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 POV I blinked multiple times to ensure I heard what Raine said correctly. So he liked Hannah which was Ethan's sister? That made way more sense the the nonsense I had come up with in my head about him liking Ethan, but why did he bring the man up? " If you like Hannah why were you asking about Ethan?" Raine huffed shutting his eyes before opening then back again. " I didn't think the guy likes me very much". Really? My brows perked up in interest. I glanced at Marina who was leaning forward so she could hear Raine properly over the noise the wind and the helicopter was making. Oh, talk about noise. I brought out my phone and tuned down the volume of the music from the headset, Raine was doing a better job at keeping my mind of the height and flight anyways. " What happened? Tell us everything". I said and before I knew it, Marina flew from her seat and sat right beside Raine so she could hear him well enough. I shook my head at her. "Gossip monger " I muttered,
Rachel's POV As soon as the copter landed Marina, Raine and I rushed back to where we last saw Lana. We passed Olivia who was looking at us, well mainly me with a shocked expression. Yeah bitch... I freaking rode in a helicopter, is that so surprising? I would have rolled my eyes at her if I wasn't in such a hurry to see what happened to Lana. "Maybe she fainted because her plan to see you... Actually to not see you here didn't work". Marina said with a laugh as we got closer. By now there was already a crowd consisting mainly of her assistants and Olivia assistants gathered around her, trying to fan her back to life. " It's possible". I nodded joining her in laughter. I felt Raine's weird gaze on me so I turned to face him. "What is it?" I asked coming to a stop, then he stopped as well. "Why are you and Lana always at each other's throats?" Then he turned to Marina who had also stopped walking " and why are you always on Rachel's side?" " Me? " Marina pointed at herself a
Olivia POV"Hold up Raine, " I shouted at Raine as I ran after him. I stopped catching my breath when I finally go to him, damn men and their long legs. I was heading back to Lana when she suddenly fainted and I kept my distance. Why did she just black put? I asked myself that was until I saw the helicopter Rachel was on pass by to land. That must be the reason. Lana had a deeper hatred for Rachel, so it was no surprise that she fainted when she saw our plan didn't work. But why didn't the plan work?My eyes went towards Raine and Marina who were walking beside Rachel as they walked towards Lana. Why was Raine with them?I had noticed that the guy had been acting too nice to Rachel since she arrived, even giving her his head phones back at the plane. Could it be that he like that mediocre actress?No... I shook my head against the idea. Raine liked Hannah, even though he thought he was discrete in his feelings I could see it and I was down with it. But ever since Rachel came to
Few weeks laterRachel's POV" And that's a wrap". The director announced as I got off the stage. Today was my last day acting the film, the part where Agnes is mistaken as Mara and is killed my Joyce's hired killer. So far everything was going great, just that the director just decided to change how I died. "Director George, please wait up". I called after him jogging quickly to catch up with him. "Yes, how can I help you Ms Andrew?" He asked turning back to face me, his one hand on his glasses lowering them down so he could view my face. " Sir, the thing is, Marina just informed me of the change in the script, the part where Agnes dies...""Yes? What about it?" He interrupted impatiently. His tone and demeanor showed that he was in a hurry, but yet I just had to ask." The script now says Agnes dies by a stray gun shot while Mara escapes ". " Ok? "Was this man not getting my point?" The gunshot? The bullet! " I shouted tired of sugarcoating the entire thing. Marina just info
Rachel's POVHis pout disappeared, and his lips pulled up in a bright smile. I blinked in surprise. This kid was indeed an actor. Why did I even fall for it again? He did the same thing at the welcoming party when he said he was looking for his mum. Darn. I shook my head as I followed him out of the room and down to the back of the place we were shooting. It was an outdoor garden with just a few plants, nothing even close to Ethan's beautiful paradise, but still had refreshing air. " Now what do you want to talk to me about? And make it fast". I asked taking a seat on the only bench in the middle of the place. Jake walked up to me and crossed his little hands standing in front of me. " Do you like my uncle? " He suddenly asked and I let out a surprised cough. Was he talking about Ethan?" Why...why would you ask that? " I asked still recovering from my cough. " My mum told me that you are my uncle's girlfriend, and I just want to be clear:r do you like him or not?"I blinked sur
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
