Racheal makes progress with her plan

Racheal’s phone vibrated, as she walked out of the office behind Jade.“That is not mine.” Jade stopped, staring at the phone in her hand.“It’s mine.” Racheal said, pulling her phone out from her purse. She checked to see it was a random notification about a trending news. She looked back up to see Jade staring at her.“You have a phone?”“Yes. Steffan.” She said as a quick way of explanation. Jade was looking at her with a completely shocked expression. “I meant to get your contact information before I left.” Racheal added.Jade threw her hands around her friend and hugged her. “This is so good.” She said.Racheal nodded. She thought it was too. She was hopeful for the first time since she arrived in Yin. If she could clear this Asad Achille assignment out of the way, then there was a possibility of her and Steffan having a bright future, and peace too.She gently pulled away from the embrace, and Jade shook her head, smiling at her.”With a husband like this, you are winning

Racheal tells Jade about her plans

“Chloe likes you.” Jade said, as she walked with Racheal to a private changing room.“I think I like her too.” Racheal replied, putting her purse on the floor.“What?”“I know you don’t like mistresses, I don’t think I do either, but Chloe looks like a decent person.”“Oh Racheal.” Jade said in a sad voice. She turned to her. “What?”“She LIKES you.”“Oh.” Racheal stopped, shocked. “How do you know?”“It’s so obvious, she was looking at you with stars in her eyes, the way my brother, Steffan, and even that hot Dalloz heir looks at you.”“That’s sad. It is wasted on me.” Racheal said, turning away quietly, “I have never even been curious about women.” She thought of Skylar in the moment, would the women have liked each other, maybe Chloe would have been a better partner for Skylar than that miserable Hamza.Her eyes widened suddenly, was that why Chloe accepted her ridiculous excuse to visit? Had she gotten the wrong idea?“She is coming to look at my books.” Jade mimicked Chloe, pu

Another message from Skylar

“Are you sure about this?” Jade asked.“Yes,” Racheal replied.“But how do you plan to get it? The man is heavily guarded at all times.”“I know. My solution is in his schedule. Asad Achillie is a meticulous man. He follows a strict schedule, like some robot. But recently, one hour on his schedule every Thursday has gone blank."“He is not at work, with his family, or on any official assignment. My father did not give me any more information about this. But I thought for a man so disciplined and strict, whatever Asad Achillie was doing in that hour had to be a vice of some kind.”Jade was nodding. “You mentioned his relationship with Chloe, and she just told me she would be busy on Thursday morning.” Racheal continued. Her phone vibrated, she ignored it. It was probably Steffan texting her. It could wait.“I may be on to something, or not. But it is worth giving it a shot. This is the only shot I have.” She said to Jade.“How will you get the permit from him this way?”“Thursday ev

Skylar hates Bourbon

“Steffan.” Racheal said, in partial alarm, as she felt his strong arms pulling her close.He paused, and frowned.“You think I will hurt you?”“No.” She lied.“Racheal.” He whispered, pulling her more gently this time. He knew she was lying.“You are the annoying one,” He said as he deeply inhaled the scent on her neck. “You know how to make my blood steam. In many ways.”He quickly released her again.“I will call Skylar now. Promise to not get worried anymore.” He said.She nodded.If she heard Skylar’s voice again, she would know for sure if there was truly cause for alarm, or if she was worrying over nothing.Steffan pulled out his phone and started scrolling.“Skylar, you are sending my wife into a panic,” He said.Racheal hurriedly went to his side and stared into the phone. Skylar was sitting beside an indoor pool.“Skylar. I got your message, are you OK? You can tell me the truth.”“I’m sorry. I wanted to send that text to Hamza, it was an order at a bar.” Skylar said, smiling

You may be pregnant

Racheal was ready to go with Steffan, even though she had to abandon her Asad Achillie project that was in just two days.But Steffan refused.He wanted to be able to search for his sister without worrying about her too.He went off in his Jet, and his father went with presidential guards on another flight.They kept the search hush-hsuh though.The villa was large, and they could not risk anyone alerting the Almirs that they were coming for their son.Racheal paced the living room upstairs in her long nightrobe as she dialed Skylar’s number for the hundreth time.It was still unreachable.Hamza’s phone was now unreachable too even before Steffan left.“Ma’am, would you like to sit down for a bit?” Luna asked.Racheal shook her head, and the movement made her head spin.“Water?” Luna asked, her voice sounding more anxious, as Racheal reached out to hold a sofa for support.“Yes please.” Danna Sherrod’s voice said.Everyone turned to look at her.She still managed to look intimidatingl

