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

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

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

" 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

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

The entertainment company sponsoring the movie had already reserved a room for each and every one of the actors, but mine happens to be with Marina. How did that happen... Well, only the first four main leads were lucky enough to have a room to themselves, the rest of us had to manage like three or four in the same room because of how much people that were there. Each and everyone of us brought a make-up artist and a fashion designer, well apart from Olivia who brought two of both and Lana who brought to make up artist, but we had to be the one to suffer it.

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. "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
After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO Chapter 135 Terminated contract
Ethan's POV " Is it done yet?" I asked Mark as he walked into my office. Today was the fifth day after Rachel got arrested, and although I wanted to spend time with her at the hospital, my work back at the office were piling up and were not practically begging for my attention. Plus it was not like I really saw Rachel anyways. I would just seat at the waiting room all day as Joyce gave me updates about her situation. Mark had nagged me for hours to come to the office, and here I was seated there but I still couldn't get anything done. All I could think about was her. "Answer me Mark, did you do it?" I asked again as my best friend sat down on the chair opposite me. "If we want to do this the legal way without pulling any strings, I don't think there is a way to get Rachel out of prison". What? I scoffed in disbelief. I had asked Mark to find a way to get Rachel out of jail for the meantime while I focus on finding the killer and this was the news he was bringing back?
After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO Chapter 134 That was Ethan's child
Rachel's POV"And what's that?" Marina asked looking confused. I took in a deep breath shutting my eyes. I had thought that I wouldn't have to tell anyone about this, but seeing Marina here, acting so... Marinaish... I just couldn't help it. "I want to tell you the truth about what really happened the night Lana was killed," I said with a grim expression, and Marina's eyes almost popped out of her head in shock. "What the fuck?"...THE NIGHT LANA WAS KILLEDRachel's POV "That fucking crazy bitch!" I cursed constantly hitting the steering wheel of my car. Lana was a bastard, and all she did was to get on my nerves. It was getting sickening and I was getting tired and frustrated about it. "Just you wait and see bitch..." Just as I said that I sighed. Lana's car left the mansion, and I smirked.There was no way I was losing her now. I started my car and followed hers all the way to the... Mall?Really?After everything she just said to me she went to a freaking mall?! To do wha
After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO Chapter 133 We are somehow together
Rachel's POVWhat was Marina doing here?Although Joyce said she came to visit me, I didn't expect her to come in. Not after everything I said to her. The Marina I knew back then could hold a grudge for a long time, though she never did for me, but maybe I had crossed the limit. Who was I kidding? I did cross the limit."What are you doing here?"Marina rolled her eyes. "Can't I come to visit my best friend?" She asked sounding offended. I instantly shook my head. "That's not what I..."She smiled with a slight giggle. " It was acting. I was just messing with you; of course, I know you missed me." Marina said with a proud smile. My lips involuntarily hooked up. Despite everything I did and said to her, she was still here. Then my smile went down and so did my face. "I'm sorry," I muttered in a low voice but loud enough for her to hear. "I know you are," I heard Marina say and flashed my head towards her. "You just got arrested for something you didn't do, and then you find out
After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO Chapter 132 We may have to let her go
Marina's POVMy mind began to wander about after sitting in the waiting room for almost an hour. I was still yet to see Rachel and I was getting really bored. I couldn't just get on my phone because Lana's death was the most trending topic on social media right now, and I was afraid that if I even as much as glanced at it, I would get myself riled up. I leaned into my chair shutting my eyes as I breath in and out calmly. Just when I was about falling asleep the sharp sound of something vibrating woke me up. " Just who the hell is that? " I groaned, taking my phone out of my purse to check the ID caller. Fuck, it was director George Stone. Blinking my eyes in surprise, I cleared my throat severally before picking up the call. " Yes sir, "" Marina, you have heard the latest news, right? " The director's deep, stern voice came from the other side of the phone, and I gulped. ' Of course, I've heard. It took you almost four days to even call! '" Yes, I have, sir," I said instead.
After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO Chapter 131 Investigate Ethan
David's POV" Have you gone crazy? That was Ethan Wright and you disrespected Rachel in front of him!" Jameson thundered as soon as we were out of the hospital. I wasn't fully listening to what Jameson was saying because my entire mind was clouded with anger at Ethan, plus the excruciating pain I was feeling from my finger wasn't helping matters. That bastard Ethan had the guts to break my finger, and that too very easily. Who the hell was he?Yes, he was a billionaire and the CEO of one of the biggest companies in the country, but how the hell was he able to break my finger so easily?" That man must be hiding something". I muttered to myself. " Are you kidding? Seriously David? And you're thinking that now?" Jameson yelled, his eyes almost popping out of his skull. " Yes, I am. " I growled, before shaking my head to get my emotions back in check. I held Jameson's hands frantically and made him look at me." Just take a look at it. Up until six months ago, we had never heard of t
