Rachel's POV

I hugged myself with my hands sighing for the fifteenth time in the last hour.

Marina and Joyce were in the room with me yet I still felt lonely. I missed Ethan, so much.

No matter how much I tried not to think of him, or even to just forget about everything he did, I just couldn't, and hearing Joyce talk that he was around wasn't helping either.

I mean, why would a guy cheat on you, then after his girlfriend dies (PS, you're being blamed for the murder ), start doing everything he could to get you out of prison?

What the hell was that?

Was he waiting for Lana to die or something?

"Rachel what are you thinking about ". I heard Marina say, and I blinked, looking at her.

" What? " I asked still feeling lost.

Marina shook her head before looking at Joyce, and then at me.

" Are you still thinking about the meeting happening in a few days? " She asked before speaking again. " Nothing is finalized yet. And you can't let that bother you, you literally have bigger issues on

    Rachel's POVAfter the extremely awkward moment with Lenora, Joyce announced that I could be discharged today. I found the sudden information surprising and that was when she explained that the only reason I was still on the hospital as from two days ago was only because I would be immediately taken back to the station if I was discharged, so she just choose not to discharge me. Ain't that nice?I was all set to go back to Marina's house, when Ethan just grabbed my things and said: "You're coming with me."Judging from the look on both Joyce and Marina's faces, they had thought I was going to argue, and that would probably been the right thing to do. My brain was screaming red alerts. What if he was taking me back with him to avenge Lana's death? She was after all the woman he was in love with, but my heart and body refused listening to my head. I just followed him out like an obedient puppy, and we were now on the way to his car. " Hey, Rachel!" I heard someone yell my name, a

    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.

    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'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 ".

    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

    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. "

    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.

    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

    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

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

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.

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. "Honey, it's alright." "We can't keep blaming Ethan until we hear the entire story." She said calmly but then she turned towards Ethan and her calm smi

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?
