Extra Chapter 2 (Final part)

Married to the Bidder

Jealousy

The morning when I woke up, Rafael was no where to be found. Strange but this happened already. I turned to my side and got out of bed as I went to the bathroom to do something morning routine and then walked downstairs to check if Rafael was there.

So when I was near the end of the stairs, I heard a voice whispering...

I peeped and to see that it was Rafael, sitting on the couch looking tensed and he was talking to someone on the phone.

Actually whispering on the phone so I leaned closer and silently trying not to make a sound, so I could hear what they we're saying.

Rafael was laughing, happily and that causes my heart to drop on the floor as hear him like that. "You made me the happiest man alive that night, Gianna. Thank you." I clearly heard him say that making my chest to tighten badly. What does he mean by that?

"Yes, of course. She almost caught us last night too. I'm sorry for my wife reacting like that." He continued and each word he says are like stabbing me.

He sound so happy .

Why is that? Is this the reason why he suddenly felt bored these past few days on me.

He's cheating on me?

No, I refuse to believe that.

Fuck, what is that night? Don't tell me he went to that girl just to have sex with her because I can't give him that yet. Fuck, fuck fuck!

No! Rafael is not cheating on me. He loves me! Only me! He will never ever do that to hurt me.

"Alright, see you tonight at the Crimson Square. My wife might come down in a few minutes now, I don't want her to know about this. I can't wait to see it too. " he again replied, happily then ended the call already causing me to retreat and go back up the staircase and pretended that I didn't hear anything.

So what I did is I made my steps on the stairs loud enough to hear until I reached down. I saw him putting a suit on, oh so he is already leaving?

"Are you leaving?" I asked, fighting not to cry.

"Yes, I have an emergency meeting in an hour so I have to leave early and go to the office immediately" he replied then walked towards me to place a kiss on my forehead. "The breakfast is already served. I will just call you later" he stated before he walks out of the door and leaves me completely.

When the door closed, my knees just dropped on the floor. I know our conversation did not go well last night but I was too tired and I was unable to have a talk with him when he came to our room but is this his payment for what I did?

I kept on rejecting him and he got bored then look for another woman who are willing to give it to him anytime. Is this what he is doing behind my back? He just fall out of love? Could that be it?

They are meeting in Crimson Square tonight.

I must go there to find out why they are meeting and why does it have to be behind my back. I have to find out.

But anyway, I also have to go to the shop earlier today. Need to finish all the clothes for the magazine thing so I quickly got up and head to take a bath and dressed neatly.

When I arrived at the shop, Cole was already there and everything comes smoothly after that. I immediately start on the clothes I haven't finished last night and somehow I still feel bothered.

I don't know why. Maybe because I still haven't received a single call or text from Rafael and its already been two hours. He should be texting me now and asking if I already arrived at my work. I kept on checking my phone every minute and it is affecting my designs and my work. I am so not freaking used to this.

"Belle-"

Maybe he's just busy, Belle. Rafael can't just ignore me.

"Belle?-"

My husband can really be a little forgettable sometimes too. He must have forgotten to call me because he had so many works in his office. I was absent mindedly cutting a cloth as I think of reasons.

"Um...Belle-"

Or maybe he's not holding his phone right now because he is in a meeting and he can't be disturb.

"Yes, that's it! He is in a meeting!" I suddenly exclaimed.

"Belle?"

"What?!" I slammed the scissors I'm holding on my desk as I turn to my left to see who was that who kept on calling me.

I suddenly jerked when I saw that it was not only Cole that is standing in front of me but a middle aged man in expensive suit stood behind him causing me to gain my posture and hid both of my arms behind me.

Cole cleared his throat before speaking "Mr. Walter, this is the Mrs. Isabelle Knight, the owner of Golden Belle and the brain of all designs." She introduced and I just stood there looking at the man.

"Oh, Mr. Walter!" I jumped and shook hands with him. "Hi, it's nice to finally meet you." I smiled at him to avoid the embarrassing greeting I did.

"Very nice to meet you too, finally." He stated in a very low and manly voice. His hair is a little grayish, his eyes we're blue and his face is almost covered with his beard but still looks extremely rich. "Mrs. Isabelle Knight? Are you somehow related to Rafael or Roberto?" He asked.

