His Heaven

1. At Auction

The auction hall glowed under soft golden lights, murmurs of old money and new power filling the air like perfume. Crystal glasses clinked faintly with champagne, and the walls were lined with high-security frames displaying pieces worth small fortunes.

A Man stood near the back, an island of composed stillness in a sea of curated chaos. The tailored black suit clung to his tall frame like armor. CEO of one of the world’s most powerful conglomerates, he was known for his ruthless efficiency, brutal business acumen, and a cold demeanor that had earned him the nickname “The Phantom Wolf” in tabloids.

He hated public events like this. But there was one piece he wanted. A painting—untitled, unsigned, but unmistakably valuable. Raw, emotional strokes. Broken color. He didn’t need it for the money—it simply spoke to something buried deep inside him, something he didn’t name

**saw someone**
She wasn’t dressed like the others. No glittering gown, no calculated allure. She wore an oversized coat, a simple high ponytail, and thick-rimmed glasses that seemed too large for her face. She wandered the gallery like she didn’t belong—but didn’t care either. She paused in front of one sculpture tucked into the far corner, its bronze limbs bent in torment

You poor thing ☹️**she whispered to the sculpture, her voice laced with empathy**

They deserve better company than the people here.
Rafael stared. Not at her appearance, but her presence. There was no fake polish, no calculated charm. Just authenticity. Something so rare in his world, it felt almost jarring.
Most people wilted beneath his gaze or tried to impress him. She did neither
He could’ve said something clever. Instead, he stood silently, his mask unshifting

Intresting perspective **Neutral voice**

Thanks**she replied, turning her attention back to the sculpture**

You are?
He didn’t answer. That strange pull in his chest—foreign and unwelcome—tightened slightly. Instead, he nodded once, then walked away, disappearing into the crowd
Lorraine Winifred/Fl
Lorraine Winifred/Fl
**watched him go with tilted face**
Something about him felt...off. Controlled. Too perfect on the outside, too silent inside. Like a character she hadn’t written yet.
She smiled to herself and turned back to the sculpture, unaware that she’d just rattled the untouchable Rafael Blackwood
Rafael returned to his private lounge balcony overlooking the floor. He slipped a hand into his pocket, thumb brushing the cool silver of his watch. It was an unconscious habit—one he only did when he was unsettled.
The girl hadn’t recognized him. That was rare. Even rarer? He hadn’t felt bored in her presence. There was something refreshing about her. Like walking into a quiet storm
Rafeal Blackwood/Ml

**standing lazily leaning against window**
After pondering sometime, he called his assistant

**Lifted an eyebrow, impressed**
She didn’t know that the man who had quietly captured her attention had just bought the painting for ten times its value, and was still thinking about the girl in the oversized coat who whispered to bronze statues.
And Rafael? He’d went away with a half-smile no one would ever see. Not because of the painting
Because of her

2. Concern about Rafeal's marriage

The echo of his polished shoes against the marble floor was the only sound in the cavernous Blackwood mansion as Rafael stepped through the double doors. He shrugged off his suit jacket and handed it to a waiting housekeeper, loosening the stiff collar around his neck. The air was still, heavy with the kind of silence only extreme wealth could afford—luxurious, vast, and cold.
But tonight, something was different.
He sensed it before he saw it. The faint scent of old books and vintage tobacco lingered in the air—a scent that never came from him.
"Back early from the auction,” came a gravelly voice from the lounge
Rafael glanced to the side and found his grandfather seated in one of the worn leather chairs by the fireplace, a half-full glass of whisky in hand. The flames cast a warm, flickering glow across his weathered face. Elias Blackwood was a man of rare words but strong opinions. He had built the original foundation of Blackwood International with blood and bone before Rafael took it to impossible heights.

Then he thought of her-- Lorraine

The girl with messy hair and oversized glasses, whispering to sculptures like they were old friends. He didn’t even know her full name at the time, but her words had echoed in his mind all night. Something about the quiet defiance in her voice, the unapologetic way she existed in a world that didn’t deserve her—it stuck

They sat in silence for a few minutes, watching the fire crackle between them. It was rare—this kind of peace. Not the calculated calm of a boardroom, but the warm, unspoken understanding between two men cut from the same stone.
Rafeal Blackwood/Ml
Rafeal Blackwood/Ml

**He sighed Eyes distant** Sometimes. But not always. I lost people, yes. But the ones that mattered—your grandmother, your parents—they were worth more than all the rest. You can build the world, Rafa, but it won’t mean anything if you don’t have someone to come home to
Rafael nodded once, the words sinking deeper than he let on
Elias Blackwood/Ml Grandfather
Elias Blackwood/Ml Grandfather
Anyway ** He said, rising slowly with the creak of old joints** when you do find her—this mysterious woman who made you smile—just make sure you don’t push her away before she even knows what you are
Rafeal Blackwood/Ml
Rafeal Blackwood/Ml
I’ll think about it **he murmured**
Elias Blackwood/Ml Grandfather
Elias Blackwood/Ml Grandfather
Don’t think too long ** replied, patting his shoulder** She might not wait forever.
As the old man walked away, Rafael remained seated, eyes flickering toward the shadows dancing along the walls
For once, the silence around him didn’t feel so empty
It felt like the beginning of something he hadn’t let himself hope for in a long time

