Chapter 04
Abella William
Are you okay now?
Abella William
Is aunt Kate really...
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Yes, when I was 5.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
It's okay. By the way, who is Megan?
Abella William
Megan is Raféal's mother.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Then who is aunt Lisa?
Abella William
She is his stepmother. His mother left him and his father on his birthday when he was just 10. Since then, he has never celebrated his birthday.
That's why he acted like that yesterday.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
If I knew, I wouldn't have done that.
Abella William
You have to remember my words, don't talk to anyone about this matter, specially with Rose and Jack. They can't keep anything to themselves.
You got it?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Yeah, I'll remember this.
Bella comes to talk about Renée.
Abella William
Raféal, she is innocent. Don't be harsh on her.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Did she brainwash you as well?
Abella William
Like seriously.
If she knew about this, she would have gone to her mother's room earlier. But she just found out yesterday. She was really heartbroken to see how we treat her mother.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Her mother deserves this.
Abella William
She is dead, Raféal. Behave yourself.
What has she done so wrong? She just loved someone. And you know how cruel grandma is.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Don't be absurd.
Abella William
Well, you will surely take her side, because you are her favourite grandson.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Why are you taking Renée's side?
Abella William
Why not? She came to our palace and made grandpa healthy. She took care of everyone's health. She became the cheerful sibling to Rose and Jack, which we couldn't be. She became my that friend who understands me and supports my thoughts.
Abella William
And if you have noticed, you could tell that she has become the reason why you stay normal and for the first time you spent a month with us in this palace.
Still, if you think she came here to hurt us, then check your brain.
Saying this, Bella walks out of the room.
■...In The Livingroom...■
Everyone is sitting on the sofa. Renée can't even look at Raféal. Her eyes are red and swollen.
Roselie William
Are you okay, sister Renée? Why are your eyes so red?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
It's just an infection.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
●Did she cry all the time?●
David William
Everyone, we're going to Palace Ivanná tomorrow. We are going to celebrate Elizabeth's birthday there which is going to be a huge celebration.
Elizabeth William
So, get ready for tomorrow's celebration.
■...In Raféal's Bedroom...■
Renée comes to Raféal's room.
Raféal is sitting on his couch and using his phone. He doesn't even look at Renée. Renée goes to Raféal and stands in front of him.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I... I wanted to say that, I'm... I'm sorry for yesterday. I didn't know that you would be hurt by this.
I'm sorry that I hurt you. I know that you hate me but don't hate my mom.
A lone tear falls from her eyes and her voice starts cracking.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I came to make a request, please don't tell anyone who I am to anyone.
I will just celebrate my first and last function with you guys and after that, I will leave the country.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I won't trouble you or your family after this. Just this time, I promise.
Renée leaves the room.
Raféal didn't even say anything or look at her. Her tears terribly hurt him. He feels uncomfortable. He takes out a book and opens it. He takes out a picture and a letter from that.
Even after throwing the letter last night, he kept it in the book like a treasure.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
What are you doing to me? Is it guilt?
Your words, your actions are affecting me so much. I can't even throw you out of my life now.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
I should control myself and I shouldn't repeat the past. It's better if she leaves from here.
■...In Renée's Bedroom...■
Renée takes out her parents' picture.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I thought when I met your family, they would be happy to see me and I would know more about you.
But your family... They don't even want to mention your name.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
How can they be so cruel to you? Did they ever love you? Why do they hate you so much?
Renée's tears start falling when she starts remembering the condition of her mother's room.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
But a good thing happened, I saw your childhood pictures. You were always so pretty.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
And I also recognised those who hurt and hate you. I thought, I can find another family but it seems like they hate me as well.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Nobody ever told me the truth. Whenever I asked something, they always lied to me.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
But I don't blame them. Maybe they thought I would not understand your love. But trust me, mom. Nothing changed in me. I still love you and dad, maybe more.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
But I wish you were with me right now. I miss you, mom. Goodnight.
Raféal and Renée both ignore each other. Raféal keeps the request by not telling anyone about Renée.
Raféal is checking everything at the last moment. All guests have arrived. After a few moments, the Williams starts coming except Renée and Bella.
Raféal's eyes are looking for just one person and she is Renée. But he couldn't find her anywhere.
Jackson William
Are you looking for someone?
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Where are Bella and doctor?
Jackson William
Sister Bella had some problem with her dress. So, she and sister Renée will come later.
Raféal starts greeting with the guests. After a while, everyone starts looking at the entrance. Some beautiful ladies have arrived at the party.
Raféal looks at that sight and it's Renée and Bella. Renée is looking drop-dead gorgeous.
Raféal's jaw drops by her beauty.
Roselie William
Sister Renée is looking so beautiful, right?
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Yeah. [Mesmerized]
Renée and Bella go to Rose and Jack.
Jackson William
You are looking pretty, sister Renée.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Well, the credit goes to sister Bella. She is a wonderful stylist.
