All Chapters of The Bargain : Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

Zuri walked out another entrance of the mall to the side. Her eyes scanned the cars parked outside. Racheal watched as her eyes fell on a motorcyclist driving in. “Run.” She said.Racheal had no option but to obey. They were cuffed together. They stopped before the motorcyclist who looked at them in shock.“The keys.” Zuri said to him through gritted teeth.He scoffed as if Zuri was a big joke. He took off his helmet and got off the bike.The biker looked around twenty years old with blue eyes like Steffan’s. “Please give her the keys.” Racheal said.The boy looked up at Racheal then. He squinted, and then his eyes widened in recognition. Then he looked from Racheal to Zuri, and his eyes fell on their cuffed hands, and then the grenade.“Give it.” Zuri repeated. The boy placed the key in her hand, and backed away. Racheal realized that Zuri was beginning to make mistakes in her desperation. A modern bike like this will definitely have a tracker on it. This scared boy will tel

“So how do you think we should do it? Shoot him as soon as he comes through the door, or give you both time to say your final goodbyes.” Zuri said to Racheal, who was sobbing wretchedly.She was tired, hungry, in a crazy amount of pain from the hit she had gotten on her head, and her hands had been suspended in the air for way over eight hours now, but most importantly she was scared.She knew either her or Steffan would get badly hurt. They would not be able to escape it. She had been lucky so many times in the past few weeks. She feared that luck was quickly running out.She did not want to die, there were so many joys she had not gotten to experience with Steffan.She hadn't even gotten enough time with him. In the months of their marriage, the times they had not been fighting were few and far in between.But worse than her fear for her own life, she knew she could not bear it if something happened to Steffan. The thought alone was too painful for her. Life was so cruel and h

“Please do, “Danna Sherrod fired back. “I will not wait till something bad happens.”“Enough.” Spencer Sherrod barked, and in that moment, he sounded like Steffan. Racheal started to sob again. Surprisingly, Spencer placed his hand on her shoulder.“It is none of your decisions to make. Racheal’s presence here is an agreement between two countries. This is the last time I will say this. I don’t want to hear anymore talk about her leaving.” He said.The waiting hall went deathly silent.“Go home dear. I will send you news of Steffan,” He turned to her.Racheal shook her head.She did not trust the man one bit. She did not know what had come over him, but she was not going to leave Steffan alone for even one minute. “Ok.” He said. “We will all wait then.” He patted her shoulder, and walked away. He led his wife to a far-off bench, and they sat waiting. Racheal felt someone pushing a bottle of water in her hand, and she looked up to see it was Roslyn.She took the water but did not

“What?” Racheal looked around at the guards hanging around, and her maids arranging the bags in the backseat. In her panic, she hurriedly put her hand on Maxwell’s arm and moved him a little away from everyone. She realized what she was doing when she saw Maxwell staring at her hand on his arm. She quickly dropped her hand, and stepped back. “How did you know about Malorie? What are you talking about?” “It was not difficult to find out about her after you were kidnapped.” “What?”“On her call with Steffan Sherrod, Zuri mentioned a sister, so I figured that was the motive. I dug around and found out about Malorie, your husband’s ex.” The way he said those last words made her angry, but she decided to control herself. She wanted to know where he was going with this.“How did you know what Steffan and Zuri talked about on the phone?” She asked.Maxwell looked at her in surprise. “We searched for you together. Well, he was uncooperative at first, but as night fell, he began to li

Steffan spent an extra week at the hospital before they signed his discharge papers. He was still advised to rest some more at home.Racheal insisted he be wheeled out of the hospital, and Justin helped him into the house.“What is this?” Steffan smiled up at the cheeky welcome home balloons she had put up before leaving that morning.“Welcome.” She smiled.Steffan pulled away from Justin. “Enough with the fussing now,” He said. “I can walk just fine.”Justin stepped back, and they watched him walk up the stairs for a few minutes, before Justin bowed to her and left. Racheal hurried, and climbed up the stairs behind Steffan. She led him into the glass-walled living room upstairs where Chef Bennet, Luna and Leah were waiting.They bowed as soon as the couple walked in.“Welcome home.” Steffan smiled at them for the first time. He noticed the dining table in the corner was set, and walked slowly towards it.He took the cover off the nearest plate to reveal a full roast turkey. He