Jeez, thanks for making me remember him again.

"Rafael is my husband, Sir." I replied, keeping my smile.

"Oh, so you're the lucky girl that everyone was talking about." A wide smile appeared on his lips and laughed loudly. "My daughters are so in love with that man and nearly killed themselves when they found our that he already got married, secretly."

I let out a small chuckle "Yeah, I received so many death threats when he introduced me to the public." I halfly lied and then tried to change the topic and out of the Rafael thing. "So, um...thank you by the way for trusting us to make your outfits for the charity ball."

"I knew I could trust Cole and his men but then when I heard that he will be working with you, the new famous designer, I just snapped and want the both of you because I know how amazing you two are." He replied looking so sure of us.

Cole laughed "You can count on us, Mr. Walter. You can trust Belle and I and we're sure to never disappoint you."

Mr. Walter smiled once again "Good." He said, "I just came here to check you up and I saw that you are working on some clothed to sell to so...are you two okay this Monday? For the measuring of gowns and suits to me and my family?"

Cole and I looked at each other before replying together "Of course."

"Great. So I'll see you on Monday, dear one." He told me, placing a hand over my shoulder and then shook hands with Cole again before he then to leave the working place with Cole escorting him out.

He seems to be a nice guy, doesn't he? Well, he put some of the money he owns to the charity and help people who are dealing with cancer.

Tsk, that is so far greater than spending them in an auction.

Damn it, here I am again.

Can I just move on from that topic? Rafael and I are fighting right now because of that and because of that stupid ex girlfriend he got. God, it irritates me so much just remembering the conversation last night with her. She talks to comfortable to me like we were some friends and heck, she had the guts to laugh with my husband in front of me. Uh, my blood is boiling in anger. And why do Rafael had that smile in his face while talking to her?! He is only allowed to smile like that in front of me! Damn, that bastard husband of mine.

He's lucky, I love him.

"Hey Belle." I heard Cole's voice.

"Yes?" I arranged myself and tried not to look bothered.

"Are you okay?" He asked, worried in his tone as he stare into my eyes.

"Yeah" I avoided eye contact because I don't want him to know about my situation right now. "So, shall we start our job? I have a few of designs here I want to show you if you agree to it" I told him and invited him over to my desk to show him what I was doing.

He likes the dresses that I have done so what we have to do is to bring those drawings alive and make them some amazing clothes that I will be proud of. Cole said that this will be enough for our collection, because we had made enough clothes and we will start making it. We have to do this how so we can take care of the things to the Walters.

Well this is good. I have something to distract myself from my personal problems. It should not be affecting my job.

Wake up, Belle.

I tried my best in the whole work hours and concentrate on my works. Luckily, I've been doing well, we finished all the clothes we designed and they are all placed in a mannequin. Finally, after all the hardship has paid off. I can't help but feel proud of the works that I have done. God, this feels amazing.

We decided to call it a day and then tomorrow are the photoshoot for the magazine that are gonna feature our clothes. I checked my phone that was inside my office if there is some text from Rafael but sadly, nothing.

The heck!

He carry off this da without even asking how I was doing. Why? Because he has his Gianna now. He had someone that will entertain him that should be my job and not her. I was gonna hop in my car when my phone vibrates and I quickly looked at it if it is from Rafael...

False alarm, it's not him but Catalina.

From Catalina:

Hey Amiga, I'm finally in the city today! Lets meet up? The usual favorite place? :)

I can't help but the text and the thought of my friend in the city makes me so happy. I just want to see her right now and hug her. I just need her warming advises.

God, I so badly want to see her again!

I quickly drive to the cafe shop that we always hang out when we we're still working together because it is so near our apartment but they do have the best coffee that was ever made. I wonder, what does the apartment looks right now? I haven't seen it since the day I left to study out of the country.

Well, whatever happens to it. I don't care anymore. That place is so unfair to the boarders. But also, who cares? I'm happily living in our penthouse and don't want to remember anything from the past including this.

