RACHEL'S P.O.V





' How?" I asked, looking at Adam in surprise.




'I don't know how, but the shape-shifting has stopped, and she's back to normal as Rhea."








" Then tell her to come back before Axel sees her," I replied.




'That's the problem. He found her before she could escape and when she ran away from the hospital he still went after her. And he has her in his palace now.




'Oh no. That's bad." I stopped what I was doing and turned to him. He was looking out of the window fuming.




"Very bad and I don't know what to do. But we need to bring her back so we can find another way to get the scroll."




"But do you think he will let her go this time around?" I asked, walking to him and I held his arms. He turned and smiled weakly at me.




'No he won't, but we will have to find a way to get her from him. But it's going to be very hard, but it's possible if he hasn't marked her yet."




"Oh. But what if he marks her before we can take her away? Don't you think you should let them be ? Leave the revenge for karma." I tried to reason with him, but he flared up.




" Don't tell me that, my parents and loved ones were killed by them, and you want me to let it slide? No, I won't, I will get revenge else if it's with the last drop of blood in my veins." My eyes teared up, and I moved away from him. So he still loved people that were a long time dead over a living like me. I was beyond hurt.




"So you are ready to die for dead people and leave me alone ? I thought you said you loved me, but you are proving to me that your words are all lies. Die for them and leave me alone?" I moved back from him with my tears running down.




"Racheal, please I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that, I was just frustrated and aggravated." I looked away.




'No, don't apologize. You still love your late wife and children more than me. Despite everything I did for you. I stayed with you when you were at your lowest point.




But it's fine, I shouldn't have trusted you and your deceiving words." I stopped and went out of the room.




Going down the stairs to the kitchen, I took out a bottle of whiskey. I barely drink alcoholic drinks, but today I wanted to drown myself in it. I opened the bottle and I started drinking it out of the bottle. Feeling high immediately, I sat on the table and continued drinking.




I drank almost half the content of the bottle, the kitchen door opened and Adam walked in when he saw me drinking. He cursed before rushing and collecting the bottle away from me.




'Babe, what's wrong with you? Why are you drinking? I'm very sorry for saying all that to you," he apologized.




"Leave me alone. I don't want to talk to you. Give me back my bottle. At least it makes me happy, and you don't." I said, reaching out for the bottle, but he pulled it away from me.




' I said I'm sorry, and I will never make you feel like I love them more than you. But I just want to avenge their death. It's not easy to lose one's entire family in one day. But you have been the only thing I'm still holding on to."




" I'm the only thing you are still holding on to, but you don't want to stop the revenge."




'Enough of this discussion, you need to go to bed. I don't know why you decided to drink alcohol when you know you have zero tolerance for alcohol." He scolded me and I smiled.




'Adam, kiss me," I said, and he shook his head.




'No babe, you are drunk, and you don't know what you are doing. I can't do something like that when you are drunk."




"So you don't find me attractive?"




"Hell no babe, you are the most attractive woman in the world to me. And that's why I can't kiss you because you look seductive in that dress and I might do something crazy," he said. I was barely hearing him, but I know he talked about not touching me.

'I want you to do something crazy please."




'That's it, babe, come to bed or else you might find it hard to walk tomorrow," he said, and I blushed.




'Fine. Carry me to our room." He nodded and picked me up.




When we got to the room, and he lay me on the bed, I pulled him and our lips met. I kissed him, and he kissed me back like a hungry lion.




'Babe, I might lose my self-control, and I don't want you to regret anything please," he said, pulling away from me, but I held him.




'I'm ready Adam," I said, breathing hard, and he looked at me confusedly.




' Please," I whined.




'Racheal, no I won't. I want it to be when you are in your right senses, so it can be really amazing. I don't want to regret it later," he said, pulling himself off me, and he walked out of the door. I groaned and rubbed my forehead.




He came back a few minutes later holding a mug and I looked away.




"Hey babe. Drink up this tea so you will feel better in no time," he said, handing the cup over to me and I collected it, draining the whole tea at a go.




'Good, babe. Thank you," he said, going back to drop the cup, and he came back immediately.




'I want to sleep, Adam. Good night," I said, snuggling myself into the duvet. He lied down beside me.




'Don't worry babe. Whenever you are ready, as long as you aren't drunk. Then I'm ready for you," he said, smiling, and we slept off in each other's arms.
