"Mr. Collin" Rachael called out and he looked at her. "You seem a little distracted today" He paused for a while before finally opening his mouth to speak"There's a fashion exhibition coming up tomorrow. A lot of people will be there. Would you like to come?" he inquired, taking Rachael by surprise. "I don't like fashion exhibitions". Rachael retorted plainly"Coming to meet me in public isn't going to redeem you to the public. You know that right, Rachael?" "So you know what I was doing. How will a fashion exhibition do otherwise?""You'll see" he shrugged. "Are you coming?""The stares are already getting to me. I suppose I can use the help" she said, trying her possible best to sound nonchalant when in a real sense, she felt exhilarated by the thought of going somewhere with Xavier Collin "but why are you trying to help me?"Xavier exhaled sharply. "I don't know" he spoke truthfully. "Cosmos will be at your house tomorrow to pick you up" he added.The surreality of the scenario
Words couldn't explain how disturbed Rachael felt as soon as the car halted. She swallowed hard, gazing at the building which had “imperial hall” inscribed boldly at the top of it. Even without entering the place, she could smell the exquisiteness from where she sat."Shall we?" He said to her when Cosmos opened the door for them. Rachael gulped. She had prepared herself beforehand for this, but now it was staring her in the face, and she couldn't help but feel anxious.Xavier was the first to get out and after stabilizing herself, she highlighted from the other side. They walked side by side with Xavier's guards strutting behind them until they got to the big door which had two guards guarding it. Luckily the guards that stood at the door didn't look at her in the judgemental way she expected, instead, they opened the door for them.Rachael wiped her sweaty hands on her dress whilst she gaped around the hall. Just as she had thought, it was uniquely ornate. It was a big hall, filled
After the thrills of the exhibit ended, Rachael was left to face reality again. The show was over and they were supposed to leave, but the scoop of journalists outside the door scared her. They were as desperate as a lion who had starved for days, ready to feast on its prey. Xavier looked undisturbed as they walked towards the door with his guards at the front, ready to prevent any reporter from touching both of them.The moment they got outside, the reporter rushed them instantly throwing questions at them. They didn't answer the questions, but Rachael couldn't help but feel disturbed by these questions."Did you kill Hardy Collin..... What is your defense to the accusations to the charges laid on you..... How close are you with Mr. Xavier... Photographs of the two of you caught in public have surfaced on the internet. What do you have to say about that?" Rachael managed to ignore all the questions but one question got to her."How do you feel about the reopening of the case?"Rachae
It was another therapy session and despite the awkwardness of the class, Rachael decided to get practical with her work. "Massages?" Xavier asked to ensure he heard correctly, but the grin on her face said it all."Yes they are said to improve your mood and also help you feel relaxed""And you want to try it out on me?" he asked and she nodded with a witty smile on her face. "Now? ""I don't see why not. We can't try it any other time apart from therapy class." She shrugged. Although Xavier wasn't comfortable with the arrangements he allowed her."So my mum always used this technique for me a while ago," she said as she went behind him and subsequently slipped her hands into his chest.Xavier was amazed. "Can't it be done from outside the shirt?" He asked because he wasn't sure he could handle her touching him like that. He might end up losing his mind. If just talking to her did something to him, her hands on him might just make him lose the last bit of self-control."No this is how
"Fuck" he groaned, the moment it went it. He started slowly at first, making sure she got used to his size and adjusted to it.Rachael moaned out in pleasure as her mound became filled with his shaft. It was so huge that she did not doubt how it could reach her womb if it managed to go in fully. It eventually went in completely and her moan intensified.He picked up the pace, ramming into her cunt at the same time, kissing her on the lips. His other hand found its way to her breast and squeezed it, causing her to moan more loudly. He flipped her around and slipped his shaft into her well-moist mound once again. "Fuck" he mumbled under his breath. " you are so wet" he groaned out in pleasure. He continued fucking her recklessly which she loved. She loved the way he filled her up completely. The pleasure made her moan so loud that she was sure some of the guards heard her, but she didn't care. Xavier didn't also.He pressed his hands on her abdomen while still fucking her and she scr
