YARA’S POINT OF VIEW
I lay in bed with the flash drive in my hand as I wondered what to do next.
I should find a way to somehow get the flash drive to the police but yet again I don’t know who is on Raphael’s payroll and who isn’t. I look at the flash drive which is the only key to Raphael’s downfall all his abuses and crimes are contained in this singular device, what do I do?
I was still contemplating on my next step when Raphael walked into the room, I quickly dropped the drive inside the cover of the pillow close to me. I tried my best to act cool even if I am so nervous.
“Yara, I am sorry, I really shouldn’t have captured your sister.” Raphael said, he looked… sincere, like he really means what he is saying. I really shouldn’t but I feel bad for yelling at him. He is sorry and he loves me, he might not be perfect but at least he is trying besides nobody is perfect.
I don’t know why I hate this soft spot for Raphael, I really should hate him for all the hurt and pain he has caused me and my family but somehow i cannot bring myself to hate him, somehow I feel this burning passion for him, all these years has gone by and I am still that dumb girl who is in love with this monster Raphael Fernandez.
“I love you Yara.” Raphael said. I don’t know what possessed me, maybe it’s because of how sure he sounds, I don’t know what it is but I moved closer to him.
“I love you too… daddy.” I replied. I wrapped my arms around him, I want him, I have never stopped wanting him…
“Do remember the first time we attended a party together as a couple, the first time we felt free enough to be together.” Raphael said in a low voice as he anchored me on the table and his hand went under my skirt into my soaking wet panties.
“Yes I…I remember.” I gasped, his fingers traced the length of my clit. I closed my eyes and moaned. He kissed me passionately on the lips.
“You looked so beautiful, so exquisite.” He said, my head felt cloudy, I could hardly see anything else in the room but him.
His fingers went in and out of my pussy
I moaned, gasped, called him daddy. He opened my leg more widely, his cock went deep inside me. I thought I was ready for the trust but somehow my eyes still widened in surprise when he entered me.
“You are loyal Yara, no one has ever had my back like you.” He said in between thrust and I immediately felt guilty. I had wanted to sell him out to the police so easily, oh my gosh I feel so guilty.
Raphael Fernandez is a good man, he just does bad things sometimes but don’t we all?
ZARA’S POINT OF VIEW
Delvin eyes stays on me as he sips from his wine glass, he does not even try to hide his stare. What is his deal! He asked her to marry him but for some reason he keeps looking at me?! I looked away.
Why am I even here? I shouldn’t be here, I should not be anywhere near Delvin, his father made it clear that he would have me killed if I get anywhere near his son, he told me to stay away from Delvin, I should really really yield his warning but I can’t, I physically can not, somehow I can’t stop thinking about Delvin, I cannot stop missing him, I cannot stop missing him.
I want to stay away from him, God knows that I want to stay alive but staying away from him feels like a death sentence.
I stole a glance at him from the rim of my wine glass, our eyes met, I locked away quickly. Maddison looked at Delvin with a frown and then at me.
“Let’s dance.” She said to Delvin with a smile on her face.
“I am not in the mood to dance with you.” Delvin replied not even looking at her. I don’t know why but I feel victorious, my mouth curved up in a smile.
“But we are engaged, you should want to dance with your future wife.” Maddison said.
“You would just be my future wife on paper, you and I both know that I do not love you.” Delvin said looking at Maddie with a hostile face.
“Zara would you please dance with me.” Delvin said to me.
I said nothing, why is he asking me to dance, he should be dancing with his future wife.
“Please.” He said again and I obliged.
When Delvin’s hand touch my back my whole body felt like it had just come alive, when we locked eyes I felt butterflies in my stomach, it took everything in me for me to restrain myself from tip toeing to kiss him.
“Let’s get out of here.” He whispered into my ear and then pulled me by my hand out of the hall, into his car. He drove off leaving his future wife standing there shocked and perplexed. She probably hates me right now but I don’t think I care.
I must be crazy because being with Delvin might mean loosing my life.
VALENTINA’S POINT OF VIEW
Desmond sandals is sitting on the chair that my Diego used to sit in, this annoys me, he has taken over everything, everyone here now obeys his every other without so much as an argument.
I stood up from the chair and stared moving closer and closer to me, he is so close that I can smell his after shave.
“I now own everything that Diego Fernandez used to own.” Desmond Sandals said. I frowned.
” his precious mafia is now mine, his once loyal subjects have now sworn their allegiance to me.” He added.
“I own everything that Diego Fernandez once owned, everything except from you Valentina Sanchez. You are the last piece I need for my conquest, you are the last evidence I need to show that I have defeated Diego.” Desmond said.
“I have a proposition for you Valentina, be to me like you were to Diego and your life and the lives of the ones you love will be a fairytale.” He said.
“Over my dead body.” I replied venomously.
“Oh there will be death if you don’t accept my proposal, somebody will die but it would not be you my sweet, it would be your dear dear sister Sydney.” Desmond sandals replied…
