Chapter 213 - The house

Later Robert went out and Jessica returned to the room when Rachel said excitedly "You have to tell me all about your family and show me your house too, I feel like it's a castle."

Jessica smiled at her "There is nothing much about my parents, they died when we I was young and my brother took care of me, this is the house that we got from our parents. My mother was a witch too and my brother had been working hard to build this so called castle."

Rachel's eyes widened "Your brother seems just 2 or 3 years elder than us then how come he earned this much money in such a short time."

Jessica regretted at what she had uttered right now so she quickly changed the subject "Let me give you a tour of my house."

Before Rachel could argue or protest she was pulled out of the room in a huge hall which had a beautiful purple couch placed in one corner and on the other corner was a cabinet with a TV placed in the middle of it and there were books on the side shelves along and the top shelves had pictures of Jessica as a little girl but she was in Robert's arm who was just the same age as he was now.  Rachel looked at the picture very carefully and then looked at her friend confused, she finally spoke "How come Robert is the same age in these pictures holding you as he is now. Jess, please tell me, this is killing me."

Jessica bit her bottom lip as she anxiously thought of an answer but Rachel didn't give her a chance and with a straight face spoke "Forget it maybe I am invading too much in your personal life, let it be just show me your house and I promise not to ask any question."

Jessica pinched her cheek "Oh my drama queen, it is not my brother but my dad. How stupid are you?"

Rachel raised an eyebrow and looked at the picture again but this time thought to herself 'How come the son is the exact replica of father.'

She observed the picture ever more carefully and the more she saw it the more she was sure it was Robert but she had to let that go for now as she had a lot going on in her life already so she just said "Oh, okay then show me the rest of the house."

Jessica nodded and then took her downstairs, it was a complete castle, it almost took them 2 hours to see the whole place. 

After she was done, she realised that it was a very ancient place, the designs and some antiques did not belong to this age and the train of her thoughts went running again, if Robert made this house how could it be this ancient. The more she tried to figure out the mysteries, the more her brain got puzzled so she eventually gave up and decided to take some rest. 

She went up to the room, it was decided that Robert was going to stay besides her all the time except when there was something urgent for him and Jessica could be there. He was going to stay in her room and so she was staying in his until she was here, her protection was the top most priority they had in mind. 

She rushed to Robert's room and lay down on the bed tucking herself in the blanket, she tried to stop her mind from racing and thinking weird things but she was unable to do that. She was finally pulled out of her thoughts when Robert came in and said "Everything will be back to normal from tomorrow so we need to move to your house tonight."

Rachel sat up and nodded, with that Robert and Jessica packed all their necessary stuff and then Robert put everything in his car. Rachel sat next to him in front and Jessica was in the back seat as they safely set off for Rachel's home. 

They reached the airport in an hour and a private plane was already prepared for them, they climbed in and soon the plane took off. The plane was nothing like the normal plane, it looked like the inside of an apartment. Rachel decided to sit on the couch placed in a corner, the other 2 sat next to her that she didn't even realize as she was lost in her thoughts of whatever had happened to her and whatever was about to change in her life. 

Kevin was now not even on her mind and to her surprise she didn't feel sad because of him or angry but she felt disgusted thinking about him. Her mind was preoccupied as she leaned her head on something next to her, it was Robert's arm but she didn't realize that and soon dozed off to sleep. 

Robert smiled and picked her up and took her to a room in the plane where a bed was set. He carefully lay her on the bed and lay carefully next to her, he creased her beautiful cheek and thought to himself 'I wish you were mine.' and as if she had heard his mind she spoke in her sleep 'I wish I had met you earlier.'

He smiled and was about to leave when Rachel turned around hugging his hand as if it were a toy. He didn't move for a long time fear that he might wake her up so he lay next to her again just staring at her beautiful face. 

As they reached the airport home, he didn't wake up Rachel instead picked her up in his arms and carefully carried her home taking care not to wake her up on the way back and then soon she was in he room, sleeping in her bed without even realizing a thing. Kevin stared at her for a while and then went to look around the house to familiarize himself with the surroundings.
