Marissa kept tossing and turning in her bed. Rafael had stayed back in the hotel and the kids. were staying with him.
And here she was! Doing nothing but missing him.
She looked at the space beside her, her hand landed on the mattress, and started stroking the
space.
“You are still that charming man who used to speak to me so gently when I was your sister–in–law,” She said in a hushed tone, “I never knew about this side of yours Rafael. There might be sexual tension between us. But I’m not willing to give up on the lust part, taking a long sigh she lay straight, staring at the ceiling.

She thought with a pout.
The way he was caring towards her and the way he used to look at her and smile at her and breathe…
His every action had got class.
However, the reality was harsh. He had a wife back home and Marissa didn’t want to jeopardize her relationship further.
She was already in a mess.
And the man was trying hard to clean this mess for her.
“I knew you must be awake,” she heard Sophia from the doorway but didn’t look at her.
I’m missing him,” this must be the first time she was confiding in her friend so openly about what she felt for Rafael.
Sophia walked inside and headed to the bed. After settling herself, she covered her body with the quilt almost pulling it from Marissa.
“So, what’s stopping you. Mar?” she asked her friend and placed the pillow on her lap.
“He is married, Sophie!”
“He is married to you,”
“But nobody knows about it.”
“You know about it, Mar. He also believes it now. Don’t you see how he goes above and beyond to make you happy and comfortable around him? Or are you blind?”
“I’m not blind, Sophie. But why would I be his bed partner when he is still with my sister? I went back to him because of kids.”
When Sophie didn’t speak, Marissa gave her a tightlipped smile. “You know, what’s worst? I don’t know if I even deserve the divorce. Because there is nothing that can prove that we married

“And now what’s next, Mar?”
“Nothing,” Marissa chuckled sarcastically, “I don’t have anything except my kids, and I need to protect them and do anything for their safety. Someday I need to tell, Rafael that his mom and wife are a threat to the kids. If he believes me, then we are good. If he won’t then I’ll run away once again to some faraway country and will return once they turn eighteen.
“Uh, huh!” Sophie threw her arm over her friend’s shoulders and squeezed her, “Now no need to be Indiana Jones. I think he’ll believe you.”
“You think so?” Marissa propped herself up on her elbow, “Because, what I have learned, Valerie and Nina are the biggest manipulators and can easily turn any situation in their favor.”
“That was five years ago, Mar. Back then you were naïve. But not anymore. Remember how you chewed Valerie’s finger in that dream? Did you do any such thing in any of your nightmares before?”
Marissa shook her head, not able to speak anything.
“See? You are a mama bear. And nobody can even bat an eye on your kids. Just remember to take
a dentist appointment, Marissa watched her friend’s face in bewilderment.
“What has the dentist got to do with all this?”
“Silly! Chewing Valerie’s finger won’t be an easy task. Just keep your teeth ready. Make them sharper.
Throwing back her head, Marissa laughed loudly.
Sophie was right. She needed a good dentist indeed.
Holding Ethan’s hand Valerie left the dining room of the hotel. She wanted to sleep early as tomorrow she needed to be at MSin.
This was a five–star hotel. There was a seven–star hotel in Kanderton, but its occupancy was so high that they couldn’t get rooms there.
“Let’s call it a night, Ethan,” Valerie said glancing sideways as they walked, “We have an early.
start at MSin tomorrow.”
Ethan squeezed her hand, “I know, love. Don’t worry. I won’t keep you awake.”
Valerie chuckled softly, shaking her head, “It’s not crowded anymore. Otherwise yesterday I didn’t want to leave my room.”

“Must be due to the weekend. Now it’s ending so thankfully we can have more privacy here,” He then turned to her with furrowed brows, “Nervous about tomorrow?”
“Nah!” she fined back her hair over her shoulder, “Why would I be? When I’ve got you
side.
They stopped for a minute because Ethan now wanted to kiss her.

“Ethan. We are standing in the hotel lobby” she said laughingly but instead of giving her a chance to argue further he started kissing her.
“You are getting bolder day by day,” she rolled her eyes making him chuckle.
He pinched her cheek, “Yeah. I want to be bold when you are around.”
They kept roaming around in an attempt to discover the hotel that didn’t have much to offer.
“Tomorrow will be an exciting day for me!” she exclaimed with a shrug and squeezed her eyes in delight.
She was sure whoever the woman was must not be as beautiful as her. If she had kids, she must be ugly and if she had multiple kids then she must be fat and ugly.
Rafael was a desirable man and might have slipped for that woman temporarily. But now Valerie wanted to remind that woman of her place.
These low–class bimbos think that they could steal a guy and then keep milking him for his property, money, diamond jewelry, and expensive gifts.
Holding her by her waist, Ethan started walking to the elevator.
As the elevator doors slid open, Valerie froze, catching her breath in her throat.
Standing inside the elevator was Nina, wearing a stern expression on her face.
The moment Nina’s eyes landed on Valerie she also went still.
“V…Valerie? Y–you?”
“N…Nina? Y–You?”
