Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 120

Captivation Want Nothing But You Chapter 120 by Adolf Dunne

 Alicia Fell Into The Water

“Miss Bennet?” Lukas called out to Rachel in confusion, seeing she had yet to respond after a long time. Rachel’s eyes narrowed for a moment. Then, the corners of her lips curled up into a faint smile. “Nothing. I was just asking,” she casually said, after which she yawned. It had been a long day, and she was exhausted. After saying goodbye to Lukas, she headed upstairs to her bedroom. Rachel fell asleep the instant her body hit the bed.

However, the welcome serenity didn’t last for long, she was soon jolted awake by a loud knock on her bedroom door. “Miss Schultz is here to see you,” Lukas said from the other side of the door. Rachel stared blankly at the door, trying to get her head together. After thinking for a while, she recalled who Miss Schultz was and frowned. Although she was still sleepy, she got out of bed and waddled to the door.

“Lukas, did you say Alicia Schultz is here to see me?” She asked the moment she opened the door. Lukas nodded politely and replied, “Yes, Miss Bennet. That’s what she said.” Lukas also found the sudden visit strange. He knew Alicia quite well, as he had been working there for a long time. Back when the old Mrs. Sullivan was still alive, she appreciated Alicia. If Rachel hadn’t been in the picture, she might have married Victor.

It was the first time Alicia had been to the Sue Garden after Victor got married. ‘Why did she come here so all of a sudden? Why would she ask to see Miss Bennet?’ Lukas pondered silently. He considered the matter a serious one, though, and was thinking of calling Victor right away to fill him in on what was happening. Rachel was pregnant, after all, and he couldn’t be completely certain that nothing untoward would happen.

“Is she in the living room now?” Rachel asked, raising her eyebrows. Her voice was a little slow and inadvertently languid, perhaps because she had just woken up. “No,” Lukas quickly said, pushing aside his thoughts. “She is in the garden now.” Rachel nodded and walked away. When she walked into the garden, she saw Alicia sitting on a chair at the corridor.

Atop the garden was a grape rack covered in lush, intertwining vines. The healthy vines cut through the sunlight permeating the garden, forming thin light spots on the ground. As a cool breeze blew through the surrounding, the surface of a small artificial lake nearly rippled. Many would consider this beautiful garden a paradise.

When Alicia heard approaching footsteps, she looked straight at the archway. She stood up, folded her arms across her chest, and arrogantly looked at Rachel, who had just walked in. Rachel didn’t care, though. She just sat down on a garden chair nearby and stared silently, waiting for Alicia to speak.

As far as she was concerned, she had said all she needed to say to Alicia at the restaurant a week ago. However, judging by Alicia’s sudden visit and haughty attitude, it seemed she hadn’t heeded her warning, after all. “I heard you had a car accident that day,” Alicia said in a contemptuous tone. “I see you’re perfectly fine, though. I couldn’t help wondering, Rachel, if you plan to frame me for this. Don’t even think about it!” she sneered.

The confidence with which Alicia had uttered the accusation left Rachel speechless. She couldn’t help but wonder how Alicia had jumped to that conclusion. Then, Rachel remembered that Victor said she had stood in the middle of the road on purpose. They were quite identical. In fact, she could even say they were well-matched.

In their eyes, Rachel was a vicious woman who would risk anything—even things as important as her life and her baby’s life—to win sympathy To them, she was too cheap. Then… A thought suddenly crossed Rachel’s mind, and she narrowed her beautiful eyes at Alicia. “I just know you were up to no good, but unfortunately for you, your plan failed; Victor wouldn’t believe you,” Alicia said, snorting haughtily. It was as though she hadn’t noticed the coldness in Rachel’s eyes. “Who told you I was in a car accident?” Rachel asked, her voice suddenly turning cold as she stared down Alicia with hostility.
