I finally caught Hamza

“My father wants to have a meeting with all of us tomorrow. I don’t know what it’s about,” Steffan said.Racheal looked at him in surprise. He was still talking to his father after all he learned?“Why did you not come for the card anymore?” She asked. Was it because he did not want to see the evidence? Did he not believe his father did it?“I finally caught Hamza,” he said. “Oh.” Racheal felt relief on behalf of Skylar. She was truly free now, and that monster would suffer for all he did to her.“I got news about his location that night after I dropped you off. I could not risk him slipping away.”“OK.” She said, and went quiet.“You still have the card, right?”“Yes.”“Racheal, can we talk about what you saw?” He said, and she suddenly became aware of how bad her headache had gotten.“Skylar already told me all I need to know. That is why I came back at all," She said, stretched out on the bed, and closed her eyes to sleep.The next afternoon, Steffan worriedly looked at her as

Racheal's enemies in motion

The Bargain /Lily Darcy

Skylar called on the couple, when Racheal had barely settled back into bed. She wanted to speak to Racheal alone.“Let me talk to her here.” She glanced at Steffan. He shrugged and started walking out of the bedroom. Racheal turned to Luna,“Bring her in here.”Luna bowed and walked away. Racheal leaned her head on the pillow, casually watching the television, when Skylar came in. She smiled up slowly at her and stretched her hand out. Skylar took it, squeezed, and sat beside her on the bed.“What is going on?”“What do you mean?” Racheal asked.“I know a lot has happened since I have been away. But it is glaring now that something big has happened that I am blind to," Skylar stared at her, with eyes similar to her brother’s.Racheal did not know what to say. She could not tell her about all her parents had done these past few weeks, or all their dirty secrets she had discovered.“You know something. Why does my brother suddenly hate my parents so much?”Racheal shook her head.

Silence

The Bargain /Lily Darcy

Racheal felt this was all suspicious. But she could not just leave the box lying here. She picked it up, and went out of the garage. She was going to call Steffan, and tell him all about this. This was all too suspicious.She went back to the house, and hurried up the stairs. She dropped the box carefully on the ottoman and bent to pick her phone up from the bed when she felt someone behind her.“Steffan, I was just about to..” She froze. It was the doctor. The residential Villa doctor that had treated her a few days ago.“Who let you in without telling me?” Racheal asked in surprise.“I came to check on you. See how your headache is now?” The doctor said.Racheal’s frown deepened. It was past nine in the night. Why would he come to see her when she had not called for him? And coming straight to her bedroom?“Mr Steffan said to come check on you.”“Oh.” Racheal relaxed. Why did he not just say that earlier, but her maids should have told her before sending him up, even if Stef

Skylar's murderer

The Bargain /Lily Darcy

Racheal cried till her body went numb. She could not stand up. She did not want to stand up, even when Steffan dragged himself up onto their bed, and sat quietly staring into space. They were quiet for hours. There were no words to say.She could not even begin to think of a life without Skylar.“We have to go to the morgue soon. Spencer may want to have a wake for her immediately.” His voice broke again, reopening the stream of tears from her own eyes. She could not believe they were putting Skylar and morgue in the same sentence. It did not make any sense.The world no longer made sense.The sun was falling outside, and she thought that today was the last day Skylar ever witnessed on earth. She would never know what tomorrow or all the other days looked like.She would never fall in love, have a happy relationship or peace.She was still on the floor when their bedroom door burst open, and Spencer walked in. His eyes were blood-red.“Father. Why did you..” Steffan jumped up.

You killed Skylar

The Bargain /Lily Darcy

08:50 pm10-07-2021Yin capitalHe walked out of the villa. He should not have to be doing this today. His heart was broken, and he could barely breathe. But he could not just sit back and watch his wife relive this again. He had abandoned her before. He was not going to do that again.He got in the car, as the chauffeur and even Justin looked at him with pity. “Get moving.” He yelled. He could not show any emotions here. His little woman was the only person that had the right to see him emotional. It was safe to be emotional with her. He sat frowning, making sure his face stayed Stoic as his heart shattered. He was supposed to get them all out of Yin in a month. His sister and his little woman. The only two people that mattered. He had not even had the opportunity to tell them.He put his head in his hands, as his little woman’s scream came back to him from that time she watched the news. He could not even comfort her. He wanted to hold her, but he could not.“Sir,” Justin

