The tension between me and Rafael is different. Those deep brown eyes sparkles and how they are only focused on me like he was reading and memorizing every features I had. The way the moonlights shines above us, so right at the moment that we are feeling.

My confession seems to confused him since I told him that my parents are alive and how I lied to him. I know this is the right time to tell him because...I can feel it...

There is already a connection between us that I just can't explain but feel.

"Rafael, I was abused by my Mom since my Dad died when I was younger" I started telling him "I'm not lucky like what you said. You're lucky because you still have your brothers and sisters that loves you and cares for you no matter what happens...unlike me" my voice soften as I reached the end of my sentence because of the tears I am battling not to show.

"I grew up in a very poor neighborhood and when I say poor...as in really poor . My Mom and Dad are so addicted to drugs, alcohol, smokes and so many more and I just can't handle it. Then my Dad died in a car accident then my Mom got so depressed...she started taking all those madness on me. She won't miss a day without pulling my hair, kicking me, punching me and screaming at me, telling me how miserable I am to their life" this time, I can't control it anymore...My emotions burst out and all my tears escaped my eyes.

I felt Rafael, shifted closer to me and raised his fingers to wipe them away but his face was serious and wanted to hear more.

"My mom would come home with different men every night and she even let them molest me in front of her. They try to touch me, kiss me but I fought them. One night, I kicked his man on his stomach, Mom nearly killed me. She stabbed me here" I slowly stood up and raised my top to show him the stab marks near my hipbone.

"She let those fucking men touch you? Why would she do that?" Rafael asked, I thought he won't be speaking until I finished my story.

"Y-yeah, because I think those men are paying her for that. That's why I believed that money is the most important thing for everyone...like you and for me" I let out a weak laugh "That's why I agree to this deal because I needed the money"

Rafael's eyes soften for a little when I said that, he let out a sigh before opening his closed mouth "Yes and I am so grateful to you for helping me in this thing. I know pretending as my fake wife is hard especially me as your husband and the way of my lifestyle is way different from what you are used to" his hand slowly snaked to mine and pulled me to him, crashing me to his hard chest catching me by surprise and he whispered to my ear "I'm sorry for making you do this. I promise that I will help you even after our deal"

My eyebrows touched "Help me? How?"

Rafael smirked and chuckled "I'm Rafael Knight...I can make things my way." he joked, as I playfully punched his hard chest, earning a husky laugh from him. "You till became my wife, Belle. That is something that I will hold forever."

I sigh and thought about it. How will be my life after all of these? With the money that I will get from him and what will be our lifestyle? At the short amount of time that we had, Rafael changes everything. I experienced the happy world, being rich, introduced me to so many different things...and the love that I wanted from a family.

I know it's stupid for me to love but...he is giving me the feeling of having a family.

"Stop crying already. I don't know what I am going to do if you're doing that" he wiped my tears again, using his thumb.

I did and smiled happily. God, It feels so good to let it out with someone. Rafael is the only one who can see all the sides of me. I had never ever shown Catalina that I cried. When she saw me at the streets homeless and running through the rain, I didn't cried. She asked me if I needed help and I just told her...job and home. She quickly helped me and gave me the job since then...I thought I was strong.

"Don't you have any more families?" Rafael asked, rubbing my shoulders

Families? Wait...I do remember something. But I can't remember her name "M-my Dad once told me that I have a sister...an older one but that's the only thing I know. My Dad was drunk at that time"

Rafael thinks for a second "You don't have any more information about her?"

I shook my head "Nope, except that she was lost when she was 10 then I was born"

"You didn't know her name?"

"Nope...not a single clue" I said, shaking my head. "My family is very complicated. I wonder how my Mom is doing now"

"How did you ran away?"

"My Mom and her boyfriend are doing something in her room then I took my chance, escaping from my window without any clothes or money with me" I answered, some humor in my voice because I felt much lighter sharing it. "I know...heroic, isn't?" I joked.

"Wow, my wife's story is abnormal" he muttered, with a little laugh at the end making me do the same. "So, let's stop talking about our sad lonely family story. Past is past and this is our present and future that we should look forward to. Right now, we are having our romantic honeymoon. So, what do you think, wife?" he smirked, intertwining our hands together, making my heart beats faster again and again.

My eyes and his eyes locked as electric shocks hits my body and without even thinking I answered "Of course, hubby" but still we both smiled at each other and cuddled under the huge moon and stars smiling above us.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning, I woke up amazingly. The smell of delicious breakfast hits my nostrils. Slowly, I sat up and notice that Rafael is doing something in the kitchen. I was surprised seeing this hot man, cooking something. Note! Someone who always had breakfast ready for him.

I kinda felt guilty because Rafael slept on the couch last night. I told him I will do the honor sleeping there but he insist that he should be the one.

I got out from the bed and walk towards the kitchen while yawning "Good morning" I greeted him.

"Hey" he greeted back and continue cooking something.

"What are you cooking?" I questioned, looking over.

"Just some pancakes...that's the only thing I can do" he answered, huskily at his sexy morning voice.

