Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Rae’s POV
I was terrified of Nathan’s sudden outburst even though I know it was totally my fault. But, after everyone’s reassuring along with his constant apology that knew no end I eventually gave in and started trying to get to know him.
Breakfast was different then what I was use to. After I was able to finally use chopsticks, somewhat, I was able to eat my fill. Again the food tasted as if it lacked something but it was far better then what Jeong’s father had served.
After breakfast Jean and Gerald began clearing the table. I wanted to help but Jeong tugged the sleeve of my dress and motioned me to sit.
Jeong leans towards me and whispers “Let them do their job.” as he smiled.
I let out a sigh as I nod to him and watch them clear the table.
Jeong states “I’m glad you’re starting to get the hang of using chopsticks.”
“Yea

The Unwanted Chance Chapter 45: Almost Gave Up the Idea of Soap
Jeong’s POVIt’s been two days since we’ve began talking about Rae making her own soap. She’s practically living in the library while she does her research. The soaps Nathan picked up from the city for the time being works for Rae. She says they aren’t that great, but they are fine.Currently Nathan, Gerald and I take turns keeping Rae company while staying out of her way, in all honesty it’s just an excuse to keep watch over her. I don’t think she will run, but rumors of the Takvorian’s keep reaching my ears. If they so much as try anything I will show no mercy. I am a bit on edge since I still have little to no idea about her powers with the looming threat of the Takvorian’s in the back of my mind. But, with the issue of soap I haven’t even had a chance to bring it up. How could I?Leaning against one of the bookshelves I mindlessly thumb through a book in my
The Unwanted Chance Chapter 46: Meeting the Doctor
Rae’s POV I’ve been so wrapped up with researching possible things to use in soap that I completely disregarded the close proximity of everyone around me. Now when leaving the house to visit this so called natural healer I’m completely aware of how close Jeong is to me. This is the first time he sat next to me in the carriage. Granted this is only the third time being in one with him, but still he’s so close. What do I say to him? Should I say anything? The trip to town was silent and awkward. Luckily the town wasn’t that far from the house. We could have actually walked just fine, was there really a need to use the carriage? Maybe that’s just something rich people are use to. The carriage stopped in front of a small court yard as Nathan jumped down and opened the door. Jeong got down first and Nathan reached his hand towards me helping me down. I jump down with a thud and almost lost my balance but Nathan was quic
The Unwanted Chance Chapter 47: Getting to Know the Doctor
Jeong’s POVIf the soap Rae creates becomes known it could cause problems in the future. Not only will the attention be drawn to her it could jeopardize her safety as I am sure many men would dare challenge me for her. What this man offers is to use himself to hide the fact Rae created the soap giving an added precaution preventing future troubles while reaping the benefits.Should I give in and say yes? I know no other person knowledgeable for the information Rae requires. I glance at Rae and notice she’s fidgeting with the hem of her sleeve. Even though she seems to be hiding her anxiety well from view I can feel it through the bond.Looking over at Dr Willard, he just smiles at me waiting for my decision. “Is there a method in testing possible oils on Rae without injuring her? I’d like to make an informed decision knowing if the oils are something she is or isn’t allergic to. Surely that
The Unwanted Chance Chapter 48: Our First Fight?
Jeong’s POV Dr Willard’s now serious look plastered across his face “And, I would do anything if it meant stopping The Project and reclaiming our world from corruption.” This man seems to be telling the truth, but is he truly against The Project? He hasn’t shown anything to lead me in disbelief. His knowledge would prove quite valuable if we are to move forward with our plan. Having more information against the elite will undoubtedly be in our favor in the future. When pondering the man before me Rae and Nathan walk back into the room. I notice a small bandage peaking out from beneath her sleeve. “Rae, are you ok?” while quickly getting up reaching for her hand. “I’m o k...” she stops and watches me lift her sleeve looking at the bandage around her arm. “What happened?” trying to calm myself while anger wells up inside of me. Rae covers her mouth
The Unwanted Chance Chapter 49: Test Results Are In
Jeong’s POV I left Rae’s room in a silent fit of rage marching down the stairs towards my study. The nerve of that woman willfully allowing herself to be injured. Not to mention Dr Willard’s flirtatious actions. I can’t help but scowl thinking about it. Still in a rage I link Jean “Prepare something for Rae, she hasn’t eaten today.” “Shall I prepare a late lunch for her in the dinning room?” Jean responded. “She’ll be staying in her room.” cutting the link. Upon reaching my study I see Nathan standing near my desk with a few papers in hand. Nathan smiles at me “I thought you would be” Before he could finish I used my power to pin him against the wall squeezing his throat. “You had one job and you failed. Tell me why I shouldn’t rip your head off right here, right now.” Wheezing Nathan tries to speak “I-i-f yo-u j-us-t le-et
The Unwanted Chance Chapter 50: Something Is Wrong
Rae’s POV Waking up sore all over. “Ugh” what is wrong with me? Pushing myself up from the bed I notice I am under the covers. Did I do that or did Jeong? Shaking my head I look towards the window and see the night sky. “I wonder what time it is.” Pushing the covers off of myself and flinging my legs over the side of the bed I wince at the soreness of my body. Why am I so sore? It feels like my body got to much rest, but at the same time doesn’t feel like I got any rest. Glancing at the night stand I see what looks to be a sandwich and a glass of water. Not really feeling like eating right at this moment I force myself up and head to the bathroom. After doing my business, taking a quick shower then getting dressed I’m back in my room. Without thinking I grab the plate of food and drink and head out of the room. I mindlessly find myself walking down the stairs until a light caught my eye from the side of the house I
The Unwanted Chance Chapter 51: Being Overloaded
Rae’s POVJeong almost touching my ear with his lips “Close your eyes.”Closing my eyes I try focusing on his touch, his breath and his closeness. Basically anything to keep myself from drifting off. It may be embarrassing, but at least it’s embarrassing enough to keep me somewhat awake.With his calming voice “I need you to imagine creating a ball of light in your hands.”I think back on my last dream. The joyful little ball of light wanting to play with me.“That’s it, good.” Jeong slowly traces his hands up my arms until they rest on my shoulders. “Now open your eyes.”Opening my eyes I see my little colorful swirl of light hovering just above my cupped hands. No matter how many times I see it I’m still mesmerized by it.While he still held onto me “Do you se
The Unwanted Chance Chapter 52: How Many Orbs of Light Can I Cast?
Rae’s POV “What do you mean you don’t have to worry about me over powering you?” looking at Nathan and Jeong questionably. I can see Gerald and Jeong counting my little orbs of light silently. “Well from what I see, I can tell you have less power then the three of us. Don’t get me wrong, for a woman you’ve already proven that it’s not just men in the top tier. That in itself is something to boast about.” Nathan said with a huge smile on his face. Weird that they measure your power by the amount of orbs you can produce at once. I wonder how many orbs I can actually cast at once if that’s the case. Gerald speaks up “I counted one hundred. How about you?” “Same.” Jeong looks at me quite pleased “You always find ways to impress me Rae.” Glancing to the side staring at an orb close to my face I can’t help but wonder why something as small as this impre

