The Billionaire's Tomboy

Chapter 27

Chase

I concentrated on my work. I wanted to finish all the things I had to do as soon as I can so I could accompany my baby.

Rachel would soon be done with the game they were playing.

I had to be done with my work before she arrives.

My family, the Williams had billions in wealth and assets.

Everybody in the Williams family could survive numerous lifetimes on the wealth we have accumulated across the years alone.

Still, each of our generation could not avoid manning the helm of the Steel Cell Group.

There was no way to avoid the work and I wasn't willing to let this whole heritage disappear.

Besides, I was willing to work hard to provide more for Rachel.

I had to make her as comfortable as she can be in this life.

It was my duty.

A small smile tugged at my lips at the thoughts of Rachel.

She was a light that was lighting up the gross darkness I was steeped in.

I was not going to ever let her go.

Getting away from me would just be wishful thinking on her part.

I did not want to bother with her before.

I was willing to let my love for her rot my insides. I was willing to see the love I have for her burn my innards in my bid to keep it secret.

Still, I failed to factor Rachel's choice in my plans.

I failed to consider how she would react.

I did not expect that she would try to seduce me.

It came as a welcomed surprise.

It was why I didn't respond to her hidden seductions promptly. I wanted to see more of what she was willing to do for me.

I loved her before she changed her dressing and approach. I love her now.

I don't think there would be any side of Rachel that I would dislike.

Anything Rachel wore or did was good.

I wanted to see the ways she was willing to utilize just to evoke my feelings.

Aside from that, I was still second-guessing my thoughts.

I did not want to play with her and I did not want her to play with me too.

Once she is with me, she was going to be stuck with me for life.

There was no refunds or take-backs.

Then, that night happened.

The night I had her fully. A night I had her physically and spiritually.

That night disrupted everything.

It gave me a taste of what I was imagining.

It showed me a sample of what I was longing for.

Once I had a taste, I wasn't willing to leave. I was willing to let go of her.

It was like all the self-control I have always prided myself in went up in smoke.

I had to use all my strength to give her space after we spent the night together.

I wanted her to be sure of her choice.

I had to stop myself severally from contacting her.

I did not know when the affection I had for Rachel morphed into something else.

It went from a light feeling her brother's best friend should have to another passionate feeling.

It changed into something else entirely and I didn't know when it did.

I just knew that loving Rachel would be an integral part of my life from that moment forwards.

It was something that would remain with me for the rest of my life.

I had two phones.

One was for work matters and the other is for personal use.

There was a matter I had to check up on.

"Hello Mr Chase." A male voice greeted from the other end of the phone.

"Joel, did you handle the matter I asked you to do?" I asked.

My voice was cold but I could not help it.

After going through hell abroad, my character change was the least that could have happened.

No person that went through what I had experienced would handle it like I did.

Nowadays, I strive to keep people at arms length.

There are many enemies lurking around.

There are numerous people waiting for a chance to strike.

The only person that could soften me considerably is my baby.

Rachel was my light.

Doing those torturous years abroad, thoughts of Rachel was the very thing that kept me sane.

I would have turned into a murderous and paranoid man.

Rachel was the person that kept me going even without her knowledge.

Now, I was a murderous and insane man with a light to caution his actions.

"Yes, I did. I can assure you sir, Miss Julie would regret ever tampering with Miss Rachel." Joeal assured me.

I hummed before hanging up.

I take things that concerns Rachel very serious.

Julie had gone beyond my bottom line.

If I wasn't so busy, I would have handled her myself.

I was already showing her tremendous mercy by letting Joel handle her.

I went back to my work.

I had to wrap everything up as soon as possible so I can spend quality and relaxing time with Rachel.

The hot spring resort made every section similar.

The place I booked privately was similar to the ones I reserved for Rachel and her coworkers.

It was just that my own section was more high-end.

The door opened.

I raised my head instantly.

I did not close the door because Rachel was going to come here soon.

Rachel wasn't the one at the door.

It was an unfamiliar girl.

Her face seemed too perfect.

Her eyes were big and her nose was like a button.

Her bow-shaped lips was painted a glaring red color.

I dropped the work I was doing.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" I asked coldly.

This resort was high-end. Not many people visited.

To get a spot here, you have to have both money and connections.

It wasn't as simple as just using money.

This girl had nothing like the demeanor of those that visited this place.

Besides, I chose a place that was a little remote because I valued privacy.

I don't know how she was able to pinpoint the hall I reserved accurately.

I knew she was looking for me.

She purposely entered my hall.

Normally, if anyone stumbles into another person's space or room, there would be certain emotions involved.

Panic, apology and other emotions would fleet across their eyes.

They would not be as confident as this girl.

There wasn't any apologetic aura around her at all.

Her eyes were even sending me signals.

I was familiar with these kinds of signals.

It was what those women that sought me and my wealth do.

They tried to send signals that would go nowhere.

