.. No, you must want something, anything. If you can really help me get revenge on David and Lana, I can't just let you do it for free". Ethan went quiet for a while. I held my breath waiting for what his request might be. "You're right I do want something". He said after thinking for few minutes "What?" I asked slowly. " Until you get your revenge on David, Lana and every other person you want, you will live here". " Wha... What are you saying? ". I stammered hoping he wasn't saying what I thought he was saying. Ethan moved his face closer to mine be was so close, our nose almost touched. " I want you to be with me! " ...

View MoreRachel's POV" Sister? " Marina blinked giving me an incredulous look. "For heaven's sake I didn't even know the guy still existed until you brought him up!" She sighed throwing her hands in the air. I leaned back on the bed pouting my lips. " I think Olivia likes him""What?" Marina asked with a huff standing up from the bed. " I can't believe all the things I've missed". She said in a disbelief tone as she stood up from the bed and pacing. "Marina what are you doing?" I just had to ask after she had gone left and right almost five times. Then she stooped, snapping her fingers at me, her eyes lit up. "Now it all makes sense" I furrowed my eyebrows, staring at her as if she had just lost it. Well, she was acting like someone who was out of it... But in her defense this was too much to take in, in just one day. Marina kept looking at me as if she wanted to say more, but was waiting for me. " Come on, it's your cue to ask what makes sense". She said after a while when she noticed
Rachel's POV" Can't believe that bitch actually spilled her drink on you... Seriously what gives?" Marina complained as she opened the door to our hotel room.She had been saying the same thing over and over again since our drive back from the party, and sincerely I thought the same. Despite her denial, I was very sure Olivia spilled the drink on me on purpose, but why? "Maybe it was really mistake, you can never know". I said walking into the room. Marina stared at me with a dumb look an did chuckled. " It was sarcasm, come on. Even a fool would see that she did it on purpose ". Marina shook her head at me as she removed her shoes before falling flat on the bed." I've had long day ". She groaned making me chuckle even more. "We've had a long day ". I corrected following her footsteps of removing my shoes before falling on her bed. She suddenly sat up earning a raised brow from me. What's up with her? Her face had a huge grin on it, if it got any wider I feared that her lips w
Third person's POV" What do you say? I want words Ann, are you in or not? " Olivia persisted. Hannah nodded the tears that had gathered in her eyes falling sharply. " Fine. I'll help you in anyway I can, but you have to promise me two things". A huge smile adorned Olivia face as she nodded in acceptance. She could promise Ann anything right now, as long as the girl helps her get her brother to notice her. " Anything ". " You'll never speak of what happen that night eve again, and I mean it Livia, you can't use that to threaten me". She began glaring at Olivia. It was her greatest secret, her worst nightmare and she told Olivia on her own, she had never imagine in her wildest dreams that the girl would use the worst day of her life to threaten her. But now that she knew the type of person Olivia was, she couldn't afford to take any chances. "Yes... I would never speak of it again, it's just I'm really desperate right now, that's why. What's the second one?" Olivia asked eagerly
Third person's POVOlivia had a fake smile on her face the entire time she and Rachel were conversing. Why? Well, the answer was simple. Rachel was clutching Ethan's hand lovingly the entire time! Olivia wanted so badly to rip those hands off her man, but she couldn't afford to do anything harsh, not in front of Ethan."Okay, we have to get back to the party now," Rachel said after a while, still holding onto Ethan. Olivia balled her hands into tight fists behind her back. Hannah noticed it before she looked back at Rachel with a smile. "Okay, we'll just enjoy the fresh air for a little bit." Ethan gave his sister a nod before walking hand in hand with Rachel back to the party."What was that!" Olivia yelled, enraged, as soon as Ethan was out of sight. "I should be asking you that question, Livia. What was that? Why were you behaving like that towards Rachel? You're working together, for Christ's sake." Hannah yelled at her best friend. She had noticed the change in Olivia's mood sinc
