A knock resonated through Rachel's office interrupting the company production records. She had to say, Araceli did a pretty good job managing such a complicated and diverse company such as this one,
Every unit in the organization was well sorted and performed well with well filed reports on sales,production and welfare. It made it easy for her to know what she was doing and where she was heading to.
Her secretary walked in as she finally discarded her cloud of thoughts while she made a mental appointment to meet all the heads of various departments.
The petite woman in front of her wore a navy blue office skirt and a white floral blouse with low black heels and a tied up ponytail giving her face sharper features
What do y’all think of Rachel’s outburst 😍
Was he dreaming or did Araceli just yell in a public space? He hasn’t seen that much fury or anger before, especially not from the ever calm and meek Araceli which he found boring but now...Now she has ALL of his attention. I mean was it possible for someone to develop a strong and outstanding personality over one strange ass journey, because if that is possible, he will like to take all his exes to conversion therapy because of their dry ass humor.He completely forgot about the hostess he was flirting with and ran out to meet Araceli and met her waiting for her ride outside."Araceli"!!!"Urghhhhh" Rachel groaned internally.
Chapter 11:Signing her first dealToday is the day she has been waiting for. She was both excited but nervous, enthusiastic but worried at the same time. The future of the company depended on this deal she was going to pitch today. Araceli has been working on the deal for over 6months with a whole research base and backup file, she knows that the contract wasn't only important to the company but to Araceli too, this was most of her life's work, hence why she couldn't afford to mess it up.She got up an hour before her alarm due to her restlessness, so she decided to take a run to clear her mind, A run and a good coffee will keep her straight,so she left the house at 6:27 am jogging up to her estate.The sun had partially risen and the air was cool again her face but she could feel the sl
Waking up to the smell of frying bacon and toast is something Rachel can never be used to, she turned in her bed while looking at the time figuring she probably slept through her alarm. She had been catching up on a series she had watched in her past life and slept late, you know, totally "normal" stuff. She went into the bathroom to wash up and wore some casual band tee and comfy sweatpants.On heading downstairs,she could hear Ace telling the cook what he wanted which was quite obvious from the time she has known him, it has always been pancake with chocolate syrup with a glass of cold almond milk, this was Ace every morning breakfast and on rare days he chose to make scrambled eggs with toast and orange juice. She headed to the coffee machine to make her morning dose of caffeine to start the day, she too
"Nice to meet you Ace, I'm Yandel," Yandel replied, bending his waist to the kid level as he gave Ace a knuckle bump."Yannyyyyy!!!. the queue is too long can you help me get the popcorn" Maya whined as there were just four people in front of her.Yandel groaned and rolled his eyes while he went to the popcorn stall to get three large popcorn packs for Celi, himself, and Ace."Maya come over here please," Yandel called to her."Yes," She answered sweetly."This is Araceli, CEO of Garcia's Enterprise and Ace, her kid brother," Yandel introduced."Hi" Maya said indifferently, not really caring about the ki
While Yandel was driving them home, Rachel got lost in thoughts as she stared outside the window thinking of everything that had happened within the past two hours, she looked sideways to yandel and he was just focused on the road, he turned to look at her too and gave her a reassuring smile as if reading her mind for her need for affirmation he gently squeezed her hands on her laps that were fidgeting a little and she let him as she turned to the window.While Ace went missing, she and Yandel had splitted ways, and she had called the police station straight away, reporting a missing child and described Ace as a brunette boy above 3'9 with green eyes. She was hysterical that time. She felt like the whole world.is closing down on her."Ma'am you need to calm down if you want us to really hear you" the police replied, Trying
"I like Yandel better than Xander…."Rachel finally got the courage to look at him after Ace had said that."He doesn't like my...fiancé" Rachel said with a little pause before referring to the evil bastard as her fiancé."Well he didn't fail to mention it to me too," Yandel added, laughing a bit at the mean face the kid made when he referred to Xander."He also said he wished I was his brother-in-law too," Yandel added with a confident smirk knowing it was going to evoke a reaction from Celi."He said that…!!" Rachel asked surprised and curious o
