Chapter 50: Something Is Wrong
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Rae’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

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

Rae’s POVGerald just asked Nathan to help me hit the target before walking off with Jeong to the other side of the room to talk. Now I’m stuck with Nathan. Is he really able to help me as I eye him from top to bottom before coming back up to his eyes.Nathan is scratching his head “So” before putting on a huge uneasy smile “How’s it going?”“It’s going.” I cross my arms looking at him unbelieving “So what’s your idea on how I can hit that target over there? Obviously a fire ball is out of the question.”“Go Go Rainbow Sprinkle Attack!” as Nathan strikes a weird pose.I cringe when I see him, he would even put my beloved anime to shame.“What? You don’t like that one? How about this?” he straightens his stance before mimicking a praying monk “Oh G
The Unwanted Chance Chapter 54: My First Lesson
Jeong’s POVWhen entering through the back door I motion Rae to take a seat at the kitchen table. Just as soon as Rae sat down Jean brought over a few plates of food.“Thank you” Rae said with a smile before digging in.Jean brings over another plate while pulling the chair out for me to sit “Thanks Jean, but I’ve already eaten.” Turning to Rae “Don’t forget to come to my study when you’re done.”Rae nods her head while chewing her food and continuing to eat.I don’t mind, she hasn’t eaten in over a day. Her body needs as much nutrition as she can get right now to combat the overload effects.Leaving the kitchen I head towards the sitting room. Upon reaching the sitting room I see Dr Willard casually thumbing through a book. “Good morning Dr Willard. I apologize for your wait, my me
The Unwanted Chance Chapter 55: Last Test Before Soap
Rae’s POV It’s been a week and Dr Willard has been here every day teaching me about the benefits of plants from this world. With his help I’ve even managed to figure out the saponification values of the oils I intend to use. Currently Dr Willard and Nathan are both in the library with me. Dr Willard with a sad expression “My Dear, you’ve picked everything up so fast that I have nothing left to teach you. Even your notes put me to shame.” Thumbing through the collection of notes I’ve been meticulously compiling over the last week. He let’s out a sigh, “It saddens me that I may no longer have an excuse to come visit you.” Nathan is leaning over my shoulder looking at my notes “I still can’t understand a thing written there.” Before taking a seat next to me “I can’t wait until you make soap out of this. I wanna see how plants get turned into soap.” Dr Willard looks excited
The Unwanted Chance Chapter 56: Painful Memories
Rae’s POVJeong and I meet up with Gerald and explained what I was needing about making the soap. After a bit of a discussion it was decided to create a workshop right off the house with an added covered area outside. That way I can make the soap outside, but store everything including the curing soap inside, and lucky for me it wasn’t far from the back door. It’s a win win if you ask me.After dinner I was eager to start working on building my new work space, but Jeong protested. He claimed I needed to rest and not over do it. So here I am, in my room lounging on my couch looking out the window at the stars. Try as I might I can’t seem to fall asleep. I feel so excited that my brain just wont calm down.I hear a click.“Why aren’t you sleeping?”Turning to look I see Jeong leaning against the door frame that separates his room from mine.
The Unwanted Chance Chapter 57: Studio Almost Done
Jeong’s POVEven though it means nothing but when I heard her say she was no longer with that man a sense of relief washed over me. After questioning the reason why she separated from him I am beginning to regret my decision to ask. I can see her fighting back tears but all I can do is reach out for her to show her I care and I’m here for her.With her eyes glassed over trying to hold the tears Rae continues her story. “I remember one of the times he busted my face up pretty bad making me almost unrecognizable. He wouldn’t allow me to go to the hospital or sleep. I had to fend for myself because he knew if he took me to the hospital he would be put in jail and if I slept I could have had a concussion where I might not have woken up. Towards the end he began meeting and sleeping with other women behind my back. Finally after twelve years I couldn’t stand it anymore and mustered up the courage to divorce him.&rdqu
The Unwanted Chance Chapter 58: I Can Blink!
Rae’s POVAfter a few days I can’t hold my excitement as I look at my new workspace. It’s completely catered to how I make and process soap, it’s perfect. I’ve mixed up all the different oils into their own batch and labeled them. I’m sure some of them will have no reaction to the lye. All I have to do is wait.I’m amazed at the weighing system here, if I didn’t know how powers worked I’d say it was magic. If you want a certain amount it will auto weigh the exact amount you want. There are so many little gadgets in this world that has harnessed powers from people. Jeong said that there are factories where people go there to literally pump their power into these devices, it’s the job they decided upon. I’m not sure how well I can get use to everything, but I’ve learned to expect the unexpected.Since there wasn’t anything more I could do but wai

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
The Unwanted Chance Chapter 73: We Need Defense
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
The Unwanted Chance Chapter 71: Needing Some Space
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
The Unwanted Chance Chapter 70: And Then There was Flavor!
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
