Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 28

As soon as Shelia sent that message, the person she was in contact with tried to invite her to a video call, but she declined the invitation.

[Q]: Boss, is it really you? Why aren’t you answering my video call? Shelia couldn’t answer it, because she wasn’t in her original body, she was in Rachel’s.

If she accepted the video call, the person would see Rachel’s face, and that was the end of it.

Even if she managed to narrate Shelia’s entire life, nobody would believe she was actually Shelia.

After all, something as fantastical and mysterious as rebirth was unbelievable.

But since she had claimed she was Shelia, she must find a way to prove it.

Her eyes darkened as she invited Q to a voice call.

Fortunately, Rachel’s voice was similar to her own.

It would be difficult to tell the difference if the listeners didn’t listen carefully.

On top of that, although her soul was trapped in Rachel’s body right now, she knew she was still Shelia.

She could still act and talk just like the Shelia Q knew.

Soon, the man answered the call; his voice, trembled with excitement.

"Boss, is that really you?" he stammered.

Rachel took a sip of water from the nightstand and cleared her throat.

"It’s me, Quintin."

The moment Quintin heard her familiar voice, he was sitting in front of his computer, and he jumped up while holding his slim laptop.

His eyes widened in surprise as he looked at thewas indeed his boss’.

"Boss! It’s really you, isn’t it?"

Quintin freed one of his hands to rub his eyes.

He just couldn’t believe what was happening.

"How many more times are you going to ask me that question? Yes, it’s me! It’s Shelia, you dolt."

Rachel shook her head helplessly, and said, "If you don’t believe me, ask me anything."

‘How many people could speak in that tone?’ Quintin thought to himself.

‘Even if she was imitating my boss’ voice, there’s no way their tones could be that similar ‘With that in mind, he blurted out, "Of course, I believe you!"

However, when he remembered the funeral he had attended, Quintin’s excitement died down.

"How long have you known me?" Quintin asked as he sat down while placing his laptop or the desk.

He stared at the screen as if he was desperate to see the person at the other end of the line through the laptop’s monitor.

Shelia had died.

Her funeral was held just a week ago.

It was arranged by her fiance, and her best friend. Only a few people attended the wake, for no one was willing to have any connection with a traitor who had been in prison, in spite of the fact that she was now dead.

After Quintin came home from the funeral, he had been visiting the forum and staring at the ID of "King of Hearts" in his contact list every single day.

The account’s profile picture had been grayed out, and yet Quintin dreamt of a day that it might light up again, and the user of the account would tell him that Shelia had returned.

To some, a week was a short span of time, but it felt like an eternity to Quintin.

The reality that Shelia was never coming back from the dead really did a number on him, but he forced himself to gradually accept that fact.

The reason Quintin logged into the forum tonight was because he wanted to close his account, so that he could start forgetting Shelia, and move on with his life.

However, he never once imagined that he would receive a message from King of Hearts.

And when he saw the familiar opening line of their conversation, Quintin’s mind went blank.

The blood in his body froze for a moment, and his hands trembled while typing on the keyboard.

"I’ve known you for six years, Quintin.Ever since the first day you joined the alliance.I crushed you that same day, and from then on, you became my lackey.I also punished you by making you clean the bathroom for a month."

Rachel grinned after saying that.

Quintin was rendered speechless.

‘Well, you didn’t have to tell me that in detail,’ he thought.

Six years ago, Quintin joined the alliance by rising to the top.

He was a young, energetic, and proud man.

However, he had a haughty attitude that could get on people’s nerves.

Back then, Shelia was the youngest senior leader of the alliance, and she was a year younger than Quintin.

At the welcome ceremony, he pointed at her while she was standing among the senior leaders, and issued a duel with her.

The second Quintin finished talking, the entire place fell silent.
