《Married to the Bidder》Chapter 13: The Surprise
Advertisement
Remember what I mentioned last night? About the honeymoon...
It's true.
This morning, Rafael just came in my room without a knock or so , and woke me up at 5 am! Who the heck in the right freaking mind who will wake a sleeping person at that time! This man is totally twisted!
"God, Rafael! You can just tell me that later. I am still sleepy" I mumbled, lazily as I try to going back to sleep but someone just suddenly yanked my blanket away, revealing me only in my white tank top and black cotton shorts!
"Too bad but the jet is waiting for us and you only have 10 minutes to get ready" he said with a smirk
What the...?! I immediately sat up from the bed as Rafael left my room, hearing him laugh huskily before shutting my door.
Who does he think I am? Flash? Yes, I know how to dress and shower quickly but pack my things? I don't think so. But stop with the thinking and just move!
I ran to my bathroom and showered for maybe 3 minutes then while I was still in my towel, I was arranging my bag. I still don't know where we are going to I don't know what should I pack. Rafael didn't gave me the full information, he just told let to get ready and there is a jet waiting for us. Sometimes, I feel that man had some throat issues because he hates talking too much.
But he does shout a lot when he was on his phone when he is talking about business.
That man is so hard to read...
I picked to wear was a simple white shirt and torn out skinny jeans and grab some white sandals with sequene designs. I didn't even put any makeup.
I don't know how many clothes should I bring so I packed 4 underwears, 2 tank tops, 3 shorts, a sundress and some sandals. I think if we are gonna stay too long because I don't think Rafael and I can stand each other in a sweet romantic place especially we don't have any feeling for each other.
But if ever the clothes I bought are still not enough, I guess I can just buy some clothes wherever we are going. When I was done, I hung my luggage bag on my shoulder and walked down where Rafael is waiting at the living room.
"Oh no, you don't have to bring some luggage. Our clothes is upto them" he told me, putting his phone in his pocket.
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier when you woke me up?!" I spat at him, dropping much luggage bag on the floor
He just shrugged and grab my hand all of the sudden causing me to jump "H-hey~"
"I will explain everything inside the jet, Okay?" He whispered to me then a playful smiled appeared in his face. He looks quite happy, I'm surprised. "Let's go?"
I nod my head as we left his penthouse floor. We passed through his main office before we could leave his penthouse place and he locked it very strictly with a passcode.
"Why are you still locking it? Dont the security have the key to your penthouse?" I asked him
"Only I have the key to my office, Belle. I have so many money hidden there. And no one comes in my office without my permission except for you and the boys" he told me seriously before walking to the elevator.
"Always the secretive type" I muttered jokingly. Rafael grab my hand as we walk towards the elevator.

Mike, the elevator guy greeted us with a smile which I returned but Rafael just walked in and told him to bring us down in a...not so kind tone, if you know what I mean. Then when the elevator doors closed, an awkward silence enveloped us.
But I don't care, Rafael is holding my hand and I just feel happy. We still need to keep the act when people are around us especially here at the hotel. Then the door opens, an bald man, not too old, was waiting for us
"Your car is waiting for you outside of the hotel, Mr. Knight" he bowed his head politely as he talks but Rafael just walks passed him with him walking behind. When we exited the hotel, there is a very good expensive looking maroon car waiting for us.
"Wow" I mouthed. "Is that your car?" I asked him
"Yes" he only answered then smiled "And also yours too"
Okay? Where did that came from???
"Thank you, Will. You can go back to work" He told the bald man as Rafael escorts me inside his car.
Shit, this car is so freaking amazing inside and out! My eyes were travelling the whole interior of it while Rafael talks to Will outside before going in the driver's seat. "Is something wrong?" he asked me, noticing my eyes roamed around the car.
"Nothing. It's just...This is...how many cars do you own?" I asked him as he started the engine.
"I lost count" he answered and started driving.
Damn, he has that much? That much that he lost count? My husband really is a billionaire.
"So where is this honeymoon?" I questioned him.
"It's a surprise" he smirked without glancing at me and focusing his eyes on the road.
Jeez...
