Mirabelle 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

    Rachel"Sebastian!" Mirabelle called in shock, her eyes was round as she stared at Sebastian.He frowned.Mirabelle turned to grandmother Rua, "Grandmother Rua, it is not like that. I just wanted to see the new addition to our family."Grandmother Rua's intense stare didn't falter, "Do you think Elizabeth and I don't have the means to find the hospital she was in? We didn't visit her for a reason!""Grandmother Rua, it is not like that. I didn't mean any harm. Sebastian is exaggerating things." Mirabelle argued.An angry blush coated her cheeks."I didn't tell a single lie." Sebastian said calmly, "I was there.""Stop defaming me!" Mirabelle said with clenched fists.Everyone was looking at her."Shut up! Is that how to speak to your elder?! If you don't know, he and your father are considered the same generation." Grandpa Theo chided Mirabelle with fury."Rachel, is it true?" Grandmother Rua asked.She stopped gazing at Mirabelle. It was like she was too disappointing to look at.The

    RachelMy biological clock woke me up early.I yawned and I got out of bed. The sun's rays peeked into my room through the curtains.My life was smooth-sailing. I did not have anything to do other than surf through the internet.This didn't sit well with me at all.I wanted to have something to do. This idle time didn't agree with my body.In my hazy memories, it seemed like I had a high workload.Maybe this was why I felt unaccustomed.The week at the hospital was spent on my research of this city. I wanted to know about everything so I would not look like a fool later.My research kept me from noticing the harm idleness would cause.The dinner with the family yesterday didn't end on a good note for me.I did not forget the fact that I have to go shopping today with snakes.The painful thing is that the rest of the family didn't see anything wrong with Rosette.I had a feeling that most of her strikes against me would be similar.It would be like hitting me in painful areas without l

    Rachel"Mirabelle, stop talking. She is considered my grandchild too! I have to look out for her in the best way I can." Rosette said in a sobbing voice.'Fight with your mouth, instead of your fist.'This thought suddenly occupied my mind.I could not remember who told me these words but it was the best solution right now.Trying to get physical would do more harm than good.These two can really act.They were just echoing and supporting each other.Murmurs rose from the onlookers."I can't believe it. She looks like a good girl with home training. I can't imagine that her true character is worse than that." A woman wearing a Chinese choesam said to the younger woman beside her.The woman was similar to her in appearance."Mother is right. They are helping her to integrate into higher society but she would rather follow her own decisions instead." The yound lady beside the first woman said with a disdainful snort."I recognize those two. That is Milo's wife, Rosette and his daughter,

    RachelRosette and Mirabelle shopped around for the clothes and jewelries they liked before going to the counter to pay.I waited patiently.Rosette looked at me apologetically as she and Mirabelle walked up to me."Rachel, can I send a quick text message before we go? It won't take too long." She said."It's nothing Rosette. Take your time." I replied before going through something on my phone.Rosette presees something on her phone before keeping it away."Let's go." Rosette said to Mirabelle and I.I found Mirabelle's silence discomfiting.Still, no news means it is good news.There was a bustling restaurants beside the mall we came out of. We did not need to drive anywhere.Before we entered the restaurant, Rosette stopped."I want to get the thing I sent someone." She said and we all stood for a few minutes.Her eyes drifted to me a few times.Is the so called 'thing' she wanted to collect from the unknown person she sent a message to related to me in any way or form?My hands wa

    RachelThe restroom had a signboard to direct where the female section was.I walked to the female section. There was numerous cute cubicles there. I didn't leave any shopping bag outside as I entered a cubicle at random.I don't trust Mirabelle.It was better to be cautious to the very end.I picked a cream gown from the clothes I brought and I changed into it.Putting the noise I made aside, I didn't hear any other noise. Mirabelle should still be standing at the entrance to the female section.I finished changing and I put my dirty clothes into a shopping bag. I had transferred the contents of the shopping bag into the other bags.There was tissue in the cubicle. I cleaned myself up. I was uncomfortable though.I walked out of the cubicle and went straight to the small basin for washing hands.As I washed my hands, I glanced at Mirabelle.She was watching me like a snake."Why did you follow me?" I asked as I took a piece of the tissue beside the ceramic basin.She snorted, "Is thi

    RachelI used my other free hand to grab the shopping bags beside my chair."Rachel, don't be so uncultured. Why would you do this?" Rosette said as she pointed at my hand.She was referring to the hand that had pieces of food in it.Her face wasn't showing a normal expression but she wasn't afraid either. I could see it.Sadly, I knew why she was not afraid of me bringing the food back to grandmother Rua.I don't think anybody saw her put anything in my food.The commotion was huge but nobody mentioned that.I would not believe that Rosette bribed everyone in this restaurant.If I reported this issue to grandmother Rua, it would not end well for me.Firstly, my great grandmother would not think that the feud between me and Mirabelle had gotten to this stage. She would not know that these people were willing to physically harm me for their goals.Moments ago, I thought so too. I was naive.Secondly, Rosette would find a way to turn things around if grandmother Rua found something in t

    RachelA week passed by with no moves from both Mirabelle and her mother.I had a brief window of peace.I used my time to learn more about computers and programs.The knowledge about computers and programs delr familiar to me somehow. It was like I have gone through it in the past.I knew that it might be because of my hazy memories. I must have pursued a career in tech in tech in the past.I was debugging a simple game I made in my room.My phone sounded.I checked and I saw that I had a message from grandmother Rua. She was asking me to come downstairs for something.I stood up and saved my files securely.I locked my bedroom's door after I exited.I was already cautious of Mirabelle and her mother previously. Now that I know that they can go as far as physically harming me to get to their goals, I upped my wariness.Things in these room was important to me, I can not let them destroy it.I came downstairs quickly. I don't know why grandmother Rua wants my presence, I can not slack

    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.