Abella William
That's my pleasure, pretty lady. [Smiles]
The ceremony starts with ball dance.
While dancing, everyone is changing their partners. Like this, Renée comes to Raféal.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Thank you, you kept my request. And don't worry, I will leave after the function.
Before Raféal can say anything, the partners swap again.
After that, the photographer calls the Williams for a family picture. Everyone stands for the picture except Renée.
David William
Renée, come on the stage.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
No, I'm okay here. It's a family picture, after all.
Abella William
You are also family.
Roselie William
Yeah, come on.
Renée is just looking at Raféal. The eyes of Renée are asking him, 'Can I?'
Raféal tries, tries hard to control himself but in the end, he comes forward and extends his hand to Renée.
Raféal can't take his eyes from her eyes. His eyes are empty but it becomes a source of hope for Renée and she takes his hand.
They stand side by side and take the family picture.
...............................................................
After the photography, they cut the cake and the final ceremony starts with music.
Everyone steps on the floor and they start dancing.
Everyone is enjoying. Suddenly, Renée remembers that she has to leave now.
She wants to see everyone for the last time, she steps back and gets emotional. Suddenly, she notices that the chandelier is about to break at any time. And the person who is under it is Elizabeth.
Renée screams her name but because of the music, no one is listening to her.
Unable to understand what to do Renée runs towards Elizabeth. When the chandelier is about to fall on Elizabeth, Renée pushes her away.
But the chandler falls on Renée. Her legs get stuck under the chandelier. She screams in pain.
Everyone comes to Renée. Raféal rushes towards her and carefully takes the chandelier off her legs.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Are you okay? Oh God.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
No, it's painful. [In Pain]
Raféal takes her in his arms and starts taking her upstairs. Bella follows them but everyone stays downstairs.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Call the doctor immediately. FAST.
■...Guest Room in Palace...■
Raféal places her on the bed and tries to keep her calm.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Just hold on a second, okay. The doctor is coming.
Raféal starts panicking. He can't understand what to do.
The doctor comes and checks her condition.
Doctor of MGH
It looks like the patient's left leg is very injured. But the right one is just scratched. I will start the treatment. You should go outside.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
What do you mean by outside? Look at her she is injured. I can't leave her like this.
Doctor of MGH
I'm just telling you to wait outside. Are you her husband?
Doctor of MGH
Then please, go out.
Abella William
Raféal, you should go. I will stay with her.
Doctor of MGH
That's alright.
Raféal waits outside. When Renée screams in pain. He just wants to open the door and go inside. But he controls himself outside.
The doctor comes out after 45 minutes and gives Raféal the prescription.
Doctor of MGH
Her legs are really injured. A little pressure can start the blood flow. Don't let her walk. She has to rest for at least 1 month.
Don't worry, the wounds won't leave any scars. Give her medicine on time and take care of her.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Thank you, doctor.
Raféal goes inside the room.
Renée is lying on the bed where her one leg is fully bandaged.
Abella William
Give me the prescription, I will tell someone to bring them.
Bella goes downstairs. Renée and Raféal are alone in the room.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Is it still hurting?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Yes, I'm okay. I had painkillers. I'm sorry that I can't leave today.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I know you hate me so much that you can't tolerate me anymore.
But I'll leave tomorrow. Rest assured.
Renée's words hit Renée like a knife. He just stands there like helpless.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Don't leave.
I mean, you can't leave. The doctor said you can't travel for one month.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
But why?
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Your wounds are deep. They will need time to heal. You can't even walk in the meantime.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
But I have to leave.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Just stop being stubborn.
I told you to leave right. Now I'm telling you to stay. So, please don't argue.
Raféal wants Renée to say, but he can't understand why, is it out of guilt or something else.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
The hatred in your eyes won't let me stay here. It's better I leave from here.
Seeing her tears, Raféal is about to say something. But others enter into the room, which intruptes his word.
Elizabeth William
Are you okay, Renée?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Yes, Your Majesty. I'm fine.
Elizabeth William
Just call me grandma. You don't need to be formal.
Renée becomes surprised to hear something like this from Elizabeth.
Elizabeth William
Thank you so much. You saved my life.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I had to.
Elizabeth William
What did the doctor say?
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
She has to take rest for a month.
Elizabeth William
Okay, then now we will take care of you in this one month.
You have to take full rest. Tomorrow, after the doctors check-up, we will shift you in the palace.
David William
Take care, sweetie.
Abella William
I'll stay with her.
Elizabeth William
Ok. Let's go, Raféal.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
I will stay as well. We can't leave two ladies alone in the palace.
David William
Okay then. You guys stay. Inform us if something happens.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Okay, grandpa.
Everyone leaves for William Palace except Raféal, Renée and Bella.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
I'll be in the next room. Call me if you need something.
Abella William
We will, goodnight.
Raféal goes to her room.
Because Renée's bed is full of blood. Renée tells Bella to sleep in another room and she goes.
