The fake wedding

The big ben

Charlottes p.o.v

"Follow that car please." I handed the driver a $50 so she'd drive quietly behind rafe, ever since we came here in London he's been acting weird. So I decided to follow him to see where he's been going for the past three days, he says it's for business but what kind? It was a long car ride, I had no idea where we were and I hoped that $50 was enough for the sweet lady to drive me all around the country. She didn't ask any questions but just kept driving, which I highly appreciated. Soon there was a mansion looking house with an old vintage look to it. There was moss all over the walls like an ancient castle only a tad bit smaller.

Rafes car stopped and so did my driver only a few blocks away so I could still see him. I watched him fix his dark green hoodie and dust off his white air forces and his black jeans. He walked to the door and spoke to someone looked around and walked inside. Now it looks more suspicious than before, "Thank you so much." I handed her another $50 slowly getting out the car, "Do you need help?" She asked she had a thick English accent and glowing blue eyes. "No thank you so much." I smiled successfully getting out the car. She smiles back waving driving off.

I walked up taking small steps so I wouldn't get caught, I had a bad feeling of what type of business rafe was doing and I prayed it wasn't it. I needed to find a way around, they seem like smart people but there's always a loop hole. I snuck around and saw men on the side with guns and my stomach dropped, I gulped and stood thinking of an idea.

I grabbed a rock throwing it into the forest next to the mansion, they looked around and sent a couple men to look into the woods. Idiots. I took a Bobby pin from my hair trying to unlock the door, I tried to jiggle it quickly trying to not get myself caught. "Who are you?" I froze realizing my plan didn't work at all, I turned standing up straight. A tall man with a ginger buzz cut and wearing all black. His dark brown eyes stared at me intensely, I'm guessing he didn't see my stomach which is very prominent. Three other men popped up and grabbed me pushing me inside forcefully. "Let go of me!" I screamed trying to move them off me, it was no use I wasn't as strong. I was tired from all the moving around I did.

"What the hell is going on?" I heard rafe yell, they gripped my arms holding me so I wouldn't leave. "She tried to break in boss." Boss? Did they just call him boss? Rafe caught sight of me and his eyes turned dark. "Are you a fucking dumbass? That's my goddamn wife! And she's pregnant you fucking blind bats!" They let go of me instantly but I just stood there.

"Go outside and keep guarding before I shoot you all in the knee caps." He growled they all scattered terrified. He stared at me and his face and eyes all went soft, he scratched his chin staring at me. "I told you to stay in the villa." "I got bored." He gave me a look and I looked down "Come here." I slowly moved towards him still not looking him in the eyes. "Did you follow me?" "No I just teleported here." He stayed quiet and I knew he rolled his eyes at my sarcasm, I finally looked up at him in his eyes and saw how soft they were. "You could've gotten hurt."

"But I didn't." He clenched his jaw breathing in deeply, "Charlotte." He warned, he never uses my actual name. I frowned shifting my weight, "Can we sit my feet hurt." He moved his head to the side gesturing to follow him. We walked in an empty room that was lit by a lamp and a purple candle that filled the room with lavender. There was a brown chair and an old bed against the wall.

"So do they not know you're married?" "They know, they just know our status from a year ago." Wouldn't they need to keep up with rafes life? Since he is their boss, which still confuses me.

"I'm not supposed to be in such a committed relationship or with kids, it could be used as leverage or death." I sucked in a breath seeing how serious he was, his eyes were dark just thinking about it. "I'm sorry." "No, I'm sorry I didn't tell you before." I felt tears brim and some fall down my cheek, "I just wanted you to not be so secretive." I started to sob, I swear it's the hormones. I looked up at rafe with watery eyes he kneeled in front of me taking my hands in his, "I know angel, I'm sorry I was trying to protect you." He wipes my face caressing my cheek, "You're needed." I looked up wiping my face blinking to adjust my vision to see who said that.

Of course it's JJ, he's everywhere no matter what. Rafe stood up blocking my view, "Tell them I'll be there give me a sec." I moved a little seeing JJ shift his eyes from rafe to me, he walked out softly closing the door. "Why did they call you boss rafe? And why is JJ here?" He tan his tongue across his top teeth his eyes snapped from me to the door and back to me. "Can we talk about this later?"

"You can't keep putting this aside rafe the suspense isn't fun." He just stared at me, and these are the times I realized how mindful rafe is. He's always so quiet in an argument but so loud at the same time, "You need to go back to the villa JJ will take you." "I'm not going." His body tensed and his eyes felt like they were burning a whole in me, "We're not doing this Charlotte, you're going back and we'll talk in private. Now go." He spoke through gritted teeth, I've never really seen rafe this angry before. I stayed quiet and just watched him, he left the room and I sat on the bed breathing out a breath I didn't know I was holding in. The door opened again this time with JJ, "Ready?" "Do I have a choice?"
