Chapter 118 - The talk again
Raphael POV
I tortured Hugo for hours. He is a tough cookie. But I am tougher and I can feel the pleasure it brought NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
me to bring pain to him. I need to know what he was planning and who was helping him. I found out
some of the outlines. He can’t keep this not speaking for long. Eventually, he will break. Everyone
breaks and I can’t wait.
After his capture, everything went quiet. Attacks stopped and the Spanish and British raised the white
flag.
Olivia has been in a bad mood and I can’t understand what is happening, she barely talks to me and
keeps herself busy when I get home. Eventually, I will go to bed and she only comes to sleep when I
am already asleep. When I wake up she is still asleep. I don’t know what to do anymore and that is
driving me insane. Has been weeks since we last had sex and I am starting to think she doesn’t want
me anymore.
Fuck. I won’t let her go. I rather die than to live without her.
Alex has been super intense with the interactions with me but I only do it with someone else present. If
she tries to get on with me one more time I will end up putting a bullet in her head.
“Hello love” - I say walking to Olivia as soon as I get back from work.
“Hi” - she says turning her back to me
I can’t take it anymore and I grab her arm making her stop and face me.
“What the fuck is happening?” - I ask her
“Why would anything be happening?” - she asks avoiding eye contact with me.
“You have been avoiding me” - I say placing both my hands on her waist pulling her to me.
“I... I just needed time to think” - she says and I can hear my heart skipping a beat
“Think about what?” - I ask her not really sure if I want to know.
“If we should stay together” - she whispers and that’s it. My heart starts beating fast
“What are you talking about? Of course, we should be together” - I let out in hope she listens to me
“Tell me the truth Raphael”
“Always”
“When was the last time you were alone with Alex?” - she asks and that’s when it hit me. Fucking Alex
happened.
“When we arrived. She came to see me in my office” - I say
“And why didn’t you tell me?”
“Because it wasn’t important “
“Why did she have your hand-printed on her neck?” - Olivia asks me and my heart sinks. She thinks I
fucked Alex and I didn’t.
“She pushed my buttons and I couldn’t stop myself but to grab her by her neck and put her in her
place” - I say
“That’s not what she said” - Olivia is now looking deep into my eyes as if trying to read me.
“That bitch” - I say
“Raphael, did you have sex with Alex?”
I let honour Olivia and I take a step back. I am about to lose my shit. Alex is going to pay for this.
“No. I did not fuck Alex. I would never touch another woman” - I say starting to pace.
“Raphael”
“What?” - I bark at her and Olivia’s eyes go wide.
“Why is she doing this?”
“She is a slut. I don’t care but she will regret this” - I say walking towards my office and I can hear Olivia
walking behind me.
Once inside Olivia closes the door behind her and walks to me.
“Why is she doing this?” - she asks again and I shake my head.
“She wants me, but I told her she won’t have me, ever again” - I tell Olivia and she puts both her hands
on my chest.
“Let me deal with her” - Olivia says and my eyes meet hers.
For the first time ever I see evil in those eyes. I see revenge. I see hatred. Olivia wants to deal with
Alex and I am not going to stop her. Because if I do I will end up killing Alex.
“Okay” - I say placing both my hands on her waist and pulling her to me.
My lips find hers and she finally melts in my arms. Fuck how I missed this.
I can’t explain how I feel right now. This woman makes me feel things that I can’t explain or express.
She has me wrapped around her fingers and I don’t think she knows that. How could she? I don’t tell
her enough how important she is. I don’t tell her as much as I should. This woman will be the death of
me someday. I will go to the ends of the earth for her.
I pull her closer not wanting this moment to end and hug her tight.
Olivia pulls away breaking up the hug the moment the monitor makes a spud and she looks down to
see baby Mel sitting on her cot.
Time is flying by and she is almost six months old.
Olivia smiles at me looking at our beautiful girl through the screen.
“I’ll go” - I say placing a soft kiss on the top of her head.
Olivia smiles and nods and walks towards our bedroom while I walk to Mel’s nursery.
She smiles when she sees me.
“Hey, you should be asleep baby girl” - I whisper and she giggles.
“God, you already have me all tangled up around you baby girl” - I say with a smile on my face.
I pick her up and walk to the kitchen to get a bottle for her. I know we are not feeding her during the
night but that’s the only way I’ll get her to go back to sleep.
After giving her the bottle she burps and falls asleep almost straight away in my arms.
After waiting for her to be deep asleep I put her down in her crib and look at her. She looks more and
more like Olivia every day.
“Good night baby” - I say and I walk out of the bedroom.
Olivia POV
It’s been a while since I was able to just stay in bed doing nothing. I like this feeling. Don’t get me
wrong. I love being a mom and I wouldn’t trade it for the world, but at the same time, I love this peace.
Just me and my books. It’s been a while since I had the time to just sit and read. With two kids plus a
step kid, it’s almost impossible to breathe let alone read.
Raphael walks into the bedroom and he walks to me.
“What are you reading?” - he asks while he gets closer to me
“Second chance” - I reply and Raphael smiles.
“Is it good?” - he asks while he grabs my reading glasses and book.
“You wouldn’t like it” - I tell him and he gives me back my reading glasses and book.
“I’ll be out in a second” - Raphael says blinking an eye at me. He walks to the bathroom and I take a
deep breath.
He always gets me flustered and horny. Unbelievable. How can he?
Raphael not long after comes out and I put the book and glasses on the bedside table. He walks to bed
and curls up next to me wrapping his arms around me pulling me towards his chest.
“So” - he says
“Yeah?” - I ask looking up at him
“I have been getting loads of invitations for galas and stuff that is happening here in New York in the
next couple of months”
“Yeah?”
“I need to start attending some and I would like you to go with me” - Raphael says
“Oh. You know the last gala I went to I ended up almost being raped” - I tell him. I bet he can tell how
uncomfortable I am feeling right now. I don’t know if I will be able to attend another one like that.
“I know love, but trust me, it will never happen again” - Raphael says while he strokes my face.
“You can choose the ones we go to and you can choose the charity we will be supporting this year” -
Raphael says and a smile appears on my face
“You support a charity?” - I ask in disbelief
“Of course I do” - He says as if it was something normal to do.
“I didn’t know mafia did charity” - I say while I giggle
“Mafia are the ones that support more charity’s”
“Okay” - I tell him rolling my eyes.
“There’s the New York fashion week, gallery openings, the MET...” - he says and that’s when my heart
skips a beat. The MET gala. It’s been my dream to go to that gala since I can remember.
“You okay?” - Raphael asks now looking worried
“The MET gala?” - I say while I sit upon my feet. I am know kneeling in front of Raphael. Raphael’s
smile goes wide and I can’t help but laugh.
“Yes” - he says
“Can we please go?” - I ask him
“Of course we can” - Raphael says and that’s when I get up on the bad and start jumping. I can’t
believe I am going to the MET gala.
I am so so happy.

Love
