Episode 22

Oliver left with Antonio and I was left alone with Rafael and Marco (the other bodyguard). 1

“Let’s sit” Rafael said.

“What do you need to talk about? We should go back” I gave him my response wanting to get away from this room.

“I want you to remind you to stay away from my personal affairs and stop pushing my buttons” he warned.

“You need to back off. Stop treating me like your property I didn’t sign up for this,” I said now fully annoyed. 1

“You asked for my help. I told you this arrangement will be on my terms and you don’t listen to me” He gripped my jaw hard and twisted my head so that I had to look at him “You will start acting like a good girl for me, right?”

“R-right” there was a fight with me still but I didn’t want to argue because I knew I would loose. At the end of the day our deal will be over and I will go my way. Whatever.

“I like it when you’re acting all nice and polite. It’s so sweet,” he murmured and kissed me on the lips. “Don’t be so surprised. I needed to make a jealous scene since I would do exactly that if our relationship was real.”

Rafael was so confusing. One time he acts as he likes me and the moment later he’s just fulfilling the terms of our arrangement. He was either a good actor or a liar. Was it all just a game for him? 8

“Should I act like a jealous girlfriend then? Slap Elisabeth for insulting me and hitting on my man? “

“I don’t want to see myself engaging in any kind of physical violence. You could always ask Giovanni to drag her by her hair to the front doors. He would do that for you” he said, stroking my cheek and I was frightened by his gaze. He looked at me so gently. Why? There were no feelings between us, right? 33

“What would you do if I really slept with someone?” I asked although I was afraid of the answer.

“I’d kill him,” he said calmly, tracing his fingers down my back as he said it, and I laughed nervously. 21

“You think I’m joking? He asked.

“I should be able to make my own decision. Whether it is talking to a guy or having sex with them” I pointed out.

I felt him grab my hair and tilt my head back. I looked into his cold, unforgiving eyes now. I didn’t want to look down, not this time.

“Eliana I am starting to think you like it when I punish you. You’re getting too bold for my liking. Do you really think I will allow you to do whatever you want while you’re in the role of my fiance? Don’t be ridiculous. Besides… I must admit it’s fun to give you orders. You’re so cute when you get angry. Being with Elisabeth was far less entertaining than being with you” 4

“Why?”

“Because Elizabeth doesn’t like me telling her what to do” Rafael responded. 1

“I don’t like either”

“Mhm” 1

“Yeah.”

“Has no one told you that lying is bad?” Rafael asked, amused.

“I’m not lying”

“You’re lying. But you don’t know how to lie convincingly “

“I’m glad as hell that our relationship is only temporary,” I said through my teeth.

“What if it isn’t?”

“What?”

“What if I want to keep you by my side forever”

I was speechless. What did he say just now? I couldn’t even collect my thought and ask him because someone knocked on the door.

“Enter”
