Chapter 163 Hatred
Chapter 163 Hatred
After Rachel was brought out of the dark room, she got into a military car. She remained silent
throughout the whole ride. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
She tried to suppress the urge deep in the pit of her stomach. It was quite ironic. Even though she was
numb and exhausted, all her body felt was desire.
After an hour's drive, the car stopped in a small city that was famous for its tourist spots, so the
environment here was better. Rachel was checked into a hotel room.
There, inside the bathroom, Rachel submerged herself in icy water, her glassy eyes staring at the water
overflowing from the tub.
The water was cold, but her heart was colder.
After a while, the door was opened by someone, jerking Rachel's senses awake. She tried to control
her breathing and carefully listened to what was going on outside the bathroom.
She heard a knock on the bathroom door.
"... Are you done?"
It was Hiram's voice.
Realizing it was only him, Rachel felt somewhat relaxed. Of course, why had she become so alert? She
was safe with bodyguards surrounding the hotel.
Who would come in except him?
Instead of replying, Rachel continued to lie inside the bathtub with her eyes closed.
After knocking the door for a while and hearing no reply, Hiram became a little worried.
He found a key to the bathroom and opened the door. When he saw her lying in the bathtub with her
eyes closed, he became anxious.
"Rachel! Rachel!"
Rachel turned her head to the other side, trying to avoid looking at him. "I'm fine. Get out of here."
Hiram frowned when his hand touched the icy water. He turned off the tap.
Then he bent down into the water and hugged her!
"Hiram! Stop touching me!"
Rachel yelled, finally opening her eyes.
Ignoring what she had said, Hiram covered her with a bath towel and dragged her out of the bathroom.
"Hiram... Let me go! Now!"
No matter how loud she screamed, Hiram didn't reply. As a last resort, she bit his arm in anger.
However, instead of loosening his grip on her, Hiram only held her tighter and walked steadily to the
luxurious bed.
After laying her down on the soft bed, he looked into her eyes, which were filled with hatred.
"Hiram! Look at me now! I'm a dirty woman. Zachary sold me to a bachelor!" Rachel stared at him with
tears in her eyes.
If it hadn't been for Daniel, she would have definitely been tarnished by another man.
Hiram frowned before firmly saying, "I don't care. As soon as you were taken away, I told myself that I
would spend my whole life making up for it."
"But I care! I care about my purity! I care about my reputation! I also care about whether I'll be
abandoned again!"
Her words rang through the air clearly even though the back of her throat was tightening with sobs.
"I love you so much, Rachel. I had to pay off my debt to my family, that's why I did what I did. If there's
a next time, then even if I have to sacrifice the whole world to save you, I'll definitely do that!" Hiram
said to her quietly, his heart hurting.
He knew he owed his parents for the kindness of bringing him up. He had repaid them when he had
asked the kidnappers to let go of Lydia instead of Rachel. But after this, no matter what happened,
Rachel would be his priority!
"Enough! I've heard too many sweet nothings. I don't want to hear them anymore. Get out, I want to
take rest." Rachel turned her head away, unwilling to look at him any longer. She didn't want to hear
him say that he loved her.
His love was so fragile. It could disappear with just a little turbulence.
"Okay, I'll go. But first, you have to take this pill. It will help you." Hiram took a pill from the table, then
poured her a cup of warm water.
"No! I don't need to take this!"
Rachel pushed him away and buried herself under the quilt.
Hiram leaned forward again and said, "Rachel, if you don't take this pill, then I'll have to help you
release your desire myself. Choose one."
He wouldn't let her endure the pain, as he knew how it felt.
Rachel covered her face with a pillow and hoped he would go away.
Suddenly, she felt his hand touching her waist. Hiram pulled the pillow to one side and said to her
softly, "I know. I know you don't want to see me now. But please take this pill. After you take it, I'll leave
instantly!"
Rachel was annoyed, but she didn't want to see him any longer. She sat up, grabbed the pill from his
hand and swallowed it.
Hiram looked at her with satisfaction and placed a new phone on the night table.
"I got you a new number. Call your mom after having some rest. She's worried about you."
He took one last look at her before leaving the room.
After he left, Rachel sat down and held the cellphone.
Zachary had thrown away her old one at the theater.
Her contact list was already stored in this new cell phone. Without any hesitation, she called her
mother.
"Hello? Mom?"
"Rachel?! Oh! Is that you?!
Thank God! You're safe! I'm so happy to hear from you, dear!"
Fannie cried in relief.
"Mom..." Rachel had tears in her eyes too. "I miss you so much..."
"Forget everything that happened. All that matters now is that you're safe. Remember to come back as
soon as possible after you've recovered! I want to see you!" Fannie said, choking back tears.
"Hiram hasn't slept for two days trying to find you. Thank God you're safe!" she said again.
Rachel took a deep breath and wiped off the tears on her cheeks, trying to calm down. "Mom, are you
okay now?"
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine. Nothing happened to me!" Fannie didn't tell her that she had fainted
after hearing that Rachel was kidnapped. Since her blood pressure was under control now, she didn't
think it was necessary to tell her about it.
"Okay... I'm fine now! I'll come back to see you soon!"
"Okay, dear. Take care of yourself! I'm fine. Don't worry about me, " Fannie said.
After Rachel hung up the phone, she began sobbing, suddenly remembering everything she had been
through.
It was always the closest one who would care for her.
It seemed only her mother would stand by her side.
Outside the door, Hiram stood listening to her cry. His dark eyes were filled with sorrow.
Although he terribly wanted to go in and comfort her, he knew he couldn't. Her desperate cries were
tearing him apart!
