Chapter 15

The smile on Michelle's lips could not be removed as she walked down the hallway of their University. Their class has just ended and she can't wait to see Rafael.

He said that he has a surprise for her!

It's been a month since they started dating and she hasn't seen Siarra since their last encounter. She will admit that she was afraid of the woman's threat, she thought that she would do something that would ruin her relationship with Rafael so she was surprised and was a little confused when she did not do anything. But at the same time, she was also relieved that she kept quiet. And she knew Rafael had something to do with it, even if he did not say anything, she knew he had already ended whatever relationship he had with Siarra.

She was still smiling and was still thinking about Rafael that she did not see the girl, who was also busy with her books, right in front of her, the reason for them to bump into each other.

The girl fell to the floor together with her books. She even heard her grunt.

She immediately helped the girl pick up her books while asking for an apology.

"Thank you." The girl said after she gave her the last book she picked up.

She couldn't help but be impressed as she stared at the woman. She is so beautiful. She looked like an angel who had fallen from heaven because of its beauty, even the awkward and shy smile she's giving her is so bright and beautiful. She is wearing eyeglasses but that did not detract from her angelic face. It made her prettier and looked more innocent. The girl looked like she was the same age as her.

"It's fine." The girl shyly replied as she took her book from her.

She smiled at her and was about to ask her name when she saw Stevens running towards her.

She waved at him. "Stevens!" She called the approaching young man.

She saw how the girl stiffened when she called Stevens. When Stevens approached them, he had a huge grin on his lips and leaned over the woman who was holding her breath that made Michelle's forehead furrow.

"Hi, Michelle." Stevens greeted her before turning to the woman and wrapped his arms on the girl's shoulders which made the girl even tenser.

"Hi, Cassy." Stevens greeted the girl and his grin widened, even more, when the woman just bent down and bit her lower lip.

"You guys, know each other?" She asked Stevens.

Stevens smiled mischievously while not taking his eyes off Cassy.

"Yes. We knew each other, very, very well." Stevens said and she swears how Stevens lightly squeezed Cassy's shoulder.

She can smell something fishy about the two but she just chose not to say anything. She just shook her head and then said goodbye to the two and she formally introduced herself to Cassy before leaving them.

She smiled. Stevens seems to have moved on from her.

When she got out of university, she immediately saw Rafael leaning on his car.

She couldn't help but be impressed as she stared at her boyfriend. He is wearing his formal suit and shades which made him look so hot.

Damn! Her boyfriend is a goddamn hottie. No wonder a lot of female students were outside the campus and they were all staring at her god-like boyfriend while giggling and whispering at each other.

Instead of getting jealous of how the girls are staring at Rafael, she is happy. She is happy that her boyfriend is getting a lot of attention, which is not questionable considering how handsome he is.

She proudly made her way to Rafael who is looking around as if he is looking for someone. When Rafael saw her, he immediately approached her and wrapped his arm around her waist then kissed her on the lips that did not last for too long. She wrapped her arms around Rafael's neck and smiled sweetly at him.

She could hear the students whispering but she did not pay attention to them.

"How long have you been here?" She asked as he guided her into his car.

"A little while ago but it's okay. You're worth the wait." He said then kissed the tip of her nose. She felt giddy at what he said.

When the two of them got into the car, she turned to look at Rafael and kissed him hard on the lips that she had been wanting to do the moment she saw him.

Rafael is just so hot that she can't resist herself kissing him.

Her boyfriend did not disappoint her because he immediately responded to her kiss until her body started to get hot. She was not worried that they would be seen because his car is tinted.

When she felt Rafael's hands starting to roam around her body, that's when she voluntarily moved away from her lover or else they would end up doing it inside his car and she knew that when their bodies started to heat up, they could no longer hold back.

She buried her face in Rafael's chest as she chased her breath and so did Rafael because she could hear its loud heartbeat.

"God angel! You made me fucking hard!" Rafael said through gritted teeth.

She looked down at his pants and what Rafael said was true. The bulge of his manhood was so obvious as if someone was camping inside its briefs.

She laughed a little.

She looked up to see Rafael's face and he was gritting his teeth as if he was holding back.

She suddenly thought of something mischievous.

She lowered one of her hands and gently stroked its bulging manhood that is still covered with its pants, causing her lover's breathing to accelerate even more.

"I can do it this way." She seductively said and winked at him.

She continued to caress his bulging pants and she felt the throbbing of her femininity when she saw how Rafael bit his lower lip.

Rafael groaned and closed his eyes as if he was still holding back. When he opened his eyes, he gently removed her hand that was busy stroking his manhood covered by his pants.

"As much I wanted you to do that, we can't. My surprise is waiting for you." He said but the displeasure in his own decision was obvious on his face and his voice.

"Okay." She said before going back on sitting comfortably.

She laughed when he saw that Rafael was having a hard time hiding his manhood so she decided to help him. She opened his fly and made it away so that his hard manhood would not be too noticeable.

Rafael couldn't help but moan every time she moved his manhood but she ignored it and continued with what she was doing.

