《Marriage of Benefits》Chapter 69 Hidden secrets
Advertisement
Rachel was quite happy but there was something inside her heart that made her regret her decisions. She ignored Eve and went to her room to get ready and she was out by the time Change arrived to pick her up, she quickly got into the car. They did a lot of shopping and then they watched a movie before dinner. Charles took her to a fancy five star restaurant for dinner and they ate to their hearts content. Rachel had not been this happy in months and she felt over the moon. She had regretted her behavior everyday, she had cried the most for Jamie's death but she had no one to talk to and now the happier she felt, her guilty consciousness made her heart feel heavy but a smile was stuck on her face.
After the dinner Charles took her to the car and like a gentleman opened the door for her. She smiled and sat inside when Charles said with a wide smile holding the door and moving as close to her as possible "Would you like to come over to my place."
Her heartbeat fastened at the question as she tried to answer hesitantly "Sure"
He held her hand "I promise that you will enjoy the surprise I have planned for you." saying this he closed her door which made her heart leap a few times but she composed her posture not showing her weakness and Charles knew that he had broken her pride and only the last bit of it was left.
He took her home and made her sit on the couch then he brought the bottle of wine and two glasses. He sat next to her and poured the wine passing a glass to her and sipping his wine slowly he waited for her to get drunk. When he thought that she was finally drunk, he pretended to be drunk and started talking "Why do you like me so much since the time I had a wife."

She gave a smile of defeat and then tears rolled down her eyes, she was drunk so she stammered while speaking "Why are you with me when all your friends and even my brother is blaming me for her death."
"I believe that there must be some pain behind your cheerful smile and you must be more miserable about her death than all her close friends."
She begin to cry "You are too nice that I can't lie to you anymore."
Charles pretended to be surprised "Lie"
"I didn't approach you because I loved you but with time I definitely fell in love with you."
"Then what is it that you want."
"I loved Jacob and before he forced Jamie to marry him, he had already slept with me and he used to blackmail me with the pictures he had of me." she paused and took a deep breath and then continued "He asked me to sleep with you so that Jamie could hate you. I hated her the most but now I realize how much she had gone through, it was me who killed her and I wished that I had died with her." she began to cry more heavily.
"You killed her" Charles's looked at her in shock.
"I am sorry I never wanted to do such a thing but Jacob's brother has all my pictures and he wanted to avenge Jamie and take his brother's company back from you so he had been using me." Charles listened to her patiently.
"I will just like to die rather than cheat a pure hearted man like you."
Charles had recorded all her words and he let her go after that dropping him at her house. He happily went straight to Jamie to give her the good news.

Love Of Baybur [Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
The Sultanate won a huge battle against their enemies of different religion, and now left them with only a piece of land surrounded by Sultanate's forces. Baybur, a yerliyya from a backwater place, is hailed as a hero after the war for his past contributions in a strange manner and is, thus, invited to a banquet prepared by the Sultan and attended by many Great Nobles. To Baybur, who had dreams of stepping on a higher stage in Sultanate's politics, and in his Orta's ranks, this is a chance for him to shine and rise. Yet he, and many in the banquet, knows that victory is far from over. And this presents a chance, with greater risk than before, to impress the Sultan and the Pashas of the Sultanate. Sanjak-beys and Aghas of the Janissary Corps all seek to devour their enemies, both in and out of the Sultanate. And Baybur, in the midst of this brewing storm, is no different from a fish dreaming to be a dragon. But a woman he meets at the banquet changes everything; his goals, his dreams, and his fate. After all, love, without expression, is a deadly curse. As a note, Cover is not mine obviosuly, and I write this both for NaNoWriMo and Writathon. To some history lovers and nerds who specialize in it, I know you might be angered quite a deal with some things I've written.(I get the feeling when someone talks wrong foolish things in a study I know, no hate) But this is a historical fiction written by a seventeen-year-old, don't expect much from me to know every single detail. Much of my research is surface level and some things are, well, to fit plot, are changed. So bear that in mind. For schedule/chapter thingt, there will be at most five chapters until I pass the 55.555 words mark. Each chapter will be around or above 10k+ words. It is also not edited, and probably won't be unless I find a great deal of time in my hands after November to see what I lack in where. That's all. Now go read, or leap to another fiction. Enjoy!