I looked out of the window and admired the amazing nightlife. So many colorful lights from the builsinfs around makes the place so alive and exciting. People would look at our car as we passed through the high way and I won't be surprised though. This is one very rare car that you won't usually see around. I would be died if ever I could buy one of these.
Now we are passing through a familiar road. We are using the highway where the club I was working at is. When we passed through, I turned my head as I also saw some familiar faces outside.
"Your workplace is a little crowded, don't you think?" Rafael spoke, getting my attention back.
My eyebrows frowned a little "You know about the club?" I asked.
"Why Yes, my wife" he replied. "I told you before. I know everything"
I scoffed at his statement "Of course you are" I said sarcastically. "You are not a God, Rafael. You don't know everything" I spat at him, crossing my arms and lean back on the car seat.
But Rafael just laughed at me and smiled at me. "I thought you will be happy if you saw your workplace. But unfortunately, your temper gotten worse"
I didn't respond to him. I think we were opposites right now. Before, it was me all the talking and Rafael is the annoyed on. But this time, it's me who is annoyed. Well, who wouldn't be? This man is totally annoying and hot at the same time.
Wait, I don't think hot is right for this sentence.
"What is wrong with you this past days? You were quiet. What is that mood swings?" he continued to annoy me. "What are you pregnant?"
What the Fuck?!

"Are you crazy right now? You are bring absurd! " I snapped, "How would I possible be pregnant and we didn't even did it yet" I said as my voice getting weaker and try not to blush at what I meant.
"Baby, I am not an idiot. You might be pregnant with one of your customers"
My eyes widen hearing him say that! "Fuck you!" I shouted at him. He is stepping on the line now. I thought he know everything? Then Why would he accused things like that to me?! "I have never slept with anyone at my job! I am not a fucking prostitute, Rafael. I just entertain then by talking, chatting and sharing some stories!" I snapped "I can't believe you think lowly of that to me!!!"
"Hey, don't get so angry about it" his voice tuns serious at my burst. It's not my fault I bursted like this!
"Don't get so angry?! You think I am a slit while I am clearly a virgin!"
Uh-oh, did I just confess? Shit, this is not good. "I-I~"
"You're a virgin?" he looked surprised at what I said. "You really are?"
I took a deep breath and looked away from him, not replying again this time. This is so embarrassing. He is going to make fun of me.
"What do you expected though?" I muttered. "I don't strip or sleep with people I don't know even know. I have a dignity to myself and being physically or emotionally committed to someone is not my thing"
This time, Rafael became quiet. Like the real him. I think silence is better for the two us, honesty.
"Sorry" he just blurt, making me stunned.
I slowly turn my face to him and saw his eyes gotten a little softer from his cold ones.
I don't know but the simple Sorry he gave me quickly touched my heart and softened it. What is his affect on me? As much as I want to get angry at him, I can't anymore.
Shit, this is so weird.
But instead, I looked back to the window to focus and put my attention away and said "Just don't think that lowly of me. You don't know the real me"
A few minutes of drive, we arrived at this huge airport and I thought we are gonna stop at the front but he continued driving and entered a gate, still a part of the airport where there is this big maroon colored private jet that has the same color of this card.
Some staffs of were waiting outside for us arrival. Okay, where are we going? Don't tell me it's gonna be out of the country? Like my dream.
"Stay here" Rafael told me and went out of the car to have a talk with the men. They were shaking hands and greeted my husband with polite and kindness. I can see how the sexy fight attendants looks at him with so much joy. Well back off, he is my husband, losers.
When Rafael finished talking to those men, he signalled me to come out. Did I mention that my husband looks so handsome right now? As the wind blowing through his amazing brown hair and the bottom hem of his shirt was showing some of his abs.
Wow...
Rafael grab my hand as he handed he key of his car to one of the men "You know what to do" he told the boy and he quickly nod his head and went inside his car.
Hey what is he doing with Rafael's car?! Driving it away?!
But Rafael put his hand on my waist as he head inside his jet and my mouth just dropped seeing how wonderful inside is. It has a living room inside! This is crazy!
"So you like it?" he asked, just popping behind me.
"Like it? I am so in love with it! My God, Rafael, I can't believe you own such thing" I spoke quickly, excitedly. "I feel like a princess experiencing this"
"Well, babe...you are gonna live better than a princess if you are with me" he told me, seriously as he sat down on the huge couch as I try to sink the words in my mind.
