The Otherside Of Love || Sadistic Billionaire

Natalie’s POV

Rafael stared into my eyes, waiting for my reply, playfully brushing his fingertips against my swollen lips.

I resented being under his mercy. Not after I decided to get rid of him. Not after I decided to be stronger.

I met his gaze and offered a faint smile, he raised an eyebrow, thinking I agreed with his provocative query. However, while still locked in his stare, I swiftly raised my knee and delivered a forceful blow between his legs.

He released my hands and exclaimed painfully, “What the fuck, Natalie?”

“You need to be more cautious with your actions around me in the future.” I taunted him, disregarding the voice of sanity and logic urging me to flee.

He regained his composure quicker than I anticipated. Tilting his head to the side, he narrowed his eyes and gently grasped my chin between his large fingers, he said, “Something different about you! I wasn’t really going to do this right here. I was just teasing you!”

I don’t know where I found the courage, but I pressed my lips against his, relishing the surprise on his face, I said, “This will be our last kiss, Rafael. You can take it or reject it!”

He peered deeply into my gaze and inquired, “Are you trying to manipulate me?”

I enjoyed observing the bewilderment in his eyes. In fact, he hadn’t witnessed anything yet.

I won’t reveal my intentions to him.

I’m going to lead him to the sea, and make him back thirsty.

“Natalie? Are you alright?” Daniel asked again.

I traced the strong edge of Rafael’s jaw with my finger and replied to Daniel’s question, “Honey, just a second, I’m comin..!”

Before I finished speaking, Rafael captured my lips with his dominant lips once more, exploring every inner corner with his tongue..

“Okay, beautiful. I can wait for you my entire life. Take as long a time as you need”, Daniel said from behind the door while Rafael was occupying my mouth. I heard the melodic sound of Daniel’s whistle. I’m sure he knew that Rafael was with me.

This was the embrace I had longed for my entire life, but he didn’t belong to me. I had accepted that fact from a young age.

I pushed him away from his muscular chest and remarked, “My fiance is waiting for me, and your fiancee must be searching for you everywhere.”

He cupped my face in his hands and murmured, “I may seem patient with your actions, but this patience has its limits. You are my wife. Let’s discuss all the obstacles hindering our marriage.”

I swallowed hard, meeting his gaze intensely and searching into his eyes.

“We can’t discuss this here in the washroom. What if I come to your room at night?” he added.

Discussing things in my room was a double-edged weapon, but I agreed.

After agreeing to meet in my room once we returned home, I exited the washroom. Daniel whispered in my ear, “Is doing smut in a hotel washroom worth the risk?”

I glared at him wide-eyed, then playfully I punched him on his shoulder, “Rude!”

I walked ahead, and he followed in long strides, snapping, “Come on! I deserve to know. I watched over the place for you to ensure no one caught you!”

I shook my head in disbelief.

I was unaware of the malicious gaze that was observing me.

However, the event eventually ended. Daniel insisted on driving me home, which was normal considering he was our neighbor.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

He started the engine of his Ferrari and teased me, “Are you worried?”

I rolled my eyes, knowing he was trying to make me feel awkward. I scoffed, “Why would I be worried!?”

He laughed as we passed the hotel’s massive gate, “You didn’t see Rafael’s face when I announced our engagement, did you? I’m sure he wouldn’t be satisfied with just what happened in the washroom.”

I shook my head, “To answer your first question, I didn’t. And to your second question, I don’t care!”

I lied. I did see his gaze, and what I saw frightened me to the core. However, I was mentally prepared. Tonight, during our meeting in my room, I’ll show him who Natalie truly is. I am no longer the naive young girl he left behind long ago.

Even if I gave him my virginity, it was nothing more than a one-night stand. I know he will bring up our marriage situation and propose that I become his temporary-in-bed-wife.

“Come on, Natalie! He must have meant something significant in your life for you to tell such a big lie for him!” he concluded, interrupting my thoughts.

“No, he’s not!” I said firmly, slamming the car door as I got out.

I waved my hand at Daniel and said, “thank you for the ride!” Then I entered the villa.

Rafael no longer means anything to me other than being a stepbrother, nothing more. I promised myself.

His love will crush me and I will have to save myself.

I aimed to head straight to my room. I knew that news of my sudden engagement would spread, and Grandma and Tobi would investigate me.

As I suspected, they were seated facing each other on the sofa in the living room. Once I entered, Tobi rushed towards me. She grabbed my right hand, which bore the diamond-encrusted ring, and asked excitedly, “Is what we heard true?”

I smiled but remained silent. I hated lying to them.

“Wow! The ring is very elegant. He has great taste!” she added.

I chuckled inwardly; I had bought this ring myself.

“Thank you aunty!” I mumbled.

Grandma wasn’t as excited as Tobi; she smiled a small smile and said, “It looks good.”

I sat next to her and hugged her from behind, resting my head on her shoulder. Even though she wasn’t my biological grandmother, she was the only grandmother I knew and had. She became my loving grandmother when my mother married her son. She never treated me as anything less than her own granddaughter.

She stroked my hair tenderly and said, “I will not accept anything for my girl that is not of her caliber. This ring means nothing to me if that sycophant does not sit with me and Rafael and ask for your hand from us.”

“Mother, why do you complicate things? It’s obvious that the man is in love with her,” Aunt Tobi said.

“”You hush. If you were an expert in men, you wouldn’t have been divorced three times, thinking each one was the love of your life,” Grandma snapped.

Aunt Tobi rolled her eyes.

I unlocked my phone screen when I heard a new message notification.

[I want to meet you tomorrow morning for an important matter. Don’t tell Raf. I will send you the address via WhatsApp]

It was from Debbie.
