Captivation: Want Nothing But You

The cab circled Southeast Avenue twice before heading straight for the Bennet family’s house. Quintin sat in front of the computer, staring at the red dot that moved in actual time on the screen. When he heard Rachel indicate she was being trailed, he immediately locked the traveling direction of the cab which Rachel was in and came across all of the Surveillance cameras on Southeast Avenue. “Boss, the car in the rear is fast approaching.” Quintin observed the shifting statistics on the screen. Rachel looked through the rearview mirror again and mentally estimated the time.

After fifteen minutes, the individual in the car should have been agitated. Furthermore, she purposefully asked the driver to drive around Southeast Avenue twice without concealing her thoughts. No matter how oblivious the individual was, they should have understood they had been duped. As Rachel approached the Bennet family’s gate, the car behind her abruptly accelerated and came to a complete halt in front of her, blocking her path. The cab driver hadn’t anticipated the car stopping in front of them. He responded by stepping hard on the brakes. Squeak!

The asphalt was left with two long marks due to the hard braking. The driver almost slammed his head on the steering wheel. “You maniac! Are you blind? If you are tired of breathing, please go die alone!”

The driver could only be so profane. When she overheard the driver cursing, Rachel unbuckled her seat belt and told him, “I’m off here.” Following that, she took out her wallet to make payment for the ride. “Thank you,” she said and gave the driver some bucks. The driver cheerfully counted the money. The money summed to five hundred dollars! The driver was in awe.

That was his daily income as a cab driver! While the driver didn’t anticipate having such a good night, he made five hundred dollars in just two trips along Southeast Avenue! His anger that he almost got his car hit dissipated unknowingly due to the excitement. He told her happily, “Miss, your ride was meant to end a short distance ahead. Should I drop you off there?” “No, please. You just said that it’s just ahead. I’ll get there myself.” Rachel rejected his offer and got out of the car. Since she insisted, there was nothing else the driver could do. On top of that, Rachel had made his night.

There was no way he could insist further. “Watch yourself, miss,” he said as he turned around and drove off. Not far away, the driver happened to pass the car that had just braked in front of him. The car came to a complete stop, and the passenger did not exit the vehicle. Because the windows were closed, it was impossible to see what was going on inside the car. The driver tilted his head and stared at the car instinctively.

He grimaced in distaste and said in a murmur, “What a freak!” He then sped away There were fewer automobiles on the road after half-past ten. Furthermore, the Bennet family’s property was among the villa cluster on Riverside Avenue, and there were fewer cars.

remained motionless, her hands in her pockets, staring at the license plate of the black car not far away. Shortly, the front door opened. The driver then got out and approached Rachel. She was a woman, and not a stranger one to her. Quintin discovered who owned the car when he locked Rachel’s position. That was why Rachel decided to play with

Take care on the road.” Rachel, who had no emotion on her face, was preparing to walk away from Susan, her hands in her pockets. Susan was dumbfounded by those words. Her anger even made her look uglier, if not ugly. She snatched Rachel’s arm and clenched her teeth before saying, “Wait.” In response, Rachel bowed her head and fixed her gaze on Susan’s arm. Her eyes looked exceedingly unfriendly that instant. Susan simply felt a chill down her spine as she
