Patrick told them he would arrest the guy who has been captured, to which the three old men agreed as they promised him that they wouldn't do anything illegal and would let Patrick handle everything legally.

"No"

​​

Everyone looked at the source of voice in surprise.

It was Rachel.

"I don't want you to do anything for now" Rachel ordered them.

"Why?" Patrick questioned her.

"I'll tell you later but that guy is not going anywhere for now and will stay wherever the guards took him to, also grandpa I need to know where this place is that they took him."

James then told her about that bungalow which belonged to the three old men and how they use it for illegal purposes.

Rachel couldn't believe there was so much stuff being hidden from her.

She was speechless and she didn't have the energy to fight with them further so she went back to her room to rest.

She again ignored Daniel and left.

Patrick took his leave and went back to his workplace.

Daniel asked Anthony to take the two old men somewhere as he had to talk to Rachel.

Anthony noticed Rachel's behavior towards Daniel and he agreed to his grandson's request and insisted the three old men go to some place and after some persuasion from Anthony they agreed as they too were all disturbed and needed to go somewhere to clear their minds.

Daniel assured them he will stay here till they come back so they left. Daniel locked the door after they left and headed to Rachel's room.

Just like he expected her door of her room was locked from inside, he patiently knocked on her door and there was no response but he didn't give up and he continued knocking on it.

"I want to be alone right now." Rachel shouted from inside her room after getting annoyed by continuous knocking on the door.

Daniel didn't say anything and just lightly banged on the door.

Rachel got annoyed with the banging noise and opened the door in anger, "Grandpa, can you not…" She was surprised to see Daniel, she thought it was her grandpa.

Seeing Daniel there she just kept quiet and tried to close the door but he tightly held the door stopping her from closing it, then with a hard push he opened the door and entered her room.

Rachel got angry as he successfully entered her room so she decided to head out but before that Daniel held her wrist and pulled her inside.

He pulled her in forcefully so she couldn't balance herself and fell on him, she angrily tried to move back but Daniel held onto her tightly with both his arms around her waist.

"Let go" She tried to struggle by pushing him with both her hands.

He still held her but she kept struggling so Daniel let go of her but he held both her hands and pushed her to the wall behind and pinned her arms to her either side.

"Let go of me" She angrily shouted at him.

"I will once you decide to talk to me."

"Is this how you are going to force me to talk to you?"

"If this is what it takes, then this is it."

Rachel tried to struggle to free her arms but Daniel held them tightly, so Rachel decided to shout for help from her servants.

Understanding her intention Daniel covered her mouth with his.

Rachel didn't expect this move and was startled, her lips were parted so he entered her mouth to hold her in place.

Rachel struggled to get rid of him but she couldn't so she bit on his lips harshly, he hissed in pain but didn't let go of her lips and continued kissing her roughly.

Since the moment she was attacked and was safe Daniel wanted to take her in his arms but he couldn't and now she was really angry with him but yet he wanted to kiss her as if there is no tomorrow.

Rachel struggled harder but the more she struggled the more he devoured her.

Only when he felt she couldn't breathe, he broke their kiss.

"Are you crazy?" She shouted at him while panting heavily.

"Not yet but if you keep ignoring me like this then it is not long for me to go crazy"

"Let go of me Daniel" She again ordered him after she calmed down.

"Only if you let me explain myself."

"I don't want to hear your explanation."

"Why?"

"Because I know you will lie"

"I will not, since you already know everything there is anyway no point for me to lie." He was talking about the time when he met Patrick and the three old men, he assumed that is why she was upset.

"Really Daniel? You will not lie?"

"I promise, I will not"

"Think twice before you promise."

"I don't need to as I told you before I hate lying to you, if it was not for grandpa James I wouldn't have hidden about that meeting from you."

"Oh, really?" She scoffed at his words and sarcastically asked him.

"What happened Rachel? Why are you acting like this?" Daniel could sense her sarcasm and he had a bad feeling about it.

"Where were you today morning?" She questioned him looking straight into his eyes.

Daniel gulped in fear and his eyebrows frowned, he didn't expect Rachel to ask him this.

"What happened Daniel? Are you wondering why I am suddenly asking this or are you trying to come up with a more convincing lie?"

Daniel who still pinned her to the wall, let go off her.

"You have no answer to my question or you would say when the time is right you will tell me?" She again questioned him.

He turned away from her as he couldn't face her.

She forcefully turned him around and made him face her.

"You cannot answer me, can you?" Rachel was infuriated.

"I can but I don't want to." Daniel finally said, his voice was calm and he looked broken, she could see the man who furiously pinned her to the wall was gone and was replaced by a sad and broken soul.

Rachel's heart broke when she saw him in this sorrowful and dejected state.

If he was as furious as she was then she could have fought with him but when he looked miserable she couldn't have the heart to shout at him or blame him or question him, her heart ached seeing him like this.

She held his face in her hands and looked into his eyes, "Daniel, you don't have to answer any of my questions, I am sorry for treating you like that."

Daniel was surprised with the sudden change in her.

"Why are you apologizing?" He was confused.

"For bringing you into this state, please Daniel don't look so sad and dejected, it breaks my heart"

Daniel closed his eyes to calm himself down and he opened it, "Rach, today morning I was in…"

Rachel placed her finger on his lips to stop him from speaking, "Don't say it, you just told me you don't want to answer me, so please don't. I can never make you do anything that you do not intend to."

"Rachel the reason I did not want to tell you about it is because I am scared."

"Why are you scared?" She couldn't understand what he meant by being scared.

"I am scared you will hate me."

"Daniel I will never hate you, no matter what."

"But when you know about my other side, you will."

"I won't"

"Yes you will Rachel, this is a side of me which I hate, so how can you not?"

"Do your parents hate this other side of you? Does Jimmy hate this other side of you? Does Jessica hate this other side of you?" Rachel questioned him.

He just shook his head, answering her that they don't.

"Then why will I?"

Daniel took a long breath before answering her, "I am not really the person you think I am"

"Hmm, I agree" Rachel just nodded her head.

Daniel kept looking down, not able to meet her eyes.

Rachel then said, "The way you ruthlessly stabbed that driver today, it was obvious in that moment you were not the person we all think you are."

Daniel then looked at her, "When did you realize it was me?"

"When you started beating that guy, I had a feeling it was you but later I don't know exactly when but I understood it was you."

"I am sorry Rachel, I was really furious and…"

"Are you apologizing for saving my life and catching the culprit?"

"I know you were scared when I pierced that knife into him."

"Honestly I was shocked but I was not scared."

"You were not?" He finally looked at her.

"Of course I was not. I was scared when that driver suddenly attacked Sam and Frank and drove me somewhere but when you came to my rescue I felt relieved."

"How did you know it was me?"
