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
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
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
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
Rachel's POVAfter the long plane ride... Which I mostly slept through, this was seriously the first plane ride I have ever been on that I didn't puke at least twice. Raine was a big help. 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. I was to stay in a room with two on the the actress in the show when suddenly Marina volunteered for me to stay in her room.It was a relief to me... Buy it only made Lana glare at me even more. She had been doing that since on the plane, a
Rachel's POV"Raine... What are you doing here?"What was he doing here?I eyes the hand which was about to knock as he slowly put it down. We haven't spoken to each other much since the day at the plane a week ago, why was he here?" Em..." He folded his two hands together, fiddling with them. I raised a brow at him as I watched him have an internal battle within himself. This is going to be interesting. I folded my arms and leaned on the door. " I came to talk to you". He said at last. " Talk to me about what? " I asked and he looked like he was about to have that inter battle with himself again. He moved away from my door and began walking, I knew this was my cue to follow him, so I locked the door and went along with him." Well... First of all you haven't thanked me for helping you out on the plane...""Stop right there". I paused in my steps making him to also stop walking " I remember clearly that I've already thanked you for that... "" Oh, yes you indeed have... But yo
Rachel's POV " So what do you want to wear?" Marina asked me as we were rummaging around the mall looking for the right dress. As it turns out, she was a VIP here, so as soon as we arrived, we were taken to the VIP section of the mall, so all the clothes here we're pretty expensive." I don't know?" I replied shrugging. " If it's the price, you already said I was paying". " Duh..." I gave Marina a dumb look.If I said she was paying, I meant she was paying. Although everything in here was really expensive, I was used to seeing stuffs like this. For fuck sake I was Rachel fucking Andrews before Mia took that away from me, I could buy this mall if I got mad... That was before I married David. That shitty bastard made me become a stay at home wife, and he never gave me any money. And me, being the stupid and naive girl I once was never complained. I used all my savings up in our three miserable years of marriage, and now we're divorced and I'm left penniless. " I was really stupi
Rachel's POVNo 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 either
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. "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
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? " Marina walked up to th
Rachel's POVI winced softly in pain and I climbed back up there stairs with Ethan following behind me. That darn bitch. Did s!he think I was just going to let her little minion almost kill me and just get away with it? No freaking way I burst the door opened and walked towards Hannah, collecting the phone from her hands." Why ah..."" You better listen to me Olivia and listen good. I will find you you damn witch and when I do, all hell would fucking break lose. If you think what you did to Lana was bad, just you wait and see or better yet feel what I'm going to do to you." You're going to wish for death, you would beg for it but I sure as hell wouldn't grant your wish you psychotic bitch! "I cursed ranting into the phone. " Rachel? You're with Hannah? " Olivia asked sounding surprised, but then the surprise in her voice wore off. " I can see, good luck finding me ". She laughed maliciously before ending the phone call. "Hey Olivia, Olivia!!!" I yelled into the phone, but it wa
