Chapter 16 playing nice and dumb
"Xander…".
"Woah...it's the so much excitement to see your fiancé for me," Xander said bitterly and
sarcastically.
The Gracia’s driver came towards Yandel and took Ace from him and took him upstairs after just
watching what was transpiring in front of him.
"For someone who planned her rape and tried to break off the marriage he seemed pretty pissed
when I should be the one pissed…" Rachel thought.
"Excuse me, what are you talking about, you badged into my privacy and you expect me to be
awning with joy and smiles because my lord and saviourXander decided to grace me with his presence
after weeks of acting like i didn't exist,” Rachel replied exploding in a smug tone.
It must take a lot of balls for him to be angry at her after what he did.
"Oh not this again please,I told you I was busy with work!!!" Xander half yelled.
"Work, your company is almost bankrupt and at the verge of breakdown,i still don't get what you
mean by work Xander, ” Rachel spat out provocatively at him.
"Oh and if you ask me, I think you have been busy sticking your honey stick in jars that are not
mine but hey, what else can I do when I'm supposed to be "hopelessly in love" with you my lord,"
Rachel added dripping in sarcasm.
"Talking back to me!!"
"Coming home late at night with rather strange and suspicious men!!!"
"Not picking your calls!!!!"
"Common Araceli ,this isn't the you I know, the you I'm familiar with was so caring, meek, gentle,
obedient…" Xander listed all the characters and attributes of the former Araceli after judging her.. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
"Weak, easily believing, manipulated human puppet,” Rachel interrupted before Xander could
finish his statement..
"I know you missed the Araceli you could control and ask for large sum of money to help your so
called business and get away with not paying back because of how gullible and docile I was with you,
well guess what xXander...that Araceli is fucking gone you, dumbass dimwitted manipulative bastard, ”
Rachel spat heavily.
"But you are the supposed love of my life," Rachel smiled at xander so convincingly, the attitude
switched like someone had flipped
A switch in her head took both Xander r and Yandel by surprise.
"I will not let you talk like that to me Araceli!!" He said.
"I'm your fiancé and I demand respect…"
"Oh please shut your pathetic hole xander love, I'm tired already of your ever standing demand of
respect when you don't show the same," Rachel interrupted.
Xander held the bridge of his nose, the whole reform in her attitude was definitely taking a huge
effect on him and she was starting to be a problem.
"I demand you apologize," Xander tried to say calmly.
"Yes I demand you apologize to Araceli,” a high pitched voice said coming from the kitchen.
"You gotta be kidding me…not that double bitch face telling me what to do in my own goddamn
house,"Rachel thought as she groaned out loud.
"Alice, what the hell are you doing here, ” Rachel tried to say calmly.
"Oh I was worried about you ofcourse Ara dear, Xander called me at 10 that you haven't picked
your call and you weren't home, the best I could do was come over," Alice said sweetly mischievously,
staring at her. "Or am I not welcome at your house anymore??" Alice asked, trying to fake hurt.
"I mean….I could always leave if that's what you want, I get it, we are slowing growing apart and if
you want nothing to do with me, I totally understand Aracel, ”Alice said even though she was sitting on
the couch now with her legs crossed looking Araceli in the eye.
"Rachel why don't you let this go tomorrow is another day" Yandel said intervening for the first
time.
"No Baldwin, stay out of it" Rachel said with finality in her voice.
Why do I have to face these devil spawns today of all days.
All she wanted was to take a nice hot shower to wash off the tears and stress of today she had
burdened herself with while trying to find Ace.
Was a nice shower too much to ask for now?
Xander she could handle, but both of them at the same time!.that was a back breaking hassle she
wasn't up for this night.
"Alice I suggest you go home for your own good, it's getting late...I will hate for something bad to
happen to your dear" Rachel said looking at her directly, she could see the girl got the message.
"Oh love don't worry, Xander will be giving me a ride home" Alice replied pointedly trying to gain a
reaction from her.
"Oh then I wouldn't want to keep you guys waiting then, Xander please take her home, I will hate
that she gets a bad headache hopefully from waking up later,” she said with heavy sass.
Yandel wasn't much of a conversation person but he could feel the dislike and distaste they had for
each other.
Even though Rachel said they were best friends,he can tell that they are not anymore because
Rachel seemed so keen on kicking her out nicely that it became so obvious.
"I need to make sure you are alright before I leave though" Alice said, touching her chest in pity.
"Alice I'm fine, trust me I should worry more about myself if i were you,” Rachel said getting closer
to Araceli.
Xander didn't know what so say, he had device the plan of being very annoyed and frustrated with
Araceli for no reason till she presented him with the perfect excuse to be angry with her.
Now that Alice got herself in the word exchange,he couldn't help but not want to get involved
because the exchange was getting a little more intense than he and Alice had agreed to make it.
"I mean you sleeping with your business rival is low even for you baby girl," Alice uttered suddenly
with a voice dripping with mischief.
"Well while you were being an idle gold digger, I got past that little rivalry and actually made
something out of it" Rachel said matching the bad energy.
"But you wouldn't have known that now, would you….you always had an eye for things that aren't
yours, ” Rachel finished looking her in the eye.
If Alice hadn't taken the hint before while they were exchanging words, she definitely got it now
because Araceli didn't hide it anymore which left her wondering.
"Did Araceli really know about her and Xander?..."
No, Araceli wasn't smart like that, there's no way she would know about them.
She and Xander have been together for 2 years, there's no way she would know now.
"Look I'm sorry alright ,I'm just really tired and Ace went missing today, and with the police and me
being extremely worried I kinda lost my shit. I'm sorry guys for coming late and not picking my calls and
worrying the shit out of you." Rachel said, trying to cover the almost blown up operation she had going
on.
I knew she knew nothing, same old gullible Araceli…
"It's ok alright." Alice said, getting up to give her a fake hug.
"It's fine." Xander said.
"I suggest we leave her to rest, today was rather unpleasant for us,” '' Yandel added, causing
Xander to stare at him with disdain before exiting with Alice while Rachel's expression remained stoic.
"You were on fucking fire," Yandel said to Rachel after the two uninvited people left, the comment
making her laugh ralittle.
"As much as I would love to talk my ass off with you, I'm really tired, Baldwin," Rachel said tiredly.
"I can't believe he thought we were sleeping together, is he usually this commanding?" He asked.
“What? Am I not hot enough, ” Rachel asked, throwing a glare at him,
“Of course not, but is he usually as commanding as this?” Yandel asked again, after chuckling a
bit.
"Yeah sometimes" Rachel replied, starting to feel the weight of her eyelids triple, she definitely
needed to get to bed rest before she passed out. She walked him to the door while yawning repeatedly.
"So...today was nice.." Yandel stated slowly and Rachel quickly refuted.
"Nice is not exactly the word but it was cool I guess" Rachel said.
"Have a goodnight rest Celi,”
"You too baldwin" she said smiling
As she closed the doors and ascended the stairs, she got a text from Baldwin
Baldwin
You are so hot when you were mad
