Tonight, Marissa couldn’t go to sleep. Holding her hand, Rafael was sleeping peacefully beside her without wearing a shirt.
Could anyone believe that she had been sleeping with a shirtless, hot man without doing anything? Without any kind of intimacy?
With a smile, she raised her hand and touched his lashes with her fingers.
"Men shouldn’t be allowed to have this long lashes, Rafael Sinclair. It’s a sin!" She chuckled at her self-invented theory.
For the last five years, she used to stare at Alexander’s face who used to sleep just like his father. One hand under his cheek and the other on the bed.
Rafael used to sleep in this position when he was blind. Sometimes when she used to touch him thinking that he must be sleeping, he used to take her by surprise and grab her hand to kiss it.
Damn you, Nina. Damn you, Valerie. You two played well.
She laughed silently with a sarcastic edge.
"Not much sleepy?" she froze when heard his voice. His eyes were still closed.
She slapped his arm, "You were pretending all this time?"
"Umm hmm," he pulled her to him, "I was in deep sleep when someone told me I’m not allowed to have long lashes."
Oh, brother.
She slapped his arm again, "Yeah. Keep dreaming. Go back to sleep."
She almost hid her face in his chest. He didn’t bother to open his eyes and went back to sleep. His scent was calming for her senses, and it sent her drifting off to sleep like the dead.
If you are with me, Rafael then I can fight the world. She didn’t know why this random thought crossed her mind.
But she was sure she could face Valerie, Nina, Kate, and Delinda if Rafael were there to back her up. This time, he needed to trust her.
He had asked her to test him. And she was planning to do that from tomorrow.

The next morning, they had breakfast together as a happy family. Marissa wore another robe after taking the shower.
Abigail examined her mom and then giggled, "Mom this robe is too big for you!"
"Yeah. Because it belongs to daddy," Alex told Abi after scooping cereal from his bowl, but his remark made his parents go still.
Today, Alex calling Rafael, daddy was almost effortless. Not like he used to do before as If someone had put a gun against his head.
Today it sounded more natural and after saying it he got busy teasing his sisters about something.
Marissa raised her eyes and found Refael already watching her. He smiled and mouthed the silent words, "Thank God!"
She also nodded and showed him a thumbs-up sign.
Thankfully he was an involved father, and she was happy that the kids had accepted him in such a little time.
It was time that she took Rafael’s offer quite seriously about a house. As a father his concern was genuine. The kids needed a bigger space now. They were growing up and soon their school would start.
She was planning to talk to Rafael this evening about the move.

I was into the story but then the translator who was translating it for whatever language to English stopped translating half the words are half English and another language it's very hard to follow a book when you can't understand what the written word is translators need to do better...
