"Your Father has arrived"

Oh.no.

He is finally here. The man Rafael was talking about. I am about to meet the one he wants to have revenge on. The top one in the lists that he wants to crush.

I felt how Rafael tighten the hand holding mine. His eyes changed quickly from the happy to cold. His face hardens answer darkens hearing what the boy announced.

Not just him, but his siblings also silence. Like they were afraid of their Dad. Mandy cradled her child and turn away to put the little girl in her stroller. Josh took a deep breath and arranged his blue tie, Zac seems to get nervous too and it's very visible in their eyes that they are not too excited to see Mr. Knight.

"Rafael..." I softly called him, because I don't know what to do.

"Stay with Steve for a while" he whispered to me and I felt Steve's hand grab my arm and pulled me to then.

"What's going on?" I asked, totally unaware of what they are planning. "Steve~"

"~Just act along with us, Dummy. We are suppose to be cousins, right?" He whispered at me "so "

Then I did what I was told. I don't know but I felt so helpless when they order me things like that. There is the feeling that I should obey them or else I can be killed. Weird, right?

A good looking man in his 60s entered the garden, with a cream colored suit with a black tie, his hair was dark brown with a little white growing hair but he still look handsome at his old age. I am sure is one good looking guy at his young age. He had striking blue eyes with perfect nose and thin lips.

And I can see that Rafael resembles him.

Oh Wait...

Don't tell me this is....

"Chris " Justin was the first one to talk and greeted his stepdad "Good to see you again"

Christoffer Knight

But I was surprise when Chris smiled and look at his children around the place. He was not that bad as I imagine he could me. I was imagining Mr. Knight coming in shouting or angry like the usual rich people are but it came out the right opposite.

Chris greeted each and everyone of his children and I can see in his eyes how much he loves them. Wait, what do I know about love anyway? I never felt being love. Except for Catalina. She sure do cares for me.

Then my heart beats fast when Rafael and his Dad's turn to face each other. Rafael remained still, cold and bold. It's like he is having a conversation through his eyes.

"Son, I am so glad to see you again. I thought you would never show up" His Dad said, patting his son's shoulder

"Maybe because I still have to prove that I am responsible son" he darkly replied.

His Dad didn't respond after that, he took a deep breath, but still covered it with a smile then he noticed us. His eyes wondered on me and Steve seems to notice that and so he stepped in front of me and put on a fake smile

"Mr. Knight" Steve greeted first to be polite.

"Steve, Don and Scott...it's been a while as well" he spoke with sharp elegance but still he must he wondering who I am so Rafael took his chance.

"Dad, please meet my wife, Isabelle. She is the one I have been talking about" Rafael rest his hand on my waist then look at me like a lovingly husband "Babe, this is Christoffer Knight, my Dad"

I smiled at Chris and we shook hands "Mr. Knight, I am so honored to finally meet you"

"Oh cut the Mr. Knight just call me Chris. Your part of the family now, Isabelle " he said kindly with a grin.

"Belle, sir. Please call me Belle" I looked up to him. He is actually pretty tall. At least Maybe he is 6'7 or more. And compare to my 5'9 I am really small.

"What made my cold son married a beautiful girl like you? I was really shock when I heard the news from Josh last week that Rafael is now married" he continue to tell me "I said I wouldn't believe it until I say so"

"Really Dad? Is it really that shocking that my whole family doesn't believe that I got married?" Rafael asked, under his breath making me laugh

"Well because you are so shy to tell what you really feel" I smiled, playing to be sweet at my husband.

"Rafael? Shy? I don't think that two fits in a sentence" Bran joked making Rafael to glare at him. Why this man has no humor.

"Well, how did you two meet and how long have you been together?" Chris asked us, his eyes turns serious and ready to test me. Uh Oh, here comes the follow up questions.

"We met because of Steve" I answered, looking at Rafael and he seems to be okay with my story "Oh, Steve and I are cousins"

"With Steve? I thought Steve doesn't have any other family members?" Jack asked

"She is the last one" Steve cut in quickly. Wow, they are good in playing along with us. Seems like they are expert at things like this.

