Veronica-----
When I left years ago, my family thought I left for different reasons. Vickie thought I wanted a change, Victor didn't really care, my father assumed my departure to another place was an act of rebelling against him.
No one really understand why I left, because no one cares to see what I was going through, not that I blame then. But I will be lying if I say I didn't hate them for a while, only my mom knew the reason I left.
To protect Vickie, to make my dad happy even if he had no idea, and to Victor I wanted to be a sister he will proud of. I don't want him to hate me, knowing that I took Vickie happiness from her.
But in order to do those, I hurt Rafael, I could have stayed and decided to do just as we planned but I didn't. I was a coward and care too much about my sister.
I hurt him and now he is here to do the same.
"Own me" I questioned as my feet became weak under his presence.
"You heard me, Veronica. And am not asking for your opinion on this, it either you complied or Vickie suffers"
My lips trembling at the sound of her name, and he smirked. Bastard, he knows exactly what to do to make surrender, but this time it is unreasonable.
There is no way, I will betrayed my sister by doing unspeakable sh*t, he want with me. I might have crossed the line with the kiss, but I won't go any further.
"Tomorrow morning" He mentioned bringing me back from my thought, his hand went to his pocket and he brought his card, and reached out for my hand and gave me the card. "If you don't call me by then, I will sincerely make it hard for you Veronica" He winked and move away from me. "Good night, princess" He said and exits my room.
"I gasped and fall to the ground with his card in my hand. Son of a b*tch" I cussed under my breath.
He disgusted me, how could he threatened me with my sister? I hate him.
Some part of me know that wasn't true, but I am so angry to agree with it, I crawled to my bed and picked my phone and dialed Natasha number, the only person I can talk to right now.
She picked at the first ring, giggling. "Someone can't stop thinking about me, if you know you miss me so much. Why leave?"
"Natasha" I called with a shaken voice and she could immediately sense something was wrong with me.
"Girl, what is wrong?"
"Rafael, he didn't forget. He never did, he is going to hurt me Tasha, and my sister too" I uttered almost crying.
"Ok, calm down and tell me what exactly happened" I did as told, explaining everything to Natasha.
"Wow, that is huge" She said after a minute of telling her everything. "So, was the kiss good?" She questioned and I swear I could hear her laughing.
Her words makes me lick my lips, and I remember Rafael lips on mine, God it was so hot. The way he kissed me, like he want to devour me.
"I guess, it was. Since you can't find your voice" She mocked while I rolled my eyes.
"Am serious here, Tasha. What do you should I do? I probably give him to his demand?"
"No, you aren't going to give him a call or accept his stupid fvcking demand. Let him do as he wishes, it is no longer your problem anymore. You have done more than enough for your sister, it is between him and Vickie" She said but she is wrong, it is my problem and it is between Rafael and me.
"But he is really going to hurt Vickie, it will bad if Vickie doesn't have a happy marriage life. She...."
"Shush, it is her marriage not yours. Don't do anything about it, girl. Just let it be"
I sighed as I looked at the flower on my bed, maybe Natasha is right.
It is no longer my problem, I can't keep trying to solve my sister problem, and am no longer with Rafael anymore but why does it hurts so much?
I feel so bad, because I can't help Vickie this time or because Rafael and I are no longer together.
The Next Morning____
I yawned and stretch my arms as I was woken by the knock on my door. I tossed the bedsheet away from my body, and stood up and head for the door.
"Good morning" A maid dressed in a white top and a blue skirt, standing in front of my door front greeted while I gave her a friendly smile.
"Breakfast is ready, your mother calls for you" She reported.
"I understand, I will take a brush and be there in a minute"
"Of course" She smiled and walk away, I closed the door and went to my bathroom, took a brush and went downstairs.
When I got there, everyone was already present at the dinner, waiting for me.
"Good morning" I greeted as I entered the dinner room and took a seat beside my sister.My dad sat at the head of the table with mother on his right and Vickie on his left. Next to mom is Victor, and on the left, next to Vickie, is me. The maids serves us pancakes and toast with butter and coffee, while Vickie was served a vegetable omelette made with egg whites.
"Morning darling" Mom replied and I smiled. Vickie and Victor also replied to my greets but my dad said nothing and just feed on his pancakes.
"Adam" My mom called, urging him to reply to my greetings. But he grunts and stared at me.
