Are you avoiding me?Rachelle climbed her bed as the floor was cold against her feet, still on a phone call with Romeo.“We are meeting tomorrow right” Romeo asked, he can picture Rachelle's small face and her kissable lips.Nay, he shouldn't be thinking about that now. No strings attached, this is an engagement devoid of emotion and it is too early to start feeling somehow. Why would she torture him this way…Sure he had never met her before except for the day she came to her office and the wild beating of his chest just at the sight of her told him he's in trouble.He's not sure if it's love but he cares enough to wipe her tears away after putting the people that make her cry behind bars. That's civil enough right, anyone can do that for his fellow man.“Of course it is Mr. Civil, who locks people up just because they made someone laugh. This girl has you wrapped around her fingers already” a small voice in his head said.There's no way in God's name that he would admit to such. He'
Admitted!!!“Oh it's so good to finally meet with you, Miss Morrison. You are brighter in person than you normally sound on the phone” Mrs Wilson said, the vice chancellor of Greenville college.Rachelle cringed at the sound of the same but gave nothing away. Giving her best smile to her soon-to-be VC. The smile on her face was lopsided and fake, her chin hurt from having to smile from time to time.“The pleasure is mine, you are more accommodating than I heard of too” Rachelle returned the compliment, feeling like she owes her one.“Don't mind the naysayers, please do have your seat” Mrs Wilson said, pointing to the wooden chair before her desk.Rachelle had contacted the old lady a few weeks ago about her interest in schooling again. She's one of her dad's friends that she saw in his study room. Doing everything within her power to be connected to her late father by visiting his study room whenever she's alone and lost.How time flies!“So, I believe you've read through the school p
Perfect planRachelle laughed for the upteempth time, a deep rich laugh. One she had never had since her rebirth. A laughter that reached down to her soul each time she remembered the state she left Dominion and Morgen.She had to quickly leave the room before she was asked to watch a live porn. Feeling sorry for the two. There's nothing to be sorry about though, they both got what they deserve. And the two would make a perfect couple, she couldn't imagine the look on Morgen's face when she would wake up. Thinking Dominion had taken advantage of her. She wouldn't though, her mind would be so fast to add one and two together with a conclusion that she put them up to this.Rachelle might have to die a second death if they lay their hands on her. She needed to go into hiding for things to cool down before she decided to go back home. Maybe after a week.She laughed out loud again, only to meet Romeo's intense gaze on her. Right, Romeo has always been her timely rescuer. Rachelle had th
Rachelle let those tears out as she was laid on the operating table, her thighs were spread wide exposing her to harsh reality. Sweats dampened on her face as she whimpered inaudibly."Rachelle, don't move," The doctor said, his voice sharp and firm. "The procedure is almost over, the more you cry, the more your body moves so stop crying,"The nurses around, their eyes never left Rachelle's body. Wondering why a woman will be forced to terminate her pregnancy and there was a hint of frustration in their eyes due to the fact that Rachelle was not calm.Rachelle gripped the edge of the operating table, wailing loudly in pains and discomfort. Something she had never experienced, and the fresh pain of their betrayal made it hard for her to make the doctor terminate the pregnancy.The procedure room's glass door swung open, and a commanding figure entered the room, her firm voice ordering everyone to leave. It was a voice Rachelle could recognize anywhere at any time. Laura, her fake siste
Rachelle's eyes opened, her eyelashes flickering as it opened. She found herself seated at the dining table, having breakfast with her mother, Morgen and Laura. The memories of her past life starts flooding in as she holds onto the fork tightly. Laura's manipulation and betrayal, her mother's hurtful words and triumph smile about her death, Dominion betrayal and the termination of her pregnancy.Then it hit her that she has been reborn, staring at the memories flooding in. She was given a second chance, her wish and prayers had been answered.Rachelle's eyes scanned the dining table, glancing at different delicacies that had arranged on the dining table. Her eyes went from the table to Morgen who was smiling at Morgen , eating her meal silently.Her heart ached from the betrayal Morgen has displayed to her in her past life and she couldn't help but feel some surge of anger towards her. She feel the urge to strangle the life out of her soul and wipe off the smile playing on her fac
Rachelle left the bridal store, she knew she was going to face the consequences of her actions but doesn't mind as far as she's going to get the freedom and the revenge she wants.She flagged down a taxi, and hopped inside the car as she told the taxi driver her home address and he started driving.Rachelle dwells herself in thoughts as she wonders what her next line of action would be now that she has cut Dominion off from her life.Soon, the taxi alighted in front of her home and Rachelle hopped out from the vehicle, paid the taxi driver and went inside the house.As soon as she got inside, she was welcomed with a resounding slap on her cheek. Her eyes met her mother's cold and raging eyes."Rachelle, what happened at the bridal store?," Laura questioned, anger shown in her voice.She knew instantly that Dominion had informed her about what transpired in the bridal store."I ended my engagement with him. Mother, I won't marry Dominion, never!" She declared and Laura scoffed at her.
After meeting Romeo, Rachelle left the house and returned home at night, her mind occupied with the encounter she had with Romeo.His sharp and straightforward words made her realize something, she's desperate for love and doesn't need to be desperate for it. Instead she should just value herself and let people's love come naturally on its own.As she approached the gate, she saw Dominion standing there looking miserable. "Why did you call off the engagement, Rachelle?" He asked, and Rachelle just stared at him blankly as she took in the reeking smell coming from him.He's drunk, and came to her in a drunken state."Dominion, I don't love you anymore. Are you not getting it??" She answered, taking a deep breath.He looked at her, his eyes searching for love in that drunk state. He cleaned his eyes, and Rachelle exhaled deeply."Leave, you are drunk," Rachelle said, about to leave when he grabbed her wrist. Immediately Rachelle yanks his hands off her wrist, and he suddenly pulls her
Rachelle's mind raced with different ways to convince him to accept her proposal. Rejection wasn't an option. Though he seemed like a well reserved and secretive man,she couldn't just assume Morgen and her mother wouldn't find out about her actions.She inhaled deeply, maintaining eye contact "compared to my sister,you will definitely enjoy my company and full support"His tensed expression relaxed "you're right. Morgen is quite spoilt and clingy,a polar opposite to my preference"Rachelle leaned forward with a knowing smile "don't you think this is an opportunity to get her of your tail? Like I said earlier,I won't be a burden to you,I can handle myself"Remeo stared intently at her,eager to decipher the motive behind her abrupt actions. The thrill in his heart increased as he marveled at her unwavering confidence. He scoffed, believing it was an opportunity to get rid of a growing leech.He cleared his throat,his lips curved in a smirk "considering the benefits I'm likely to obtain,
