Raphael kept on investigating more about Drake since he found out his sister was pregnant with his child. Though he found it a little weird when he saw them at the restaurant that fateful day, he never expected it to end this way.
He therefore changed his plans on tormenting his sister who he hated so much, to tormenting Drake. First, he would try to break their relationship by telling Drake that his sister was a slut who didn't even care about him but only his money.
Next, he would tell him that his sister has had sexual relations with many men, which could mean that he was not the father of the child. As he kept on making those evil plans, something more better formed in his head. He would also try to make his sister think that Drake was cheating on her.
He would hire a prostitute to do that for him, by seducing Drake to sleep with her. He gave a loud wicked laugh at that thought and proceeded to make it part of his plans. What he didn't know was that his maid Mrs. Helena, passing by his office heard his laugh then knew he was planning something evil.
When it comes to evil plans, no one can say that Raphael was acquainted, for ever since he started working in his father's company, he was never the little gentle kid she knew. The little boy she nursed when he was given birth to. The little boy she fed in the absence of his mother. The little boy she treated whenever he was injured, has become the devil in the family because of money.
She couldn't even discern between the man he has become today and the boy he was yesterday. She felt slightly disappointed at what money had made him become. How could he change so easily by a single paper, a paper which when he dies, he won't be buried with.
This made her believe that money really is the root of all evil. Money has made her precious boy become this wicked man, which she couldn't even look straight into his face anymore.
She commemorated when her husband left her because she was so engrossed in taking care of someone else's child, instead of having her own with him. Just the remembrance of this brought tears into her eyes, tears which she had been keeping for years now began to flow. She retreated from going to inform Raphael that she was done for the day, and instead just left the house with her tears still flowing down her cheeks.

"I climb every mountain, and swim every ocean.
Just to be with you, and fix what I've broken
All because I need you to see that you are the reason". Drake sang to Jessica to put her to sleep. He was quite happy because he just proved to her that he could sing, and not just any song, but her star Callum Scott's song.
He had once again failed to ask what he had been craving to do for the past few days now. Every time he tried he felt nervous, not knowing why. But he guesses it's because he had never lived with a woman before. He sighed from thinking too much.
"May I know what is bordering you" Jessica asked slowly, opening her eyes with a smile.
"I thought you were asleep".
"How could I sleep when you are fretting about something". she said sitting up. "Now tell me, what is making you feel sleepless". she asked once again. Drake hesitated at first because he could feel his nervous spirit waking up again, but decided to give it a try and see what her answer would be.
"Jessica, I...I.. would like for you to live with me". he said and looked down at his sweaty hands. He wanted to rub them together to stop this heating sensation building up in him but didn't want her to see that he was nervous.
Jessica was speechless, she didn't know how to reply. She had lived with her father and brother before, but never had she lived with any other man apart from them. She looked at him as his head was still bowed down, and thought that would be a great idea since it would bring them closer after her delivery.
She smiled at him "Nothing will make me much happier than that".Drake raised his head looking at her to see if it was a joke, but when he saw that assuring smile of hers, those tantalising eyes and those cute little pink lips, what else did he need from her to prove it.
Without warning, he leaned forward and gave her the deepest kiss he had ever given her in the five months of their relationship. He couldn't control the sudden burst of happiness that came out of him. Could he love this woman even more? This woman who had given him happiness, who had given him the best and took the worst.

Drake drove home happily as he couldn't stop thinking of how happy he would be when Jessica comes to live with him. He even asked Santo how it would be like when you wake up and see the moon by your side on the bed. His thoughts got interrupted by the sudden flash on his phone, which angered him until he saw the caller before he calmed down.
"Hello son, it seems you are starting to forget about me". Niel said sadly.
"Oh please dad, do not say that. You know I could never forget you. I have just been busy taking care of the company, and you know, my future wife".
Oh, didn't know you two were engaged, I guess have really been missing a lot then lately".
"Hahahaha no dad, we are not engaged, but we will be because I won't rest till I make her my wife someday". he confessed.
