Rafael's POVI couldn't sleep well last night; my body was on alert knowing that Natalie was half-naked just a door away.I put my hands under my head while I was leaning on my back on the sofa, staring at the white ceiling. Memories of Natalie as a kid flashed through my mind, and I smiled. She had been such an adorable little girl. That little girl had grown up during the years I spent abroad.A sarcastic smile appeared on my lips as I accused myself, “You can't accept that the little girl who was once infatuated with you has grown up into a sexy woman who isn't interested in you. Instead, she likes other men, but you.”Suddenly, I heard the soft footsteps of someone walking on tiptoe. Her familiar perfume told me it was her. I closed my eyes, pretending to be asleep. When I heard her steps moving away, I opened my eyes. She was wrapping her body in a towel that barely covered her.Once I heard the movements of the water, I followed her to the balcony. She was swimming. I couldn't ta

Natalie's POV I felt awkward as both men stared at me blankly. What did they expect me to say?Rafael broke the short silence, his gaze furious as he stared at Jack. With gritted teeth, he demanded, "Why did you tell her that I'm here?""I didn't. She thinks maybe you're cheating on her. I swore you're not though," Jack said sarcastically, his tone tinged with frustration.I felt terrible. Why was I in this situation in the first place? I hadn't come here by myself!! I found myself here, and I didn't even know the reason yet.I hated Rafael in this instance. He put me in this humiliating situation, yet he acted indifferent, as if he didn't give a damn about any of it. He was quiet and cold, seeming like he didn't care that his fiancée was just minutes away!His demeanor was so calm that it provoked me even further.With an injured expression I couldn't control, I stood up, grabbed my handbag, and turned to leave, unable to bear the tension any longer."Wait!" Raf said, his hand reachi

Rafael's POVI fixed my eyes on Natalie who was Indulged, displaying the presentation on the big screen behind her. This was the first time I attended a preparatory side meeting. I saw the astonishment on my employees' faces, but I didn't care.She impressed me. She was discussing her presentation in proficiency. Her confidence, presence and eye contact while negotiating was really impressive. Even the sudden entrance of Jack and I did not affect her performance.I was surprised when she came out from behind the table to grab some more maps for the presentation.'For God's sake! What is she wearing? Or not wearing!?' I wondered in disbelief mixed with a hint of anger."In fact, Mr Merrin, I think the idea that gorgeous Natalie presents is genius. People love gossip, so we will give him that with a great show. They'll gossip and your products will be the most wanted and searched through the internet database” Markus said with a voice filled with admiration, grabbing me from my thought

Dear readers, Thank you for reading my book and give it a chance. Please don't judge this book from now, we are still in the very beginning. I know and I understand that some of you maybe hated Rafael, and became disturbed by his selfishness, but consider that he is a sick man. He is sadist, and this how sadistic people act. He is not a sadist because he wanted to, he has an internal conflict made him so. My male lead is not perfect. He has his flaws. He is a human being and has his own mistakes to learn of. But as I said, we're still at the very beginning, you will see the development of Natalie's character soon. Thank you again for your precious time. Please Vote and leave me a review and comment, I'm greedy to read your opinions. I love you all!

Natalie's POV The party day;I dressed in bright sticky red leather pants, and a silver top that showed my flat stomach. I lifted my hair in a ponytail and put on red lipstick similar to the color of my pants. I didn’t wear much makeup and I didn't want to wear a gown that would impede my movement as I was here for work, not for fun.The venue was teeming with celebrities and the business community. The first idea of the party was that it would be somehow limited to a certain number of the closest guests from Debbie's relatives and friends. Nevertheless, her father changed the plan, intending to announce the business cooperation between his company and Merrin Group.However, my job was to cover and reflect the romantic relationship between Rafael and Debbie to the world. To focus on the personal side of Rafael's life. This was what the audience liked to see and hear. Everybody likes gossip.I was a little anxious though. I didn't know how I'd ask Rafael to do and take intimate posit
