Chapter Eighteen

Rachel's Pov

“What do I do? After all I am not In a relationship with Noah” I sighed deeply. “Noah is still the best after I have had. He's caring, loving. If I should lose him, I might not be able to get someone like him anymore” I thought.

I sat down on my bed, still thinking, “I shouldn't lose this opportunity too. What if I do it in a secret way? In a way that Noah and the president's wife won't be aware of?

My PA was right when she said I needed to seize this moment. But what if things go wrong? What if Noah finds out? What if the president’s wife gets suspicious?” different thoughts came through my mind. I stood up, checking the mirror. I packed through the room finding a solution to the issue at hand.

“Actually, I might regret this if I don't grab the chance, I might regret it for the rest of my life. Noah... he means so much to me.

He’s been there through everything, and the thought of losing him scares me more than anything.”I paused, looking a

I dialed the number and after ringing for some seconds, he picked up the call “Hello, Miss Rachel,” the president said, after picking up the call. “How are you doing?” I asked. “I am fine, what about you?” “I am fine, how's your wife and the country's affairs?’” “My wife is very fine and the country's affairs are fine… Any news for me?” “Hmm…Can we meet, like in a restaurant or eatery” “I am sorry about that, I wouldn't be able to meet you at just a restaurant or eatery. But I have a private house in which I will send the address to you. So I'll send the time and the address to you” “Whoa! No problem…. I understand” “Yeah, please always delete the number so that Noah wouldn't see the call or anything related to us discussing” “No problem about that, thank you Mr. Noa

He shifted closer to me“Rachel, you have nothing to worry about. This will be our secret. No one will know.” “I know,” I said to him, “But what if... what if someone finds out?” He chuckled softly, as if the idea was absurd.“They won’t. And even if they did, who would dare question the President?” His confidence was unshakable, and for a moment, I almost believed him. “What about your wife?” I asked, my voice barely a whisper.He paused, his gaze darkening slightly. “She won’t know. Our relationship has always been... separate from the public eye. This will be no different.” “I just don’t want to cause any trouble, If people hear that they won't take it easy with me.

    Chapter Twenty One As I sat on the bed, I thought about what happened in the private house of Mr. James. The way he pushed me and the way he inserted it harder. I have never had such thing before. I can see what Sophia James is enjoying, I don't mind enjoying that with her. I had never felt such a mixture of pain and pleasure, something raw and enjoyable. I couldn't stop comparing it to anything that I had experience before. I took my phone, and dialed his number. He didn't pick. The third time I dialed his number he picked. “Hello Rachel, you know I am a married man, you should not be calling me anyhow” “What do you mean by anyhow? Is this part of the agreement” “Oh!

He went to check the room and he noticed she's still asleep. “Oh! I don't know, but Rachel hasn't been alright these days! I hope you will get well soon” Noah said, as she sat on the bed beside her. He touched her cheek slowly as his phone rang, it was Sophia, the first lady who called her. “What's going on?” he asked himself before picking up the call. “Hello the first lady” Noah said as he picked up the call. Rachel woke up and her heart raced as he said ‘the first lady's though her eyes closed, but her heart pounding. Noah noticed Rachel stirring in her sleep as he spoke with the First Lady. He placed his hand on her forehead, he checked if there was any sign of fever. Her skin was warm but felt alarming. He couldn’t help but worry; Rachel had been unusually distant lately, and her sudden bout of exhaustion wasn’t t

She knew it was Sophia who called Noah the other time. When Noah arrived home, she knew something was going on, he felt down. “How was your day” she asked curiously, wanting to know what's going on. “I actually missed a meeting that I was supposed to attend,” Noah said that she knew he felt down, and he didn't want her to suspect. “So, I heard Sophia called you when I was asleep, what was going on?” “Oh! That…. I was to hold a meeting at the president residence, that was why she called me” “Oh! Is that what you missed?” Rachel felt relief a little “Huh?