Jeong’s POV The thought of relaxing was cut short when Jeffrey continues to sit there waiting for everyone to leave. He really isn’t going to let this go now is he. Only Jeffrey, Gerald and I are left in the room. Jeffrey lifts an eyebrow motioning to Gerald expecting me to ask him to leave. “There are no secrets between Gerald and I. Whatever you intend to speak about can be said in front of him.” “Very well.” Jeffrey sits up looking at me square in the face. “What is your real purpose? You can’t expect me to believe it’s just to train them for a potential scenario. I went along with it because I know you’re a man with a purpose. Now tell me what is really going on here.” This man holds a lot of weight, if he changes his mind it will severely hurt our cause. “I hope you don’t think I would purposely start a war and put everyone in danger.” “Your reputation suggests otherwise, but one has to

Jeong’s POVBefore we started on the subject of training a knock was heard at the door. Gerald quietly got up and opened it. When I saw it was Jean with a cart full of food, “Let’s take a break and enjoy some refreshments before continuing.” The tense air almost instantly lifted as everyone relaxed into their seats while they began chattering with one another.I watched as Jean made her way to the opposite side of the room but then someone caught my eye. Rae is standing dumbfounded at the door. She asked Gerald something, but I couldn’t make it out. Gerald just laughs as he waves her off before coming to take his seat next to me. I want to say something to her but end up just watching her as she places the trays of food onto the table. When she comes close I was about to reach out and grab her hand, but pulled away before doing so. What if she makes a scene? What if I loose my composure?Sti
The Unwanted Chance Chapter 72: First Official Meeting Started
Jeong’s POVIt’s been two days since the morning I spoke with Rae. Every time I’ve seen her it was either extremely awkward or she’d run away. I hate this so much, but I don’t know what to do in order to change it. Plus I’ve been so busy that I haven’t really had the time to do much. Even today I’m holding a meeting here at the house. I’ve appointed people who are loyal to me knowing what we stand for and what we are trying to achieve over lead positions. They are a mixture of shop owners, elders, and those with the required skills. This marks the first official meeting to which I decided to hold in the formal dinning room. It’s a room rarely used and for the amount of people here its the best option.The meeting has been going on for a good three hours and we aren’t even half way though the agenda. Using drones to create a replica of the land we’ve managed to map out th

