Captivation: Want Nothing But You
Chapter 9

Rachel’s face turned ghastly pale.

When she heard what Alice said, she didn’t even look at her.

She was indifferent to Alice’s words and did not seem to hear her provocation.

Seeing that Rachel wasn’t responding, Alice gritted her teeth in anger.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Huh! You’re so pathetic.” Rachel chuckled, trying to endure the pain.

She was sure that she had suffered an internal injury.

Just the act of talking was painful enough to make her feel like her organs were being twisted together.

But she couldn’t afford to show any sign of weakness.

Otherwise,

Alice would revel in torturing her.

Evil was in that woman’s nature.

“What did you say?” Alice’s eyes widened in surprise.

When Rachel sneered at her, she was goaded.

“I said,” Rachel took a deep breath to alleviate the pain in her chest.

“You are living a miserable, ridiculous life.

You’re the most pathetic person I’ve ever met! Being called a bastard must make you feel inferior, doesn’t it? You’ve been trying your best to steal everything I had since we were kids, because I’m the Bennet family’s legitimate daughter, and you’re just a dirty little bastard.

You are always unpresentable!”

“Bitch! Shut the fuck up!” Alice screamed.

It seemed that Rachel had struck a sore spot.

Rachel grinned and continued, “These past two years, I trusted you, and yet you deceived me by taking advantage of my desire to draw Victor’s attention.

You fooled me into doing stupid things in front of him, so that he would loathe me.

At first, he didn’t feel anything for me, and then he began to hate me.

And now, he’s too disgusted to even lay eyes on me.

You must be proud of this accomplishment, aren’t you?”

Alice clenched her fists, looking at Rachel with hatred.

“Well, you should blame yourself for being so stupid!”

“You’re right.

I was stupid,” Rachel admitted.

Right now, she felt ashamed for what she had done in the past two years.

Despite being the daughter of a rich and powerful family, she had lived a pathetic life.

How did she end up this way?

“You have a clear estimation of yourself.” The look on Alice’s face made it seem like she was the winner between them.

“I almost died, and that’s enough to wake me up.

I’m not stupid like you after all.” Rachel wanted to make sure that she didn’t have any broken bones, so she propped herself up using her hands.

However, the pain was far too much for her to bear, so she fell down once more.

Sweat dripped down her forehead as she groaned in pain; her hands, pressing agaivnst the hard floor.

The veins on the back of her hands were bulging because she was exerting every ounce of strength she could muster.

Alice’s face turned grim.

“Your end is near, Rachel.

How dare you talk to me like that?

Remember, you are no longer Victor’s wife, and are therefore no longer part of the Sullivan family! His grandmother is dead now, so there’s no one left to protect you! If you have a brain in that empty head of yours, you should kneel down and beg me to persuade our father to allow you to go home!”

When Alice mentioned Victor’s grandmother, a faraway look appeared on Rachel’s face.

Victor’s grandmother was the one who chose Rachel to be his wife.

Not long after she married into the Sullivan family, the old lady died of illness.

His grandmother used to be Rachel’s protector when she was still alive.

During that time, Rachel lived a dignified life within the Sullivan family’s residence.
