The Bargain You may be pregnant
Racheal was ready to go with Steffan, even though she had to abandon her Asad Achillie project that was in just two days.But Steffan refused.He wanted to be able to search for his sister without worrying about her too.He went off in his Jet, and his father went with presidential guards on another flight.They kept the search hush-hsuh though.The villa was large, and they could not risk anyone alerting the Almirs that they were coming for their son.Racheal paced the living room upstairs in her long nightrobe as she dialed Skylar’s number for the hundreth time.It was still unreachable.Hamza’s phone was now unreachable too even before Steffan left.“Ma’am, would you like to sit down for a bit?” Luna asked.Racheal shook her head, and the movement made her head spin.“Water?” Luna asked, her voice sounding more anxious, as Racheal reached out to hold a sofa for support.“Yes please.” Danna Sherrod’s voice said.Everyone turned to look at her.She still managed to look intimidatingl
The Bargain A pregnancy test
By the next morning, Skylar’s phone was still switched off, and Steffan called to tell her that he had still not found his sister, or Hamza.Racheal stared at the phone after the call, and burst into tears. She was not sure she could forgive herself if anything happened to Skylar. She should have believed her instincts more, and forced Steffan to look for his sister earlier.She sighed, and finally wiped her eyes after an hour. She logged on to the website of a popular shop, and ordered different brands of pregnancy test kits. She walked in to the bathroom with her phone, and turned on the shower. She stepped back, and dialed Jade’s number.“Hey beautiful.’Racheal broke into a fresh set of tears. “Do you think I should still go ahead with the plan?”“Hey. Are you fine?”“No. Skylar is missing.”“Steffan’s sister, who had the wedding three weeks ago?”“Yes.”“My goodness. How bad is it?”“Bad. Steffan and Spencer have been searching all night. I don’t know if I can still continu
The Bargain Skylar's maid
Racheal felt her father’s voice breaking into her head as she returned to the living room. When your mother had these problems,Those words spoiled her relief at the results of the test.Everyone said her mother had difficulty conceiving her. Could she have the same problem as her mother?The thought that she could be that way, bothered her a little. She definitely did not want a child now, but what happens when she wants one and can not have any?She settled to her bowl of yoghurt, and continued to scroll through the health articles. She saw a video and clicked on it, uncaring that her maids were in the room. She froze when the doctor said a PT can only accurately detect pregnancy after fourteen days of conception. If she wanted accurate results, she would have to go to the hospital for a blood test.She immediately lost appetite for the yoghurt, but somehow, she forced herself to continue eating. She was so dumb. She would definitely go to the hospital for a test after tomorrow
The Bargain Thalia back at the presidential villa
Racheal dialed Steffan’s number frantically, as she forwarded the image Luna, who had gone home with Skylar’s maid, sent her.She remembered the maid clearly, although she was not sure that she had ever gotten the young woman’s name. She was just as devoted to Skylar as Leah and Luna were to her. She had brought the phone to her on Skylar’s engagement when Skylar had called her crying. Her heart twisted as she remembered Skylar's sobs over the call.“How are you, Racheal?”Steffan sounded so beaten and tired, his voice was subdued.“I am fine. Listen carefully. Do you remember Skylar's maid?”“Yes.” His voice had come alive.“Luna and Leah ran into her. She found a trashed itinerary of Skylar’s honeymoon, days after Skylar left. It was half burned, but the last few places they would be heading to are still visible. I just forwarded the image to you.”“Well done baby.”Racheal took the phone off her ear as she heard the sound of the call disconnecting. She collapsed into her seat
The Bargain Racheal sneaks off with Jade
Racheal hardly slept the whole night. She woke up the next morning with a fear that they might never find Skylar, or if they did, it would be too late.She forced herself out of bed. It was a good thing she had somewhere to be today. If she had to stay home all day again today waiting for news, she would go crazy.She turned on a cold shower and stepped under it. When she first got here, she was so used to living alone, now the house felt empty without Steffan.She sobbed in the shower a long time, and finally stepped out.—-----------------------RachealHeading for yours now.07:30—-----------------------She texted Jade, and began to get ready. She looked for something beautiful that was appropriate for visiting, but she could run in if she had to run too.She grabbed a pink wrap romper, and a pair of black lace-up boots. She dressed up quickly, and applied a coat of concealer under her eyes, to cover the signs of her sleepless nights.She stared at herself in the mirror. Th
The Bargain Asad Achillie is here
“What are we looking for again?” Jade asked as they slowly drove past the house with the address Chloe had given her.Racheal looked at the modest duplex, with an open garage.It was exactly the way she had imagined the house a mistress would keep would look like.“Chloe’s car is in the garage, she is in.” Racheal said, as Jade stopped the car in front, three houses away from Chloe”s, on the opposite side of the street.“How do you know what her car looks like? How did you guess she had an open garage so we would be able to see if her car was in or not?” Jade turned to look at her, bemused.“It was all a long shot in the dark,” She replied.She was just happy everything was working so far.“And I checked her social media page. I saw what kind of car she drove.”Jade turned to stare at the house through the rearview mirror.Racheal thought Jade was very smart. They could not draw any attention since they were not even parked facing the house.“If she leaves, we will tail her, and she w
The Bargain I have to go in
“What do we do now?” Jade asked, turning to look at Racheal.“I have to go in.” She said, already opening the door.“I will come with you.” Jade said.“That would be too suspicious. I will wait for you to get back to the car, then I will dial your number and put my phone in my purse so you can hear me.”She thought of Steffan, he might call, and her line would be engaged.He can wait. She did not think he would find Skylar in the ten minutes it would hopefully take her to get the permit, and get out.Jade looked down at the straw purse her friend was holding, and nodded.“Racheal.” She called as she got out of the car.She looked back.“Your scarf.”Racheal paused, and remembered.She felt her head and took the scarf off and gave it to Jade.Then she opened the door, and looked up at the front windows of Chloe’s house.All the blinds were drawn shut. She looked down the road, the street was still quiet.She casually walked out of the car, past the well-tended lawns and up to Chloe’s f
The Bargain We found Skylar
“You wouldn’t dare.” Racheal said, as she felt the jagged edge of the knife scrape her skin lightly.If there was anything she realized after two months in Yin, she was valuable, and she doubted anyone would really risk harming her. There was Steffan’s wrath to think of too.Chloe let out a laugh.“You are trespassing on my property. I can do anything I want with you.” She whispered, moving her face close to Racheal’s. Racheal stared in the woman’s green eyes. She did not like what she saw there.Chloe had the knife too close to her throat for her to move though. Or she could just take a risk and step back. She doubted the woman would hurt her, but what if she was a crazy person like Thalia? She might just hurt her, damning all the consequences.She felt the woman’s hand settle on her hips. She winced. “Stop.” She hissed.“Does Steffan stop when you ask him to?”“Not that it’s any of your business, but yes.” She wondered what everyone’s deal was with Steffan. It was sick that th
