Chapter 55 Nightmare

(William's POV)
I anxiously opened my phone and checked the messages on it.
But doing so is a waste of time.
It's been half a month since Lena returned home, and Charlie told me that Rafael had met Lena a long time ago.
I knew that a man like Rafael would never let Lena go again. Rafael must have told Lena all about what happened before.
I thought of this and closed my eyes in despair.
I understood that Lena did not put down Rafael at all.
If Lena did not love Raphael, there is no way she would not accept my feelings even after forgetting everything.
I don't understand why, even though Raphael has hurt Lina like this, Lina still can't get over Raphael completely?
Everything I knew about the effort was like a joke.
I have given so much for Lena, and even if she doesn't accept me, I don't want her to fall in love with Raphael again.
I took a deep breath. My body had begun to tremble incessantly with anger and despair, and I thought, I'm afraid, my face will not look any better.
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door of my room.
I immediately straightened myself out and made myself look not particularly bad. However, when Elsa came in, she still seemed shocked by my face.
"Honey, I called you outside several times and you didn't respond to me, I thought something had happened to you."
I smiled at Aisha, although the smile seemed a little far-fetched, but, Aisha still did not continue to press me about the situation.
She just looked worried and her tone was all sad: "Lena's gone, William, I know you're worried about her, but there's nothing you can do about it right now."
I didn't want to hear Aisha talk to me about this. My tone became a little hard: "What do you want from me?"
"I just wanted to drop off a letter for you, William."
Aisha handed me the envelope, but, still, she didn't leave. I looked at her with a somewhat puzzled gaze, "What's the matter, what else do you want to say to me?"
Elsa sighed: "I know, William, none of us want that to happen even I'm worried about her, but if you're just as hurt-"
"Who's hurt?" My voice suddenly tensed.
My voice was loud, and it did scare Aisha.
However, at the time Aisha said those words, I already began to feel that something was not quite right.
Lena never talked to me about these things, she didn't tell me anything, even though we lived together for five years and we had been each other's most trusted presence, Lena still didn't tell me exactly what happened to her.
This is all because of Raphael, it must be Raphael who coerced Lena.
It must be Rafael!
My anger was about to overwhelm me, I couldn't forgive Rafael, I would protect Lena and wouldn't give him the chance to hurt her again!
"William! Oh my God! William! Can you hear me!"
My body trembled violently and I looked at Aisha, who looked so anxious that her face had turned pale.
The envelope in my hand had been squeezed and it was getting a little crumpled.
I freaked Aisha out.
"William, are you all right?"
I gave Aisha a somewhat tired smile and shook my head, "It's okay, I just miss Lena a little too much, and besides, Lena didn't tell me she was hurt."
"Jesus! William, you scared me just now, and if I knew you would react like that, I wouldn't have told you!" Elsa looked a little angry, but I was no longer in the mood to continue to spend time with her.
"It won't happen next time."
"You better remember what you said." Aisha gave me an exasperated look before she turned and walked out.
It wasn't until after Aisha closed the door that my heart completely tensed up. I opened the envelope she gave me. Even without opening the envelope, I had already guessed exactly what was inside.
Charlie didn't call me, but it was way past our agreed-upon time. Raphael is a big threat to me, and I'm afraid that Charlie isn't safe now either, I think.
Ever since Rafael drove me to France, he has been keeping an eye on my trail. Only, he probably didn't think that even if I was alone on the French side, I could still evade his surveillance.
It wasn't easy to do this, but after I finished preparing everything, I brought Lena to France.
However, five years later, I did not expect that Lena still did not escape the palm of Raphael's hand.
After I saw the contents of the letter, my thoughts were thoroughly confirmed.
Charlie told me all about his situation inside the letter, and after reading it, I couldn't help but close my eyes.
Raphael has too many forces in New York, even if he wanted to help me find Lena's trail and check on her, it would not be an easy task.
Now, Raphael has sensed my presence.
