Chapter fifty.
They walked along the pavement down the street, walking aimlessly.The street had become busier and there was many sights of couples walking around with a smile, hands held and touched in one pocket. Whispering to themselves without a care of who was watching.Niko peaked at Rapheal's finger and she wondered if they still held the warmth from the night before.There was a guy playing a guitar at one side of the street and a small crowd had gathered.The experience was novel, Niko stopped, taking notes with interest. Rapheal stood protectively by her left shielding her from the rush of people. The song was valentine themed and the guitarist played beautifully. At the end everyone clapped enthusiastically and some sincere ones dropped some money in his hat.Taking a turn around a corner they walked into an open space. They were much people, with stalls set up neatly at the side.A large expense of ice spread out in a circle, barricaded around the edge. It was an outdoor ice rink. They

The next day the weather was bright and sunny. It showed signs of a good day to play outdoor.Rapheal woke up in a good mood, it was one of those morning he had nothing planned to do and he was a bit lost on how to spend it.After lying around in bed for a bit more, he stood up and walked to the room next door.At the second knock, the door was thrown open and he was greeted by Niko dressed in her favorite fluffy SpongeBob pyjamas."Bold choice." Rapheal eyes her then commented.Niko frooze, realizing that she had been exposed. Embarrassed but unable to retreat, she could only put on an unimpressed look as she asked."Is there something I can help you with?" Rapheal coughed, resisting the urge to poke on her secret side even more. He said naturally. "I wanted to go out for breakfast, would you like to join?" "Where?" As an introvert who loved lounging in dark places the most, Niko's answer was a 'no' but then she remembered she was on the trip to find an inspiration for her new nove

Rapheal eyes darken and he excused himself before walking over. Unknown to him, Mr Edward and his wife were right behind him."What happened?" He asked Niko, but before she could respond the other girl suddenly reacted."I am sorry. I am sorry, I didn't mean to. I just saw you and wanted to talk to you, but I dont know how I tripped!" She looked in her early teens, fifteen or so. Her face was red from lack of breath as she apologized repeatedly. The sincerity in her voice was hard to ignore."It's okay." Niko replied indifferently. Her tone seemed to make the girl panic even more.She looked at the empty glass in her hand, lamenting how she managed to trip when there was nothing in the way. "How about I compensate you for the dress? I will do anything, just don't dislike me."Surprised by her words, Niko frowned. "I didn't say I dislike you.""You don't?" Her eyes widen with hope, stuttering as she said. "I...I am a big fan of you, I read 'ss top up levelling' and I really love the bo

Niko unconsciously retreated behind Rapheal as they stepped out the car and he stepped forward to shield her from the paparazzi's camera that kept flashy non stop.Of course he knew that the attention in him was not in a good way.Considering his reputation as a trash-son-law that was being kept and his recent success in his publishing company everyone was anxious to get a whiff of information from him. Afterall he hardly showed himself in public.His eyes browsed through the crowd of photographers with a cold gaze and they subconsciously stepped back and stoped shoving the cameras at their face.Without wasting time, he took Niko by the hand and lead her into the hall.They weren't early so the event was already in full swing. Their seat wasn't at the front but not far off either."Rapheal. Didn't expect to see you here." He turned around and saw a familiar face walking towards him.No, two familiar faces.Riley stood besides Austen, his hand resting on the small of her back. She loo

Rapheal took directions from the hotel staff and they went to a mall that was close by.Without any hesitation he walked towards the most expensive shop.The employees where about to turn in for the day when they walked in."Good evening." Raphael greeted with a polite smile. "Sorry, but we really need a dress."Saying this he gestured towards Niko who was standing behind him. The employee was stunned for a second. The man standing in front of her was extremely handsome They must be going to somewhere important. She thought to herself. Apart from the momentarily lapse, she quickly collected herself, saying in a friendly tone. "Right. Good evening sir." She then turned to Niko. Showing her the section with the evening wears and part gowns. "This way ma'am. What kind of dress do you want?""Anything." Niko was unaccustomed to receiving attention. She normally shopped at thrift stores and never experienced having others help her. After thinking for a bit, she added. "No light colors

The entrepreneur network party was held at the begining and ending of each year. It hosted several large and small companies from over the world, creating a space where they could interact, exchange ideas and meet new people in the same social circle.The event was held in London. It was the first time for Niko to take a plane and she was a bit airsick, unable to enjoy the experience at all.When they touched ground she staggered off the plane with a pale face, her stomach churning uncomfortably.Rapheal made her find a place to sit while he went to get their luggages. They didn't pack much as it was just a two day trip.He dragged the wheeled suitcase forward with one hand, a traveling bag strapped to his shoulder."No need. I will carry it." He rejected Niko's offer to help and they headed to the back entrance of the airport where there was someone waiting to pick them up."Mr Rapheal." The driver immediately recognised him as he looked just like in the picture sent and his tall and