Third person's POV"Are you sure you're okay?" Mark asked Marina again after Ethan and Rachel left. His voice was filled with concern, causing Marina to smile."I'm fine, really. That bastard's hand didn't even touch me... thanks to you." She answered with a huge smile.Mark released her shoulders and clasped his hands behind his back, looking a bit awkward. "By the way, you haven't told me your name."Marina suddenly remembered. "It's Mark, and I know yours is Marina since your friend introduced you earlier.""Mark... Mark who?" She inquired, trying to remember if she had heard his name or seen him somewhere before. It would be impossible for a person without a profound, powerful, or well-known surname to be at a party like this.Mark hesitated before shaking his head. "Just Mark."Marina frowned. Why was he hiding his last name? Could he be like one of those billionaire's heirs who love keeping their identity a secret? Or could he be hiding from someone? Or was he one of those wanna
Third person's POV"David's anger erupted as he stormed into the hotel room, his face red with rage. "How dare she talk to me like that!" he bellowed, slamming the door behind him.Lana, who had been walking behind him, tried to calm him down. "David, please, you have to calm down," she said, placing a gentle hand on his shoulder.But David shook her off violently, his eyes blazing with fury. "This is all your fault, Lana!" he thundered, his finger jabbing accusingly at her. "If you hadn't convinced me to attend that charity gala, I wouldn't have run into Rachel and those people she hired to deceive me!"Lana shook her head. "How is this my fault? How was I to know that Rachel moved on from you so quickly?" David's anger increased rapidly. How dare she say that! He raised his hands to Lana's neck and began squeezing. "Let me go!" she begged desperately, trying to remove his hands from her neck so she could breathe properly, but her small hands had little effect on his strong hold."Sa
Rachel's POVWhat were they doing together? "Rachel, you're here!" Hannah exclaimed with a smile. She looked happy to see me, but I couldn't say the same for Olivia. She was glaring at me like she had been doing for weeks. What did I do to her?Hannah walked over to Ethan and gave him a hug. I stared at them in shock and anger. "Ethan..." He had a broad smile on his face, matching Hannah's, as he hugged her back."Ahem..." I coughed, distracting them. This better not be what I was thinking. Could Ethan and Hannah be together? No, no, no. I felt my stomach churn at the possibility. But if they were together, Ethan wouldn't display his affection for her in front of me, right? Even if we were in a fake relationship, he wasn't allowed to have a girlfriend, let alone a wife.I forced a smile and hugged Ethan's shoulder lovingly. "Babe? How do you know her?" I asked in my most loving voice.Olivia's glare intensified. If looks could kill, I'd be six feet under by now. I was also surprised
Rachel's POVMy head jerked to the side as I heard the bushes rustling. A man and woman emerged from behind the foliage, their clothes disheveled. The woman's garments were ruffled and slightly torn, while the man struggled to put on his pants as they took in the scene before them."Em..." The woman's eyes met mine, and she gasped in surprise. "Oh... Sorry, we didn't know anyone was here... Er... We'll just leave," the man said, holding the woman's hand and quickly leading her away from us.I recognized the woman as one of Olivia's assistants, who always accompanied her everywhere. After they departed, I turned my attention back to Ethan, finding him staring at me. The moment we shared had vanished, replaced by awkwardness."Ahem... Okay, I believe you" I said, attempting to dispel the uncomfortable atmosphere taking a step back. Ethan took a few steps back, scratching his neck nervously. We both kept silent enjoying the cool night breeze in the garden."The dress looks good on y
Rachel's POVMy eyes widened when I saw what David was about to do. He wanted to hit Marina!! Before I could do anything, the man standing beside Ethan had rushed to the front and held David's hands. "How dare you try to hit a woman?" He said angrily, protecting Marina from David's gaze before shoving his hands down.I felt a surge of gratitude towards the stranger, but it was quickly replaced by my own anger and outrage. How dare David try to hurt Marina like that?! I marched towards him, my heart racing with fury."You disgust me!" I spat, my hand raised before I even realized what I was doing. I slapped him hard across the face, the sound echoing through the room.David's eyes widened in shock, his cheek red and stinging. "You...I'll..." he started, but Ethan cut him off."What would you do?" He asked, coming to stand in front of me, glaring at David. His huge body hid mine completely, shielding me from David's piercing gaze. I looked around for Marina and found her staring at E
