The Otherside Of Love || Sadistic Billionaire

Natalie’s POV

‘What was he angry about!!’ I thought.

But OMG!!

The word sex from his lips had another taste, my whole body trembled, and a shiver went down my spine. Dangerously, I felt like I would be exposed to him! I couldn’t afford the consequences if he knew that I meant no one other than him!

I looked around pretending to be looking for someone and said, “He is not here, yet!”

Rafael was still silent, he just tightened his grip around me, so I was afraid he didn’t believe me. I completed saying with my stupid fake smile, “I will arrange to make you both meet someday”. I hoped he would forget about it once he got involved with Debbie later on at the dance stage.

I should not let him know my feelings, or I would have made a fool of myself.

“My pleasure!” he said with his masculine voice and a strange twinkle in his eyes.

I saw Debbie coming towards us. Swimmingly, I sighed in relief, pulled my hands from his neck, and stepped back.

Debbie gripped Rafael’s hand, smirked, and demanded, “I guess you should find a man for yourself darling! And keep your hands away from mine!”

Intentionally, she emphasized the word MINE!

Rafael raised his eyebrow and said with a mean gaze, criticizing me, “Natalie has a secret boyfriend!”

Holly crap!!

Twinkles and sparks went across my skin, and I saw Debbie’s stunned face, but she relaxed and smiled instantly, saying, “Oh dear Natalie, that’s why you hesitate to give David a reply?? You have a secret lover!?”

I screamed in my mind, ‘Rather, a secret husband’

I sighed in disbelief when Raf asked with a long face, “David?”

Debbie replied excitedly, “Yeah, he adores her, but she still didn’t give him a chance, and now I know why!”

She finished her sentence by staring at me.

Rafael raised his eyebrow and exclaimed, “Just a few hours I had been thinking you were still young and innocent, to figure out you had a secret lover and an adored man!?”

‘Why is this happening to me?? Legally, Rafael is mine, but I can’t claim this right! Otherwise, I have to pretend that I am in love with someone! What a bad shit I got myself into!!!!’ I exclaimed in my mind.

I made a big smile to hide my miserable feelings, then said, ignoring what Rafael just declared, “OK, I hope you be happy ever after, guys” and winkled at Debbie to add “Now, I’m gonna take your previous advice and look for my boyfriend”

I rolled my phone screen pretending to make a call while moving away before Rafael could add anything else.

I went a few steps away, then I heard someone calling my name. I turned to the sound source. It was a tall blond man with a charming Hollywood smile on his handsome face!

“Hello! Are you Natalie?”

His beautiful smile was contagious, so I smiled back.

“Hi, yes, it’s me,” I replied.

He reached out his hand and shaked mine.

“I’m Daniel Roswen, your new neighbor,” he introduced himself.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

I took a glass of champagne from the waiter who was passing in front of us holding a drinks’ tray. I felt I needed one so deeply.

“Nice to meet you Daniel, I hope you liked the neighborhood!”

I drank my glass in one gulp, and sought for another one. I am not good with alcohol though. I get drunk sometimes from the first glass.

Daniel offered me his untouched yet drink. I accepted it forthwith and swallowed it in a second.

“Yes, I liked it, it’s nice and quiet” he assured.

“Would you like to dance?” I said that without thinking once I saw Rafael dancing with Debbie.

Daniel raised his eyebrows in surprise, then smiled and said, “Yes, sure! It’s my pleasure”

He placed his hand on my back, and we headed to the dance stage.

Back there, the song was slow, my head was so heavy, and I couldn’t keep up with Daniel’s steps.

“Just relax, beautiful. I will guide you!” he said.

If it wasn’t for the alcohol effect, I wouldn’t be in that guts to ask someone who I met for the first time to dance with.

I look like a wild girl!

“You’re like an angel!” I mumbled.

Unconscious, I put my head on his chest, not knowing that I was making a mess. “Why is your chest not warm like him?” I whispered in grief.

“What?” Daniel dazed.

I saw Rafael glaring at me with his dark gaze.

“He is so handsome. We have been married for a year. Three days ago was our anniversary, but guess what!! He never slept with me!”

I was drunk. Miserable drunk and not realizing what I was saying.

I uttered a lot of nonsense words, and finally fainted.

I opened my eyes slowly, feeling a horrible headache that almost tore my head apart.

“Finally, you woke up!!” a masculine voice said.

What?

I looked around, it was not my room!

Have I been kidnapped!!

I sat in a hurry and exclaimed with fear, “where am I?”

A blond man smugly replied, “In my house, exactly on my couch”

“What the hell?” I snapped.

I looked at myself with horror. Then, I sighed in relief, I’m still in my dress.

I snapped my gaze at him, “How did you get me here?”

He smiled and replied, “On your feet, beautiful. I saved you, you were miserably drunk”

“Haha… It’s not funny!!” I grumbled and added, “A …. And.. What is your name?”

He shaked my hand and was still smiling, “Meresbi, Daniel Meresbi, Miss Natalie. And I am your new neighbour. I have introduced myself to you for the second time in less than twenty four hours”

Yes! I felt he was familiar!

Then I remembered him, he is the new neighbor!! But I couldn’t remember why I was in his house.

“Oh, yes! You’re the new neighbor!” I said and rolled my eyes around the place, then added embarrassedly: “did we…?”

“Made love?” He chuckled and winked at me, “No, we didn’t, I don’t make love with married women!”

I was shocked…

How the hell does he know about my marriage?

I squeezed my forehead with my fingers trying to focus and remember what exactly had happened last night?