Raféal is lying on the bed but he can't fall asleep.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
📞 Hello, check all the CCTV footage. And tell who is behind today's act.
Noah Urrea
📞 I'm on it. I'll tell you tomorrow.
Suddenly, Raféal hears the sound of glass breaking.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
📞 I'll call you later.
Raféal goes and goes to Renée's room to check.
■...Guest Room in Palace...■
Raféal opens the door and sees that Renée might want to drink water but the glass slipped on the floor.
Raféal takes another glass and pours water and gives it to Renée.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Didn't I tell you to call me if you need something.
Don't you have my number?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
No, I don't.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Give me your phone.
Raféal takes her phone and adds his number into it.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Next time call me.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Why are you doing this?
You don't need to pretend. I know you don't want me to be here. And I'm sorry about that.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
I'm not pretending. I came here because I...
I'm grateful to you for saving my grandma's life.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
So, you are repaying a favour.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
As you think.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Grandma requested you to stay. So, I also want you to stay, you don't need to be bothered by me.
And rest assured, I won't tell anyone about you and your mother.
Renée wants to but can't say anything because she knows if she talks, she might cry.
Raféal just stares at Renée for a moment and then leaves from there.
Raféal, Renée and Bella have their breakfast and leave for William Palace.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
What is special about Palace Ivanná?
Abella William
It was the 1st royal family home for Ivanná royals.
But when grandpa became the king, he made William Palace and royalties moved there.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Nowadays, Palace Ivanná is used for celebration. That means anything related to the King and Queen will be celebrated there.
Abella William
Grandma is the queen. So, that's why her birthday was celebrated here.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Well, you guys are elite. You even have a whole palace for birthday, cool.
Abella William
You are also one of us.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
That's not true.
Raféal just looks at Renée. But can't say anything. He understands that Renée is saying this because of him.
■...At William Palace...■
■...In Renée's Bedroom...■
Raféal goes to Renée's room and checks her medicine.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Have you taken your medicine?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I did.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
How is the pain now?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
It reduced. I'm much better.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
I'm again saying it, if you need something call me.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Thank you, you don't need to be bothered by me. Think that I don't exist here.
Renée's continues tauntful word makes Raféal irritated.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Ok, I got it.
I'm sorry that I misbehaved with you. I told you to leave.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
But that time, I was furious for the birthday party. So, please stay here until you are not fully recovered.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I just want to know one thing, do you hate me?
Raféal becomes surprised because of Renée's question. He doesn't understand what to say.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Good night.
Saying this Raféal leaves from the room.
■...In Raféal's Bedroom...■
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
I myself don't even know myself if I hate you or not.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
When you smile, I feel good.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
When you were hurt, I also felt the pain.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
When you screamed in pain, I wanted to give you comfort.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
When you were in danger, I was worried about you.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
I wanted to protect you.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
I know I shouldn't but I can't help it. What did you do to me that I feel so helpless.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Your smile, your touch, your voice, everything is taking over my mind. Every day, I can't think about anything other than you.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Maybe I'm so weak to hate you.
A baby is on a cradle and a little boy is standing beside it.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Hey, baby. You are so beautiful, like a fairy.
[4 years old]
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Will you go to my palace? I have a lot of toys. We can play together. [4 years old]
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Will you be my friend, Rén? [4 years old]
The baby touches Raféal's hand.
Raféal takes out a picture from his book.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
My friend, Rén.
■...In Renée's Bedroom...■
Raféal comes with Mary to bring Renée her breakfast.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Every day, Miss Mary will bring your meals in your room.
If you want to eat something tell her, she will cook it for you.
Mary (Head Maid)
Sure, sir.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
You can leave now.
Mary leaves the room. Raféal helps Renée to sit and adjusts her position.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
After you finish the meal, don't forget to take your medicine. Take care.
Saying this Raféal is about to leave, but...
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Raféal.
Raféal stops and turns around.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Thank you. [Smile]
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
You are welcome.
Raféal leaves the room and goes to his office with a happy mood.
Bella, Rose and Jack are sitting with Renée. They are entertaining her so that she doesn't feel bored in her room.
Jackson William
You are so brave, sister Renée.
Roselie William
Just like you saved grandma, it felt like you were superwoman.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Really. [Laugh]
Jackson William
And then, when brother Raféal picked you and called for the doctor. It looked like a movie scene.
Roselie William
Yeah, a romantic scene.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Don't be absurd, I don't think so.
Abella William
He might look tough but he is not that bad.
When you were injured, he was really worried about you.
Renée starts recalling how Raféal took care of her for the last 3 days.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
●Then why did he say that he hates me?●
■...In Renée's Bedroom...■
Raféal comes from the office and goes to Renée's room to check on her.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Had your meal and medicine?
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Okay, then, goodnight.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Raféal.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Yes.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I'm really bored in this room. Can you take me to the terrace? I want some fresh air.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Of course.
Raféal picks her up and they go to the terrace.
