Chapter 14:

Shock etched deeply across Rachel’s face, her eyes wide with surprise. She glanced toward Samira.

Sweeping her hair aside with a smile, Samira said, “Judging by your reaction, I must have guessed right.”

“How could you possibly know?” Rachel inquired.

Samira explained, “Earlier, when I attempted to approach Mr. White upstairs, Tracy consistently blocked me. She looked at you like you were a threat. Furthermore, the pain on your face was unmistakable when he chose to protect her over you, and just moments ago, you tried to mask your heartache.”

At this, Rachel stopped hiding her emotions. She gave a hesitant nod. “Our wedding date is set, yes, but its certainty now hangs by a thread. Samira, let’s keep this between us.”

Samira nodded. “Your secret’s safe with me. I won’t breathe a word without your go-ahead.”

“Let’s head to the hospital now.”

“Okay.”

Luckily, the injury Samira sustained was minor—just a scratch. Nevertheless, Rachel insisted she take a couple of days off to recover at home. As they were about to go their separate ways, Samira turned back.

“I hope you’ll excuse my earlier intrusion. It wasn’t my intention to delve into your private matters. You just remind me so much of my older sister.”

With a curious gaze, Rachel looked back at her. Bathed in sunlight, her expression was serene yet striking.

“Much like you, my sister was also engaged to her long-time partner. They had been together for eight years and had their wedding planned. She was five months into her pregnancy by then, her belly just beginning to show. However, her fiancé was unfaithful. The revelation was too much for my sister; she leapt from the eighteenth floor. Her life ended then.”
