Rachel's POVHe noticed? I turned to face him. "You know it was her?" I asked in surprise. He nodded rolling his eyes. "It was obvious. Thank goodness I wasn't in any of the scenes that required you guys to travel all the way to Florida in a helicopter in the MIDDLE IN THE NIGHT". He air-coated the middle of the night, emphasizing that. An amused smile appeared on my lips. "How do you know it was her? ""I overheard her telling my mother about you having a fear of flights and heights and how she plans to punish you for something; again, I ask, is this all because of my uncle? " He asked with his hands and I shrugged. "I don't know either. That bitch... Mind my language has been all over me since after the Charity ball, something you're not old enough for me to be telling you about..." I trailed off giving him a small smile. For a second there, I had forgotten that Jake was a kid, not just anyone's kid, the best friend of one of my top enemies right now, kid. He was such a good
Rachel's POVSlowly, I felt my feet giving away, and I fell on the floor with a sharp thud. That... That was real blood. " Wow... You, this bitch of a friend, could take a bullet for you; now it's your turn ". Lana, well Joyce continued ignoring my real bullet wound! The director must probably think it was fake blood since I had some on me and it was meant to spill at this particular moment. But Lana had missed the small bag of fake blood hidden in my clothes and actually shot me, for real! I wanted to shout that I was hurt but then I remembered what Jake had said to me yesterday. No matter what happens, the show must go on.It was as if he knew something was going to go wrong, and a part of me did too, but I didn't expect to actually have a hole in me right now. The sound of the police sirens brought me out of my thoughts. Fine, the show must go on. "Ahhh..." I yelled leaning my head back in pain. "Darn this..." Joyce yelled darting her eyes around as the sound of the police
Ethan's POV" What the hell did you just say?" I shouted at Mark who was hugging his phone close to him. "Ethan, calmed down". He said, his voice shaking, and I scoffed. Calm down, calm down?How did he expect me to calm down?He just told me that Marina just called him to tell me that Rachel is in a God damn hospital! " Which hospital?" I asked picking up my keys from my desk. "Ethan, we can't travel all the way back there because...""Because of what? Rachel is at the hospital for god knows what, and you said I can't go there. Why?" I yelled walking closer to him. Mark sighed freeing his hands. " You just got announced a few weeks ago as the CEO of E & R Enterprises; you have a lot of work and ..." I sent him a sharp glare, and he clasped his mouth shut." We're leaving now, get the private jet ready. " I ordered, and Mark nodded, turning around and walking out of the office. "Wait..." I called and paused, turning around. " Find out more about the cause of her accident from Mar
Ethan's POVLana's eyes widened in surprise when I asked that. She really was not expecting that. But seriously what was she expecting? That I would run to hug or something?She should be glad that we were not in a secluded area if not I would have murdered her myself right now. "It's... It's me." She said incoherently pointing at herself. Marina snorted, and winked at me seeming to understand what I was playing at. Yeah, don't you know her? She's the one that just tried to kill your girlfriend."My stare turned to a glare and I followed along with what Marina was doing. "She did what? So she's the lady who shot my girlfriend with a 'prop'' gun and the reason she's in coma right now." I said emphasizing the prop. No seriously did she think we were children? How could she lie that she didn't know the gun was real?"No... That's not, that's not me". Lana denied taking a few step back " I said I didn't know the gun was real, if anyone is at fault it's the set managers." She shouted.
Rachel's POV" Ouch ..." I groaned opening my eyes and quickly shutting it back again because of the light. "Why is it so damn bright?" I complained opening my eyes again but this time alot more slowly. I was in a bright white room, at least the ceiling and the floors were white. There were three couches a mini fridge and a... Television set?Where was I?I stood up groaning as my back hit the bed rest. I was on a queen sized bed, kind of like the one I had back in Ethan's house. The room was well furnished with a desk and a chair by the side of the bed a wardrobe by the far corner and a door which I guess would lead to the bathroom. No seriously, where was I?Last thing I remembered I was on set, and the director shouted cut and... Then Jake came back and told everyone that I was shot, and that was it. From there everything else was a blur, I went unconscious.Did I die? Was this heaven? I looked around the room again unsure. Even if I did die, heaven was a far stretch for me. I
Rachel's POV" I really thought I lost you". Ethan said seriously looking straight into my eyes which made my heart skip a beat. Did he really miss me that much?When Marina said it, it felt like it was normal, she ought to say that she was my best friend, but hearing it from Ethan felt different. " Ahem..." I coughed trying to dismiss the awkwardness in the room while taking my eyes of Ethan. " How can you lose it, it was just a little bullet". " A little bullet?" He snickered. " That little bullet could have killed you, and why the hell didn't you say anything immediately you got shot?" He asked his voice getting higher. Was he mad?Why was he mad? He wasn't the person that got shot. If anyone had a right to be angry, that person was me. " And risk shooting the entire scene over again after I'm better? Hell no, it was best to do it once and for all, the show must go on"" And risk you dying? I rather the entire film be halted". He said and my eyes widened in shock. He can do
Rachel's POVI don't know why, but my heart always skipped whenever Ethan called me his girlfriend and it did the same when he said it to the middle aged looking lady he called Mrs Nielson. From how friendly his tone was towards her, I could tell they knew each other. "Nice to meet you Mrs Nielson". I said bringing my hand forward for a shake. The woman smiled shaking my hand. " No need for the formalities, you can call me Lorena". Then she walked towards me slowly dragging me away from Ethan's side and back to the bed. " You shouldn't be up by now, don't you want your wound to heal? " She asked slowly sitting me down on the bed. " I'm back! " Marina suddenly barged in with a takeout bag in her hand and a huge smile on her face. Ethan immediately sent a glare at Mark who was standing beside her and he raised his hands in surrender. " I tried to stop her but she insisted". He said and I giggled softly placing my hands over my mouth to hide my laughter when Ethan directed his glare a
Lana's POVI glared at the two huge muscular men wearing tight suits with earpiece sticking out of their ears standing just right beside Rachel's hospital room.They were freaking bodyguards! Just a little gun wound and now there were bodyguard in front of a fucking door, and the worst part was these bastards had refused to let me in!!! " Do you know who I am?" I threatened swinging my arms in the air. I have been standing here for almost ten minutes now but they were acting like I was invisible, and any time I tried to even move a feet closer to the door, both of them hold put their hand to me and push me away. If it wasn't fot the fact that I could slightly see their chest moving up and down, I would have thought they were robots. I came all the way from London, England just because I wanted to see how she was doing after I shot her. I freaking shot her.I let out a sigh remembering how I switched the prop gun with a real one few minutes before the scene. She was supposed to be
Rachel's POV No 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
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
