Chapter 6

• “Welcome babygirl”
• This voice seemed familiar; no, this is not possible. This is the voice of the stranger. When the man turns towards me, my eyes widen and my notepad falls from my grasp in surprise.
• He smiles at me, and his entire demeanor has transformed. He was not the same person that night; his fitting suit, powerful frame, and long hair drew people in.
• My words became lodged in my throat, and I simply stared at him.
• He slowly came towards me, and I froze in my place, remembering everything I'd told him that night.
• I was so dumb; I was cursing him in front of him, and I don't know why I feel like something horrible is about to happen.
• By the time I got back my senses, he was standing in front of me, looking at me and smirking.
• “Did the cat get your tongue, baby girl? You were talking a lot that night, so what happened now? Look your Rafael Fucking King standing in front of you. Now, you can say whatever you want.”
• I gulped
• “I kept my promise; look, I got your interview fixed, so are you going to stand like this now? Look, baby girl, I have canceled all my appointments because of you, so it would be better if you didn't waste your time and did what you came to do. Yes, because I can't hold myself back much longer.”
• After listening to him, I looked at him, and he smirk.
• He sat behind his table and gestured for me to sit.
• I quickly picked up the notepad and sat in front of him. I was nervous; I didn't know where to start talking to this guy.
• “We can start now. Ms Eva”
• He said in a husky voice and I became more nervous, I took the recorder and placed it on the table and opened my list of questions.
• I have to come out of the battle of my thoughts; I have to show my professionalism; I cannot allow myself to become more nervous in the presence of this man.
• I mentally prepared myself and looked at him confidently. I took a deep breath, and my first question
• “You are a well-known businessman not just in the city but throughout the country, and you are a self-made businessman. To whom do you would like to give credit for your success?”
• “Of course me, it is because of my hard work that I am in this position today, Ms Eva.”
• He licks his lower lips, and I can't help but gaze at them;
• This guy is trying to make me uneasy; focus on your work, Eva ; you've only come here for the interview.
• “Okay, next question. I smiled.”
• “Everyone believes you're still single. How much truth is contained in this? Because it is unusual for a successful man like you to remain single, many girls would go crazy about you.”
• “I'm looking for someone special who will fit into my personal status and also love me not my money. I don't believe in dating, and my search has ended. By the way I am not single I have a family” he laughed which made her laugh as she thought it’s a joke.
• “So you've got someone in your life.”
• “Right in front of me.”
• “What ?”
• “I means that we are not yet together, but will be soon. This is one-sided love.”
• “Oh”
• “Okay, next question.”
• “Sure”
• “People recognize your name; you are well-known, but they are unfamiliar with your face. What is your specific purpose for hiding yourself from the public?”
• Rafael laughs.
• “I only want those whom i want to see me.”
• “You are quite mysterious.”
• “I am a closed door that should not be opened, Ms Eva .”
• His remarks were like a warning, delivered in a very serious tone.
• "Well, opening closed doors is the job of a reporter," I said, smiling. "Next question, please." He said it with a slight smirk on his face.
• “It has been reported that you are in touch with the mafia world.”
• I clutched his hand tightly; this was a serious question, and I lacked strong evidence; had I made a mistake in asking it?
• “This is not my question; it is the public's question. I have no personal grudge against you, Mr. King.”
• Rafael gets up from his seat and faces the window, and I wait for his response.
• “Mr. King, Is this a difficult question to answer?” I smirk.
• “This question itself is baseless; hence, I do not consider it necessary to answer it. Next question, Ms. Eva.”
• “The questions were over”. I said and I turned off the recorder, placed the notepad on the table, and went towards Rafael.
• “I know this question is not baseless; the only difference is that there is no evidence for it. Is this the reason for hiding from the world?”
• Rafael stares at me, takes my waist, turns me around, and pins me to the glass pane. I was under his power; his body was on top of me, and he held both my hands, with one hand on my head. We were really close, and I could feel his breath on my face.
• “It's better to stay away from some things, baby girl, and I don't want you to get into any trouble.”
• “Leave me. What are you doing?”
• “I told you that my search is over, and do you want to know who the girl is who stole Rafael Fucking King's heart?”
• “My eyes widened after listening to him.”
• “Who?”
• “You babygirl”
• With this, I saw the injection in his hand, and the next moment the needle had pierced my neck, and before I could control myself, I realized that I was hanging on his shoulder. What had this man done to me? And my eyes became heavy, and I fainted.
