“This is crazy,” said Rachel. “What started the fire?”

“I don’t know but it started from the kitchen,” replied Taylor. “Look, we will get into all of that later, but right now, we need to get out of here fast.”

He opened one of the windows and looked down to see where they would land if they managed to jump down. Taylor heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the window opened to Rosemary’s flower garden.

“I guess we’ll have some soft landing down there even if it means killing some of Rosemary’s precious flowers,” he said. “We can tie some bedsheets together and fasten it to the bedpost and then we use it as a rope to get us down.”

Elaine was already on it, ripping the bedsheet off the mattress and twisting it to form a rope, while Taylor rummaged through Rosemary’s wardrobe to find another bedsheet to link with it. Once the bedsheets were tied together and secured to the bedpost, Elaine climbed out through the window while holding onto their makeshift escape rope, and she let herse

    “Morning, Miss Lane, Mr. Fraser,” greeted the middle-aged doctor. “I reckon you’ll have to inform your bodyguard that doctors have all access to see their patients whenever needed.”“Of course,” said Derek with an apologetic smile. “I’ll let him know.”“Great. I’m Doctor Kelly, by the way. It’s good to see that you’re awake now, Miss Lane. How are you feeling?”“Tired,” she replied.“That’s normal. How’s your breathing?”“Ok. I think I feel pretty good now,” she said confidently. “When can I leave?”“For now, we’ll place you on observation just to make sure that you are truly ok, and if your vitals remain steady for the rest of the day, you’ll be discharged this time tomorrow. How’s that?”She shrugged. “Sounds good to me.”“Awesome. I’ll send in a nurse to check your vitals and update your chart. The breakfast menu is on the bedstand, so feel free to let her know what you’ll be having and it will be sent up right away.”“Thank you,” she smiled.“We could swap that hospital meal for s

    “Your wish is my command,” he whispered in her ear before turning her around to face the wall, then with one hand, he pinned both of hers on the wall and lifted her hips with the other hand so that he could enter her from behind. She was already wet and slippery, making his entry smooth and insanely sweet.Rachel’s boobs were pressed against the tiled wall and her hard nipples grazed the cold surface with each thrust Derek pumped into her. He reached forward and slid his forefinger between her legs, stroking her clit as he pummeled her from behind.“Oh! Please, don’t stop!” She begged.“I don’t plan to,” he replied, picking up the pace of his thrusts. It was as if his hips were on auto mode, moving of their own volition without any effort from him.She matched his rhythm, moving her ass back and forth, eager to reach the peak but also wishing that this moment would not end. Derek released her hands and cupped one of her boobs in his palm while the other one was nestled against his arm

    “So, it’s true,” said Cassie. “Derek did stash you here like a dirty little secret.”It took Rachel a moment to recover from her surprise and find her voice. “I beg your pardon?”Cassie pushed past her and entered the penthouse without waiting for an invitation. She was dressed in a figure-hugging red dress that stopped just below her small bum, her hair was pulled back in a sleek ponytail and her lipstick and 4-inch heels sandals matched her outfit.Zoe came out of the kitchen and when she saw Cassie, she lifted her hand and waved hello.“Aw… what a cutie,” she said and waved back.“Honey, go back into the kitchen. Mommy will be right there, ok?” Said Rachel.Zoe obeyed her and returned to the kitchen.“You didn’t have to send her away,” Cassie complained with an exaggerated pout. “She’s a better hostess than you are being right now. Aren’t you going to offer me a seat? Or a drink at least.”“I don’t know what you came here for and I am not interested in knowing either,” said Rachel

    Despite her insistence on going out alone, Frank refused to let her out of his sight and stubbornly insisted on driving her to her destination. Tired of arguing with the giant of a man, Rachel finally gave in and told him to take her to Derek’s office.They drove there in Derek’s white Bentley and when they arrived at his office building, Rachel told Frank to wait for her at the reception area.“Hi, I’m here to see Mr. Fraser,” Rachel informed the receptionist.“Hi, do you have an appointment with him?”“Come on, Cheryl. Don’t you recognize me?”Cheryl was surprised. “I – I don’t think so.”Rachel rolled her eyes. “I am Rachel Lane and the last time we met here was about two years ago when you wouldn’t let me in and I ended up running into Derek at the parking lot and then we came back inside together. Does that jog your memory?”“Oh, oh yes! I remember you now,” said Cheryl with wide eyes. “You look… different,” she added.“I hope in a good way?” Rachel grinned.“Of course. You look