I arrived to the place and I entered the restaurant as I search the entire room to look for Catalina. Then my smile widens, seeing her on the table at the window and she also saw me causing her to grin and stood up from the table and opened her arms for me to come.

I wasted no time, I ran to her and hugged her with everything I can. I don't care of my surroundings, if they are looking at us and saying that we look idiots. I just want to hug my friend right now and show her how I miss her so much.

"God, Belle you look so different from the last time I saw you before you left to study." She was astonished.

Well me too. "Me? Its you who is so beautiful. Love made you so radiant." I told her.

"Love made me happy, Amiga." She spoke smiling, and I can see in her eyes how happy she is. "And now I can feel what you felt before. How you fight for Rafael."

"Yeah. Love really is the best feeling that I should really hold on to " I spoke quietly "I'm really happy that we meet tonight, my friend. So much"

"Me too, sweetie. I can't take it. I have to check my best buddy how she was doing." She said, as we finally sat down. "So, how's life going on? Oh Congrats on the success of Golden Belle. I'm so happy for you"

"Thanks, Catalina. But I couldn't do it without the help of my sister and Rafael. They had pushed me for this" I replied, chuckling "How about you? Are you working on something right now? A job?"

"Actually, my husband doesn't want me to work yet. He only wants me to stay in our house." She crinkled her nose "And like fuck, I would agree on that. I don't want to rot in there while he goes practicing for his basketball games."

"Maybe he only wants for the best for you. For me, I think it is very sweet of him. He doesn't want to stress you."

She just rolled her eyes, disagreeing. Then the waiter came and gave us the menu list but I don't need that anymore. I've been eating in this cafe since the day I started to work as an entertainer "I'll have your blueberry cheesecake, chocolate lava and your cappuccino, please" I ordered with a smile.

Catalina was telling her order to the waiter, my phone vibrates and I took it immediately, hoping that this is Rafael.

From: My Hubby

I'm in Anderson right now and it was an emergency meeting. I'll call you later. You don't have to wait for me.

Anderson? Fuck, that is almost miles away from here! He went there without even telling me? This is getting absurd. But I thought he'll be meeting with that Gianna tonight in Crimson Square. Could that be a change of plan? No, I don't think so. But why not answer my calls and not even bother to call me back? He just gave a three sentenced reply and does he really think I will be satisfy in that reply? God, if he is really cheating on me then he got to be better than that. But fuck, he is not cheating! I know how much he loves me and I trust him with all of my heart.

"Belle? Are you alright?" Catalina broke my thoughts.

"Yeah." I snapped out "Were you saying something?"

"Nothing. You just suddenly starts staring at your phone." She responded, with her eyebrows frowned. "Is something wrong?"

I quickly shook my head "Nothing is wrong, Catalina. I promise."

But she doesn't look convinced but she raised an eyebrow at me then he sigh "Okay, tell me what's wrong" she murmured, softly and placing her hand on the table.

"What?" I asked, pretending like I don't know what she meant.

"Something is wrong with you. Tell me, sweetie." She said "I know you, Belle. Lonely, afraid, scared, bothered or depressed are all clearly shown in your eyes and right now, I see that you are tired and kind of scared of something."

I blinked and looked down on my hands that was on my lap "Actually, I'm gonna be honest with you, Catalina." I sigh before I continue "My marriage life with Rafael has been the best thing that ever happened to me in my entire life and as a married couple you do experience ups and downs..." I paused.

"Did you two get into a fight?" She guessed.

"Yep. But just an argument and a little misunderstanding." I replied, chuckling weakly. "But these past few days I kinda felt him a little distant and always bothered. In someway he is gonna be sweet and lovable then the next day, he will just be a boring guy who drowns himself at work so...I don't get it."

"So you're sexually frustrated?" She raised an eyebrow.

My eyes widen in surprise and shook my head. "No! Of course not."

"He spend a lot of time in work causing for him to forget that he has a wife waiting for him to open her legs" her dirty mouth is on again and she just laughed loudly.

"No! Catalina stop laughing!" I pouted. "Because...nothing is still happening between us" I mumbled silently but she suddenly looked at me shock.

"You're kidding me, right?"

I shook my head "Nope. I'm still a virgin wife."

