CHAPTER 6
Racheal was rushed to hospital where she spent some days, floating between consciousness.
She went through all the stages of grief in those weeks. Her heart was desperately numb.
When she finally regained consciousness, opened her eyes to a sea of white. She looked around her and realized that she was in a different apartment. She was back in her bedroom.
She couldn't remember the series of events that had brought her here , it could only be that she had been moved here while she had been unconscious.The pain and regret of that night hit her heart again , even more, her whole body was hurting.
she tried to sit up but her body ached so terribly that she had to lean against the headboard of her bed to catch her breath.Rach having been through countless life and death situation, could not help but sighed bitterly as she looked upon the ceiling.
at that moment, the door flew opened and her mother , along side her only friend Susan hurried inside . A look of worry on their faces ."You are not well ! don't try to get up from bed !" Her mother exclaimed , a steamy bowl in her hand as she made her way towards Rachael."It was due to Celebs irresponsible attitude towards me that caused you this. His mockery towards you has no end. he thinks too highly of himself!" Susan exclaimed, her face coloured pink in anger .
"Your dad is so cruel, so desperate! how could he do this to you!" She ranted, her eyes tearing up as her gaze lingered on the palm print on Racheals pale features .
"I disobeyed him , he hurt me in return " Racheals voice came out faint , a painful smile spread across her features.
Her mother looked uncomfortable, she couldn't help but feel everything was her fault , her husband was indeed cruel even to their only daughter, his words were always final, even she dared not disobey him.
The last time she had discussed Rachel's matter with him while she had been unconscious, he had showed no remorse , he had merely glanced at her with a disapproving frown, and had walked away.He seemed to me more upset about his failed business project than the well-being of his family.
she forced herself to breathe through the bitter pain in her chest at her daughter's condition , but she indeed was helpless, she had no way to defend her daughter not herself."My dad wants me to kneel for Celeb and beg him" Rachel's voice cuts through the silence, She gritted her teeth at the humiliation her father gave her.
She bit her lips, her tears streaming down her face as she watched her mom so bitterly, her heart ached very badly as anger rushed through her body in a way that had never happened before.Racheal looked cold without altering any word again as she found it unreasonable to challenge her mom. it wouldn't make any difference.
"Such a cold hearted man, the video of him pushing you is all over the media , he doesn't love you at all , what's the big fuse about getting married to him, he isn't that great , I'm so angry !" Susan fumed.Racheal was about to respond when another figure entered the room. it was Mrs Carolyn.
Caleb's mother .Seeing Rachel's pale face , a gasp escaped the older woman's mouth , she had always liked Rachael and didn't really want to believe her own son would choose that golddigger girlfriend of his over his fiance , his impending marriage to Rachael had been fixed before they both had been born . The friendship between the Williams and the Sterlings has already lasted for several generations , Grandpa Bart had willed this marriage before his death , and it was the only way Caleb could fully inherit the company.
"I'm so sorry for what happened to you dear ! I apologise for my son's behaviour, how do you feel now ?"Chapter Seven"I apologize very much for everything, I could have come earlier but you were not in a condition to receive visitors, I hope you do not blame me? "She touched Rachel's pale face softly, a look of compassion spread across her features.Rachael stared at the older woman. She always regarded her as a daughter, she couldn't fault the older woman for anything."I don't blame anyone. " Her voice was neutral.An awkward silence passed by, Carolyn heaved out a sigh, of course the girl had only said that not to upset her, Caleb had really gone out of the line this time."How do you feel now? Are you still in pain?"Even more than physical injuries, her heart hurt more, but Rachel couldn't begin to tell Carolyn of her mother, in the end, none of them would deeply understand her"I'm better, thank you" Rachel replied in that same monotone voice. Her depressed expression never leaving for once.The room fell in moment
CHAPTER ONE."Dad please, I don't want to get married! don't let me get married."A harsh slap struck at her face made Rachael lose her balance and tumbled to the floored tiles, the blood dripped from a cut on her lips as she stared at the man she called father."Stupid girl! what do you know? I'm marrying you off because that's the only purpose of women like you, you are nothing without a husband by your side! ” Mr. William spat at his daughter, his face red with fury.Mr. William James was a renowned businessman who has worked to build up his company for most of his life, he was middle aged, the edge of his hair grey. he would have looked handsome for a man his age if not for the ugly expression that crawled across his features.Rachael stared pleadingly at her mother who had been staring and watching silently this whole time.As usual, her mother was quiet, she had never questioned her husband's decision."Why do

I will hear no more about it, she is going to get married and that is it !" Mr. William's voice cracked like a whip, he raised a stern index finger at his wife who had always been obedient to him, but now, she seemed to be proving stubborn."She's our only daughter, how can you be so heartless to give her away like that, especially to that ..."Mr. William forcefully stood up, his backhand lashing across Amelia's face.A cry escaped Rachael's mouth as she immediately slide the door open in fear."Don't lay your hands on her, you want me to marry right ?"Rachael stared at her mother who had tears in her eyes before reverting her attention to her father."I will marry him" she completed.Mr. William appeared to be amazed and pleased at her new decision.
CHAPTER THREERachel stared at the five-star restaurant in front of her, nervous and doubtful at the same time, where if not for Susan who was solidly beside her, she would have turned around, set to return home. Her friend's idea was risky, there was only a slight chance that it would not backfire on her, and that would put her in much bigger problems.Creating and fooling both families by creating a huge scandal would make both families have no other choice but to call off the wedding? She was going to do this, even when knowing that it would as well ruin her reputation.The sterlings no matter how close they were with her father would never want their daughter's in-law reputation to be soiledNot only was Racheal planning to fake a sexual assault on herself, but she also knew that if she failed the consequences would be dire.They would have to change their minds about the marriage plans...It wouldn't be her fault
Çhapter 4."Are you blind! can't you watch your steps! " The cold and sinister echoed the restaurant gaining a little attentionCaleb's mouth was set in a grim line as he regarded her as though she was nothing but a spec of dirt.Racheal tried to hide her embarrassment as she staggered to her feet."I'm sorry ! " she breathed out, casting her gaze around, she fixed them on him again."Can I talk to you for a minute?" She whispered.He ignored her and walked past them as though she was invisible. Racheal had never felt more embarrassed.This arrogant man was her supposed fiance?She whirled around only to see Laura Bane kissing his cheeks, a broad smile on both of their faces.Racheal frowned at the sight of Laura Bane, who was there with her fiance.Even though he didn't love her, the least he could have done was giving her some face.it wasn't as if she had the choice to refu
CHAPTER FIVEMr. Williams paced around the large living room like a caged tiger, his face was red and tight in fury.The news he had seen circling around the internet had been unpleasant.He stopped pacing the moment the door pushed open and Rachael entered .Rachael knew something was wrong the moment she stepped inside , her mother was nowhere to be seen , it was just her father who wore an irritated look as though his flesh was been eaten by ants."You shameless fool! you decided to step your feet into this house !" Her father bellowed at the top of his voice.Rachael could only guess what could possibly make her father so angry .it surely had something to do with what had transpired between she and Caleb."You must go and apologies to him ! you insulted him publicly, what if he decides not to marry you because you upsetted him!
