《Marriage of Benefits》Chapter 206 - The Close Escape (3)
Advertisement
When Rachel woke up she feared that she would be in the same hell so before opening her eyes she moved her arms and when she was sure she was not tied up she breathed a sigh of relief then she slowly opened her eyes and registered her surroundings.
She was in a beautiful, huge and spacious room and she could make out that whoever saved her was very rich. Although she was from a rich family too but she felt like she was in some kind of a royal room.
She looked around to carefully to take in her surroundings, she was lying on a huge king size bed with a very soft mattress and two pillows on it's head, she was covered by a very warm blanket, she looked around and saw a huge wooden wardrobe in the wall and on the other side was a dressing table with a full length mirror. In front of her she saw big doors that opened to this room and it was beautifully decorated just in the way that it reminded her of someone, the person she saw before she fell unconscious.
At that moment she felt that she was just seeing things as a result of her survival instincts but now this room reminded her of that one person but she had not seen her for a long time and was not even able to reach her as if she had suddenly disappeared then she realized what had happened to her in past few days, her life had completely turned around, she didn't know what was going on anymore, she didn't know what was so special in her because she just felt like a normal human being.
She closed her eyes and the realization of being hurt by the person she loved hit her and silent tears rolled down her eyes but then she remembered him telling her that the person she loved was dead and he had just taken his body, more tears fell out of her eyes. She sat up, hugged her knees and placed her head on top of then burying her face into her knees, she didn't know what she was going to do next and more importantly she didn't even understand what was going on. She cried her heart out and then she felt a hand land on her shoulder, it was the same now she was sure it was her.

She thought that maybe she will get her answers and maybe her best friend will tell her everything and she will know everything. She didn't look up because she feared that it may not be the person she wanted to see so she just confirmed with her head buried in her knees "Jess, is it you."
Jessica was so shocked that she recognized her without even looking at her, she had missed her so without saying anything she just hugged her and after a long pause she spoke "Yes it's me."
So many questions were troubling her she wanted to ask so many things but she didn't know where to begin and what to ask so she just enjoyed the warmth of her friend for that moment and hugged her tightly "I missed you so much."
Jessica's eyes glistened with tears but she controlled herself because she had more important things to deal with right now. She pulled her back and asked "Are you fine."
Rachel nodded although her body was in so much pain from the pain it endured, she wants to scream of pain when she was hugged but she suppressed it not to worry her much, she looked at her and Jessica was ready for the bombarding questions she knew were coming her way.
