Marina's POV

"Ahem... Ahem". I coughed some of the wine which I had just taken into my mouth.

A part of me knew that was what he was going to say, but why was I so surprised by it? And why was he so brazen?

"Are you alright?" Mark stood up and came to my side of the table, crouching down in front of me and staring at me worriedly.

This is not fair, how was I to focus on helping Rachel now? I groaned in my head as I got drawn into his beautiful but concerned-looking eyes.

"I'm... I'm fine". I said looking away, a slight blush already creeping up my cheeks.

"Is it because of what I said?" Mark asked again, and I refused to look at him.

"Why did you have to be so forward like that?" I mumbled, but could bet that he heard it.

He leaned closer to me, nudging me to look at him but I refused.

It was temptation, and I knew it.

The moment I would glance at him, I would forget everything and confess my feelings for him like he had just done for me, and I wanted to do t

    Rachel's POV "But why do you care so much about what Rachel fucking thinks of you?" "Mark don't know why you would ask that..." I said nervously, looking down at the table. "The food is getting cold, that's if it's not already. Why don't we just eat?" I said instead picking up the spoon and fork from the table. I was avoiding Mark's question, and from the look, he was giving me now, though I couldn't see it, I could feel it; it was obvious. "Your best friend is also supposed to understand your feelings as well; you're not the only one that ought to consider hers, and I'm very sure you know that; that's how friendship works." He continued talking even though he could clearly see that I was trying to eat. Well, trying was the best word because I couldn't get anything on my fork, because of my trembling hands. "If she doesn't care about you, how are you sure she takes your friendship seriously? Friendship isn't a one-sided thing, Marina; it could be who takes it seriously..."

    Marina's POV "Why the hell was she arrested?" I asked for the tenth time as Mark drove towards the police station. I still couldn't believe my ears. Rachel was in a damn prison! "I think the question you ought to be asking here, is how is Lana dead" Mark remarked from the driver's chair and I glared at him. "Do you think I haven't thought about that?" I had, but even if she was dead why was Rachel being arrested for it? And Lana just died yesterday... Fuck! "Yesterday, Rachel went to meet the Andrews, do you think she saw Lana there?" I heard Mark ask and my head snapped towards him. "Are you trying to say she really killed her?" I glared at him as I asked. How was he so quick to doubt Lana... And how the hell did he know that Rachel went there yesterday? "I'm just saying." Mark shurgged. "If Lana was there, she must have said something to provoke her." "You..." My temper flared and I felt like hitting the idiot driving the car. How could he just suspect

    Rachel's POVI stared at the bars of the cell I was in, still in shock of the events that had happened in the last few hours. The detective and the other guy didn't even bother to cuff me, and just lead me to their car after telling me about what had happened to Lana. Why didn't they cuff me?Well they had no reason to. After I heard that Lana was dead, I went into shock and wasn't even aware of my surroundings any longer. The men just lead me out of the house and into their car, and here I was in a cell, in jail, in a fucking police station!Lana was dead. How was that even possible?Alot of things ran through my mind as I replayed the sentence, Lana is dead. How did she die? That was the first one. I wanted to ask, but my brain and my mouth refused to work together, and even up till now I had no idea how Lana died and why I the one blamed for it. That was if she was even dead. Lana was an actress, a very talented one. But she had a huge flaw of always using her talent for t

    Rachel's POVTears began rolling down my eyes as I held the bar. This was not fair. How was Lana even dead?I saw her just yesterday morning, and... She was fine. She was even better than fine. She acted all wicked and everything, how was this..."You there, " The junkie in the cell with me suddenly called and I turned to look at her. Regreted it immediately I did. I looked away, but that just wouldn't do it. I had already given her attention. " Yes you there, pretty face." I heard her say again this time sounding a lot closer. She had gotten up from the place she previously sat and was now just a few feet away from me, pointing a finger at my face. 'Rachel, breathe. You're in a cell with a woman who was like three times your body weight and size and could possibly kill you if you tried anything stupid... Just breathe ' I repeated to myself as a mantra as the lady ( that was if you could call a robust manly looking woman figure like that), advanced towards me." Your face is so

    Rachel's POVI got up from the floor, dusting the back of my clothes a bit before following the woman out of the cell. All I could think about was how my life was going to be like if I actually went to court and was pronounced guilty. Just a few hours in prison, and I already had a huge hand mark on my face... How was my life going to be like after I was convicted?I looked up to see the female officer leading me through an iron door."Get in..." She said opening the door wide for me making no sign of getting in also.Could this be it? I bowed my head as I got in, too embarrassed to raise up my face to anyone on the room, even if they were the ones that would finally end me. Maybe I was right after all and Lana planned all of these just to get rid of me in a more ' legal manner 'Was this how I was going to die? In a police station for a crime that was just too stupid? I should have just died months ago by the bridge when I had the chance, at least it would mean a more worthy death