"What the fuck?!" She just blurted out causing everyone to look at us and she just ignored it. "You clearly became selfish to the poor guy. C'mon, Belle. Sex is the most important part in a marriage love."

"Wait! Not sex but love is" I corrected.

"Yes that too. But if a married couple is sexless then there is a lot of changes that the guy will...try another one." She raised an eyebrow.

My mouth suddenly shut. "Y-you mean, he will cheat on me?"

"Yes. There's a huge possibility."

"But he said he will wait for me." I responded.

Then she scoffed "Honey, all men do that to the woman they love if they are still teenagers...not in married couple. He's your husband, for crying out loud!" She gasped. "The poor guy might really wait on you but do you think how long will he can to wait for you?"

I didn't know how to answer that.

"Belle, listen to this...in a men's life, they will survive as long as they have three things." Catalina leaned closer to the table "Home, clothes and sex. They are not men if they don't have those."

"But..." I softly mumbled and my shoulders dropped, feeling a little guilty. That could be why Rafael choose to go to Gianna. Because she must be game on to activities like that. "I'm scared."

Catalina sigh and looked at me, sincerely "Honey, I really believe Rafael loves you to the point that he is gonna wait for you. He gave you so many things and he has given you all you need. Why not give him what he needs, eh?"

Damn, I can't believe I'm talking about sex here in my age. This is unbelievable and so terrible of me.

"And I'm sure that Rafael won't cheat on you. That man loves you with his whole heart and he is ready to sacrifice everything just for you so...it's also up to you." Her voice became softer. "Think about it and hold on to your husband. You're strong and don't just get your fear get to you. And if you are remembering all the bad things happened to you when you're a kid, forget it all and move on. That is in the past and Rafael is your present and future. Remember that. Be strong, Amiga"

Every word that Catalina says went to me directly. I really feel guilty. I only think of myself in my little fear and totally forgets about Rafael. I'm so stupid.

"Thank you, Catalina. Yours words always helped me." I smiled at her and chuckled.

"No problem, Belle. You know that I can always be your family." She smiled back and that exact time, our foods arrived.

