting for Rock. I also couldn't tell my friend that I might not be able to continue with the knaila because Rock is now on his way to the hospital to pick me up. I smiled sparingly at him. "Ah, Naya... I have something to say.""What is it?""Ah—”"Wait! There's Lyndon," Naya said suddenly so I followed where she was looking.I noticed Lyndon talking to a girl who is also a friend of ours. They even waved at us as we approached. I looked outside the lobby when I noticed a familiar car stop. I swallowed and got nervous. "Naya," I called my friend."Yes?" She looked at me.“Rock is also here.”"Huh? Where?” When she saw me looking out
