" Stripped of parental attention, inheritance rights, and reputation, facing the malicious stepsister's relentless schemes, Rachel was left with only Leo, her longtime love. To cling to their remaining love, Rachel sacrificed everything, but the stepsister remained unsatisfied.Upon catching them in the affair, the stepsister smirked, "Your arranged marital home is nice; we had fun there last night." Leo unabashedly replied, "Don't disrupt us; follow my lead if you want us to proceed with marriage.Rachel boldly breaks off the engagement and vows to fight back. At a family gathering, the stepsister mocks, "Are you here to steal my man? You'll always be beneath me." Rachel smiles, saying, "Come on, darling. You didn't steal him; you did me a favor." Holding onto the arm of Leo's CEO brother, Rachel addressed the stunned stepsister and Leo, saying, "Mind your manners; you should call me sister-in-law
View MoreChapter Seven.With the gale of courage at my back, I crossed the threshold of Noah's room, determined to see what was going onAfter several persistent knocks, the door finally swung open."What is going on here?" I demanded, my voice wavering slightly as I took in the sight of Noah in a boxer and singlet while the so-called secretary was wrapped in his towel. My indignation masked the shock that reverberated through my mind.“I thought this is a business discussion but now I know this is a bedroom discussion”Noah was speechless, after so many minutes, the secretary broke the silence, “Mr. Noah, I thought she's your brother's fiance, what's she doing here?”Swallowing hard, I turned your attention back to Noah. "I am going to dinner room now and I expect to see you in less than a minute”I was leaving, when the secretary left the bed she was sitting on to drag me back. “You can just command anyone you feel like because you are a model. Do you know who you are talking to? A CEO and y
Chapter Six“Noah, can you please give me a moment?” I request, trying to mask the sudden rise of emotion that threatens to overwhelm you.“Of course,” he replies, his eyes never leaving yours. There’s a moment of stillness as you navigate the sudden intrusion of the outside world into your private sanctuary.The message- ‘Rachel, I see you’re still playing games. Guess you’re not over our breakup yet, huh? Just so you know, I saw you are trying to play games by dating my brother. Don’t you think you’re going a bit too far with your little revenge plan? Or maybe you’re just that desperate for attention. Let’s be honest, we both know you’re not over me.’As I read the message, I was lost and I couldn't control myself. “What are you reading?” Noah asked as he moved closer to me.“Nothing” I said as I cover the screen”“Are you keeping something from me now?”“No, I said No”“Your words may say no, but your body language tells a different story”Noah's gaze narrows, as if he can sense th
Chapter FiveNoah stood up and gestured towards his bedroom. "I’ll be back in a flash.” He disappeared through the door, leaving me to mull over the kind of person he was—his empathy and consideration were almost disarming, and I couldn't deny that there was a sense of security in his presence.Moments later, he returned with a bundle of clothes in his arms. "Here are some of my clean shirts and tracksuit bottoms. They might be a bit big on you, but they should do the trick.”I collected it, but I was moved by his love.The way he talks and everything, is it that he's being nice to me? or he's just nice to everyone this way.“Alright, thank you, I'd go look for Anna”“No, just call her name, she will answer, she works around here not far from my room at all and I kind of trust her, that's why I want her to be your maid, if you are not free with me, make sure you are free with her, she's so nice”“Alright, thank you” I said, I moved closer to his door and I shut his door.“Anna” I call
Chapter FourThe tension in the room was palpable, like a charged magnet ready to attract mayhem. Leo’s eyes narrowed as his mother shifted uncomfortably in her seat, while Isabella wore an expression that could curdle milk.And then, like a light switch being flicked, the atmosphere changed. I clasped to Noah’s arm, stared Leo down with a defiant glint in your eye. It was as if a new energy had taken hold of me, making me bold and unafraid to speak my mind.“I am not the type that explain and talk too much but I think I owe the family explanation, I caught Isabella and Leo two times, they were kissing each other and the other at our bridal suite”Their mouths were wide open.“I tried forgiving him because I don't want to turn the wedding down, how do I go around and tell people that the event is not going to come up, I invited celebrities and all,I keep on forgiving him, it's high time, I don't want to keep loving someone who doesn't value or respect me, I have broke the engagement r
Chapter Three With the raindrops starting to fall, I couldn't bear to ride his car, so I set off on foot, each step a wet echo of my heartbreak.The raindrops soaked through my clothes, a cold, unwelcome companion as I walked. The world around me was a blur, the heavy rain obscuring my vision as I plodded on my steps slow and heavy with the weight of betrayal.As I was walking slowly, a car then parked beside me, I tried looking up, but everything was blurry.The person came out inside the rain and opened the car, I sat down with my soaked cloth.“I would have taken you home, but you need somewhere to stay right now, you can't go home this way, do you mind dropping you to the nearest hotel”I could recognize the voice, he's Noah, Leo's brother.“How do you know I am here” “Oh! Then, I had a meeting in the hotel, I couldn't wait any longer. I decided to leave when the rain was falling, but how would you go out without taking your phone along? And where's Leo?”I was just speechless
Chapter Two My thoughts were a tangled web of suspicion and fear. As I retreated home, I knew in my gut that Isabella was the culprit. She had always been jealous of my relationship with Leo, and her motives were as obvious as her distaste for me.When I got home I remembered that I forgot my files in Leo's house. I tried reaching out to Leo, but his number was not reachable. The file was so important. With each passing minute, my need for the forgotten files grew stronger.I decided to leave my house and I left for Leo's house. I entered and I noticed the room was unlocked, I wondered why he had decided to open his door.“What? What's going on?” My heart sank as I met Leo and Isabella kissing each other passionately.I ran out with fear gripping me, I went to my house, tears streaming down gently.“What have I done to deserve this? What level of betrayal is this?” I said with tears flowing.Some minutes later, my door was opened, it was Leo who entered.He knelt down in front of me,
