Her plan was to stay hidden, but having a relationship with Raphael meant being in the spotlight. Will she be able to overcome her feelings for him to maintain her secrecy? Or will she break away from her own mental chains and fall headfirst? It's been years since Raphael had felt this way about a woman. Unable to help himself, he pursues Miss Somerfield blindly unaware of the past she held. Will her past be too much for him to handle? Or will his own past ruin things before they started?

Chapter 1 Prologue

TW: What you are about to read has graphic details of Sexual Assault and Rape.

"No..." Ondina pleaded. Louder this time, but he ignored her. Wrapping his hand round her neck; he continued to take what wasn't his. Thrusting into her faster and harder, tears streamed down her face.

"Please." Her voice was faint, barely over a whisper.

Becoming annoyed with her sobbing and pleading, he took his other hand, and covered her mouth. Sobering up, she used all the strength she had and pushed into his chest but it wasn't enough.

All of her attempts were dismissed. Realizing she wasn't going to get out of this, she allowed herself to float away. She watched herself from above, and let her thoughts take over. How could I be so irresponsible? Why did I come here with him? What will my parents say? What will everyone think of me? I was so desperate for attention, his attention, and once I finally got it, this happened.

She drowned herself in self pity and regret. This wasn't supposed to happen. It shouldn't be like this! Coming out of her thoughts, she hovered over her body and watched him finish. She watched him neatly fasten his clothes, leaving no trace of what had just occurred. She watched him run his hands through his hair, putting loose strands back at attention.

She watched him as he adjusted his face back to its perfect innocence. Shedding any memory of the treasure he had just stole.

"We should get going." A voice echoed.

Like an elastic band, Ondina snapped back into her body.

"You have a curfew, and we don't want to worry your folks." The voice echoed again.

There was a dull ache of pain that lingered heavily over her entire body. He stood up extending his hand, and she accepted it. Silently, she allowed him to pull her to his Cherokee jeep, and forced herself to ignore that dull ache that was growing levels.

He opened the door for her to climb in, and again she accepted. The car ride home was silent, and Ondina was thankful for it. However, the ride felt excruciatingly long; much longer that it felt on the way out. Once they arrived at her home, He had gotten out and opened her door again.

Portraying himself to be this perfect gentleman. Extending his hand to her and again, she accepted it. He walked her to the front door and she remained in silence; accepting it all. She was trapped inside of herself. Unable to react properly. Unable to do anything but accept what he was giving.

"I really enjoyed myself tonight." He placed a kiss on her lips, and she remained in the same state of acceptance.

"goodnight, Ondina." The voice echoed one last time as he smiled what used to be a comforting, confident smile and with that, he was gone.

His absence left an unsettling feeling in Ondina's stomach. She knew her life would never be the same....

"Carroll Brown is dead! But you have to marry him in your sister's name." My mother said to me in a cold tone. My sister was engaged to the hottest billionaire. It should have been a perfect marriage. Unexpectedly, Carroll was dead in an accident. My sister didn't want to become a widow, so she forced me to marry her dead fiance. And I had no right to refuse her. Actually, I was the biological daughter of the Smith family. My sister was an adoptive one. My sister and I had been swapped at the hospital when we were just born. My parents had already had a deep relationship with her. So they chose to sacrifice me. On the wedding day, I was taken to the mourning hall. "Ma'am, please keep Master company and let him feel warm." The housekeeper said with a cold expression. I couldn't help but look up at the portrait above the coffin, and my heart skipped a beat at this glance. The man in the portrait was more handsome than the superstars in Hollywood. Carroll Brown? My dead husband? Wow, he was really handsome! I didn't know how long had passed when my stomach began to rebel. After one glance at the coffin, I swallowed my saliva and then begged with my fingers crossed. "Mr. Carroll, I'm starving! May I eat your pastries? You don't mind, do you?" "I do." "Ah!" Scared, I broke out in a cold sweat. My legs went limp, and I fell to the ground. I shouted, "Ghost!" Carroll curled his lips, leaned over, and touched the black coffin. "Mr. Carroll has risen from the dead. What do you think of this headline tomorrow?"
