Chapter 03
■...At William Palace...■
Renée is waiting in the road for cab. Suddenly, Raféal comes with his car and offers her as it is a holiday, so he has time.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Where do you want to go?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Sunshine Orphanage.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
What's the occasion?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Nothing, at my hometown, I used to visit Orphanage frequently. I love spending time with the children, either, I'm happy or sad.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
So, what are you today? Happy or sad?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I'm a bit sad today. I'm missing my mom today.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Will you mind if I join you?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Of course not.
Renée and Raféal pick the gifts and go inside the orphanage. As they cross the entrance, the children run towards Raféal and hug him.
Children
Welcome back, brother Raféal.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Thank you, kiddo.
Children
Why did you take so long?
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Well, I was busy but look at this, this pretty lady brought so many gifts for you.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Hi, kids.
Children
Hi, ma'am. Who is she, brother? Is she your girlfriend or your wife?
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
She is not my wife. She is just my friend.
Children
Just friend? Ooo...
The kids start teasing them.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I guess you guys don't want the gifts.
Kids take the gifts and open them.
Children
Thank you so much.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Now go and play.
Kids run to play. Raféal and Renée go for a walk around the orphanage.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
The kids seem really close to you.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
I visit this when I have time and spend time with them.
They make me feel happy but what they want from me is just some love and acceptance. And I want the same.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I wish you would find the happiness of your life which will make you feel love.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
You too. [Smile]
They walk for a while talking about random things. As they go to the office room and donate checks. The staff thank them, specifically, Raféal, because he donates a big amount regularly.
Raféal and Renée play with the children and spend their time with them until evening. They bid goodbye to everyone and return to the palace.
■...At William Palace...■
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Thank you, Raféal. For accompanying me today.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
I had a good time with you, doctor.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
It's Renée.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Goodnight, DOCTOR. [Smile]
Raféal says and immediately goes to his room. Renée just smiles and goes to her room.
■...In Raféal's Bedroom...■
When Raféal enters his room, he sees Noah is already inside.
Noah Urrea
Finally, you are back. Is your date finished? [Teasingly]
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Date? Are you out of your mind?
Noah Urrea
You used to work all day in your holidays. But today you went for an outing for the entire day with that Dr.Renée, whom you say that you hate. But still, you are saying I'm out of my mind?
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
I just gave her a lift, that's all.
Noah Urrea
Are you starting liking her?
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Stop your nonsense.
Noah Urrea
Then what are you feeling for her, hatred?
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
I am... I'm confused. I should hate her but I don't know why I can't.
Noah Urrea
Listen, Raféal, don't judge anyone so quickly.
If she knows who you and your family are, she might have just come to see and meet you guys. In the end, it's her family, too.
Noah Urrea
She might be a good person and you might have just been thinking wrong about her.
Forgot what happened in the past and give her a chance.
Noah Urrea
You should not hate her. She is not accountable for other's doings.
And I hope you will understand what I am trying to say. Good night.
Noah leaves from the room.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
If she is not accountable, then why did she come back all these years?
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
After all, she is also a Wilson. But the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Oh god, this girl is s definitely turning me crazy. [Sigh]
The night becomes so long for Raféal. Raféal turns on the radio to distract his mind because the last words of Noah disturbed Raféal's peace of mind.
Renée, Bella, Rose and Jack are sitting and having midnight snacks and doing chit-chat.
Roselie William
The picnic was amazing, right?
Jackson William
Yeah, it's been a while since our full family went for outing.
Roselie William
Yeah, I was shocked that how brother Raféal went with us.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Does he hate outing?
Abella William
He is just busy with his business.
Roselie William
Since he started living in Venice, he never spent more than 2 days with us. But this time, surprisingly, he is with us for 2 weeks.
Jackson William
Wait a second, is tomorrow brother Raféal's birthday?
Roselie William
Yes, yes, it's tomorrow.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Why don't you plan something for him?
