Chapter 15

Eva and Rafael were inside the car.

"Why can't I come with you to your mansion?"

"My family is going to be there for a few days, and I don't want you to meet them just yet."

"But why? Are you ashamed to introduce me to your family and"

Before she can say anything else, Rafael grabs the back of her neck and kisses her lips to shut her mouth.

After a few moments, he breaks the kiss and looks into her eyes.

"You are the most beautiful thing that has happened in my life, and I am proud that I chose you. But my family is a secret mafia family in this country, and our family has some principles, so I am waiting for the right time. I do not want my enemies to notice you. Did you understand?" Eva nodded

"I have bought an apartment for you; you will stay there, and if you have any problems, this is Blaze's number I have saved in your new phone; he will always help you."

With this, he kisses Eva on the forehead.

"I love you; just trust me." Eva nodded and smiled.

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

Sitting near the large glass window, with a cup of coffee in her hand, Eva was looking at the raindrops falling outside, and she was sad. More than 2 weeks had passed, and she had not talked to Rafael. That was the last day when she saw Rafael when he left her in this apartment, and he did not try to meet Eva again.

Many things were running through Eva's mind, like were his promises false, did she make a mistake by trusting Rafael , and was it right to trust someone so quickly?

Eva was in the same dilemma: for the first time, she loved someone with all her heart, and now that he is not with her, is Rafael hiding something that she should know?

Eva couldn't shake the feeling of betrayal and confusion that consumed her every waking moment. She replayed their last conversation over and over in her mind, trying to decipher any hidden meanings or clues that may have been missed. Was Rafael really the person she thought he was, or had she been blinded by her own feelings? The uncertainty gnawed at her, leaving her feeling lost and alone in the empty apartment they once shared. As the days turned into weeks, Eva couldn't help but wonder if she would ever truly understand the truth behind Rafael's sudden disappearance from her life.

Eva has called Blaze many times, and whenever she asks him about Rafael , he always gives the excuse of some meeting or trip. Rafael also does not answer any of her calls or messages; Eva's tolerance limit has been crossed. , and once again she calls Blaze.

to confront him about the situation. She can feel the frustration bubbling up inside her as she waits for him to pick up the phone. Finally, after what feels like an eternity, Blaze answers, and Eva wastes no time in getting straight to the point. "What's going on with Rafael ?" she demands, her voice tinged with anger. Blaze hesitates for a moment before responding, his tone defensive. "I told you, he's just been busy with work. There's nothing to worry about." But Eva isn't buying it anymore. She knows there's more to the story, and she's determined to get to the bottom of it.

"Don't try to hide anything from me, Blaze; did that man disappear into thin air?"

"Look, my job is only to take care of your needs and not to answer your useless questions. My boss is a Mafia King and also a businessman. What do you want him to do that he will always be in your arms? Get used to it, Eva."

Her heart was hurt by his harsh words, and tears fell from her eyes.

"Did I tell your boss to fall in love with me? Did I ask him to kidnap me and make all those promises? And now that I have fallen in love with him, what is the point of leaving me alone like this?"

She screams, and there is silence on the other line.

Blaze could hear Eva's sobbing.

"You are in the wrong world."

Saying this, he disconnects the call, and Eva angrily throws the mobile.

She feels a mix of anger and heartbreak, unsure of how to process the whirlwind of emotions that Blaze's actions have stirred up within her. The weight of his words hangs heavy in the air, leaving her feeling lost and confused. As she wipes away her tears with a deep breath, she begins to pick up the pieces of her shattered heart, and it's better for her to wait for the right time to let Rafael answer all her questions by himself.

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

Accepting this loneliness, Eva tries to be normal and waits for the right time. Two days had passed; it was nighttime, and Eva was cooking food for herself. She thought that instead of crying like this, she herself should give time to others, and that is why he thought of watching a movie.

While cooking, Eva played her favorite song and swayed her hips to the beat. It is more important to love yourself.

Suddenly she gets distracted by the doorbell ringing, and she looks at the time; it was 10 p.m., and who could be there at this time? She was new in this building, and people didn't even know her.

To solve this confusion, Eva goes towards the door and opens it. There is a man in front of her in a black hoodie and mask; it is almost impossible to recognize him.

But Eva did not react after seeing him; she opened the door and went back towards the kitchen.
