Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Chapter 77: The Agreement

Victor could see Rachel reflected in his computer screen.Slowly, he turned around to look at her.

"What do you want to talk about?" he asked.

"Let me go.Please.I promise I won't bother you again."

Rachel stared right into his eyes as she said this, willing him to see how serious she was.

"You want me to let you go? Listen to yourself.What makes you think I'm going to let you go when you're pregnant with my child?"

Before Rachel could say anything else, Victor grabbed the stack of papers he'd had waiting for her and tossed them at her feet.

"Sign it," he said stubbornly.

Sign it? What exactly was she supposed to sign? Rachel stared at him in shock, then slowly turned her eyes to the papers lying on the ground.

She crouched down and picked them up, carefully neatening them into a pile.

As she patted them into place, she quickly read over what was written there.

Her expression darkened.

It was an agreement.

One that stated she was to remain in the Sue Garden for the duration of her pregnancy.

Once the child was born, Victor would have full custody of the baby.

It also stated that he would grant her a large sum of money, and then she was to leave Apliaria and never return.

She would have nothing to do with her own baby.

The only interaction she'd have with the child was the nine months she'd be pregnant.

Rachel scrunched the documents in her hand.

They made a crunching sound as the papers crinkled and warped in her fist.

She gritted her teeth and fixed him with a cold, sour stare.

"50 million dollars? That's so generous of you, Mr.Sullivan."

Victor shuffled uncomfortably in his seat.

He laced his fingers together and looked up at her.

In a low voice he said, "If that's not enough, name your price.As long as it's within reason, I'll pay you whatever you want."

"Alright then.How about this.This baby is also your child.Which means this child is a potential successor of the Sullivan Group.If you think about it, 50 million dollars isn't nearly enough," Rachel said with a smile.

But it was a cold smile, one that didn't reach her eyes.