    Ethan's POV After getting off the shock of the news I drove straight to the police station to see Rachel. Two things still struck me. Lana was dead and Rachel was in the police stations being blamed for that. How the hell was she being blamed for Lana's death, and why? Could she really have done it? If she did, why was she in the prison right now? She could have left the country immediately, or even have told me. I would've helped her get out of this mess... Alot of things ran through my mind as I rushed over to the station, i jist didn't know what to believe. The only woman I loved was in the station being blamed for a crime, I was not even sure whether she committed or not. Even if she did, she was Rachel Andrews, my fucking woman, Ethan Wright's woman. That title alone gave her the power and authority to do whatever the fuck she wants... But she was highly reluctant to accept it, even to believe it was hers.

    Rachel's POVWhat the fuck was he doing here? How did he even... Yeah right, the news. My face was plastered everywhere in the news, and from what I saw on Marina's phone, it was one of the most trending topics, so Ethan could know... But the question was why was he here?To condemn me too for the death of his woman?"Get the fuck out of here. I don't want to see you". I said trying to hide the hurt in my heart. For fuck sake let him just leave already " Rachel, calm down; let me explain." I heard Marina say and I snapped my head towards the woman who was advancing towards me. Explain?What the hell was she explaining?" Explain? Marina, what the hell is this? " I turned on her surprised by her words. She looked towards Ethan before looking back at me, and then I understood. " You called him? " I stated in a question-like manner before suddenly laughing at a joke only I could hear. "That's not exactly what happened, Rachel. Hear me out. I was out with Mark when...""Mark!" She

    Ethan's POVI just watched as Rachel handed herself over to the police. This was really happening?I thought Rachel would turn back, to at least take a last look at me or her friend but she didn't, until she was completely out of sight."What just happened?" Mark asked the question, which I could bet was on everyone else in this room's minds because it was on mine.Rachel just rejected her ticket to freedom just because of what, she thought I was with Lana? What kind of bullshit was that?" This is all your fault". Marina suddenly said I turned to face her. She nodded her head, wiping her tears with her hands before glaring at Mark who stood there surprised. "How is this my fault?" He asked as she shoved him off her. Mark, who had been hugging Marina all through, comforting her from Rachel's harsh words, was suddenly pushed away. " This is your fault". She said in a more stern voice before she looked at me. Why was she directing her gaze to me?"This is both of your faults. "I

    Rachel's POV No words could explain how I was feeling right now, no words. After the kiss in the living room, I couldn't hold it any longer so I dragged Ethan up to my room, leaving the rest of my family members downstairs. We had a night... Well, morning of passion, and for the first time in a long time, I was felt at peace. Ethan and I lay on my bed, our bare bodies snuggled close to each other. "I never knew you were still a virgin." Ethan said calmly, his large hands stroking my long blonde hair. My lips pulled in a smile and I shrugged slightly. "There are still somethings you don't know about me". Ethan looked so shocked when he found out as if he had expected something different, while I was also shocked for another reason... Ethan was freaking good in bed! He had told me once before that he never had a girlfriend, so I thought I would be the one to lead since I had more experience. My lower body was a virgin but that didn't mean my mind or some parts of my body were

    Rachel's POV As I shut my eyes, the sounds of the wind blowing on the windpipes I placed at the corner of my window became more prominent, the sound of the road, which was meters from here, but I could still here it. My chest heaved up and down simultaneously as I forced myself to only think of those sounds and nothing more. Three days ago, my parents came to Ethan's mansion and demanded I leave with them and since then, I had been in the Nielson's mansion. But that was three fucking days ago! When the first day passed, I was like... Maybe Olivia took harder to catch, that's why I haven't heard anything from them. When the second day passed, my resolve started to weaken, but I still trusted Ethan. He couldn't possibly leave me for Olivia right? The woman kidnapped his niece! And then that day passed. Now this was the third day, I have no idea what to think anymore.I've tried everything freaking possible; yelling, begging God, sobbing, I even swallowed up my ego and my anger I

