The Bargain Solving more puzzles
Steffan placed the big dress box in the trunk of the car, as Racheal got in the passenger seat. Usually, one of their guards would have done that. It was nice to experience life as normal people.She put on her seatbelt, as Steffan climbed into the car. “How are you feeling?” He glanced at her.“Fine.” She responded, wondering why he would suddenly ask that.You have not taken your medication today.” He said, pulling the car out of the building.“I took them earlier this morning while you were still asleep.” “Oh.” He nodded. She watched him drive quietly, a thousand thoughts swimming in her head. “When you said I was embarrassed of you, after we returned from the stadium. Why did you say that?”She saw his jaw begin to grind, and he gripped the wheels more tightly. She held her breath watching him. If she knew this would upset him so much, she would not have said anything. She waited quietly, deciding that if he did not respond now, she would never ask him again.She could li
The Bargain Surprise guests at the ball
“Just as I predicted. Perfection.” Nico said, as he stepped back to look at Racheal in her dress. Marie, the makeup artist, was also smiling proudly at her handiwork.“Thank you.” Steffan said to Nico as a way of dismissing his team. “You’re all done right?” Racheal held her lips to avoid bursting into laughter. He was impatient to get them all out of the room.“Yes sir.” Nico replied, still smiling. The man was obviously missing the hint that Steffan wanted all of them out of the room, because he kept admiring the hair, and walking round the big ball of ruffles that was the dress she stood in.Steffan walked up to them, stopped, and took his phone out. “Step aside.” He said quietly to Nico. “Here baby.” He turned to her. Racheal smiled at him. She heard the sound of the phone camera click twice, then Steffan returned the phone to his pocket.Nico was still admiring his work, and all his team members were watching her too.“Are you forgetting anything Nico.” Racheal finally spok
The Bargain Hold your man
“You do?” Racheal asked, looking up at Steffan. How did they know each other?“Yes.” Steffan said, returning his hand to his pocket. He and Alvaro stared at each other, doing what men often did, sizing themselves up. “You look lovely.” Jade said, ignoring the men to hug her.“As do you.” Racheal smiled, hugging her friend. She did not miss the fact that Jade carefully avoided her injured arm. She was impressed that the woman remembered what arm had been injured even with the concealing makeup.“Not nearly as good as you.” Jade said gently, pulling away. “Everyone is talking about you.”“Who is everyone?”“Those women at the back are just one of many.” Jade said, gesturing behind.Racheal glanced behind her, but could not see more than a few metres off. The room was hazy with false smoke.She turned her attention back to Jade, not without noticing Alvaro and Steffan were whispering quietly between themselves.“Your friend is here, I saw him out back with your assistant and some o
The Bargain I don't like mistresses
“She sent you an invite?” Racheal asked, as Steffan moved with her across the dance floor, his hand on her waist.“Yes.”“So this was pre-planned after all.” She muttered to herself.She saw a flash of anger in his eyes. And then he shook his head. “No dear wife. Initially I had no idea she sent the invite. My P.A knows I cannot be bothered with things like that. I only found out I had an invite when I asked her to get us a pass to the ball earlier today.Racheal immediately felt sorry for doubting him at all. “Look at me Racheal” He said, when he noticed that she was avoiding his eyes. “I am sorry about the party.”“Why?” She asked in surprise.“This was supposed to be a part of your quiet getaway. I had no idea the whole of bloody Yin would be here.”Racheal shook her head. “Our getaway.” She said. He smiled, and kissed her forehead.“I want you to enjoy the party.”“I want you to enjoy it too.” Racheal said. Stefan rolled his eyes, causing her to giggle. “I mean it.”“You are
The Bargain Why are you choosing him?
Racheal had some difficulty finding the restroom upstairs.With no wait staff around, she had to check several rooms before she found the right one. When she finally did, it felt like her bladder was about to burst.When she walked in, she heard an odd sound. Damn. They could not even wait to get home? She hurried into a stall far from the one the sound was coming from.She thought about how Steffan would probably take her into one of these stalls if she allowed it.She was not ready to go that far yet. It was barely even two days since she had sex for the first time.She felt a blush creep up her cheeks at this thought although no one was watching her.She shook her head at herself.She concluded that sex in a public place was not something she was very eager to try out, as she stepped out of the stall to wash her hands.Racheal hurried out, still hearing the crazy loud sounds.They sounded like lusty lovers. The man’s grunt was deep, and the woman’s moans were high.She wondered
The Bargain Steffan loves me
Racheal froze, staring at Delbert in surprise. She was not shocked at what he was saying. She would be a real dummy to not know that the man had some type of feelings for her. She was simply shocked that they were strong enough for him to give voice to it. She had never believed the day would come when he would confess his feelings for her.“I love you,” Delbert repeated strongly. “I would take you out of this place if you said yes to me.” She frowned, her shock turning to hurt.So he had the power to take her out of here all this time? He did not do it because she was not his woman. Was that not selfish?This realization soured her mood.Even if Steffan was not in the picture, she would still not have accepted that kind of offer.His offer was not the absolute freedom she craved. She wanted the freedom to be able to get out of here, and choose to be with anyone she fancied, or choose to be with no one at all, if she preferred.“You are not saying anything.” Delbert said.“What d
The Bargain You are mine
The couple left after barely saying goodbye to their friends. Racheal did not see Delbert again till they left.“Thank you for tonight.” She turned to Steffan as they sat in the backseat of the Cardillac. She could already perceive that he was disappointed that she did not enjoy the ball as he had planned.Steffan drew her close, and kissed her forehead. “I am sorry your experience was ruined.” He said, and turned to look out of the window. It had begun to rain, and the rain beat against the window with force, as their convoy sped on the road back to the hotel. It was almost midnight.“It wasn’t. I had a wonderful first ball.” Racheal replied, shaking her head. And she meant it. Despite all the confrontations she had had, that she was still forcing her mind not to think of, she did not want to think about what secrets Steffan was keeping just yet, that had been a wonderful party.She had laughed, danced, ate, and forgotten all her problems for a few hours,“Won any games?” She
The Bargain Passion, Pleasures and love
Racheal could hear Steffan moving behind her, but she could not turn to look. Her chin was on a pillow, her belly pressed into her knees, as the rain continued to pour in torrents outside.She could only think of this moment. All her problems were temporarily at the bottom of her mind. She knew she was being careless, but she liked to forget everything, just for this moment.She wanted to be immersed in this world that she had just one day left in.It was way past midnight, and after today, she would return to the presidential villa to face her demons.She did not know when next she would be able to get away like this, or if it would ever happen again.Her mind returned to the present when she heard Steffan shut what sounded like the refrigerator door. Whatever he was doing, he was sure taking his sweet time.When she finally heard his steps drawing closer, her anticipation at the pleasure ahead made her forget how to breathe. What exactly was he planning to do? She felt him com
