Chapter 110

  Araceli POV

  "Valeria is asleep."

  Raphael said in a low voice as he came downstairs with me.

  I took a deep breath, turned my back to him, and said calmly, "Mr. Lancaster, you should go back now."

  "I told you not to call me Mr. Lancaster."

  Raphael paused and took my arm, making me turn around and look at him.

  He stared into my face. "Call me Raphael."

  I frowned slightly, pursed my lips a little reluctantly, and said, "Fine."

  "And what should I call you, honey?"

  Raphael pulled me against his chest.

  I couldn't help but try to push him away.

  His hands suddenly wrapped around my waist. Before I could break free, he wrapped his arms around me.

  "Shhh. There's someone outside."

  What?

  I nervously looked out the window. There seemed to be a dark shadow flickering past the window.

  Someone tried to sneak into my house!

  Raphael tightened his arm around my waist and leaned close to my ear.