Now I only have to deal with that Gianna for messing up with my man. She must ready her hairy butt to me because I'm kicking it.

~~~~~~

When we finished, I was searching my wallet inside my bag and I noticed it was not there. How could it not be here?

"Amiga, don't bother. I was the one who invited you here so I got you here." Catalina told me as she handed the bill to the waiter. "What's going on?"

"I can't find my wallet" I said, as I searched my bag again. Then I stopped when I suddenly think of the place where I last used it.

It's in my office when I told my assistant to buy some foods that I will share for my crews since all of them did a great job so I just give them a little break and bought some pizzas, fried chickens and salads. But I didn't even took a bite because I'm still not in my right mind that time, worrying about Rafael the whole day.

"Did you left it somewhere?" She asked.

"Yeah, I think I left it in my office." I replied, taking my phone to call my secretary but at the exact time that Cole's name appeared in my phone. "Hello?" I answered.

"Hey Belle, sorry to bother you but your secretary handed me your wallet. She said you left it in your office."

"Yes! God, thank you so much." I sigh in relief making me palm my forehead "So careless of me. Do you have it with you?"

"Yes, I have it with me. Do you want me to give it you there in your husband's hotel?" He suggested.

"No!" I quickly answered "I will come to you. Where are you?"

"I am actually on my way to Crimson Square to pick up Gianna." He replied.

So she is in Crimson Square right now. Could that mean that she meet up with my husband? But he said that he is in Anderson. But only one way to find out.

"Okay, I'll be there in ten minutes" I told him then ended the call.

"Who was that?" Catalina asked as we both stood up and ready to leave the cafe.

"Oh, my partner right now. I left my wallet in my office and he has it." I replied then when I reached in front of my car "So, I'll be going now, my friend. I hope we'll meet again. And say Hi to Angelo for me." I hugged her and she kissed me on my forehead then I hopped inside my car.

I gave Catalina one last wave before I drove off. She has her own car so she will go home after I left. So now I am on my way towards Crimson Square.

When I reached the place, I parked my car first then head inside. The Crimson Square is actually an open mall. I searched around the place, trying to look for Cole but it is kinda hard to fins him in this kind of crowd because there are a lot of people here.

"Belle!"

I heard someone called. Turning around to look where the voice are coming from and then there was Cole.

I walk towards him with a smile.

"Here." He brought out my orange wallet that I designed and made. "Check your money and credit cards"

I opened my wallet and nothing was gone so there is nothing to worry about. "I am so sorry for this, Cole. How careless of me and I even bothered you."

Cole chuckled and put a hand on top of my head like he was patting me. "Don't worry about it. I don't have something to do so this is surely not a bother."

"Thank you so much" I smiled at him and sigh "Where's Gianna, by the way?"

"Actually, I don't know. I've been walking around for almost 20 minutes and I can't even see her own shadow." He replied, scratching his head.

"I was gonna look around the place. Wanna look for her along the way?" I suggested since I will also be looking for Rafael.

"Sure." he agreed then we walked onwards. Where could Rafael and Gianna be? This place is not that big for us to play hide and seek.

"So are you and Gianna...lovers?" I asked, softly.

"Nope" he quickly replied, with a laugh.

"Ex lovers?"

"Nope."

"Friends?"

"Only friends."

"Friends with benefits?"

"Heck no!" He blurted out giving me the surprised look.

"Does she have a boyfriend at the moment?" I continued.

He paused for some seconds probably thinking for the answer "Actually, from what I know there is nothing but I kinda noticed that she is in a conversation on the phone this past few days and she is hiding it from me and don't want to tell me."

Okay, that is one evidence.

So she and Rafael had been talking behind my back for a couple of days already? Are they insane???

Then through the crowd, I've noticed Mike, Rafael's trusted secretary or right hand, leaning on a post and looks like he waiting for someone and I can assure that it was Rafael.

I quickly walk towards him, l leaving Cole behind and just stomp my way to him "Where's your boss?"

Mike looked shocked and was unable to answer quickly "Mrs. Belle, what are you doing here?"

"Am I forbidden in this mall?" I talked back, coldly.

He quickly shook his head "No! Of course not, Mrs. Belle. I'm just surprised to see you here. Are you with someone? Did the boss know that you're here?"

"Your boss says that he is in Anderson and I'm sure that he wont  go there without you on his side. So where is he?" I started to became angry. He is definitely hiding his boss from me.

"Is something wrong here?" Cole questioned behind me. Then he place a hand on my shoulder "Hey, you're shaking. Calm down"

I was gonna open my mouth when two familiar faces came into my view.

Gianna and Rafael together.

