The ensuing slap was expected, but the overwhelming emotion that accompanied it was unsettling. As Rachelle attempted to force the door shut, her mother gave her a sharp slap on the cheek, which caused her to barely manage to get back into her room. “How dare you!” Laura fumed her anger. “Oh what have we done for you guys, this is how you pay us back by sleeping with your own sister’s fiancé?” Rachelle sat up straight and all the years of bitterness poured out for her to spill the words she had cherished for years. “All what you have done for me?” she sneered, “I got humiliated, Morgen favored over me, you tried to match me with this man I don’t love? Yes, I’m all bowled over with joy. ” The look on Laura’s face made her mouth drop open when she heard Rachelle explode. Morgen has sat with her head leaning on the back of the sofa, tiredly crying the following day. Dominion followed the scene keenly as if he was glued to a cinema screen. “Ah! Such family drama! But I am afraid
There was no doubt that the atmosphere became somewhat tense after Dominion stormed out of the room. Morgen who was very active in the early stage of the revelation, found herself sobbing again as she was momentarily overtaken by high emotions. “Morgen, how could you, Rachelle?” Morgen replied bitterly, angrily wiping the tears that were falling off her cheeks. She began to speak out aloud –and you know fully well that I loved Romeo so much but how could you do this to me. ” Rachelle immediately felt something akin to guilt trip but what quickly ensued was years of resentment. “Love him? Morgen, you barely knew him It was an arranged engagement, not a love match. ” Morgen had the look of a man ready to explode when he snapped, ‘It’ll be catastrophic. ’ “You know nothing about our relationship! We loved each other once, we did! And Romeo was the only one who really knew me!” Laura, who was lost in her thinking process suddenly spoke. “Morgen, darling, stop crying We have to do
With pride, Morgen lifted her chin and said, "I know he can save Romeo." All that is required is that.Then he said to me, "I will do everything in my power to save him, Romeo. I think I am a friend of his." And that means I could support him Laura looked thoughtful. Not a bad idea, in fact! Dominion is still the right partner, and if the man can free Romeo’s company… Rachelle could not believe her ears indeed, what she was hearing was simply unbelievable. “Do you two have a screw loose up there? Morgen, you can’t go marrying for a man who clearly does not love you back so that you save him from death!” Morgen’s eyes were filled with anger and she began to gobble her words again. “You don’t know that! Romeo does love me, he is just… hurt. As soon as he gets back his company he will come to me, I know it!” Rachelle’s feeling was pity that engulfed her. , She also found my sister so irresponsible that she was unable to see reality because she was obsessed with her new partner. ‘
The burden of the latest occurrences that had taken place did not leave Rachelle’s head as she walked towards Romeo’s office. The noise of the street outside seemed so far away; so unreal in fact, as she attempted to come to grasps with what Dominion had told her and the fact that Morgen had so recklessly charged into this fight. She required information and there was only one person from whom she could get the information. Looking at the tall glass structure that comprised the premises of Romeo’s company, Rachelle hardened her resolve while at the same time feeling anxious. She had already come this far, she could not afford to fail but the feeling that was constantly poking at her brain. This is a classic case of what the ancient Roman philosopher Othello said: Jealously demands evidence, not truth When the excellent culture that existed in Dominion before this incident is considered, the following question can be formed.But she couldn't shake of the feeling of “ What if Dominion
Romeo had never before appeared the slightest bit insecure or hesitant in his demeanor, so his poise was a little off. "At first, no. Morgen and I were engaged through a business arrangement; you are aware of this. I only agreed to his proposal because I was ready to get married, and when you suggested this plan, it worked out perfectly for me. And here we are today” Rachelle was relieved and impressed that Romeo wasn’t actually in legal troubles, excited about the scheme that Romeo was actually planning, and a little smothered that she partook in the process. “Then where are we?” she asked, her voice was so low like she was afraid to utter the last words. Romeo moved a hand and touched her hand tightly. The move was tender, unexpected, especially from the cold- calculating entrepreneur Angle had begun to recognize him as. “Rachelle, there is something you need to know about me and our engagement.There was a time I entered into this arrangement to be engaged to you only on busi
Romeo sat down in his car contemplating on either to inform his mom about Rachelle or not. He wasn't the type to feel conflicted about his decision but already knew what she would think of her.His engagement to Morgen was a known fact already and switching between sisters wouldn't be honorable before his mom, as she already loved Morgen as his bride.It would surely take the entire year to convince Clara, to accept Rachelle as her daughter-in-law. Romeo wasn't sure why he consented to the deal with Rachelle each time he thought about it.No lady has ever intrigued him like she did even though it's obvious that she was trying to use him for revenge. This is crazy, he shook his head as he came down from the car. Staring at the light up mansion surrounded with roses. His mom's favorite flower.Romeo though cold and unapproachable to other people was a good son to his mom. He couldn't find it in him to disobey him when it comes to what she wants from her. She's the only person that has
“Ariel, get out of this place right now, you have no say in this matter. Mom, can you just imagine her audacity to eavesdrop on my conversation? I will get back to you, for now just leave my presence” Romeo said through gritted teeth, his expression as dark as the night.Ariel shuddered at the look on Romeo's face, she had never seen him get this angry about anything not even at her. This is the more reason she needed to stand against the idea of Romeo dating Rachelle. Who knows what that lady would do the moment she got married to her brother.She wouldn't be able to access her brother like before, she had heard of a wicked daughter-in-law who turned the back of the groom against his family, and she wouldn't sit and do nothing while Rachelle or whatever she called herself took over.“Mom you had better speak some sense into your son, Rachelle Rakel will not have a space in this family. She won't carry the family's name, she would end up doing nothing but bring harm and tarnish the fa
Do I need to come over?The moment Rachelle opened the door to their living room, she found both Laura and Morgen seated on the couch, one with folded arms before her chest while the other was tapping the floor with her feet.She was taken aback by their action wondering what it was this time around, she thought to ignore them and went to her room for rest but the moment she walked past them, Morgen sprang to her feet.“Don't you have any shame, Hun?” And there she goes, what has she done this time around, Rachelle thought, turning to face both parties with the last strength in her. The make up she had on since morning had worn out, leaving a funny look on her face. She wanted to do nothing but wash off the day's weariness off her body because her body hurts like hell.*I thought you were better than this but I was proved wrong, mom can you ever imagined that Rachelle will ever end up this way” Morgen spit out, looking at Laura for help.“Oh sorry that I disappointed you, yeah of cou