    “No, what’s the point? I know why she has been doing it and I’m not sure she’ll have anything new to share with Yasmin anymore.”“Today’s episode is definitely something worth sharing.”Derek chuckled. “Maybe.”“Have you thought about reaching out to Yasmin?”“What for?”“I don’t know, just for the sake of it. Alfred already confirmed everything she told us, so that means she wasn’t lying.”He sighed.“Can you ever find it in your heart to forgive her?” Rachel asked softly.Derek lifted an eyebrow. “For what?”“For abandoning you,” she replied.He sighed again and looked away. When the elevator reached the first floor and swung open, he took her hand in his and led her out of it. Cheryl was beaming like the sun when she saw them together and she waved at Rachel as they left.“I think Cheryl is my number one fan here,” she remarked as Frank and Mark escorted them to the parking lot.“Nope. She’s number two,” said Derek.“Who’s number one?” She asked.“Me,” he said with a grin and follo

    Yasmin chuckled. “Rachel is a genius,” she said. “She’s the real deal, Derek. She’s a keeper.”“I still can’t believe that you’re here,” he said in wonder. “I feel as if I am dreaming.”“So do I,” she admitted. “Derek, I am so sorry for everything. I am sorry I didn’t give you a chance to get to know me but instead allowed your father to drive a wedge between us. I am not trying to paint your father as the bad guy because if I’m being honest, I also share in the blame. I am so sorry for abandoning you and letting you mourn my fake death while I lived my best life somewhere else.”“I didn’t have time to mourn you,” he confessed. “I was so angry at you and I drowned myself in work.”“I am so sorry,” she said again, crying openly. “I am so, so sorry, Derek. Can you ever forgive me?”Seeing his mother cry and express so much remorse broke something inside of him. It was as if she had smashed the block of ice that had held his heart in a death grip for years, into tiny pieces. Tears rolled

    Derek went down on one knee in front of Rachel and opened the ring box. Inside it was a dazzling 24 karat gold ring with a large princess-cut white diamond in the middle and tiny crystals encircling the band. It was gloriously beautiful!“Rachel Lane, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?” Derek asked her with stars in his eyes. “Will you marry me?”“Yes!” She replied instantly without hesitation, sinking to her knees and hugging him fiercely. “Yes, yes, and yes!”The room erupted in a joyous cheer, applauding the touching scene.“That’s not how it’s done,” Derek laughed through his happy tears. “You’re supposed to stick out your hand and let me put the ring on your finger.”“Who cares about how it’s done? This is how we do it,” she replied happily. “Now put that ginormous ring where it belongs.”She stretched out her left hand and he slipped the ring on her finger, sending their guests into another round of celebration.“I wish Zoe was here to witness this,” he said.“Bedtime

    Just as Derek had predicted, Alfred was beyond ecstatic when they informed him of Rachel’s wish to be married at Rickman Manor.“What an honor!” He exclaimed happily. “What joy!”“Stop being so dramatic, Uncle Alfred. It’s just a wedding,” said Derek.“Uh-huh, Derek. It’s not a wedding, it’s the wedding,” said Taylor and he got a high five from Rob who yelled, “Dang right, it is!”Everyone laughed. They were sitting at a long dining table that had been set up by the hotel in the banquet hall where they’d had Derek’s birthday party last night. It was the only place that could contain the large family consisting of Rachel’s folks, Jonah and his family, and Uncle Alfred. Diane and the other guests had checked out of the hotel earlier after having breakfast in their rooms.This late breakfast was for family only and that included Elaine who was sitting beside Zoe and making sure the toddler was cared for while the adults joked and chatted playfully.“I am so happy for you two,” said Rosem