My eyes widen in shock and surprised. Cole seems to froze when he saw them together. It was clear in Rafael's face that he is not expecting to see me here and his eyes darkens when his glance turns Cole then lowers to his hand that was on my shoulder.

"Gianna..." Cole spoke first breaking the silence the, his voice was low and deep like he is being serious then he strode towards her and grab her arm tightly "Lets go."

"What?" Gianna also looked shocked then made a glimpse to Rafael making me got angrier then she just get carried away by Cole as they disappeared in the crowd.

Rafael was now giving me the look that he is known for. Which is the deadly one but heck, he is not scaring me with that! If he is angry with me then I have every right to be angrier. This asshole, who does he think he is?! God, I don't want to face him right now.

I turn my back at him and started walking.

"Where are you going?"

"Away" I hissed at him. "Somewhere away from you!"

"Belle, come back here." He demanded but I just ignored it. My car is this way so I'm not going where he is. Fuck, I'm not coming with him.

Then all of a sudden, I was swift off my feet and got carried on Rafael's shoulder causing me to scream and people stare at us. "Rafael! You asshole put my down this instant"

But he didn't bother to speak and just head outside where his car awaits and Mike in the driver's seat. People are looking at us already and might be thinking that we are crazy. He put me inside the car like I'm a sack of potato and locked it before I could try to run. God, this is so frustrating.

"Let me out!" I slammed on the window. "Fuck, Rafael get me out of here. I have a car so I can go home on my own!"

"Shut up, Belle." He ordered, God that scared me a little. "Mike, once you got us home, drive back here to get her car"

"Okay, boss" he replied and drive off to the road on the way to the hotel. God, this is so irritating and annoying as fuck. I just crossed my arms and looked away. The car was covered with silence and I just want to scream right now and curse them with everything. We reached the hotel and the car stopped at the back where there is a way there to the private elevators to our penthouse. I quickly got out of the car and hop inside one of the elevator, leaving him behind while he was talking to Mike.

I know Rafael will use the other elevator but that is why I went up ahead so he won't be able to get me right away. I have to get into my room immediately before he could catch me up.

But as soon as I stepped out of the elevator, he was already there! How could he do that?

"How...?"

"I'm the owner of this hotel, Belle. I know how to operate everything here." He coldly replied, and walked closer to me. "Why are you with that man?"

I raised an eyebrow at him and scowled. He has the guts to lie to me and be angry at me like this is my fault. Heck, I wasn't the one who was caught red handed!

"Me? Because I met up with him! How about you? Why are you with that stinking squid?!" I snapped, trying to make a bitch face as much as I can and not to break down in tears. How dare he lie to me of being in Anderson while he is only here meeting with his ex girlfriend!

"Be careful on your words you use, Belle" he harshly snarled, fighting not to burst out in anger.

I scoffed and walked passed him because I swear I'm gonna say things that I don't want to say and he doesn't want to hear from me.

But Rafael caught me immediately and suddenly pushed me against the wall and he was pinning me with his both hands. "Rafael~"

"I told you to leave that man! Then why the fuck are you with him?!" He roared, the anger is clear in his face.

But this is not about me. "Don't turn the topic on me, Rafael. You we're the one who lied to me in being in Anderson but you are there in Crimson Square meeting up with your fucking ex girlfriend!" I shouted, "Now, you tell me why are you with her?!"

He gritted his teeth and somehow he is like holding back the beast that was trying to come out "I just had some deal with her, Belle. You don't need to over think things that is not true!"

"Over think? Rafael you met up with your ex behind my back! You dared lie to me! Why, do you think I'm an idiot enough to let this pass!"

"No!" He quickly replied, loosing his hold on me. "Belle, we are not doing anything wrong."

"Really? I just caught you two together and you meet up without telling me —Oh wait, I'm just your boring fucking wife so you don't have to tell me that" I turned away from him, tightening my first. "Is she that good in bed?"

Rafael quickly turn his eyes on me with his eyebrows frowned "What are you trying to say, Belle?"

"Is she good in bed?" I repeated, deepening every word  as my voice starts to shake.

"Belle, I'm not cheating on you." His face changes, as he walked to me with a different expression.

"Yeah? God, you're a guy, Rafael. You haven't touched me since we got married and you have needs...it's hard to believe that you stayed celibate just for me." My voice was cold.

"I won't touch other girls, Belle. Because I love you. " he said sincerely.

"Then tell me, why are you with her?" I raised my head to face him and come eye to eye with him. His eyes shows like he was asking for forgiveness.

"I-I..."

"Why are you with her?!" I asked, louder.

"I can't tell you yet." He spoke, in gritted teeth. "I'm sorry."

Then tears started to roll down my cheeks and blurt out something that I don't want to say. "I hate you."

