Richard looked neat in his clothes. He walked out of his room and headed towards one of the dungeons where Gior was being held.The deck walked down the stairs of the dark corridor.is arrival at the bottom, he went,t straight to a room they used to isolate the prisoners they captured. Inside the dimly lit room was a small table with two chairs.Gior sat on one of the chairs, looking weak, pale, and covered in bruises on his face.As soon as his subordinates noticed Richard's arrival, the door to the room was opened from the inside. Richard then walked in and sat in the chair in front of Gior. "So, how are you doing?" Richard asked while smiling pleasantly.Gior, who landed on the table, raised his head upright and looked at the church with a fierce and sharp gaze. "You bastard!" he cursed and tried to attack Richard from that position but was restrained by the hands tied behind the chair.As a result, instead of being able to attack Richard, he is jerked back into his seat.While Rich
Seeing Rachel there with so much preparation, Richard couldn't refuse her sudden invitation. He had planned to do something else, spending time alone because his head was still tired.But he canceled his intention when he saw Rachel standing before him carrying a basket more significant than his body size. "Alright let's go, where do you want to go?" she took over the basket that Rachel was carrying instead of carrying."Okay!" Rachel exclaimed excitedly, she immediately turned her body around and slipped her arm around Richard's, holding onto him tightly without any awkwardness. "I want to go to Fritz Lake. Let's go there."Richard nodded his head in agreement and led her out. He watched Rachel with warm concern as he opened the car door for her, helping her to fasten the seat belt as they sat inside.After about 30 minutes of traveling, they arrived at Fritz Lake. Since they didn't arrive there on a weekend but rather on a weekday, there weren't many other visitors enjoying their ti
They went back to enjoying their date together, spending time at the frozen lake more quietly. Enjoying it longer made it hard for them to make jokes and laugh and then return to paying attention to their surroundings with a sense of comfort."Lately it seems like you're very tired, I had some doubts about whether to come to you or not." Rachel spoke while playing with the fingers of Richard's hand.Richard turned to her calmly and attentively. "Why is that?" she wondered because all she knew was that Richard had free time every time she knew.Without Richard knowing it was an effort made for their relationship, she dismissed her thoughts and indecision just to get closer to Richard.Rachel smiled embarrassedly, taking her eyes off Richard and focusing more on the fingers being played with. "Like earlier for example, I was thinking that maybe I disturbed you. I shouldn't have shown up but I forced myself to show up and interrupt. But I'm worried that if I don't, our relationship will
"Get out of here right now." She ignored what Richard said, trying to pull Rachel away forcefully. "What's wrong with giving us your phone number?"Not accepting their rude treatment of Rachel, Richard grabbed the man's shirt collar and pulled him close, setting his jaw hard and glaring at him. "I told you not to bother her, didn't you hear me!" Richard's tone of voice sounded low yet pressing and cold.It was back to hardening his jaw and acting unafraid in front of Richard; he was even more furious with Richard's attitude, which seemed to challenge him. "No, I'm not listening to what you're saying, asshole! What do you want, huh?" the man was becoming increasingly belligerent.Rachel, panicking about the situation, tried pulling Richard away. "Richard, come on, never mind them." She was worried that Richard would get hurt, and she couldn't do anything to help.Rasa's hand was tightly wrapped around Richard's waist. From her side, she was trying hard to prevent Richard from getting i
Ri"I'm not defending him but he's right about that." Brad looked at his wife with a look that tried to explain.But Wilona needed help understanding what they were talking about. "Right about what? Right about making things difficult for herself? Akira. After she got Tanti involved with all those business dealings, will she still think the same way?" he knew who Rachel was and how her ambition would lead her to continue. "She'll probably do everything amazingly, which then makes her feel less and less, and then you'll end up seeing her cancel this engagement.""I won't!" Rachel insisted on denying that.But Wilona smiled skeptically. "Are you sure you won't? With a nature that doesn't want to do things halfway, are you sure you can control yourself?" Her mother shook her head weakly. "No Rachel, I know you.""Mom listen to me first!" Rachel was frustrated. "I'm doing this because I want to be someone Richard can rely on, to be a better person for him, why would you think I would leav
"Are you serious about helping?" Rachel looked at her excitedly.Lily nodded her head with a smile. "Yes, of course. I wouldn't mind helping out; I'm in that field these days anyway." She confidently boasted of her abilities."Yes, Lily is currently serving as a business consultant. That is her job, if you are interested in asking questions and are engaged in business she will certainly help." Their good friend validated Lily."Look, that's my job. So relax; I will help you." She rubbed Rachel's hand warmly and then flashed her friendly smile in front of Rachel.Rachel nodded her head happily. She felt that her choice to go out tonight was a good thing, and because of that decision, her situation became calmer after talking with her friends.They continued their conversation about various things. There, they enjoyed their time with sweet and comforting foods. Their togetherness in that place became more lively. They did not realize that time had passed for a long time."I think we sho
"Sir, I have something to tell you." Smith stood in front of Richard's desk. The 40-year-old man's serious look was wrapped in his usual calmness.Tomorrow momentarily broke away from his work and looked at Smith. "What is it? Just tell me. I'll listen.""It's about Miss Rachel, sir." The man said Rachel's name very carefully."What's wrong with her?" This time, Richard's attention was centered on the report Smith was about to explain.Smith looked at Richard obediently. "Earlier Miss Rachel met with her friends, two days ago. They seemed to be spending time together. That meeting continued with one of them today, but unlike their previous meeting the person I ordered to watch overheard their conversation."Smith had an obligation to monitor many aspects of the Morrison family, including Rachel's current role. So he ordered someone to monitor Rachel for reasons ranging from Rachel's own safety to the safety of the Morrison family, which might be endangered by Rachel's influence."They
"Argh! How can this be happening to me?" She made up in her room, still covering herself with the blanket and jerking his legs in the air.She still couldn't accept her situation; the shame that came over her was enough to make her not want to move and become so moody. Her mood was ultimately affected; now, she was not in the mood to do anything, even to move or eat.Since Rachel had been in her room alone since morning, her mother and father felt that something strange had happened to her. They finally found out why after one of Rachel's friends called them on their home phone.Ena called them and asked about Rachel's current condition because she had been calling Rachel, but Rachel never answered her phone. Because of her anxiety, it was good to ask her parents how she felt, and she couldn't come to check on herself because of her busy schedule.Ena began to explain where the problem came from. She told them about Lili and the possibility of Rachel working with her. Then, she also m
