Chapter 275 Delusional

275 Delusional When Rachael glared at him, Riftan scoffed, "Don't look at me like that. I didn't say anything wrong. And trust me, your husband will agree with me."

There was no way Andrew would let Robert Greg off after what he had done. Riftan was pretty sure that after today, no one would even remember Robert's existence.

Though the Volkov's did not show it, they could be ruthless when the time and situation demanded it.

"Andrew—"

"Wait for me, I will come and pick you up soon," Andrew interrupted her.

"Okay," Rachael reluctantly agreed. She knew he was trying to change the subject for a reason. "Be careful, okay?"

"Don't worry, I'll be there in no time," Andrew assured him. "Give the phone to Riftan."

"What is it?" Riftan took the phone from Rachael's hand.

"I don't know how my wife ended up in your house but that is a conversation I'll save until I meet you." Though Andrew was relieved after talking to Rachael, he was still not okay with the fact that Riftan had taken her away and that she was in his house.

"Keep her safe until I come there to take her," he instructed him. "Don't let her go with anyone apart from me, did you understand?" He did not want to take any chance with her safety.

"Well, what if Owen or your uncle Daniel comes to take her? Should I send them away or hand her over to them?" Riftan smirked. "Oh don't tell me now you don't even trust your own blood, Andrew. Honestly that's kind of sad."

When Andrew did not throw any snarky remarks at him, Riftan raised his brows, "Wow, you are really not going to say anything? Are you scared that I will hurt your wife if you say anything that will piss me off?"

"I swear Genovesse if you even try to hurt her in any way, I'll—"

"Don't worry," he interrupted him. "If I wanted to hurt her, I would demand the South-East Port from you in exchange for her life." Riftan had no doubt that if he made such demands, Andrew would fulfil it in a breath.

"You know my one rule Volkov, I don't hurt innocent women no matter how beneficial it is," he stated. "And don't worry about Rachael—" Riftan looked at her. "Janet is here to take care of her."

After hanging up the call, Riftan sighed, "Well, now you have one less thing to worry about." When Rachael leaned against the headboard and sighed, he added, "The doctor said you will feel a little lightheaded because of the sedative. But it should go away after you eat something."

"I am okay." She closed her eyes and sighed again.

Keeping quiet for a while, Riftan said, "I know you are thinking about your husband getting into trouble when he goes to deal with the guy who kidnapped you."

Helplessly shaking his head, he chuckled, "Trust me, he is going to be fine. I don't know what will happen there but Andrew or anyone from the Volkov family getting into trouble is not even the last thing that might happen. In fact, it's Robert Greg you should be worried about."

Just then someone knocked at the door.

"Riftan—" Kazi glanced at Rachael then back at Riftan. "A word."

Riftan got up. "If you need me, I'll be in my study. You can just ask Janet to call me, okay?"

When Rachael nodded, he walked out of the room with Kazi. nOve-lB)1n

[Outside]

"So what now?" Kazi questioned as he watched Riftan close the door after him.

"What now?" He questioned him back.

"You know what I am talking about," Kazi sighed. "What are we going to be about Robert?" The alliance they had with the Greg's was already over, which meant all the joint ventures they had also had to be dismissed.

"Don't worry about that, I am pretty sure that Greg's won't be a problem after tonight. In fact—" Riftan glanced at his watch. "I think the plan to get rid of them has already started."

"What?" Kazi frowned. He didn't understand what Riftan was talking about.

"I told Andrew that it was Robert who took Rachael," He smirked. "I don't think Robert will be able to see the morning sun."

Kazi thought for a while before realising what Riftan had done. "Damn, Rif. That is actually very smart."

Riftan shrugged his shoulders. "Well, a man has to always make the best of the worst situation." With Robert out of the picture, they didn't have to worry about the joint ventures as everything would fall under Riftan's hand.

"Well, at least we have one less thing to worry about," Kazi sighed. "So now coming to the other problem sitting inside the room."

He raised his brows. "What are you going to do about her?"

"What do you mean? Andrew will come to take her as soon as he is done dealing with Robert," Riftan casually answered knowing that wasn't what Kazi was referring to.

Keeping quiet for a while, Kazi remarked, "You like her."

"What? Where did that come from?" When Kazi raised his brows at him, Riftan shrugged, "I really don't like her. I mean, do I find her attractive? Yes. Is she beautiful? Yes. Would I have tried on her if she wasn't married to Andrew Volkov? Definitely."

Kazi sighed and helplessly shook his head. "You are so smitten."

"You are crazy," Riftan scoffed.

"Riftan, you just broke god knows how many decades long relationship over a woman who isn't even related to you in any way," he frowned. "You were ready to kill Robert and I am sure if not for Rachael in your arms, you would have done it without any hesitation."

Kazi was right. Riftan was all ready to kill Robert for trying to harm Rachael. Only he knew how hard he tried to control his emotions. But there was no way he would agree with whatever Kazi had said.

"You are being delusional."