"That's good" Chris only murmured but still not convinced

"Steve introduced her to me saying that she is going to stay at the hotel for a week then we just got along" Rafael explains the fake story that they made.

"How long have you been dating before you lovebirds got married?" Justin asked

"A year" Rafael replied quickly

"What is your job, Belle ?" Chris immediately asked, I think he is checking me if I fit for his rich son. This is bad. We didn't talk about that one.

"I think it's rude to ask my wife that question all of the sudden. Don't worry Dad, I wont disappoint you with my wife. She comes from a well family, she is well-educated and she is something everything I would be proud of" Rafael snapped, causing his Dad speechless of his words. To be honest, me too is speechless. No one stood up for me before but it was all just lies.

"Did you ready had the honeymoon?" Mandy asked with a cheeky smile to avoid some of the tension.

I shook my head, a slight blush coming out "W-well~"

"~No, we haven't yet. But we will sure will later this year" Rafael said, helping me answer.

"Not yet? What kind of a husband let his wife Wait for the honeymoon!" Chris exclaimed, "No husband is gonna let his wife wait. I will booked you a ticket for your honeymoon whether you like it or not right away" he said, smiling but there is something behind it.

"Dad~"

"~no buts, Rafael." Chris' serious and low voice leaving us to just accept it. Jeez, a honeymoon with Rafael. I don't think I can handle that! My face flush immediately when I think things people do in honeymoons.

"Then why didn't you introduced her to us before getting married?" Zac butted in to avoid the serious tension between them.

"Because you might think that she is just one of my one night girls so I brought her here as my wife already and I know the behaviors of these bastards" he narrowed his eyes at his siblings "Someone might steal her away from me" and his eyes darkens

A laugh escaped from the others "Hey! I don't steal someone else's girlfriend" Josh raised his hand jokingly

"You are not the one he is talking about, Josh" Mandy said, rolling her eyes then the others silence...

What's wrong???

They all looked at Rafael and it feels like everything went awkward. Is something wrong? Something about stealing girlfriends?

"You are so massively screwed" Scott muttered then laughed again. I don't know if I should know the meaning of that or just let it passed.

"Anyway, why don't we eat first?" Chris broken the silence and shouted the maids to arrange the foods and the tables. "We eat first as a family before we entertain our guests"

Rafael went to the boys with me "Hey, what are you guys talking about?" I whispered at him, his hand still around my waist

But he didn't replied instead he changed the topic. "You did a great job acting as my wife, Belle. But watch out for the stories you do to me" he whispered at my ear

I let out a chuckle "W-well I thought telling them something that they don't know about you" I said softly

"I think your plan by shocking your Dad has worked" Don stated, taking a sip of his wine "But are you sure you are ready for the questions?" He asked me

"Y-Yeah...this is what I'm being paid at" I replied, looking at my troubled husband "Is something wrong, Rafael?"

He raised his head and tried to avoid eye contact with me "Nothing, never mind me" he spoke but I am sure that something is troubling him. "Let's eat?"

I hesitantly nod my head to answer. Since that girlfriend thing he mentioned, something seems to bother him. But he just grab my hand because he knows that I don't believe him. He guided me to our round table with him beside me, with Steve next to me, then Scott and next is Don.

Our foods were served in front of us and this is the first time I had ever tasted this kind of food and there are too many utensils. I don't know which one of them I should use. But I decide for myself.

I just picked the normal size fork and dipped it know the food but the others looked at me while I ate the crazy looking salad.

"What?" I asked, clueless. "Am I using the wrong fork?"

Rafael cleared his throat and leans closer to me "When eating a salad, use the salad fork" he showed me the smaller one.

Are you serious? The looks they gave to me is like I have grown two heads on my shoulders but for a normal and simple thing like that! Are you kidding me?! They are just forks! As long as I can eat my food any utensils are fine! Stupid rich kids.

"The heck! Why do you have so many forks and knives!" I snarled making the boys laugh at me. "The important thing is you eat the food that is served for you"

"Okay, Mother" Scott said sarcastically making me glare at him but he just stick his tongue out and continue eating the salad.

