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,
After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO Chapter 37 She's happy with me
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

Rachel's POVMy head jerked to the side as I heard the bushes rustling. A man and woman emerged from behind the foliage, their clothes disheveled. The woman's garments were ruffled and slightly torn, while the man struggled to put on his pants as they took in the scene before them."Em..." The woman's eyes met mine, and she gasped in surprise. "Oh... Sorry, we didn't know anyone was here... Er... We'll just leave," the man said, holding the woman's hand and quickly leading her away from us.I recognized the woman as one of Olivia's assistants, who always accompanied her everywhere. After they departed, I turned my attention back to Ethan, finding him staring at me. The moment we shared had vanished, replaced by awkwardness."Ahem... Okay, I believe you" I said, attempting to dispel the uncomfortable atmosphere taking a step back. Ethan took a few steps back, scratching his neck nervously. We both kept silent enjoying the cool night breeze in the garden."The dress looks good on y

Rachel's POVWhat were they doing together? "Rachel, you're here!" Hannah exclaimed with a smile. She looked happy to see me, but I couldn't say the same for Olivia. She was glaring at me like she had been doing for weeks. What did I do to her?Hannah walked over to Ethan and gave him a hug. I stared at them in shock and anger. "Ethan..." He had a broad smile on his face, matching Hannah's, as he hugged her back."Ahem..." I coughed, distracting them. This better not be what I was thinking. Could Ethan and Hannah be together? No, no, no. I felt my stomach churn at the possibility. But if they were together, Ethan wouldn't display his affection for her in front of me, right? Even if we were in a fake relationship, he wasn't allowed to have a girlfriend, let alone a wife.I forced a smile and hugged Ethan's shoulder lovingly. "Babe? How do you know her?" I asked in my most loving voice.Olivia's glare intensified. If looks could kill, I'd be six feet under by now. I was also surprised

Third person's POV"David's anger erupted as he stormed into the hotel room, his face red with rage. "How dare she talk to me like that!" he bellowed, slamming the door behind him.Lana, who had been walking behind him, tried to calm him down. "David, please, you have to calm down," she said, placing a gentle hand on his shoulder.But David shook her off violently, his eyes blazing with fury. "This is all your fault, Lana!" he thundered, his finger jabbing accusingly at her. "If you hadn't convinced me to attend that charity gala, I wouldn't have run into Rachel and those people she hired to deceive me!"Lana shook her head. "How is this my fault? How was I to know that Rachel moved on from you so quickly?" David's anger increased rapidly. How dare she say that! He raised his hands to Lana's neck and began squeezing. "Let me go!" she begged desperately, trying to remove his hands from her neck so she could breathe properly, but her small hands had little effect on his strong hold."Sa

Third person's POV"Are you sure you're okay?" Mark asked Marina again after Ethan and Rachel left. His voice was filled with concern, causing Marina to smile."I'm fine, really. That bastard's hand didn't even touch me... thanks to you." She answered with a huge smile.Mark released her shoulders and clasped his hands behind his back, looking a bit awkward. "By the way, you haven't told me your name."Marina suddenly remembered. "It's Mark, and I know yours is Marina since your friend introduced you earlier.""Mark... Mark who?" She inquired, trying to remember if she had heard his name or seen him somewhere before. It would be impossible for a person without a profound, powerful, or well-known surname to be at a party like this.Mark hesitated before shaking his head. "Just Mark."Marina frowned. Why was he hiding his last name? Could he be like one of those billionaire's heirs who love keeping their identity a secret? Or could he be hiding from someone? Or was he one of those wanna
After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO Chapter 43 This is unfair!
Third person's POVOlivia had a fake smile on her face the entire time she and Rachel were conversing. Why? Well, the answer was simple. Rachel was clutching Ethan's hand lovingly the entire time! Olivia wanted so badly to rip those hands off her man, but she couldn't afford to do anything harsh, not in front of Ethan."Okay, we have to get back to the party now," Rachel said after a while, still holding onto Ethan. Olivia balled her hands into tight fists behind her back. Hannah noticed it before she looked back at Rachel with a smile. "Okay, we'll just enjoy the fresh air for a little bit." Ethan gave his sister a nod before walking hand in hand with Rachel back to the party."What was that!" Olivia yelled, enraged, as soon as Ethan was out of sight. "I should be asking you that question, Livia. What was that? Why were you behaving like that towards Rachel? You're working together, for Christ's sake." Hannah yelled at her best friend. She had noticed the change in Olivia's mood sinc

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

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?
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
