Chapter 8

Eva's eyes open, and she sees that Rafael is sitting next to her, and she can feel that her hands are no longer tied and that Rafael is also applying some kind of ointment to her wrists.

Eva looks at him with surprise, and Rafael smiles at her.

"See, baby, I told you not to move too much; you hurt yourself. You should have listened to me. How can you be so stubborn?"

Eva releases her hand from his grip and moves away from him, and Rafael looks at her with a serious look as if he didn't like her actions.

"I don't think I need permission to touch something that belongs to me, right? But look, I've kept my commitment; do you want me to lose control?"

Eva does not reply.

"So, what are you thinking, baby? Are you ready for a deal?"

Eva stares at him.

"I don't own any clothes. If I'm here for seven months, I'll need my clothes, laptop, and phone right now."

Rafael laughs.

"What was so funny?"

"Look, baby, right now you can't get a laptop or mobile because you have still failed to win my trust. And as for clothes, let me take you shopping. Get ready in 10 minutes."

"Are you crazy? I will go out in these clothes."

"Well, you don't look that bad in my shirt, and trust me; your boyfriend is so powerful that no one will even look at you."

"I don't care; I want my clothes."

"I will send it right away." With this, Rafael leaves from there, and Eva lies down on the bed and wonders why all this is happening to her only. But there was truth in Rafael's words: there is no one there to look for her. Neither her family nor her friends nor any of her co-workers care if she is there or not, so she takes a deep breath and agrees to Rafael's deal because she has no other option right now.

**************************

Eva and Rafael were in the car and after some time, their car stopped, and Eva took a sigh of relief. They reached the mall, but as soon as she got out of the car,

Her eyes widen as she stands in front of a private jet.

Rafael also gets out of the car and stands next to Eva, and Eva looks at him with surprise.

"I thought we would go to a mall."

"We will go, baby, not here but in Florence, Italy."

Eva's eyes widen. She never imagined shopping at a Gucci store in Italy.

"What?"

"Come on now; we have a lot to buy."

With this, Rafael goes inside the jet, and Eva has to follow him.

As they step inside the luxurious private jet, Eva is in awe of the opulence surrounding her. The plush leather seats, the elegant decor, everything screams luxury. Rafael settles into a seat and gestures for Eva to sit next to him. "I wanted to surprise you," he says with a smirk. Eva can't believe her luck - a spontaneous trip to Italy, shopping at a high-end designer store, all with the man she never thought to by her side.

"So we can go now."

"Do you know how to fly a plane?"

Rafael was surprised by this question from Eva.

"And why is that baby girl?"

"Because I want you to fly this plane for me."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, of course."

Smile on his face.

"Okay, but you have to sit next to me."

"What?"

She wanted to stay away from Rafael, and that is why she made this condition, but her move backfired on her. She ended up sitting next to him anyway.

With all the preparations, Rafael sits on the pilot seat, and Eva has to sit with him. On this long journey, she will now have to sit with him in this small cockpit, which she wanted to avoid.

She couldn't help but feel a mix of nerves and excitement as she settled into the seat beside him, the hum of the plane's engines filling the small space. Rafael glanced over at her with a smirk, clearly amused by her discomfort. Despite her initial reluctance, Eva couldn't deny the rush of adrenaline that came with the idea of flying the plane alongside him. As they prepared for takeoff, she couldn't shake the feeling that this unexpected turn of events was going to be a journey she would never forget.

Rafael was piloting the plane very comfortably, as if it were no big deal for him. This man has so many hidden talents; what is there that this man can't do? Eva was continuously staring at Rafael with this thought, whose entire attention was on flying the plane.

"Are you going to stare at me like that, baby? We've just started."

Rafael looks at her.

"I wasn't looking at you, just me. She looks around her; I was looking at this button, this red one."

Rafael laughs after listening to her, and Eva also smiles unknowingly, but then she remembers that she is with her kidnapper, and her smile disappears.

"I'm tired. I want to sleep."

"OK, you can sleep in the bedroom in backside."

"Ok"

With that, she walked away, and Rafael was happy with her presence.

He never expected her to be so calm and composed, even after being kidnapped. As he continued to fly the plane, he couldn't help but admire her strength and resilience. Despite the circumstances, there was something about Eva that intrigued him. He found himself wanting to know more about her, to understand what made her tick. But for now, he had to focus on getting them to their destination safely. As the plane soared through the sky, Rafael couldn't shake the feeling that their journey was just beginning.