After getting her paycheck and an extra thousand dollars, Rachael ought to be happy, but instead, she was staring at a group of police officers at her door with dismay written on her face."Mrs. Rachael Anderson," the less steely blonde pudgy cop said to Rachael who looked devastated. They all stood in the way, blocking the door while one of them was slightly closer to her than the rest. The look in his eyes held distrust as if she was going to bolt off any second."Yes," she clung her bathrobe over her body as water dripped from her wet hair. She was just getting out of the shower when she heard the knock on the door and was abruptly terrified to find a troop of police officers by her door."We would like to take you to accompany us to the police station for questioning," the distrustful one said, making it look like she had discretion when in a real sense if she told them no, they would bundle her up in handcuffs and force her anyway."What is this about?" she asked even though she
After being interrogated by detective Silvia, Rachael was devastated, but her mood lit up when she saw Xavier at the reception, quarreling with the officer. He stopped when he saw her approaching him."Xavier" she called out, trying not to act too excited, but she felt secure with him around. One minute she was scared of her own shadow, now she felt invulnerable.He beckoned on her and they both walked out of the station. The moment they got out, he turned to ask her. "What did the officers ask you?""Questions relating to the case. At this point, I'm so confused. I don't remember anything from that night. I am not even a heavy sleeper, but I slept like a pig while a man was being murdered." She raised her palm to her head as she exhaled sharply. "This is so confusing"Something flashed in his eyes while she babbled, but it was too fast to be deciphered. "Let's go inside the car," he let out, totally ignoring the topic Rachael ranted about.He always averted anything that involved br
*******"Listen, miss Davies, you were never at the hotel with Hardy Collin " Mr. Smith the supposed lawyer, Xavier hired to coach her before the trial said and she was astounded.Rachael looked at Xavier who didn't say anything to ensure he heard what the lawyer uttered, but the look on his face didn't hold the confusion she thought it would."But I was there""You'll end up going to jail if you say that," the black-haired Asian middle-aged lawyer said and Xavier nodded to show he agreed with everything that was being said."The CCTV has footage of me leaving the room. I can't lie when there's proof. The receptionist might even recognize me. She was the one who checked us in" she explains, pointing out the obvious. She knew with the CCTV camera footage and testimony from the receptionist, she might go to jail.Xavier finally spoke up "The receptionist and the footage will be taken care of, just do as he says" he advised her."So what should I say then because they already have my rec
Rachael's POV.Mr gruffy had been fired!I didn't doubt Xavier a bit when he said he was going to deal with him, but I didn't know it was going to happen so fast.I thought I was going to be transferred to another place entirely, but I was transferred to another room instead. It was a private room. At first, I enjoyed it, but after 2 days, I felt like I was losing my mind. Not being with anyone gave me more room to think, about how much of a mess I was in. Sometimes, I felt the need to scream out in pain and anger to take my anger on the universe due to how it landed me in this mess.“Anderson" I heard a voice. I hadn't even realized when the door to the room was opened. I stayed in my bed as I turned my head to look at the officer.It was time.“It's time," he said and I gulped. What if Xavier's plan didn't work out?******Silvia's POV.“Aren't we going to tell Mark at least?" Gary asked. I could already see the fear in his eyes as he panicked.“No Gary, we are not. Mark is with Xav
I wanted Xavier to stay with me, but I knew that was close to impossible. He had other things to do and most importantly, he was free. He could do whatever he wanted while I had to stay within the four walls of a place that suffocated me.I was grateful Mr gruffly wasn't the one who walked me back to my room. I couldn't bear another baton being raised at me. I was already broken inside, I didn't want to break outside.I was taken back to my room. My roommates looked at me creepily, but that didn't stop me from stealthily walking back to my bed.“You got a visit and it's not even visiting day" the lady who always stared at me weirdly said. There was anger in her eyes and it freaked me out even though I tried to act like I wasn't affected.“Little Miss favorite" She muttered under her breath“I thought you can get visits anytime. It's jail not prison after all" I said and it seemed that only made her angry. Not only her but all of them.“Is that what they told you? How the fuck are you

Rachael's POV When I saw the tiny bit of sun creep in through the tiny window, I heaved a sigh of relief. I wasn't myself through the night. I couldn't sleep a wink because I kept getting the image of myself being smothered in my sleep. I wasn't being paranoid, it could likely happen in prison. One of the women was awake too, staring at me at intervals, probably waiting for me to sleep. She had a book in front of her, but I was certain she wasn't reading it because she had been on the same page for hours.“Good morning Anderson," the same lady said from her bed and I froze. I didn't want to give her a response. If I didn't, maybe she would get the cue that I wasn't interested in mingling with her and would leave me alone.I tossed to the other side of the bed and I heard her say. “Rude" I scoffed but didn't give her a response. It was ruder to stare at someone like a freak all night.The door to the prison cell opened, but I still didn't turn around. I wasn't being rude, so I wouldn