Fuck, that just came out of my mouth. Wait, I didn't mean that. I want to take it back but I can't. My emotions are overpowering me.

Rafael seems to hear me causing him to look at me angrily, like he is gonna punch me but no. What he did was he turn away and head to the elevator and left.

Leaving me alone in our penthouse.

What the heck.

He just left me here. How dare he.

But why can't he tell me why they are meeting? Is is that secretive? If he is not cheating on me then I don't think of any other reasons for him to hide something from me.

He is being selfish.

Why won't he tell me, I'm his wife by the way. He doesn't have the right to lie to me because I for sure don't hide things from him. Because I can't.

But at the time passed, it's already been hours since he left me here. I already took a bath and he is still not here.

So I got down to the balcony, only in my bathrobe and hugged myself as I felt the cold breeze of the night. Where did he go?

Did he went to Gianna? Is he that welcomed in her bed? Fuck, I slapped myself and stopped the thought that was coming into my mind. I don't want to think some nasty thoughts about my husband and Gianna together in bed. Heck, I will really kill that woman if he dare to mess with me. No one messes with me so I won't let her have Rafael. My husband is mine only.

My phone started to ring and I saw that it was Don calling...

"Hello?"

"Hey, calm down, boss. We are not your enemy here."  That was Scott's voice.

"Belle, are you there?" It was Don.

"Yes, what's happening there?" I asked and why is it so loud?

Don sigh before replying. "We are in a bar. Your husband is causing havoc here. He told me he left his phone there so I decided to call you."

Shit. What is that man even thinking?

"Put that down, boss! We don't want any trouble! Shit! Don't cause a fight with that man he's huge"

Damn, Rafael is really messed up right now.

"I guess I don't need to explain anymore. You know what is going on here" Don simply explained. "Talk to him. He can only as lunatic like this when it comes to you."

I swallowed hard and tightened the hold on my phone. "Okay. I'll be waiting for him, tell him that."

Then the call ended.

I took a deep breath and just held my phone tightly near my chest. My husband and had a lot to talk about right now.

I waited for him to come back and it took just a few minutes when I heard the elevator dings and there comes Rafael with his hair messed up, his suit was wrinkled and his face looks tired. I sigh then slowly walk towards him and he seems to be surprised to see me.

"Don called me. Are you drunk?" I asked him.

He shook his head "No." Rafael walked passed me before saying "I'll just take a bath" he said then head upstairs.

Yes, he is not drunk but he smells like one.

Wait, Don said that Rafael left his phone here but where could it be. Maybe in the living area since this where he was when we had our elevator moment.

I quickly saw his iPhone on the coffee desk and took it then I noticed that it has a text message.

From: Gianna (Jewelries)

Hi Rafael. Good luck for giving the ring. I know you're a good husband.

Wait, what?

What ring? And good luck? What is this? What is the meaning of this text? My eyebrows touched in confusion as I read the text over and over. I place it down on the coffee desk again and head upstairs to our room where I assure where Rafael is bathing.

I sat down on the bed and waited for Rafael to finish. Shit, why do I feel guilty? Is this my fault? Yes, for saying that I hate him, it is my fault but if he didn't just lie in the first place then none of us will be angry about. He is making this complicated.

I inhaled deeply once I heard the shower stopped. Okay, here he comes.

The bathroom door opened and Rafael stopped when he saw me sitting on the edge of the bed. But then he just walks and head to our walk in closet. He is still mad at me.

After five minutes, Rafael came out in a simple blue cotton shirt that hugs his body perfectly paired up with his pajamas and damn he looks so handsome. We had been married for a very long time but I am still head over heels in love with him and ogle with his body.

"Take a picture. It will last long, love" his voice wake me up from my glance to his body as I stood up from the bed.

I started playing with the belt of my bathrobe and my fingers started to shake. "Rafael..." My voice started to break and just like that, I can't make an explanation and just cried.

Rafael was quickly alerted and walked then he stopped in front of me. "Belle..."

"I'm sorry." I just cried. "I didn't mean to say that. I'm so sorry. I love you, I don't hate you~"

He didn't finished what I was trying to say because he placed a finger on my lips and then he rest his forehead on mine "Shhh...you don't need to say something, my love. Its not your fault."

"B-but Rafael...please, don't leave me. I can do better what Gianna can do please just don't leave me." I cried harder, using my hands to wipe them. "Are you really cheating on me?"

Rafael's eyes widened and frowned, confusedly. "Cheating? Baby, I will never ever cheat on you. What makes you think that?"

"Y-you, you were talking to Gianna this morning, right? Then you meet up at Crimson Square and you even lied to me." I explained, and hiccupped.

