Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 121

Captivation Want Nothing But You Chapter 121 by Adolf Dunne 

Are You Angry Or Jealous 

“Help! Somebody help me! Help!” Alicia was thrashing and keeping herself above water as her face turned pale. At this point, Rachel regained her senses. She was about to reach for Alicia’s hand and pull her out of the water, but before she could move a muscle, someone shoved her away. That same person jumped into the water shortly after doing that. Rachel didn’t even have the time to recognize who that mysterious person was.

The weight of her body caused her to stagger backwards until her back hit a wall. All of a sudden, she heard someone chuckling from behind her. Then, she realized something. ‘Why is there a wall here?’ Rachel quickly moved away from the wall, turned around, and saw a man standing behind her.

He was a whole head taller than her, so she had to raise her head to see his face clearly. The sun was a bit too dazzling, and she had to squint her eyes to look at him. “Carson, is that you?” “It’s been a while since I last saw you. It seems that you’ve grown more beautiful than ever, I see,” Carson remarked casually, raising an eyebrow. 3 Rachel didn’t take his words to heart, for she knew that he loved dishing out banters. ‘Wait, if Carson is here, then who was that person who jumped into the lake?’ she thought to herself.

Something dawned on her. The second she thought of Victor, she heard the sound of someone coming ashore from behind her. Rachel turned around and saw Victor slowly walking towards land while carrying Alicia. His face was as stoic as ever, and it intimidated anyone who saw it.

While Alicia was in his arms, her face was ghastly pale. Her arms were tightly wrapped around his neck, and her eyes were slammed shut. She must’ve been frightened to death, and she was still shivering from the fear. “Mr. Sullivan!” The moment Lukas heard about what happened from one of the servants, he immediately came to see the situation.

Slowly, Alicia opened her eyes; the corners of her eyes were bloodshot. She loosened her arms on his neck, coughed several times, and asked, “Victor?” After casting Rachel a cold glance, Victor said to Lukas, “Call the doctor.” “Right away, sir!” Lukas answered at once. Then, he went back to the villa to call the family doctor.

Meanwhile, Carson was leaning against the wooden pillar and looking at Rachel. Oddly enough, she seemed relatively nonchalant about what happened. Upon noticing his gaze, she looked straight into his eyes. He didn’t seem embarrassed at all when he got caught staring. And instead, he stared deeper into her eyes. “Is there something you’d like to tell me?” Rachel asked. Carson rubbed his chin with his thumb and index finger.

“I’m just wondering about something,” he answered. “Wondering about what?” Rachel asked tentatively. “I’m wondering if you’re really not angry or you’re just pretending to be calm on the surface, when in fact, you’re actually jealous,” Carson said with an impish grin. 1 Rachel was rendered speechless. If something this tragic hadn’t happened, she would’ve rolled her eyes at him. “So, tell me, Miss Bennet. Are you not angry or jealous at all?”

Carson asked again. “Why should I be angry or jealous?” Rachel fired back. Right after she finished talking, Carson took advantage of her unpreparedness and took a step forward, leaning closer towards her. Their faces were so close that if Rachel moved even a centimeter forward, her forehead would touch the tip of his nose.

Carson examined Rachel’s face, hoping to find some sort of clue to her true feelings. However, he couldn’t find any sign that she was lying. ‘So, it’s true. She really isn’t angry or jealous.’ Frankly, he was surprised. He was about to say something, but he heard Alicia’s voice and it made him stop “Victor, I thought… I really thought I was a goner! I thought I’d never see you, my grandpa, and my mom ever again!” Once more, Alicia held onto Victor tightly as tears streamed down her cheeks.