Rachael POV I stood by the door not sure of what to do as I listened to what they all said. My mouth seemed too heavy to produce words. When they were done saying everything they wanted to say, I parted my lips to speak “Where can I sleep please?" My voice was very distorted. That was a result of how scared I was. Plus there was this girl who didn't say a word like the rest of the inmates. She just kept staring at me as if she knew me from somewhere.The chubby lady chuckled when I asked that question."Don't be such an uptight girl. This is a prison, you can do whatever you want and I didn't expect our blood queen to be so timid”I glared at her. “I am not your blood queen," I said under my breath.“Ohhhhh someone is getting angry," the lady who sat on the floor said."How the fuck were you even able to murder a guy like Hardy? He is so powerful” I almost cried when one of them asked me that.I wanted to scream 'I didn't kill him' but I knew they were all going to laugh and probably
A/N Hello guys, from now on, I will be writing in first person POV. That's what I'm comfortable with. I hope you guys would understand. Also thanks for staying this long in the story. I promise, it will get way better a long the way. Rachael's POV.Since Xavier said I couldn't stay at my house anymore, I had been staying at his house, visiting him at the hospital once in a while. The court date was drawing closer and each time I thought about it, cold shivers went down my spine. I just wanted that date to remain stagnant and not come any closer.I unwrapped my hair from the messy bun it had been and let it cascade down my shoulders. I was going to visit Xavier that day. He was doing much better and the doctor said he was going to discharged anytime soon. As I brushed my hair, there was a knock on the door.“Yes come in" I mumbled and the door was opened. It was one of Xavier's guards, Billy.“Is there a problem?" I asked as I continued brushing my hair.“Ma'am the police are here"M
Rachael cried her eyes out when her mother was confirmed dead. She saw her whole world shatter before her eyes. She didn't want to believe it, but it was the heartbreaking reality that she had to accept sooner or later.Andrew didn't try to console her. He let her cry her eyes out while they waited for the doctor to get back with the cause of her death. He felt It would be better if he let her cry her pain away. But there was something he didn't know and that was the fact that the pain couldn't just go away. It was a pain that could most likely linger for the rest of her life.The doctor came out shortly and Andrew was the first to get up in anticipation. Rachael on the other hand was too broken to pay attention to anything."Miss Davies" he called out to Rachael who finally looked at the doctor. Then she stood up."How did she die doctor?" Her voice was hoarse from too much cryingThe doctor let out a sharp exhale. "It was kind of strange, but I found red markings around her neck whi
Something flashed in his eyes immediately after Rachael said those words, but it was too quick to be deciphered."What do you think Mr. Smith?" she asked, pushing further but he only shrugged."How would I know? I am just a lawyer" he said, but Rachael knew there was more to this and he knew exactly what."Did you know Hardy Collin very well?""Yes, I did. I was the family lawyer. That means I was his lawyer too""What was he like?"Rachael leaned closer from her seat as her eyes peered into his in anticipation."Cheerful, Uhm." When he looked into Rachael's curious eyes, he realized there was no need to lie anymore. "Cold, heartless" he blurted out the truth.Rachael wasn't surprised a bit. She remembered how he was that night. At the club, he was loving and caring, but in the hotel room, the true beast in him came out."Who do you think is the most likely to kill him?"He hesitated. Then parted his lips to speak, but closed them back. From his eyes, it was certain he had a lot to say
Her eyes widened in shock. Her lips parted to scream, but only a whisper was heard. This wasn't happening. She stared at the blood in revulsion. It trickled like water from his head. He had shot himself under the jaw. But why did he do it and why in her house?She looked upstairs. Gladly, her mother hadn't come out of her room. She was still asleep. The sight wasn't something too pleasant for her mother to watch.Her cell phone was smashed by him so she had to go to the telephone by the door to call 911."Hello," Her voice came out differently. It was due to the strong fear she felt. Her mouth felt patched, her throat hurt, and her body trembled."Yes, who is this and where are you calling from?""Rachael Davies. Heddie's street. 104 apartment" she made sure she said the name of her apartment before anything else. In case another freak barged in and did something even crazier. "Why did you call Miss Rachael?""A freak broke into my house." She whimpered. She hadn't even realized she h
