Chapter 11_ Heartbeat 1

Racheal raised her head after feeling a gaze on her, she met with those pair of eyes and started choking.

   Aidan was surprised on seeing her, he offered her a glass of water which she took.

   And yet again another shock for everyone, old Wilson smiled meaningfully which Florence didn't miss, she knew it, she knew this old man brought this girl for a reason.

    Aidan faced his grandfather with questioning eyes which the latter ignored, he watched her hand fidgeting while holding a fork, she raised her head again to find him still staring at her.

   Lyra noticed Racheal's reaction 'it seems she is scared' lyra thought. She looked towards Aidan then to Racheal.

  Racheal wondered what he was doing here before it suddenly dawned on her.'he is a Wilson, so that means, I'm having lunch with the Wilson's?!' she concluded in shock.

   Old Wilson knew what was running through her mind at that moment. But it seems she has met his grandson before now.

    Racheal felt uncomfortable with him in front of her, her heartbeat increased drastically that she could hear it.

    After lunch Racheal was happy that it was finally over, so she excused herself and went to the washroom.

    The door suddenly closed behind her, she was frightened when she saw Florence and her daughter glaring at her. She knew this woman didn't like her from the start.

   "Well aren't you just clever enough to brainwash old Wilson" jenny spitefully spoke.

   Florence pulled her daughter aside, staring at Racheal, she immediately grasped Racheal's chin."hey girl, I don't know where he picked you from but you have to leave this minute, cook up an excuse to leave or else I will be your worst nightmare" Florence threatened and smiled seeing how frightened the girl was.

   Racheal watched them leave,and was about to come out.

   She bumped into someone's chest."I'm sorry" she mumbled even though she didn't look to see who she just crashed into she started moving away.

   Aidan pulled her back to stand before him, her heart leaped when she saw him again.

"Why are you here?" Aidan demanded, to see her shake slightly.

  "Uncle.... asked me to come here, I swear he didn't tell me that he is old Wilson" Racheal honestly spoke.

   Aidan frowned seeing her fidget so much over a simple question. He didn't know what that old man was planning, but if it's what he thinks then old Wilson is making a very big mistake.

   "Don't try to make my life more messed up, or I will end your life" he threatened and left Racheal shaking.

   Clara and her daughter Lizzy walked towards Racheal and embraced her warmly.

   Racheal watched them in confusion, they were the only ones who smiled at her at the dining.

   "Mum she is so cute" Lizzy giggled.

"This is Lizzy Aidan's younger sister and I'm his mum" Clara said politely.

  Racheal returned their smile, Aidan was nothing close to his mum and sister in terms of being nice.

   "Hi I'm Racheal" Racheal mumbled feeling all shy.

  Clara touched her shoulder "Aidan might try to act tough on the outside but he is really a good person" Clara assured her.

   Racheal raised a brow. Good person?, haven't she seen her son in killer mode? Noway, she could never believe that. He just threatened her a while ago.

   "Yes he is a caring older brother and I love him so much" Lizzy added.

    Racheal didn't know why they were telling her all these."aunty we are not a thing actually i....".

   Clara touched Racheal's face in a caring manner."you are a nice girl, and I know you are the one who would bring light into his dark life" Clara said amidst tears.

   Racheal panicked, why was she talking like this.

   Lizzy stood in front of Racheal"my brother hasn't cared for any other lady in these years, but today when you were choking at the dining, he gave you a glass of water he hasn't even done that for me yet" Clara reasoned holding Racheal's hand giving it a light squeeze.

   Racheal didn't know what to think of this, they didn't know the other side of their son.

   "Please help me show him the right way" Clara pleaded and left with Lizzy.

   Racheal returned to the living room, now everyone was sitting, it seems like a family meeting so she turned back to excuse herself.

  "Racheal come over here" old Wilson called out.

  Florence and jenny tightened their feast, she was still in the building.

   Racheal dragged her feet to old Wilson who directed her to sit beside Aidan.

   Her heart beat increased again, she was sure that she would die of heart attack before she leaves this house.

   This place was scary to her, Even people she hasn't met before today hated her to the core.

    She sat next to Aidan, and tried to stop her heart from beating fast.

   Old Wilson knew what was going on at that moment, he knew everyone of them quite well.

   So he cleared his throat to gain their attention again.

  "You all must be wondering why I brought Racheal home, well she is the daughter of our family friend that's all I can say" old Wilson said he had a reason for not mentioning her parents names, if he had mentioned it, the demons present in his family will try to dig out what he has been hiding all these years.

   Racheal was taken back by his words, family friend? She doubts if her parents knew old Wilson.

   "So Racheal will be our guest, till monday morning when we all leave for our weekdays routine". Old Wilson spoke and stood up.....