Roselie William
It's a good idea.
Abella William
No, guys, it's a bad idea.
Raféal doesn't celebrate his birthday. So you shouldn't do this.
Roselie William
What is wrong with this?
Jackson William
Yeah, we will just have fun.
Abella William
I said no, rose.
Suddenly, Bella's phone rings and she leaves them to take the call.
Roselie William
Sister Renée, please help us.
Jackson William
Yes, brother always surprise us. But this time we want to surprise him.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
But sister Bella said no.
Roselie William
We don't need to her permission. We will just call her at the party.
Jackson William
Please, please.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Ok, ok, I will.
But do yo guys know what does he like? Like his favourite colour or something?
Roselie William
We have to figure it out.
Roselie William
So, we have planned everything. But unfortunately, everyone is going to presidents birthday party.
Roselie William
We will prepare everything by 7p.m. You just have to find out brother Raféal's favourite colour and which flavour of cake does he like?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
What? How can I? Ask his mother or grandma?
Jackson William
We did but they don't know.
Roselie William
Please do this.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Ok, I will try.
Renée knocks Raféal's door. He is not opening it. but when she starts leaving, Raféal opens the door and says...
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Do you need anything, doctor?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Yeah, I do. Can I come in?
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Yeah sure.
■...In Raféal's Bedroom...■
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Wow, your room is really beautiful. Did you choose all these?
Raféal picks a book and starts reading it.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Grandma picked them and I said yes.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Your every furniture is black. Is black your favourite colour?
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
I don't have any favourite colour but I prefer dark colours.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Okay. Are you going to the office?
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Yes. What do you need, doctor?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
No, no, I just came to see your room. Rose said you have the best room in the palace.
So, I came to see.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Okay, see around.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Thanks.
While roaming around Renée enters in Raféal's Studies.
■...In Raféal's Studyroom...■
Suddenly, Renée finds a pretty book. When she opens it, she finds a photo.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I never thought I would find a girl's picture in Raféal William's room.
Is she someone special?
When Renée sees the picture, he rushes to her and says...
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Give it back.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Well, let me see.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
I said give it back.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Just a minute.
They start running here and there. Suddenly, They trip on the bed.
They both look at each other's eyes and time just stops for them. The only thing that moves in that moment is their hearts.
Suddenly, Raféal realises their position and snatches the picture from her hand.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Next time, don't even dare to touch my things. Got it?
[Dark Expression]
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I'm sorry. [Scared]
While getting up, Raféal slips and falls on Renée and the top button of her button breaks.
Raféal hurriedly stands up and looks away.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...
Renée leaves the room and rushes to her room.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
What was that! [Blush]
■...In Renée's Bedroom...■
Renée lies down on her bed.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
What the hell just happened! [Blush]
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
How am I gonna face him again.
Why the hell did I even go to his room. [Frustrated]
Noah Urrea
Happy birthday, Buddy.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
When you know I don't like to celebrate my birthday, then why do you wish me?
Noah Urrea
You don't like your birthday, that's why I don't give you gift.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
You can give me gift on other occasions.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
You are such a miser.
Noah Urrea
Oh, really.
Well Raféal, last night, I found some pictures of celebrating your 8th and 9th birthday party. What happened after 10th birthday?
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
I request you for the last time. Don't ask me about anything from the past.
Noah Urrea
Sorry, bro. I won't.
Raféal becomes quite and flashbacks start coming in his mind.
■...Raféal's 10th Birthday...■
Megan Francis
Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday, my dear son, Happy birthday, Raféal.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Thank you, mom.
[10 years old]
Megan Francis
You are turning 10 this year, that's mean you can live alone now. You don't need mom anymore.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Why are you saying this, mom? I need you.
[10 years old]
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Don't leave me, please, MOM. [10 years old]
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
●I hate this day, I just hate it. That woman made my life miserable.●
■...At The Shopping Mall...■
Roselie William
Did you find out anything?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
He said he likes dark colors. Maybe we should go for black theme and chocolate cake.
