Rachel slowly shook her head, it was better to feign amnesia. That way Alice and Xander would think she didn’t remember anything and they would relax their guards against her.
Then she would be able to hit them where it hurts!
She definitely remembered what happened, those two ruthless and heartless demons in human bodies. She will make sure that they paid for what they did.
“You didn’t remember them either?” Mr. Garcia asked, shocked again.
Then after some time, he gently nodded. It was only right that she didn’t remember them too since she didn’t remember him and her mother. If she had remembered her best friend and also her fiancé without remembering they would have felt insignificant to her.
“Okay, still good. Still good. Apart from this. Do you remember anything else? Like education, work, do you remember the project you are working on?” Mr. Garcia asked curiously again.
She had to remember the billionaire deal she was working on, she was really passionate about it.
Mr. Garcia looked at Araceli carefully for any trace of recognition, he watched as Araceli nodded her head slowly after a few minutes.
“Yes, I remembered. The international deal with the Chinese government. Business Rival- The Crown investment company, CEO Yandel Baldwin.” Rachel voiced out the words as it was recorded in her memory.
“Good! Good! You remember! Did you also remember Yandel Baldwin?” Mr. Garcia asked excitedly when he saw that she remembered the business deal. Hopefully, she will also remember the CEO of the company because they’ve met several times.
“Yandel Baldwin?” Rachel asked confusedly?
Oh! She said that name just now. But it was only the name that was in her head, no other memories of him.
It was empty in her head.
But as her father was looking at her, she could see that the person should be more than just some two-letter words in her head.
Rachel looked at her father again,
Come on!
Say something!
something and give me something to search on.
Mr. Garcia looked at Araceli again and saw that she actually didn’t remember anything apart from the young man’s face.
That’s also good. He heard that Araceli and the man weren't really friends. Perhaps now that she didn't remember anything she would use this opportunity to make friends with him so they can know his weakness.
“No worries if you didn't remember him, just act accordingly when next you see him.” Mr. Garcia replied dismissively.
She is running a billionaire deal currently and she also has a business rival.
Hmm. No worries!
She can deal with that, she has an MBA and she was also at the top of her class.
She had always loved business administration but in her past life her parents weren't rich and she wasn't able to secure a job at the company she really desired to work.
She was actually expecting their reply for the 22nd time when she decided to go to her boyfriend’s house. So she can celebrate it together with him because this time she knows that we're going to accept her because they are giving certain privileges to people that have submitted their applications more than 20 times.
That company was the best in Alaska, they only picked geniuses all over the world. If she ever entered that company she didn't have to worry about what to eat the next day anymore with her younger sister and her parents.
People thought she was crazy because she rejected all the offers that were proposed to her by all other companies.
Even her parents thought she was crazy. It was only her boyfriend that believed in her, that was why she went to see him that day.
But on getting there, she received the biggest shock of her life.
She saw her boyfriend in a shameful art with the supposed friends of his that he told her not to be worried about because they were just friends.
Then met her untimely death on her way back home.
Rachel quickly stopped thinking about her miserable past, so she won't look so out of it in front of her new parents.
“How many weeks did you have left to stay in the hospital?” Mr.Garcia turned around and asked the doctor who was still with them.
“She has to stay a week longer for us to keep up with her health for a while before she can be discharged.” the doctor replied.
“Just a week? Are you sure she will be better before then?” Mrs. Garcia asked the doctor worriedly.
“Yes definitely. She survived the surgery so the huge wave is over. It's smooth sailing now.” The doctor replied to her with a smile.
“Oh- that's good then.” Mrs. Garcia felt a sudden rush of relief overwhelmed her.
Seeing that they were getting comfortable with each other, the doctor decides to leave the patient with her family.
Immediately the doctor left, Rachel quickly tensed up. She was now alone with the new family she was entrusted with but she didn't know how to act.
What if they noticed that she wasn't their daughter?
Rachel couldn't help but be scared of the questions they could ask her and how they would interpret her behaviors and actions.
But to her surprise, they didn't ask her anything. They were just gisting and reminding her of the things they did together as a family. Maybe she would remember her parents.
Rachel felt a sudden gush of happiness flowing into her heart. This family is a really happy one, even though they were billionaires they were still happy and united with one another.
It must be a reward she worked for in another life, definitely not the one she just died in because she didn't have a bit of luck. Going from selecting what to wear every day to who to date.
Her dressing was always a bad combination alongside the men she finds herself in love with.
“Before you woke up, Xander was here, he said he would be back and that he had to attend to some things.” Mrs. Garcia said to Araceli as she remembered.
The poor boy had been with Araceli since three days ago when they rushed her to the hospital. He hadn't even left to take a shower, he was by her side all day.
If someone carefully looked at him, one would see that he was already growing some beards on his jaw.
“Xander?” Rachel asked, confused again. “Oh, My fiancé,” She quickly pretended to remember after feigning surprise.
“Yes, your fiancé. He was the one that brought you here from the basement. He said he didn’t know how you got to a basement 200 km from your office, that he was able to determine your location because of a tracking device that he inserted in your phone case without your knowledge.” Mrs. Garcia explained to her daughter.“He planted a tracker on me?!” Rachel asked, stunned with her eyes widened open.She quickly checks her tone to see if she isn’t as loud as she thought she was.That dumb shit planted a tracker on her?Rachel quickly checked her memories to see if she had any memories of when she realized that a tracker was planted on her. But she wasn’t able to
“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 Alic
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.
