After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO Chapter 21 Quit the show
Rachel and Martha sat opposite each other in the open restaurants without saying anything. Rachel heart couldn't stop beating as she thought of the many things her mother would want to talk to her about. Everything leading back to Lana. She was very sure that Lana had a hand in this meeting, and what her mother was about to say would prove it. "Mother... How... How have you been?" Rachel asked hesitatingly, before she picked up her coffee sipping it slowly, but shakily. Martha just stared at her without movements, it scared Rachel even more not knowing what was going on in her mother's head. " Mum... Please say something". She pleaded keeping down her coffee cup. " What do you expect me to say? " Martha finally spoke, her tone and attitude cold. Rachel was taken aback by her mother's cold voice but didn't show it." Why are you speaking to me like that... If anything I'm the one who was wronged... "" You... Wronged? " Martha laughed mockingly, picking you her coffee and sippin
After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO Chapter 22 The pain
Rachel's POVTears built up in my eyes as my mother accused me of sleeping with directors just to get a part in the show. She accused me of sleeping with men for money, me!Never in my life would I ever think that she would do something like that... For Lana... That damn... She even slapped me for her... Why can't she tell that that bitch is lying? Why was she only accusing me?" Is it because Lana complained to you that we would be working together? Is that why you're doing this?" I asked her with tears in my eyes. I watched as she struggled to find an excuse. Why couldn't she see between her daughter's lies? Is this what it meant when they said blood is thicker that water?" No..." I heard her say, then she continued. " It's because I don't want you inconveniencing my daughter in any way. Lana is a good child, no matter what you do to her, she always has your side. She pleads for you everytime... Why can't you see how good of a sister she is?" Good child? ...Good sister? If an
After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO Chapter 23 I'll take care of you
Ethan's POVI came home from work earlier that usual today. My mind wouldn't let me be at peace at work knowing that Rachel went to met her mother today. I wanted to call her to ask how it went, but decided to just come back home and see how she was doing for myself.I saw John pacing around the car he drove out in the morning with worry written all over his face. " What happened to her?" I immediately asked.Few minutes before I arrived, I had called him to ask how the outing with Rachel went, and his tone didn't sound good. " Boss, she... Ms Rachel... " He stammered.Fear began growing in my heart. My patience ran thin. " Tell me what happened, godammit! " I cursed impatiently. Could it be that she ran away again? " Ms Rachel is inside the house... But she left her mother's with tears". He explained slowly. Thank God she's home... But what could they have possibly done to her again to make her cry?I gave John a nod before walking into the house, heading straight to Rachel's
After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO Chapter 24 The plan
Rachel's POV" Holy shit!" I exclaimed immediately I opened my eyes. The light blinded my eyes so I had to shut them and open it again to adjust to it. My eyes felt heavy, really heavy to open. I tried to move my body around, but was not able to, it felt like something was aroung my waist holding me down. "What the..." My eyes widened in surprise when I saw the state I was in on the bed and with whom. My head was on Ethan's chest and his huge arm was wrapped around my waist, holding my close to him."Emm..." He muttered something I couldn't grasp before shifting me closer to himself. My face was now so close to his, way too close. I could outline his handsome features so clearly. His eyes were shut tight because he was still in a deep sleep." Perfect.." The was the only word I could think of to qualify him. I slowly removed one of my arms from under his body, using it to hold my face as I stared at his. If anyone would have told me that the googled eye glasses Ethan that I on
After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO Chapter 25 The plan 2
Rachel's POVThe confusion on Ethan's face increased significantly. " Explain " He murmured staring back at me. I let out a huge sigh before bending down in front of him. " Since you meant what you said the last time, I want us to act on it "I motioned with my fingers for him to bring his ears closer. He brought down his face, and my mouth was just beside his ears. " Let's pretend to be together" I whispered to him ever so slowly in fear what he might just snap or immediately refuse. I took few steps back to see the expression on his face. It wasn't disgust, that's a good thing. In fact it was unreadable. " So... " I stressed awkwardly staring at his face. " How is that going to get back at Lana? "He didn't object... That's a good thing. I walked back to my bed and sat on it, looking down on my hands. " You're no longer the Ethan we all knew before... You're not rich, to points I can't even phantom, and handsome..." I paused to look at Ethan after I said handsome. Just li
After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO Chapter 26 This guy has a girlfriend
Rachel's POV I turned immediately to face him. He was wearing an apron... a fucking apron. His eyes caught mine and I struggled to remove my gaze from him. "What do you have there?" I asked with an awkward smile looking everywhere around the room but directly at him. ' Why are you wearing a apron? Did you cook this by yourself? ' I wanted so badly to ask him those questions, but I bit my lips to hold them back. " Since you had nothing to eat the yesterday, I just wanted to make sure you ate before leaving the house... You know just boyfriend duty". Boyfriend?I rolled my eyes at his words. " I thought we're only dating in the eyes of the public, what's with the doting boyfriend act?" I asked in mist of my laughter.Ethan shrugged. "I'm practicing... For my girlfriend". He answered taking in my outfit. The way he was looking at me made me self conscious, and I shivered under his gaze. Wait a second... This guy has a girlfriend. "You... You have a girlfriend? " I asked awkwa
After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO Chapter 27 Boring meeting, angry Lana
Rachel's POV " We just want all our actors to get acquainted with each other since the acting of the movie is about to begin... " Director George Stone went on and on talking about the does and don't in acting the film, and sincerely it was getting really boring. The only reason I wasn't fast asleep already was because Marina was seated beside me and Lana had been glaring daggers at me since the moment I walked into the meeting room.If felt so refreshing to see that she was mad at me. She had thought that after whatever mum said to me I would quit the show... Well she thought wrong. If anything if only made me want to expose her even more. A the main actors of the film were present. That was how I got to know Raine... The guy I met few days ago, was the male lead and the stupid husband that slept with another girl apart from his wife. And there was this little kid there too, he was sitting beside Raine, Probably the little kid Joyce gives birth too. Though he looked to be around
After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO Chapter 28 In a plane with Raine
Rachel's POVLana chest heaved up and down in anger, as she pointed her middle finger at me waving it angrily. " I know what you're trying to do. It's not going to work... What are you still even doing here? "I looked left and right. Everyone in the room attention was now on us... Including Raine and that little kid, he was cute though. But what was Lana doing? Couldn't she see that she was making a fool of herself and she was trying to drag me down with her. And the ' what are you doing here? ' question, did she think that mother complains and orders would keep me away from the set? " What do you mean? I'm an actress her and so are you". I answered looking around the room..Lana shook her head in rage. " You still had the guts to show your face here after everything mother told you..."" Well... Your mother only said that I should keep my younger sister safe. She doesn't want you to get influence by anyone, what did you think she said..." I asked blinking my eyes even more inno

After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO Chapter 144 You're the one I love
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.
After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO Chapter 142 Silent love
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
After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO Chapter 140 I've found her
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 ".
After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO Chapter 139 The test read positive
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
After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO Chapter 138 We are her family
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. "I'm fine, just thinking about stuf
After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO Chapter 137 Home sweet home
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
After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO Chapter 136 You're free
Rachel's POVI 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
