Chapter 100 Pressured Promise

• The tension between the two men seem to have escalated and my mother and I didn't want to be a part of that conversation. As a result, we kept our mouth closed as we waited for the storm to pass. I had a very heavy feeling in my heart as I waited to hear what Raphael had to say. I also had no idea why Raphael seem to be putting off his wedding, but whenever I heard or saw him act like he didn't want to marry Rosabella, I couldn't help but feel slightly hopeful. At first I didn't want to acknowledge my feelings, but the longer I tried to hold it in, the more I was forced to realize that I was hoping against hope that Raphael would change his mind about marrying Rosabella.
• "I'll marry her sooner or later as planned. There's nothing for you to worry about," Raphael said flatly.
• "You better keep your promise. I won't stand for any changes in the plan now that you two are officially engaged," Bennett said forcefully, enunciating each word.
