Lexie stepped aside for a moment from the commotion of the bridal shower which was really noisy and excited. Tomorrow morning Kaella will marry her lover, and today will be her last day as a single. So everyone was excited to have a party in one of the finest suits at a five-star hotel in Charleston. Her cell phone has been ringing loudly ever since. She had ignored the call because she was pinning the crown for the bride-to-be and taking pictures with the rest of Kaella's friends. Now she would pick up Rafe's call and talk to him because Rafe must have called her for something important.
“Hi Honey, sorry for not picking up your call. I was at Kaella's bridal shower. It's very noisy in here. Tomorrow you will come to her wedding right?”
Lexie finally found a comfortable and quiet place to talk to Rafe. While everyone was partying like crazy in Kaella's suit room. She has a balcony which is very quiet and with a beautiful view of the city of Charleston. Folly Beach wa
Rafe stepped off the plane and was greeted by a light drizzle in late summer. The soothing scent of wet earth relaxes him for a moment. A little man who will be his driver today to go to Lexie's house has just opened an umbrella near the plane steps, getting ready to umbrella him. Rafe actually had absolutely no problem walking in the rain. This is really refreshing and can wash away a little bit of his anxiety that is thickening more and more. "Thank you. Before we go to Lexie's house, I will pick up my son at his day care. He'll be home in thirty minutes." The man nodded after handing the umbrella handle to him. Rafe walked slowly behind the man to his car which was parked near the hangar. He inhaled strongly the scent of summer which was about to fade and be replaced by the cold, gray scent of autumn. Time flies so fast, and he hasn't been able to summon Xena back so he can surface like he used to. "Please come in, sir." The man grabbed the handle
Fifteen minutes later they arrived at Lexie's beautiful two-story house filled with various kinds of plants in the front yard. Rafe was almost surprised to see so much change in the house. The last time he came here, the house had no woody trees. But now the front of Lexie's house was filled with giant pots filled with woody trees that were struggling to grow into giant-sturdy trees. The flowers that were once only planted in two small pots, have grown into a bunch of colorful flowers that have been transplanted into the ground. "There have been a lot of changes in this house." “My father used the garden next to the house as a garage because it wasn't safe to park the car just on the side of the road. Sometimes there are naughty children who scribble on the car body with spray paint. Some time ago our neighbor was screaming hysterically because his Mercedes Benz had been scribbled with a series of obscene swear words.” “Your father has done the right thing as
Tonight was really fun for Rafe because he was in the midst of a harmonious complete family. There is a father-in-law who is so kind to him, a lover or a future wife or maybe his wife and an adorable son. They had dinner together happily at the dining table. There were loud laughter from his father-in-law and spoiled whimpers from Archer if Lexie started forbidding him to do this and that. Everything seemed so good to Rafe that he was reluctant to return to his miserable life in New York. If he could, he wanted to be in the midst of this family forever. And in order to make his wish come true, he needed to improve the conditions between himself and Lexie. He needed to make it clear to Lexie that he wanted a complete family and didn't want to live apart like he used to. “Archer is asleep?” Rafe deliberately waited for Lexie in front of her bedroom. Tonight he was supposed to sleep in Kaella's room, but he hadn't been in Kaella’s room since then and had just stood by t
"Dance with me, lady?"Lexie looked up, left her cherry juice and smiled gently at the man who had just reached out in front of her. She didn't waste the opportunity to dance with this handsome man and took his outstretched hand in front of her face."Of course. It's an amazing party and I can't miss dancing with a guy like you." Lexie smiled gently.The man led her to the center of the ballroom, joining another couple who had already started their dance. His wide palm gripped Lexie's tiny palm which was so soft. He smiled widely at everyone, as if he was celebrating his success in persuading a princess to dance with him."Beautiful music. Thank you for asking me to dance."Lexie pressed herself against the man, holding on to his sturdy shoulders and they began to move in sync with the melodious classical music. The soft violins play beautiful notes with the rest of the orchestra. Lexie closed her eyes while following every movement made by her dan
Lexie watched Rafe leave in silence. Guilt gripped her heart because Rafe saw her with Justin. Although it is unlikely that anything will happen between her and Justin, but Rafe seems quite jealous of their closeness. She was just grateful that Xena was sleeping soundly now. She couldn't imagine what would have happened if it had been Xena. "Come on Lexie. We have to hurry because we have wasted quite a bit of time.” Justin led her to the elevator. His arms were still slung over her shoulders and he pressed the lobby button for both of them after the elevator doors closed. "Is he still rude?" "What?" Lexie asked looking up. "Your husband. I used to see you cry because of that man. Is he still as rude as before?” "Sometimes." Lexie answered half dreamily. No marriage is absolutely flawless. There are always fights and arguments in every marriage relationship. Even she couldn't keep herself away from all domestic troubles. Rafe or Xena h
Rafe leaned back against the headboard of the gurney, staring blankly at the dull scene in front of him. He had been in the hospital for three days, and he was bored. So far he has never experienced a serious illness that requires him to lie down like an invalid man in a hospital, so his experience this time really made him bored and wanted to get back to his activities immediately with all his tiring activities.The first time he woke up three days ago, it was more shocking than anything. The first time he felt so weak and so helpless. There was no one by his side. He was completely alone in a large hospital room that smelled of carbolic acid. The things he was able to see were white everywhere. He almost even thought he might be in heaven if the pungent smell of carbolic acid hadn't bothered his imagination. But even though he woke up in the hospital alive after being shot in the chest, it was as if he had died. There was no one waiting for him to wake up. The people on his payroll
"What! You want to have a baby? What kind of joke is this. Haven't you always been proud of the title of the most wanted bachelor in New York, I thought you would never think about getting married and having cute kids to accompany your old age. Did you just have a head damage? Did your brain move an inch?” Wren asked in a howling laugh in the lonely treatment room.It felt like both of Rafe's hands were itching to punch Wren's disgusting face. He had laughed at him for an issue which he took very seriously because it was related to his future life. He realized that life would not stay like this. Life is always dynamic and his life will change one day. And because of that he needed an heir to handle the whole business when he was no longer able to handle all of it. But unfortunately at this time he really needed Wren's help. Only Wren can fulfill his wish to have a child who can continue his company.“Is it a mistake if I want a child? Now that I'm twenty-eight, this is the right time
Rafe rushes to the hospital after he gets a call from Wren about the woman who will be carrying his child. It had been a week since he was discharged from the hospital and Wren finally announced that he had found the right woman to be the mother of his child. He came straight to the hospital even though he was in an important meeting. However the most important thing right now was the heir to his entire estate. Meetings and billions of dollars would be of no use if he didn't have an heir to handle all his assets in the future. "Where is that woman?" Rafe went straight into Wren's room and bombarded the man with his cold, stiff questions. He became very impatient and rushed. Wren snorted in annoyance at Rafe's hasty action. He told Rafe to sit down first before telling him the happy news he had brought. "Cool down, Rafe. Sit down, there's a lot I want to tell you." Rafe took his place in one of the chairs in Wren's room. His body was leaning fo
