Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 36

Rachel was currently with an employee of the administration department so she could show her around the headquarters of the Sullivan Group.

As they walked out of the elevator, the woman received a phone call and turned around to look at Rachel.

"Miss Bennet, Mr.Sullivan asked to see you now," she said, her voice betraying a hint of surprise.

That statement seemed to confuse Rachel quite a bit.

Not because Victor had asked to see her.She knew that he had been on a business trip yesterday and she was certain that he would ask to see her as soon as he got back and heard the news.

She was confused because of the weird expression on the face of the lady standing in front of her.

The CEO’s office could be found on the middle floor, the one with the best view.

Not anyone could visit this floor.

Only a handful of people were authorized, and security was really tight.

One had to possess the necessary key card or use their fingerprints to gain entry.

The lady that had been showing Rachel around was not that high-ranking, though, so she had to wait for Ivan to come down and escort her.

When he finally arrived, he led Rachel into the elevator and pressed the button for the thirty -third floor, where the CEO’s office was.

When they reached the office door, Ivan stopped and moved to the side.He turned to look at her with a subdued look on his face.

"Mr.Sullivan asked to see you alone."

Rachel glanced at the closed door and couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was wrong.She turned to Ivan once again, pursing her lips.

"Ivan…" she started.

"Miss Bennet, please.Mr.Sullivan is waiting for you,"

Ivan interrupted her, showing that he wouldn’t be giving her any answers.

Rachel got the message, loud and clear.She looked at his face a little longer, trying to find some clues as to what awaited her beyond the door.

Ivan, though, remained completely expressionless.

She would get nothing out of him.She gave up trying and took a deep breath.She reached out and opened the door, walking inside before her courage deserted her.

Once inside the office, she felt a strong vibe surrounding her, making it difficult for her to breathe.In the blink of an eye, someone grabbed her arm hard and dragged her towards the French window.

It was Victor.

With a loud thud, Rachel’s back hit the glass and she winced in pain.

"What’s wrong with you, Victor?" Rachel asked angrily and tried to break Victor’s grip on her.

But the more she struggled, the stronger his grip was growing, until the pain made her gasp.

With a sneer, Victor grabbed Rachel’s chin and forced her to look up at him.

His voice was so cold that it sent chills down Rachel’s spine.

"I’ve warned you more than once not to challenge me! If you won’t listen, then you will pay the price." As he talked, he tightened his grip on her chin.

Rachel was in excruciating pain by then, her cheeks crushed under his fingers, making it impossible for her to speak.

"I… I… don’t… understand.What… are… you… talking… about?" she managed to get these few words out, all the while grasping Victor’s hand, trying to make him relax his grip.

"Don’t play dumb.You know exactly what I’m talking about," Victor barked, tightening his grip on her jaw.

Rachel just glared at him, gritting her teeth.She lifted one knee, aiming for Victor’s privates.A cold light flashed in his eyes.He jerked away from Rachel and with another thud, she crashed on the floor.

She instinctively tried to put her arms out to protect herself, but when her elbow hit the floor hard, her face turned deathly white with pain.

Cradling her throbbing arm, Rachel tried to sit up.

She heard Victor shouting at the door, "Ivan!"

The assistant, who had been guarding outside, pushed the door open and walked in immediately.

When he saw Rachel on the floor, he paused imperceptibly.

"Mr.Sullivan…"

"Tie up her hands," Victor ordered, throwing a bundle of rope in front of Rachel.

Rachel’s eyes widened in shock.She looked at Victor in disbelief.
