Chapter 3 - Past Memories

Rachel was lying on the bed, she closed her eyes and started thinking of her actions and how her stubborn behavior led her here.

She was born with a silver spoon, in a very rich family. James Richardson & sons Limited , is a private family-owned business, by Rachel's grandfather who is one of the biggest tycoons in London. He had an only son who was the heir to the family business. Her grandfather was a very influential person who had many businesses. Rachel had a beautiful family where her parents and grandparents looked after her like a princess, she was very pampered.

But life was not so favorable to her, when she was 9 years old, her parents and grandmother met with an accident when they were returning from a family gathering and lost their lives.

Rachel had a fever so her grandfather stayed back home to take care of her and that's why they were able to escape death.

James made arrangements to send Rachel for higher studies. He had discussed with Rachel and after long arguments and discussion Rachel decided to go to America, she was academically good so she got admission in one of the best schools there.

James along with Rachel was on the way to America, sitting comfortably in his private plane they discussed what she would there.

One of his most loyal right hand people was accompanying them. As it was the first air trip by Rachel after losing her parents she was very upset and was a bit dull throughout her journey no matter how much Richard tried to cheer her.

When Rachel reached Los Angeles, she was mesmerized by seeing the vast mountains ranges, beautiful beaches, along the pacific ocean. She felt the fresh breeze on her face, she was enjoying the moment after a long time.