I got down from the car, “So what are we doing here?” “You see this house?” Sophia pointed to the house opposite us, “That is my husband’s private house. He thought I didn't know that's house, but the security in here is my informant” “So, what do you want me to do with that?” “Mr. Noah, are you sluggish or what? Can't you see Rachel's car there?” As soon as Noah heard that, he checked the compound from where he was standing, and he saw. “Oh! This is Rachel's car, but I still can't believe what you want me to believe. Rachel is at the dinner party with her model friends. This can also be someone's car, the car is not only made for her after all” Sophia shook her head in dismay "You're too trusting, Mr. Noah. Do you really think Rachel went to a dinner party and her car is parked there? Did you see any post about dinner parties from any model celebrity? And why would her car be parked here of all places?"

Sophia rode him to where his car was parked. “I am glad you came to witness this, I am sorry I made you witness this” After having a deep sigh, he said, “Thank you, Sophia. I really appreciate” As they reached there, they both came out from the car. “Will you be able to drive yourself? Should I help you? Or you call one of your driver's?” “I should be the one asking you about Sophia. You are married already and I am not even in a proper relationship with her yet. I am just in love with her, and what's between us is just contract marriage” “I know, but I am aware about what you have been through Noah” Noah leaned against his car, his gaze lingering on Sophia. The weight of the night's events pressed heavily on him, yet her concern was a small comfort amidst the chaos.“Sophia, you’ve always been there for me, even when I didn’t ask for it.

  • Shattered Trust   Peace

    Chapter Ninety Six: PeaceThe room was quiet, the hum of the evening outside barely heard through the windows. Rachel sat on the bed, pulled her knees up close to her chest, and looked down at her hands. It had been an emotional day in surges which would leave one drained and still feel lighter than it had in weeks. She had heard Noah's words, taken the weight of his forgiveness, and finally-finally-allowed herself to believe that moving on was possible.But it was not only the past that weighed upon her with Noah. It was something deeper, far deeper, which she carried with her for much longer: the weight of decisions taken and actions she had led herself into in this position she is in presently. And none of these would have been possible without Vanessa.That made Rachel stop and think. Her friend, her confidante-her best friend-had always been there for her. In the maelstrom of their pain together, however, there was a part inside Rachel that wondered whether those choices had been

    Chapter Ninety Five: The Unannounced VisitThe air was cool that evening, with that certain sting that made one clinch the jacket tighter and quicken the steps. Noah and Stephanie just stepped out of the restaurant, with the silence between them thick with dinner. Noah's mind had raced since their conversation, but his resolve had only been strengthened. He had to do this. He needed to see Rachel, to tell her he had forgiven her and wanted nothing other than for the two of them to be free to move on in life and find peace.Stephanie walked beside him, her hand clasped in his. She knew what he was doing, and as much as the wiser part of her still harbored her own reservations about the situation, she did understand that Noah needed this for his healing. She couldn't deny that a part of her was nervous, too-this wasn't going to be an easy conversation. But they couldn't ignore the past forever. Sometimes, closure was the only way forward.They turned to the building that housed Rachel's

  • Shattered Trust   A Dinner Between Hearts

    Chapter Ninety Four: A Dinner Between HeartsEvening had worn into the comfortable silence; Noah sat opposite Stephanie, watching as she carefully placed the settings of the dishes she prepared for the better part of the afternoon. The hum of the kitchen at the restaurant behind him was accompanied by clinking of fine china and silverware, with wafting smells of fresh vegetables and herbs that reminded him of how much he had missed homely comforts.With a quiet contentedness that only can come from cooking for somebody dear, Stephanie smiled brightly at him across the table. She had always been a fantastic cook, and tonight wasn't going to be an exception. There was such delicacy in the balance of tastes and flavors on his plate to confirm her genius, but more important than anything was the fire that lit with her presence there, and her laughter that danced around the room in its voice.You know, she said, sipping her wine, I think this might be the best meal I've made in weeks.