I was really angry this day when he lied to me but when he left me earlier and went to the bar and when I said I hate him. I became frightened. I don't want him to leave me. I'm scared if he left me again and be with another girl. I will fight for what's mine and Rafael is for me.

Rafael pulled me to him and hugged me very tightly. He place a hand on my nape as he inhaled my scent "Idiot" he whispered to my ear. Then he break away "Listen to me, Belle. I will never ever cheat on you, trust me. I love you and only. I would rather die than cheat on you, baby."

"But why are you and Gianna together in Crimson Square? You told me you were in a meeting in Anderson?"

Rafael sigh and gave me a small smile. "Gianna is an owner of a jewelry store, remember? Because I need something from her and that is why I can't tell you yet."

Huh?

"What do you mean?" I asked, wiping my tears away.

Rafael looked at me and grab something in his pants that was hanging on the side "I was actually planning to give this to you on our anniversary but you know I can't stand seeing you crying..." He lets out a small, husky laugh then suddenly, my eyes widened in shock when he went down in one knee and then he he brought out his hand then shows me something...

His holding a ring...a beautiful diamond ring.

"Isabelle, I think this is about time for us to have a real proper wedding. Now that you are successful with your life and I'm so successful because I have you on my side. This is the right time." He told me as he look straight in my eyes "I love you so much, Isabelle. I thought this plan is gonna be a success but you accused me of cheating on you, this can't wait any longer. So, Isabelle Knight, marry me please. For the second time and for the right time, in church, in front of my family, in front of my friends, in front of your family and most of all, in front of God. Marry me" his voice was pleading.

Oh my, I think I can't breathe anymore. His choice of words can always makes me speechless and can always amaze me. Makes me want to fall in love with him over and over again. And how stupid of me, to think of me that he is cheating on me. I am always thinking of myself again and then accused him like that. Why didn't I trust him  that much? I love Rafael more than my own life and that is for sure.

"Baby? Aren't you gonna answer me?" Rafael asked.

I laughed and grinned happily "Yes, a hundred percent yes. Absolutely I will marry you, you asshole" then both of us just started laughing and he stood up and placed the ring on my finger then after that, he lifted me in the air and hugged me very tightly. "I love you, master."

Rafael placed a kiss on my lips and whispered "I love you. So much, Belle. So much to think that I'm  obsessed with you."

"Me too" I whispered back. "I love you so much."

He chuckled "Let's not fight like that again, alright? I can't stand you and I'm always not myself when it comes to you"

"Yes, never. I'm so sorry." I said, burying my face in his neck.

"No, I'm sorry, Belle. It's all my fault. I was too busy with all of my plans to propose to you and forgot to call you because I'm too excited."

"Fuck. I ruined it." I closed my eyes tightly.

"No, you didn't ruined anything, my love. As long as you said yes  to me then that's all that I need. You will ruined it if you said no" he chuckled and placed a kiss on my lips again then he suddenly smiled. "Do you know..."

"What?"

"This ring" he grab my hand where my new engagement ring is "I designed this ring just for you. All thanks to Gianna, she helped me made it."

"Really?" I gasped. "You designed this ring. Wow, I should be really thanking her."

"Yes. There is only one ring in the world that has this design and that is this." He then placed a kiss on top of the ring. "Do you like it?"

"Do I like it? Rafael, I love it!" I exclaimed and jumped on him, wrapping both of my legs around his waist and he quickly got me. "Rafael...there is one more thing that is missing"

He tilted his head on one side "What?"

Then suddenly, I gather up my strength in ever muscle I have and removed the belt of my bathrobe and let it fall off to the floor, leaving me in my night gown. "I'm ready."

Rafael's eyes were quickly filled with shock and need. "Belle, if you are not ready then its fine."

"No, Rafael. I'm a coward, you're my husband and I should really trust my life to you. And you proved to me how much you love me. And I can't explain how grateful I am to you for always understanding." I told him, strongly and no hesitation. "I love you so please don't you leave me and hurt me."

Rafael's eyes was now clouded with love and care and then kissed my eyelids "I will never ever hurt you, Belle. Mark my words. I promise to you, I will show you how much I love you and my love isn't measurable, I swear. I will gentle and thank you for trusting this to me. But please...if you don't want me to continue, tell me to stop." He whispered.

I smiled at him and nod my head. "I trust you, Rafael." Then with that, he pulled me to a very passionate and tender kiss.

Rafael shows me how much he loves me as our hearts and bodies became one. I will never ever accused him something like that again. From now on and forward, I will trust Rafael and love him with my whole heart. And if anything comes between us, I will surely not let them.

We will face it together.

No matter what happens.

The end....

For now.......
