EIGHTEEN
Haven
On a list of things Iâd rather cut off my foot than do, dinner with my father is at the top. My churning stomach doesnât help. The only reason Iâm able to get through this is the handsome man turning onto the street where I grew up.
He drove one of his brotherâs fancy carsâa Bugatti, for fuckâs sake. If that doesnât impress my father, I donât know what will.
As the gate to the house opens slowly, another wave of nausea hits me. âFuck.â
âItâs going to be fine, Haven. We can get through this.â
Blowing out a breath, I squeeze my eyes shut. âI hate this, Rapha. I hate feeling so powerless and weak around him. Itâs like being a child all over again.â
He slows the car, reaching to pull my hand into his. âYou have the upper hand. Donât forget that youâre the one with the power now. If heâs a smart man, heâll recognize that.â
âHeâs smart, but heâs a stubborn ass. Itâs a family trait.â
âThen use it.â He kisses my cheek before driving onto the circular driveway. âBe stubborn. Hold your ground. You are no longer beholden to him for anything.â
I nod, shaking my shoulders out to release some stress. âYouâre right.â I flip the visor down to study my reflection. Eyeliner still in place, lips still glossy. âHe hates when I wear makeup, so of course I did a full face.â
âAnd you are stunning. Did you make that outfit too?â
âYes.â I glance down at my white suit with hot-pink pinstripes and sky-high heels. âI feel good.â
âYou look good, but most importantly, youâre in charge. This is nothing but a show for them. You have nothing to prove, not really. Not to them.â
âRight.â
âBy Wednesday night, youâll be a married man, and Iâll stay as long as you need me.â
I turn and focus on Raphaâs gorgeous face. His gaze is serene but somehow intense at the same time, and the longer I look, the calmer I feel. Damn, this man is good for me.
âIâm ready.â
He smiles. âGood. Letâs go in.â
Once Iâm out of the car, I straighten my suit and walk around to meet Rapha. He offers his hand before kissing my temple. A sense of overwhelming confidence I didnât feel before spreads through me, so I hold my head high as we approach the front door.
I ring the bell, which is weird, but then, I havenât been here since I was asked to leave. The door opens and my mother is there, looking glamorous and beautiful as always with her black hair flowing over her shoulders, a pretty pink dress on, and the loving green eyes I still see in my dreams.
âHaven.â She opens her arms and I step into them, soaking in the warmth only a motherâs hug can provide. When I step back, she keeps her hands on my shoulders, taking me in. âYou look wonderful. Happy.â
âI am happy. This is Raphael.â
Her eyes shift to the man beside me, who bows his head slightly before taking her hand and kissing the back of it.
