Rachael's POVOur private plane landed in Venice Marco Polo airport and with great delight, i climb down the ladder that had be connected to the planes. I yawned, covering my mouth with my right hand still feeling the effects of the flight. It's been so long since I got on a plane.Venice was a city I had always wanted to visit for so many years. I was very little when I first saw it on a tourist magazine, and ever since.. I have always wanted to experience the pages of that magazine first-hand. "So.. we would go to the hotel first, sleep in and thenI will take you on a tour around Venice tomorrow. How does that sound." Jackson ask staring at me gleefully. "I would say lovely, except— Why can't we start the touring today?" I pout, pleading with my eyes. "Oh, I thought you would be too tired after that long ride, to want to go on a tour." Awwn how caring, except I do not need you caring."Well— I was tired, but not anymore.""Okay, if you say so— I don't see why we can't start th
Rachael's POV"Ah." I yawned opening my eyes slowly, stretching my body on the bed.Why? Why those the ceiling color looks different from what I had seen last night, I am really sure the ceilings where white but the ceiling I am staring directly at— is grey.Justin! I saw Justin last night, where is he?I sat up on the bed with speed, then I realize— I wasn't in the hotel room anymore. This doesn't look anything like the hotel room."This is definitely not the hotel room, I checked into last night." I said out loud, confirming the thoughts I had already."Where am I?" I asked myself. "How on earth did he bring me here?"Okay what do I remember—I remember being shocked that he was standing outside my hotel room door, when he should be back in crimson pack. And then, he begged me to let him in, I did and the next thing I knew.. black. It was all black.Did he drugged me? But how?Ohh— he placed a white handkerchief on my nose, I remember struggling a tad bit, but clearly it wasn't en
Rachael's POV"Justin, I had a nice dinner." I smiled heartily, surprised that I had as much fun as I did with him. "Thank you for making this happen."He beamed at me in a way that I'd never seen before. If I didn't know better, I might have thought that he was into the whole thing. Indeed, I thought so— but something in me still felt like there was nothing else to it except the whole competition."We're not done for tonight." He revealed, as my face lit up. "I still need to take you on a tour of this magnificent building, don't I?"We stood from our chairs and he stretched out his hand.. "Shall we?" He asked grinning."Yes." I smiled, taking hold of his hand. He led me back to the front of the house... "Are you ready to check out how the inside of this edifice looks?""Si," I replied, showing off my very little knowledge of the Italian language.As we walked into the building, I was so excited. I had seen a few places on my way out of the mansion earlier but nothing detailed. There
Rachael's POVJackson and I walked away from the mansion in total quietness. I don't really know why— but I was expecting him to say something to me but he didn't. He just kept on walking straight ahead.I know I didn't do anything wrong, it wasn't my choice to have Justin kidnap me, but still— why do I feel guilty, and why do I hate his silence. "Thank you for choosing to come with me." He finally broke the silence, to my own relive. "You don't have to thank me. I was only doing the right thing, you brought me here to Venice and so I am sticking with you." I replied softly.He turned around to stare at me... "I am glad you have that sentiment, cause we have one more date to go to, before we say bye bye.. to Venice." He informed me with a coy smile.I really don't think I want to go on another date, I just completed one with Justin. But— I also don't think I should say no to him. "Sure." I sighed. "Where are we going?""I guess you'll find out. Let's get into the car."He said open
Rachael's POVI turned in my sleep as the knock came on the door again, whoever is knocking can't they see I don't want to leave slumberland just yet?"Racheal! Racheal! Are you in there??" Ugh, they know my name. Wait! My eyes fluttered opened, Jackson! "I'm coming." I yelled standing up from the bed grudgingly, I walked straight to the door and opened it. Unlike the last time, this time— it's truly Jackson."Don't you think it's too early to be knocking on my door?" I asked yawning loudly, at the same time stretching my hands and legs sleepily."Sorry about that." He apologized, "It's just that I have a business meeting to attend by 8, and it's already 7:20." "Business meeting? I thought we are here to have fun?" I stared at him in a confused manner. "Even when telling a lie, there should be some truth in it." He replied winking, I chuckled. "I wish you a successful business meeting then." I bowed slightly, he laughed."So it's that all, cause I have a big size bed changing m
Rachael's POV"Get into the car!! Now!!" Jackson growled, his voice shaking me out of my trance-like state. I stared at him, then back at Mandy.. she called my pack, she called my pack name. I.. I.. need to find out who she is."I can't Jackson!" I defiantly yelled at him, standing my ground. "Didn't you hear what Mandy just..."I was interrupted by his palm over my mouth and suddenly, I found myself lifted off the ground by his strong hands. I gasped as he moved forward with me, tossing me into the car and immediately banging the door.I tried to open the door but I realised that he had already locked it. "Open the fucking door Jackson! OPEN IT!! She knows my parent, she knows my clan. OPEN IT!!" I screamed, banging on the window and trying to unlock the frantically. None would budge. Why it fucking open up.He stared me pitifully, shakes his head.. turned around heading for the mall. What is he doing? I stopped yelling, watching as he talked to her.. what he saying to her, why i
Rachael's POV"Okay, take me to him." I said to the guard, and he nodded walking in front of me.. taking me to Alpha Blackwood.I wondered if he knew about the incidents that happened in Venice, and if he did— what line of action is he taking."He's in there." The guard revealed pointing at a door. That's the mini parlor and except from Alpha Blackwood and his wife, no one is allowed to enter there. His kids are what I call occasionally an exception, unless when summoned of course.I thanked the guard, and walked over to the door of the mini parlor, knocked on the door once and waited. Alpha Blackwood had always believed he isn't in anyway deaf, and so no one needed to knock more than once. "Come in, Racheal." He yelled, I opened the door slowly and walked in as fast as I could. He is not a fan of being kept waiting."Good evening, Alpha Blackwood." I greeted, bowing slightly but he didn't respond. His attention remained on the television while I kept staring at him, waiting for him
Rachael's POV"Hang this in the wardrobe." I said, handing a red dress to a maid which I took out of my box.I had just walked back into my room after my encounter with Alpha Blackwood, to see some maids waiting for me in front of my door— so they could help me unpack.I called Orchid on my way back since I wanted her to help me do that. Nevertheless, it was good to have two more hands waiting on me for instructions. The more, the merrier.She took the dress from me, walked over to the wardrobe and hung it while I took the rest of the clothes out of the bag. "Please, call the rest of the maids for me." I requested. "Tell them to be here immediately."Orchid tried to leave but I stopped her, i snapped my fingers at another maid who stood by my right hand, to get my request done.She left and I resumed unpacking. Taking out all the stuffs I brought in the supermarket."Hang this carefully." I said to orchid, handing over the dress I had worn for my dinner date with Jackson. I wish I had