"We have to wait for you before we are even serve breakfast, that is quite irresponsible for someone who came back yesterday" He commented and my mom rolled her eyes, while Victor coughed and Vickie gave me sorry look but I don't care.
I didn't expect him to be kind to me, he has always considered me as a trouble maker which isn't a lie, but at least I try to fix my own mess. He hurt his daughter without even realising, talk about the father of the year.
"Am sorry darling, your father meant welcome back"
I scoffed as I took a bite from my pancakes.
"That wasn't a welcome back, but at least, she has done one good thing to be proud since she came back" He uttered and everyone turned their attention to him, including mine.
"What does that mean, dad?" Victor asked as he munch on his pancakes and sip his coffee.
"Your sister has a date to attend tonight, she seems to have capture the eyes of one of the man last night. Ruth Mayer's son wishes to have a date with her, if things goes well. Then your sister will get married soon, at least she is still uselful to the family"
"Dad" Vickie called at his harshness.
Typical father, he doesn't really care about what you want or wish as long as it benefit him in every way. Controlling, and if he can't control you. He eliminate you, too bad I am his daughter and he can't get rid of me.
He hates me, and I also do. He was never a good father to me, or my siblings.
The only reason he has no problems with them, unlike me, they are quite obedient.
"Adam, we talked about this. You should have at least give her time, she came back yesterday"
"That is why am doing this, because she came back yesterday. She should be grateful, l let her stay in here" My dad yammer at my mom, and the argument begins.
Both yelling at each other, it wasn't new to me. This always happens when am involved, they fought with each other, and things goes bad.
"The troublesome one, nothing goes right when am involved" Like father says.
The chairs squeak as I stood up and everyone turned to me. "I will go to the date, and also thank for letting me stay and for the breakfast"
"You are welcome" Father response, always with the last word.
"Veronica" Both Victor and Vickie called, I smiled at them and made my way to my room.
A date is nothing, it is even better. If it goes well, Rafael will stop bothering me and see that my sister is the right one for him, and I will get married to someone I have no feeling for.
It is for the best, all for the best.
Rafael----I tap on my desk, my attention hardly on my work, and my eyes fixed on my phone. It is past noon, which means it is past the deadline I gave to Veronica. She hasn't called me, and it is getting me pissed. If she thinks I wasy serious about my threat, then she should have thought this twice.If you don't call me, am going..... My phone rings, and without looking at the caller. I picked up the call "Hello?.""Hello??? You didn't check the caller before picking it, are you that desperate for her call" Connor with an arrogant scowl."Bastard" I hissed while he laughed. "Why are you calling?""For this reaction, I guess. I should have called earlier, had I known. She hasn't called you yet?" He asked and I sighed. Connor is the only one out of my friends, that I told about Veronica's return. He is my best friend and one of the people I trusted enough to tell about the messed-up things I can't even inform my parents.That is because he is just as messed up as me."No, she didn't
Veronica----"He is amazing, isn't he? He runs his father's company, despite having his own company. I heard that his friends and he built it from the trash, and it grows to be one of the biggest companies, in Wolfsburg, Crete Greece, Bloemendaal Netherlands, California and New York. He manages the one in New York along with his father's company, isn't he so amazing?" Ryan asked, looking at Rafael with admiration."Oh, my bad, am a huge fan of him and his friends, shall we?" He suggested and I nod, he lead me to our table and I took a glance at Rafael.Punishment? What does he mean?'"I love the Italian food here, one of Mr Rafael's friends Mr Kai aunty owns this place. Their food is amazing, so let me order for both of us, I am positive you will enjoy it" He speaks confidently bringing me back from my thought and I shake my head in agreement.Truthfully, I don't care about this date of a thing. No insult to Ryan, he has been nice but my mind is on all Rafael, even though I shouldn't
Rafael------I turned Veronica to me, waiting for her answer. For her to say yes, to make me ease her from all this, I know she want me, I could feel it. Her body heat, her eyes, they burn with desires and knowing they burn for me too, makes me damn hard for Veronica.I need her badly, more than badly. If only she could see how much I need her.I almost went crazy, seeing her with Mr Myers earlier, especially when she entered with that dress, if only she knew the story behind that dress.She thinks I brought the dress because I want to make things work between Vickie and me but she is so wrong.I never wanted Vickie and I still won't. If it isn't Veronica that will warm my bed, then no other woman will.I might not love her like I used to, but I want her, am crazy for her.She seems to be lost in thought, so I get on my knees and stared up at her. I raised my finger to her thighs and traced it up to her clit, she gasped immediately and looked down at me."Rafael" She called while I ru
