Chapter 52 - The plan
Olivia POV
"I am only going to ask this once Raphael"
"Okay"
"Do you love me?"
"No" he says and my heart skips a beat.
I feel my entire body shake and I feel like I am losing balance, I thought he loved me, he told me he was falling for me. What have I done?
"I can't say that I love you, but I can say that I can't be without you, I can say that my life is boring without you" - He says after walking towards me and reaching out to touch my face. "I fell for you" - I let out
"Olivia, I need you, but I don't love you" - There it is, another stab.
"Am I enough for you?"
"You are more than enough, you are everything, can you stay?" - He wants me to stay even though he doesn't love me, what kind of game is he playing?
"I need to think Raphael" - I reply to him walking out of the bedroom. When I close the door I feel tears rolling down my face. He doesn't love me, but he wants me.
I don't know where I am going so I walk a few steps away from that door when I see Michael and I walk towards him
"Hey love you okay?" - he asks and when he looks at me I see worry all over his face. He stands up from the sofa he was sitting on.
"Do I have a bedroom I can use?" - I ask
"I thought you were sharing the bosses"
"I need some space at the moment, please"
"This way" - he says walking in the opposite direction from the room I just came out of, he takes me to an all white luxurious bedroom
"Is this okay?" he asks and I nod my head - "If you need anything ring that bell and I will come back"
I nod my head again and he leaves closing the door behind him. I sit on the bed and let my face sink into my hands. How can this be?
Is he playing a game? Or was it a lie before?
Why did he have to sleep with so many women?
I get up and walk towards the bathroom and I see a big bathtub and I decide to soak in it I turn the taps on and I let it fill in with hot water and I see some bath salts on a shelf and I grab some throwing inside.
I strip myself and I soak. As I feel the hot water touch my skin I relax immediately.
I don't know how long I have been in here but I made a decision, I am staying and I making that men fall for me, fall so hard that he won't be able to think if not around me.
I will start my plan tomorrow. Today I am going to sleep. After all this time while he was in hospital I haven't slept properly, so I am going to sleep now.
I get out of the bath and wrap myself in a fluffy white towel, and I walk to the bed.
I pull the covers down and I let the towel fall on the floor and I slide into the bed, I allow myself to drift into a deep sleep.
A few hours later
I have no idea how long I was asleep, but I wake up refreshed and today I am starting operation Falling.
I walk around the bedroom and I enter the bathroom taking care of my morning routine, someone was here as all of my stuff suddenly appeared in the bathroom, even some of my clothes are in here hanging behind the door. I decide to go commando under my black dress that is behind the door. I tie my hair into a messy bun and do some light makeup.
I walk out of the bedroom and I can't remember where Raphael's room is, so I start walking around.
"Hello?" - I say and no one answers it
"Anyone there" - I say again while I walk into a really long white corridor that has doors both sides.
I stop and wait to hear sounds and I can hear kitchen noises, so I follow the noise and I end up in a big industrial kitchen where I see Maria and Tammy preparing food.
"Maria" - I say with a cheerful voice
"Oh God, Olivia, I was so worried about you" - she says hugging me while I take a glance at Tammy that is now looking like she is about to get sick.
"Hi"-I say to her and she ignores me
"Olivia said hi Tammy" - Maria says
"I heard" she replies
"Rude much?" - I hear a familiar voice and it is Michael sitting at the kitchen island sipping his coffee.
"Good morning" - I say to him with a smile
"Someone is happy today" - he says smiling back at me
"You can say that" - I say walking towards him and taking a seat next to him
"Coffee?" - Maria asks
""Yes please"
"So, what happened to all that happiness? Do I even wanna know?" - he asks me
"I just had a really good night sleep" - I say
"I'm happy to hear that someone slept well" - I hear a husky voice coming from behind me and I see Raphael leaning against the kitchen door with his arms crossed against his chest. "I did thank you" - I say ignoring him, but I feel butterflies on my stomach
"Can I have a word with you?" he asks
"After breakfast" - I say without looking at him
"Now" - he says and I can feel he is getting impatient.
"You go, Love, I will cook you some pancakes with eggs and bacon" - Maria says
"Oh thank you" - I smile at her while I stand up and doing on purpose to jump from the seat so he can see I am not wearing any underwear. I know hoe that drives him crazy.
Raphael's eyes are dark and I can see he is pissed off, he starts walking and I follow him. He is limping a lot and I feel guilty again.
"Do you need help?" - I ask
"No" - he replies
Raphael walks into a big wooden office, everything is spectacular, massive, and strong. Everything shows power and money just like him.
He walks behind the desk and takes a seat on a big leather chair and I stand near the door.
""Close the door" - he says
I turn around and I close the door while I take a deep breath, why the fuck is he I such a bad mood? I am the one supposed to be pissed off, not him. "Take a seat" - he says
I sit in front of him and I cross my legs allowing the dress to go up a little exposing my bare legs.
"What do you think you are doing?" - he asks
"I don't know what you mean"
"Don't play the innocent"
"I really don't know what you mean" - I say again and I know I am pushing the buttons and he is going to explode
"That dress Olivia"
"What about the dress?" - I ask while looking down at it pretending I was innocent.
Raphael let out a deep breath and I could see he was trying to control his anger.
"This place is full of dangerous men"
"And?" - I ask
"You can't be serious, go change that dress, cover yourself"
"I'm not changing my clothes just because you think your men won't be able to control themselves and look at me"
I stand up making a point of getting ready to get out when I hear the chair falling on the floor and I make myself turn around to see Raphael walking towards me, with his possessive look in his eyes. "Don't you touch me" - I say
"You think you can provoke me with that dress and I will keep my hands to myself?"
"Yes I do, I didn't wear this dress for you, so keep your hands away from me" - I say and I can see his eyes getting darker with lust.
"Olivia, you should know better than to provoke me"
"Not everything is about you" - I say getting ready to leave when he grabs my arm making me spin on myself and crash against his hard chest.
"Olivia" - she whispers into my ear - "Go put some underwear on" - he says with his hands lifting the back of my dress and his hands getting a hold of my ass. A chill went down my spine and I smirked looking at him. "This is exactly what I wanted, Raphael losing his shit" - I think to myself while I press my breasts against his body getting even closer than before.
