YOUR LIFE IS MORE IMPORTANT
Rhea bite her lips as she think about what has just being offer to her, she has finally manage to escape from Raymond and now she is ask to go back to the hell.
With the fury Raymond is feeling now, he will have her head pull out of her neck if he is to lay eyes on her again.
However without Brandon helping her to escape, she might not even be able to step out of the city before Raymond would find her and end her.
Either ways, she is highly likely to die a painful and pathetic death.
All these years, despite her resentment, she has never thought of getting revenge on him. Maybe because she is too even afraid to think about it and because she could not dare to go against someone like him.
Brandon talk with few executives in Italy about the new company that will be opening in five weeks time and cut the call with a heavy sigh.
“About the maid, I think we are closing up on her” Anderson inform
“I don’t want you close up, I want her found” he resort and Anderson nod politely.
He pause for a moment and raise his head up to ask him about the progress on the woman in his room.
He could have just left it to him and he would have easily make her agree to work for them but he has refuse to let him even come close to the room.
‘Has she agree to work for you?” he asked looking towards the stairs
“No she has yet decide if she is going to help or not” he respond emphasizing a little on the word help
“What if she refuses to help?” Anderson ask more careful.
“Then I would need you to help her find a good place to settle down” Brandon respond with a bit of hoarse tone getting annoy by his relentless questions.
“I will do it” Rhea inform him when he come to the room again.
She is feeling quite better after spending six hours thinking about what he has say to her and finally come to a compromise.
She does not deserve being treat in such horrible ways that Raymond has done with her, whether she is an abandoned orphan or not, she also deserve something good.
And for all that Raymond has done to her, he should totally get them back in tenfold. she want to get even with him and make him sweat in his own blood.
“What do I have to do?” She ask as he sit on the usual seat and turn to him.
“I need you to spy on everything he does, what he eats, where he goes and who he meet”
Rhea’s heart flop at the tasks request of her, she can barely even be in the same space as him, how can she possibly do all that?
“That might be difficult, he really hate me”
“I will tell you what to do, all you have to do is follow my instructions”
Rhea nod her head lightly looking away for a short moment, she is not yet sure if she should trust him that well to really do as he says.
“You don’t have to trust me now, but you will as we work together” he inform her.
The two become silent and Rhea try to gather her thoughts together, if he is really a good person then she can try to trust him but what will happen if he turn out to be as bad as Raymond or even worst.
She has not known many men but the two she do know, which include her father and husband, they are both horrible people.
“Why do you want to ruin…my husband?” she stammer finding it really weird and frightening to call Raymond that.
Except from that time on the altar when she take the wedding vow, she isn’t sure she has ever call him by his name or refer to him as her husband, he is more of a tormentor.
“He ruined me first” Brandon simply reply and get up from the chair.
He did not look back till he get out of the room and the overwhelming feeling of guilt take over his countenance but he quickly brush it off and continue to walk downstairs.
After resting for few more days, Rhea finally get out of bed, changing into a hankerchief skirt and a sleeveless top out of the clothes place in the wardrobe for her.
She pick a low block heels and tie her hand in a high knot bun having feeling uncomfortable with having much hair down on her body for the past days.
For the first time since she regain consciousness, she walk down the downstairs and her pure blue eyes search down as she walk for a sight of him and she see him waiting at the end of the stairs.
Rhea’s face light up and she try to hurry to get to him, when she finally did, she seize the smile and clear her throat standing like a student waiting for instruction in front of her teacher.
Brandon take few minutes to process her new look and try not to look awe-strike as she walk down the stairs.
She look a lot better than when he hold her bloody body in his hands right before Raymond’s men get to her and whimper at the thought that she might be dead.
He graze his eye a little before putting his hands calmly in his pockets and try not to mind how close she is.
Anderson come over and hand her a cell phone which she take and examine for second, he move back almost immediately staying at least six feet away.
“Use that to contact me” Rhea nod.
“I will send one of my assistant to contact you later, he will be helping him out of sight and keep you safe”
“You need to be careful when you provoke him, he might completely lost the only sense holding him back” he add.
“I will be cautious” she assure him.
“And when he resort to violence, try your best to get as far away from him as possible, do not take it” he said in a more serious tone.
Rhea almost laugh at the face he make as he say those words but suppress it in, it really feel like a student getting instruction from her mentor.
“I have endured it for five years, a few more times won’t be so hard to endure” she state with a weak smile as a grip of the fearful pain slightly brush through her memory.
“I do not want you enduring pain, Your life is more important than anything else” he snap upset at her thinking.
Rhea is stir up at his sudden outburst and feel dumb at the way he is staring at her right at the moment. She nod her head afraid to say something to rile him up again.
He also relax back seeing that he has lose his temper with her and would hate to have her scare of him too. She already has a lot of mental troubles with the cruelty she has been served with all these years.
He walk her out of the door where a car and a driver await her with an open door, she walk to the car and get in, as the door is about to close, she push it back and stretch her neck out a bit to ask him something
“How do I contact you?” she ask Brandon who is standing foots away.
“I saved my number on the phone” he breath out and a smile appear on her face as she slid her neck back into the car.
Brandon watch the car drive out of the compound with a worry heart and clench fists.
“Are you sure you want to send her back into his hands?” Anderson ask seeing the pale look on his face as the car disappear from the house.
“No” he mutters
“I need you to always protect her secretly without her finding out”
Anderson look at him confuse, he has already assign one of their men to watch over her and keep protect her if she ever falls into danger. Besides, he is his personal assistant.
“Also tell Light to report to me daily on her” he add and walk back inside leaving Anderson wondering why he want two of his best men watch over her.
However to him, doing this much is his way of saying sorry for dragging her into his messy life and causing her ruin too.
