21 Returned Wife 5

When Rachel first laid eyes on Zac she couldn't breathe, she was all nervous. But, this strange feeling inside her was emerging.

Maddison's son was adorable.

"Hi, Zac."

One chubby hand clung to her leg for support. With his other hand he proudly mimicked her, pointing to himself. "Zac!"

Then he put a hand to his head and made a face, obviously making the connection between Rachel and the previous day, when he'd fallen.

"That's right—you fell. Did you hurt your head?"

Zac nodded and rubbed his head. Rachel bent down and pretended to feel for a b.u.mp, exclaiming and making a fuss as if she'd found one. Her hands shook with the intensity of her emotions. Zac started to giggle.

Just then an older woman in a dark dress came up behind Zac. She looked Spanish. She bent down and took Zac's hand to lead him away, looking curiously at Rachel.

"Oh! I'm sorry." Rachel started "I'm Maddison…"

"I'm María—Zac's nanny. Excuse me—he needs to have something to eat."

Rachel nodded jerkily and waved goodbye to Zac, who was already speeding off, his interest taken by something else. Rachel felt her heart tighten.

Not long after Rachel walked into the Kitchen, she hands some pills in her hands. She forgot to take them. It was a good thing Isandro hadn't looked her things in the hotel. Maddison was heavily loaded on medication.

She quickly grabbed a gla.s.s of water and-

"You were hungry?"

Rachel's head whipped around. 'Jesus, when did he get their;' before she calmly said. "No, I am taking my victims." She said softly.

"Did you eat at the hotel?" Isandro asked with a frown.

"No" Rachel said truthfully "These are all I need" Rachel said as she took one at a time with her cup of water.

Isandro gaze grew sharper "You have gotten thin enough, at this point your taken your diet t-" he was close to her and took the last remaining pill from her hand and tried to examine it.

"Watch yourself, Isandro, you're not supposed to care about the women who left you." Rachel said s.n.a.t.c.hing it back and drank it down. Maddison hadn't eaten proper food in two years, all of it was IVs and pills. Her diet had completely changed and now she can no longer eat solid foods a well as she used to.

"Relax, Maddison I am only showing concern for my 'wife'"

Little Zac then came running in and hug Isandro's leg and all Rachel did was just stare before she turned her gaze, she couldn't quite meet his look. "You've done an amazing job. He's beautiful."

"Surprised?" came the dry response.

Rachel looked up; her eyes snared by his. She shook her head. "No. I had no doubt that you would be a good father, if you weren't, I wouldn't have left in the first place…" Rachel trailed off.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Isandro frowned.

"Nothing, perhaps I said to much." Rachel walked out quickly when she felt a strong headache come on. "I'm going to the guest room; I think I need a little nap. "She stopped as she was about to leave the kitchen door. "Let me know when you want me to sign the divorce papers"

-Four Weeks later-

Isandro sat in his office lost in his thoughts, it had been a week since they signed the divorce doc.u.ments. And she signed it so easily without even looking to read them. The other odd thing was Other than that first day she had not come in one meter of Zac.

She stayed scarce in her own room, only watching him through the window of the guest room whenever he came outside.

MarĂ­a Zac's nanny would sometime bring Zac to her room to play.

But other than that Maddison would barley leave the room. His servants kept coming to him in worry, as Maddison wouldn't eat anything that was brought to other then soup and then those blasted victims she takes.

The man walked up to her room but before he could Knock.

"I wanted to Die, Reed" Rachel said her voice shaken, but, just as she was about to say more, she paused and looked at her door. 'Isandro...' she thought, he must have just gotten there so he only heard her last sentence. "I'll call you back" Rachel said finally as she hung up and adjusted herself, wiping her face and settling her voice.

Moments later…Isandro knocked on her door.

"Come in" Rachel said softly and Isandro entered her room and closed the door gently. Rachel didn't even look at him just stared out the window and watched Zac run around.
