The Dark Secret of the CEO

Chapter 79

Chapter 7 9

Rafael lowers the glass of the window enough so that the guard of the booth recognizes him and allows him entry, he looks at Luz who is sleeping in the seat next to him, it has been a restless dream, but at least she is sleeping.

Arriving at the entrance of the colonial-style house, one of his mother’s maids and the butler approach the car, he gets out as soon as he stops the car to close the distance between them.

-Scott, good night – extends his hand to the man who keeps the same face as always, as if he had a stick in the … -. Sorry to arrive at this hour and without warning, but it was an emergency. I need two rooms.

-I can prepare one for you at the moment – he says in the same haughty tone – This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

-As always, following the heir’s orders – Rafael tells him with annoyance -. But with one for now it works for me.

-Do you need help with the luggage ? -I’m not bringing luggage, I just need you to hurry up with that room, I’m bringing company and she’s asleep.

-In that case, perhaps it would be advisable to notify your mother.

-If you’ll just take care of her bad temper for waking her up at… -he looks at his watch-, one in the morning, I don’t care.

The man frowns and sends the girl with a nod of his head to prepare the room. Rafael returns to the car to wait, while he sends several messages to his second, asking her to take care of everything that his company has scheduled, for an indefinite period of time.

Half an hour later the girl comes out of the bathroom and makes a gesture with her hand that she’s ready, but she doesn’t just stand there, she walks over to see if she needs help.

Rafael, very carefully, takes Luz in his arms, while the girl helps him hold the door and then adjusts the blanket to cover her from the coolness of the night.

-Thank you – he says –

-There is no reason to. Come on, I fixed her room for him.

He follows her up to the second floor in silence, while Luz is unfazed by what is happening. Although she remembers the way very well, she is grateful that at least someone receives her with some cordiality.

She enters the room, the girl comes forward to open the covers and then removes the blanket that covers Luz, the girl stares at that little woman, she looks so fragile and the need to take care of her awakens in her, she looks like a girl Lost in this strange world

-If you need anything, don’t hesitate to let me know. My name is Chloe.

-Thank you, Chloe. The lady is going to need clothes for tomorrow, she doesn’t wear extravagant clothes, you know, the normal of a normal teenager – the girl nods and walks towards the door, but she stops her-. She’s pregnant, so no tight clothes.

– Of course, sir, rest.

The girl closes the door and Rafael stares at his old room.

It doesn’t look anything like it did a while ago. Gone are his posters of Eminem, Missy Elliott and Red Hot Chilli Peppers.

– Of course they wouldn’t be, if she never approved of my musical tastes.

She takes care of making Luz comfortable, then goes to the huge closet that is there and finds some blankets and pillows. He arranges them on the floor on the soft gray rug and stares at the ceiling.

That night he had moved on for the first time with a girl in a long time, but now he wasn’t sure Evangeline would forgive him for leaving without even saying goodbye.

He picks up his phone and sends her a message.

“Sorry. I promise to make it up to you when we meet again.”

He leaves it on his chest, a sigh escapes him and decides to do something more risky. “I love you and I will not stop thinking about you.” Because that’s the truth, she wants it. That girl, without even getting to know her as she had to do with Luz, already moves her floor more than she would like to admit.

He tries to breathe a little, settles down to sleep and lets out a sigh. She can hear Luz’s slow breathing, at least she is calm now. Tomorrow she’ll take her for a walk or whatever she wants, she needs to know what’s going on. She only knows that this mask is the one that Luz described to her that time . But why was it in Gerard’s hands?

He closes his eyes, but a whisper of sleeping Light makes him shed a couple of small tears.

-Gerard… don’t hurt me… I love you.
