Chapter 163 Hatred (1/2)

After Rachel was brought out of the dark room, she got into a military car. She remained silent throughout the whole ride.

She tried to suppress the urge deep in the pit of her stomach. It was quite ironic. Even though she was numb and exhausted, all her body felt was desire.

After an hour's drive, the car stopped in a small city that was famous for its tourist spots, so the environment here was better. Rachel was checked into a hotel room.

There, inside the bathroom, Rachel submerged herself in icy water, her glassy eyes staring at the water overflowing from the tub.

The water was cold, but her heart was colder.

After a while, the door was opened by someone, jerking Rachel's senses awake. She tried to control her breathing and carefully listened to what was going on outside the bathroom.

She heard a knock on the bathroom door.

”... Are you done?”

It was Hiram's voice.

Realizing it was only him, Rachel felt somewhat relaxed. Of course, why had she become so alert? She was safe with bodyguards surrounding the hotel.

Who would come in except him?

Instead of replying, Rachel continued to lie inside the bathtub with her eyes closed.

After knocking the door for a while and hearing no reply, Hiram became a little worried.

He found a key to the bathroom and opened the door. When he saw her lying in the bathtub with her eyes closed, he became anxious.

”Rachel! Rachel!”

Rachel turned her head to the other side, trying to avoid looking at him. ”I'm fine. Get out of here.”

Hiram frowned when his hand touched the icy water. He turned off the tap.

Then he bent down into the water and hugged her!

”Hiram! Stop touching me!”