    “This can’t be happening,” Derek muttered incredulously after a frightened Elaine came to announce to him that Rachel had been abducted at knife-point by Sam. “Oh, God! What have I done?” Yasmin wailed. “Calm down, Mom. I’ll call the security guys at the gate right away,” said Derek briskly. “He can’t have gone very far with her, so we can still find them.” “We should call the police too,” Elaine suggested. “What’s their emergency number here?” “Where the heck is that ambulance?” Yasmin demanded irritably. “Javier has slipped into unconsciousness. He needs to be taken to the hospital immediately.” As they scrambled around the house to make phone calls from different phones, Zoe who was now awake, walked across the room and placed her favorite stuffed toy, Binky, on Javier’s chest. “Don’t be scared, Binky is going to help you,” she whispered to the unconscious chef. Just then, they heard the wails of an ambulance siren as it sped through the driveway. “Finally!” Said Yasmin, thr

    A loud crash woke Rachel up and her eyes flew open with alarm. She could tell instantly that something was wrong.“What was that?” Derek asked groggily.“You heard it too? It sounded like something breaking,” she said and began to get out of bed.“No, you stay here and I’ll go and check it out,” said Derek, getting out of bed.“You go to the kitchen and I’ll go and check on Zoe and Elaine.”They quickly put on their dressing robes and ran out of the room to investigate the strange noise and make sure that the other occupants of the house were ok.Rachel was relieved when she was that both Elaine and Zoe were still asleep in their room and they hadn’t been disturbed by the crash that woke her up. She quietly closed their bedroom door and moved to Yasmin’s door, but as she raised her hand to knock on it, Derek showed up with a barely conscious Javier leaning on him. The chef’s head was bloody and he looked dazed.“Oh, my God! What happened to him?” Rachel asked, hurrying over to the hal

    Once they were done with lunch, there was unanimous agreement that everyone should take a stroll to the beach to walk off that hefty meal.“I don’t think I’m going to eat anything else today because that was a loaded lunch,” said Rachel, suppressing a belch.“Yeah, maybe,” said Derek with a smile.They were walking hand-in-hand past the tall palm trees that lined the property and went all the way to the beach. There were some large rocks on the other end of the beach and it looked like a nice hideout where they could get a little bit of intimacy away from the rest of the group.“How about we go over there and check out what’s behind that rock?” She asked, pointing toward the distance. “Just you and me.”“Sure, why not?”“We’re going back inside,” Elaine announced. “Zoe is long overdue for her nap and she’s getting restless.”“Aww, poor baby,” said Rachel, bending down to stroke Zoe’s blonde curls.“No nap,” she said drowsily while yawning and rubbing her eyes. However, she didn’t resi

    “There you are!” She exclaimed when she found him standing by the pool, staring off into the distance. “Are you ok?”“Yes,” he said and smiled at her. “I have never felt this much peace in my life.”“Aww, I’m glad you feel that way,” she said, embracing him.“Come on, let’s go inside and see what Elaine and Zoe are up to. The island manager will be sending in our private chef later today. In the meantime, I’m sure we can make do with whatever is in the kitchen for now.”“I don’t think anyone is hungry yet. This place is too good for you to think about eating.”“Zoe may not agree with you,” he said with a grin. “My daughter is a certified foodie.”“She got it from her momma,” said Rachel.“I’m not going to argue with that,” said Derek and he received an elbow jab in the ribs from his wife.They found Zoe and her nanny in the cinema room watching Moana. Derek and Rachel were immediately captivated by the exciting animation movie, and they too sat down to watch it. When it was over, they

    One month later, Rachel walked down the aisle created in front of Alfred’s gloriously beautiful flower garden, holding a bouquet of white irises that looked like a cluster of clouds over green stems. Her ivory Vera Wang wedding dress was an off-shoulder creation that featured lots of tulles, crystals, and a full skirt that made her look like a Disney princess. Rob struggled not to cry as he walked his little sister down the aisle in his spotless three-piece suit.“I almost can’t believe this is happening,” Rachel whispered excitedly to him.“It’s happening, darling,” he replied in a whisper too. “Your fairy tale happy ending is finally happening and I cannot even begin to tell you just how happy I am for you.”“You’ve told me a gazillion times already and that’s enough,” she said with a chuckle.When they reached where Derek was waiting in front of the minister, Rob hugged his sister tightly and whispered, “I love you.”“I love you more,” Rachel whispered back with misty eyes.After R
