RAPHEAL'S PENTHOUSE

"You don't like me so what's the problem?"

Rapheal blinked again. She was right, Ofcourse. Why does he hate the idea of getting divorced?

He didn't even know what to say or how to respond to her question.

Elsa continued looking at him, Her breasts still exposed to him,Her Blondie hair disheveled, Her lips swollen from their heated kiss and her n-pples still pebbled.

The thought of divorce made his chest ache,He was feeling something inside, Something he couldn't understand.

"I..I don't know"He stuttered again and looked away from her.

She opened her mouth to speak again but he interrupted her.

"You're not thinking clearly at the moment, You should sleep and when you remember this conversation tommorow about the divorce then you can ask me again"

And without waiting for her response,He walked out of her room and then let out a deep breath when his mind replayed the kiss they shared.

The taste of her sweet lips still lingered on his lips and he licked his lips slowly like as if he was trying to taste her again.

Rapheal sighed,He needed a long cold shower. Anything to make his mind forget about the Blondie he kissed.

EVERSTON INC 8AM

Liam stared at the email he had just received in shock.

Hazel sent him her resignation letter. Why? Was it because of what he said? His heart was aching so badly in his chest at the thought of never seeing her again.

If she leaves, then he wouldn't be able to see her every day.

She wouldn't be there to serve him coffee every morning, he wouldn't hear her voice every second, he wouldn't smell her heavenly scent anymore, and he wouldn't be able to talk to her anymore. No! He couldn't live without seeing her every day.

He had to make her stay, and if he offended her without even noticing, he'd apologize a billion times and beg her to stay.

Liam picked up his office telephone immediately, dialing a number.

"Send Hazel to my office immediately, I need to speak with her."

"She's packing her things at her office, sir"The voice responded and Liam's grip on the phone tightened.

"Send her to my office. If she leaves without me speaking to her, then you're fired!" Liam snapped, slamming the phone down and frowned.

The day just started and he was already in a bad mood. His office door finally opened and Hazel stepped in forcing a smile.

Her eyes were dull and unhappy,Liam also noticed that she was walking like she was in pain.

He immediately stood up from his chair and walked to her in concern.

"Are you okay?"

She nodded slowly, avoiding his eyes.

Liam could sense that Something was wrong.

"You're resigning?"

Hazel nodded again, still not looking at him directly. Liam took a step closer with sad eyes.

"Is everything okay,Hazel?" He asked softly.

"Did I do something to upset you?"

Hazel's eyes lifted up to meet his and all she saw was sadness in his eyes, She was also sad too. She didn't want to resign but Dawson made her do it.

"No sir, You didn't do anything to upset me"She responded softly. "I..I just need to go"

Liam clenched his fists again.

"Why?, Give me a valid reason about why you want to leave"He demanded softly and she swallowed hard.

"I..I can't, it's personal"

Liam's eyes roamed her face and he let out a sigh before stepping more closer to her.

"But I don't want you to go"He said softly and her chest warmed. He cupped her cheeks gently, staring directly into her eyes.

"Please don't go, I'll go insane if I don't even see you for a day or even hear your voice"

Hazel's heart skipped a beat at his words, No guy had ever said something so sweet to her before. It made her want to cry.

"Liam, please..." She whispered, her eyes welling up in tears. "You can't say things like that to me.

"But it's the truth," he whispered, his face inches away from her.

"I like seeing you every day, like listening to your voice and laugh every day,i like you serving me coffee with your bright smile every day. I like the way you always know how to make me feel better when I'm stressed,I like everything about you,I like..You..."

Her eyes widened and she immediately moved away from him,Her heart pounding hard against her chest.

"Please stop" she begged, her eyes brimming with tears. "Thank you for everything you've done for me. I have to go now."

Hazel turned to leave, but Liam's voice stopped her.

"Hazel, wait.."

She didn't dare turn around to look at him again.

"I'll call you and please don't avoid my calls"

Hazel nodded, without speaking and she was about to step out of the office when she suddenly remembered something.

"Before I go,I have to tell you something. Sophie is in love with you"

Liam's eyes widened.

Hazel immediately rushed out of his office before he'd ask her more questtions.

Her heart ached so bad and all she wanted was to cry her eyes out.

RAPHEAL'S PENTHOUSE, SATURDAY

Elsa's eyes fluttered open, and she groaned, wincing in pain.

Her head was throbbing hard and she closed her eyes with a groan, trying to remember what had happened last night.

She remembered going to the club, laughing and dancing and then...everything became fuzzy.

Elsa recalled drinking shot after shot, losing count of how many and then, she was kissing some guy, his face blurry in her head.

She cringed in disgust when she recalled how he was touching her and she wasn't even bothered then.

And then she remembered Rapheal sudden appearance,He kept beating up the guy and then he carried her home and then she kissed him.....

Wait! What? Her eyes widened. She kissed him and he even touched her babies. He touched her boobs!

Her cheeks flushed in embarrassment. How dare he! He should have pushed her away but he didn't until she.... She sat on his banana!

Elsa let out a scream of embarrassment against the pillow but it was muffled. He felt hard, large and....

"Shut the hell up!"She scolded herself. "We're supposed to hate him remember, I'm supposed to make him regret everything he said to me but I kissed him"She groaned again, pulling her hair in furstration.

