After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO Chapter 72 One last chance
Rachel's POV"Mother?" I called in surprise as I stared at the woman who once loved and cared for me as her daughter, that was until her real daughter appeared. Her eyes were red and puffy like someone who had cried, they also had bags under them, and her face, it had more wrinkles than I remember it. I'm just six months of being away from her she now looked ten years older. "Rachel". She called out when stopping feet away from me. Her lips were trembling while her hands clutched her purse tightly. I couldn't control my body and I ran to hug her, wrapping her in a warm embrace. She had hurt me so much by agreeing to Lana's wishes, but I still loved her. She had been my mother for over twenty years after all. " Oh Mia". She cried finally releasing her hands from her purse and wrapping it around me. "I'm so sorry. "I pulled away from her shaking my head. " What are you sorry for? It wasn't you who pulled the trigger". She nodded while sniffling. " I know, but I pushed you away. Y

Rachel's POVI blinked removing my hands from hers. David came to see her.Why would David come to see her? And if he did why was she telling me about it?Could it be about Lana again?" If this is about Lana..." I began, but she shook her head, stopping me. " It's not about Lana, it's about you. David wants you back in his life". I paused in shock, before suddenly bursting into laughter. David wants me back?That was the funniest thing I've ever heard." What's so funny? " Mother asked her brows furrowed in confusion and a hint of anger. " This is what you just said. "I answered still laughing. " That bastard wants me back? Why? After he humiliated me by sleeping with Lana and after I caught him, he threw a divorce paper on my face and now he wants me back? Don't you find it funny too? "I asked hilariously. My mother glared at me, her face serious. " That's not what happened Rachel. Stop making stories up. Despite everything you've done to that man, he still wants you back". She s

Ethan's POVI stared at the floor-to-length window in my study, with my hands shoved in the pocket of the hoodie I was putting on, watching the sky as it poured down to the ground in worry. Rachel should be back by now, and the rain was not making things better.It was pouring outside, with the loud sound of the rain hitting the ceiling filling the air and all I could think about was where in god's name Rachel was right now. "I shouldn't have agreed to let her go with her mother." I thought out loud, my eyes still glued to the window. The only reason I agreed was that Rachel was smiling; she was so happy to see her mother come to visit her that I couldn't just refuse that woman from taking her daughter to talk. Plus, she wouldn't do anything to Rachel, right? She was her daughter, though not biologically but for most of her years. She couldn't harm her, right?The anticipation was killing me, and the heavy rain wasn't helping matters. Okay, that's it. I can't take this any longer
After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO Chapter 75 Crossing boundaries
Rachel's POV"What happened?" He asked me again after taking me up to my room. What was I to say? That my mother was a scheming bitch just like her daughter? Or that my family no longer wanted anything to do with me apart from what I could offer to them?After hearing everything my mother had to say as saying what I could back at her, I left the place. Tears fell down my eyes as I thought of everything. She only wanted me, so I could get back together with David for the family not to lose their only ally in business. Or the other option she gave me, that one was even more stupider than the last, for me to ask Ethan to do business with Andrew Corporation. Why on earth would I do that?There was a reason Andrew Corporation was falling, and that was because their business partners discovered that the company normally does illegal activities. He had to pay alot of people a lot of money to keep his secret, that was the reason he had so much debt on his hands and the company began faili

Ethan's POVRachel kissed me. My eyes rounded in shock when her soft lips pressed on mine. It felt... Before I could even tell how it felt, she pulled away, taking a step back from me. I could see her mouth moving nervously but I couldn't hear anything she was saying. One minute, her eyes were filled with tears, and she was crying; the other minute, she pressed her lips on mine and then pulled away. She took another step back and began saying something else, but again I couldn't hear her. I only wanted to have a taste of those lips again, so I took a few steps forward, grabbed her hands, and pulled her towards myself, claiming her lips again. At first, she neither responded nor rejected it; she just stood there, then slowly, she began responding to the kiss, drawing lines on my chest before bringing her hands behind my neck. This was...There were no words to describe it. The love of my life, the only woman I have ever loved was responding to my advances. But then again, befor
After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO Chapter 77 Beg for forgiveness
Ethan's POVI smirked, looking at the said Leo, who faced me. " Look here, kid, I'll let you go if you'll kneel now in front of me and beg for forgiveness," Leo said with a smug look on his face sitting back down on his chair and crossing his legs. " Beg for forgiveness? " I scoffed. I've never done that in my life. " Do what he says kid, if you want to live". The same man that had been on Leo's side said with a scoff. " He is even showing you mercy and giving you a chance to earn his forgiveness. Sir Leo is just too kind and nice". I scoffed again, brushing my hair which had grown longer backward. I haven't had time to cut it for the past few weeks because of everything that had happened to Rachel. " Won't you do as he says!" The man shouted. I shook my head. Tsk tsk, the guy was literally inviting trouble for himself by himself. I leaned back on my chair crossing my legs too. " You should apologize to the woman". I gestured to the woman who was shaking beside him. " And jus

Lana's POVHours ago I just heard from my spy in the hospital that Lana was getting discharged today. That bitch was going home after spending a few weeks in the best hospital in the city. It was as if all my plans were just meant to fail. After shouting at the top of my lungs for almost ten minutes, I began to feel dizzy and faint. I thought it was going to stop after a few hours, but it didn't, so I went to the hospital for a test and was just coming back. Rachel just clouded my thoughts I had to do something fast if I was going to make Rachel regret everything. I thought and was still thinking of what to do when my phone rang. It was my grandfather. That old man rarely called, and when I did he only spoke a few words. He was cold and rigid, but compared to the way he treated Rachel, I was a princess. "Hello, Grandpa?" I answered the phone in a sweet voice. He never allowed Rachel to call him grandpa, ever. Rachel always complained about how unfair it was but he allowed me e

Lana's POVAfter watching the entire scene unfold from Leo's bragging to the way Ethan's bodyguard beat all Leo's men to a pulp I made a decision. I called for a waiter and whispered something in his ear and he left immediately. Ethan Wright... He was was so formidable, and for the looks of it he was more than he was letting on. Because if not how would just one man beat up all Leo's guards and get still be very respectful towards Ethan?Something told me that he had something other than money, that he had unfathomable strength and power and I was more than determined to have him now. After Ethan made Leo apologize to that nobody of a stripper I stood up ready to take my chance. He was leaving anytime soon and I couldn't just let him leave without first trying my luck. "This have been fun, next time you'll think we'll before attacking just anyone". I heard him say picking up his things. He was about to leave. This is it. I stood up from my chair and walked towards him. "Hey".

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
After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO Chapter 136 You're free
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
After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO Chapter 135 Terminated contract
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
