Maria's pov~ Immediately I left his car and ran up to the house and I entered my room . I began to cry. I knew he was known to be rude but I didn't know it was this bad. I know at my arm and saw the marks left on my arm due to his strong grip on my arm. I cried more and more because.i couldn't believe this was how I was to spend the rest of my life in a marriage to someone who hurt me physically and emotionally. After I was done crying I went to take my bath and I noticed that my eyes had swollen up due to the intense amount of tears I cried this night. I cleaned myself up and went to bed. Next morning I woke up pretty late. I guess it was because I was worn out and tired from the business dinner and from crying. Last night events flooded my mind and I felt a migraine coming on. I was too tired to stand up immediately so I decided to check my phone and noticed I had up to ten missed calls from Estelle and two from dad. Hmm I thought it's been awhile I talked with Dad I wonder why he was calling all of a sudden. And as for Estelle I guess she was calling for me to give her gist of how the business dinner went. I had told her that I was going to attend a business dinner with Rafeal and she had been excited, which was what I didn't even have time to do. I decided I would call Dad first, maybe it was something important that had him calling me. I dialed his number and he picked up. “Hello dad,how are you doing today”? I asked him. “Sorry, I didn't pick your call before I was asleep. “I'm well my princess,I called you because of something important. It seems that Rafael complained about you to his father. Did you do anything to provoke him? Dad asked I was speechless at first because obviously it was Rafeal who offended me and not the other way around but I guess he was faster in reporting the issue than me. I struggled to find the right words to say to dad. I didn't want to tell him what Rafael had did to me cause I didn't want him to worry. I also didn't want him to think that I would purposely provoke Rafeal. “I'm sorry about that dad, I didn't know what came over me. I will apologize to him” I replied. Decideding to take the blame is a better choice I thought to myself. Cause telling the truth will cause much bigger problems so I thought it better to end it. “I know it must be hard for you, marrying someone you hardly know but please do not provoke the Santino's so our situation won't be more worse than it already is” he said. I felt sad knowing that my father still felt guilty and because the Santino's were the cause of it all. “No need to worry dad, I'm fine and I won't provoke him anymore.” I told him about my desire to find a job and he agreed but told me to discuss it with Rafeal first and I cringed wondering what he would say and if he would even approve of it. After our call I proceeded to call Estelle and know why she had called me earlier on. It turns out it was about applying for our jobs and I told her I had to ask Rafael before getting back to her. I didn't tell about what Rafael did last night after the party cause I didn't want her to worry about me. When I was done with our call, I manage to stand up and then I took a look at my face in the mirror and saw that my eyes were still puffy and swollen. I sighed and went into the bathroom to take my bath. After taking my bath,I dressed up and checked my time and realized it was already 10 a.m and it was around 8 a.m that I woke up. “s**t,I wonder just how angry he would be but then again he didn't send someone to call me for breakfast so he probably isn't around” I said to myself. I waited for a bit to see if he would send someone to call but when he didn't,I decided to leave my room and go to find what I would eat as I was seriously famished. When I entered the dinning room he wasnt there but some maids were there including Joy my new friend. I smiled at her and she smiled back and same towards me. “Good morning ma'am,Mr Rafeal left early this morning to the office and asked us not to wake you up as you were very tired from yesterday's dinner. I hope you rested well and here is your breakfast” she said gesturing at the table where there was pancakes and milk and some fruits. “Thank you so much for this but since we are friends why do you still call me ma'am. Please don't you can call me by my name Maria” I told her. “I will try to, ma'am uhh I mean Maria” she corrected herself and I smiled. “I will leave you to your breakfast,if you need anything else please don't hesitate to let us know.” “Okay, thank you” I replied as they left. I looked at the table and saw how appetizing the food was looking and my stomach began to grumble. I immediately settled down and started eating while I was eating I noticed how quiet the house was and instantly began feeling lonely and wondered what was doing in the Rafeal right now. Rafael's Pov~ I sat in my office skimming through some important files and documents. I was already feeling tired. I woke up early to go to work and I didn't even sleep well due to the fact the business dinner last night .was slowly praying for evening to come so I could go home and complete my sleep. As I was still wallowing in my tiredness my bestfriend Gabriel arrived into my office. I have known Gabriel since highschool we played soccer together and we have been close buddies ever since. His mostly the good guy in our friendship. I have mostly been the one defined as a bad guy in our highschool though to my flirty ways with girls and of course I did drugs but that was then due to my father's numerous threats I have been on my best behavior since I left college. We also worked together in my company. Gabriel’s dad Mr Adam is also a billionaire just like mine and they get along very well though most times I wished I had a dad like Mr Adam because he had a nice relationship wirh his son unlike me and dad. “Hey man, you look like s**t, did you get any sleep last night” he said. “Barely,after the party I talked with Leticia for a long time before going to bed and th… “Wait, hold up” he cuts me short and asks” your still talking with Leticia even though your married now?” “Yes, is the a problem with that?? I asked him with squeezing my eyebrows together. “Of course, the are many problems with that , your speaking with your ex-girlfriend even though your married now. What do you think your dad will do when he hears about that?” “First off, Leticia is still my girlfriend. We never broke up and for the so called wife. It's just an arranged marriage we don't even have feelings for each other and lastly my dad won't find out, I assure you” “Hmm, are you so sure about that. You know he got eyes on you everywhere” And it was true, my dad didn't trust me with any and hence always had people spying on me but this time I decided to be extra careful cause if he finds out I'm still seeing Leticia then it's over for me. “Guy, I got everything under control you don't need to worry”I said to him. “Ok man if you say so. So how is your wife? How is she like? He asked smiling. I felt like punching him for smiling cause I knew it was his way of taunting me. I scoffed and told him. “She's a b***h, that's the simplest way to put it, I don't want to talk about her. I said closing the topic and continued with my work.
