THE COLLIN BROTHERS Job offer
*******Rachael held the phone to her ear while she tried to chew the freshly baked buns, trying to curb them from scorching her tongue."Hello Rachael" she heard the voice and froze momentarily. She brought the phone down to look at the number on the screen."Xavier?" She blurted, alarmed. "How did you get this number?" "The same way I tracked you down effortlessly," he asserted, placing forth the obvious.If he could track her in less than 3 hours, getting her number was a lesser walkover."What is it?" She inquired, crouching on the handle of her sofa."I heard you have been having difficulties finding a job" he uttered, calmly. Rachael was astounded by his right inference. "How did you know?" she asked, looking around her house to detect if there was any CCTV camera installed to watch her every move. Probably he had them fixed when she was away. When she found none, her mind relaxed a bit."Can we meet?" he said and Rachael didn't let his dismissal of her questions go by."How t
THE COLLIN BROTHERS If she didnt kill him, who did?
"Hardy Collin died and we are just going to drop the case like that?"Silvia asked bewilder at the absurdity of the situation.Mark's hand left the bookshelf he had earlier been rummaging in and turned to look at her. "His brother dropped the case. There is no more we can do. Why are you so interested in this case?""Isn't it crazy Mark? Don't you want to find out more?""Not everyone is as inquisitive as you Silvia""This is a criminal case. It can't be dropped all of sudden. It is against the law and you know it. God, you are the DCI. You are supposed to know this" Mark's countenance altered into a grimace as he stood with hands akimbo. "And you shouldn't talk to your DCI like that. Look, some things are beyond me, Silvia. I can't carry on. He is very powerful in the state and has the higher-ups around at his finger. I am just a DCI and I do have not much power. Now" he pointed his index finger at her. "this case was dropped because of lack of evidence. That's exactly what you'll fi
THE COLLIN BROTHERS Therapy gone wrong
"come with me" Donald, the old man from the other day said to her. She gave him a slight nod and he left to call Xavier.Rachael while seated, joined her sweaty shaky hands together to help with the apprehension she acquired the moment she trudged into his house. This was the third time she was here but still didn't change the nervousness that frequently emerged. Her hands instantaneously adjusted her hair, tucking it behind her ear and also her black dress.The sound of footsteps from the stairs, halted her actions as she sat up, waiting for him to show up. He came into view, dressed in a blue tuxedo and red bow. Rachael was stunned. The first reason for her reaction was how insanely attractive he looked. Everything about him emitted perfection_ the way he walked, even his aura. The second reason was how overly dressed he was for a meeting with her. Probably he wasn't ready for "therapy" today and was going somewhere instead. "I didn't expect you to show up so early" his voice echoe
THE COLLIN BROTHERS Under Anthony's protection
********"come in" Anthony heard a hesitant reply from the house after ringing the doorbell for over 2 minutes. He opened the door and stepped in. Jerry sat on the couch of the sitting room and as if he knew he was Anthony, he didn't budge.Anthony settled at his side while Jerry kept his eyes transfixed on the television. "Why do we have to work for him" he spoke softly, still not looking at Anthony."We can't leave, we took an oat" Anthony reminded him.Jerry sighed in exasperation. "I fucking know" Anthony brushed Jerry's blonde hair off to access his injury. "You didn't tend to them?""Does it matter?""Yes it does""Since you could stand there and do nothing, it just proves it doesn't matter at all" Jerry voiced out angrily. This time he looked at him with irritation and annoyance visible in his eyes. "Richard can be crazy, but you should have done something""I did something. He is the boss, you don't expect me to fight him?" "Certainly" he scoffed as he tore his eyes off Ant
THE COLLIN BROTHERS Stigma
The stares Rachael got from the people of the restaurant made her slightly uncomfortable. She had thought she was already used to it, but that was a lie. The stares still made her feel like a reject. it had been so long since she ate out because of the persistent stare. Either out of curiosity or resentment. of course, she was the woman who killed the famous Hardy.If Andrew hadn't insisted they met at a restaurant, she wouldn't be here. She occasionally bent her wrist to check the time at the same time, tapping incessantly on the table nervously.The waitress's voice behind her made her jolt in fear due to how distracted she was. Bringing her hand to her chest, she gave off a fake smile. At least the black-haired waitress didn't have a judgemental look on her face. "Is there. Something you'll like to order ma'am" the young girl said in the most polite tone. It threw Rachael off. She hadn't remembered the last time she was treated so kindly by a stranger after the whole incident."Oh
THE COLLIN BROTHERS I'm not even a real therapist
"At bloody Xavier's house. I work for him" she blurted out and Andrew looked at her in skepticism."You work for Xavier Collin?" he asked to confirm the terms."Yes I do""That's insane. What's the nature of the job?""I'm his uhm" she bit her lips not knowing the best way to say it. "I'm his therapist" she blurted out. The look on Andrews's face said it all."You are his what? Rachael, you are not a therapist""Well I told him that, but he insisted on me counseling him. According to him, he saw hope in him""You fucking killed...." He was about to complete the statement but stopped midway. "You were accused of killing his brother" "I know right? This was all crazy. The way he even knew I was looking for a Job and offered me a job out of nowhere""Wow," Andrew exclaimed. "You are very lucky. While your seat on a comfy chair,I get to run around the whole fucking place to please my irritable boss""I thought he went on a vacation""He did, but he's back now. His supposed partners cut o
THE COLLIN BROTHERS fuck Exhibit
"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
THE COLLIN BROTHERS Inspiration is key
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

THE COLLIN BROTHERS Xavier's bad side
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
THE COLLIN BROTHERS I will always be relentless
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

THE COLLIN BROTHERS How Hard?
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
THE COLLIN BROTHERS Missing Flashdrive
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
THE COLLIN BROTHERS first day in prison (blood queen)
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
THE COLLIN BROTHERS Staying by urself is not safe
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
THE COLLIN BROTHERS he was just a lawyer
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
THE COLLIN BROTHERS The crazy stalker
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