I am telling the truth

The Bargain /Lily Darcy

“How can you do this to me?” Steffan yelled. Then he paused. “Just tell me the truth. Tell me how it happened.”“I don’t understand what you are talking about,” Racheal said, shaking her head.“Stop it.” Steffan yelled. “Stop f*cking lying! You are messing with my mind. Just tell me the truth.”“About what?” She yelled, crying, “I did not kill your sister.”“Maybe you did not mean to. Did you mean to stop Skylar from going on the trip like you promised your father you would with me?”“I did not talk to my father. I have not talked to my father since that last time Roslyn tricked me into doing it. I told you.”“How can you be like this?” Steffan was looking at her like he did not recognize her. He raised the document in his hand. “All of these results came back as positive. That was your voice on the call.” He scrolled through her phone, and turned it to her face. “Your call log even shows you had an outgoing call at that time. You somehow forgot to delete it like you attempted to

I have been true to you

The Bargain /Lily Darcy

“Go call him.” Steffan said to Luna, but he was staring at Racheal fiercely.“It’s just the both of us now” Steffan said, as soon as Luna left. “For f*ck sake, say the truth.”“I am.” She shouted.She could see the veins in his temple and forearm begin to pulse. He looked away from her and walked towards the jewelry box on the ottoman. He pulled it open and stared. He took out a card. Then he leaned down again, and fished out all the pearls and gold necklaces.Then he pulled out another card. She stared at him.He turned to her with the card.“This is an address. This is what you killed my sister for, to know where your mother was buried?"She just continued staring at him.“Answer me.” He yelled.She jumped and began to cry. “I don’t know what you are talking about, I don’t understand any of this.”“Why can't you tell the truth? Your insistent lying is driving me crazy. You think that is your only way out? It’s not.”She kept quiet and racked her brain. Was it possible to do all

Tourris

The Bargain /Lily Darcy

“I will take your life too.” Spencer Sherrod said, pressing the gun to Racheal's head.“Even in the face of death. You still chose to be tight-lipped?" She glanced up to see Steffan staring at her in bewilderment.“She is her father’s foot soldier.” Spencer Sherrod smiled bitterly. “Why do you think he gave her to us? It’s because he trained her well.”Racheal said nothing. She wanted him to get it over with already. If he did not kill her, this monster headache would.She closed her eyes, and waited.She felt the pressure in her head tightening, and felt Spencer moving his hand to the trigger.“Wait.” She heard Steffan say, and she opened her eyes. “Send her to Tourris instead.”Spencer turned to him angrily. “She killed your sister.” He yelled. “She does not deserve to live.”“You call Tourris living?” Steffan asked.His father seemed to agree with that because he pulled his gun away. Racheal looked from father to son. What the hell was Tourris, and what was going to happen to

I was too bold

The Bargain /Lily Darcy

07:00 am11-07-2021Tourris, Yin outskirtsRacheal arrived at the last turn.She suspected it was the last turn because she could see the bright light ahead. As soon as she turned left, she found herself in a large room. It had just three walls, the space for the fourth wall was empty. She could see the mountains from the empty space, and the strong wind blew in from there too.When she looked down in the room, she was horrified at what she saw. Most women here looked skinny. Way skinnier than those people back at that camp she had freed.The ones who were not as skinny had sunken eyes. She was the only person that felt like a human at all. She suddenly felt scared. She turned back, and ran the way she had come. She stood at the edge, and noticed that all the guards had left.She lay flat on her belly and looked down. The elevator was gone too. A strong gust of wind blew suddenly, almost taking her over. She gripped the floor tightly, waiting for it to pass. Then she stood

You are scared of your son

The Bargain /Lily Darcy

03:00 pm18-07-2021Tourris, Yin outskirts“Oh, shut up.” Someone said angrily in irritation.But Racheal could not stop, she rolled on the dirty floor groaning in pain, her head in her hands. Her headache had worsened to an unbearable point. If she had the courage, she would have jumped already, not because she necessarily preferred jumping to being here, but because she could not stand this headache.It blinded her, and made her nauseous. It was a crippling pain. “Maybe we can ask for tylenol the next time the wardens come here.” Emily said, gently pouring the bottled water they both shared down her brows. Racheal began to sob, the water was not even enough to drink, and here Emily was wasting it on her.“They have not been here with food yet, and you think they would bother with medication even if you asked?” Someone nearby said.Racheal knew she was right. But she wanted to hope. Hope was what would make her not just go for the jump.“Do you used to have them this bad befor
