The Otherside Of Love || Sadistic Billionaire

Natalie’s POV

If a look could kill, Rafael’s terrifying gaze would have killed me. Despite the beauty of his eyes, his gaze was at that moment extremely frightening. I won’t lie and say I didn’t feel afraid. But I ignored him.

Once Daniel let those words out of his mouth, the hall went silent. All that was heard was the hiss of side conversations. Then journalists who were allowed into the hall approached and began peppering us with their questions.

Instinctively, I looked towards Rafael. He was frozen. Staring at us plainly. His facial expressions were unreadable.

When I asked Daniel to pretend to be my fiance, I didn’t expect that he was a well-known businessman, and I didn’t expect this fake engagement to go wild.

I just wanted him to say it within Rafael’s earshot. It was merely a plan to cut all ties with him.

“Look at his face! You should thank me”, Daniel whispered.

I felt like things had been out of control. I hissed between my teeth, while smiling at the cameras, “This was not our agreement, I did not ask you to announce this to the paparazzi!”

Daniel simply said, “Sorry, I got a little excited.”

I sighed. Didn’t he know what he got us into?

I saw Rafael from afar, he was staring at me in a scary way that made me shiver. He didn’t even bother to hide his gaze. I looked at the other side.

“I need to go to the lady’s washroom!” I said to Daniel and didn’t wait for his reply. I was angry at the way he announced our fake engagement.

I entered the washroom and stared at my reflection. Well done Natalie, a secret marriage and a fake engagement. You are managing your life in an incredible way!

A tall figure leaned on the door frame made me tense.

“Raf? What are you doing here?” I stammered and looked around, afraid that anyone would see him here.

He slammed the door with his feet and headed towards me, fixing his gaze on me, while I was retreating back until my back hit the wall behind me.

He held my chin tightly and hissed, “How dare you? How dare you get engaged to someone while you’re already a wife?”

I kept telling myself, ‘Don’t let him scare you. Don’t let him scare you.’

I tried to push his hand away, “Let go of me! Someone could see you here”

But he didn’t. He tightened his grip more and slammed his other palm on the wall next to my head.

He gritted his teeth and snapped, “How dare you?”

I shouted back, “Why not? Aren’t you engaged?”.

“This is different for God’s sake, Natalie!” he said, his voice fraught with anger.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

His answer made me hate him. How selfish is he?

“How’s it different? You are planning to marry Debbie after five months and a half. So Danial and I do”

He wiped his face with both hands and said, “I can’t believe you got engaged just three nights after our first night!”

Then he grabbed my hand and ordered, while his eyes shining in anger, “Cancel this engagement!”.

His words provoked me. How selfish could he be?

Without warning, he pressed his lips on mine. I struggled to push him away. I won’t be weak this time. I will not surrender to him.

I gathered all my strength and pushed him away from me. I don’t know where my audacity came from when I slapped him.

We stared at each other without saying a word. Our voice of breathing was the only voice heard right now.

“Don’t ever dare to kiss me again! I do not accept to betray my fiance” I knew I was adding fuel to the fire.

He grabbed my hair and hissed angrily, “Don’t push further, Nat.”

I put my hand on my head trying to relieve the pain of pulling my hair.

“Let’s end it. Let’s end this marriage here and divorce!” I said, trying to sound confident and strong. My voice sounded trembling though.

His grip tightened more and hissed before my face, “Once it went in, you became officially mine. So, be a good girl and cancel this ridiculous shit!”

Looked at him defiantly and said, “I won’t Raf, accept that.”

I heard knocks on the washroom door. I panicked and whispered, “Look what you have done. Someone is out!”

“Natalie, dear? Are you there?” Daniel’s voice came from behind the door.

Rafael and I stared at each other.

“Natalie?” Daniel said again.

“I’m coming. Just need one minute” I said, trying to make my voice normal.

“I’ll be waiting for you here!” he added.

“Okay!”

Rafael pushed me on the wall furiously and bent my hands above my head, invading my mouth, pushing his body against mine.

“How would you like to take it? Slow or fast?” he asked
