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" I'll be seeing him after a very long time, I have to make everything perfect ". I told my best friend, Lana over the phone. Today was the day David and I are finally going to consummate their marriage. We had been married for three years, three fucking years yet that man had never touched me.As surprising as it sounds, it's true. Starting from the day David and I got married, he had begun to act strange. On our wedding night, he just left and came back the next day, we didn't even have an honeymoon. Well, all that was going to change today. He would be coming back after his long business trip that took almost six months and I was ready." Just don't stress yourself out. I know how much you want today to turn out perfect but..." Lana tried to say, but I'm not hearing any if it. " Lana, if everything goes well, you'll be a godmother in nine months, isn't that exciting? ". " Shelly... " I could actually feel the way Lana would be shaking her head right now at my overe
Rachel's POV " You gold digging, two face, stupid..." I was about raining down insults on Lana when David stopped me. He shoved my hands from his legs and backed away. " I don't want to hear another word of insult from your mouth to Lana again " He yelled. "Now sign those papers and let me be free from this bondage called marriage". His words hurt me more than anything. Bondage? He thought our marriage was a bondage?We had known each other long before we got married, he took my fucking first time, yet he called what we had bondage?I clenched my teeth tightly. " No, I'm still not signing those papers". I said firmly getting up from my kneeling position which I had kept for a while now. David smirked. Something about the way he looked at me made me shiver. " You are going to sign those papers, if not... the alliance between Hart industries and Andrew Corporation would be annulled". David stated going to stand next to Lana who kissed him on the cheeks to spite me. "What?" I
Ethan's POVI came down from the airport putting on my shades. I'm finally back to the country, I had been gone for over seven years. "Boss ". My driver and also right hand man, John walked up to me and bowed. "Everything is ready your coming Sir ". He said and I nodded. "Let's get going, it's getting dark and the wind is picking up". John rushed to the backseat to open the door for me and closed it back after I was seated. " Boss, it would be faster if we followed the bridge". He advised and I gave him a goal ahead. We were driving across the bridge when I saw a thin frail figure climbing onto the bridge's railing. "Stop the car" . I ordered, and immediately got off rushing to met the said person. The figure was just about jumping off the railing when I got to her, taking her thin body in my arms. Looking down at her, my eyes widened in shock when I saw her face. Rachel Andrews. Who also happens to be the main reason why I came back to the country. What the hell did she jus
Rachel's POVThe gorgeous stranger just said he was my favorite pastime. What the hell could be my fav... Holy shit!I shook my head, as it dawned on me who this familiar handsome man could be. " No, you can't be, are you... goggle glasses Ethan?"My eyes widened even more when he nodded his head. This was goggle glasses Ethan? What?" But you're not... This... " I became really confused. Ethan Wright, as he called himself, my favorite pastime and he was right. Back when we were in highschool, there was a boy who I always picked on because of his big glasses which was always on his face, and that happened to be the gorgeous man in front of me?" Unbelievable". I muttered my eyes glued to his strong biceps budging out of the tight t-shirt he wore. The Ethan Wright I knew back in the secondary school was a normal looking, thin scrawny looking nerdy kid, with a tidy uniform and big glasses, while the man staring back at me, is a huge, muscular, handsome god! " Surprising isn't it?
Rachel's POVMy eyes widened in surprise. Ethan's words kept ringing in my eyes. Be with meI want you to be with meWhy would he want to be with me?Hello... I was his nightmare!We should be enemies, seriously if I were him I would gloat at me in a situation like this, but instead he wants to help?I was about to say something when I felt a slight discomfort in my throat, and I..." Archeeeew". A huge sneeze escaped from my lips. Breaking the weird silence between us. " Are you okay? How long were you standing on the bridge before I found you? You must have caught a cold".I stared at Ethan confused by his questions. Few seconds ago, he was so close to me that I thought he would do something, but now he's so concerned about me that it was scary. As if to answer his long lost of questions, my knees gave away and I lost my balance. I braced myself for the fall, but Instead of my face harshly hitting, I felt a warm embrace. My heart beat increased as I looked up at him. " I onl
Rachel's POV. I groaned awake shifting on the huge really comfortable bed. My eyes finally flipped opened after turning around for a while. All what happened yesterday to this morning flashed before my eyes and I remembered everything. I got down from the bed to inspect the room properly, I didn't have the time to do that when I first arrived. It was huge, and beautiful and blue and... My phone went off with a ding. I picked up my broken screen cellphone to check who it was. "Why!" I suddenly screamed surprising even myself. The door opened with a bang and Ethan burst. "What's wrong? Did anything happen?" Ethan worriedly asked coming to stand next to me. My chest went up and down as I heaved for breath. I shook my head to answer his question."It's nothing". From Ethan's expression, I could tell that he didn't believe me. He reached for my hand which held the phone and took it from me. He read the stupid message which was just sent to me aloud. " Come to the house right
Rachel's POVFamily? Did my mother just call that evil jealous bitch Family! I couldn't believe my ears. My mother was indeed clueless about the situation, and they were using it against me!I'll have to tell my mother the truth later, for now I had to face the bitch who destroyed my marriage and almost my life. " Get away from my grandfather you conniving whore!" I instructed. " What are you saying Chelle? " My eyes widened like I was in a TV show or something. Lana put on a pitiful expression on her face, her eyes were already so red making it look like she was at the brink of tears. I scoffed. Never would I imagine that my actress of a friend would try to put on an fake pretense act on me. " Still that rubbish, what are you even pretending for?" She already got David, and by the look of it, he was madly in love with her, so what's with the pretense?" I don't understand". Her eyes began to water and one by one the tears came down like a cascading river from her eyes. She l
