Rachel

The fury within me was bubbling. Still, I curbed the urge to lash out.

I had to constantly remind myself that Patricia was not worth it. I should not stress myself over her.

The reason I was more susceptible to rage is because of Chase. I thought he was the one that called my phone.

The pain of my hopes dashing into nothingness fostered my anger.

"I am sorry. My hands are tied, I can not do anything to help you. Still, I accept your apology." I said curtly before removing the phone from my ear.

My hand hovered above the red button that would end the call.

"Wait!" Patricia yelled and I stopped.

Her voice was loud enough to grate my eardrums even as I had distanced the phone from my ear.

"Patricia. I don't have time to entertain you." I commented in a cold tone.

I was being benevolent by exchanging a few non-lethal words with her.

For a person that harmed me, I had tolerated enough.

My patience was already stretched to its limits.

"Rachel, I am really sorry for acting against you

    RachelToday was the day I would demand an explanation from Chase. I had used yesterday as a rest day.I did my chores and I freshened up.Norman wasn't going anywhere today so I borrowed his car.I was still on my leave.I didn't rush or panic. I got to Steel Cell Group's premises within fifteen minutes.I did not have time to greet the receptionist or socialize. I went straight to Chase's office.I stood outside his office for a brief moment. Then, I took a deep breath and knocked the door.I did not wait for him to give me the signal to enter before letting myself in.His head rose sharply and the hard contours of his face was set in a frown. His lips was parted in preparation to scold me for my disrespect.I did not wait for him to call me in before barging my way into his office. That was blatant disrespect to Chase.No matter how kind Chase is to his employees, he had some lines that he forbade them from crossing.My action was one of the taboos.His words died in his mouth when

    RachelAfter we got the misunderstanding out of the way, I happily left Chase to his work.Now that everything had been resolved, I knew Chase would call me or text me when he is less busy.There was no need for me to be too stubborn. I did not want to stay in his office and obstruct his work.I got to my family house with happiness radiating off me.Tomorrow, I was going to go to work. I don't care if I had used up the required off days that Chase had given me or if I had not.I sat on the chair at the living room. The soft material caressed my skin.I groaned in comfort before switching to a tv channel that I liked.My mother came down from the upper floor.She was a freelance content creator and blogger so she stays at home frequently.She was the person a visitor would have a higher chance of seeing whenever the visitor comes to our house.She liked traveling or strolling once in a while.She was holding a laptop with one hand.Her other hand was typing swiftly on the keyboard."Y

    RachelDays flew by and the chosen time for the employees' event to hold was here.I was already looking forward to a day I and Chase could relax.Chase was powerful. I knew this but even the most powerful elephant can be ravaged by a million ants.No one was all-powerful. Only God can satisfy those conditions.Chase was still mortal.Since he came back, he was just focused on stabilizing the Steel Cell Group.These past few days, our only way of hanging out with each other was through the phone. It was always through texts and video calls.Although I was working with him, there wasn't any space to just be alone with each other. I was the person that was closest to him but we were behaving like we were strangers that was poles apart.His work was really tedious.I did not want to disturb him so I bottled all my grievances inside me. This is the reason why I was looking forward to this outing very much.I would not be working and I would be able to spend quality time with my boyfriend.

    RachelThe two hours spent on the journey moved slowly.My numb buttocks sent signals of help once in a while.Chase texted me that he was already at the hot spring resort. We would meet there.My mind strayed to the thoughts of Julie.Seeing Julie just as I was about to go somewhere to relax had the opposite effect. I was anything but relaxed right now.I was tensed.Not knowing what she was at Steel Cell Group for made me uneasy.I shook my head to clear my thoughts.I was supposed to be on a relaxing trip at an hot spring resort. I don't want to spoil the fun I would get by entertaining thoughts of Julie.I will not ignore the threat she might pose to me but I wasn't going to make all my thoughts about her either.That would be giving her a win. Even if it was a twisted kind of win she didn't know about.A light rap sounded on the window directly behind me. I turned to look.Mr Briggs was standing there. He was smiling at me."Miss Rachel, it looks like you have an habit of going o

    ChaseI concentrated on my work. I wanted to finish all the things I had to do as soon as I can so I could accompany my baby.Rachel would soon be done with the game they were playing.I had to be done with my work before she arrives.My family, the Williams had billions in wealth and assets.Everybody in the Williams family could survive numerous lifetimes on the wealth we have accumulated across the years alone.Still, each of our generation could not avoid manning the helm of the Steel Cell Group.There was no way to avoid the work and I wasn't willing to let this whole heritage disappear.Besides, I was willing to work hard to provide more for Rachel.I had to make her as comfortable as she can be in this life.It was my duty.A small smile tugged at my lips at the thoughts of Rachel.She was a light that was lighting up the gross darkness I was steeped in.I was not going to ever let her go.Getting away from me would just be wishful thinking on her part.I did not want to bother

