Chapter Four

Çhapter 4.

"Are you blind! can't you watch your steps! "  The cold and sinister echoed the restaurant gaining a little attention 

Caleb's mouth was set in a grim line as he regarded her as though she was nothing but a spec of dirt.

Racheal tried to hide her embarrassment as she staggered to her feet. 

"I'm sorry !  " she breathed out, casting her gaze around, she fixed them on him again.

"Can I talk to you for a minute?" She whispered.

He ignored her and walked past them as though she was invisible. Racheal had never felt more embarrassed. 

This arrogant man was her supposed fiance?

She whirled around only to see Laura Bane kissing his cheeks, a broad smile on both of their faces. 

Racheal frowned at the sight of Laura Bane, who was there with her fiance.

Even though he didn't love her, the least he could have done was giving her some face. 

it wasn't as if she had the choice to refuse to marry him, that was something she was sure only he could do.

Surely if he hated her, he wouldn't go ahead and marry her, right? That was her last thought before she went straight to Laura Bane and stood in her presence pointing at her shouting. 

"You husband snatcher, how could you be so shameless to snatch people's fiance, is that how you go about  ruining people's marriages?"

She tried to shove Laura Bane aside only to be blocked by Caleb

Racheal's listless words struck Laura Bane startled for several seconds and she was so mad that her face went pale and tears started to fall freely from her eyes. 

"what are you saying? I haven't met you before, why are you saying such words to me ?" She spoke softly, gaining the sympathy of some people around, her beautiful angelic face combined with her innocent aura gave people the usual impression that she could do no wrong. 

"You are such a pathetic pretender! " 

Racheal gave her a slap without hesitance.

it was no more than a light tap against the cheek because she really didn't want to physically hurt the other woman from the show she was putting on.

Laura widened her eyes in disbelief... 

Rachael's slap had caught much attention from people around them Laura's face flushed. she wanted to retaliate back but she couldn't afford to make everyone around think she was anything but fragile and gentle. 

She could only manage more tears to make herself look more pitiful.

Rachael started to raise her hands again when Caleb stepped in, gripping her hand in a steel grasp. his face was stony, his eyes hard with fury. 

He shoved her aside with full strength so she crashed against the table ahead, she bit back a cry of pain.

"Escort this  woman out of here !" Caleb thundered, looking at her in utter disdain. 

"I'm warning you, never lay a finger on my girlfriend again, or....!" He left his words hanging.

Almost magically, two bouncers appeared and started to drag her away.

They were all afraid of gaining Mr. Caleb Sterling's wrath. 

The moment Rachael was dragged away, Laura's friends who had been watching the fun all went to her and flattered " Laur Mr. Caleb defended for you, that woman's expression just now was too amazing."

One of her friends voiced out  Mr. Caleb is too handsome I'm so envious of you to have such a handsome boyfriend that's willing to stand for you. But I must say that woman is truly shameless. 

Mr. Sterling slowly retrieved his look and glanced at them. He spoke, " is there something wrong with your brains?."

Those at the scene, especially Laura was surprised and shocked and they had no idea what they said that had offended him.  The triumphant smile on her face vanished.

Her friends only heaved a sigh of relief when sterling left. They then asked, "Laura Isn't Mr. Caleb your boyfriend? why did he talk to us like that?".

Caleb was starting to exit the door, she grabbed her purse and followed him hurriedly, wrapping her arms around his.

"Why are you so mad because of a crazy woman ?"

Caleb shrugged off her grip and gave her a cold look.

"If talk is all you are going to do, then don't bother following me"

Laura kept quiet but fumed inwardly. 

A thought formed in her mind, an ugly one that she didn't like.

who had Caleb really defended? Had it been her ....or... She left her thoughts hanging.

she couldn't afford to think further . because the answer might ruin all of her dreams.
