The Otherside Of Love || Sadistic Billionaire

Natalie’s POV

Being naked between the arms of the man who you loved was an amazing and indescribable feeling. I always dreamed of being in his embrace. But that dream turned into a nightmare, and here I was sitting before Jack after everything he witnessed. I have never been in such an embarrassing situation before.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t know that it was you. I mean, I never imagined….!” Jack stammered.

I squeezed my forehead, trying to find a suitable reply to his hidden meaning! I knew what he was thinking, and a headache was coming for sure.

He moved from his place and sat near me, his eyes were full of worry and anxiety. He mumbled, “listen, Natalie. l really like you. You are indeed a good person. I don’t know what happened to you both last night to end up doing together…”

I closed my eyes. I didn’t want to hear anymore. I know. I know exactly what he was thinking of me. I knew what he was going to say.

Rafael was an engaged man. Rafael had a fiance. I, by myself, organized their engagement party. And now, I was what?

How was I supposed to tell him that nothing had happened between Raf and me? Would he believe me? After what he saw, I don’t think so!

He paused for a bit like he was searching for suitable words to say and mumbled, “You wouldn’t be satisfied if a year of hard work to control Debbie’s father’s company so that Raf would take over the whole market ended because of just a one-night stand, right?!”

I nodded in agreement, I felt it was easy to end this conversation in that limit, better than telling everything. An unpleasant feeling washed over me, as if I were whore indeed though.

How he would believe me, we were both naked hugging each other. I was at his apartment. How do I explain things?Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

I will let that bastard clarify things to his assistant. He created this situation in the first place. I wouldn’t tolerate Jack’s overwhelming gazes at me all day long at work!

“If Debbie finds out that he cheated on her with you…” Jack added, raising his eyebrows, trying to make me understand without uttering the words.

Maybe Raf had regained consciousness by now and regretted what he was going to do. I cleared my throat, trying to be strong and reassured with a small smile, “Don’t worry, Jack. I’ll consider it as if nothing had happened, and I’ll forget this day.”

He held my hands and said in a strange tone, “I don’t want you to get involved with him, Natalie. That’s for your sake. You can’t ever afford what Raf needs. No heart for Raf to have mercy on you. You can’t expect anything from him!”

My eyes were full of tears. Am I this little in their opinion? It is true that my father is a simple man, as my mother told me before, but I consider myself Marrin’s.

However, I understood every word Jack said in the wrong way. I thought he was saying that I am not quite fit for Rafael. That he deserves someone who has a great family background like Debbie. But only days will make me realize what he ment.

Rafael’s sarcastic voice came from behind us saying, “We are married!”

Silence filled the place. I was shocked. Did he really say that or was it my imagination playing tricks on me!!?

The different expressions that appeared on Jack’s face made me confirm what I had just heard. He frowned, smiled, and looked between us. Then his eyes were about to pop out of his eyeballs!!

I think the tense atmosphere between Rafael and I made him believe what Rafael said.

I was more shocked than Jack though. Did he really break one of the contract rules just now?

Jack wiped his face with his hands and declared, “My mind blew out! Won’t you guys explain or say something?”

Rafael sat next to us, extended his legs on the table and said nonchalantly, “I don’t have to explain anything, and neither does she!”

“You didn’t know what you put yourself into, didn’t you?” Jack said to me with a frown, glaring at Rafael.

He sniffed when neither of us replied, “Does she know your truth!? She doesn’t know what she got herself into, doesn’t she?”

I thought he was talking about our situation as step-siblings. So, I decided to clear out everything for him.

Jack wasn’t merely a friend or personal assistant to Rafael. Their relationship was more than that by huge stages. They have been close since childhood. Brothers from the same flesh and blood won’t be as close as them.

He attends almost all our family occasions. As his wife, Anastasia, became our family’s friend with her adorable little twins.

So I felt it was convenient to tell him about the commandment and everything. I even told him that Rafael did me a favor by filling the commandment. I knew he wouldn’t spread the news if we asked him not to.

Rafael was staring at me silently, fixing his gaze on my face. That made me feel uncomfortable.

When I finished, Jack snorted and said “And what is the price for this service? To have sex with you whenever he wants? To be his slave?”

“Nah!” I screamed, and the red spread on my face. I stared at Rafael to support, but he kept looking at me in a strange way. I couldn’t tell what he was thinking.

“Say something!” I demanded.

“We never had sex!” He said in an indifferent tone.

“Then I came here at the right time!” Jack said while pulling his ringing phone from his pocket. When he saw the caller ID, he tensed up, his face darkened and said, “It’s Debbie. She called me in the morning asking why your phone was off!”

Jack answered the call. Rafael and I kept staring at each other silently! It was like he was trying to read my mind.

“Debbie is here. She will park her car and come up”, Jack said after he hung up the call.

The three of us stared at each other in a daze.