    RachelAs I walked away from the hall Chase booked for himself, I felt my heart send signals of pain to my brain.I could not breath.Something that was second nature to me before became unfamiliar.I went back to the hot spring section Chase had booked for the normal employees.I don't know where he situated the higher ups and I did not care to know.It felt like the evil glee in Julie's eyes kept mocking me repeatedly.For a moment, the logical part of my brain turned off.I just wanted to curl into myself and cry.I did not take Chase to be this kind of person.I knew that what I saw might just be what Julie wanted me to see.Still, my heart pulsated in intense pain.I could not stand it.I could not stand seeing Chase with another woman.He was mine.When I was leaving, I heard footsteps following me. I knew that Chase was chasing after me.I knew he wanted to explain but I did not want to see him right now.I found a secluded corner to stay when I got to the section Chase booked

    RachelOnly God alone would be able to save her from Chase's claws."She wanted to cause misunderstanding between us. She wanted to do what was beyond her reach." Chase said.His words sent shivers through my body but it was not in a spine-chilling way.I shrugged the feeling away.Still, an angry Chase was enthralling.I folded my hands and moved closer to the wall.I rested some of my weight on the wall.Immediately I moved, Chase's eyes followed me like an hawk.His attention and fear made a sprout of happiness grow.I straightened my lips.I was enjoying this way too much.I don't know where the person that was wallowing in sadness and pain just moments ago went.The moment I figured everything out, I felt refreshed.I even had the time to observe Chase carefully."I know." I said.I didn't say another word."I know you are angry and I under—" Chase started before he trailed off.He stared at me in shock.Chase normally hides his emotions and thoughts behind his dark pupils.This

    RachelThe night flashed by.I wished it would have been slower.That physical and soulful connection Chase and I shared was something I wanted to experience again and again.I don't know if it is because of my tiny bit of inferiority.I sometimes feel like I did not deserve Chase at all so I wanted to feel his touch every now and then.It might not necessarily be sexual intimacy.Talking to him while leaning on his body, going for walks and just sleeping side by side was things I look forward to.I sat up and stretched.Chase beside me. He was already awake.He was just watching me unblinkingly.It was like I was a rare find.I cleared my throat, "Why are you staring?"He chuckled as his hand rose to my cheeks. He rubbed them a little.The little blush on them spread like a prairie fire."I am looking at something beautiful." Chase replied with a smile.The scenes from yesterday's passionate night rushed to my mind again and my blush deepened.My thoughts can be traitorous.It would

The whole hall was in a pandemonium.We were panicking and everybody was shocked. It was like everything wasn't real.

The males of the family grabbed my great grandfather and cleaned his stained face.The women wasn't idle.Rosette brought her phone out and dialed a number."Hello, doctor. Father collapsed!" She said in panic.She kept stealing glances at Grandpa Theo."Where are you? You have to take him to a clean and noiseless environment. The most probable thing that could have caused his collapse is an heart issue." The doctor advised."Okay, doctor. Please, come righ

    RachelThe D-day finally arrived. Mirabelle's engagement party was holding today.Rosette was like a mama bear. She was involved in everything.She took precautions against me.Everytime I see her try to make me avoid anything related to Mirabelle's engagement party, I wanted to laugh.She was behaving like I was the bad guy.I did not have enough time for myself. Why would I chose to disturb Mirabelle's life instead?Mirabelle's engagement was held in the hall my introductory banquet was held in.Life can be very ironical sometimes.I am sure the hall gave Mirabelle bad memories. It was the source of her ruin after all.I left my room in my outfit.Thanks to Grandmother Rua, everybody in the family that was going to attend the engagement party had to wear beautiful clothes.She wanted to make this day a memorable day for Mirabelle.I headed towards the hall.I had delayed my appearance in the banquet for as long as I could.Grandmother Rua had sent a text message.I can't refuse to s

    RachelThe days flew by quickly.The chosen date for Mirabelle's engagement was approaching.Mr Poyles refused to budge on this matter. The wedding was up to us but the engagement party was a must.I knew what he wanted.As long as Mirabelle is associated with him, the Claude family would do the wedding.They would not be able to lie like that.Public opinion can be very fatal.Sebastian had been very busy so I didn't see him often. If I saw him, it would be a brief meet and greet.Grandpa Theo had reduced the number of times he would go downstairs to relax.Nowadays, he would stay in his study for a long time.The incident Mirabelle caused really affected him negatively.I came out of my room and I headed to the North Wing of the mansion.I wanted to spend some time with Grandmother Rua.She didn't show any outward signs but I knew she was like Grandpa Theo.She was affected by the mess Mirabelle caused.Grandpa Theo's study was near his bedroom.