Chapter 16"Xander…"."Woah...it's the so much excitement to see your fiancé for me," Xander said bitterly and sarcastically.The Gracia’s driver came towards Yandel and took Ace from him and took him upstairs after just watching what was transpiring in front of him."For someone who planned her rape and tried to break off the marriage he seemed pretty pissed when i should be the one pissed…" Rachel thought."Excuse me, what are you talking about, you badged into my privacy and you expect me to be awning with joy and smiles because my lord and saviourXander decided to grace me with his pres
Rachel woke up feeling refreshed and surprisingly in a good mood and she couldn't comprehend why. Looking at the clock she realized she slept through her alarm which meant she couldn't go for her usual morning run.It was a few minutes past ten with no where to go seeing it was a weekend, she decided to just sleeping some more. She checked her phone for messages and saw the message yandel sent to her yesterday, just seeing it and thinking about it made her smile unconsciously.Yesterday was one of the most stressful and hectic days of her life and she couldn't imagine telling Ace's mom and dad about him going missing for a few hours, it wouldn't have spoken well about her.She went to the toilet to do the regular morning routine before she heard a notification bell,she headed to her phone eagerly subconsciously wishing it was yandel and lo and behold,it was him and he sent a Good m
"Araceli..""Yandel…Cole…""Sorry for being late your honor.." Araceli said with a confident smirk. All three of them walked in and it felt good, everyone had their jaws hanging down and eyes bulging out. Mrs Garcia was already on her feet about to run to hug her daughter while Amy stood there in tears. Ricky, Ben and Mariah were all on the same row, jaws hanging down in surprise. Emily and Nathan were totally unmoved instead, smiling proudly at their brother in a well tailored suit with Araceli by his side and Cole in jeans and black T like he always wore."And sorry for not being late as you guys thought I was.." Yandel said smiling at the crowd but especially at the man who was in a gray tailored suit and his hair was drawn back and held together by gel sitting beside Alice and Xander. The whole Miller family had a missed reaction but one of them in particular had his eye out of his socket more than the rest."Order court!! I will not condone such an insolent act in my court!!" He
Rachel"The Millers!!!" I yelled but paused again."Wait, they actually aren't the only ones you know…they are actually more of them, the Preston's, even the Azariah and I know all of the Xander's investments and none if it has nothing to do with the news outlets. I have gone through his papers before, his original documents that he had locked in a safe, that's how I knew he wasn't that smart to pull off all that happened," I told him my face dropping. What could Mister Douglas Miller, Alexander's father possibly want from us, that he would need me dead. Whoever this person was, has a good reason to kill me or want me dead but he also didn't make any sense.As for my father, not even I knew of the several women he has gone around with that my mother was very much aware of, but no one knew exactly why he did it. Sleeping with a married man's wife. So Mr Miller could have his reason for doing it, each of the Miller were suspects now and even Alice."Look, go freshen up okay, clean yours
Rachel"Hmm, you seem to like this place a lot huh.. Maybe you could join me, we would make a fun pair…" A familiar voice joked beside me. The familiarity of the voice was enough to spread chills all over my body, at the same time, soothe the burning feeling at the back of my head. It felt like my eyes were open yet closed, I could see her but I couldn't see anything else, just her."Araceli…" I called her name lightly before I felt my chest burn."Am I dead this time, did i make it this time around??" I asked her, looking at her smile so pretty at me, it was almost like staring at my reflection but the prototype. Even by mere looking at her I could see how much different she looked from me, she looked sharper while I was much more blunt on the edges "Isn't that a little narcissistic?? Staring and admiring me when I'm you.." She teased as I rolled my eyes in reflex."There's no way I'm you. I asked before who I was here and you never gave me an answer but now I see the answer clear a
"This is taking too long, we need to check up on him. I mean how long is it gonna take for the police and back up to get here?? Acting like we have the who goddamn day doing nothing but sitting down looking pretty and empty as hell," She looked at her mom hoping her whinig was going to get to her she was going to try and tell her to go in there and ask what's going on."You need to take a chill pill okay, for all we know, he got bigger fish to fry and you going there will just be getting in his way and taking up all his planned tattics and throwing them away. So no, Araceli, you are going to seat your impatient self down and wait till he is back," She continued typing and face timing on Ace's laptop since it was the only laptop available. For the past thirty minutes, she had been trying her best to just sit calm and enjoy the silence and sound of keyboard clicking but it was getting suffocating.It was already passed twenty five minutes and he wasn't back yet and he was yet to contact
