Chapter 269 - Bet

Daniel helplessly shook his head and thought, 'I am not going to let these two men make me stay away from my woman. I am going to Rachel by hook or by crook'

Daniel drove towards Rachel's home but parked his car at a safe place a few meters away from her house. 

From there he carefully walked to her place.

He then headed to the backside of her home and came across the security guards.

After the attack on Rachel in Italy, and finding out Frank's involvement in it, Daniel and Harry recruited the D-Team of their secret organization.

D-Team is one of the best teams they have but they are not the top ones and neither they are the worst, they were perfect to act as Rachel's security.

This D-Team flew down to London and since then they  have been taking care of her.

Now, D-Team was responsible to take care of William and Liz too.

When Daniel met the leader of D-Team at Rachel's house, the leader greeted Daniel as he remembered him as their previous boss.

Even after Paul took over the leader of the organization position, he himself considers Daniel as the main boss so the whole organization looks at Daniel as their main leader.

"Yes boss?" The leader was aware Daniel is here to give him some orders.

"There is some important work I am here for, so I will be climbing that gallery to enter the house." Daniel pointed at Rachel's room balcony.

"No one should find out I was here and no one needs to be notified. After my important work is over, I will again climb down the same balcony and will leave."

The leader of the D-Team got confused and he wondered why Daniel had to climb the balcony. He worked here for enough time to realize how highly Daniel is regarded by the Richardson's. So, he couldn't understand why Daniel is indulging in sneaky ways.

But he knew better not to question him, so he just nodded his head.

Daniel could see this guy had his doubts but he couldn't care any less, he just wanted to be around Rachel, and nothing could stop him.

Daniel climbed Rachel's balcony in two minutes and when he opened the door, he had a huge victorious grin on his face which froze when he saw William and Harry sitting on Rachel's bed facing the balcony door.

Daniel was shocked to see the two men who were smiling at him as if they were expecting him.

Will then extended his hand in front of Harry, "100 Pounds"

Harry helplessly shook his head and handed the 100 Pounds note to his friend and glared at his son, "Because of you I lost the bet. Now give me 100 Pounds."

Daniel was confused at this exchange. He was already annoyed to be greeted by these two old men instead of his woman. Now, this bet confused him even more.

"Bet?"

"I and Harry had a bet. Harry claimed you will come in here and would pretend to check on Liz but I said you would climb Rachel's balcony to meet her. It was a 100 Pounds bet" Will proudly explained what happened between them.

Daniel was not sure what to say or how to respond.

He was not even sure if he should stay or leave and if he had to leave then should he climb down this balcony or should he leave from the door, he  was lost thinking deeply about what to do how to escape from this situation which was unexpected by him.

"So, Daniel, what are you gonna do now?" Will was laughing when he asked him this.

"I am wondering the same. Should I leave through the balcony or the door?"

"Balcony" William made it easier for him to make the decision.

"Okay" Daniel turned to head out when Harry and William stopped him.

"I am kidding, Daniel. I can't be this cruel to you. Come downstairs, have dinner and go"  William stopped him from leaving.

"Really?"

"Hmm, after all you are my savior, I can't be this cruel to you, come downstairs"

William and Harry stepped out of the room and Daniel followed them silently.

"Why did you try to sneak through from my daughter's room?" Will asked him on the way as he intended to tease the guy.

"I was hoping to spend some quality time with my girlfriend" This time Daniel didn't hesitate in sharing the truth as he knew there was no way these two men were going to let him off if he lied. Therefore, he was honest.

"Quality time? Please define quality time" William was surprised that Daniel answered him honestly so he wanted to tease him.

"Having sex" Daniel decided to be all shameless as these two men were no less.

William and Harry got shocked at Daniel's response and stopped walking. They never expected him to be so bold.

"Excuse me?" William turned to look at Daniel and questioned him.

"What happened?"

"Are you claiming you are here to have…" William couldn't say out the words, 'have sex with my daughter?' so he stopped his question midway.

"Have what, Mr. Richardson?" Daniel smirked at him.

"Have…" William still couldn't say it and just then James came there. 

"Daniel, what are you doing here?" He was surprised to see Daniel upstairs.

"I was here to check on Aunt Liz, grandpa. But dad and uncle William wanted to discuss something so we came here" Daniel smoothly lied to James, who just nodded his head.

"You two, don't waste his time. Come Daniel, let's go to Liz's room" James took him away and before leaving Daniel smirked at the two men in victory.

Will and Harry couldn't do anything and helplessly saw Daniel leave from there. They too didn't wish the family to know about their relationship yet as Rachel requested her dad and he could not do anything, even for fun, that would make his daughter upset.

"I told you, my son is smarter than me. You chose to ignore it" Harry taunted his friend who still kept looking in the direction Daniel left.