I knew that I already had to get back to the United States soon, and only then could I get Lena out as soon as possible.
(Lena's POV)
At that moment, I didn't know who I was anymore.
I looked into Rafael's eyes and when he kissed me, I could think of nothing else. Of course, if that counts as a kiss.
Lena, calm down, it's nothing!
However, I still want to say something.
As I was about to speak, Jamie was already walking toward us with the toy car.
He also seemed to feel that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
"What's wrong, Jamie?"
Jamie didn't say anything, he ran a few steps and soon came up to me.
Jamie came up to me and when I thought Jamie was trying to say something to me, he kissed me on the cheek!
God! He saw it all!
My face burned red in a flash, and I didn't even know what kind of expression I should put on right now.
But strangely enough, I wasn't angry.
As I was about to say something, I saw Rafael's face go cold for a moment, and then, he hugged Jamie right out of my way.
"Rafael, what are you doing!"
I suddenly stood up, pointed at Rafael, and started shouting.
Miller's voice came from upstairs, "Ma'am, are you okay? Do you need my help?"
I closed my eyes in some despair, and then, slapping the top of my head, I shouted, "No, it's okay! I'm fine, Miller, you don't have to worry about me!"
Miller responded to me and then didn't say anything further. I looked to Rafael, who was also looking at me, "Lena, you didn't think I was going to do anything to Jamie, did you?"
I do think so.
Of course, I certainly couldn't say such things out loud. I smiled at Raphael, and then, I shook my head vigorously.
"What if you suddenly pick him up and scare him?"
Jamie looked at me with a pair of big eyes, and then, surprisingly, he was very cooperative and cried directly.
"Look." I lifted my head proudly and looked at Raphael.
Rafael was not at all expecting this development, he looked very surprised, and of course, I still suspect he was resisting the urge to hit Jamie.
Jamie is still crying - not a single tear has fallen.
Eventually, Rafael finally compromised, and he put Jamie down.
Jamie immediately stopped crying and he ran to me, opening his arms hoping I would hold him.
I won't refuse such a request.
Rafael sighed, he did not say something, but, his eyes were on me.
I had forgotten what had just happened, and as a result, because Raphael's sight was so eager, it reminded me again of the sudden kiss I had just received.
I felt my cheeks burn again.
"Raphael, could you not be so abrupt next time."
"And you expect me to have a next time, Lena?"
I rolled my eyes, "Don't you misinterpret what I'm saying."
"But that's what you mean when you say that."
Raphael said with me in a very innocent tone, and to be honest, I felt sure I would lose out if I continued to argue with him.
Because now, my mind is very unclear.
I stopped paying attention to him, but my mouth was still saying something, and then, I walked around Raphael and went past the side.
When I reached the second floor, I didn't resist glancing downstairs, Raphael was still standing there, but he seemed to have expected me to look back at him.
I stood upstairs, taking Jamie's hand and gazing quietly at Rafael.
Suddenly, I once again felt some familiarity.
It seems like we often do things like this and get satisfaction from looking at each other even if we don't talk.
At this time, my head suddenly came a stabbing pain, I shook my head hard, but I just thought it was because I was a little tired and did not think about it particularly much.
Then, I took Jamie straight back into the room.
This night, I did not sleep very well.
It was not until late at night that I went to sleep completely. But, soon, I had a dream.
I saw that the dream was pitch black, and at this time, the surroundings suddenly became noisy. I blinked, and suddenly there were a lot of people around me. It was a bar, but there was no one I knew inside this bar.
I walked inside and saw Rafael sitting on the couch. He didn't see me and, well, he didn't look very good.
I went to his side and waved my hand in front of him, and Rafael still did not respond.
My brow furrowed, and then, I followed his gaze, but, to my surprise, there was another one of me there.
I was wearing a beautiful, sexy dress in my dream, and she suddenly turned her head, and my eyes snapped open the moment our eyes met.
