Chapter 528
Third Person POV
Rachel stared at herself in the mirror; she perfectly covered the hickeys that covered her neck and sprayed the room she booked with a scented spray, hiding the scent of sex that was clearly evident.
She hoped she didn't look too disheveled when she went back downstairs to meet Gavin at the bar.
She finished getting the room situated, slipped her shoes on, and started towards the door, but froze when she heard a commotion in the hallway. Frowning, she turned the handle and pushed the door open, only to see a couple of men dragging a very drunken and drugged-up Gavin towards a large set of doors at the end of the hallway. She was about to say something to them when she saw Judy trailing after them, worrying her bottom lip and tugging at her fingers. Judy hadn't noticed her, but the rage Rachel felt was like no other.noveldrama
What the hell was she even doing here??
She hid away for a moment as Judy and the others took Gavin through the large set of doors. After a minute of waiting, with bated breath, the men emerged without Judy or Gavin in sight.
"I shouldn't be surprised a man like that owns his own suite here," one of them murmured as they passed Rachel. "He looks rich as fuck."
"Pretentious asshole who can't hold his own liquor," the other murmured.
They both laughed as they made their way to the elevator.
Rachel gawked after them and then stared at the large doors.
Was it true that Gavin owned his own suite here?
Rachel's cheeks flushed with anger. Why the fuck was Judy in his personal suite and she wasn't? This wasn't right! It was supposed to be Rachel. Rachel is the one who came back for him... she's the one he loved and was going to marry a long time ago.
What was so special about Judy that gave her the right to his personal suite?
She closed herself back in her room and paced the space, her fists
clenched at her sides. She wasn't edat.

She was here to reclaim what once belonged to her. Giving up Gavin
was a mistake; despite everything, she had loved him in her own way. She wasn't ready to give up on that kind of love just yet.
She would be damned if she was going to let Judy Montague take away what belonged to her. She stormed out of her room and hurried down the hallway, stopping when she reached the large set of doors. She realized it was locked by fingerprint, so there was no way to actually break into the room... There was only one thing she could do.
She mustered up enough of her acting performance to produce a few tears, making her gaze tear-filled and somber as she sniffled.
She frantically knocked on the door, her body forcing a tremble as she waited for someone to answer, preferably Gavin, but she'll take what she can get. From the look on Gavin's face when he was being dragged down the hallway, it didn't look like he was going to be doing a lot of walking in the near future.
After a few moments of waiting, her heart thudding violently against her chest, the door finally unlatched and opened.
Judy was surprised to see her, and there was a mix of hurt in her gaze. Rachel acted as the doting girlfriend to Gavin, and when she saw Gavin

obvious hard-on... she didn't hesitate to shove past Judy and go to him. He made it easy when he murmured her name and rested his head on her shoulder; it made the performance look more real in the eyes of Judy, who was standing at the doorway watching them.
"I've got you," Rachel purred, holding onto Gavin even tighter.
She told Judy she would call the doctor once she left, but that was the furthest thing from her mind. What she wanted was to get Gavin into bed and undressed as soon as possible.
She wasn't a complete monster; she wasn't planning on taking advantage of him fully... but she wanted to make it appear as if something had happened between them, further sealing their growing bond.
Plus, the thought of actually being intimate with Gavin made her stomach recoil. He was the enemy after all.
Once Judy left, a wicked smile spread across Rache's face.
Gavin was breathing heavily from whatever interaction he had with her. His eyes had opened briefly, and when he saw Rachel's face, his brows furrowed, and he whispered her name. He was too far gone to fight the drugs, though, so Rachel used that as her opportunity to put on a little show for Judy to ensure she left.