    RachelEverybody that had witnessed Mirabelle's slipup took their seats. The silence hanging in the atmostphere was choking.Mirabelle and Mr Poyles came downstairs to join us after wearing some clothes.After Mr Poyles took his seat, my great grandfather leveled his gaze at him."What do you want? Name your terms and we would satisfy it. You have to delete the pictures and videos you took if we agree on a deal." My great grandfather started.The aura of power he had gained from navigating the business life spilled out.Mr Poyles didn't flinch. He straightened his posture while returning my great grandfather's gaze.His demeanor was neither servile or overbearing."I want to marry her." His voice rang out.I knew he would not choose me. I have fooled his plans.Still, for a businessman like Mr Poyles, I feel like his company comes before his desires.He knew what he had access to and he was going to keep clamping on the Claude family's flesh till they give him something.The benefits

    RachelHer scream pierced through the dreary atmostphere.I rubbed my ears to relieve the sharp ringing I felt when Mirabelle screamed.Her voice woke Mr Poyles up.He surveyed the room.His eyes widened when he saw Mirabelle beside him. His gaze stared on me for a brief moment.His eyes reminded me of a wild wolf.He didn't show any other signs of shock.He came down from the bed and went to the area his rumpled clothes were.Nobody stopped him because it seemed like he wanted to get his clothes.Mr Poyles found his phone from his wrinkled pile of clothes.He pressed something on the phone before aiming his phone's camera at the scene in the room.The sound of the camera capturing pictures was loud.He took photos of the unpresentable bed and he didn't forget to get some photos of himself.Mirabelle was captured by his phone's camera too. She didn't have time to cover her bare body before Mr Poyles took a photo of her.After taking a few pictures, all of us snapped to our senses.Mir

    RachelMy words sent everyone into a frenzy.The worry in their eyes was clear. These people really cared about Mirabelle and their love would not change even with my arrival.They had brought her up after all. She had been their adored princess before I came.I don't know why Mirabelle failed to see all this. There was no need to attack me.I didn't like trouble and I stayed on my lane.We would have stayed in the Claude family peacefully.Now, it had come to this and there was no way back.The moment they decided to give me away to Mr Poyles, they had cut off any chance for us to reconcile."Where could she be? Is she resting in her room?" Grandpa Theo asked.He beckoned to the butler."Go and check Mirabelle's room. She might be relaxing in her bedroom and we would be here panicking." He instructed.The butler nodded respectfully before exiting the all.Silence reigned.A few minutes later, the butler came back. Mirabelle wasn't with him and his face was scrunched up in worry."Mis

    RachelDragging a grown woman was a little tedious but I managed to do it. I was subtly supporting her and the ground did most of the work.The whole time, my heart was in my throat. There was a higher chance that my plan would fail.Thankfully, it didn't.Mirabelle was a little gullible.How can she follow a server out because an unknown gentleman sent her a private gift. I noticed something about Mirabelle.She liked to be adored. She wants people to like her presence.Still, I could understand why she didn't think too much before following me. The wine she drank had a great part in her decision.Before I could even serve her any wine, she had been taking some from the other servers. It was like the wine was an equivalent for water.I searched my memory for room Mirabelle had lured me to. I brought her there.The door was locked and there was no key in the keyhole.Mirabelle must have removed it.I dropped her and searched her body. I did not find anything.The key wasn't on her bod

    RachelThe doors leading to the hall was open.I glanced at the hall's interior.Mirabelle was back in the hall. I don't think the rest of the Claude family had discovered her yet.I would have let this incident go bit I had boundaries. Trying to get someone to rape me was sick and I was going to pay her back in her own coin.She would stop trying to attack me like a rabid dog after this.These people would continue to think I was a pushover if I let this matter go.I gesticulated to get a server's attention.The server looked worried. She brought her empty tray and came to me quickly.She must be conjuring various reasons for me right now. I felt sorry for what I am about to do to her but I really need her help.Her uniform would go a long way in realizing my plan.I left the entrance of the hall and stood in the hallway.The female server approached me with the worried expression still on her face."Is there something wrong, ma'am?" She asked.I shook my head, "I just need a favor f

    Rachel"Mirabelle told you to wait here?" I asked.I stayed where I was.I did not take any more steps into the room.I bit my lips.I was gullible.I thought leaving the party early would put a stop to the schemes of Mirabelle and Rosette.I finally knew where the slimy gaze from the party came from."Yes, she said you would be here." Mr Poyles replied.He was sitting on the only bed in the room."What do you think is going to happen by waiting here?" I asked.My hands touched the pen knife I strapped to my thigh."Miss Rachel, you are the one I would be with in this life. The moment I saw you, I knew you were the one." Mr Poyles replied.I smelled a particular scent.It was coming from an incense burner beside the bed.The scent caused my mouth to go dey.For some reason, the scent gave me bad memories.Some images flashed in my mind. The memories wasn't as clear as I would want it to be but it gave me all the information I need.The scent coming from the incense was an aphrodisiac.