Her mind suddenly recalled when she asked for a divorce,The look on his face shocked her,He stuttered and....

Elsa blinked as her brain suddenly went blank, She didn't remember what had happened next and his response.

But why was he stuttering last night?

She smirked.

Elsa stood up and immediately walked to the bathroom.

She brushed her teeth and then showered. After she was done, She wore a pair of pink bum shorts barely convering her ass but it did and a fitted white tank top.

She brushed her tangled blonde locks and when it was finally straight,A grin spread across her face as she stared at her reflection.

She looked hot, and she knew it.

Plan A: Drive Rapheal crazy.

She smirked again and her phone began ringing, Her eyes lit up when she saw who was calling.

It was her dad.

She picked it up immediately.

"Hi Daddy,How are you doing?"She asked softly.

"I am fine and you? How's Rapheal treating you?"He asked gently and she almost let out a sigh.

"Good, How's Cecilia and Mother?. I've missed you so much"She pouted, like he could see her.

"I've missed you too"He sighed and she grinned. "I called to invite you and Rapheal over for lunch"

"Oh"Elsa mumbled, She didn't feel like seeing Cecilia expecially her Stepmother.

"Will you both come?"

"Sure, We'll be there."She said nervously.

"Alright, See you soon. My regards to your husband"He chuckled and she laughed awkwardly.

"Okay, See you later. Kisses"

She hanged up and smiled widely but then her smile fell when she realized that she had to inform Rapheal.

Elsa dropped her phone and walked out of her room, She walked to the kitchen and met Maria preparing breakfast.

"Good morning Maria"She chirped, with a bright smile.

"Morning Elsa, How are you doing?"Maria turned to her, smiling nicely.

"Good and bad, Headache is killing me"Elsa sighed and Maria chuckled.

"That is what happens when you drink too much,Do you need a cup of coffee?"

"Yes please but first where's Rapheal?"She asked.

"He's working out in the gym"She responded and Elsa gulped.

"Oh okay, I'll go check and I'll come take the coffee. Thank you"She kissed Maria's cheeks and immediately headed towards the Gym with her heart beating fast nervously.

GYM**

Rapheal lifted the weight, his chiseled abs flexing.

His biceps bulged, muscles bulged out as lifted the the weight.

Sweat dripped from his brow, trickling down his chest and abs, glistening on his skin.

His panted heavily as he lifted the weight up and down and when he felt exhausted.

He dropped it back down, his chest heaving, his muscles tensed, and his body glistening with sweat.

Rapheal suddenly felt a presence behind him and he turned around, his eyes falling on Elsa, whose mouth was open, staring at his body.

Her eyes were wide with, her gaze fixed on his chiseled chest and abs.

His eyes trailed down her body, taking in the pink bum shorts that she was wearing and the tank top that exposed her flat sexy belly.

Her blonde hair was loose, falling down her shoulders and his eyes trailed up to her face,Her lips...He swallowed hard and looked away.

Rapheal's lips curled into a smirk when he noticed that she was still staring.

He leaned against the weight bench, still staring at her until he finally decided to speak up.

"Like what you see?"

Damn,His voice.

Elsa blinked back to reality, fighting back the blush threatening to spread across her cheeks.

"No"

"Yes!"Her inner girl screamed.

"What are you doing here?"

"Trust me I didn't want to be here"She responded coldly.

"My dad called,He invited us for Lunch so I came to inform you"

He grunted in response and began walking towards her.

"Are you coming or not?...Why am I even asking? You have no choice cuz I already told him that we'll be there"She retorted sharply and he smirked.

Feisty, He liked that.

"I'll be there"He responded.

"Good"She said coldly. "And also about that kiss last night,It was a mistake and it will never happen again"

"So you do remember?"He eyed her and she frowned.

"You sure you don't want that to happen again?"He added lowly, his eyes on her lips and her heart fluttered hard against her chest.

"100 PERCENT"She responded, suddenly getting nervous that he was now close to her.

Elsa's eyes were fixed on Rapheal's sweaty body as he walked closer.

She breathed in deeply, taking in his scent. It was a mix of sweat and cologne, and it smelled amazing. She didn't know sweat could smell so good.

"You were the one that kissed me"He was now face to face to her and she gulped again.

"Like I said,It was a mistake and how dare you touch my babies?"

"Your tiny boobs?"He smirked and she glared at him.

"If they were so tiny then you should have left it alone,I like them like that"

"You enjoyed it"

"I was drunk!"She exclaimed, flushing red.

"But you still enjoyed it, You said you wanted to eat my banana?"He almost chuckled.

Her cheeks flushed red in embarrassment. Gosh! She would never drink alcohol ever again!

"Your mouth is too tiny to eat it,Trust me"

"I don't want to eat it"She rolled her Eyes. "And also let's not forget about the divorce topic,I meant that"

Rapheal's face fell and she smirked.

"We're not allowed to divorce until six months"

"I know"Elsa responded. "And when the Six months is over, We're done. I want a divorce"

He couldn't speak again.

She stared at him for a while and then turned around to walk out, His eyes fell on her ass shaking and he was unable to look away.

"Lock the door behind you"He mumbled.

"Your hands aren't paralyzed"She stepped out without looking the door leaving Rapheal speechless again.