RafaelThere were times when I just wanted this crazy world to end. I wanted doom on earth, to end my own life because I was broken, and couldn't be healed.But I met Veronica, the opposite of me, cheerful, happy, precious unlike me and fell in love with her, she was my junior in high school and seeing how she related with everyone and made them laugh makes me want her because I thought she could heal me.oTurned that sad lonely boy into someone happy, and made me feel and belong. It wasn't that I was lonely I have friends but they were just like me. Unhappy, maybe not that broken like me, but we all had our darkest secrets and pain we couldn't let out.For Connor, it was his mother who hurt him, and his wife who healed him.For Brat, he was an orphan raised by the horrible people on earth.To Kai, it was his abusive dad but lucky because he had his aunty to love him and his sister. Jude, well he doesn't talk to anyone about his sh*t, but we all know he is fvcked up just like us.And
Veronica----It's been a week since I came back from Vegas, and things haven't been good with my father, ever since that night, we hardly talk to each other. We eat breakfast together, lunch, and dinner and that is all and my mom has been complaining about us.None of us cares, and Vickie has been acting strangely since the night she went to Rafael's place. I could tell that something is wrong but she doesn't want to talk about it.Victor has been busy with his studies, and I am here in my room alone. I have nowhere to go, and all I do is talk to Natasha, but she is also busy and serious about her wedding planning stuffs.I can't even go look for a job, because my dad wants me to do nothing. Not like I ever listened to him, but I just want to be alone for now.A knock booms through the room unexpectedly, and a tiny shriek passes my lips.I stood up from my bed, walked to the door and opened it. I was surprised to see Vickie in front of me."Hey, little sis" "Hi, I wasn't expecting to
Veronica-----His deal was so tempting but I couldn't agree to his deal even if it is one time, it is considered betrayal."I can't" I whispered and looked down, he sighed and move away from me."Fine, do whatever you please. I won't force you but I won't give up" He said and I could tell he is serious and angry.The door opened and I heard Rafael's footsteps fade away. I sighed and after a few minutes, I went down and saw everyone at the dinner table."I thought you left" Rebecca joked when I sat between my mother and Victor. "I won't dare" I answered with a smile, a few words were said and we started eating. I glared at Rafael many times, but he won't spare me a glare.I guess I hurt him again, just like I always do. We were done eating and we move back to the sitting room after our dessert.A maid bring out some cups of glasses and filled each glass with wine. The maids give us the glass except for Vickie who had juice and they continue their conversation, Rafael and Vickie seat n
RAFAELI opened the door to my vacation house and escorted Veronica in. "Wow" She mouthed, observing the house."This place is beautiful and simple" She commenced while I scowled at her words."It is nothing special, just a vacation house given to me by my mom's parents. And believe me when I said, all my memories here are filled with horror" I declared and walked to where the bar, picked two glasses and a bottle of wine."Did your uncle also come here?"I poured the wine into the cups instead of answering her, I had no idea why I brought her here. I will have her take her to my penthouse but that will be too risky, and a hotel won't do also. I am popular, if our pictures are taken together, it will be a couple of minutes before it reaches everyone.But, I could have found another place. Why exactly did I bring her here?"You haven't told Rebecca? I could easily tell she knows nothing when I saw her tonight, she talked about him before you came and she was happy and proud of that mon
11Veronica-----I could hear my heart beat so fast, sleeping this close to Rafael. This wasn't how I unfold the night going after having s3x. He was supposed to use me and abandon me, but he hasn't done that.Instead, he held me close to him, his arm sheathed protectively around my waist, my back resting on his chest, while he took a nap.His chest is so bold and comfortably warm, I could stay like this forever but I shouldn't.This was meant to be a nightstand, with no strings attached, we had S3x. Tonight was just S3x and it won't change, I snaked out of his warmness, removed his strong arms from me, placed them gently on the bed and stood up.I take a last glance at him and my heart tightened, remembering his words. "You are mine"I badly want to be, so badly. But it will only cause wrath between two families and most importantly Vickie will be so heartbroken.My feelings are nothing as long as the people I care about so much are happy. Maybe am a coward and selfish b*tch to Rafae
