《Marriage of Benefits》Chapter 333 - The Weekend (1)
Advertisement
Finally the long awaited weekend came and although Rachel was excited about it her heart kept feeling restless. Jessica had already given her the ring and wherever she saw it, she felt a deep connection to it and it made her feel as if it was her ring and not Jessica's but then she thought why would Jessica lie to her.
Now that it was the time to let go of everything and start afresh after this short break, she decided to let go of everything and calm herself down. They had shifted to the new apartment and Rachel had already decorated it. She went to Oliver's room and knocked the door for the 5th time getting irritated "How long are you going to take even if we have to leave a little late at least come out of the room."
His voice came from inside "5 more minutes."
She rolled her eyes and said in an agitated tone "It's been 5 minutes since last half an hour."
He didn't speak for a long time then said "Alright 10 more minutes and I promise I won't take a single more minute than that."
She had no choice but to agree "Be quick"
"Hmm"
She didn't have any other thing to do as he had dealt with all the work beforehand to be prepared so she went to sit in front of the TV to catch up with the news. As she flipped through the channels to see some business news she stopped at one channel when she noticed all if them were showing the same news. She wanted to see what this highlight new was and she was shock when she saw it was from her country. Horrific images of females bodies were shown. Their bodies were completely pale as if the life had been suck out of then but the worst part was that there was no injury on their bodies then she heard the reporter say "5 female bodies were found in this same condition over a period of week and the worst part is that there is no signs of injury to their bodies. There are signs of molestation on their bodies with shows that the killer had used their bodies and then killed them, not even bothering to hide the evidence."

There was a horror stuck expression on her face and as she was the queen of witches and her job was to fight against the evil, she quickly called Jessica who had already been dealing with the mess. Out of 20 bodies she had been able to remove the traces of 15 but because she had to help the person responsible for this to get to a safe place, these 5 had been discovered. When she received Rachel's call, she trembled in fear thinking 'How was she going to deal with the queen?'
She took in a deep breath and picked up the call but before Rachel could say anything she said "I have seen the news and as soon as I find this person in will bring them to our place."
Rachel smiled "You are really good and if you need any help let me know, I want this person by Monday."
Jessica trembled but still replied "What if I am unable to find this person by Monday."
Rachel smiled "Then I will do it myself."
Jessica was scared even more she had to different kind of people to deal with on one hand she had to true to her queen and on the other hand she had the responsibility to protect the head of the dark side. She didn't know what to do but she still said "I will do my best."
Before she could hang up Rachel reminded her "Be careful because I think the head of the dark witches is involved."
Jessica gulped 'Why did she have to be so intelligent and know everything, this was going to be disadvantageous. Even though he won't hurt me knowing that I am a witch, right now he had the full capability to hurt the queen and at the end I would have no choice but to stand besides the queen so let's forget it for now and go with the flow.'
She steeled her heart and said "I won't let you down my queen."
What she meant was that in the end she would stand by the queen's side but right now she had to protect that person and could not let the queen find about him.
Rachel who was not aware of her thoughts said "Good, I trust you so don't ever break it."

She nodded and then realized that she was on a call so said "Never"
Rachel was satisfied and hung up the call when at the same time Oliver came out of his room, she frowned at him and said "What took you so long?"
He had a tired expression on his face as he asked "First tell me how do I look?"
Only after he said Rachel took a look at his outfit although he was dressed in a wonderful english suit but it was too loose that it made him look like a clown.
Rachel looked at him and after assessing him, she tried to hold back her laughter but it was not for too long because after a minute she broke out into a laughter so hard that she had to hold her stomach as it hurt from laughing.
He felt hurt by her expression and said a little angrily "Stop laughing."
Rachel controlled her laughter with much difficulty and then she said "Don't you have a mirror in your room."
He had a dejected look on his face as he said lightly went to borrow a few suits and this one looked the best after I tried them, all the men here are too tall."
Rachel broke into laughter once again "Why do you need to wear it?"
He said with a dejected loom on his face "I was going to take you to a theme restaurant but I don't think that is going to happen."
Rachel suppressed her laughter and said "I can help you with that."
He smiled brightly for a moment but it soon disappeared "What if your dress doesn't fit."
Rachel looked at the dress that he pointed out and said "Don't worry, it will."
She then looked at him "If this is the best one then I wonder how others must have appeared that even you didn't like it, shorty."
When she laughed again, he gritted his teeth "I am not short, it's just that the men here are too tall."
Rachel laughed and nodded her head "Yeah, yeah, you are right."
Although she was making fun of him, he could not help but feel happy as he had not seen her laugh this way since the night Robert died. His heart swelled up with happiness, he didn't mind that he was being a joke because he was happy for being the reason of her happiness.
She had a smile on her face as she helped him fix his clothes but as she got closer to him, all the happiness in his heart vanished and he began to feel nervous and the worst part was that he had no control over his body that showed a reaction on its own. His heart began to race and his cheeks flushed up, if Rachel was to see this reaction of his body, she would laugh at him again but it was not in his control.
He could feel her warmth and intoxicating smell and he just wished to stay like that. It was good that Rachel was so involved in what she was doing that she didn't notice anything else. After she was done and took a few steps back to notice her work still not seeing his face, he let go of the breath, he didn't even know he was holding.
She took a look at him and with a smile she said "Look at the mirror now."
He went to stand in front of the mirror as he was told and had an impressed look on his face "That was not bad."
Rachel smiled "It should do the temporary work and when you have to return it, it can be easily undone without any harm."
He nodded and then looked at her "Now you go and change."
She looked at him and asked "Why didn't you give that to me before?"
He looked down and said "I was worried that you will be have to change again if nothing was to fit me."
He handed her a few dresses and said "Wear whichever one you like and bring the rest."
She looked at him confused "Why didn't you buy them?"
He smiled "They don't sell these clothes, they are just for rent so I had no other choice."
Rachel nodded and talking all the dresses, she went to her room and began to look at all the beautiful dresses that she displayed in front of her on the bed.
