It baffled and scared Ruhi to see Rafael on his knees. She could see the lust pooling in his eyes and inched closer to the door if that was possible.
Running his fingers over her waist, he lifted her floral blouse up to expose the skin. It took him a lot of willpower to resist licking her soft, creamy belly in the morning. It relieved him that he didn't want to stop himself anymore.
Scattering kisses over her curves, he slipped his tongue into her belly button. She gasped before tugging hard at his hair, still debating if she should push him away or pull him closer. He smirked and started suckling on her skin while running his hand under her pale pink skirt.
She threw her head back and pulled on his hair harder, letting out faint whimpering cries as he rubbed the thin material of her panties. Holding her hips firmly, he slipped his fingers inside, c
Ruhi stood there frozen, still processing what she just heard. After how affectionately Rafael hadlaid her down on the couch like she was the most precious thing in this world, she couldn't believe he could look at her as if she meant nothing to him. All within a few hours.Antonio ran right into Ruhi's petrified figure when he walked out of the room. He was sure she hadbeen standing there for a while."Ruhi... How much did you hear?""Enough I guess." Her eyes filled up with tears."Honey, it's going to be all right. Please give him some time.""I don't think so, dad. I think my presence around him is making things worse. It's become very stressful for me and affecting my health.""Health? What's the matter? Should I call the doctor?" He took his phone out without waiting for her response."That won't be necessary.I just need a break from Rafael.""I know what you mean. But I'm afraid I can't let you do
Ruhi was climbing down the stairs around 6.30 AMthe next morning to buy pregnancy kits when Rafael noticed her. Hehad returned from the gym and showered by then. It surprised him to see her wake up so early on a weekend. She usually struggled to get upwith a dozen alarms on weekdays. He constantly heard her snooze the alarm while he walked to his room from the gym, study, or when goingdown to eat breakfast. She was still in her nightclothes. But he heard her talking to Oreo, saying she will be back soonwhen the dogfollowed her to the front door. "Ruhi, hold on." He went down the stairs in a flash and saw her look at him like he was the last thing she wanted to see. She changed her opinion when her eyes fell on his shirtless body, with water still dripping down from his damp hair. 'Is he trying to seduce me out in the open?' She wondered and looked toward the kitchen to see if Ms. Myers could see them. She wa
Ruhi spent most of the day searching for apartments online until she received an email from hisPA.'Poor thing, the slave driver boss is making Linda work on a weekend besides keeping her in the office till 6.30 PM,' she thought and read the email excitedly as the subject said 'Party at the Crescent Hotel.'Ruhi wondered why Rafael was suddenly throwing a party after chewing everyone's heads off ever since he got out of the hospital.She ran excitedly to the garden to ask Antonio once she read the party details."Unlimited Korean barbeque, Japanese buffet, free-flowingalcohol, Latin dancing,a photo booth and so on... whoa! What's the occasion, dad? It's in the middle of the week.""It's mywife's birthday on that day. We host the party in a hotel where she was bestowed the ballerina title thirty years ago—Prima ballerina assoluta." He said proudly. "She was pregnant with Rafael then but didn't know yet.""Oh wow! A
"Oh, look! She's alive." Sarah swung around in her chair, calling for Brittany's attention when Ruhi walked to her cubicle. "Oh, my God! What happened to you? You missed so much on Friday!" "I... I wasn't feeling well. Why? What happened on Friday?" "I think the boss is open for all of us to hit on. He banged some chick in the middle of the day. Looks like his relationship with his wife is officially done done!" Brittany explained. "Or he doesn't care at all what anyone thinks about him anymore. He never encouraged his secretary's flirtingand was always careful to protect his relationship when he was with Alisha." Sarah added. "Alisha is hotter than his secretary. And we are all hotter than his wife. But Khloe said he looked devoted to his wife when she was here." "Unfaithful men will bang anything, even if they have a hot girlfriend. He was committed to them, his ex and thenhis soon-to-be wife. Now he is not anymore becaus
"Choices, choices, decisions, and more decisions!" Ruhi huffed as she looked at the stores in the shopping district and thought about the two dozen apartments she looked at the day before and still wondering if she made the right choice."Only the most elitein town come here," Rosie said, pointing to the security standing at the entrance of each store, asking clients if they have an appointment.Most stores shooed away window shoppers just by looking at them. Ruhisaw a few folks who stood by a European-styleornate pillar or flower pots hanging by them, clicking pictures and walking away after gawking through the glass walls at the items on display.She was one of those starry-eyed young girls who took selfies at some majestic nude sculpture or fountain and dreamed of affording at least one dress or pursefrom such shopping district one fine day.Aftermarvelingat the million dollar cars casually parked nearthe s
"Positive?!" Ruhi stared at the double lines in disbelief."Positive again.How is this happening, Oreo?""Fuck!!" She tossed the sticks when the third one showed positive too.It was already 10 AM, and she had a meeting with Rafael at 11 AM. The initial idea was to tell him about her moving out plan sooner or later during the day, depending on how his mood was. But now she had to see his reaction about her pregnancy too.She struggled to focus on her daily business and breakfast, wondering if he would want the baby aborted. She didn't want to be pregnant, but the thought that he might want the baby gone angered her.It started drizzling lightly when she went down to the kitchen to gether morning coffee. She saw her grandma on the other end of the front yard and walked over, debating if she should ask her what would be the best thing to do, now that she was pregnant."Oh, didn't know you were still at home. Antonio wanted to
“What do you mean you won’t be going? It’s not that jackass’s party. It’s in the loving memory of my wife.” Antonio tried to convince Ruhi about the party on Thursday night while eating dinner with grandma.“I don’t want to see him again.”“Come on, Ruhi. You don’t have to see him or talk to him. Besides, Anna will be flying in tonight. She will keep you company tomorrow.”“Who’s Anna?”“My god-daughter. She’s as precious to me as you and Rafael are. She takes care of my Italian sect of business. I will be going to the airport to receive her after we finish eating. You can come with me if you want.”Ruhi felt grandma appearto be a little reservedwhen Antonio talkedabout Anna.“I’d love to. This Panzanella is out of the world, grandma!”“So is this pasta,” Antonio added.&ldq
A feeling of helplessness washed over Ruhi as she walked out of the event room. She headed to the bathroom as large tears pooled in her eyes whenshe thought about Rafael with some other woman."Mira!" She tried to avoid whoever it was, but her coworker called her again and followed her."There you are. We are heading to the memorial hallway, wanna join?" Sarah asked her while the others were going downstairs to the hallway. It was a place filled with large portraits of Francesca in her ballerina costume. Antonio had bought the hotel after her death and had the hallway dedicated to her.Ruhi decided it was better to go with her coworkers than crying in the bathroom and coming out with bloodshot eyes and ruined makeup."What's the matter? You okay?""Oh yeah, totally. That crab dip was super spicy, made me tear up." She carefully wiped the tiny droplets at the corner of her eyes with her finger and followed Sarah."But