Xander"Watch where you are going bro!! F!ck" My shirt had a little of starbuck strawberry shit on me and I knew with in seconds, I was going to start feeling so sticker and uncomfortable.I spilled several curses as I walked from my private gym to Where I was suppose to meet Alice. I don't know why of all places she couldn't just choose some where we could both be comfortable with a little less human interact."Hey, hey...Mr Miller right?" The man who ran into me came back and I held myself from groaning out loud. What the fuck does he want for fuck sake. I'm just trying to get to my meet up hoping I get lucky with her today because she has been acting extra weird ever since Saturday evening we had a fall out. She barely replied my text and after I sent a whole bunch of texts, she sends a cool or fine. It became increasingly over bearing so I decided to come to the gym and put some of my frustration into lifting some irons and honestly, it actually does work.Out of like ten, I was
They were only half way through watching lilo and stitch which Ben has probably watched for the twentieth time in the past four months. He still had the fire to watch it again, which was honestly amazing. Lilo and Stitch was a classic but Ricky was already tired of seeing it and was beginning to get really pissed off at Stitch's voice. It sounded like a really REALLY bad recording from the past, even though it was used as an alien voice, it was still really annoying to listen to.He decided to adjust his position in Ben's warm arms but found out that he had already slept off, and he was the one who changed the channel. Ricky tried to stand up to put the TV off and drink some water but he coiled his arms around him tighter and turned over so they weren't facing the light of the TV. Ricky stretched for the remote and turned off the TV so that they could sleep well.Just a few minutes after he made this life changing important decision as he himself was feeling really exhausted from the
"It's why I'm out here. I came to take him back then I realized that he didn't know me and you guys were not in the hanger so I headed back to the Car to see if anyone approached it. Don't worry about my wound, the cook there helped me clean up my wounds and stopped the blood loss and took out the mic they pull under my skin," He explained further as he stretched his arm. He looked behind me and Mrs Garcia and saw Ace holding a taser in his direction."F*ck...the whole family is actually like this.." He shook his head then decided to crank his neck making a cracking sound into the night."Do you even know how to use a taser?" He asked Ace, who looked at him cockingly."I have watched enough videos and I think lama is still passed out back at home, i hope they find a way to wake her up," He said proudly and I smiled till may brain processed the information that he just spewed and I realized that this boy electrocuted the cat in our household, which made sense why I didn't see the cling
I pressed the gun in his direction and he screamed...literally. I looked at him as his face turned to the palest form od white after pulling such a stunt on him. A click sound echoed in the night night showing that the shell was empty making him breath heavily."That's for keeping us twenty two minutes late," I smirked at him before walking past him making sure my elbow brushed his and walked up to the car signaling one of the guards to help take our luggages from the big SUV that was meant for the guards to drive. She wanted a more elaborate way of moving our things but I managed to convince her that we needed to move secretively without being noticed."That gave me a f*cking scare. What the hell was that about anyways, between you and your mom??" He picked a brown channel travel bag that was one of the monthly calendar gifts to our family."I don't know, years of vex, the fact that she ruined me of all the friends i made here in months, made them hate me and after that, she had the
Rachel"Do you have your bags and passports??" Mrs Garcia asked, holding my hands as we sat at the back seat of her favorite vintage 1965 which she only used for special occasions like when she was invited to Washington to make a speech in a forum that had some of the world's most b important people."Mum...the vintage," I stared at the Mustang and she smiled proudly at it."If not That I would be tagged as a loco puta. I would have named her my third child, she's so beautiful, isn't she??" She said with a dreamy look in her eyes as she looked at the car shining in its glory from the light Cole's private hanger had. The place was empty and we had guards to extra survey the area before we alighted.The place was huge as hell, the tarmacs to the runway lighting, it looked like a full mini airport and it was beautiful and there also happened to be a private restaurant just behind the huge garage that housed the plane. The name was something I didn't bother to read as the food called my
