PART 2: TITLE: NOT YOUR REGULAR BILLIONAIRE.MANY YEARS LATER NOW FOUND ELLIE RESIDING AT THE COUNTRYSIDE WITH HER SON, RAPHAEL.This will be more of Raphael’s story and his love interest.******************RAPHAEL*One could begin with the waves from afar as I sat on my boat with two of my fellow fishermen.“Raph…I think you got one!” Arturo announced.I grabbed the rod and slowly reeled it in, watching as the salmon danced along the water's surface.I pulled it up into the boat and unhooked my line from the jowls, then tossed it into the bucket.Arturo and Conan came over as the two of us tossed the net into the sea.“Wow, as usual, you’re our good luck charm, Raph, look at those fishes, I can already smell the cash we’ll make from them today.” Conan said.I grinned.I do most of the work when we’re out fishing but I can’t complain, I loved fishing a lot, well not more than my mother, maybe a little more than my girlfriend.************************After selling off our catch for t

*RAPHAEL*“Making mistakes in my line of work is a big deal because we’re dealing with the lives of people. And that is why I can boldly tell you that there was no mistake in the DNA test.”.I turned to face the woman. “Are you sure you’re not in this with your doctor? Maybe you had him fabricate this because you keep insisting that I’m your son.”I almost wished I could take back my words by how hurt she looked.“Yes, I did something wrong by kidnapping you thinking you were my son who might not be in his right senses after his helicopter crashed and after that, I choose to ignore the differences because I just couldn’t imagined that my son was still out there…at God knows where. But then, I couldn’t continue ignoring the differences. It’s clear that you aren’t Enzo. I just thought it was impossible for you to look like him, facially and with a DNA test, I wanted to confirm that you might really be a doppelgänger of my son but now, I don’t know anymore…”She seemed honest.Maybe this

*RAPHAEL*Tears burnt my eyes. “To think that I’ve lived with someone like you for years is frightening.”“Raphie…I just wanted….”“Did you ever….you were never going to tell me the truth, were you?”She shook her head. “I…I thought I would never see Allegra again.““How could you have been so selfish?“She moved closer to me but I stood up.“I’m so sorry but you know I love you, right? I would…I just….”“I don’t know anything…I don’t even know you anymore.”I just had to stare at our pictures frames on the table, pictures we had taken together over the year, tears dropped from my eyes.It was unfair for someone to feel this kind of pain, this kind of heartbreak.*******************************Dante swallowed on seeing Grandpa Andre walking into the house.“Good day, sir.” He greeted with a bow.“Where the hell is Lorenzo?”“He…He…em…”How on earth was he going to explain that the person they found happened to be Enzo’s twin brother whom no one knew about until now?“Where’s Allegra?

*RAPHAEL*I walked into Enzo’s closet, Dante had gone off somewhere to vent about me not being educated.I stared at his suits and clothes.He has so many.Is it possible for one to wear so many clothes in a lifetime?I stared at his shoe rack and sighed.They looked so expensive.I walked over to where he kept his wristwatches.If I didn’t know any better, I would think he sells them.These were all his.I placed my hand on the glass and tried to imagine what my life would have been like if my mother had taken me away.I would have lived like a prince, that’s for sure.I thought about some of our memories together, she did treat me like a prince in her own way.Sometimes I try to understand her but it doesn’t take away the pain of being lied to for so many years.***************************Minutes later,!I’m sitting with Allegra and Dante at the living room.“I can’t believe she couldn’t send you to school.” She let out for the umpteenth time.“I wasn’t really interested in going.”

*MONALISA*He took his hand away and I leaned back on my chair as I watched him eat.He seemed different from the man I met weeks ago.This man in front of me seemed reserved, shy perhaps.I frowned.Men were hardly ever shy.I just couldn’t quite put a finger on what was strange about him.Or maybe I was only exaggerating, he survived a terrible accident so he was probably still coming to terms with everything again.And why am I trying to be understanding?He was just someone whom I will be sharing a house with, someone who will only be my fuckmate.I picked up my folk to eat.Deep down, I wish I wouldn’t have to be tied down with someone in marriage, it will be so annoying to put up with.“You’re really beautiful.” I heard him say and I lifted up my head to stare at him.He offered me a small smile.I hate a lot of things in this world and that included compliments.“I know. You don’t have to tell me.” I snapped.He opened his mouth to say something but then closed it and looked aw