Did Rafael gotten kinder this time? Just because we are having a honeymoon, that doesn't mean he can get all smoochy with me. It's like this is not him anymore.
My husband was possessed by a romantic man!!!
It was just kinda awkward because there is one flight attendant and two men guarding us in this jet. I thought we will have some privacy here so I can be more myself.
"Come here, Belle" Rafael called and sat me down the couch next to him. I did what I was told and took the seat besides him as he held my hand in his, making me more alert.
Okay, something is differently wrong with him!!!
This man has already lost his mind! This is not Rafael! Tell me if he had a twin brother that is nicer. This is not him and I am positive with that.
"Will you guys please leave me and my wife for a minute?" he asked then they obeyed immediately.
Once the door is closed, Rafael's expression suddenly went back to his real cold and serious face. Huh? Look who was talking about mood swings?
"Rafael what the heck is going on with you?" I snapped to reality and tried to tell him honesty
"Keep your voice down, you idiot! They might hear you" he snapped back at me, running his hands through his hair.
"What? When at the heck is wrong, Rafael?" I asked as I sense that something is bugging and wrong with him.
Rafael sigh and turn to face me but he stood up this time "From the very start, I was surprised that Father gave us this honeymoon. I know he is planning something"
"Planning?"
"Yes, introducing you as my wife seems not to have convinced him. So he will send us to this honeymoon with watching us"
"Staffs?" I asked, confusedly. "You mean like he doesn't believe us?"
"Yes, he thought I was stupid not to noticed it. He had hired staffs to watch" he made it clear "Starting from men here in my private jet. I know Father brought them here to check and watch me if we are really in love with each other"
What the heck?! Christoffer really thinks like that? He doesn't trust Rafael, that made it clear. He is spying on his son to see if we really got married just for his company. That is so evil!
"So this honeymoon is fake?" I questioned.
"I believe it is" he answered "Well, all we have to do is act so lovely dovey with other if we are in public then"
"Yeah, you're right"
Oh...
What is this feeling of disappointment? Am I sad because this is not a real? This is just a part of the plan to make his Father believe us. Not the honeymoon that I am expecting for though.
"Your Father is an evil genius, isn't he?" I just made it come out like a joke and faked a laugh.
"You can no idea" he also chuckled huskily and sat back down on the couch "The bedroom is that way if you want to rest and sleep. We still have a long journey"
There is a bedroom in this jet?
"Sounds tempting but I am awake. I don't think I can go back to sleep" I said, grabbing a magazine on the side desk to entertain myself with.
"Okay" he just said then stood up and went to the dark brown mahogany office desk and pull put his laptop from his case. Still working until now? It's 5 in the morning! As long as there is time rest, he will take the opportunity to work.
This man needs to rest...
And it's gonna happen here in our fake honeymoon.
••••••••••
"Belle..."
I heard Rafael's voice calling me as I opened my eyes and I saw him hovering above me. Causing me to sit up quickly in surprise.
Oh, so I fell asleep while reading the magazine. I guess I was not as awake as I thought. I looked around me and noticed from the windows that we stopped...
It looks like we are on an island or something.
"We have landed, get up and fixed yourself. You have some drool over here" he pointed and laughed.
Shit, did I slept with my mouth open? That was so embarrassing if I did. I quickly turn shades of red imagining myself in humiliation. Damn it.
"Where are we?" I asked, getting up to fix the clothes that I am wearing.
Rafael didn't replied, he just grab his briefcase and offered me his hand. "We need to act as a couple once we stepped out of this jet"
"Oh..." I grab his hand and I felt the familiar jolts everytime our palms touched.
Through staffs came and carried the luggages from the back. I didn't know we have luggage there. I should have checked out the clothes we should wear.
Once we stepped out of the jet, a very refreshing and wonderful view of the whole island had greeted us. Wow, coconut trees, awesome smells, tourists, the clear ocean and the very beautiful white sand.
I had never seen a white sand before. This is amazing. I can't help but gasp at everything I see in this beach. It is absolutely breathtaking.
"Wow"
"Welcome to Boracay, Philippines, my wife" Rafael whispered at my ear.
