ARIELA'S POV

It feels like forever the driving and panting in panic simultaneously after I parked my car on the garage of the medical hospital near the police station where Rafael is admitted.

"Ariela you're here! Come on! Quick!" Diana, Nena's daughter came to me running as sweat drip down her face. She treat us as her siblings since we treat her mother as our own.

Grabbing me by my hand, she led me to hospital door number 34. Without any hesitation, she opened the door for us to enter.

I closed my eyes in sadness to find my beloved little brother, lying on the white hospital bed.

Dextrose and other tubes were connected at various parts of his body. The sight made tears appear in my vision. He is there, lying unconsciously on the bed like dead.

"Ariela, according to the statement of the police, Rafael lashed his wrist with a razor blade when he was alone in the toilet. One of the police officers saw him on act and rushed him here after losing consciousness." Diana remarked while breathing unsteadily.

Anger came crashing down on me unanticipated.

How could he be so careless? I am here ready to sacrifice my desires for him but he's unfairly fighting for me.

He is the only reason that I breath and he is everything I have. He is the reason behind the success that I have today and there is no way I'll lose him, not this way.

"Diana, do you think he's aware that he's still alive?" I asked but she just shrugged her shoulders.

"Ariela, I need to go home. My son must be looking for me and I'm pretty sure that you would love to look after your brother." She forenamed while reading a message on her phone.

"Sure, Diana. I want a minute alone with my brother excessively." She smiled and waved goodbye before heading out of the hospital door.

The moment I was left alone with my brother, I fastened myself on a seat beside him while caressing his noxious hand.

"I'm so sorry, Raf. I admit my failure as your sister. I can't even free you from prison." I mumbled sadly , while gently wiping the unshed tears at the corner of my eyes.

"Big Sis?" His aquiver voice reached my ears as I meet his sad eyes.

"Raf..." I meekly greeted.

"Big Sis, why didn't you just let me die?" he arrogantly asked. I can't believe this boy.

"What? What probed your senses to say such a stupid thing?"

"I cannot live any longer in those cells. I am so tired cleaning, smelling foul surroundings and being ordered everyday. When is that hellhole going to end?" He stated as tears started flowing at the corner of his eyes.

Those tears. I don't want to see them again from his face. Instead, I caressed it gently.

"Raf, just wait and you'll be out of the cells. I promise you." I declared without thinking twice.

His eyes twinkled and sparkled, just as I wanted to see.

"Promise?"

"Promise." Then I kissed his temples.

His sparkling eyes just made my day again.

"Just promise me that you will never, ever do this again. You almost gave me a heart attack." I declared in authority to sharpen my point. He nod and gave me a weak smile.

After calling the doctor, he came in and examined him. I have one thing to worry about as of now.

******

"I would like to talk with Mr. Kings if he's around." I requested at the guard who saw me last time I came here.

"Oh! Its you Miss Ariela! Sure you can. I'll guide you on the way personally." He joyfully offered and led me inside the building without hesitation.

"Uhm... about last time? Thank you again." I stated again at him. I think I've been telling that to him for more than three times already this day.

"That's nothing. I'm glad to help." Shortly replied the guard as we reach the highest part of the building.

"Miss Chall, this is Miss Montemayor. She has an appointment with Mr. Kings..." appointment?

I want to asked what he is talking about but I saw the girl he called Miss Chall. She's wearing high heels, mini skirt that you can almost see her butt cheeks and a strapless black top that you could see her exposed cleavage. Maybe she run out of clothes in the botique.

"I am Mr. Xerxes Kings's secretary. Come in." She opened the door.

"Mr. Kings, someone wants to talk you." She said and brings me in. I took a glance over the guard but he just pushed me in the room.

"Bring them here." That voice. That deep voice that made me swallow the lump on my throat.

"Here she is..." Miss Chall slightly pushed me in front of the waiting man on his desk. His perfectly shaved face were on his paper all this time.

Silently raising his head from those papers, his dark mesmerizing eyes locked into mine. Those eyes were telling me that he's been expecting me to show up.

"Please take a sit." He remarked and stood up, leaving his swivel chair. He glanced at Miss Chall "Leave."

"Who is she?" She dared to ask.

"My girlfriend, now leave us alone." Miss Chall seemed to understand what's going on as she set out of the room. I ignored his remark about me and sit in silence.

"What do you want to talk about?" He asked eminently while rounding the single chair that I'm sitting on.

I've been thinking about this for the last minute and I've decided.

"About what you offered... " I swallowed the hard lump on my throat. "I'll do it." That's it, no turning back.

This is for Rafael.

"Are you sure?" He asked quietly as soon as he stopped behind me. I can feel him leaning on my side. His hot breath makes me shiver.

"Yes."

Making his way in front of me, He gently lifted my chin with his hot fingers to level his face with mine. He's staring at my eyes with determination and tranquillity.

"Now that you agreed, there's no turning back." He assured neatly. I swallowed hard before nodding.

He grabbed another chair and settled himself properly in front of me.

"For now, we are going to discuss about this." He started, gazing directly to my eyes. "About what happened last time, I hope you forgave me in my unmanly behavior."

I just nod as his eyes started wondering everywhere, especially to my body. I can't believe I'm wearing this very short dress that shows some of my skin. The dress ended half of my knees and it is sleeveless.

"Where am I going to stay?" I asked with a shaky voice and looked away from his gaze before I get hypnotized.

"From now on, we'll be stay in my house. Just you and me. We'll be alone together." He stated calmly, crossing his legs and leaned on his chair.

"Then?"

"We'll do what we have to do." He replied with an emotionless face. "Don't worry, I'll be by your side while the baby is still inside you. After you give birth, we'll go separate ways." He said.

"What if he or she will ask about parents, what are you gonna say?" I fret in.

"I'll just say that the mother died. That's all." He replied.

I nod. I wanted to ask him why he needed a child but I think I'm not in the place to do so.

"You can start by seducing me." He said and stood, leaving.

W-Wait?
