Chapter: chapter 20(Daniel's POV)A series of sighs escaped my lips as I kept staring at the phone in my hand without blinking. I've been staring at the screen for more than fifteen minutes now, waiting patiently for just a call. Just what was I thinking? This was so unlike me.I could hardly believe that I was waiting for her call, and I found it rather disturbing to know that she could call off the agreement whenever she pleases to.This was crazy, but I've thought about it carefully and thoroughly throughout the day she offered the proposal.Marriage…It sounded easy, but I knew how complicated it was, especially if it wasn't something we both would equally agree on. What was the main reason I wanted this and was even bothered about her calling it off? I wondered.But then my clients were getting impatient and very soon they would get tired and ask for the papers of the land to be reassured about the rightful owner. That alone was enough to tell the trouble that would follow they found out I wasn't w

Chapter: chapter 19(Rachael POV)His lips were on my neck and I could feel them moving sensually on my neck. I gasped, and my feet dug into the sheets. What was this feeling? But before I could dwell on them, I heard a hoarse voice whispering close to my ear.“You smell familiar,” he whispered.I bit my lips to stop the sound that threatened to come out. “What are you-” I gasped when his hand moved upwards. It crawled its way from my stomach to my breast and palmed it. The feeling that came with it was unexplainable, and I haven't felt that all through my years on this earth.He bit my neck, enough to cause a hickey. I was starting to enjoy the feeling when something stopped me. It was my senses, telling me how stupid I was behaving and as if I got back my strength that was lost beneath this strange man, I used it to push him off me, but he wouldn't bulge. Oh! No. There has to be a way, I can't let this happen. I started searching for different alternatives and finally, my instincts came to perform thei

Chapter: chapter 18(Rachael POV)I could hear their voices from behind me. My feet felt weak and my heart heavy for an unknown reason. I kept stepping on my toes as I ran and fell. I could hear their footsteps that reverberated behind me. They were getting closer, and somehow I could feel the breath of terror that stood at the end of all this. The more I ran, the more breathless I became and it became so hard to breathe, my hands turned cold and my head hurt, it was as if the world was spinning around me.I felt the hard ground and the branches that bruised my skin as I let myself fall. My half closed eyes threatened to drop at any moment. I managed to still lift my gaze, but suddenly the place changed, and it was like I was back in my home where my father died. My father!I looked around and saw his body on the floor. Blood gushed out from his head. I heard a tapping sound and my eyes searched for it while I still laid on the floor in the same position.They landed on a hand that kept tapping the armre

Chapter: chapter 17(Regina POV)He smirked, and I could sense the mischievousness behind it as he nodded his head.“But what if I don't agree to it?” He asked with a daring smile on his face.I raised my chin. “Then we would have no choice but to tell the press about how you killed our people out of selfishness. You killed innocent souls just because you so badly wanted a building in the land we feed from.”“Press? Building? Innocent?” He chuckled. “You really have yourself believing in those crabs. Do you think your people are innocent? I almost forgot the shenanigan you pulled last time and how you caused me a scar.”“If I did, then it is a shame that it cleared so easily, besides that's why they call it a scar. Do you really think we had a choice? You came in here on short notice just to tell us to relocate to nowhere in particular, and then you went ahead to take it by force, just so you can build a huge and mighty tower on this land.”His gaze darkened as I continued, but I failed to notice it beca

Chapter: chapter 16(Regina's POV)My hands were shaking as I waited for them patiently until they reached, and thankfully the man I spoke to earlier came down with some men. They looked around with expressionless faces. They were bulky, and their expressionless faces were reducing my confident, but I tried to remain calm since this was the only way out.“Good day sir?” I said, trying to get his attention as he became busy with his men.“Good day miss…” he trailed off and waited for me to complete it.“Regina,” I said almost immediately.He nodded, smiling amusingly. “So how can I be of help, miss Regina?”I gulped and looked around. “I was hoping to talk to you more calmly than last time.”“Of course… So?”“Umm… I,” I looked around with a confused look. I was trying to fix the words in a more polite way. “I want to speak to your boss,” I said and sighed.He was taken aback but nodded. “I'm uncertain if I can say the same for my boss because he hates getting annoyed.”I nodded my head while making a ment

Chapter: chapter 15(Daniel POV)A sigh escaped from my lips when I stared at myself in the mirror. The scar wasn't visible like before, and that was a relief. I didn't have to cover it up or hear the unnecessary complaints that my mother has to offer to my poor ears. She was more upset than I was over the issue, insisting that I get someone to beat them up. It was a bad idea, and I just shrugged every time.I got dressed and just when I wanted to step out, my phone rang. I reached for it in my pocket.“Hello?” I impatiently waited for the person's response.“Daniel,” a manly voice called from the other side.“Mr Williams?” I frowned. Why was he calling me this early?“I watched the news,” he beamed.“As expected,” I rolled my eyes upwards.“Are you sure about what you said? Or you just want to give false hope? You know I hate false promises.”Not again and definitely not today. “What do you mean?” I asked, even though I was quite aware of what he meant and was trying to emphasize.“I'm just saying that
