Rachel

The 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

    ChaseI was standing across the window in my office as I stared out of the glass blankly.I didn't even know what to think about. Everything was just one big mess.I came to the office in the early hours of the morning. I was the one that opened the doors of the headquarters today.All through yesterday, the search my subordinates conducted ended up with nothing.I kept clenching and unclenching my hand.Rachel was still nowhere to be found.My people did all the things I instructed them to. They blocked the borders and they showed up at the airports too.Still, I could not intercept them.I knew they would have gone far away. Even if they remained in a nearby vicinity, there is no way to track them at all.I could not see any hints of them.These kidnappers are obviously professionals that had been in the business for a long time.I wanted to ask my grandmother where she managed to find those kidnappers but I knew she would not talk.I had to keep my malicious impulses under control.

    RachelFor a moment, I thought I was seeing wrongly.Chief Stone's finger can't be pointing to me.It had to be wrong.I stared at him intensely.Truly, his short finger was pointing straight at me. I was not mistaken at all.The natural fear of the unknown and the Chief's cruelty made me flinch unconsciously.I folded onto myself as I push my body mass against the wall I was leaning on.It can't be.I felt like entering the wall.I did not mean to be pessimistic but I knew there was no way out for me right now.I wasn't seeing any way to escape.I wasn't naive to think that Rufus and his cohorts wouldn't have security patrolling this place."I want that one." The Chief said with a greasy smile on his face.He looked satisfied with his choice.Rufus burst into smiles, "You have good eyes, Chief. We just brought her today. She is new goods. She is pure and untrained, just as you like them."Rufus' words grated against my eardrums and I wished I was deaf.As Rufus spoke, Chief Stone's e

    Rachel"Chief Stone, did I not warn all buyers to be extra cautious?" Rufus said in a calm voice, "It was safety precaution."I can hear the fear hidden in his tone though. It gave me joy.Right now, Rufus and his cohorts was caught unawares.They did not have time to clean the scene or cover up.They wouldn't be able to get out of this one."You are not the one that would tell me this basic fact. I had already taken precautions. How did they find this place?" Chief Stone retorted.Rufus' face was ugly as he watched the policemen file in.I could almost picture how ugly his face would be.I knew it was too late for them to do anything.The police would not give them the chance to escape.I wanted to smile but the pain I was feeling in my body and my bones made me discard that thought."Then, there must be a mole hidden within the group of men working for you. They obviously followed you here." Rufus said with a black face, "Chief, you better hope that we are getting out of this unscat

    RachelMy eyes flew open and I turned my body a bit.I wanted to look at him.My face was clouded with shock and incredulity."What?!" I asked stupidly.I vocalized my shock.My eyes was glued to his figure."What are you talking about?" I repeated as my fingers clutched the blanket that had been used to cover my body.My head throbbed and an ache that felt like it could split my skull into two appeared."Don't get too agitated." Sebastian said with concern.He stretched his hands to support me but I flinched.My injuries caused me to be agitated. My eyeballs hurt a little. It was like I have been staring at electrical screens for hours on end.Sebastian folded his fingers slowly before taking his outstretched arms back.He didn't say anything but I could tell he felt hurt.It might be how familiar and comfortable his face looked to me. I felt like consoling him but I curbed the urge.It seemed like I hadn't learnt a lesson after I was kidnapped.The kidnapping I experienced basically

    Rachel"I want to make a video call to inform my parents about this. What do you think? I don't want to spring your existence on them." Sebastian explained his view, "I don't want them to be too shocked. It is better to inform them in advance."I wanted to refuse but I didn't.I just clenched my hands and gave a brisk nod.Calling them was unavoidable. I was going to be living with them after all.There wasn't any way to avoid this."Okay." Sebastian said with his lips curved upwards in happiness.He brought out his phone and video called someone.I tilted my body to facilitate the sneaky glance I took at his phone screen.It was a little hypocritical to go on a mental charade about Sebastian invading my privacy while I was stealing glances at his phone screen.Still, I didn't regret peeking.I wanted to know who he was calling so I would be able to know how I would act.It was not like I was going to pretend or anything.I just wanted some mental closure.The word mom was spelled on

    RachelA week passed by in a blur.My wounds had healed up nicely.I was a little disappointed because I failed to regain any memories these past few days.It seemed the recovery process would be entirely up to fate.Sebastian's mother and grandmother had made it an unspoken rule for me to call them at least once a day. It wasn't something I can avoid.It was either the call or the option of both of them visiting me.I didn't want to meet them physically so I agreed.I had accepted the fact that I would live with them. It didn't mean I want to rush into their arms.A knock sounded.The person at the other side of the door didn't wait for me to give the go-ahead to enter before coming in.It was rude.I raised a brow.This person did not look like he or she came with good intentions.I dropped the book I was reading to look at the new arrival.Sebastian didn't do anything out of line. He respected my privacy too.This past few days, he had only visited thrice. He registered a sim card

    RachelMirabelle didn't say anything. She just stared at me in shock.It was like she expected me to start spilling my whole life's secret when she extends a fake olive branch."Do I look like a fool to you?" I repeated."What are you talking about?" Mirabelle said as malice flashed across her eyes for a second.The shadow at the doorway paused.I don't think Sebastian knows that I had already seen him.I was going to use this opportunity to show him my attitude.The Claude family should know that I wouldn't bend over to accommodate things beyond my tolerance.I wasn't going to cause trouble but I wouldn't accept trouble finding me either.I was going to fight back if I was pushed to the wall."You came here aggressively and talked about how unfit I was to be your relative. Now, you are trying to be a plastic sister by getting me to reveal my secrets so you could use them to stab me in the back." I shook my head as I spoke, "That's foolish and I would be even more foolish to fall for

    RachelWe left the hospital quickly. A limousine was waiting at the hospital's parking lot. Sebastian and I entered the car. The driver started the car and drove out of the parking space. Soon, we were on our journey. The driver was an expert. The car ride felt like a short stroll. The car stopped. Sebastian looked at me. "We are here." He said before alighting. I came out of the car too. The view before me was breathtaking. A huge mansion was before me. The mansion was tall and wide. The designs and color scheme made the view more unique. "Welcome to my home." Sebastian said as he spread his arms. I nodded in acknowledgement. Sebastian navigated the exquisite greenery in front of the mansion. Looming double doors hid the interior of the mansion from us. He pushed the doors open. Before I could observe the interior of the mansion, a person appeared. I recognized her from the video calls I had been having with the Claude family. It was Sebastian's mother. She was th

    RachelCrack!Something crashed on the floor and then, we all look towards the place the sound came from.My great grandmother was standing there with a look of shock on her face and the plate she was holding was the one that caused the noise. 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 that was present rushed to Grandpa Theo as my great grandmother stared at them blankly.Everyone looked at Grandmother Rua as she stood there in shock. 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. Grandmother Rua had a lounging hall

    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.