  • Shattered Trust   Internal Struggle

    Chapter Ninety Three: Rachel's Inner StruggleRachel sat alone in the darkened room of her apartment, hands clasped tightly around a mug of tea that she hadn't sipped. The warmth from the cup seeped into her palms but did nothing to quell the chill gnawing at her chest. She hadn't been able to get out of bed for the past few days, but today, her mind couldn't afford the luxury of lingering in self-pity any longer.She knew no longer what to do with herself as the world kept blurring into one big confusion of pain. The weight of her actions weighed heavily upon her, at times insurmountable. She quit her job, the one thing that anchored her into some kind of routine, just to get away from the tension slowly choking her. The thought of facing Noah after everything that had happened-after having betrayed him and watched him move on with Stephanie-was just too much to bear. Her guilt was eating her from the inside out, spiraling further down each passing day.The betrayal nipped at her con

  • Shattered Trust   Internal Struggle And Pressure

    Chapter Ninety Two: The fight of Rachel and Vanessa's Growing PressureShe sat on the edge of her bed and stared into the quiet night out her window. The city glowed alive, but every one of its lights, so it seemed, was farther away from the storm brewing in her heart. An ache inside her chest made her feel the air thicken enough to suffocate her with every desperate attempt to get more air in. It wasn't the night that was heavy, but the torment inside of her, her guilt, the betrayal, and all her wrong choices.Each time her mind drifted to Noah and the days with him, she remembered how he loved her, took care of her, and was there for her during the days when she needed it most. It now felt like the memories had been poisoned. Every touch he had given her, every word of love, every gesture was clouded in the knowledge that she had betrayed him. Not just once but twice-first by dating James, then by her part in Stephanie's kidnapping. She had crossed lines she could never uncross.Tea

  • Shattered Trust   Guilt

    Chapter Ninety One: GuiltThe soft, rhythmic sound of the rain tapping against the windowpane provided almost a melancholic soundtrack to Rachel's thoughts. She sat alone in her small apartment, the dim light from the lamp casting long shadows on the walls. She stood stiff, her hands curled into fists where her nails had dug deep into her palms to steady some unevenly escaping breaths from her chest. The whirlwind of turmoil, guilt, and regret all swirled within her mind.Rachel had sat here for hours without the slightest idea how much time had actually elapsed since she last checked her watch. Outside, the world had dulled to a gray haze, rain diffusing reality and fantasy. Her head was filled with visions of what had taken place during the last days. The look on Stephanie's terrified face when they took her away-when she and Vanessa dragged her away-stayed in her mind, awake or asleep. It was a memory that she could not shake, no matter how hard she tried.She thought of Noah and h

In the house, a mixture of excitement and anticipation filled the atmosphere. Noah had spent hours preparing for this moment-this day he had been planning for weeks. The room was set up, candles lit, flowers put out, and soft music was playing-perfect to set the tone of the evening just right. Everything was so intricately planned, and finally Noah was ready.He stood at the center of the room, feeling his heart beating much faster than normal. Inside him, there was some nervous energy-a mixture of anxiety and excitement-but besides that, deep and calm, one realization: This was going to be the biggest move of his life with somebody he truly cared about.The door creaked softly open, and Stephanie walked in; her eyes lit immediately with the romance of the atmosphere. Her expression softened further at the sight of Noah, who stood awaiting her. The air seeme

  • Shattered Trust   The Unexpected

    Chapter Eighty Nine: The Unexpected She went to the window and adjusted the sheers to let in the soft light of the afternoon sun. The room was intricately set: candles on elegant holders, casting a warm glow in the room; rose petals scattered all over the bed and floor; a table at the corner had all kinds of delicate desserts and champagne glasses. The mood in the room was romantic, to say the least-perfect for Noah's proposal to Stephanie.He readjusted a small, velvet box stuck into his jacket pocket and scanned the surroundings critically over it. There was an almost palpable sense of contentment in the air: Things were going according to schedule, and he could already not wait to see Noah pop the question."Is it ready?" Sophia asked him, turning from the window toward him.Almost. Just putting the finishing touches on everything," he replied, readjusting the position of flowers that had been put in a vase on the table.Sophia beamed and moved over beside him, looking at all that

And now, to hear that Noah was seriously considering a future with her-to hear that he loved her-left Rachel so exposed.
