Chapter 47

• Rafael tried to calm himself as he drove to the airport but he just couldn't, he couldn't do it, this was far from what he could have thought, he hadn't expected this blow, he had been happily planning a live and starting a family with a liar, he was a fool, he should have seen the red flags but he had been blind, blinded by whatever she had bewitched him with, there were so many instances where, there were so many clues but he had ignored them all thinking marriage to him had changed her just like it has been for him, he was a fool, he couldn't think of anything else, the flight back was hell, he regretted leaving her behind, which was a new thing, why would he regret it when she did him wrong, she can get home by herself and he was going to stick with what he said, he want nothing to do with her anymore, she was not even the woman he married, yes he married her but it's not her, it was so confusing, they messed with him, messed with his life, he should be angry but he wasn't even angry, he was hurt, this wasn't anger that he was feeling no, he felt betrayed, felt used, he had gone out to get her something as a surprise and had run into an old friend who happen to know the Evans twin and knew he married one of them, but then he hadn't called Natalie's name instead, he kept mentioning Nicole, and he had corrected the man who had said he was sure that he married the other twin not Natalie, he had looked like a fool in front of the man, and hadn't believed him, he didn't even want to talk to her about it but the doubt was already there, there was so much character change that had made him ask her and it turned out to be true, he didn't marry the twin he thought he did, the woman he was married to wasn't his wife but at the same time she was his wife, he didn't even know how to process the whole thing, or who he should be mad at the more, was it Natalie? The one he originally met or Nicole? The one who has been living with him, who had become his close friend, more than a friend, God, it was hard to take.
• When he got back to Florida, he decided to move on from her, she wasn't his real wife anyway, he left the apartment and moved to his penthouse the very day he got back to Florida, he tried to keep a low profile as he didn't want the bloggers and media in his business.
• Returning back to work wasn't as easy as he thought he would be, he couldn't get much work done, all he could think about was her face when he told her that he was done, she had looked so, God he shouldn't even be thinking about it but he couldn't help it, she had lied to him, lied to him, made him believe shits he never thought he would believe, made him believe just maybe he could start a family and be part of one and be happy, be in love, God, the blow, it came without warning and had hit him so bad.