I used the salad fork that Rafael shown me to eat the crazy salad with the boys teasing me how innocent I am. Well sorry, I am just an entertainer in a club and never had the chance to enjoy the world that I am in!

I haven't even watch a television for 6 years thats why I am so careful and scared to open Rafael's huge flat screen TV in the living room but I don't have one in my room so I don't feel kinda bored.

I don't even own a pair of slippers! Because after I go to the club, I go home and sleep then when I wake up, I will take a bath then change and go to work. The same cycle everyday. I never had a day off actually. No time to buy slippers since I always wear stilettos with worn out colors or cheap knee high boots.

We ate our foods like kids. We were teasing each other, talking a little loud, Scott was a little funny and he always teases me to, Don was a serious man but he is also a flirty and mischievous one inside. Steve is more like the silent yet he listens to us too but my husband? No, he is not paying any attention. Whatever that is bothering him also bothers me. So I don't feel that much comfortable.

I am still waiting for this Roberto but they said that he is taking care of a meeting before he gets here with his fiance. They are totally having a little war here.

After the meal, everybody had their own life. Each of them started to entertain the guests. Scott and Don also left, Steve stayed in one place, drinking his red wine, I bet he likes to be alone than to mingling with friends.

Rafael was already talking to this old looking guy but he is handsome though with a beautiful blonde girl beside her. I am going to jump on a building if she is his boyfriend because the woman is too beautiful. Maybe her granddaughter.

"Aren't you going to talk with some guests?" I asked Steve who is leaning on the post, without a care in the world.

"No" he simply answered, his eyes wondering around before he looked at me "Your husband is calling for you"

"What?" I turn to Rafael and saw him signaling me to come to them. So I did what my master signaled me to.

I walked closer to them and I notice the smile in Rafael's face. Oh the business face. He acts so friendly and approachable with others but his true self is perfectly the opposite.

When I got closer, Rafael wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me to his side "Babe, this is Mr. Douglas Wilson, he owns almost half of Paris' successful companies there, he is also owns thousands of hotels all around the world" Rafael told me leaving me in awe

This old man is better than he looks. "Hello Mr. Wilson" I greeted, politely smiling

"So this is the mysterious lucky woman that everyone is going crazy to know" he spoke with those thick French accent "How you are darling?"

"I-I'm doing great. Enjoying of my life being this man's wife" I said lovingly with a grin "Are you enjoying the party?" I asked using my skills as an entertainer

"Yes, of course, thanks for asking" He replied, "Oh, Please meet my girlfriend Ms. Chantal Davis, she is the next founder of my company in Paris."

Chantal and I shook hands, Wow, she's pretty. Her long bouncy hair seems to be so soft, she had beautiful dreamy green colored eyes, she is tall, slender figure and she seems to be a supermodel. But she is dating this old man?!

Could she be after his money?

Suddenly, it's me and Chantal were chatting while Rafael and Douglas doing their business talk or something.

Chantal is very nice and sweet but I can see that she is a little shy "How long are you and Mr. Wilson...dating?"

It took her seconds to answer me "Uh... 5 years"

Really? 5 years?! "Wow, that is long" I was surprised to hear that from a strange couple "No plans on getting married yet?"

"W-we still haven't talk about it yet" she answered letting out a weak laugh "I think I am too young to get married. But my boyfriend is too old, isn't he?"

I chuckled "Yeah, to be honest, I really was surprise when he told me you were his girlfriend. Pardon me, because I thought you were his daughter"

She laughed back "No worries, I got that all the time. But who cares right?"

I shrugged and smiled "Yeah, you're right. What you feel is the most important thing"

"Yeah, look at you and your husband. You two look good together" she said, smiling at me, showing me those perfect white teeth she had "I can see it in your eyes"

We look good together? But these are all pretend and fake. The stories and the smile we had are also fake. But in our eyes? Am I showing my feelings through my eyes? But I never felt love before so I don't know.

After a few more talks then Rafael introduce me to 10 more other guests. I don't even know their names anymore. They all came from different countries just to meet me! How cool was that? They are all excited to see me. How touching.

