Chapter Two
I'm sure your mom won't like it that way" This came to her head as she quickly dropped the knife to the floor and crouched
down and cried once more.
Her life was ruined at this point. She had no hope of continuing her dream if she got married to the abandoned son of Hamilton. She would spend her life taking care of a crippled man.
Furthermore, she wouldn't make her mom proud again as she promised. But dying wasn't an option either. She stayed indoors. Food was brought to her at night, but she didn't eat it either.
The next morning, which was the wedding day the guards came and dragged her into the car as they moved. At this point, Rachael had no option but to accept her fate. She had her plans to escape after the marriage. The marriage wouldn't ruin her life.
Rachael was already dressed up in the dressing room. She sat down with a frown, holding the flowers miserably.
"Rachael" A voice called out from the window. She furrowed her brows because she had no idea who might be calling her.
" Rachael..." The voice called again, and she whirled around to see Felix, her boyfriend whom she planned to escape with.
" What are you doing here Felix?" She murmured surprisingly.
" Let's escape. Rachael." He said convince...
" Now?"
" Yes, Rachael. I can't lose you. I love you so much" Felix confessed.
" Okay" Rachael replied, nodding her head, maybe the universe was offering her help. It could be her last chance to escape this miserable plight.
Her phone buzzed, and she turned to the chair she had been sitting all along.
"Give me a minute" She spoke calmly and went over to check her phone as her lips parted with shock. Pictures of Felix sleeping with Esther were sent to her by an anonymous person. She clamped her hands over her mouth. A leaked chat with Esther and Felix was also there.
(I need you to plan running away with her and then snitch on her)
(okay love. Anything for you)
This was the chat as a scoff escaped Rachael's lips. It was weird how her Dad caught them. Turns out Felix betrayed her. Tears rolled down her cheeks.
" What is taking you so long?" Felix asked while standing in the window.
Rachael turned to him with reddened eyes and her blood boiled. She strolled over to him and gave him a hot slap...
Felix was startled as he held his cheeks. He looked at her surprisingly.
" How dare you!" Rachael barked.
" Rachel...." Felix's lips parted and closed. Words escaped him, but he was surprised at her sudden reaction.
A dry chuckle left her lips. " How could you do this to me, Felix!" She yelled as she placed the phone exhibiting the photos to his face. He looked at it and his eyes flashed in disappointment as he turned his eyes away.
" Are you going to deny it?! Are you that low?!" Rachael shouted in anger.
" I did it. Rachel why?" His lips tugged up into a smirk.
As if he knew being rebellious won't change anything, his tone became calm again.
" I'm sorry Rachael. I love you too. But you wouldn't just comply with my request. She complied, and I fulfilled her promise, but I'm here to make things right. Remember once you marry the Hamilton's crippled son. Your future is gone, Rachel." Felix tried to talk her out.
Rachael let out a scornful laugh "Felix, you did this to me. And you have the right to show up here and say these things to me"
"I'm here to save you, Rachel. Getting into this marriage won't help you" He replied confidently.
"So that you can have your way into my pants?"
"Rachel. I'm sorry. I'm a man you know. You kept declining, and I had no option" Felix tried to justify his actions.
" Hear yourself out, Felix! You sound so disgusting. You cheated and snitched on me! Furthermore, you are a monster!"
"Rachel...." Felix said slowly as he tried to reach out his hands to her.
" Get your filthy hands off me. I don't need your help again." Just then, Rachael finally made up her mind to marry Hamilton's abandoned son and then thought of how she would escape later. She can't let her life be ruined because of this.
" Rachel...we can still make things right?.."
" Stop it!" Rachael demanded.
" Rachel..." he called again as Rachel angrily shut the windows to his face.
She returned and sat down. She wanted to be strong as she held the tears that wanted to fall through. No one is going to treat her like a pushover again.
It didn't take time for her to start walking down the aisle. When she walked down, she saw the disgusting look on the audience's face and the whispers.
" Heard she took him away from her sister"
" She is so desperate to marry into a wealthy family. Doesn't she know that he is the abandoned son that has nothing much?" Another added.
" She is a whore as I heard. She has a boyfriend but abandoned him"
Rachael sighed heavily hearing those lies. It wouldn't pass her stepmom and sister to spread lies about her. They had sworn to make her life a living hell.
She walked down and stood alone. Mr Wright never bothered to walk her down the aisle.
Suddenly the door opened and Esther walked in dressed in white as she walked majestically swaying her hips.
The audience began to hail and adore her.
" She is so cute and beautiful!"
" She is nothing like her sister!"
" She is so kind to have attended the wedding. Her sister should be grateful that a celebrity showed up for her wedding.
" Even though she snatched her husband. She was still kind enough" Esther felt so proud hearing these words.
She knew exactly what she was doing, she eyed Rachael until she got to where her mom was.
" Why is she even wearing makeup Mom?"
"It is her wedding Esther. Don't worry she can never take anything away from you"
Esther smirked " Her life is officially over. She would save Daddy's company but all the assets would still come t
o me"
"Yes of course darling" Kate replied with a warm smile.
Just then a tall elegant man walked in.