Elias Blackwood (74 yrs old)
A man who once built an empire with calloused hands and a sharp mind, Elias Blackwood is the revered patriarch of the Blackwood family. Now in his early eighties, Elias exudes timeless dignity, with sharp gray eyes that miss nothing and a voice that still commands boardrooms and family dinners alike. A self-made industrialist in his youth, Elias laid the foundation of the Blackwood conglomerate before passing the reins to his grandson, Rafeal. Unlike the cold pragmatism of modern tycoons, Elias believes in legacy, loyalty, and love—principles that he fears Rafeal is losing sight of. Though firm and sometimes traditional, Elias possesses a dry wit and hidden warmth. He’s the only one who can tease Rafeal and live to tell the tale. Despite his wealth, he leads a relatively simple life at the family estate, tending to old books, vintage chessboards, and memories of his late wife, whom he loved dearly. He’s deeply concerned about Rafeal’s emotional solitude and often nudges him toward settling down—not for the sake of heirs, but because he wants his grandson to experience a love that’s real, not strategic. Elias is the quiet force behind many turning points, his wisdom shaping more than just the Blackwood business—but the heart of the man who will one day lead it fully.

3. Lorraine

Lorraine stepped out of the cab and into the cool night air, the earthy scent of damp soil and blooming jasmine wrapping around her like a welcome-home embrace. Her small countryside cottage stood a few miles outside the city—modest, charming, and completely hers. She had bought it two years ago with her first major royalty check, choosing peace over luxury, nature over noise.
As she approached the gate, a familiar soft meow greeted her. A chubby cat with mismatched eyes trotted over, tail high and purring like a tiny motor.

There you are bubble

Did you guard the garden again while I was gone?
The garden was her pride and therapy. Rows of vibrant vegetables stretched behind the cottage—carrots, kale, tomatoes, and even bell peppers. Fruit trees lined one side, and a scatter of wildflowers danced beneath them, painting the edges of her world in color.
Inside, the cottage was cozy and lived-in. A couch with faded cushions, books stacked in every corner, and art supplies littered across a sturdy wooden table. Watercolors, sketchpads, and graphic tablets lay like remnants of her inner world.
She fed Bubble, humming softly as he happily dug into his meal, then changed into a loose shirt and soft cotton shorts. After a quick rinse, she tied her hair up and began her nightly chores—watering the plants, wiping down surfaces, and preparing a simple dinner of roasted vegetables and herb rice.
Dinner was quiet, like most nights. But tonight, her thoughts drifted back to the man at the auction
Rafeal
He hadn’t introduced himself, but the weight of his presence had lingered long after he walked away. He wasn’t handsome in a conventional way—but there was something still and piercing about him. Like he was always watching the world from behind some invisible glass
And yet… he listened to her. Without interrupting. Without laughing
She sipped her water, brushing a stray curl from her cheek

Lorraine went to her bedroom for rest leaving bubble in her small house
At bedroom
She started to think about why she went to Auction
Lorraine Winifred never planned to attend the auction that night. She preferred to stay behind the scenes, cloaked in anonymity, quietly creating worlds through ink and dialogue. But when her close friend and art mentor, Professor Ansel Merrick, fell ill with the flu just hours before he was set to present a restoration report on a rare bronze sculpture at the auction, he called Lorraine in a panic.

Ansel Merrick/Fl Mentor
You’re the only one I trust with this piece **he croaked over the phone**
Ansel Merrick/Fl Mentor
Ansel Merrick/Fl Mentor
Just go, hand in the report, answer basic questions, and disappear before anyone tries to drag you into small talk.”
Lorraine groaned, but agreed. She owed the professor too much to say no. He’d been the first to encourage her illustrations, long before her secret identity as the wildly successful comic artist 'RaeWin' had made her a fortune. More importantly, she adored the sculpture—a twisted, haunting figure that had inspired one of her most emotionally raw comic panels
She arrived wearing her favorite oversized trench coat, hair pulled back messily, glasses slightly fogged from the sudden shift from cold night to warm gallery. She expected to drop off the report, give a quick explanation to the curator, and leave unnoticed
But then she saw the sculpture under harsh lighting, its anguish lost among glittering gowns and hollow admiration. Her empathy stirred, and she couldn’t help whispering to it like an old friend
That’s when he appeared. Cold voice. Sharp gaze. Richer than everyone else in the room combined. He wasn’t just looking at her—he was studying her
She had no idea who Rafael Blackwood was. But something about him felt both dangerous and fascinating
And, unknowingly, she had just stepped into the orbit of a man whose world rarely let people walk back out
Lorraine was curled up on her bed, sketchbook in hand, when her phone buzzed. Seeing Ansel Merrick flash across the screen, she answered with a soft smile.
