The Masked General: Tale Of Vengeance

Chapter 3

Nathan took Rachel back to his house. He was not going to waste time at the Martins Mansion, knowing that they would not be nice to her there. He wanted to make sure that there was no chance for them to make her feel sad. 

Nathan had devised a plan, knowing that no one in Caldor would know who he was they would think of him as another individual who would want to take advantage of the whole situation. 

“They think I came to be wealthy like the other showoffs there? I came for someone important and I have taken her.” Nathan said to himself as he walked out of the Martins house not trying to look back. 

Rachel was confused, she didn't know why Nathan was even trying to take her home like that even when he knew that she was deformed. 

‘It is oddly suspicious that there is something he is not telling everyone. It feels like he was only trying to make it look like he was some kind of big shot that would be able to handle anything that would come.’ Rachel was looking at Nathan as she tried to find out what it was he was thinking. 

Nathan turned back to see Rachel looking at him with a glare that would be enough to kill a man. 

“Is there a problem?” Nathan asked trying to find out what it was that made Rachel look at him like that. 

“I know you think taking me home like this would increase what my family would give you, but then you will be doing a good job.” Rachel mocked Nathan. It was like she wanted to find out what Nathan was planning to do so she could find a way and make sure that he would expose himself to her. 

Nathan was looking at Rachel and he was shocked to see that she thought he had other plans with her. 

“I am not trying to do anything like that, I am only trying to make sure that you are okay.” Nathan was looking at Rachel, he was shocked that she thought he was trying to get the reward only and nothing more. 

‘Well I am not surprised that she thinks that I am trying to use her to get her family’s money but then why in the world is she saying it here?’ 

Nathan was looking at Rachel, he took a deep breath and he knew that there was no way he would be able to walk away with her if he didn't tell her what he had in mind. 

“Rachel, I plan to make things turn around for you and not take advantage of you. I would never think of hurting you, I only want what's best for you.” Nathan was looking at Rachel, he didn't want to make her feel like he was going to take advantage of her. 

“How in the world do you plan to do that? You are not going to be able to stand in front of me when you see what is beneath my dress,” Rachel sounded a bit defeated when she said that. 

Nathan noticed but then he didn't say anything to make her feel hurt, he went close to Rachel. He placed his hand on her shoulder, he kept his eyes on her. 

Rachel looked at Nathan and she was a bit confused about what he was trying to do there. 

“Rachel, I want to make sure that there is no way for anyone to hurt you ever again, I will also make sure that they will stay far away from you. I will make you the happiest woman in the world.” 

Nathan was looking at Rachel with a smile on his face, he knew that she would be confused when she heard what he was trying to say. 

“How?! I am asking you how you plan to do that?! My face and my body are deformed yet you say that you are going to make me the happiest woman on earth, how blind can you be?!” Rachel was looking at Nathan. 

Nathan smiled a bit, he took her by the hand. “I just want you to work with me on this one, I will take care of everything and you will not have a problem,” 

Nathan began walking with Rachel to a room, once they entered the room Rachel could see that it was filled with different things. 

The room was covered in white and blue paint, it had a beautiful spot. It looked like a clinic but then it was a bit strange that Nathan had something in his house. 

“What are we going to do here?” Rachel asked, looking around the room. She was a bit confused. 

Nathan brought out a box, opened it, and inside were medical equipment and things that looked like they came from the other side of Caldor, there were hair-thin needles used in acupuncture. 

“Rachel I need you to trust me,” Nathan stretched out his hand, looking at Rachel trying to see what she would do. 

Rachel was looking at Nathan and she was not sure what he would do to her but then there was something about him that was calling her and it was a bit calming for her. 

‘Why does he feel so calm and welcoming? This is not like anything I have felt around anyone before.’ Rachel was looking at Nathan, he was not sure what it was that would even make it look like he was someone different.

“What are you going to do if you see how bad it is beneath the dress?” Rachel was looking at Nathan, she wanted to know what he was going to say. 

Nathan was looking at Rachel, he was not sure why she was asking him that question but then he knew there was no way he would do anything different. 

“I will still like you regardless. I know you are a good lady. Your family is just one messed-up bunch.” Nathan walked to a table in the room, he arranged it. 

“Now come on, I have a surprise for you.” Nathan smiled as he waited for Rachel to come to him. 

Rachel was looking at Nathan and all she could see was a man who would not change his word easily. 

‘Just who is he?’
