“Who are you? Rachel asked again when she saw that Xander wasn't replying but only looking at her dumbfounded. It wasn't as if she didn't recognize him, she recognized him quite well because she already processed all of Araceli’s memory as she knew he was the Xander that betrayed and set Araceli up.
That scum!
“Araceli, What did you mean by “who am I?” I'm your fiance!” Xander replied as he frowned. What’s wrong with her?
Is she playing?
Why is he acting like she didn't remember him?
Did she remember and play him? He had no choice but to do it so he would be able to break his engagement with her and marry Alice.
His parents would never allow him to dissolve his and Araceli’s engagement because their parents are good friends and they've been engaged since they were children.
So the idea about dissolving has to come from Araceli.
That's why she can not blame him, he was doing this because he wanted to be with his true love. His Alice didn't agree with this at first because she didn't want to hurt her best friend until he told her that it's the only way they can be together.
Even on that day, she was still begging him that they can find another way. so she can't blame her either.
They were both forced to do this to her.
Rachel frowned when she heard his reply, fiance indeed.
What kind of fiance plot with his fiancee’s best friend and set men up to rape her.
That kind of fiancee, she would rather not have!
“I don’t know you,” Rachel said and held her forehead as if she was having a headache as she tried to remember him.
When one of the staff stationed outside heard her reply, he quickly went to call the doctor.
Miss didn't recognize her fiance even when he showed his face. They all thought that perhaps she would recognize him when she saw him, that was why they allowed him to go in.
He quickly rushed to the doctor’s office to inform him because Xander has a bad temper and he might start throwing things around.
When the doctor saw him enter, he recognised him as one of the guards that The Garcias left in their daughter's hospital room and was immediately alarmed.
Did something happen to Miss Garcia?
Oh shit!
If something happened to her, even tens of him can’t pay for it.
“Mr, what is it? What happened?” The doctor immediately stood up and approached the guard anxiously.
“Miss fiance is around and miss didn't remember him, we thought she would remember him when she saw his face so we allowed him in, but she didn't. So I came to call you to explain to him.” The guard quickly explained to the doctor.
Instantly relieved that nothing major happened, the doctor heaved a sigh of relief.
“The young man that brought her here?” The doctor asked. “He’s back?”
“Yes, he is back, and he has a short temper. He can start throwing things.” The guard quickly.
“Okay let's go.” The doctor replied and took his coat from the peg and ushered the guard out of his office.
“What did you mean by not recognizing me, Araceli? I brought you to this hospital!”
That was the conversation the doctor and the guard heard immediately when they entered, the other guards stationed by the door already entered and were pleading with Xander to leave.
“Mr Xander?” Xander heard a calm voice calling his name and turned around and saw a doctor at his back.
“Yes?” He replied with a frown.
Why is a doctor here?
“Mr Xander, the patient is diagnosed with amnesia and your attitude towards her right now is not beneficial to her health, so I will have to ask you to leave this hospital room.” The doctor responded.
“Amnesia? Like she didn't remember anything?” Xander asked presumably.
Wouldn't that be better?
If she didn't remember anything, that means she didn't remember the setup and how she almost died that day.
That’s good!
“Not everything, she remembers the little man here” The doctor gestures to Ace.
Ace then looked up at smirk at Xander as if saying you see she didn't remember you because you are a bad person.
“She didn't remember her parents too, which came as a surprise to them too, so it's not as if she didn't remember only you.” The doctor concluded with a smile.
“Did you remember what happened to you? I brought you here when I saw you in a basement not far from your office. Can you explain what happened to me? We have to bring those mean people to justice.” Xander said to Rachel in a comforting and caring voice.
Rachel was astonished at this act, she almost shouted omg, this man right here should be awarded Oscar for his performance.
Why wasn't he even an actor rather than a businessman? He would have been a fantastic actor.
No wonder Araceli wasn’t aware of his hypocritical attitude.
She wouldn't have noticed too if she didn't receive Araceli’s memories.
But no worries, she had received her memories and she will make sure that Xander and Alice got to hell and back.
“I don't remember anything about it.” Rachel tried to sound as convincing as she could.
Let him believe that she didn't remember anything, so she can deal with them accordingly.
“Do you remember Alice? She's your best friend from childhood. You should remember her.” Xander urged.
“Alice?” Rachel stated.
She can't pretend she didn't know Alice at all. She would be suspicious of her.
“Yes, Alice. Do you remember her?” Xander asked again.
Seeing her confused face, Ace butted in. “Sister, You don't remember Alice? Alice always buys me toys and plays with me anytime she comes to our house.”