    Ethan's POVIn less than a few hours, my plan worked. Olivia took the bait. I was right, Olivia indeed had more spies in my house and they immediately went to tell her everything I had said. Olivia probably got agitated and evaded her previous hiding spot, but that was the one thing in her plan she did wrong. Right now, I was standing outside her new hiding spot with Mark and Detective Williams. After I told Mark my real plan, he insisted we involve the police, just to make sure that Rachel's name was completely cleared. She was in an abandoned building owned by the Sangria's a few miles away from town and figured, of course, she'd use an abandoned house. " Are we sure she's in there?" Detective Williams asked, bringing out his gun from his pocket and steading it in his hands. Yup, I was sure. I nodded. The main reason because, I had her trailed her by John. I had John fixed at the outskirts of town because I knew Olivia wouldn't dare stay here anymore if she thought I was comin

    Ethan's POVAs I watched Rachel leave with her parents, I felt a piece of my entire being leaving with her. Was I making the right decision to let her leave? Maybe I should have fought her parents about their decision so she would stay. But what if things went sideways with Olivia and then the latter comes after her? " Ethan,". Hannah called me bringing me out of my thoughts. " What's going on? I thought we already knew where Olivia was. Why can't we just go there and demand my son back?" My sister asked with tears in her eyes. How was I going to say this?" I don't know where Olivia is. " Marina's eyes almost bulged out of her sockets. " You don't know what now?" She screamed. Hannah also had a look of surprise on her face. " Brother..."I ran my tongue over my patched lips. " I don't know where Olivia is right now, but..." I added before Mark would say something which he clearly looked like he wanted to. " ... I know where she will be in the next few hours". Hannah's brows fu

    Rachel's POVAs we paced outside the room the maid was kept in my heart kept beating loudly in my chest. Marina, Hannah, Mark and I kept our eyes glued to the door waiting for Ethan to come out of the room. Ethan went in few minutes ago, after I told them about my decision to not leave until Olivia's location is found. I want to at least know that I didn't ruin a little boy's life and then disappeared. " What the hell is taking him so long?" Hannah groaned desperately itching her neck and hands in irritation and desperation. " All he had to do was to kindly ask the damn lady where her accomplice or even master is, come on, just how hard is that? "I inwardly snickered. To Ethan that was very hard. He was a kind man, but that was until he was messed with. Talking kindly to that lady was like the hardest thing for him to do right now, but he had no choice. It's either that or he loses both his nephew, and his sister. Even I wouldn't be able to fill that void. The creaking sound of

    Rachel's POVThere was no room for any 'buts'. Even if it was my life, these three people right here had more say in it than I did. I just shook my head at them and began walking backward. " This isn't fair. "I wasn't a kid, I could make my own decisions. But apparently, these three people here care more about me than I did myself, so whatever decision they made for me was right, at least in their eyes."Rachel ".My parents called after me, but I turned a deaf ear as I ran up the stairs and into my room, shutting the door loudly as soon as I got him. "Dargh!!!" This was all just so frustrating. How could they ask me to leave?Oh yeah, they ain't even asking me! They were commanding me to and I was to obey?" This parents of mine are crossing the line. " I muttered angrily to myself getting hold of a pillow and throwing it towards the wall. The worst part was Ethan was in on this too. " I want to protect you; I love you, Rachel, all fucking bullshit!" If the guy loves me as he p

    Rachel's POVEthan looked as guilty as ever, so when Si... I meant my dad kept blaming him, it both looked and sounded like it really was his fault. "I'm sorry." He apologized with his head down. No, I was the only one allowed to blame him for reasons best known to me, no one else. My chest tightened and I shook my head, slowly stepping away from my mother. "It's not his fault." "How is this not his fault? All because of him you were exposed to such a dangerous woman!" My father refused to budge on his accusation. He keep a stern look and a finger at Ethan.Just seeing the way he looked so guilty... For fuck sake you're a man, deny the darn things. It wouldn't really even be called denial since it was not true in the first place. Lenora must have noticed my discomfort because she left my side and went to stand beside her husband.

    Rachel's POV"Just how mentally and physically strong can a lady be?" I complained for the tenth time I as I opened the fridge grabbing a bottle of water from it.It's been two hours. Two fucking hours of beating the shit of whatshername but yet she refused to say nothing. How could a person be so loyal to another? The only good part of all this was that I get to beat the bitch who was strapped in a chair, and I would have enjoyed it also if it wasn't for the fact that we were running out of time. "So how's is your plan going?" Hannah said from behind me in a mocking voice.I turned to look at her with a tight smile. " Why not you have a go at her? Oh, I forgot you just came out of the room where the maid's kept. I should be asking if you got anything". I snapped back at her. For the last few hours, Hannah has just been looking for ways to make me feel guilty for her son, and what I hated the most was that it was working. "Can you both please just cut it?
