Chapter 2 His Strange Feeling
Rafael’s POV
I rolled my eyes nonchalantly around the place, I was bored. I felt restricted, and I hate that fucking feeling. I wondered why I hadn’t seen Natalie since the party had started. Although there was a caterer, she insisted on taking care of all the party details by herself. I never could understand women!
After my father’s death, I moved into Mirren’s mansion as the legal heir. How ironic, I used to come as a guest, and after his death he announced me his damn heir! My eyes darkened when I remembered how the fuck he treated his flesh and blood son.
Thus, Natalie has become a part of my daily life routine since we are now living under one roof. I hated her most of the time when I was younger, she stool my father’s fucking love from me.
Even though our rooms were very close, I never stepped into her room, and neither did she. We kept our own space from each other, unlike in the old days when we were too close.
In the past, when she was a little girl, before I discovered that she placed me in my father’s heart; whenever I came for a visit, she never left my side, until she fell asleep, and I put her in her bed. But later on, things changed…NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
For the meantime, I married her in an incomplete marriage. An obstacle my father put in my way, as he always does. This marriage was upon his will, and neither of us wanted it. It’s all about how she could get her legacy as a legal member of the Mirren family.
After Natalie’s mother had gone, no one left for her, just my father. I guess he wanted me to look after her now. Spoiled Natalie. Sometimes, I feel like she was his flesh-blood daughter, not a stepdaughter!
However, I decided to help her by fulfilling my father’s fucking strange commandment. The marriage. I knew that it would be a hard situation, but I was determined to make it work.
I was determined to make her feel like a part of the family that she lived with her whole life and to show her that she wasn’t alone. I was determined to give her the home, the wealth and the secure that she needed.
Or in other words, I was determined to make her need me! And I, Rafael was the real fucking heir for this family.
However, the legacy has another serious condition. I can’t make any new deals with foreign companies to expand our branches, other than those which we already have deals with, except after implementing the condition of the will. I think my father knew that I couldn’t be restricted at work, he just realized that I’d do it and marry Natalie if that’s the cost. He calculated everything well.
At least it was good he didn’t make kids part of the damned conditions. We kept our fake marriage going. Finally, we almost arrived at the end of this shit. After six months, we will be able to move on and be free to cancel it.
Despite the bitterness I felt every time I saw her, I can’t turn my back to the fact that she was so innocent and young and had no one to count on except me. I had to protect her. As her step brother I feel that I am responsible on her. She doesn’t even know her biological father in person. She had never met him.
All my friends called me Mr. Heart of Steel, as I have no emotions and have never been in love, but my duty towards Natalie makes me help her and my heart softens for her. But this doesn’t negate my constant feeling that she was an obstacle between me and my father.
Sometimes, I feel I hate her whenever I remember how she ruined my relationship with my father!
I looked around again and at this time my eyes fell on her tall curved figure. She was in the backyard standing alone and seemed tired. She worked hard preparing for this party.
Her friends were around, but she seemed lonely and tired!
I let go of Debbie’s waist and with bent steps, I went to see why she wasn’t with us on the stage. After all, she was the backstage star who made this successful party. And must share with us the joy.
The moment I stood next to her, she whispered in a soft, deep sound, “I wanna have sex with h…”
That was what she just said, and my body warmed instantly. I stood behind her frozen in shock, couldn’t believe what I heard!!
What the fuck was that?
We had never talked about sex before. I never imagined her having sex!
This thought overwhelmed me. I raised an eyebrow, does she have a boyfriend?
A picture involuntarily flowed into my head imagining me having her in bed, how she would look!
I shook my head left and right to erase these unwell imaginations. What the fuck was that!! I tightened my jaw and tried with firm determination to control my stupid instinctive response.
She looked in a daze. I guess she was surprised to find me behind her.
After overcoming her shock, she approached me swaysly with a small smile.
It seemed that she was a little drunk. I smelled her sexy perfume when she got close to kissing my cheek.
It was a slow, seductive kiss. Her lips were so soft. I felt them as if they were down my body instead of my cheek!
Other than when she was a child. We had never been in that physical close before!
Suddenly, she murmured something I couldn’t focus on and moved away. I stood in shock like a virgin girl who got her fucking first kiss!
I blinked several times and felt at this moment like I was seeing Natalie for the first time. She seemed bold and different. I tried to adjust my trousers to hide that damned erection. I looked like a teenager about to cum in his pants from a cheek kiss!
I sighed and put on a gloomy expression. Frowning, attempting to conceal the trace of the overwhelming feelings I felt a moment ago. Afterward, I headed to a small group of community business among the guests.
Unaware, I kept looking at the doorway repeatedly without reason. I couldn’t focus on the surrounding conversation.
After a while, I looked up at the door leading to the house again for the hundred times, my gaze met Natalie’s gaze finally. We stared at each other without blinking. I couldn’t take my eyes off of her. She seemed more vigilant than before. She was the one who broke the staring moment.
Her face was blushing. I think she was embarrassed.
She looked around in a daze, then joined my grandma’s group. I don’t know what a young girl full of energy would find excitement with gaffers at an engagement party!
Engagement party!! For a moment, I forgot it was my engagement party!
“What did you say about that, Raf?”
I looked back at the man who was waiting for my reply about something I didn’t know what it was!
I handed him my glass when I noticed that Natalie was standing alone, “Just a moment and I’ll be back”
Without hesitation, I headed towards her. I felt I had to ask her about her boyfriend. I had to know about him. Who knows? Maybe he was a bad guy and would hurt her!
I stood behind her sniffing her perfume, let out a deep exhale, and murmured, “Would you like to dance?”
She turned around in a daze, and without giving her a chance to respond, I put a possessive hand on her slim waist and led her onto the dance floor.
Once I put my hands around her waist, I felt I needed to kiss her deeply. Hug her until she screams and moans my name. To make her kneel on her knees and …
This was an awkward feeling I hated.
Despite that, I kept holding her between my arms near my chest. I felt that approaching her in this way was dangerous and wrong, but I didn’t make room between us!
Her skin was so fucking soft. I felt as if I could feel the blood running through her veins beneath my hands.
I couldn’t lift my gaze away from her plumpy lips while she opened and closed her mouth several times, struggling to say something.
I want to kiss her.
That fact hit me!
