Marriage Of Convenience And Deceit

Chapter 5

***RACHELLE POV***

“Father. Father what is wrong?”. I asked, seeing my father with a woman. She looked wealthy.

“Don't worry, dear. Go back inside”. My father said, shooing me away. I went behind the door and stood there listening to their conversation.

“You stole from us”. The woman said.

“Please forgive me. But I didn't get my money and I needed it dearly amd when I approached you, you told me nothing promising”. My father said, almost in tears.

“You are a peasant man. You are nothing. We, rich, rule the world and tell you, peasants, when and what to do. You do not question us”. The woman said. “Take care of him”. She said and left.

Men came in dressed in black and started hitting my father. His screams and tears falling on deaf ears.

“Please, spare my life”. He plead. They hit him some more and left.

I pepped through the door and saw my father, bleeding from his nose. He just laid there, not moving but I saw his chest rise and fall.

He is alive.

I wanted to reach to him but I saw him going to the window. What was he doing?.

He opened the window and turned back to look at me.

“Papa?”. I said, tears in my eyes.

“I'm sorry, honey. I failed you”. He said and jumped down.

“Noo, father. Papa, please”. I said, going to the window with tears in my eyes, looking down and seeing my father's head smashed.

He jumped. He jumped because of that woman.

As I recalled this incident, my hatred towards my husband, George and his family, continued to grow. I will bring them down, like they did my father.

I cleaned the tears from my eyes that was from the beating and the memory of my father. That incident turned me to an orphan and at an early age I had to fend for myself.

Thank goodness I was the only child.

I went upstairs to my room. And thought carefully of the next plan. This is not how I want to bring the frost family down, so u picked up my phone to call the media that had that video recorded to pull it the hell down.

“Hello?. This is Mrs. Frost. Mrs. Rachelle Frost. I want the video brought down”. I said, sternly and not leaving any room for argument.

“It's already been taking down. Mr. Fred Byre paid fifty million for it to be taken down later this afternoon”. The man on the other end spoke.

“Okay. Thank you”. I said and ended the call.

I opened my nightstand and brought out various files and looked through them.

The kind and magnanimous Frost family is not so kind after all.

I put the files back and went to wash my face. I

We are going to see his family tonight. Family dinner, as the perfect family that we were.

I got dressed in a black summer dress and got ready for the dinner. I looked at my face in the mirror to see the little bit swollen eye that I got from today's beating.

I used my concealer and foundation to even it out and reduce the swollen look a little.

I went downstairs and saw George sitting there.

“I thought I'd remind you again of the dinner. Let's go”. He said, without sparing me a second glance.

I went with him and we drove silently to his family house.

“Mother”. He said, hugging his mother.

The same woman that caused my father's death. I detested this family with everything I have.

I just couldn't hide the hate for her on my face but then I looked at her with a smile.

“Mrs. Frost”. I said, smiling.

She just looked at me and offered a fake smile. She then carried took her son inside.

Well, I don't like you too.

I rolled my eyes and went up into the house. They were discussing about their son's forty years birthday, and ultimately our fifteen years anniversary.

They talked at length, planning everything and not asking me a single thing. Classic of them.

Soon his brother, Jack, joined the table.

“I saw your wife with the Byre’s man. Doesn't she not know he is out greatest rival?”. His brother said, angrily.

“I knew she was bad luck. Look at her. Peasant”. His mother said.

“You are lucky that it was taken care of. Fred was smarter that you on this part”. His father added.

The dinner was then done and dusted. Eating in peace. After that a picture was taken, while we were all drinking wine and his mother was telling me and everyone else to act happy and joyous.

Soon, we went to our house. “I'm tired”. George said as soon as we reached the house.

We both walked into the house and we went to our separate rooms that was connected to a wardrobe.

Today was really messed up.

I showered and got dressed. When I was about to sleep I got a phone call.

“Ma’am I have it”. The voice sounded.

“Good, keep it with you and give me the photocopy”. I said.

“Yes, ma'am”. He said and ended the call.

The Frost, you all should wait for me, especially you, Lagertha.

With this thought I slept off. Happy and patient to see how things will unfold.

Tomorrow I'll go to the bank with my husband's check book.

Momma needs some money.

I have been doing this once in a month for the past fifteen years. Transferring hundred thousand dollars from his account to mine, under the pretence of my upkeep, looking good for the media, for the past fourteen years.

Planning ahead, so when my plan unfolds and come to life, I will have something to fall back on.

It's at this point I was happy that I opened the account in my maiden name, Gina Velta.

They will pay for what they've done to poor people like me who just wanted to work and earn a living. I'm am coming for you, Frosts.
