Racheal and Steffan on a quest

“I had questions, I know the answer now.” Racheal responded to Steffan’s questions, hoping he would not ask anymore.They both stared at each other silently, and she found her mind wandering to memories she did not want it to. Steffan stood up and began to walk towards her. He was still in his work suit, and he looked insanely handsome. She panicked. She was not ready yet, she needed to think some more, and sort all she had just learned into the right boxes.“I think Skylar is in trouble.” She blurted out. Steffan froze in his track. “What?” “I saw her. I saw her, she was hitting on the window and then she was not there again.” Racheal said. Steffan was looking at her in confusion. She knew she must have sounded incoherent, but the image was still haunting her, and the thought that she had failed her friend. She could not live with herself if anything happened to Skylar. “What are you talking about?” Steffan asked. “I sent you a voicenote to let you know. Did you not get it?”

What are the Almirs hiding?

Steffan turned to look when Racheal walked into the room. He stretched out his hand, and she hurried to him.“Skylar is not here.” She said, as he wrapped his arm around her.“No. She isn’t.” He replied. “That is probably a good thing.” His voice was low and he was no longer stiff. The dark fury that had engulfed his body not so long ago had disappeared also. Racheal looked around the room, not agreeing with his sentiments that Skylar not being here was probably a good thing. She was certain that Skylar was here earlier, and not on any honeymoon. It was fishy that they would lie so insistently that she was not here when she was. “What are your guards looking for?” She asked, watching the men bent over, studying the floors inch by inch.“Proof that she was here earlier. Hamza said they flew to their honeymoon location yesterday monday.” Steffan said. Racheal looked back at him.“Isaac saw her too.” She said, feeling hurt that Steffan still did not believe her even after so long. H

Delbert asks Racheal to lunch

The couple walked out of the Almir penthouse, back into their cars. Racheal sat quietly beside Steffan in the car, as he gave instructions to his employees to ready his private jet for the trip. She looked away, and out of the window, wondering just how much money he had. Skylar had told her he was a billionaire, independent of his family’s wealth, so although this was her first time hearing he owned his own jet, seperate from the one his family had, she was not very surprised.She thought about how she did not really know this man who was her husband.“Why are you cold even with the car heater on?” Steffan said with concern, as he draped his jacket over her shoulder. “Do you feel sick again?” He asked.She shook her head as she shrugged on the jacket, and tightened it around her body. “Why did you not go see Skylar tonight?” She asked. He had a jet, he did not need a public flight schedule. A jet could be readied in no time. “The sky has too much turbulence to fly this night. The

Racheal and Steffan's first kiss

When Racheal stepped out of the walk-in closet, Steffan was on his laptop. She walked around and climbed into bed. Her body felt all strung up, despite how exhausted she was.Steffan glanced at her and turned back to the laptop. “You know you can always use my gadgets, right?” He said. “Keep up with the outside world.”Racheal stared at him from her pillow. “But the agreement was that I couldn’t. You were there in that meeting.” “That will change soon.” He said with an irritated frown. “For now, use mine.” She said nothing. He was rarely at home. She wondered how many hours a day she would get to use it. And if she would even dare.Racheal watched Steffan quietly, wondering if perhaps this man would finally be her ticket to freedom. He stood up and went into the bathroom. Racheal looked longingly at the laptop he left. Should she do it? Would she even dare?She heard him turn on the shower, and the sound of water beginning to beat the floor. She tightened her lips, as her heart

Racheal's deep confusion

Racheal froze for a moment, as her lips got consumed with Steffan’s fiery one. He sank his fingers into her hair, pulling her head back so he could claim her lips even further. They were still lying side by side on their bed. She tentatively placed her hand on his shoulder, feeling the hard flesh of it as she had always wanted to. This seemed to fire him up. He ran his tongue over her lower lip, coaxing her to part her lips. He swooped in for her tongue immediately she did, sending hot sparks down between her legs. Finally, he slowly pulled back and stared into her eyes. The blue of his eyes seemed strangely bluer.“I like you.” He said, in that low voice he had, the baritone reverberating in his throat. His words evoked feelings she did not think possible, in her. “I like your full lips and the way they press together when you are hurt or angry. I like the beautiful lines that immediately appear around… here.” He tongue darted out and swiftly licked the spot he was referring to