Rachel looked at Ace’s face and saw him looking at her expectantly, she can't help but groan inwardly.
Why he got to look at her with that puppy face?
Rachel turned her head and looked back at Xander and replied to him. “Of Course I remember Alice, we've been friends since I was twelve. Where is she? I've not seen her since I woke up.”Baffled the doctor asked. “But you didn't remember her this morning while your parents were here, ”“Doctor, I remember my parents now, after sleeping I was able to recover bits of my memory,” Rachel told the doctor in a slow voice.“How come you didn't remember me then?” Xander asked, a bit annoyed.Though it's good that she didn't remember the incident, why didn't she remember him? People will think there wasn't love between them.Not that there was but at least for a facade.“How about I call her here for you?” Xander asked.
Rachel took another glass of water and dropped it down carefully while she accessed Alice's expression.That good for nothing backstabbing bitch was having a hard time showing remorse for her supposed-to-be best friend.Rachel couldn't help but feel sorry for Araceli knowing how sweet and kind she was to her even at her time of early departure.A rush of emotions and anger flooded her from within as she looked at the two horrible people in front of her.The more reason she needed to stay in control and make these bastards pay for what they put Araceli through since she was now in her body."Yes, Xander brought me here, " Rachel said with a vile taste
Spending my last few hours in the hospital made me more excited, thrilled and scared at the same time. I was going to finally see how Araceli lived and the clothes she wore, the food she ate knowing her lifestyle will be totally different from mine and blending in without invoking suspicion.The door suddenly swung open and Ace came rushing in with his spiderman T-shirt, black shorts, and white trainers.Rachel watched as he jumped on the bed excitedly swinging my hand left to right, clearly excited and enthusiastic about having his big sister come home after almost two weeks at the hospital."Ara"!"Ara"!"Ara"
"Okay Miss, if you say so," The elderly maid replied skeptically."I am fine Antonia,”Rachel found herself saying with a warm smile.Antonia?!So that's her name…Antonia smiled back and turned to go gently.After she left, Rachel got lost in her thoughts, realizing even though she had transmigrated into Araceli's body, she still carried her past life with her.She was just in Araceli's body but she didn't dislike or react to the things Araceli liked, she was still the same old Rachel.Wednesday 7:30The sun forced its way through the big window and way too expensive curtain and reached her on her bed, Rachel turned and faced
A knock resonated through Rachel's office interrupting the company production records. She had to say, Araceli did a pretty good job managing such a complicated and diverse company such as this one, Every unit in the organization was well sorted and performed well with well filed reports on sales,production and welfare. It made it easy for her to know what she was doing and where she was heading to. Her secretary walked in as she finally discarded her cloud of thoughts while she made a mental appointment to meet all the heads of various departments. The petite woman in front of her wore a navy blue office skirt and a white floral blouse with low black heels and a tied up ponytail giving her face sharper features
Was he dreaming or did Araceli just yell in a public space? He hasn’t seen that much fury or anger before, especially not from the ever calm and meek Araceli which he found boring but now...Now she has ALL of his attention. I mean was it possible for someone to develop a strong and outstanding personality over one strange ass journey, because if that is possible, he will like to take all his exes to conversion therapy because of their dry ass humor.He completely forgot about the hostess he was flirting with and ran out to meet Araceli and met her waiting for her ride outside."Araceli"!!!"Urghhhhh" Rachel groaned internally.
Chapter 11:Signing her first dealToday is the day she has been waiting for. She was both excited but nervous, enthusiastic but worried at the same time. The future of the company depended on this deal she was going to pitch today. Araceli has been working on the deal for over 6months with a whole research base and backup file, she knows that the contract wasn't only important to the company but to Araceli too, this was most of her life's work, hence why she couldn't afford to mess it up.She got up an hour before her alarm due to her restlessness, so she decided to take a run to clear her mind, A run and a good coffee will keep her straight,so she left the house at 6:27 am jogging up to her estate.The sun had partially risen and the air was cool again her face but she could feel the sl
Waking up to the smell of frying bacon and toast is something Rachel can never be used to, she turned in her bed while looking at the time figuring she probably slept through her alarm. She had been catching up on a series she had watched in her past life and slept late, you know, totally "normal" stuff. She went into the bathroom to wash up and wore some casual band tee and comfy sweatpants.On heading downstairs,she could hear Ace telling the cook what he wanted which was quite obvious from the time she has known him, it has always been pancake with chocolate syrup with a glass of cold almond milk, this was Ace every morning breakfast and on rare days he chose to make scrambled eggs with toast and orange juice. She headed to the coffee machine to make her morning dose of caffeine to start the day, she too
