Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Ivan arrived at the Sue Garden at ten o'clock and found Rachel waiting for him in the living room.He handed her the agreement and a pen.

"Miss Bennet, this is a new draft.Read it thoroughly and if everything works for you, you can go ahead and sign it."

Rachel didn't bother reading any of it.She clicked the pen and signed her name on the last page before handing the document back to Ivan.

This reminded him of the day her divorce to Victor became official.

He had been the one to bring the divorce papers to her then and he clearly remembered her signing her name without even reading a line.

Back then, if anyone had told him that in less than two months Rachel would not only be pregnant with Victor's child, but also living in the Sue Garden again, he would have laughed his head off.What a surprising turn of events! 

"The legal department has withdrawn the lawsuit against Andy.He should be released this afternoon," he said in a businesslike tone as he returned the agreement to his briefcase.

"Where is Abby?" Rachel asked, frowning at Ivan.

"Abby? Do you mean your maid?"

"Yes," Rachel replied curtly.

"Where is she?"

"Don't worry, Miss Bennet.She is safe and treated well.But we can't release her just yet," Ivan said.

Rachel eyes were shooting daggers at him.

"And why is that?"

"Mr.Sullivan doesn't trust you, given your history in breaking promises.Just to be sure, he will wait until the baby is born to release the girl, but only when he is sure you are out of the city."

Rachel clenched her fists.She was furious, yet not at all surprised by Victor's actions.She took a deep breath and regained her composure, relaxing her hands.

Ivan was certain that Rachel would explode when she heard what Victor had in store for her maid, so he was taken aback seeing her so calm.He checked his watch and said, "You will have to excuse me now if there's nothing else…"

He looked at her inquiringly but when she didn't respond, he turned to leave.He was almost at the door when Rachel stopped him in his tracks.

"Ivan, wait."

"Yes, Miss Bennet? Is there something else you need?"