When she's done, she just shakes her head.

Even though she tried so hard to fix it, she still could see its bulging.

Her boyfriend is blessed at that part of his body.

When she looked at Rafael, she found him grinning from ear to ear. She raised an eyebrow at him.

"What?" She asked but Rafael just shook his head then started his car.

She just shrugged. "Where are we going?" She asked him as she looked outside the window car.

"This is a surprise, okay? So I am not telling." Rafael replied that made her frown.

She turned to him then tenderly hugged one of its arms and Rafael kissed the top of her head without taking his eyes off the road.

They stayed in that position until they finally reached their destination. Rafael went down first then opened the door for her. He held out one of his hands which she immediately accepted.

She looked around. The place is very familiar to her, it reminds her of the place where her family used to live.

"Come on." Said Rafael as he held her hand.

They walked for five minutes until she saw a very familiar house. When they stopped in front of that home, she tearfully turned her eyes to her boyfriend.

"W-what---"

"I bought this from the bank." He cut off what she was going to say and then wiped away her tears that she did not even notice that had fallen. "I know how important this house is for you and Michael so when I found out that the bank was selling it, I bought it without having second thoughts. I just had a hard time buying this since many people are interested in it but I did everything in my power to buy your house." He wiped away her tears again. "I've been wanting to return this house to you for a long time but I can't find a chance so here we are."

She did not know what to say, she could not come up with the right word to say how grateful she is for what he did so she just lovingly kissed him on the lips then hugged him while saying thank you.

She could not hold back her tears as she hugged her boyfriend. There is no denying the happiness she feels. She's really lucky to have Rafael in her life and she thanked God that he gave her Rafael.

"Come on. Let's go inside." Rafael said as he broke away from her embrace. He kissed her on the lips then wiped her tears again with his fingers. "Hush now angel, I was supposed to make you happy but now you are crying. I suddenly feel sorry that I brought you here."

She laughed softly at what he said then slapped him on the chest.

"This is tears of joy!" She said with a smile and she herself wiped away her tears before she dragged him into the house.

When they entered the house, the happy memories of their family immediately returned to her. The house remained unchanged, it still looked the way it was. What it looked like when she last saw it was still the same, it was taken care of and was not neglected. Even their belongings are still there and are seemingly untouched.

"Thank you." She told Rafael when they sat side by side on the sofa that her parents used to sit on every time they did a movie marathon with the whole family since that is what they like to do every day off of her father. "I don't know how I can pay you for everything that you did for me and Michael."

Rafael squeezed her hand that he is holding causing him to look into his eyes. "Just say yes to my question. That should be enough." She frowned at what he said.

Oh, God! This is the happiest and best day of her life.

"What do you mean?" She curiously asked him but Rafael just smiled at her then let go of her hand and took something from his pocket.

Suddenly, her chest throbbed as he pulled the object out of his pants pocket. It was a color red box and even though she had not seen its content yet, she was already in tears.

And her lips parted as Rafael finally opened the box. It was a gold band ring with one large stone at the center of the band while the rest of the band is covered by many small stones. The ring is breathtakingly beautiful.

"This ring is from my mom. She gave me this before she died and told me to give it to the woman that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with." He lovingly smiled at her. "When he told me that, I immediately thought of you because you are the only woman I want to be with for the rest of my life." He took a deep breath before continuing to speak. "I know it's too early to ask you for marriage but I just want to make sure. You know how much I love you. For seven years, I have been waiting for you to notice me, that you will be with me and that I will be with you. And I can't wait a few more years. I want you to be mine forever, I wanted you to be mine legally. I want your angelic face to be the first one that I will see when I wake up. I know you have a dream, you want to do many things and I will not stop you. I will support you with your dreams, Michelle. We will reach your dreams together." She could hardly breathe as she cried so much while waiting for what Rafael would say next. "So my little angel, will you spend the rest of your life with me? Will you be the mother of my children? Will you be the Queen of my empire? Will you marry me?"

She kept crying and could not speak that all she could do was nod in response to his question.

Oh, God! This is the happiest and best day of her life.

Michelle seemed to be floating in the clouds as she walked down the hallway to their condo.

She already sent Rafael home because she knew he was tired. He also has a meeting tomorrow and she is sure that once she lets him inside their unit, he won't be able to rest for he is going to work on her body.

She stared at the ring on her left finger and smiled again She couldn't wait to tell Michael about their engagement. She is sure that he would be so happy.

She happily opened the door of their unit and was about to call Michael when she saw the inside of their condo unit.

It is so messy, their belongings were scattered on the floor as if a storm had just passed Suddenly, fear rose in her chest and she immediately ran to her brother's room. She doesn't care anymore even if she stumbles.

But her eyes widened and her heart started beating so fast when she reached Michael's room and saw her brother's private nurse, lifeless and bathing in her own blood. And she felt like she was slowly losing her breath when she read what was written on the floor near the nurse's body and she is sure that the culprit used the nurse's own blood.

"I told you, we're not done yet."
