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

  • After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO   Chapter 110 I didn't kill her

    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. I arrived at the station in recorded time and hurriedly walk

    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

    Ethan's POVMark blinked as if taken aback by the question. Marina smiled taking a step towards Mark. "Yeah Mark, tell us. Do you really think would kill Lana?" then she shook her head." I phrased the question wrong because Rachel would kill Lana if she could; what I want to ask is, do you think Rachel killed Lana?" Her voice held so much emotion; I was so sure that if Mark said the wrong thing right now, he was going to lose the woman forever. Knowing how much he had feelings for her, I just couldn't allow him to do that to himself. "That's enough." My loud voice echoed around the room and I heard Mark release a thankful sigh."Whatever Mark thinks doesn't matter..." I looked at him before muttering a 'for now.'With the way he was acting, I was very sure he knew something more than he was letting out, and I had to find it out. "What matters right now is figuring the hell out how to get Rachel out of this mess she somehow got entangled with... ""What if she really was the one w

    Rachel's POV"Hi guys." I greeted as soon as I sighed Joyce and Marina seated in the living room. They were both discussing something and looked up to me as I came down from the stairs. "Rachel..."I frowned at Joyce's nervous voice. Why was she nervous? I wondered and my curiosity deepen even more when I noticed Marina nudge Joyce in the stomach. " What's going on here? " I asked raising my brows at them while giving them a skeptical look. "What... What do you mean?" Joyce scratched the back of her neck letting out a little laugh before shaking her head. " N... Nothing". Marina face palmed herself looking embarrassed at Joyce acting skills. It was terrible. Marina was a movie director so she knew when a person was a bad liar, but it didn't take that much to notice. " Seriously guys what is it?" I sat down beside them, my eyes darting the both of them. For a split second my mind went back to whatever could have happened yesterday with me and Ethan that I didn't remember.Coul

    Rachel's POVI blinked multiple times to adjust my eyes light in the room before opening them back again. It was so bright. Why was it so bright? I groaned turning around on the bed. "Fuck". I exclaimed as I sat up, holding my head with both hands. "Ouch... Why do my head hurt so much" I felt like it was being pounded upon and gosh that hurt. What happened anyways? I wondered wincing as I opened my eyes again to look around. I was in my room, in Ethan's house. But how did I even get here?The last thing I remembered was that I was in this room, seating on the bed when I suddenly felt thirsty so I got up and left. I went to the kitchen, drank a bottle of water, and was about coming back to this room, when... When I met Ethan. I blinked as the rest of what happened last night came back to me bit by bit. He was seated by the counter with a bottle of alcohol, and I went to seat by him... And I drank!From there every thing else was fuzzy and blurry. " Rachel you drank". I repeated

    Ethan's POVI stayed in my study for the rest of the evening meditating on everything that had happened today at the office. Rachel was the lost daughter of the Nielsons. She was Emerald Nielson, and her parents wanted her back.The information was just so surprising. What baffled me now was, how did Emerald, or Rachel end up in the hands of the Andrews?From what I knew, the Nielson were in Europe when their daughter went missing, while the Andrews were a family established in the states. " I need a drink ". I sighed standing up from seat and walking towards my mini bar.My eyes instantly surveyed the numerous amount of bottles there but couldn't find any bottle of bourbon. What?I had made sure to always stock up, and I don't drink often. But this past few weeks had been terrible. I couldn't sleep until I had at least a few glasses to take my mind of things. "I don't even know if I'm drinking to celebrate Rachel finding her parents or to get rid of all these questions revolvin

  • After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO   Chapter 143 She was Emerald Nielson

    Ethan's POV" Mr and Mrs Nielson are here to see you ". Mark announced as we walked through the halls to my office. They are here?My brows furrowed together in confusion. 'This could probably be related to Rachel '. I thought. Two days ago the woman met me in my office and offered to help, and just yesterday she interfered in Rachel's case and got her freed. But the question was why?" Do you think it's about the help Lenora rendered to Rachel yesterday?" Mark asked the exact question in my mind and I looked up at him. "Probably". I shugged as we proceeded. Mark read out the some of what I had to do today and I listened keenly. This last few weeks I had been so behind on work, that it was starting to have an effect on the company. "Also, I've gotten all the CCTV cameras footage in Lana's house checked and even all the cameras within a one mile radius ". I stood walking, just few metres from my office. " What then? " So far, Lana's death was one issue that got me on edge.