The girl stopped trying to lure me in with her eyes after seeing that I was unmoved.

She sneered, "It seemed like if it wasn't Rachel, you would remain unmoved. I just had to try my luck to end any entanglements my heart might have."

I detected that something was wrong with her sentence.

She obviously knew me from somewhere.

I focused on her perfect face and then, I found out what was bugging me all this while.

Her face was too perfect.

It felt unreal somehow.

Now, I realized why I was feeling like something was wrong.

Something was wrong indeed.

Her face was obviously fake.

She began laughing maniacally before she raised her hands to her face.

Before my eyes, I saw her remove the overly perfect face she had on.

Her real face was revealed.

I frowned.

It was Julie.

Anger surged through me.

I had asked Joel to handle her case but this was the result.

Joel have gotten too comfortable in his position.

My mind churned with dark thoughts but my face remained passive.

"Julie, what are you doing here?" I repeated.

She continued laughing.

Her revealing clothes showed more skin as she moved erratically.

"Chase, do you know that you are cruel?" She asked in sorrow after her laughter died down, "You made me lose my job and I became a person that had to go to the streets to survive. Do you think I would let things go like that?!"

I kept quiet as I leveled a stern gaze at her.

Since I didn't like bringing security everywhere I go because I knew martial arts, I had to solve this problem myself.

Having one of my subordinates here would have made everything easier.

I remembered that Rachel was feeling apprehensive about Patricia.

I had told Joel to handle her too.

Since there was a problem with Julie, there was a higher percentage that there would be something wrong on Patricia's side too.

What I don't know is if Patricia was here too.

I folded the sleeves of my white shirt. I don't want any of her fluids getting on me.

Julie didn't mind my quietness.

"Just because I tried to set Rachel up with Ted, you opted for the option of destroying my life?! Your ways are so unfair. What does Rachel have that I don't? Or is it because she was servicing you?" Julie retorted.

My face grew colder.

"I dare you to say that again. Trying to get someone to r**e Rachel turned into some kind of gracious act when you talk about it. You are getting what you deserved." I said with intense chill in my voice.

She was already beyond my bottom line.

She was making things worse with her unsightly words that were targeted at Rachel.

Previously, I was even debating whether to call security because I didn't want to put my hands on a woman.

It was a personal preference.

Most of the women that offends me had special female subordinates to deal with them.

Now, I have changed my mind.

I don't mind putting my hands on her.

She deserved it.

"That Rachel you are talking about is better than you would ever be a hundred times over. Even if you go naked right now, I would not still be interested in you." I said, "You are just buzzing around in a futile bid to change your fate."

Julie began laughing like a crazed person again.

"So, when it is Rachel, she is the goddess in your heart. When it is my turn, I am instantly compared to the dirt beneath your shoes?" Julie said as she wiped a tear from her eye.

I walked towards her.

I had enough of entertaining her nonsense.

She was just manic.

I wonder why the hot spring resort let someone like her in.

"You know something, Chase?" She muttered with her head bowed, "Since you basically destroyed my life, I will get my revenge. I would destroy what you hold dear too."

The silver necklace she wore beeped and flashed with a red light.

That necklace felt like a camera but I had a feeling it had other functions.

An uncomfortable feeling tugged at my mind and I increased my pace.

Julie raised her head and her face was revealed.

Twisted glee and mania was showing through her eyes.

What was she happy?

I did not know.

The times I lose control were few and this situation was proving to be one of them.

I held her hand in preparation to keep her in a lock.

I wanted her to lose all ability to cause trouble before escorting her to the reception of the hot spring resort.

Julie pulled the skimpy material that barely covered her body with her free hand.

Soon, she was as bare as the day she was born.

I frowned in disgust.

I got her other hand in a hold.

She spoiled all my expectations. She did not struggle to get away from me.

She even moved closer to me.

"What are you doing? It seems like you fancy being paraded naked." I spat coldly as I held her away from me.

Then, she did the impossible.

She raised one of her legs and hooked it around my waist.

The disgust I felt burned like a fiery and uncontrollable fire.

At this moment, the slightly open door that Julie didn't close properly was pushed.

The door was fully open now and Rachel, my light was standing at the door.

Her intelligent green eyes took in the scene in the hall.

I closed my eyes before releasing Julie.

I hated how it made me look guilty.

I did not care about trying to incapacitate Julie anymore.

Rachel did not say anything, she just turned in her heels and left.

I wished she said something. Her silence was deafening and scary.

Julie saddled up to me like a disgusting worm.

I could not stomach any more nonsense from her.

I chopped at the back of her neck as hard as I could before rushing out.

A thud sounded behind me but I did not look back.

It would be better if she broke her skull and died.

If I finish placating Rachel, her time would be up.

By the time I would be done with Julie, she would wish she was never born.

If making Rachel misunderstand me was Julie's plan, she was succeeding.

More urgency fueled my pace.

I had to find my light.