Roselie William
Okay, let's go.
After buying everything when they are going back. Renée's eyes fall on a shirt.
...............................................................
■...In Raféal's Office Room...■
Raféal is doing his work but suddenly he remembers what happened in the morning.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
What came to her mind that she came to my room all of a sudden.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Her face, her scent, her dress and her body... Aaghh. Get a hold on yourself. Don't act like a maniac.
But she is roaming in my mind every other moment.
■...At William Palace...■
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Everything is ready. Now we have to decorate the room.
Roselie William
Let's Start.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Cake, balloons, food?
Roselie William
Everything is done.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
What else?
Roselie William
I don't think anything is left.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Where is Jack?
Roselie William
He went to call sister Bella.
Abella William
What have you done?
Didn't I tell you guys not to do anything for Raféal's birthday. Why did you do all this?
Roselie William
Calm down. He will like it.
He might not like it because he is getting old but this time he will like it. We worked so hard for this.
Abella William
I don't know. If he gets angry then I will not be a part of it.
Jackson William
Okay, we will take the whole responsibility.
They are talking inside suddenly they hear the car horn. That means Raféal has arrived.
They turn off the lights and take preparations to surprise Raféal.
Raféal enters in the hallway and sees everything dark.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
What happened to the lights? Noah, please turn them on.
The moment the lights turn on.
Renée comes forward with cake in her hands while Rose and Jack are clapping for him and Bella is just sitting on the sofa quietly.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Happy birthday to you.
Roselie William
Happy birthday to you.
Jackson William
Happy birthday to you.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Happy birthday, dear Raféal, happy birthday to you.
Renée stands in front of Raféal and says...
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Wish you a happy life, Raféal.
Raféal's face is getting dark with every passing second. Anger takes all over his face.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
What do you think you are doing? [Gritting Teeth]
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
What do you mean?
Leave it. Blow the candles.
Raféal just raises his hand and throws the cake on the floor.
Renée just stands there in shock.
Raféal holds her hands tightly.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
You are doing this purposely, right?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
You are hurting me.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
AND YOU ARE HURTING ME. [Shout]
Roselie William
Brother, it was me who insisted for the party. Please don't get angry.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
SHUT UP. JUST SHUT UP. [Shout]
And you.
[Pointing on Renée]
I'll never forget this.
Saying this Raféal rushes to his room.
Abella William
Happy now?
Why can't you guys just listen to me?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
What did we do so wrong that he reacted like this?
You know what I should ask him.
Abella William
Renée, stop. Don't...
Renée runs behind Raféal and goes to his room.
Renée angrily bangs on Raféal's room's door but when he opens the door after a while.
■...In Raféal's Bedroom...■
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
What the hell do you think of yourself? Huh.
What did we do so wrong that you behaved like this?
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Just shut up and stop your acting.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
What? Why will I act?
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Shut up, RENÉE WILSON, just shut up.
Do you think I don't know who you are?
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
You are the daughter of Kate and that Leonardo. And you are pretending not to know who we are.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Why? Do you want to take revenge for your mother?
And I thought you would be different from your father.
But how can I forget that you are also a bloody WILSON.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
MIND YOUR LANGUAGE.
How dare you talk about my family like that? And what have we done to you that you can disrespect us like that?
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Fine then, if you want to act, then I will tell you.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Your mother's real name was Kate William.
Renée becomes shocked and her movement freezes.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Your mother was a disgrace for Ivanná. A princess who eloped with a commoner while being committed with a noble.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
That's enough. Not a single word more.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Why? Does the truth hurt?
Your father provoked my aunt and hurt my family. And now you are doing the same.
I HATE you and your mother. Like father, like daughter.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I said, SHUT UP.
Renée rushes to her room and locks herself.
