The Bargain Dinner with Delbert
Racheal picked up her phone, as she rolled tiredly out of bed. She also picked the bouquet of roses, and brought it up against her nose as she called Steffan’s phone. It was out of reach. She grabbed a robe from the closet, and took the flowers downstairs as she dialed his number again.The call still did not connect.“Ma’am.” Leah appeared at the foot of the stairs, looking to see if she needed any help. Racheal stretched the flowers to her. “Please put these in a vase.” She said, Leah took it and bowed, heading to the kitchen. Racheal followed behind.“When did Steffan leave?” She asked.“About an hour ago,” Luna appeared. Racheal turned to her. “Did he say anything to you, leave any message for me?” She asked, and glanced down to check her phone for the time.Her phone beeped with a new message.—------------------------DelbertI will pick you up in about an hour 💓💓16:50—------------------------“No Ma’am.” Luna responded. Racheal turned around. “Put the roses on my n
The Bargain Cousins
Dellbert looked shocked, and then hurt.“Don’t do that. I am the victim here," Racheal said.He was frowning at her in confusion. She picked her glass up and took a sip. “It was so easy. It could have been so easy to say we are both from the Auclair family.” She said, staring in his eyes.She saw him inhale sharply, his eyes widening a little in shock.“Racheal,” he said, and reached out to take her hand again on the table. She pulled it back.“Why did you not say it?”“Racheal. I…” He stopped.“It’s fine if you do not want to talk. I will go visit your grandmother tonight. Or should I say Maeva Auclair.” “Don’t be like this.” Delbert said, distressed. “Don’t be like what?” She said angrily, her voice getting loud. She stopped, trying to calm herself down as she felt some eyes turn to glance at them.“I don’t have much to quarrel with you for. Your grandmother is the one who has questions to answer," She added more calmly. “I am only hurt that I called you friend, and you kept su
The Bargain Racheal confronts Madam Dalloz
Racheal stared at Delbert. She moved her chair back noisily, and stood up.“Madame Dalloz used me, she put me in severe danger for whatever reason, she cannot get away with it.” Racheal said, looking down at Delbert.“Racheal. You cannot…” Delbert was saying. She did not wait for him to finish before she turned and hurried out as everyone stared after them. How had she been so foolish?All these months she had sought out the woman’s advice. She thought the Dallozs were her friends, her allies, and were trying their best to get her out of here. She had no idea they were her biggest enemies. They had actually brought her here to use her.Marry Delbert, that was the ultimate plan? Why, so she could put him or his father in Spencer's seat.Racheal ran as soon as she was out of the building. She looked around for Isaac. She wanted to get to the Dallozs mansion before Delebert could stop her from confronting his grandmother.“Ma’am.” Isaac appeared beside her. “Where are the cars?”
The Bargain You ungrateful child
Madame Dalloz frowned, her jaw trembling.“You are just like your mother. Stubborn, carefree and never listens. I had to befriend Roni because that was the only way to get you out of there. The marriage too was the only way to get you out of there. If you stuck to the plan you would never have had to suffer.”Racheal laughed loudly.“I would never have suffered? The day I met you was the day I was framed and taken hostage, and you did not even know it.” Racheal said. “If I was truly your priority like you claim, it would not have taken you three days to notice I was missing.”“But I rescued you in the end. Delbert did his best to bring you out of that place.” Madame Dalloz said, wincing.The butler who was hovering around, came forward to ask if she needed anything. Madame Dalloz waved him away. Racheal stared at her, not feeling any pity towards her. She was just sixty, she might as well be putting on an act again.“So I have to give you a medal for taking me out of the unnecessary
The Bargain Spencer's resort
Racheal walked past the butler who ran the opposite way towards where Delbert was screaming. As she stepped out the door, she saw the Dallozs security guards hurrying in.She saw her guards looking back towards the mansion in confusion at all the commotion. She walked towards her car, but she ignored the door Isaac pulled open for her, and went around the car.“Step out.” She said, pulling the chauffeur’s door open.“Ma’am.” She heard Isaac say.“Get out.” She screamed at the chauffeur who sat stunned, looking at her. He hurried out, and she got in and turned on the car.“Ma’am.” Isaac said again in panic as he shut the door he had been holding open for her. She took her foot off the breaks. She had not driven in years, she had not needed to.She set the car in motion, and started to drive away. But Isaac was quick. He grabbed the passenger door, and practically fell into the car. She increased her speed, dodging cars as she joined the traffic on the road.“Ma’am. This is dange
The Bargain I have bad news
“Racheal.” She heard Steffan scream behind her when she was several feet away from the building. It seemed his voice was all her body needed to swing into action.Because she picked up her dress and ran. She did not stop, and soon left Isaac behind even in her heels. She fell into the car, and locked the doors. She sped away just as Isaac reached the car.She drove fast to Jade’s house, forcing herself not to think. If she let her mind think, she would definitely get into an accident.Her purse on the floor of the car was vibrating. She ignored it and focused on the road ahead. She could not remember the last time she had driven herself alone. She was not even sure that had ever happened. By the time she was old enough to drive, Roni had been a president, and on days she was allowed out of the palace, she was heavily guarded.She had learned to drive just because it was a nice-to-have skill for children of such an influential family.She hoped no cop would pull her over, because
The Bargain A Broken Promise
Rachel Rana parted the amber coloured curtains of her bedroom window and stared outside. The crowd at the city square, just outside the presidential palace, was increasing in size. They looked similar to the crowds that had gathered at this same spot in the past, tired, passionate eyes and hungry looking. But now they were happy, waving olive branches in the air and shooting fireworks. She spun around at the sound of her door opening. She was relieved to see Maxwell."Is it over?" She asked slowly, releasing the curtain she had been clutching in her grasp. "Yes." He responded. And she ran into his arms happily. She hugged him tight, the moment felt surreal. There had been rumors that the war that had raged the country for five years was coming to an end. Even Maxwell, a palace guard high up in the presidential palace had told her as much, but it had been almost too much to hope for."It feels surreal. Now we can leave and really live" she said softly withdrawing from the embrace
The Bargain I cannot stand the sight of her
Racheal waited nervously the whole night and most part of the next morning for her father's return. As the president's daughter she understood politics, and could not share in the joy of her countrymen. This proposed marriage was no beautiful union or an example to emulate as the local and international media was making it out to be. She was sitting out on the balcony when she heard heavy boots approaching from within her room. She stood up in panic when she saw the white uniforms and black hats. Two men reached out and grabbed her arm, while the third man said,"We are here to escort you Miss. Your father ordered you'd be brought up immediately." Racheal recognised him as the chief guard in charge of her father's personal security. "But I am not even properly dressed." She argued weakly as they half dragged her out from the balcony into her room. She had only grey shorts and a black tank top on. The men completely ignored her protests and practically marched her up to her fathe
