Chapter 22 She Hates Me

• POV: Victoria
• The gravel crunched under the tires of Raphael's car as we pulled up the winding driveway to his grandfather's stately home. I could feel her heart pounding in my chest as I glanced over at Raphael, the man I was supposed to pretend to be in love with for the weekend.
• He was so rigid and stern as he sat next to me, oblivious of my feelings. He has something in his mind but I dare not ask so I don’t provoke his anger any further. He has done more than enough for me and my family, I should be grateful instead of nagging about his attitude towards me.