Racheal prepares for her big event

Racheal checked the drawers in the walk-in closet for new sheets, and found some. She made the bed quickly. She was changing into a new nightdress in the bathroom when she heard Steffan walk into the bedroom. She listened to him move around, and then there was silence. She suspected he must have gone to bed. Racheal sighed, a little relieved. She would not have to face Steffan just yet after how badly she had just behaved. She stepped out of the bathroom, and paused. Steffan was still awake and sitting up in bed. She awkwardly joined him, wondering if she had pushed the man away for good. She sat up beside him, feeling too unsettled to lie down and prepare for sleep. Steffan suddenly pulled her close into a hug.“Skylar is probably fine and enjoying her own honeymoon.” He said. She sighed in relief as tears escaped her eyes. Why was he always so kind? Well not always. But why was he often so willing to shrug things off. And how was he always able to see through her thoughts?

Racheal talks about her mother

Racheal and Steffan maintained silence for a few minutes. She glanced at him through the mirror. He was looking at her, waiting, expectant. She looked away and sighed. “My mother disappeared, really. I don’t know where she was buried.” She said, picking up her belongings and returning to their bedroom to wear her dress. Steffan followed her not long after.“Why?” He asked, when he came in.“You remember my step-mother?” She asked, thinking about the day she told him how her step-mother had maltreated and tortured her.“Yes.” Steffan responded. His voice sounded strange. Racheal glanced back quickly, and looked at him. His eyes were like a dark pit. She wondered if she should continue with the story, since it was already upsetting him so much. She decided to continue. He did not like when she was tight-lipped, and she did not want to spoil the good mood they had been sharing since last night. “She was my father’s mistress, a few years before I was born, while my mother struggl

Racheal's father is here

The long presidential convoy, shiny and awe-striking, finally arrived at the venue. Citizens were lined up at the gate in their hundreds, waving and trying to see through the tinted glasses of the fast cars. The stadium, one of the biggest in Yin, was packed full. People in their thousands were gathered to watch their most beloved member of the presidential family get appointed over one of the most crucial ministries the country needed after so many years of war.“Ready?” Steffan turned to Racheal in the car. She looked at him, and the incident of the chicken blood came back to her. Since that time, she had a huge fear of crowds, and this was the largest she had seen. Steffan took both her hands in his. “There is no need to be scared, just don’t let go of my hand. No one can break through the security this time.” He said.She nodded. He raised her hand to his lips and kissed it. Then he got out of the car, and walked around to open her door. Racheal put her hand in his outstre

A father's disappointment

Racheal watched the ceremony continue with different speeches from several other people. She sat still trying not to think about her father. She kept her eyes on the screen, studying the faces of people she did not know and may never meet. Some people had brought their children, and she thought how foolish that was. If she had a child, she would never bring them to packed spaces like these.The thought that she would possibly have a child within the next year, at the rate that things were going made her shiver. She did not want to have a child in this circumstance. It frightened her.She felt Steffan watching her, and turned to him. He smiled at her, she smiled back. It was a good thing he did not have the ability to read every single one of her thoughts. The president finally climbed the stage to give his own speech. She wondered if he knew her father was here. Spencer Sherrod was a cunning man, he probably knew, and approved it for her father to be allowed into the country. Wha

Your father wants to speak with you

Racheal walked back to her seat, partially blinded by her tears. She walked right into Steffan’s arms. He hugged her close, as he fetched a handkerchief out of his pocket.“You did well baby.” He said. Racheal smiled through her tears, and looked up at. This was the first time he was calling her a pet name. He dabbed the tears off her face, took her hand, and began leading her out. Their guards converged around them quickly.She glanced around the stadium at the people still cheering loudly. She knew there was no taming this crowd anymore. They had gone into a festive mood.But still, it felt awkward to be the first person leaving. She looked at Steffan, he was so audacious and non-comforming. The crowd was thicker and struggled to touch her even more now than when she had arrived. The soldiers had to point their guns to keep them back. She sighed in relief when Steffan finally helped her into their car. He climbed in after her.“Where are we going?” She asked. “My father’s reso
