Trapped By Tainted Love

Spasms of rage overwhelmed Alice at this moment. She clenched her fists and her chest heaved up and down. She pulled Rachel up with one hand and raised the other to slap her right cheek.

A stinging slap landed on Rachel’s right cheek.

A sharp pain went from her cheek to her brain. Her jaw clenched just as she felt blood oozing from the corner of her mouth.

This first slap wasn’t enough to quell Alice’s anger. She was about to give Rachel another slap, but she was stopped.

An inexplicable energy filled Rachel and burst through her slender arms as she pushed Alice away. The latter staggered backward.

Gritting her teeth, Alice ordered the maids standing some meters away, “You two, hold her down!”

The maids didn’t dare to go against her. They quickly grabbed Rachel’s arms tightly.

Now that her half-sister was subdued, a malicious and insidious glint flickered in Alice’s eyes. She pinched Rachel’s chin and forced her to raise her head.

There were palm prints on her right cheek. It was red and swollen.

Without an iota of pity, Alice raised her hand and said fiercely, “Bitch, don’t you have a lot of things to say? Speak now!”

Rachel grinned sinisterly and then spat a mouthful of blood on her oppressor.

Alice screamed and stepped back in anger. She looked at her stained dress. “I just bought this dress! Rachel, I’ll kill you!”

“Ha-ha! Even Victor didn’t have the audacity to kill me here. Well, if you have the guts, you can have a try. I’m right here!” Rachel painstakingly looked at Alice with her eyes as cold as ice. She was frightening and intimidating.

“I might not kill you today. But just remember that as long as I am alive, I’ll get even with you for what you have done today. You can’t escape my wrath even if you run to the ends of the earth!”

Alice shuddered a little when she saw Rachel’s frightening gaze. Shortly after, she regained her composure. She gritted her teeth and ordered the maids, “Did you hear what Mr. Sullivan just said?”

“Yes, miss. He ordered us to take off her clothes and drive her out,” one of them uneasily repeated with her eyes lowered.

Alice rubbed her sore wrist, smiled with satisfaction, and left in high heels.

Rachel lowered her head and closed her eyes. Her strength had failed her and she couldn’t struggle with the maids. She just allowed them to take her clothes off.
