Chapter 21
After the church activities, the ceremony was moved to an event hall that she hadn't known about, she didn't really know much because she didn't bother to ask, all she thought was after the wedding everyone goes home but there was an after-party with even more people, cameras everywhere, various people coming to take photos with her, people she didn't even know, they still haven't had their couples dance so she knew it was far from over."Are you okay?"Her new husband, more like Natalie's new husband asked."Do I look okay? I have been smiling nonstop for photos with different people I don't even give a fuck about, why do I have to do this? Why are there so many cameras around and just how many more photos of me in the same dress are they going to take?"She asked, doing her best not to shout."What's wrong with you acting like you are new to this? You are always in the spotlight so this should be easy, in fact, you are the one that said there should be freedom to take photos,"Rafae

"Do we really have to go for a honeymoon? We can just stay in Florida, I honestly don’t think there is any need for us to leave the country,”Nicole said as their car left the venue, Rafael had just told a man he greeted a while before he got into the car that they were heading out of town for their honeymoon, she didn't like the idea of leaving Florida, not only did she not want to be left alone with Rafael, she didn’t want them away from where she knew."Why are you asking like you are just hearing about this? You suggested it and picked the location. Honestly, did you hit your head and lose your memory because you have been acting as if you did and I am beginning to worry, do we need to see a doctor?"Rafael asked, he sounded like he meant what he was saying, if only he knew that this was more than a memory loss."No, it's fine, I am just stressed out that's all,""Are you sure? First, you had a problem with the photographers you requested for, then the cake wasn't of your liking

"I am just going to ignore you,"She replied closing her eyes, she was done, anything else and she might do something stupid, she opened her eyes again when they got to the hotel they were staying for the night, she knew the hotel, she has seen it on TV a few times and knew Rafael owned it, she has never seen it up close, she waited for him to come get her as there were some paparazzi around, she hated them paparazzi and still couldn’t get her head around why they always follow people around and why them people tolerate them."Let's go in my lady,"He said reaching out for her she rolled her eyes and took his hands, cameras started flashing as soon as she stepped out, she smiled and waved at them like Natalie would do even though she was losing it inside, it was crazy the amount of flash lights that were trying to blind her all in the name of taking photos of her to create headlines. When they finally entered the lobby, she let out a sigh of relief, Rafael didn't let go of her hands

Rafael laid on the bed but he couldn't fall asleep, what a way to start married life, he already knew they were going to be a lot of bad reviews about his wedding and he didn't like it, first Natalie showing up late and then she was acting up, she kept doing things the wrong way and getting angry at him when he should be the one angry, gosh, she even told him to shut the fuck up, if this is how she does when she is stressed then he must be ready, because she was a handful, he definitely didn't expect most of her behaviour, she fucking flagged the chair man of the biggest tech company and all he could do was watch, he had told himself he will put her in her place when they are alone but then, she had bossed him into forgetting, whatever was going on with her, he definitely liked the submissive version of her not this vile one, she was already challenging him and they weren't even married up to a day, he had the sudden urge to go tell her where she belonged, he got off the bed and strol

Waking up the next morning to his phone ringing loudly wasn't a new thing to Rafael but for some reason, he could tell even before he checked the phone that the reason for this call will not be of his liking, and it turned out to be just that, getting a call six am in the morning when he is supposed to be on a break, a break should not be one of the things he thinks about because unlike other people, he never really take breaks."Yes, what is it, Matt?"He asked his other assistant."Sorry to disturb your sleep so early sir but they are requesting a statement and I didn't want to go ahead without your approval,"Matt's voice echoed over the phone, Rafael wondering what kind of statement that was, got off the bed."What statement Matt? Is it because of what Armani called for last night? I already told her what to do, and she gave me her words that she can handle it, what happened again now?”He asked."No, not that, I mean concerning your wedding, there are a lot of negative responses

"What's this?"Nicole asked, she couldn't believe what she was reading, why would he bring such an article to her, so early in the morning? She just woke up, she knew she shouldn't have opened the door but she had felt bad for locking him out last night, well now she didn't feel bad anymore she felt mad."Can't you tell?""And you decided it's okay to bring this to me?""Why not? You asked for it,"He said smiling and sitting on the bed, the man looked good so early in the morning, if he wasn't such a demon she could have called him handsome but he was a demon, demons are not handsome.“What? What do you mean by that?""I am saying you did the most, if you had just composed yourself maybe these people won't have so many negative things to say about you,"Rafael said and Nicole suddenly had the urge to bite off his head, no literally, she felt like doing it, he was a moron, how could he bring this to her, who does that."I have no words for you Rafael!! Salvador!!!"She yelled at him c

He kissed, her pulling her closer to him, the pressure of his mouth on hers made it impossible for her to think straight, he was indeed a good kisser, she knew from the kiss they shared that night and also the kisses they shared during their wedding, of course she didn't have anything to compare with but she could tell, his mouth explored hers, pushing back all thoughts and reasonings, she sighed in pleasure, kissing him back, he held her face with both hands, deepening the kiss, making her legs turn to gel, she didn't know a kiss could do this, make her lose all her thoughts, wait the heck a fucking minute, her eyes opened in bewilderment, she pushed him off her, moving away from him."What is it?He asked in shock, she looked at him, did he really not know what it is?"What the fuck? Why did you kiss me?She yelled wiping her mouth, she had let him kiss her and even enjoyed it, she couldn't believe she had just done that"You are my wife, I am allowed to kiss you, we are married re

Nicole, got up the next morning and left the penthouse before Rafael would wake up, she took a cab to her house, she was betting on not meeting her parents at home, she hoped they had one business meeting or a trip to attend and don't be home, when she got to her parent's house and her childhood home, she felt out of place after just four days away from it, maybe because she never felt at home here especially when Natalie wasn't around, like now, first she went to Natalie's room, she needed clothes and she knew she couldn't just start dressing down, that would be bad for Natalie's reputation, even if that's not what she wanted, she had to Natalie as much as she could, she went into Natalie's closet and picked some clothes that weren't her style but at least we're wearable, after which she closed Natalie's door and headed to her room, she hadn't been expecting to meet anyone there which was why she was shocked when she opened her door."Mom? What are you doing in my, I mean Nicole's ro

He picked up the phone wondering what happened now for them to be calling him."What? Are you kidding me right now?"He yelled getting up, this must be a joke, they were going to release him, they better think again, how could the bastard make him a liar?"I am on my way, I will meet you up at the police station, don’t let anyone leave, I will be there soon,”He said and hung up, he turned to Natalie who was looking at him with curious eyes."I have to go to the police station, that bastard is pulling strings, I need to go before he buys every one of them off,"He said picking up his phone and calling his legal team, he told them to set up a meeting."Good luck,"Natalie said when he was about to leave, he came back and he couldn’t resist smiling at her, there was no point in letting the bastard Leonard be a reason he would be mad at his wife."I will be back before dinner, we are going out,"He said, going over to kiss her, if he was going to break whatever barrier she was trying to
