THE HIDDEN LOVE - CHAPTER 25&26
James didn’t listen to his brother, he walked away and went into his room. He picked up his phone and made a phone call with his assistant, Daniel.
” hello, have you done what I told you to do?” he asked
” yes I have boss, I used the name Michael to add you in, but there is a problem boss” Daniel said
“OK, what is it?” he asked
” I just figured out that the tournament is not a child’s play, there are so many mafian groups there, boss there is still a chance to resign, I don’t know why you need to do this” Daniel hastily explained
“just mind your business, I have my plans” James said
” you know you could actually trust…” beep beep beep. James disconnected the call.
” always lecturing about trust” he said to no one’s hearing..
Mehrabel has been living comfortably in the nice house that she forgot that she even had a family, James family treated her like one of them, James sister was so sweet and approachable. His mother was the best although his father oozes the aura of an aristocrate, he was very much wise but not easily approachable.
Living with them has slowly transformed her into an aristocratic being, she stays with cecilia, James only sister and her best friend Rachel, she had learnt alot of things from them and also had been doing well with her tutor, designer lucas, he has taught her alot and she grabs it easily which impresses him alot.. She felt like this is what a real family should be like not a one with jealousy and hatred….
She was to go out today with cecilia and Rachel for horse back riding, she was so excited, this aristocratic people really do have a lot of hobbies, her father was rich but she had never experienced all of this..
Rachel came out of James study with a frown, although Rachel always smile around her, she always feel like the smile was fake and she could feel this bond or perhaps closeness that Rachel and James shared but she just brushed off the feeling.
Rachel got closer and gave her a smile which she returned, she got into the car with the both of them and they zoomed off.
Meanwhile, James signed his signature in the tournament approval form and returned it to Daniel to pass, he sat down and started thinking of ways to grow his company ” let me done with this mission first” he said.
Mehrabel came down from the car as well the duos the got into the arena for horse back riding.
A cold glint flashed across Rachel’s eyes, Mehrabel felt a murderous instinct but when she turned she met Rachel’s sweet and charming eyes and she was smiling, she smiled again and looked away
Cecilia went to arrange three horses for all of them, she told Rachel to watch over mehrabel. Rachael concorded and stayed with mehrabel she shared her experience with mehrabel which mehrabel found interesting.
“Excuse me pls, let me use the restroom, don’t get lost poo” she joked and went off
Mehrabel didn’t have any problem with that and just sat down looking around.
Meanwhile rachael was negotiating with the stable man on a business. The stable man didn’t comply but with enough persuasion from her, he did. She handed a porch to him and smiled, she led him out and pointed at mehrabel’s direction, the stable man nodded and went off, she also went off to stay with her ” friend” mehrabel.
Cecilia arrived with three horses, they horses seemed to obey and like her and that surprised mehrabel, she found one of the horses beautiful and agile, it was a black one with a very dignified appearance, she didn’t know why but she just remembered James while looking at the horses, she subconsciously smiled and held the horse by the rope.
Happiness flashed through Rachel’s lips as she saw that mehrabel picked a black horse, < spraying some insects wouldn’t be noticed > she thought and smiled as she looked at the stable man who nodded and approached mehrabel and Cecilia volunteering to help them with there horses, Cecilia approved of him and he went straight to mehrabel’s horse
” hello lady, am John, what about you?” John asked
” am mehrabel, thanks for asking” mehrabel replied still staring at the horse.
John realised that mehrabel was being genuine and was not pretending, how could a rich lady say thank you for asking her name, some would even snub you at most and embarrass you< then why did the lady say I should do this to this innocent girl >he thought.
He knew that if he sprayed the dangerous insects, the could cause irritation on her skin and make her feel uncomfortable, and if he made the knots on the horse loose, she could fall off and everyone who came here to watch would laugh at her, at this point he was determined not to hurt mehrabel. Let the wicked pay the price.
He tightened the horse knot for mehrabel and for Cecilia as well and then poured the insects on Rachel’s own while loosen the knots < now, it will be back to sender to you, you want embarrass person. You taste how embarrassment dey sweet > he thought and looked at Rachel’s direction, he nodded signifying he has done what he wanted her to do.
Rachael was smiling thinking that mehrabel would be embarrassed today and she would be the talk of aristocratic ladies, everyone would mock her and make jest of her. And she would be praised by everyone for her wonderful horse riding ski||s.
She had discovered that the man she had loved for so long had fallen for another woman, no one was worthy of James apart from her, she was the only one who was worthy of standing by his side not mehrabel.
What did he even see in her, is it the beauty and her worthless painting ski||. She was also beautiful and could paint… She found mehrabel to be a wretched girl who was picked up by the road side and was brought back by James. She had no problem if James just brought her back to show his kindness and magnanimity. But she could not tolerate her childhood sweetheart to have another woman in his heart apart form her….