I laughed at what he said "Let me help you" I suggested, trying to push him a little from the way.

"No! I am cooking this on my own. You're the one who is always making our breakfast so let me enjoy my first time cooking" he said, standing still and flipping those pancakes.

Gosh, the view is so hilarious. Seeing a hot man...correction: A hot, billionaire man cooking breakfast and he looks like he doesn't know what he was doing but. So I can't help it but laugh at him.

"Hey! What's funny?" he questioned, his face so red in embarrassment. "Quit laughing!"

"Okay, okay...I will" I lied, turning my back from him and went to the balcony, feeling the warm breeze and the salty smell of the ocean.

Finally, some sunlight hitting my skin. Its always cold back home so its nice to feel some heat once in a while. My blonde hair flying through the wind but my eyes caught something from a distance...someone hiding behind the trees.

Paparazzi...

Grr, way to ruin the moment.

He is taking pictures of me. "Rafael!" I called. Good thing I am wearing his shirt. "Rafael, come here for a second please"

Rafael came in, luckily, he has no top on, just his black boxer shorts. "Something wrong?"

"We have company" I whispered at him, wrapping both of my arms at his lower back and leaning my face closer to his.

"Oh...those morons really dont want to leave us alone" he muttered through clenched teeth. Rafael also put a hand on my waist to make the situation cute and sweet. "Excuse me, do you need something?" he snapped at the paparazzi.

I admit that I got surprise at his act. He suddenly shouts at the paparazzi shooting us from a distsnce.

"My wife and I deserve to have a private time so fuck off, will you?" he spoke with anger and frustration. In a quick move, the paparazzi went running away in speed.

"Wow" I murmured "You scared him off"

"Then thats a news to my Dad. He can say that I am protective of my wife" he replied with a playful smirk "Well, it's his fault in the first place. He should not mess up with me first thing in the morning"

I just rolled my eyes and walk back inside the villa where there are pancakes served on the wooden dining table. Random fruits are in the basket, milks are also served and some green leafy vegetables. Gosh, I am drooling.

"Dig in" Rafael took his seat and started eating ahead of me.

I grab a seat as well and took a bite of the waffle "Hm...its delicious! Great job, hubby"

Rafael narrowed his eyes at me all of a sudden "Call me hubby once more and you will regret it"

"Why~"

"~Just don't" he cut, ending the topic of that word. I wonder whats wrong with me calling him that. I called him by that before and he got annoyed as well too.

"Oh...um...sorry" I replied in defeat.

We eat in silence after that...like we always do. I dont know if is me or him. I am not used at eating alone so I dont usually talk or it is Rafael who doesnt like talking. Both.

"So, what are your plans for today?" he broke the silence.

"Plans? I only want to swim at the beach this whole dsy" I answered as excitement filling me.

"Swim?" his eyebrows touched "Then it leaves me no choice but to come with you"

Oh my...

Rafael going to swim with me...that means. He will be topless...water droplets all over his body. Oh shit. That will be soo freaking hot!

"Is something wrong?" Rafael asked confusly "Your face is red...are you feeling okay?"

"Y-yeah! Yeah, I'm fine" I stood up from my seat quicly and head to the bathroom inside the bedroom.

When my bathroom door slams, I lean my back on it and fanned myself. Am I fantasizing my husband because he will be swimming with me? Shit, why I even blushing?!

Keep yourself together, Belle. She is your husband! Get used to it!

Oh man, I hope I wont die from extreme hotness here. Lord, please help me!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Before I could get out of the villa, I already put some lotion and cover myself with a white one shoulder cover up and grab some black shades.

Okay, this will do it.

I am wearing a red bikini that I saw in the bag because this is the least revealing one than the other three because the they are tube bikini top and the other one is almost strings. So this is better.

When I got out from the room, Rafael was already waiting outside wearing some dark blue shorts and his upper body is naked. As expected though.

"Dont you think I'll melt if you continue eye-raping me?" his voice broke my glance.

I tore my eyes quickly "L-let's go" I spat , walking out in speed, grabbing my small bag where I will put my shades, cover, and my slippers. I was nearly jumping around as soon as my feet touch the white sand and feel the roughness of it.

Gosh I look like a kid buying a new toy in a shop.

"Hey, our tent is that way" Rafael yanked me by my arm. We are passing through some people with different nationlaities because of their skin colors and features.

Some of them are too white so I think those are the Koreans or Japanese and also because of the thin lines of their eyes, some have nornal tan or brown skin so I those are the Filipinos. Most I see are Americans from every city. Boracay must be really a very famous place.

We made it to our tent that is lined with the others. The tent next to ours greeted us with a very warm smile. They are a family. A married couple with three young kids.

"Are you two here on a vacation?" the mother asked.

Rafael shook his head but with a smile "No, Mrs. It's our honeymoon" he answered, kindly.

"Oh, honeymoon. That is so sweet" she respond still wearing that smile. "Is this your first time in the Philippines?"

"Yes, but my husband once been here" I answered this time. She didnt ask us again so we just set up the blanket on the sand and Rafael brought our some beers.

