Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Captivation Want Nothing But You Chapter 129 by Adolf Dunne

Rachel waited for the pain, but it never came. She frowned in confusion, but she didn’t dare open her eyes just yet. Was the seat in front of her so well cushioned that she felt nothing? The only thing she felt was a cool weight on her forehead. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to brake so sharply,” the driver hurriedly apologized. He twisted around in his seat to look back at them. “Mr. Sullivan, Miss Bennet, are you two alright?” Rachel reached out and pressed her hand against the back of the chair. Then she slowly opened her eyes. Before her she didn’t see the seat, but a hand.

She was frozen in surprise, and before she could react, the hand was pulled away. “We’re fine,” Victor said from beside her.

Then it all made sense.

The realization of what had happened suddenly hit her. She finally understood. She hadn’t bumped into the chair… But into Victor’s hand. Had he prevented her from hitting her head? Rachel lowered her gaze and half-hooded her eyes with her lashes. It looked like she was staring down at her feet, but in reality she was looking at Victor out the corner of her eyes.

The traffic light turned green and the driver eased the car forward again. Victor had already settled into his usual stance, and was facing forward with his normal cold expression. Rachel took the opportunity to study his sculptured face, defined jaw and tall nose. She couldn’t help but feel that if she were to poke his cheek that her finger would turn to ice. There was absolutely no emotion shown on his face, making it that much more difficult for Rachel to connect with the man who had just saved her.

“Get out the car,” Victor said. “Yes, Mr. Sullivan,” the driver said and obediently began to unfasten his seat belt. He reached for the door handle and tugged it open. Clearly, he thought Victor was talking

both Rachel and the driver were rather shocked. But Rachel quickly calmed herself and kept her expression as neutral as possible. She knew what kind of scum Victor was; she should have expected something like this from him. She didn’t argue or complain though. She remained as obedient and as passive as she’d been the entire day. Without hesitation, she opened the door and got out. But for some reason, this

With this rain coming in, I don’t think it’s safe for her to be out there alone.” The moment the words left his mouth, he instantly regretted it. There was a chance Victor would think he was scolding him. Victor hated Rachel so much that he had driven her out the car and made her

he had. Never before in his life had the driver wanted to slap himself in the face as badly as he did now. Why hadn’t he thought before he had spoken? The car was eerily silent for a little while. Victor frowned and stared out the window at the darkening sky. Finally he said, “Call home. Tell them I’m not coming back tonight.”