A pregnancy test

By the next morning, Skylar’s phone was still switched off, and Steffan called to tell her that he had still not found his sister, or Hamza.Racheal stared at the phone after the call, and burst into tears. She was not sure she could forgive herself if anything happened to Skylar. She should have believed her instincts more, and forced Steffan to look for his sister earlier.She sighed, and finally wiped her eyes after an hour. She logged on to the website of a popular shop, and ordered different brands of pregnancy test kits. She walked in to the bathroom with her phone, and turned on the shower. She stepped back, and dialed Jade’s number.“Hey beautiful.’Racheal broke into a fresh set of tears. “Do you think I should still go ahead with the plan?”“Hey. Are you fine?”“No. Skylar is missing.”“Steffan’s sister, who had the wedding three weeks ago?”“Yes.”“My goodness. How bad is it?”“Bad. Steffan and Spencer have been searching all night. I don’t know if I can still continu

Skylar's maid

Racheal felt her father’s voice breaking into her head as she returned to the living room. When your mother had these problems,Those words spoiled her relief at the results of the test.Everyone said her mother had difficulty conceiving her. Could she have the same problem as her mother?The thought that she could be that way, bothered her a little. She definitely did not want a child now, but what happens when she wants one and can not have any?She settled to her bowl of yoghurt, and continued to scroll through the health articles. She saw a video and clicked on it, uncaring that her maids were in the room. She froze when the doctor said a PT can only accurately detect pregnancy after fourteen days of conception. If she wanted accurate results, she would have to go to the hospital for a blood test.She immediately lost appetite for the yoghurt, but somehow, she forced herself to continue eating. She was so dumb. She would definitely go to the hospital for a test after tomorrow

Thalia back at the presidential villa

Racheal dialed Steffan’s number frantically, as she forwarded the image Luna, who had gone home with Skylar’s maid, sent her.She remembered the maid clearly, although she was not sure that she had ever gotten the young woman’s name. She was just as devoted to Skylar as Leah and Luna were to her. She had brought the phone to her on Skylar’s engagement when Skylar had called her crying. Her heart twisted as she remembered Skylar's sobs over the call.“How are you, Racheal?”Steffan sounded so beaten and tired, his voice was subdued.“I am fine. Listen carefully. Do you remember Skylar's maid?”“Yes.” His voice had come alive.“Luna and Leah ran into her. She found a trashed itinerary of Skylar’s honeymoon, days after Skylar left. It was half burned, but the last few places they would be heading to are still visible. I just forwarded the image to you.”“Well done baby.”Racheal took the phone off her ear as she heard the sound of the call disconnecting. She collapsed into her seat

Racheal sneaks off with Jade

Racheal hardly slept the whole night. She woke up the next morning with a fear that they might never find Skylar, or if they did, it would be too late.She forced herself out of bed. It was a good thing she had somewhere to be today. If she had to stay home all day again today waiting for news, she would go crazy.She turned on a cold shower and stepped under it. When she first got here, she was so used to living alone, now the house felt empty without Steffan.She sobbed in the shower a long time, and finally stepped out.—-----------------------RachealHeading for yours now.07:30—-----------------------She texted Jade, and began to get ready. She looked for something beautiful that was appropriate for visiting, but she could run in if she had to run too.She grabbed a pink wrap romper, and a pair of black lace-up boots. She dressed up quickly, and applied a coat of concealer under her eyes, to cover the signs of her sleepless nights.She stared at herself in the mirror. Th

Asad Achillie is here

“What are we looking for again?” Jade asked as they slowly drove past the house with the address Chloe had given her.Racheal looked at the modest duplex, with an open garage.It was exactly the way she had imagined the house a mistress would keep would look like.“Chloe’s car is in the garage, she is in.” Racheal said, as Jade stopped the car in front, three houses away from Chloe”s, on the opposite side of the street.“How do you know what her car looks like? How did you guess she had an open garage so we would be able to see if her car was in or not?” Jade turned to look at her, bemused.“It was all a long shot in the dark,” She replied.She was just happy everything was working so far.“And I checked her social media page. I saw what kind of car she drove.”Jade turned to stare at the house through the rearview mirror.Racheal thought Jade was very smart. They could not draw any attention since they were not even parked facing the house.“If she leaves, we will tail her, and she w
