Semua Bab FOR HER SAKE: Bab 1 - Bab 10

RAFAELI chugged down a glass of liquor as I stared at myself in the bathroom mirror. “What a brotherly reunion” I muttered, rubbing the fading bruise on my lip.I would have very much loved to return those punches, but starting a fight there would not be to anyone’s benefit. And Amelia…I still remember the feel of her body in my hands, I think about it every night since then.She could have been from my enemies, she could have been someone sent to aid that measly attack. Why did she have to be his fucking fiancé?“She’s too good for that prick.”I wondered why she was at that park and how frustrated she must have been to let me fuck her. Well, I wasn’t going to let her forget me.I picked up my phone and tapped the call symbol, “Yes boss” he picked almost immediately.“Send her flowers… just her name… Yes. Do it discreetly.” I said and dropped the call.*********AMELIAEvery day since Rafael dropped me off, I would receive a bouquet of flowers immediately Ethan leaves the house alm

AMELIAThe car stopped in front of a mansion. The building was graced with multiple columns that elevated the look.Rafael stepped out from his side of his car and rushed over to open the door for me. He held my hands as we walked into the house.I gasped immediately we got in, words wouldn’t do justice to how the interior looked. “It’s beautiful.” I said finding it hard to look away.Rafael stood in front of me, forcing me to look at him. “I knew you’d love it.” He said and leaned in for a kiss.Before I could respond to that, I felt myself being swept off my feet into his arms. “Oh my gawd! What are you doing, Rafael?” I screamed giggling and held on to his neck for support.Rafael ran up the stairs into the bedroom with me in his arms. He dropped me on the bed, took off his shirt in an instant and stared at me, “should I rip this or would you take it off?”“Noo… it’s my wedding dress, it should be protected.” I giggled. And slowly took it off.Rafael stared at me with ravenous eyes

RAFAELSo… she heard.That was the first thought that hit me when Amelia looked at me with those calm and steady eyes. I had tried everything to keep Camille away from her, especially since she came back into my life a few months ago.Camille and I… we had a relationship back when I was abroad. It wasn’t perfect, it was messy, passionate, and consuming, but it was real. We hit a wall eventually. Things stopped working. So we ended it, or rather we tried to.Then my father summoned me back. Said there was business to handle, and of course, Ethan’s engagement. Amelia and I both couldn’t stand Ethan, that was one thing we had in common. But that day at the park… the way she looked at me, the way she responded to me, I realized I couldn’t let her go.She made me forget about Camille, even though it was just for a little while.And then there was the inheritance. My father’s ridiculous condition: marry Amelia, and I would be the favored son. The one to receive half of the empire, and Etha

AMELIATwo days after he signed his will, he passed on.Just like that, it happened so fast.Almost… as if he had waited and had held on just for that purpose, to ensure that our fates in the will have been sealed completely.His sons didn’t even pretend to grieve. Ethan, who had practically slept on the couch inside his father’s room all week, left the moment the will was confirmed and started visiting from home.And Rafael, he lost all pretense of control. Whatever civility he wore before now felt like nothing but a mask he ripped off the second he no longer needed it.I dropped the white lilies on his grave gently, the petals folding over his name like a farewell kiss.He wasn’t perfect. Sometimes I used to think his presence in my life was the very reason I didn’t have a proper family of my own.But today… I knew better.He had been the only family I truly had. He didn’t owe me anything, and still, he raised me like I was his blood. I was more his daughter than either of those two