But after all those chat, I felt a little tired seeing those people. So I sat down and found an empty table, grab a glass of wine then later, Rafael joined me.

"Is it always like this?" I asked him, drinking my wine.

"To be honest, babe, I have been in millions of parties and this is one of the least I have attended" he told me, smiling playfully "Are you okay?"

I nod my head "Yeah, those people took me by surprise. I didn't expect someone flying around the world just to see me." I said laughing

Rafael laughed silently "You will get used to it"

"Wow, thanks for the advice" I muttered, rolling my eyes. "You sure are famous"

"Me? Famous? You are the one they were looking forward to not me" he said, stating the truth. Well, he is right in that one.

"So, who else do you want to introduce to me?" I questioned, finishing my drink and lean back on my seat.

"Actually~"

"Roberto! My son!" I heard Chris voice in the whole party room of the mansion.

I saw how Rafael flinch a breath, knowing who just came. Not just him but I am nearly freaking out here. I don't know what should I do to help or tell Rafael at this point. He became stiff and I felt like he is calming or readying himself for whatever is going to happen.

Rafael and I stood up and I saw a man with blonde hair, nice body underneath his black suit, tall, blue eyes, he didn't resemble his Dad not like Rafael. He walks in with a huge smile, as Chris greeted him.

Now I can see why Rafael wants to have his revenge. You can see that they sure are close. Chris really shows that he likes Roberto more from the action he is showing.

She had a beautiful girl beside him, his fiance probably that Josh has been talking about. She had long soft brunette hair that seems to be take care perfectly, her green eyes can shine and stand out, her pointy nose is wonderful, she is wearing a red lipstick and it added an extra beauty for her.

She had a wonderful figure that can make all boys drool just looking at her and I can see he us attracting many attention. Many people came to them and told them how happy they are to see him again. Also ladies went to the brunette beauty to tell her how sexy she looks. She must be popular.

Scott, Don and Steve went to us and Don grab my hand and pulled me back "Let your husband do the first move" he whispered to me and they stood close to me like bodyguards.

Roberto was the one who walk to his brother because knowing Rafael, he won't go there to greet him.

"Brother," Roberto called him "I didn't expect you to attend this party" he said, his husky voice is very similar to him.

"Want me to leave?" Rafael hissed, in a rudely tone. I can see his burning gaze.

"Will you?" Roberto hissed back, their eyes were shooting daggers at each other. So, they really don't get along.

Before a fight can go on between them, Justin cut in and stopped them "Ladies, ladies, cut it out will yah? Don't start a bitch fight here with all of these guests who came from different countries just for us" he said, sounding a little sarcastic but true.

The brunette beauty was staring at Rafael with sad eyes like she wants to talk to him or something but they know each other? Something is fishy with that look. Rafael seems to be avoiding some eye contact with them.

Then suddenly, "Oops" Scott shove me to them that he did it on purpose causing me to almost tumble towards Rafael but luckily he catches me by my waist. What's that? A party of the plan?

"Babe, are you alright?" Rafael asked in his fake sweet yet sexy tone.

"Sorry, we were just playing a little" Scott apologized which made me look so confuse of what is going on. What are they playing now?!

"Want me to kick your ass, Scott? You could hurt her" Rafael blurt out making me more be confused and feel awkward at the moment. Playing protective much???

"Don't worry, love. Weare just playing and teasing each other. Right, cousin?" I played along and thankfully Steve nod his head at me. I thought he might snob me.

"Good. Cause I am ready to kick him out" Rafael said, smiling at me before placing a kiss on my forehead.

"Your wife?" Brunette beauty asked, her eyes gazing at me like judging me. Her tone came out unexpected than I thought. I thought her tone was sweet but it was tough and strong. I hate to say this but there is a disgusted in there.

"Yes, this is my wife, Isabelle Knight" he introduce

"Isabelle, so the news are true" Roberto shook hands with me "I am very surprise to know that you got married, brother. Knowing that attitude"

"Attitude? My husband is very caring and been the best husband any woman can wish for. That's why I couldn't believe when people are saying that my husband is very cold" I defended Rafael and I think that is a point for me.