■...In Renée's Bedroom...■
Renée starts crying loudly. Her trust feels broken. She doesn't understand what to do.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Why mom, why? Why did everyone lie to me?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I was living with your family and they didn't even mention you for once.
God knows if they even know that you are...
Suddenly, Leonardo calls Renée. Renée stops crying and picks up the call.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
📞 Hello, dad.
Leonardo Wilson
📞 How are you, sweetheart?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
📞 I'm good, dad. How are you?
Leonardo Wilson
📞 Perfectly fine. Dad's missing you, sweetheart.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
📞 Me too, dad.
Leonardo Wilson
📞 It's been a month. When are you coming?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
📞 Soon, dad.
Leonardo Wilson
📞 Are you sad, sweetheart?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
📞 No, dad. I just wanted to know that, were mom happy with us?
Leonardo Wilson
📞 She was very happy. She had such cute babies like you and Edward. Why wouldn't she be happy.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
📞 Really?
Leonardo Wilson
📞 Are you missing her?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
📞 Yes. A lot.
Leonardo Wilson
📞 Don't be sad, sweetheart. Mom will be upset too.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
📞 Yeah, I will not. Bye, dad.
Leonardo Wilson
📞 Bye, sweetheart.
She cries and cries. In the end, she drifts to sleep while crying.
■...In Raféal's Bedroom...■
Raféal is sitting on the couch and trying to calm down himself.
Suddenly, he notices a shopping bag on his bed.
He opens it and finds a green sweatshirt.
Raféal notices a letter with the shirt.
As he reads the letter, his anger turns into guilt.
He throws the letter and shouts.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
DAMN IT.
■...In Renée's Bedroom...■
Renée is feeling so low that she can't even get up from her bed. Suddenly, she remembers something.
Renée and Rose are sitting alone in Renée's room.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
The third floor of the palace is so huge but there are only 3 rooms, why?
Roselie William
I don't know. But do you know whose room is besides yours?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Raféal's room and storeroom.
Roselie William
That's not a storeroom. I heard that we have an aunt. She left the family a while ego. We never even saw her picture. Nobody in the palace talks about her.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
What's her name?
Roselie William
Something with 'K'. I don't remember, actually.
Renée asks Mary for the keys of the storeroom but she refuses. But after requesting for a long time, Mary agrees.
Renée opens the storeroom, it is dark and filled with dust and spider webs. When she turns off the lights, she sees pictures of her mother's childhood hanging on the wall. Her jewelry, her clothes, everything is still in its place.
Renée takes her mother's picture in her hands and starts crying. The state of the room reflects how abandoned Kate is in this family. Nobody cares about her here.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I'm sorry, mom. I didn't know that you were so close to me. I'm sorry.
While Renée is crying on the floor, someone enters in the room and puts a hand on Renée's shoulder. It is Bella.
Bella hugs Renée and comforts her.
Abella William
You should have told me that you are aunt Kate's daughter.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I didn't even know that you guys are her family. Trust me.
Abella William
I do trust you. But don't tell this to anyone here. No one will let you stay in the palace, even for a second.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
But Raféal knows. He is the one who told me.
Abella William
Ok, I'll talk to him. But be careful of grandma.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
What did my mom do so wrong that you guys hate her so much? [Crying]
Bella starts telling her about the past.
Kate eloped with Leonardo because they wanted to get married but Elizabeth disagreed. It caused a lot of humiliation to the Williams because her marriage was already fixed with a noble.
Elizabeth disowned Kate and closed all the doors for her comeback by cutting all the ties.
Kate and Leonardo came back to William Palace with a little boy. David gave them permission to come inside. Elizabeth humiliated them and threw them out. Nobody supported them except John and Megan.
Abella William
This is all I've heard from my mom. Except Rose and Jack, everybody knows about this.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
My family never told me the truth. They didn't even tell me about you guys. Why did they do this to me? [Crying]
Renée cries while hugging Bella.
