Chapter 45: Don't Think They Know
Raphael's POV
As soon as I saw Aries drive off, I immedaitely regretted it. I felt something form in my stomach, the feeling I usually got when I felt something bad about to occur.
I walked into Damon's hospital room and sat down in a near by chair. He seemed kind of scared because his eye practically bulged out of his head. "Hey," I whisper, nodding my head as he bit the corner of his lip slowly. "Hey," He replied in the same monotone. "Look, I'm not angry with you. I appreciate that you care about Aries as much as you do. I just want to know...what you know." I inquire and he shifts in his bed as I scoot myself closer to him and he sighs, looking down at his fingers.
"They aren't going to stop. Ever. Especially Cameron, he's so obsessed with her. He wants to marry her and have kids and then when his personality flips, he want's to rape her and hear her scream and sell her off." Damon whispers and I look at him intently. "Flips personalities?" I echo and he nods, "It's so lethal. He literally yells at himself an will punch himself in the face and then burst into random laughter. He's scary as hell..." Damon shudders, probably recalling some recent events involving Cameron.
"What about her family?" I ask, feeling myself getting angered, wanting to attack Cameron.
"Her mother shows some remorse for what happened, I think she was at the point where, she couldn't control her kids. As kids, she could because they were easy to influence but now they are doing their own dirty work for their own purposes. It's out of her reach which I don't think was part of the play. Her father is absolutely horrendous. He doesn't care about anything that's happening, at this point he would prefer Aries dead, rather than alive. She's simply an obstacle now. Cody and Patrick are irrelvant. They're back in California just holding things down. Blaine doesnt really know what he's doing. Keegan and Emily are primarily there for revenge. The whole Merchant family believes that Aries can stop everything. She ran away from home, it's treason to them. She can make everything unravel. Haley surprised me with how she really was. I didnt know she had HIV and was pregnant." His voice trails off and I feel the pain set in on me.
Poor Angel, basically having everyone you know turn against you. Your family. Everything you ever loved just being ripped away from you when all you wanted to do was make things better. You tried but everyone was too arrogant to realize, she wasn't doing it out of spite or to do it for herself, she wanted her entire family to genuinally have a better life.
"There' something else about Cameron..." Damon adds and I look up at him.
"What?" I ask slowly and he bites the corner of his lip and sits back. "Cameron want's to be tied to Aries in all ways...so he figured...maybe if I knock up her sister, then maybe she'll come back," He mumbles and my eyes widen.
"So Haley is pregnant with Cameron's baby?" This was so messed up and he nods.
"So what's their motive? What's the plan with all of that?" I add and he shrugs, "They want to get rid of Aries, Haley...and now you. I know I'm still on their radar but as long as I'm in here, I'm safe." Damon says almost sadly.
"Is there any incrimminating evidence?" I ask and he shakes his head.
"Aries is all they need. Plus with Haley as their advantage." Damon mumbles and I stand to my feet. "Thanks, I have to go find her." I say and he stops me. "Raphael," He calls and I look back at him, "Thank's for being good to my little minx. You're good for each other." He says with a genuine smile and I give him a sincere smile.
"Thanks." I mutter back and slip through the door.
I take out my keys and move swiftly outside, the November air hitting me like a bucket of cold ice, as soon as I walk out, I see someone familiar. "Mr. Carter?" It's Rayleen's husband, Elliot.
"Rayleen told me to get you, there's been an accident." He rushes out. Elliot was about the same height as me, with brown hair and brown eyes.
He had a very athletic structure, probably from playing baseball.
"What do you mean?" I ask panicking. The only thing I could even think about was Aries, where was she? Was she okay?
"Aries and Haley were hit with two cars and tumbled down a hill. The whole highway has been blocked off." Elliot tells me and I stuff my keys back in my pocket.
I slide into his BMW and he starts the car. "Where's Rayleen?" I ask and feel the car back up and swerve around. He was speeding down the highway.
"She's on the other side of the highway and can't get over here." He explained and I felt my heart begin to race faster.
I was now scared out of my mind for what was actually going on...what had happened to her.
"Are they okay?" I finaly ask and he looks at me slowly. "We don't know yet. Apparently it was a double hit collision. One from the back and another from the side. But that's all I know. It's all over the news." He informs me and I feel suddenly very sick to my stomach.
I groan and put my hands in my face, "Man, don't worry, they'll both be fine."
I finally felt as though I had reached my breaking point. "No, no, no. We don't know that! I swear if Angel doesn't make it...I dont know what the fuck I'm going to do. She's carrying my child man! My baby that could have a better life than her and I ever had. We could give our child an actual life. I need her. With her, I feel like a new person. I feel like that no matter how fucked up I really am..." I stop and grip my face.
"No matter how fucked up you really are...they make you feel...normal..even if all your life...you felt...fucked up. Were fucked up." Elliot finishes for me and I stare at him. "I know what it's like. To feel alone and like something was wrong with you. You aren't. I know Aries made you realize that too." He says slowly and all I can do is stare.
"She's going to be okay." He says strongly, as if he knew. He had a completely clue.
But how could he be so sure?
We're silent for a moment and I look ahead of us to see it blocked off by reporters and police officer. Elliot drives to the corner and I hop out, charging directly for the crash scene.
Reporters clouded me, attacking me with questions.
"Raphael, do you know that your Mistress was in a car accident?"
"Raphael, where is the whereabouts of your wife, Brooklyn?"
"Raphael, is it true you impregnanted both Roselyn Merchant and Brooklyn?"
Before I say anything, I feel Elliot's hand on my shoulder and he pulls me back, "They don't know about you and Aries. Let them talk about what they don't know." Elliot says and I swallow hard and nod at him, my eyes being blinded by the flash of cameras.
I push away from the reporters and walk through them, letting them ask all the questions they wanted.
"Raphael, is it true Roselyn Merchant tried to murder you as a child?"
They don't know about us.
"Raphael, is it true your family had ties with the Merchant family?"
They're going to talk regradless, but they don't know.
"Raphael, does Roselyn know about the situation involving your first modeling contract?"
That question did hit me...but they didn't know about anything. They had no clue. That was something Aries didn't know and I would break it to her eventually...if she was alive.
Damnit Raphael! Stop thinking so negatively.
I continued to push through the reporters until I came face to face with a police officer. "Sir, you can't pass, this is a police investigation." He says with a deep, groggily voice.
I wanted to scream that, my fiance was in a car accident but that would only fuel the fire for the tabloids.
"What do you mean a police investigation? What happened? Are there any survivors?" I ask, trying to look behind him.
"The other two cars are empty and Haley Merchant has been retrieved but is under critical condition." He explains and my heart dropped.
"Where's Roselyn? Got damnit, where is Aries!" I scream and feel Elliot pull my shoulders back.
"I'm sorry Sir...but Roselyn Merchant is no where to be found. Her body is nowhere near the crime scene. She has been persumed missing."
