The Bargain Nothing a little makeup can't fix
Everyone was ushered into the hall an hour later. The same big hall, Racheal’s wedding after-party had been held when she first arrived in Yin. Seffan pulled out a chair for her, helped her into a seat and then sat beside her.“Are you OK?” He smiled at her.She nodded, and managed to return his smile. “If you want your step-mother to accidentally trip, just say the word.” He whispered to her. She gasped. But he was joking, she saw the humour in his eyes, he was simply trying to cheer her up.“But that may ruin her pretty face, and Roni will have something new to complain about.” Steffan said. Then he turned to tell one of the waitstaff what to get them.“Nothing a little makeup can't cover.” Racheal said with a sad smile.“What?”“That's what she said when she struck my face for refusing the idea of marrying you.” Racheal said. Steffan’s face went serious as he looked at her. She could feel his anger beginning to rise. “That is all in the past now.” She added quickly. She didn
The Bargain I am yours
The table continued their meal in silence. Racheal glanced at Steffan severely to see his face was darkened. He was obviously jealous. But what did he have to be jealous about? Her heart only had space for him. He knew that, she had told him, and shown him in many different ways.“I had forgotten what his face looked like.”Steffan turned to squint at her. “What?”“I had forgotten what his face looked like. Somehow, I could not remember what he even looked like.” She said, The diners had loosened up, and the guests had become more talkative and chatty as a pianist played a solemn tone at the side of the hall. No one was paying the couple any mind.“That is a lazy lie. You are saying you didn't recognize him till he introduced himself?” Steffan was looking at her in disbelief.Racheal frowned at him. After all this time, he still thought her a liar.“I never said that. I recognized him. I just did not remember his face in the last two months, because anytime the thought of him cro
The Bargain Yin loves you again
The couple stared at each other, panting softly, their foreheads touching. Racheal smiled, Steffan returned her smile, and they started giggling.“I am sure someone heard us.” She said.“I don’t care.” He moved to kiss her forehead. She placed her hands on his large face and kissed him deeply. When she finally let go, he hugged her tight. She was still seated beside the sink.“I am sorry.” He said. She nodded, her chin hitting his shoulder in their tight embrace.“I was not very mad, just irritated.”“I know.” He said, sighing contentedly. “You know?”“Mhm hmm. You had the face of a woman who wanted to be f*cked silly.” He said.She laughed, and gently pushed him away from her. “What?”“Yes. You just needed a good f*ck to feel better.” He said, stroking her jaw. He pulled her back into an embrace. He was back to his soft self, the man who hugged her and did not want to go to the ball, back at that hotel.She stroked his dark curls, and let him hold her as tightly as he wanted to
The Bargain An order, not an offer
Racheal continued to watch her stepmother in silence, it felt good to know she was finally not under her mercy anymore.“Diana stays, it is an order, not an offer.”“You forget yourself.” Racheal said. Roslyn looked startled for the first time. “This is not your home, or country.”“Are you speaking to me that way?”Racheal just watched her. The woman was frowning at her, then she suddenly burst into a giggle. “The Sherrod boy is the one emboldening you. You think he can protect you?”“He can. He has.” Rosyln walked towards her, closing the gap between them. “You know, I did not believe it when I heard you had him eating out of your palms. I guess you finally learned our secrets.”“What secret?”“The secret of mistresses you always turned your nose up at. How do you think I snatched your father from your silly silly maman?”Racheal frowned, but she closed her mind to the words. She did not let them get to her.“After eighteen years, you finally admit to being a wh*re. Not everyo
The Bargain What is eating you up?
Racheal saw Asad Achillie as he was being led into a gas chamber, his hands in metal cuffs. He still was not talking. She watched him with her heart in her mouth, from where she was seated in the pew with other government officials in Yin. She had come to see with her own eyes whether he would lose his cool at the last moment and admit that he had not sold the document to the enemy, that someone had stolen it from his mistress's house.But the man still remained silent as he was made to sit and strapped to the chair. He remained silent even when the executioner asked if he had any last words, The executioner and other military officers stepped out of the glass box. They shut the door, and soon poisonous gas began to fill the box. Asad sat Stoic at first, but as the fumes rose in height, enveloping him, he began to writhe in pain, and scream, pulling at the straps to get away. Then he turned to the crowd and his eyes fell on her.“You.” He screamed.The crowd turned to her and
The Bargain I am married
Racheal looked at Maxwell and the flower. They were in a maze. If anyone saw them in here from any of the windows on the top floors of the villa, they would come up with a nasty rumor.She picked up her long floral dress, and turned around.“Wow. Not even a hello.” Maxwell said, hurrying after her. She did not say a word as she tried to find a way out of the maze. She was beginning to get increasingly frustrated as she suspected she had missed her way.“Racheal. Please talk to me.” Maxwell said.Racheal said nothing. This damned man was not letting her concentrate. The longer she spends here, the more chances of someone seeing her here, with her ex walking behind her. She sighed in relief when she saw the guard who had been trailing her. He nodded to her, and started to lead the way out.She began to hurry after him, when she felt Maxwell hold her arm.“Racheal.”She turned around, and smacked him hard across the face.“That is the last time you will touch me. And it is Mrs Sher
The Bargain A black monday?
“Let her go.” One of Racheal’s guards barked at Zuri. “I’ll shoot in two.”Zuri laughed, holding Racheal across her neck. She heard her evil laughter the loudest.“Drop your purse.”Racheal did.“So you think I would come here if I was not sure that you couldn't shoot me?" She laughed again.Racheal realized this was different from the always angry, but calm woman she knew. This was an unhinged Zuri. She thought of hitting the woman with her elbow, and running away. Although her grip was tight, she was not holding any gun or knife to her throat.“You have just two seconds to step away.” her guard repeated.“Well, checkmate!" Zuri said, and held up something in her hand. Racheal looked to her side at Zuri’s hand. She frowned.That thing looked familiar.Years she spent dating a soldier had made her learn about many weapons. She gasped, suddenly realizing that it was a grenade.“Step back, or I’ll blow both of us up.” Zuri screamed.“Do it.’ Racheal shouted at her guards. A woman
The Bargain Don't make me hit you
Zuri walked out another entrance of the mall to the side. Her eyes scanned the cars parked outside. Racheal watched as her eyes fell on a motorcyclist driving in. “Run.” She said.Racheal had no option but to obey. They were cuffed together. They stopped before the motorcyclist who looked at them in shock.“The keys.” Zuri said to him through gritted teeth.He scoffed as if Zuri was a big joke. He took off his helmet and got off the bike.The biker looked around twenty years old with blue eyes like Steffan’s. “Please give her the keys.” Racheal said.The boy looked up at Racheal then. He squinted, and then his eyes widened in recognition. Then he looked from Racheal to Zuri, and his eyes fell on their cuffed hands, and then the grenade.“Give it.” Zuri repeated. The boy placed the key in her hand, and backed away. Racheal realized that Zuri was beginning to make mistakes in her desperation. A modern bike like this will definitely have a tracker on it. This scared boy will tel
