Rachel

I could sense that Chase was in a hurry to do something about the message that was pinned to the group chat.

I did not want to waste his time so we hurried into the house.

If I did not meet Norman on my way to change, I would not specially look for him.

Time was tight.

I had already made up my mind to tell Norman about the relationship between me and Chase later.

As soon as I rushed inside the house, I saw Norman on the couch watching a football game.

He was extremely focused but when I came in, he looked towards me.

He stared at my face for a second before his eyes dropped to my hands.

I and Chase's hands was clasped together.

Norman tilted his head to the side on confusion.

Thankfully, Norman was accessable.

I did not have to look for him in my haste.

"Norman, Chase and I are in a relationship. We are planning to get married too." I announced.

It felt like I dropped a bomb.

Norman blinked rabidly in shock.

"What?!" He finally voiced out.

"Don't be too shocked. Calm down." I s

    RachelChase's words basically confirmed my guess and I was finally free to be happy now.It felt like it was yesterday that Chase and I confirmed our relationship.Now, we were going to announce our relationship.We were going to let the world know about us.Unconsciously, a smile adorned my lips.I did not want to disturb Chase and his preparations.I just sat on the Chair and watched him.His phone rang.Chase picked the call."Sir, the meeting is about to hold. It is going to be held in Hall 2A. I have contacted reporters and the media. The necessary personnel are already present." Mr Briggs said."Okay, I will be there." Chase replied before hanging up.He looked at me, "Rachel, let's go."I nodded and I rose to my feet.We walked to Hall 2A.Chase strode in confidently and I copied his actions.There was a long table that gleamed with a bright light and black chairs surrounding the table.There was only one chair at the head of the table.The table and the chairs framing it remi

    RachelChase led me to the huge doors of the exquisite mansion before us.He didn't get to do anything before the door swung open.A middle-aged man with a polite smile held the door open.He was in uniform that had just two colors, white and black.His black hair was slicked back with gel.There was not anything out of place with his dressing, expression and actions."Master, you are back." He greeted and Chase nodded in acknowledgement."Where is grandmother?" Chase asked as he folded the sleeves of his white shirt.He had discarded the suit jacket ages ago.He left the suit jacket in the car."Old Madame and Madame are in the living room." The butler said.The butler began to lead the way.Chase and I followed silently.Chase held my hand.I did not know that a tiny layer of sweat had gathered in my palm."Don't be nervous." Chase consoled me again.I nodded and he squeezed my hand in encouragement.I smiled at him.Soon, we arrived at the living room.The moment I entered the livi

    RachelThe brief holiday Chase and I took was finally over.It was time to resume work again.Today had been tedious.Chase and I was extremely busy.We didn't know the immense workload that was waiting for us after the holidayAfter working for hours, Chase and I only had a brief moment to share an encouraging kiss.Then, we threw ourselves back into our work again.I looked at the wristwatch on my wrist.I heaved a sigh of relief when I caught sight of the time.It was time for my 30 minutes lunch break.I wanted to get Chase something.My heart ached as I stared at his working figure.I don't know why he was working this hard. I don't know if it is my narrow-minded view that was influencing me.I felt like Chase was stressing himself unnecessarily.He had wealth that would last for generations.He could work but it shouldn't be a do or die matter.He didn't even look like he notices that it was time for a lunch break.He was typing something into his computer.He did not ask for fo

    RachelThe rest of the day passed by uneventfully.All I could see was work, work and more work.Soon, it was time clock out.My formal clothes was still at my parents' house so I had to go back home.I haven't migrated all my belongings to Chase's mansion yet.Chase offered to drive me but I refused.I could see the darkened area beneath his eyes.He was overworking.I did not want to stress him by letting him drive me home.He would have to go to his mansion again this evening.He could have called his driver but his driver had an emergency so he was given three days off.I had to persuade Chase to go home to rest.Tomorrow, I would stop the habit of overworking that he had.I didn't mind arguing.Seeing him behave like there was hounds on his tail made me sad.I noticed that he always tried to keep my workload light. Even with his consideration, my work was still tiring.I can not fathom how his own workload would affect him.Before I left the office, I told Chase about his grandmo

    ChaseEver since I experienced the hellish situation abroad, I always knew the only person I could trust with my life is myself.I had to have power.Money, charisma and many more are components of power.It was one of the minor reasons I work hard.Nobody like a leader that slacks off.I can not let the wealth my family stockpiled deceive me.I had to get involved in the business personally. It was the only ways I could achieve connections and build my power base.A boss with only money but no practical knowledge is just a rich cow that would bleed dollars under his or her subordinates' schemes.My subordinates know me. I can be kind and I can be a nightmare.I don't like giving second chances too.Being ruthless had its perks.The major reason I work had would always be Rachel.A smile appeared on my lips at the thought of Rachel.She was so cute.I wasn't a machine.Working hard because of a multi-billionaire seal that was coming our way caused exhaustion.I had noticed Rachel's wo

    Chase"What?!" I asked as I approached him speedily.For a brief second, I thought I heard my head ring."Sir, Miss Rachel is missing." Mark repeated.No.How can she go missing?"You were supposed to protect her. Why did I put you in charge of her safety if I knew you would be this useless?" I asked in a murderous voice.I searched my pockets for my phone but it wasn't there.It can't be.I put my phone in my pocket when I alighted from my car.If it fell, I would have noticed.There was only one way my phone disappeared as soon I entered this mansion.Someone took it.The only person that had bodily contact with me was my mother.I leveled my gaze on her.At the same time I came to a realization, Mark's voice sounded."I am sorry sir." Mark apologized, "I saw Miss Rachel helping a little kid that had lost her parents search for them. They went into a bookstore near the company. When I was about to go check how Miss Rachel was doing, old Madame called me. She said she needed me there

    RachelA banging headache assaulted me the moment I regained consciousness. I didn't move. I laid in the position those kidnappers put me. I was in a moving vehicle and everywhere was dark. Only a little bit of the red sun that was setting slipped into the vehicle once in a while. I felt anger when I recalled how I got here. I was just trying to do good works. I regretted it so much. I was not opposed to a person doing good works but I had to wonder. Why did I give in to this particular urge? I was hungry and weak. I had exhausted all my strength trying to escape those men. My resistance didn't get me anywhere because they outnumbered me. They came prepared. I could not wrap my head around my situation. Mark was supposed to be watching me. Why didn't I see any hints of his figure when I was in the process of being abducted. The painful thing is that, Chase didn't pick my call. I had opened my eyes but I closed them back at my sad thought. Chase used to pick my call on th

    RachelThe helplessness of my current situation washed over me.I tightened my clenched hands.I can't give up now.As long as there is hope, I can do anything.I would be truly helpless if I just gave up like this.Chase would have been looking for me, not to talk about my parents too.I could remember how frightened my mother had been when I didn't come home for a night.I smiled wryly.I had promised my mother that I would give always give her an heads-up whenever I would stay the night outside our home.I had broken my promise unwillingly.I can not imagine how worried and stressed she would be at my absence."Hey Rufus, is that girl awake?" Jace asked and Noami hummed in agreement."I gave her a huge dose of chloroform, she is not going to wake up anytime soon." Rufus, the second man in the van said leisurely.The breath I was holding finally came out in a calm and slow exhale.Thankfully, they didn't come to where they put me to confirm that statement.I felt a creepy gaze on my

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.

    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.
