The Shark Mafia Boss novel Chapter 52

Raphael POV

I look at both Joseph and Michael and I nod, Olivia helps me sitting back in the chair and as my back meets the chair I flinch

“Does it hurt?”

“A little, but I’ve had worse”

“Leave both of you” – I say looking at Joseph and Michael

They both leave and Olivia kneels in front of me between my knees and hugs me tight. I look down at her and all I can do is grin. This woman is the most amazing woman I’ve ever met and I am never letting her go.

“Hey. Look at me” – I say and those beautiful green eyes focus on mine - “I’ve heard you’ve been busy” – I say with a smirk on my face

“Yeah, I thought you probably would need help running things, as you were in hospital and all” – she stops talking and looks at her hands – “I thought it was my fault so I didn’t want you losing money”

“It wasn’t your fault, I turned my back to someone with a gun, I was stupid” – I say

“To look at me” – she says almost in a whisper.

“Hey, look at me” – I say putting two of my fingers under her chin making her look at me – “This was not your fault, I would dir for you, those months without you I was miserable” – I let out

“I was too, I thought you didn’t want me, and when I got kidnapped all I could think was that you would never find me because you didn’t care anymore”

“I would look for you at the end of the world” – I say planting a soft kiss on her nose.

“Can I ask you something?”

“Sure you can”

“Who was the person I was visiting in the hospital?”

“I thought you might ask that” – I say – “He is my double”

“You have a double?” – she asks surprised

“Yes, he usually goes to the public places I need to be seen when I am taking care of my other business”

“Oh. Don’t people realize he’s not you?”

“He doesn’t talk to anyone, he basically hooks up with some girl just to have an alibi” – I say

“So, most of those women you appear in the magazines with?”

“Some of them was me, some of them was him when the photo is on my side or my back it’s usually him, if it’s me looking at the camera, then it’s me” – I say

Olivia smiles

“I know what you are thinking”

“No you don’t” – she says

“You are thinking that I am not the playboy that the magazines and newspaper paint me to be, that I am not that bad, that I don’t use women” – I say and I look at her smile falling – “But I am”

Olivia stands up and starts pacing in front of me.

“Have you fucked anyone after we broke up?” – she asks with her face full of worry

“Olivia, please” – I say

“No, No, I need to know” – she says looking at me

Shit, I think to myself, I can’t lie to her.

“Yes” – I say – “Have you?” – I ask

“No” – she says – “How many?”

“Olivia, this conversation isn’t going to lead anywhere”

“Raphael, please, I need to know”

I take a deep breath and I stand up walking slowly to her. I put both my hands on her hips and pull her to me.

“I’m not going to answer that” – I say now bending myself so I can place a kiss on her neck

“Stop that” – she says – “I want a number”

“None of them satisfied me as much as you did” – I say looking down into her eyes

“Them so was more than one” – she says

“Olivia, this conversation is ridiculous” – I say

“No Raphael, this conversation is not ridiculous, I want a number, 5?”

“More” – I say

“Okay, ten?”

“Olivia please”

“Answer me Raphael or help me God I will walk out of that door right now”

“You are being unreasonable”

“Oh Am I? – she asks

“You are trying to pick a fight with me, something that I don’t want to do, I don’t want to fight with you”
