The Bargain The Stormy Night
Racheal gasped.In the time it took her to recover from her surprise, the intruder rolled over and pinned her under, her back to the floor.She struggled to push the intruder off her, but failed. She quickly felt around for the intruder's face but the intruder repeatedly hit her head against the hard floor to knock her out.Racheal ignored the pain she felt and the dizziness it was beginning to cause her.She found the intruder’s eyes and sunk her nails in. The intruder screamed but their voice was muffled by what Racheal suspected was a mask, so she couldn’t hear them clearly.The intruder tried to get off her, but Racheal held on. She knew if she let go, the intruder would have enough room to start shooting randomly, and one of the bullets may just hit her. She was not ready to risk that.“Help!” She screamed at the top of her voice as she clinged on to the intruder.Were her guards so deaf they could not hear all the commotion? How did this intruder get past them in the first place
The Bargain I kept your secrets
“Racheal. Racheal, can you hear me?”When she opened her eyes she saw Delbert running beside a stretcher that was wheeling her into the hospital.She opened her mouth to speak, but a sharp pain from her head blinded her. It was sharp and searing, and made her face feel numb.This pain was too much. How had she gone from feeling nothing to feeling so much.She winced as the pain seized her skull like a clamp.“Doctor, She is in so much pain, can’t you do something?” She heard Delbert say, just as he disappeared from her sight as the doctors wheeled her into a ward.She closed her eyes to fight the pain, and slipped into unconsciousness from there.When next she opened her eyes, it took her a whole minute to remember who she was, and where she was.She could hear arguing in the background, and the raised voices made her head start hurting again.“You do not deserve her. You should let her go to someone that will take proper care of her.”“And you are that person? You? Do you think she wo
The Bargain A spy at the presidential villa?
Racheal told the cops all she remembered,From the point she began to feel uncomfortable when she went to bed that night, till she heard the thud against her bed: a thud she suspected was the intruder miscalculating her steps and hitting her foot against the bed.She recounted their struggle for the gun, hitting the intruder, and seeing the intruder’s frame in the brief light from the storm’s lightning.“If the light was brief, how can you be so sure it was a woman?” The lead cop asked.“We struggled against each other for a long time.” Racheal said.“That does not mean anything.” The other cop interjected.“You don’t think I will recognize a woman’s breast against my body even if we were fighting in the dark?” Racheal asked.The cops had the grace to blush and feel uncomfortable at her comment.“Do you think the lights in your room were tampered with, or the storm made them faulty?”“I don’t know, when I got to my living room though, the lights were on. But so were my bedroom lights
The Bargain Don't touch me!
Racheal looked at Jade sadly.She doubted the Carlos could help her. It was not because she doubted their power; they were arguably one of the most powerful families in the world, an ancient royal house.But her life was too complicated for anyone to get her out.The Dallozs had tried, but had gotten nowhere yet because everyday something new happened that seemed to dig her deeply into this pit, making it that much harder for anyone to pull her out.“Just say the word. We will take you out before anyone knows what is happening.”Racheal shook her head. “It’s not that simple.”“Why do you think so? You only have to get past the border of both countries, and no one will be able to touch you anymore.”“I am Yin’s property. My father signed me off.” Racheal said in exasperation.“Not even he can take me away, except he wanted to restart the war. Only Spencer Sherrod has the power to let me go, or the Coterie perhaps.” She paused, thinking.If the Dallozs were the leader of the Coterie, it
The Bargain What is Steffan hiding?
“Are you comfortable?” Steffan asked as the car began to move. He had cushioned the car seat with pillows and brought a blanket. It was the blanket Delbert had gifted her, her comfort blanket that smelled like Jasmine. Her mother’s scent. Racheal wrapped the blanket tighter around her body as she settled further into the seat.“Yes, thank you.” She said simply, her response polite enough, but cold. She knew he was trying to fix whatever it was that had broken between them, but she was not sure she was interested. Like he had said himself, what was the point of all this? He could not protect her, his attitude was ever changing, the only reason she was still being polite to him was both their fathers’ threats. She did not want his father to cut off her freedom of movement and association. She also did not want to provoke her own father to go ahead with his threat.She wondered Roni Rana knew what happened to her, did he even care?“How is Skylar?” She asked suddenly.Steffan turn
The Bargain You spiteful little...
When the couple arrived at the villa, they met a high stack of flowers just at the gate, and a small group of curious crowd. Racheal was thrown a little off balance at the sight, how did they know?“I knew those journalists were bad news. Why can’t you all just do your job well?” Steffan said angrily to his guard who was sitting in front beside the driver. She winced. She wished he would stop shouting. If there was anyone to blame, it was himself who had left her all alone, and took her chief guard with him to wherever he had gone. She said nothing though. The car stopped, and Isaac appeared almost immediately at her door. She stepped out of the car before Steffan came around to assist her. Luna and Leah were waiting at the steps to assist her too. She smiled at them. She had really not had enough time with them in the last few weeks, and she missed them.“Hello.” She greeted with a smile, as both young women walked up to help her. “Ma’am.” Leah greeted with a bow, and lovin
The Bargain I can protect you Racheal
Danna Sherrod left after assuring Racheal that there was nothing to worry about.Rachael thought the woman's whole attitude switch was strange. Why was she so calm now?She turned back to their bedroom to lay down. She feared she would soon pass out if she didn’t.“You did not have to agree to that.” Steffan said as she climbed on to the bed.“Please don’t.” Racheal frowned, trying to close her eyes.“I can protect you, Racheal.” He said strongly, too strongly.She opened her eyes to look at him in disbelief. The silence that hung in the room after those words was heavy and awkward. She slowly turned her back to him, and closed her eyes.When she woke up, it was completely dark outside, but she did not feel as terrible anymore.Steffan was sitting on the bedroom couch looking at her. He stood up to help her, but she lifted a finger to stop him.She pushed her weight up with her left hand, her only good hand. She stood still for a while, waiting for her body to feel stable enough, befo
The Bargain On my father's life
“The sleeve of this dress is similar to her skin tone. It would be difficult for anyone to notice it was her real skin. With a full coverage makeup, even she would doubt she was ever injured.”“Pity you don’t have the remedy for my pains too.” Racheal said quietly.The man paused, and stuttered.He was the head of a glam team she had not seen before, and she did not like him.He smiled too much, but it was an unkind smile. She noticed how badly he had been treating his team since they got here.She suspected that he’s was Danna’ Sherrod’s private glam team.She had brought him here, and only someone like her would work with such a nasty man.“Less talk, more work Nico.” Danna Sherrod said, taking a seat.The woman had come to her suite early that morning with the presidency's doctor. She waited for the doctor to check all her wounds, and take the bandage off her head.She waited quietly still for her to bathe and eat, more quiet than Racheal had ever seen her. She didn’t know the woman
