After the Secret Wedding Rise of My Queen

Tabel stood at the bedside. Her sharp gaze was narrowing slightly. In her hand, a slender silver needle gleamed. She drove it directly into Rachel's arm without any hesitation.

"Ahhh!" Rachel jolted awake, screaming in pain. She barely risen when Isabel's swift hand delivered a chopping blow to the back of her neck, knocking her unconscious. Isabel hoisted the limp Rachel easily and carried her to Christian's confinement quarters.

Ever since that incident, Christian has been sentenced to stay locked away in this place. He wasn't allowed outside, nor did he receive any proper meals. Instead, they sent in raw vegetables and meats. He was left to fend for himself in the kitchen.

Despite not being as privileged as Xander, Christian was still the eldest son of the Bennetts branch. He was used to a life where every meal was served, and he'd never so much as lifted a finger in the kitchen. So, this punishment was proving especially excruciating for him.

To make things worse, his phone had been confiscated and the television removed. All that remained in the massive villa was basic furniture.

Bang! A chair went flying across the room as Christian kicked it furiously.

"D"mn it! Xander, you just wait!" he spat. "When my father takes over the family, I'll make you pay for this humiliation tenfold! I'll make you wish you were never born!"

Isabel arrived just in time to hear the angry shouting echo from inside the villa.

She raised an eyebrow, surprised to realize the ambition of Christian and his father.

Wait a moment.

An idea flashed through her mind. Could it be that Christian and his father were behind the recent attack on Samuel?

Isabel thought it through carefully, sensing the possibility.

If something had happened to Samuel, it would've thrown Xander off balance, giving those two the opening they needed.

Besides, as far as she knew, Christian's father held a substantial number of shares in the family business, even though he wasn't part of the main lineage.

Still, it was only a hunch. She had no solid proof. She decided she'd take care of Rachel first. Then she'd have someone look into the Christian father-and-son duo in more detail... If her suspicions proved true, she'd make sure Xander found out.

Inside the villa, Christian had just finished choking down some barely cooked food. Muttering curses under his breath, he stormed up the stairs, a dark scowl shadowing his face.

In the room, Rachel had finally regained consciousness. Though her eyes were open, her mind was engulfed in a haze, a fiery heat consuming her from within.