Rae’s POVI helped Jean with dinner. Using what was available at the time I made something equivalent to potato salad and deviled eggs with the ranch. She made some of her normal dishes that I said would be fine to go along with what I made. After all was cooked Jean and I started setting the dinning table.Jean left to get the last of the food while I stood there in the dinning room looking at the table. Panic hit me when I heard Jeong’s voice coming from the hallway and without thinking I teleported to my room. Taking a deep breath standing in the middle of my room I place my hand on my chest to feel my erratic heart beat. Shaking my head I can’t help but feel ashamed at myself. I shouldn’t run away from him, I know that, but I’m afraid to face him right now.Jeong’s POVAfter Gerald’s initial shock and the atmosphere lightened, we began to talk about norma

Rae’s POVAfter placing all the different containers of herbs on the counter in the kitchen Henry asks, “What do you plan on doing with those?”With a huge grin on my face, “Care to help me?”Henry’s eyes light up, “With a smile like that how could I say no?”With everything that is going on lately this is a very much needed distraction. I know I need to address what just happened between me and Jeong and figure out what am I suppose to do exactly for the rest, but I welcome this. It’s been so long since I’ve made this and I really hope it turns out. Anything to give a little flavor to the food here. I’m surprised no one has done this and if they did they sure kept it secret.Grabbing a bowl, eggs, vinegar, oil and what I believe is equivalent to a bit of mustard seed I start getting to work.&
The Unwanted Chance Chapter 69: What Should I Do?
Jeong’s POVSitting in my study I can’t help but lean over looking down with my elbows on my desk while I pull my own hair in frustration. Images of Rae’s terrified face after kissing her keeps flooding my mind. What have I done? Moving my hands down to my face I support my chin on my thumbs while rubbing the bridge of my nose with my fingers. What should I do? Will she still be the same or will she distance herself from me now?Nathan and Gerald walk in without even knocking.“Wow, what’s got you all bent out of shape?” Nathan jokes as he sees the state I’m in.Pure annoyance fills within me as I lean back in my chair still pinching the bridge of my nose with one hand. “It’s nothing, I just have a headache.”“Oh really?” Nathan smirks while nudging Gerald.I’m not in the mood for t
The Unwanted Chance Chapter 68: I Just Can’t
Rae’s POVHere I am standing in my own bathroom in Jeong’s arms naked. I was trying to quickly get to the closet to change, but thanks to him I slipped on the wet floor. Now both our bodies are firmly pressed together and I can feel he no longer is wearing any clothes. I can see him looking down with lust in his eyes as he stares at my breasts.I’m frozen stiff. I’m not sure what I should even do. Pushing away from him will give him full view of my body, not that he hasn’t seen it before but… It would also give me full view of his own body in all it’s glory. I watch as he traces his vision upwards until meeting my eyes. I can’t help but get lost in those gorgeous caramel eyes of his. Before I knew it he tightened his grip around my waist pulling me closer. I couldn’t help but gasp at the sudden action. His other hand soon found it’s way up the back of my neck before l
The Unwanted Chance Chapter 67: Are we?
Jeong’s POV“How did? Who told you her name?” There is no way she could have found out my mothers name. Father had everything destroyed and made it like she never existed aside from that painting he keeps in his study.Rae lets out a sigh, “She did last night. That’s when her, Mary and the other woman sprung the bomb on me.”I can’t help but stare blankly at her. Not only does she seem to know about the theory of emotions fueling The Core but also knows about Mary’s sacrifice and my mothers name. Could what she’s saying actually be real? “Hold on, this is a lot for me to process right now. What you’re saying is insane and hard to believe, but you’re also saying things that you should have never known.”Rae uncertain “So… Does that mean you’re beginning to believe me?”“I&r
The Unwanted Chance Chapter 66: He Doesn’t Believe me
Jeong’s POV“You’re wrong!” Rae shouts, completely taking me off guard. “It’s you all who don’t understand!”I’m wrong? I don’t understand? I’ve never seen her behave this way before. What does she even mean? What should I say in this situation? “I’m sorry if I said something that upset you. I don’t quite understand what you mean by not understanding.”Rae looks at me pleading “Women are being sacrificed in vain. The amount of sacrifices is of no use.”I can see tears trying to make their way out of her eyes. Caressing her face I thumb off an escaped tear. “I know dear. I lost my mother remember? Everyone here has lost someone, that’s why we are trying to change everything.”Rae grabs my hand in hers “No, you don’t underst
