Alle Kapitel von Betrothed: Kapitel 61 – Kapitel 70

I forced myself out of my office in the middle of a meeting leaving the boards shocked.I was the boss but I knew what to and what not to do and of course, I knew how inappropriate it was for me to leave in between the meetings.I found myself trailing the same road that leads to RA Lavando with a mental note to ask the meaning behind the name but right now I have to confirm some things.I have to be sure if I was in love with RA or Racheal.....of course, they are the same person but I couldn't settle with the idea that I still want her......I shouldn't not after what she made me lose.Kelvin's message entered following my butler's own... I planned to check them later.I stood at the receptionist pacing the floor with my hands shoved in my pocket neglecting and ignoring different eyes gawking at me. Of course, I knew the consequences I would be facing the moment I stepped in here that was expected. A new gist will have to trend tonight.I was impatiently awaiting her secretary to come

Rachael's POV.I sat slumped in my office chair, haggardly wiping the tears streaming down my cheeks. I couldn’t stop them; they kept falling, mixing with the ache in my chest. Noah’s words echoed in my mind, reopening a wound I’d tried so hard to bury. I thought I’d moved past it, but all the pain came rushing back as if I’d never healed. My hands trembled as I clutched the edge of the desk, trying to steady myself.Just then, the door creaked open, and I quickly tried to compose myself, swiping at my face. “Mommy?” Ariella’s small voice broke through my haze. She stood in the doorway with wide, concerned eyes, and beside her was Sophia.“Rachael, what’s going on?” Sophia asked her expression a mix of alarm and concern. “You’ve been crying.”“I’m fine,” I said, my voice coming out shakier than I intended. “Just… having a rough day.” I forced a smile, but it felt weak, even to me.Ariella walked over to me and reached up to touch my face, her little brows furrowed with worry. “Mommy,

Kelvin's POVI knew what Kim could be capable of and among them all, never have I ever thought of her capabilities to hurt someone, especially her sister.I was stunned and tongue-tied when I heard the conversation between her and Mrs Houston." Is it possible that what Racheal was saying then might be true? When Racheal said it was all a setup, was she speaking the truth?"I was pondering my thoughts. I had to go on an impromptu business leave and I left one of the crucial files at home so I was left with no choice than just to head back home to pick the files which I successfully only to started heading back and meet the furious Kim.I literally have no intention of listening to their conversation not because I don't want to, of course everything involving Kim has to be giving an ultimate attention. I was in a hurry but yet I had to force me from making myself obvious the moment I heard the mention of Racheal's name.I was in my jet sitting at the window side while I threw my back t

RACHEAL'S POVI felt so down and heartbroken when Noah called me a forbidden fruit. I knew he still saw me as someone who only wanted to ruin him and taint his image again even when I had no intention of such.I love the way he kissed me, it was desperate expressing how much he has been wanting which I started to dwell into hoping for a new start until he said those words.He has a thing for having his way and then leaving me mending the shredded piece of me.I wasn't expecting Kelvin to be in the meeting because I don't remember granting him his requests. I noticed his uneasiness and I walked towards him to confirm that not knowing his real intention against me." Would he kissed me or do something out of my will if Noah hadn't barged in?'I mumbled inaudibly."Kelvin hasn't for once gotten attracted to me and now will not be that moment "I trailed off to my thought before asking Juliet if she sent the invitation letter to Kelvin." He is now one of the contractors so I had to send

Kim’s POVI’d be lying if I said I hadn’t thought about Noah every single day since he walked out of my life. No matter how hard I tried to push him from my mind, he was always there, haunting my thoughts like a ghost that wouldn’t leave. The things he said, the way he looked at me, it all lingered, reminding me of everything I had lost—and everything I still wanted.For too long, I had convinced myself that he was out of reach. That maybe his heart had finally slipped away from me for good, tethered somewhere I couldn't reach. But recently, something changed. I saw how he looked at Racheal, and a spark of jealousy flickered inside me, igniting an idea. Maybe he wasn’t entirely lost to me after all. Maybe I could pull him back into my orbit, and remind him of what we had before she ever showed up.And so, that’s how I found myself making my way to his office that day. It was early evening, and the hallways of his building were empty, quiet, and dimly lit. I could feel the tension tigh
