No one could ever be as whipped and love struck as Rafael. He's like a tail attached to Tatiana, he would always follow her like a fool. Everywhere she goes, he will be there as well.
She didn't like him at first. He's a Montefalco, and Montefalco boys are known for being a playboy and womanizer. She was an intelligent girl, always on top of the class. Very nerdy with her thick glasses—which of course Rafael finds sexy. During high school, he would always be seen at the classroom where she was even though he's not from the same section as her. He sits next to her, looking at her with his eyes so euphoric. She would fake a flu just to make him go away but of course he wouldn't care. In college he found out she transferred to a different school in a different city. He was so heartbroken he drank his ass off at the bar. Azrael was laughing as he watch him cry while murmuring her name.
He became a playboy that time, he changed girls like how he changed clothes. He's become a party goer, drinking, smoking, and he even had a tattoo on his chest. Gone is the soft innocent looking boy, he's now matured a lot. Hotter and masculine than ever. He did all that to forget her, but he didn't. She lingered in his mind like a leech. He would stalk her social media accounts on a daily basis and when he found an opportunity, he grabbed it immediately. He heard she just enrolled in a law school in Manila, so he also enrolled there the next day. Like the old days, he pursued her again. He did everything to please her, he even had to study a lot so she wouldn't think he's stupid and unworthy of her despite him being an academic achiever as well. Eventually, she gave him a chance until he finally got her. She introduced him to her family after their first year of being in a relationship. Her family loved him. It's Christmas Eve and the Montefalco cousins are having a party exclusive only for them and their partners. But the thing is, Tatiana was the only one uninvited despite her being Rafael's girlfriend. "It's unfair, man. Her family accepted me but mine couldn't." He told them, Azrael was handing him a shot glass. Chanel and the other girls are still bitter about the past. They really hate her.
