"Let go of me! Let me go" Sephy said trying to pull free but Raphael held on to her and was very strong.
His hand found its way to the zipper at the back of her dress and when he would have pulled it off.
Sephy clenched onto the dress tightly while he sighed, staring at her.
"Someone is bound to take you someday and that person is me, so stop fretting and give up" he said but she shook her head in return.
"If I am going to give myself to someone then it wouldn't be you, so stop this and let me go!" She yelled even as she managed to pull free from him.
Heading towards the bathroom for escape, she managed to get to the entrance when she tripped on her gown which got her falling on the floor and hitting her head on the wall.
"Sephy!" Raphael voce was the last thing she heard before losing consciousness.
A while later she woke up to find herself still in his room.
What happened after she lost consciousness, she was still thinking when the door opened revealing a middle aged lady.
"You're awake," the lady said, giving her a smile.
"Who are you?" She asked
"I'm the head housekeeper, everyone calls me Madam JoJo, " the lady replied.
"What happened?" Sephy asked.
"Well, you got injured and master Raphael told me to come take care of you" she replied.
"Raphael that bastard!" She yelled when she remembered the whole thing he made her go through.
When Madam JoJo said nothing in reply, she turned to stare at her only to see a shocked expression on her face.
"What happened?"
"Nothing. Am just surprised by the name you called Raphael, no one I know will dare call him that" Madam Jojo replied.
"Why? Because they are scared of him?", Sephy asked.
"That and many more and in your case I suggest you try to hold your temper cause Raphael temper is twice as much as yours. Now put on this night dress" she said and that's when Sephy realized that she was naked.
"Did...did...he....did we...."
"If you are asking if he took you then I don't know about that but I can assure you that I was the one who took off your clothes and Raphael wasn't here when that happened" She replied which got Sephy feeling relieved.
The incident earlier put a stop to whatever thing he had in mind for her, she thought as held the bed sheets tightly.
"Start getting dressed, Raphael will be back soon" Madam Jojo said which got her panicking again.
"Back? Won't I be left on my own for this night?" Sephy asked.
"You won't and besides this is Raphael's room and so he's coming back to his room. If you don't want him to see you naked then put that gown on" Madam JoJo said which got her into action.
"Good then, I will let him know that you are awake now" she said wanting to leave but Sephy took hold of her hand.
"If you are working here then you will know about my circumstances," Sephy said slowly.
"I don't! I only work here and whatever else the boss does is none of my concern" Madam JoJo said.
"So you are saying you can't help me?" Sephy asked.
"What I can tell you is that the boss isn't a bad person. Get some rest" she added but Sephy pulled her back again.
"If you can't help me then at least watch over my sister. She's somewhere else and she must be feeling scared and alone, can you please watch over her?" Sephy asked as tears brimmed in her eyes.
"I don't know who your sister is but I will help you keep an eye on her" Madam Jojo replied after a while and with a nod, she left the room.
Sephy sat in the room thinking about her chat with madam Jojo while hoping Violet was safe.
She was still thinking about Violet when she heard someone footsteps.
Knowing it to be Raphael, she got onto the bed quickly pretending to be asleep.
She heard the door open and heard him walking about the room.
She lay still hoping with all her heart that he won't take up from where he stops.
She heard the tap running, signifying that he is in the bathroom.
He got out a while later and the lights went off.
She felt him get into the bed and stiffened a bit.
Knowing he will continue from where he stopped earlier, she waits for his touch but nothing comes.
Instead the sheets engulf her and slowly she opens her eyes.
"Were you expecting me to continue my immoral ways with you?" He asked from behind and when she said nothing, he continued.
"Am not that of a brute, I might want revenge but I won't stoop so low and take you when you are weak"
"So sleep in peace cause I won't lay a hand on you but I will welcome you if you do lay your hand on me" he added.
"Never" she whispered but he heard which got him chuckling and somehow she had the urge to see his face.
"And a warning, I sleep in my birthday suit. So if you turn around to see something huge, don't blame me cause I gave you a warning" he said while she silently cursed him.
When she heard the slow rhythm of his voice telling her that he was asleep, she finally slept off clutching to the side of the bed knowing her bad habit in sleeping.
It was late in the night that Raphael woke up due to some one who kept pushing him.
He saw Sephy sleeping on him, how she got there he had no idea but having her soft pliant body on his got his manhood hardening.
He tried getting her back on the bed without waking her up but she clutched onto him, still asleep.
Letting out a sigh, Raphael let her sleep on him but it took a lot of willpower to resist taking her and he wondered why.
He is someone who always takes what he wants but why is he hesitating with her, he thought as sleep claimed him again.

~ NEXT DAY ~
Ginger got into the kitchen only to see some maids there.
Judging by their behavior, Ginger could tell that they were gossiping.
"She slept in his room until this morning," the first maid said.
"Don't you think she's different?" The second asked.
"Why do you say so?"
"Boss Raphael is someone who never lets someone else sleep in his room until the next day but I heard from the maid who went to his room this morning that that lady from yesterday slept overnight and on his bed" The second maid replied.
"So you are saying he's serious with this girl?" The first maid asked.
"What do you think? Boss Raphael must have fallen head over heels for her"
"Where does that put Lady Ginger?"
"Right where she belongs" the second maid replied while they both laughed in mockery of Ginger who was listening to their conversation.
"She has always acted like the boss' wife when she is just part of the many girls who warm his bed" the first girl said.
"Is that so?" Ginger asked, suddenly startling the two poor girls.
"Lady Ginger!" They said in fright.
"So am just one of the many ladies Raphael f**ks right?" She asked harshly.
"No! We didn't mean it that way" the first maid replied only to receive a slap from Ginger.
"You filthy piece of trash! The least you can do after getting help from Raphael is to mind your business but you dare talk about me? Should I show you how important I am in Raphael's life, should I make you bleed and beg for mercy?" Ginger asked while they shook their heads.
"Then don't talk about things you don't know. For the record, Raphael is the one chasing me, not the other way around. So mind what you say or I'll kill you, get that!" She yelled while the two girls nodded, scrambling off in fear.
"That's the spirit girl," Miranda said, hailing Ginger from the doorway.
"Bunch of noisy fools, if I had my way I would have gotten rid of them," Ginger said in anger.
"You can't have your way when it comes to the workers but you certainly can with the whore Raphael just brought back" Miranda suggested which got Ginger's brow raising in curiosity.
"What do you suggest I do to a pest like her?" Ginger asked.
"Well this is what I suggest you do. You should..."
