Lana's POVMy eyes widened in shock and my mouth curved in excitement, how could I feel this much emotions just from hearing those four words. I hate her tooOlivia hates Rachel too... That was fucking fantastic!!!I couldn't stop the smile on my lips from spreading even wider, and before I knew it, the smile transformed into a full grin. I could feel Olivia's irked expression, but the smile won't just stop. This was the best news I've heard in a long time. "What the hell could you be possible thinking to make you smile that much? " Olivia asked taking a step back. I shrugged, clearing my throat to mask my smile. " Nothing really... Just about Rachel's downfall and how I'll crush her. " I said looking down at the ground. Did I sound too serious?I did not want Olivia to think of me crazy, but that was the truth. But then I looked up at Olivia, thinking only one thing, why did this lady hate Rachel? "But wait a second, why do you hate her? " I asked out of curiosity I was defi
Ethan's POVSince Rachel asked me to decide where we should go, I picked the park which was just a few miles from here. It was one of my favorite places to go when I was in England, so I decided to take her there, unsure of how she would react. Rachel's eyes widened when she saw the place, and I was proud of myself for thinking of bringing her here. It was the Geraldine Garden one of the most beautiful and serene place in the whole of England, the place was covered in beautiful trees of different types, with two water bodies, a beautiful lake with a natural water fall, and a small pond with a water fountain and a few swans flying around. I loved the excited look on Rachel's eyes when she saw the the swans, she acted like a little girl the entire day pointing to different structures and animals. When she saw the water fall, her mouth almost dropped. I admit it was a good place to think, especially because there were few people in the garden since it was entry by card only... But se
Rachel's POV" What do you want to know about me?" Ethan asked coughing awkwardly. Sincerely there had been alot of awkward moments today, of just few minutes ago, he was comparing himself to the garden, and I've caught him staring at me several times already. Could he be that he likes me?Na... I shook my head, he can't like me. I just got divorced to a man I've been married to before just three years, plus he caught me trying to jump off a bridge to end my life. I'm like a broken project that he probably wants to fix, and for that I'm more than grateful already..Now back to his question what do I want to know about him? I placed my hands under my chin as I began to think. I already had most of the questions I wanted to ask him jotted down, but should I just start asking like that? It would seem pretty rude, so I began with a simple question. " How old are you?" I asked looking back at Ethan who had a surprise and amused look. It was like he was expecting something more difficu
Rachel's POVWe were in the middle of a serious conversation, and yet here I am staring at Ethan's lips longingly. Snap out of it Rachel!I shook my head moving away from him slightly. "What did you say?" I asked since I heard absolutely nothing he was saying because I was so focused on how his lips moved. " I said that Jake really adores you". Jake? Which Jake? My brows furrowed in confusion. Oh... Jake! His sister's son. " Adores me? Who... No, when did he tell you that?" I asked me a cough after I noticed the concerned look he was giving me. Look away... For heaven's sake I'm fine. I begged in my head. " The day after the welcoming party..." Ethan trailed off, and my brows went up in realization. That was the day I met his crazy... I mean, sister. The boy asked me to help him find his mum, which was more let me lead you to where my mum is so both of you would get acquainted. "I remember. I didn't know the boy already got an impression of me from just one out of stage meet
Rachel's POV I opened my mouth in shock as I stared at the disconnected phone. Why did Marina sound so agitated over the phone? What was going on? "Rachel's what's wrong?" Ethan asked with worry etched on his face.Argh... I would hate to do this now, but Marina sounded really urgent. I stood up abruptly picking my bag from the bench before looking back at Ethan who was already off the bench. " I have to go". The moment I said that, a small pout appeared on Ethan's lips, before with disappeared and turned to a frown. "Why? What happened?" He asked walking closer. "Marina just called, and she sounded urgent. I have to see what's going on". I said biting my lower lips. The Marina I knew would never disturb me when she knew I was with Ethan for two reasons, one it's either she was busy or two, as from yesterday, she was still feeling guilty towards him, so now that she called it had to be important. " I'm sorry for leaving like this, especially since your the one who cleared your
Rachel's POVMarina countenance changed as soon as she said it. She was, she was afraid." How are you sure she was talking about me?" I asked as soon as I heard the ding sound from the elevator. Marina gave me a dumb look " Who else could Olivia and Lana have a common hatred towards? " She asked with a incredulous tone as she led me... Out?" Where are we going? " I asked surprised. Because Marina was in front of me I wasn't able to see the she pressed on the elevator, but now I was very sure it was not to our floor. " Well, right after I saw the two talking together, I also saw Olivia whisper something to George Stone, now he called of the break and ordered me to call all the actors back to set, well... To call the actors back to their rooms to pick up their things". She completed. But the time she was done, I could clearly see which floor we were up, oh... And it wasn't even a floor, it was the freaking roof!What the hell!Holy shit! I exclaimed as I looked down briefly from t
Lana's POV" Everyone else is accounted for, remaining the young director, Rachel, and Raine," Olivia announced as she walked towards me with a bright smile on her face which I couldn't help but reciprocate. " I told you the copter was a nice idea; Rachel would be scared out of her wits. Even if she does ride it, she might probably pass out or, even better, die". I smiled. Rachel was good at hiding her fears, always trying to prove that she was better than everyone else. But well, she was one of the people to who Rachel revealed all her secrets and one of the worst ones was of heights and flights, and combining the both would be just...A soft smile escaped from my lips as I thought of what could happen to her. First, she would just refuse to leave on the helicopter and choose to travel by land or even sea, and that would make the director angry because of how urgent he wanted to shoot the scene, which could end her career. Second, She would hop on the copter to prove something to
Rachel's POV"Ok, this is really scary". I said breathing in and out quickly to calm my raging nerves.I was in a helicopter.A freaking fucking flying helicopter!How was in a helicopter right now again?" It's alright, it would be a short trip". I heard Marina say and I glared at her.Short? Really short?How was a journey from here to Florida, specifically Miami short? What did she think of me, stupid?Marina raised her hands in surrender, taking the seat opposite me. " Okay, it's pretty long, but we'll get there in just a few hours ".I almost rolled my eyes at her statement. If not for how scared I was, I would have.Just a few hours? Did she think I would last that long?I was about giving her an answer when I heard the man seated beside me laugh.I turned to him, giving him a dumb look. " And what's so funny mister?" I asked.Raine coughed before sitting up straight. "Nothing, I'm just...""Just what?" I insisted, my look turning to a glare. Did he think I was funny? Did anyone
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
