Olívia POV
I leave the office with Joseph. He looks at me giving me some reassurance. He knows I am scared. I haven’t dealt with a frightening situation like this since the kidnapping.
We walk down the corridor into a big entertainment room. Onlookers around and they are covered with massive sofas, blankets, and there’s a games station. From Xbox to Wii, to Nintendo and PlayStation. I smile and Joseph looks at me.
“What?” - he asks looking at the smirk on my face
“Big bad mafia boys like to play?” - I ask
“Oh yeah, we have big competitions going on. We all need the distraction sometimes”
“Does Raphael play?”
“Not a lot, but when he does, he spends hours”
“I see” - I smile with the thought of him being young and carefree. Something I’ve never seen before
“My wife will come and meet you in about 10 min”
“Oh, okay, I didn’t know you were married”
“Did you think that we were all eternal bachelors like Raphael?” - he asks and my smile falls
“Kinda” - I reply
“Most of us are married with families”
“Do you have kids?”
“I do”
I started to daydream there and then. I wish I could have all of that with Raphael. But I know deep down it will never happen. I fucked up big time when I told him to leave. And I know he hasn’t forgiven me completely. I wouldn’t either.
“Hello” - I hear a women’s voice behind us.
“Hi, my love” - I see Joseph turning around and planting a kiss on her lips while her arms pull him closer by the collar of his shirt.
“This is Olivia, the boss would like you to keep her company while we sort out some stuff”
“No problem” - she says smiling at me. I can see she is genuine. And that’s when I see another woman coming in and hugging Joseph’s wife.
“Hello, sorry I am late” - she says and I nod my head.
“Olivia this is our girlfriend “ - I know my face says it all, I try and understand what just happened.
“Girlfriend?” - I ask
“Petra will explain everything to you” - he says taking his leave and both the girls grab my hands and pull me to the big comfortable sofa.
“I’m Petra the wife, and this is Camila, our girlfriend “
“ I am sorry I didn’t mean to sound condescending or rude”
“It’s the normal reaction love”
“See they needed me in their marriage to keep them faithful to each other. We love one another And that’s the most important thing” - Camila says
I nod my head in acceptance.
We talk about their relationship and I am fascinated. I don’t know how Petra can share her husband, but then again, Joseph is sharing his wife as well. From what I understood Camila is there to pleasure them both. And them to her. There’s no preference, no jealousy, they are all equals on that relationship.
They started to focus on me when we finished discussing their relationship.
“So, Raphael, how is he in the sack?”
I chocked on my air. I wasn’t expecting them to be so direct about him.
“He is great” - I let out
“I’ve heard he is a beast” - Camila says and Petra nods in agreement.
“Do you know anyone that he’s been with?” - I ask while I look at my nails trying not to look too interested but I am dying to know.
“Hell yes” - they both say and I look up at them chewing the inside of my lip so they don’t see how anxious I am getting.
“Raphael is a player” - Camila says
“Was a player” - Petra rephrased
“Yeah, was” - Camila corrects herself
“Was?” - I ask with hope in my voice
“Since he met you, the men had been a saint. Well not really a saint as he fucked a few girls along the way, mostly to distract himself from going after you, but he’s not a womaniser like he was, and we haven’t seen the line of women leaving his penthouse every day “ - Camila says while Petra chuckles and I don’t know what to think.
“He told me he slept with someone on that period that we stopped seeing each other “ - I say and I look at them and I can see something on their faces. They know more than they are letting out.
“Let’s change the subject “ - Petra says and Camila nods.
We kept the conversation light and most of the time they were trying to make me laugh, it was nice to talk to a girl again. I miss Anna but o don’t know if I am capable of letting go of what she’s done.
I know my family all approved of her but I still can’t let go of the fact that she betrayed me with my brother. She could’ve told me from the beginning. But she decided it was better to hide it.
I decided to tell the girls about my dilemma with Anna and my brother.
