Rapheal wrapped his arms around Elsa's waist as they danced slowly to the slow music. Everyone was staring at them, including his dad, so he did his best to smile like he was happy.
The music ended, and Rapheal immediately let go of Elsa frowning.
She looked up at him and before she could say anything, A tall light skin beautiful lady approached them.
Her long, golden blonde hair cascaded down her back as she walked and her bright blue eyes were filled with surprise.
"I can't believe my bro cousin is married!" she exclaimed, hugging Rapheal tightly.
Rapheal chuckled, his arms wrapping around her in a gentle squeeze. "Easy, cuz," he smiled, loosening his grip.
"Don't suffocate me."
She rolled her eyes, pulling away from him then her eyes turned to Elsa who stood awkwardly staring at them.
She was so tired, Her legs were hurting a lot. All she wanted was a soft comfortable bed right now.
"OMG!" She exclaimed as she looked at Elsa. "You're so pretty, I love you already!" She rushed over to Elsa, enveloping her in a warm hug.
"I'm Sophia, Rapheal's cousin," she said, beaming at Elsa.
Elsa's cheeks flushed a delicate pink and she smiled shyly.
"Thank you,"Elsa said softly, returning Sophia's hug.
"I'm Elsa, nice to meet you," she said, smiling warmly. Sophia stepped back, her eyes scanning Elsa's face.
"I can see why Rapheal fell for you," she said, winking. "You're absolutely gorgeous!"
Elsa blushed again and Rapheal cleared his throat, frowning.
"When did you arrive?" he asked gruffly.
"Just a couple of hours ago. Uncle called me in Seoul and told me the shocking news,I had to fly back ASAP to see it for myself"
Rapheal's frown deepened. "What did father tell you?"
"Well..He said that you were getting married to a wonderful girl, and that I had to meet her," she said, her eyes shifting to Elsa, who was watching them with a wide smile.
And then suddenly, Sophia's eyes widened as she spotted Liam, and a radiant smile lit up her face.
With a squeal of excitement, she rushed towards him, pulling herself into his arms.
"LIAM!!!!!!" she exclaimed, wrapping her legs around his waist. "Oh my god, I've missed you so much!"She squealed Kissing all his face.
Liam chuckled, laughing as he caught Sophia, spinning her around in excitement.
"I've missed you too, Soph. You look really pretty" he said, grinning widely.
Sophia giggled, brushing his rough hair back as she gazed at him smiling widely.
Her heart was pounding hard against her chest as she stared at him,All her hidden feelings for him were back as she saw him.
"I'm so glad I'm back" she exclaimed and Liam dropped her down still smiling widely.
"I thought you loved staying in Seoul so what brought you back?"
She smiled, taking his glass of wine from him and took a sip from it and that was when she noticed Hazel staring at them.
Hazel's eyes narrowed as she watched Liam and Sophia.
A small frown appeared on her face. She had always been wondering why a man as handsome and loving as Liam would be single. It was impossible.
She didn't understand why she was feeling a twinge of Jealousy as she watched them. They looked so close like really close. Were they together?
And if they were it was none of her business, She was just Liam's secretary nothing more so it was none of her business if they were dating or not.
"Who's that?"Sophia asked Liam curiously. "I've never seen her around before..."
Liam's eyes widened slightly, as if he'd forgotten something important. "
"Ah, sorry about that," he muttered grinning.
"Hazel meet this little firecracker Sophie, She's Rapheal's cousin. And Sophia, this is Hazel, my secretary."
Sophia smiled widely as she extended her hand to Hazel.
"Nice to meet you, Hazel" she said softly.
Hazel's expression remained polite as she shook Sophia's hand.
"Nice to meet you too, Sophia," she replied politely smiling lightly and then her eyes locked with Liam's.
She stood up and smiled at them, grabbing her purse.
"Uhm... it's late I have to go now"
Liam's face fell, His Eyes suddenly filled with sadness. "Already?"He asked, trying to hide the disappointment in his tone.
Hazel nodded, still smiling.
"Yes, I'm tired. It's been a long day"She said softly.
But the truth was, She was really scared. Scared of what Dawson might do to her when he wakes up and doesn't find her at home.
She was really terrified of facing his wrath alone in their room.
Liam immediately stood up too still staring at her.
"Let me drop you off"He offered softly and she immediately shook her head, Her eyes wide with panic.
The last time he dropped her off,it didn't end well. Dawson was really angry about it and then she had to endure a lot of pain that night.
She couldn't risk it happening again.
"No, no it's okay, I'll just call a cab and also Rapheal needs you here. Thank you very much, I'll see you tomorrow Sir"
Liam's face fell further but he nodded and forced a smile.
"Okay, If you're sure then...."
He didn't get to finish his words when she suddenly ran off leaving Liam frowning as he watched her leave.
Why did she look so scared?
He sighed and turned his attention back to Sophie.
Cecilia Smiled flirtatiously as she approached Rapheal who was outside smoking as usual with a headphone.
He couldn't stay a day without smoking. It was like an addiction. Something he does when he's thinking about something.
"Hi, baby," she said, positioning herself in front of him.
Rapheal eyed her coldly, taking a drag on his cigarette. "What do you want?" he asked gruffly.
Cecilia smiled widely.
"You seem unhappy," she observed, running her manicured fingers on his chest and she bit her lips seductively as she watched him.
Just looking at him alone made her wet.
Rapheal's expression remained icy. "It's none of your business if I'm happy or not," he retorted.
"I could make you happy," she said, her lips grazing Rapheal's ear. "You deserve someone who can satisfy your needs."
She kissed his lips softly, biting his lips before she pulled away.
"Elsa can't give you that," she purred against his ear. "But I can. I'm here for you, Rapheal."
She took his hand, sliding it down to her panties.
"I want you"She kissed his neck, leaving a hickey. "And I know you want me too,We could do a quickie right now and your stupid wife won't find out...."
Rapheal clenched his jaw, his eyes filling with annoyance. He was irritated by her presence, and her flirting was suddenly getting on his nerves and it had never happened before.
"Get off me!" he growled, pushing her away with a force that made her stumble and she fell on her butt.
Cecilia's smile faltered, and she looked shocked.Rapheal had never ever resisted her before but now he did,He wasn't even married to Elsa up to four hours.
What suddenly changed?
"R... Rapheal..."
But Rapheal didn't respond. He turned around and walked away from her, leaving her sitting alone on the floor.