"You picked the right place" I told him, we are facing the wide blue ocean at our tent.

He sat down on the blanket, drinking his beer "I know you like the ocean so I choose this place"

"Wow, thanks, Rafael" I said, sitting next to him and remove my black sunglasses. "I cant wait to tell this to Catalina. She will be so jealous of me"

"Then we will invite her next time"

Huh?

"You mean we are coming back?" I questioned.

"Sure if that's what you want" he replied, shrugging his shoulders then he put on his black sunglasses and laid down on the blanket, his one arm behind his head.

He can take Catalina here if we are gonna stay husband and wife longer. And our time is only limited.

"Arent you going to swim?" I asked.

Rafael shook his head "I am too sleepy"

"Okay then. I will go on ahead" I told him and stood up, removing my cover up shirt, revealing my bloody red bikini and I ran to the splashing waves and let the cold water hit me.

This is so amazing!!!

I was swimming down the water and enjoyed the moment myself because my husband is too sleepy to enjoy it with me.

When I raised my head above the water, I caught Rafael watching me. He is outside the tent and near me.

"I thought you are sleepy" I walk towards him, dripping wet.

"Yeah I was but you got me all excited once you remove that huge shirt and revealed me your smoking hot red bikini. Are you expecting me to let you swim like that alone?" he told me, every word that came out from his mouth sends me shivers. "You look young thats why men will think that you are unmarried."

"Okay...someone is possessive" I smirked teasingly and laughed.

"I will be possessive for now" he told me, wrapping arm around me. "You know...I am so close in tearing those men's eyes and head for staring at you like a piece of meat" he whispered and he motioned his head on the group of men that are staring at us.

I chuckled and push him away "Come on, lets swim!" I grab his hand and dragged him into the water.

"Come on!" I pulled him but he remain still. "Hey, whats wrong?"

"I will just watch you" he told me.

I looked at him confused "What? Why? This is the reason why we got here, right?"

"Yes, and because Stupid Father brough us here" he replied.

"Dont tell me you're afraid of the ocean?" I teased him and laughed.

But Rafael silenced, making me shock when I realized something. "Your afraid of water?!"

"Of course not! I am just afraid of the ocean " he blushed in embarrassment. "I am afraid of drowning because I drown once when I was a kid and I nearly died"

"Why?"

"Roberto pushed me off the yatch." he answered making my jaw dropped slightly. "He hates me so bad when we were kids"

I was speechless. I dont know what to say. "Rafael..." I just offered my hand to him. "I will hold your hand. Do not be afraid. The ocean is wonderful"

Rafael stared at me and sigh "How can I say no to you?" he muttered and grab my hand and slowly, I lead him deeper. He dont look scared though. When we reached the water to our waist, I stopped and let go of his hand.

"You look so cute" I teased and laughed.

"Shut up!" he frowned his eyebrows and rolled his eyes at me. "You are the first one who calls me cute"

"Yeah?" I continued to tease and this time I splashed his face with salty water.

"Hey!!!" he hissed and fought back. "Dont just splash water to my face"

"Oh-kay" I smiled innocently then I splashed again and laughed hard.

"Belle, stop!" he narrowed his eyes at me but I continue to splash him some water and laughing. "Belle, I'm serious! Stop that"

"Make me!" I shout at him then made my splashes harder and my laugh louder.

"I mean it, Belle. Dont test me"

"Oohh, I am so scared" I joked

"Belle~"

Then I ran away from him as fast as I can while in the water. I am planning on leaving alone but he was so fast and he grab me by my waist "Gotcha!"

I just squealed as he lift me around with him behind me, with his arms locked. "Rafael!"

"You should not be messing with me" he said to me as I try to break free from his hard grip.

"I am not messing with you!" I lied, still laughing. "Rafael put me down!"

"Okay then" he said and threw me away but not roughly as my body hit the water.

I swim under and tried to scare Rafael by pretending that I am drowning. Haha, pay back time for throwing me. I can hear Rafael calling for me until to the point that he swam under the water to rescue me.

Mission complete!

"Hey, hey are you alright?" he asked, his voice shaking. His eyes focused on me as he try to shake me. "Belle, I am so sorry for throwing you like that~"

"~Rafael, I'm fine" I assured him with a grin on my face then I laughed again "I'm okay...I just want you to swim and forget the fear you had in ocean. See, you swam!" I cheered, clapping my hand.

But Rafael suddenly pulled me to him, his breath ragged "You idiot, I nearly had a heart attack! I thought you are gonna drown and die in front of me"

My eyes shot open and I felt his bare chest go up and down to catch his breath. "I'm sorry"

Rafael sigh and break the hug "Dont ever do that to me again"

I nod my head "Yeah, I promise"

He sigh once again and just smiled then patted my head "I will go back to the tent now. Call me if you need anything" he told me and left me there as I watch how he sexily walk back to the tent. Gosh, his muscles are so mLanly and they look so good to him.

But I still want to swim so I continue what I wanted to do.

God, I must have really scared him for him to worry like that. This is one breaking news. The cold hearted billionaire has a fear of ocean and drowning.

How wonderful...