    Rachel's POVI froze as I stared at the older woman. Ethan? In love with me?" How can you lie so freely?" I asked after a while. Why can't I believe it? Why can't I just tell myself it's the truth and actually believe it?Maybe it was because I had seen what really was real, and I couldn't even allow myself to pretend anymore. "Lie? " Victoria looked shocked as she stood up from the bed. " Why do you think it's a lie huh?" She argued. "Isn't it not? " I retorted before releasing a sigh "Ethan can't be in love with me. He probably doesn't even like me that much ". I felt my heart sink into my stomach as soon as those words left my mouth. Why was I feeling disappointed with my own words? They were the truth. The sooner I began telling myself the truth, the better it would be for both me and... Well me. I'm the only one suffering anyway. Victoria shook her head and looked down at me with pity. " You really are a fool, Rachel, since you can't see what's right in front of you. "

  • After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO   Chapter 141 Ethan was in the military

    Rachel's POVI had been avoiding Ethan all morning since we came back from the hospital. What was I to say to him?The man was strange, really strange. If Lana was the love of his life, why was he still acting all nice and sweet and kind to me? Was he bipolar?If it turned out he was, that would explain a lot of things. I threw down the book I was reading with a sigh. Just to reduce the probability of bumping into Ethan, I had cooped myself up in my room since morning, and right now, I was so bored that even reading wasn't helping. Guess getting out of the hospital and jail wasn't too good. At least in the hospital, I had Joyce and, lately, Marina to talk to.The way Lenora just came in and me magically being released... It all remained a mystery to me."For fuck sake Rachel, stop thinking about that now. You're out and that's it."But wasn't there a catch?There had to be a catch, or at least something someone was not telling me. How could I just magically get released from jai

    Lenora's POV I rushed down into into my mansion, where Simon, Owen and Raine where seated in the living room, probably waiting for me. " I've found her, I finally found her ". I nodded my head, a huge smile plastered on my face as I sang." I've actually found her ". " Found who? " " What's going on mum? " Owen and Raine asked at the same time. I just couldn't help myself from grinning as I danced around happily. Today was officially the happiest day of my life. " Len, what's going on? " Simon asked walking up to me as he held my hands. " And why are you crying? " Tears? I blinked, realizing that tears had begun to flow from my eyes again. " This... This are tears of joy Simon, joy ". I answered, enjoying the suspense in the room. " Could you tell us so we can be part of this joy? " Owen remarked sarcastically while standing up from his chair. " Some of us had to take a quick two hours flight down here in a jet just because you mentioned that it was really urgent ".

    Lenora's POVShe raised her head up and pointed at herself "Me?" She said in a high tone before blinking twice to compose herself. "I recently turned twenty six ma'am." Twenty six. I repeated to myself nodding my head. "Did you test if you are my daughter? Is that yours?" I asked, rasing the tube up and she instantly shook her head. "No..." She laughed putting out her hand. "I know my parents. I just went to the lab and found this one there" She explained.I pursed my lips handing the tube over to Joan who took it with both hands. "You do this one, I'm off to check on some of the patients". Joan looked at me in surprise, and I couldn't blame her. The past few years, I had always been the one conducing the test alone and she knew it. But she had been working for me for over ten years, and I knew her very well. She was trust worthy enough, plus there was no guarantee that it could or could not be the right one. I gave her a tight smile before walking back to my office. I had sa

    Lenora POV...Few days ago ..."Today is the day for the test Mrs Nielson." Joan Jett, my friend and the manager of the hospital said as we both walked back to my office. I had insisted that we do a round check on some of the patients in the top floor, something I started to do after the lady, Rachel Andrews was admitted her. I found myself being drawn to her in many ways than one, and was extremely dishearten after I heard she was arrested for a murder crime.It even became worse after I heard from my niece who was her doctor than she was rushed to an hospital after gotten almost beaten to death by a jail warder. She did look like a stubborn lady, but what could she possibly have said to a jail warden for the person to want to kill her with a beating?"... Mrs Nielson". "Huh?" I asked in confusion after I head Joan call my name. " Are you alright ma'am? I've been calling you for the past few minutes". She said looking worried and I nodded.
