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
Olivia's POV After the last scene we had for the day, I went back to my room to prepare for the party, but then I discovered I didn't pack any clothes for a party. " Janice, Kia get ready we're going to the mall". I knew only one mall that was closer to the hotel and would be opened at this time. My two assistants got ready and we headed over to the mall.I was directed to the VIP section of the mall, since I was VIP. I picked up a dark green dinner gown and was about to give to my assistant to hold when I heard a familiar voice. " If it's the price I already said I was paying". I crunched my eyebrows... I know that person. It was the junior director who always gets on my nerves when I was acting, Marina. I was about walking away, what they were doing here wasn't my business, but then I heard another familiar voice" I was really stupid". The voice sounded like the new actress who got casted with me for the biggest show that would air, Snow Fall Love, Rachel. Why did she ejust
Rachel's POVI stood by the corner of the counter watching the others enjoy the party. It was kind of nice, bit I was not really into socializing right now. " A margarita ". I said to the bartender who immediately started preparing my order."Here Ms". I gave him a killer smile and took the margarita, carefully sipping it in front of him. Relishing the sour taste of the lemon and lime in it. Just perfect from my mood right now. The bartender face flushed red, as he tried to avoid my gaze on him. I gave him a wink loving the way he blushed anytime our eyes met. Cute. That was one word for him. He was more good looking than most if the other guys in this party and really shy too. I was having fun playing with my male blushing bride before I felt a certain gaze on me, which felt like they wanted to tear me into pieces. Only one person looked at me like that, Lana. I rolled my eyes taking my gaze away from the bartender to where Lana was, and truly she was staring at me but her gaz
Rachel's POVDirector George Stone gave me a earful the following morning. How the hell did he even out?I was only gone for a few minutes and by the time I returned, he was already gone so I just retired back to my room.Someone must have seen me when I went along with Jake for awhile. The only problem now is that I was not sure who it was. Olivia or Lana?Because every since that day at the mall, Olivia behavior towards me became strange. She was always glaring daggers at me when she thought I wasn't looking and she always gave me a sweet smile whenever I looked at her. It was beyond creepy.Almost like the what happened to me the night if the party. That woman was talking to herself. I looked around the room that day and I saw no one else in that room but she was shouting, screaming at an imaginary person to leave her be. Could she possibly be mad?No... No, mad was a bit too harsh. Maybe she was a psychiatric patient, or something, but she was definitely not normal. " Darg
Rachel's POV" The Walker's has invited all main leads to their event this Saturday and I expect everyone of you to be there. Any questions?". Director George Stone asked as he closed the early morning meeting. It was finally over. All I pray now is that they should be no questions. Everything the man said was simple and easy to understand. But someone just refused to allow me celebrate in peace and raised up her hand. " Including the supporting actors? Like you know the non important ones like the third female lead? " Lana asked after the director asked her to speak. I rolled my eyes. " Does she know she's also a supporting actress? Second or third their still supporting actors". Marina whispered in my ear and I chuckled. Lana was no longer thinking anymore... The only thing on that girl's mind was how to annoy me, so how would she remember that she's also a supporting actress. " Ms Fareham..." "Andrew". Lana interrupted the director and I rolled my eyes again. " Excuse me?"
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
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. "
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. "I'm fine, just thinking about stuf
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
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
