《Marriage of Benefits》Chapter 344 - Causing trouble (1)
Advertisement
Jessica noticed how his behavior was just the same as before in protecting his love and he still got jealous easily. She could not let his anger cause any destruction here at this time so she said "What are you angry for, were you not the one who wanted to destroy her, now you have just met her and you want her all for yourself. You were never interested in any lady who came to you and she is a mere stranger to you for whom you want to destroy this wall. She is my best friend and I know that Oliver is interested in her, he proposed her although she didn't accept it, she still stays with him."
Robert gritted his teeth and took a step back thinking about what was happening to him and why his body was reacting like that. He took in several deep breaths and said "Let's go" then without waiting for her to follow him, he went out of the house towards the car. Jessica heaved a sigh of relief and went to look for Jamie.
When she spotted her, she said "I was looking for you to tell you that I am leaving."
Jamie looked at her worried "Why, what happened?"
Jessica creased her brows and said "You were right about the feelings, when Robert saw Rachel with Oliver he got angry and was about to destroy the wall. I had to stop him and it was too hard so the safest option here is for me to take him back."
Jamie nodded her head "This is going to be more troublesome than I thought, their feelings are too strong but memories are completely erased. Nonetheless we will have to manage it and move forward."
Jessica nodded her head "I will leave then and before coming here I noticed that the evil witches are planning something themselves as Robert is not ready to make a move yet so help me to inform Rachel."
Jamie said "I will talk to her after the party you go ahead and take care of him."
Jessica nodded and went out to see that Robert was already sitting in the car, she sat in and asked "Are you going to drive?"
He looked at her sharply "Is there a problem with that?"

Jessica looked her head and silently prayed for her life, it would be tragic for a witch to die in a car accident rather than in a fight but she had to sit through her brother's anger. He vented his anger at the accelerator and the car ran it's full speed where Jessica sat with her breath stuck in her throat as if her life was hanging by a thin thread that could be broken at any time.
As they reached home, Robert went to his room and locked it, Jessica didn't dare to disturb her and didn't go to disturb him. He lay down on the bed with one arm that covered his eyes and the other hand dug deep into the covers. The image of the girl dancing with him appeared in his mind and he wondered what was so special about this woman that he could not get her out of his mind. He didn't move for a long while and lay there like that just to calm himself down.
After Rachel was done talking to Oliver's parents she talked with Oliver for a while as her gaze constantly searched for the person that had left her abruptly. She could not find him and that made her a little disappointed so she smiled at Oliver and said "You enjoy the party, I want to take a break."
He nodded with a smile and when she left the smile on his face dropped "Why is it always him, he was just here for a few minutes and she is already thinking about him."
Rachel went to her mother and said "Mom, I am feeling tired now, can you handle the rest of it."
Jamie smiled and nodded her head "Go ahead and sleep, I will handle it. Everyone is already leaving so it should not be long."
Rachel smiled "Alright then, goodnight"
Jamie kissed her forehead "Good night sweetie, have a good sleep."
Rachel nodded her head and went to her room. She changed her clothes and lay down on the bed when Jamie entered her room "Thank God, you are not asleep yet."
Rachel sat up straight and looked at her "What's wrong?"
"There is something important that I forgot to tell you."
"Hmm"
"The evil witches are up to something, I don't know what but they are definitely crafting a plan."

Rachel got out of her bed and changed her clothes to the ones that she was supposed to wear as a queen "Don't worry, I will have a look, you take care of the people downstairs."
Jamie nodded her head and left her alone. Rachel locked the door and after spreading her wings, she flew away into the sky. When she reached the castle, she went straight to her room and stood in front of a huge red screen, she touched it's surface and closing her eyes she enchanted a spell. After she retracted her hand and looked at the screen she could see what the evil witches were doing. This was a special secret device only known to the queens to keep a check of there was anything suspicious around her. If the queen suspected anyone or anything she could secretly spy on them through this device.
As she was observing them do their thing, she could not figure out what they were upto but she kept watching and soon enough she heard a knock at her door. One of the witches had seen the queen arrive and she wished to be there is the queen needed anything so she had come here to ask. When Rachel heard the knock, she said without looking away from the screen "Yes"
As she was not allowed to come in yet, she asked from outside "Your Highness, do you need any help."
She furrowed her eyebrows as she could not make out what these people were upto so she still didn't take her eyes off as she said "I will be here for a while and you make sure that no one disturbs me. I don't want any sound reaching inside this room and send Rafel into my room."
The person outside understood that she was doing something important so she said "Yes, my queen"
Rachel narrowed her eyes at the screen as she looked at the person in front of her and she figured out that this person looked somewhat like Robert but she dismissed the thought soon because if he had been evil, she would have noticed that. Soon she heard a roar outside the door and she said "Come in"
Rafel bowed his head at the queen as he entered the room and she said "Close the door behind, I would like to discuss something with you."
Rafel closed the door and came to stand next to her looking at the screen, she was observing when he heard Rachel say "Can you figure out what they are upto because until now what I can observe is that they are planing to cause trouble with the human beings."
Rafel nodded his head and watched the screen for a while and then said "I think that they are planning to do something to the children with all those toys and sweets that is sure. As for what they are planning to do is hard to say."
Rachel thought for a while and then said "Maybe it is just to cause a distraction to attack this place when are defenses are low."
"Fairly possible"
"Rafel, you can leave and I will think about something until then."
He bowed his head and left the room while Rachel touched the screen and everything on it disappeared, she went to sit on the bed and then began to formulate a plan. By now most of the witches knew that something serious was going on that the queen had locked herself up in her room. Everyone came to stand outside her room but at an enough distance that she would not know their presence. They waited anxiously for her to come out and when the door opened, they looked at it with anticipation but when they saw only Rafel come out they were disappointed. As none of them could understand what she said, he roared loudly for the queen to hear "You have to make a quick decision and come out, everyone is waiting outside."
He smiled inside her room and soon after she came out saying "Everyone gather around, we have to strengthen our defense and create an impermeable wall around this place for the evil power."
All the witches nodded and followed her as she said "No matter what happens, the people that I select to protect this place will not leave it even if a child's life is endangered. You stay at guard and call the others for help and to protect them, is that understood."
