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?"
Rachel's POV" What about this one, he's nice and tall and... Em... Er, rich?" I said more like a question as I pointed at him. We couldn't see his face, but from his stance, I could tell he was good looking. We arrived at the Charity gala just about ten minutes ago and I was already set in finding guys that would be a match for Marina. I had already introduced her to a few guys at the party, some of which I don't even know myself. I smiled pointing at tall man standing beside the drinks section, he was talking to an elderly man and had his back to us. He looked rich. " How can you tell that he's nice?" Marina raised her brows at me, she said mockingly. So that was sthe only thing she caught out of everything I said about him? " Well... He doesn't look bad". I shrugged looking at him even more. I felt uncomfortable, so I turned back to look at Marina who happens to be glaring at me. She was looking at me like I had just said the dumbest thing in the world."For fuck sake Rach,
Ethan's POVI searched around the gala frantically, looking for only one face. The face of the girl that have been clouding my thoughts, even my dreams for the past few weeks. My fake girlfriend who I was so madly in love with, Rachel. " Are you sure she's here?" I asked Mark when I saw him coming back from discussing with Frederick Walker, the host of this event. " Yes boss. I stylishly asked the Old Walker and he told me that he invited all the main leads of Snow Fall Love go this event". Mark answered reassuring me. I took deep breaths to calm my raging nerves. I had to get my mind of Rachel, even if it was just for a little bit. " What about the Old man, how is he? " "Oh, my grandfather is fine. Just the usual complains of why I should come back to the family business and all, nothing much". Mark said with a shrug and I shook my head at him. Mark Walker the prodigal son of the Walker family and who also happens to be Fredrick Walkers o ky grandson, and my assistant. I had a
Rachel's POVMy eyes widened when I saw what David was about to do. He wanted to hit Marina!! Before I could do anything, the man standing beside Ethan had rushed to the front and held David's hands. "How dare you try to hit a woman?" He said angrily, protecting Marina from David's gaze before shoving his hands down.I felt a surge of gratitude towards the stranger, but it was quickly replaced by my own anger and outrage. How dare David try to hurt Marina like that?! I marched towards him, my heart racing with fury."You disgust me!" I spat, my hand raised before I even realized what I was doing. I slapped him hard across the face, the sound echoing through the room.David's eyes widened in shock, his cheek red and stinging. "You...I'll..." he started, but Ethan cut him off."What would you do?" He asked, coming to stand in front of me, glaring at David. His huge body hid mine completely, shielding me from David's piercing gaze. I looked around for Marina and found her staring at E
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
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?
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
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
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.
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
