Your Turn to Chase Me, Reborn For Revenge

Rachel smoothed down her clothes and approached the gate with a wide smile, she didn't know the Davis family so she wasn't sure who the stern woman in front of her was. The woman in front of her was well dressed in a mint green blouse and matching long skirt.

Rachel knew the clothing was expensive so she didn't dare to raise her voice or confront the lady. Even though she had wanted to. She felt being left outside was demeaning and obnoxious of the Davis family.

"My husband is in there and I was speaking with Joseph earlier on the phone."

Bernie thought it was interesting yet not surprising that Rachel had not mentioned April. She realised she didn't even think she was worthy to bring up. Did she not know April was the future lady of the Davis family Bernie thought and approached the gates, "Your husband?"

"Yes, Martin Green." Rachel then pointed to the BMW. "That's his car." She tried a smile with Bernie and hid her dislike of the woman that stood in her way.

"Oh, you mean the lady of the house's father. Yes, he is inside along with the family." Bernie held her stern stare waiting for Rachel to voice her opinion on April. If she even dared to say anything against her Bernie was fit for her.

Rachel clenched her fists, April did not deserve this privilege. She turned to look at her daughter Lucy who was getting out of the car and walking up to her.

She held out her hands to her daughter and smiled as she responded, "This is my beautiful daughter Lucy, and she has met with Dean on numerous occasions and got on very well. As her father is inside I would like to go in and see him."

Bernie sneered in her heart, beautiful what beauty only April was deserving of that word. "Mmm I see, I was only aware that Mr Green had one daughter and that was the lady of the house."

Bernie didn't fail to see Rachel's discomfort every time she said 'lady of the house'. This is a fun game she thought.

"Well step daughter, but we are one big happy family," Rachel replied. "So can we go inside?" Rachel held her daughter's arm and smiled at Bernie.

She had worked out that this lady did not like her already but she could only bite her tongue. When Lucy became Mrs Davis the woman standing in front of her would be immediately punished she thought. This thought allowed her to keep calm at this moment.

Bernie walked to the gates as she said, "I am aware of the Green families issues. For today you may come inside. But let me remind you that this is Davis Manor and only those who are polite to the family are allowed inside."

"Yes yes, of course. We understand, but really leaving us out here is only making the Davis family look bad." Rachel announced.

Bernie pressed the button allowing them access. "Us look bad? You can only let yourselves down by waiting outside and wailing like a banshee. Hurry and come in before I change my mind."

Once she had pressed the gate open button Bernie walked on ahead inside, she thought that Rachel must be seething internally and she was quite happy with this. As she heard the footsteps behind her she said, "Let me remind you that you are guests. Failure to be courteous to the family and the security team we have will throw you both out."

"Throw us out?" Lucy asked.

Rachel hit her daughter to silence her, "But of course. I am sure though as Dean and Lucy have gotten closer he will be happy to see her."

Bernie rolled her eyes and entered the Davis manor she turned abruptly causing the two women to stop. "Please come inside but remember who runs this house." With that said, Bernie then walked into the living room.

Bernie walked in and saw everyone seated waiting, she winked at Dean and walked into the kitchen so she could help April with dinner.

The two ladies who were slightly stunned from the woman and behaviour forgot themselves and where they were for a moment.

"Mother, just who the hell does she think she is?" Lucy shouted.

"She will regret today, I will make sure of that," Rachel confirmed.

Everyone seated in the living room could hear everything. Martin seemed to shrink in his seat he was embarrassed.

Dean looked over to Martin and coughed wanting his future father in law to feel at ease, "Nice to see you again Martin, just make yourself at home here as my grandfather said. After all, April is important to all of us."

Dean was usually quiet except when he was with April but as his father in law was here he had to make an effort.

Martin glanced at Dean and smiled. He was happy his daughter had found such a kind and caring man. He had heard that Dean Davis was unapproachable but the man in front of him was nothing like the rumours.

Hearing Deans deep and cello like voice Lucy walked in from the porch and towards the living room. Her heart pounded in her chest and her pulse sped up. She felt flustered just staring at the man in question.

Dean glanced up and saw her greedy eyes on him, his face was neutral and he looked away ignoring her. He turned to Tom who was a little stiff on the couch, "Anyone April cares about is always welcome here so please feel at ease."

Rachel entered the living room behind her daughter, she took in the scene in front of her. This was her future she thought, she smiled and held her daughter's hand as she approached the couch in front of her, "Good evening everyone. My name is Rachel and this is my daughter Lucy."

She glanced around for a response but there was none.
