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

    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".

    Ethan's POVWhat was she doing here?No, the real question was what was I doing here? Just because I was unsure of how the woman I've loved for the majority of my life felt about me, I left my home and came to a bar and the worst part was I met Rachel's worst enemy, who was trying to act coy with me. So then why did I agree to stay?I could have just brushed her off and left, but instead, I remembered Rachel's plan of making Lana chase me and decided to stay. But now I was regretting it. She had been talking nonstop, and all I could do was nod. " Em... By the way, we've met before". She said and internally scoffed. Of course, I knew we had met before. Did she think I had lost my memory or something? Well If that's what she thought, why not just play along? "Really? Where?" I asked innocently. "Yes, we, we went to the same high school together, me, you, Rachel, and Marina." She answered eagerly "We did?" I asked sarcastically but she couldn't possibly notice since it sounded so

    Rachel's POVFew hours ago"Oh Rachel, what did you just do?" I cried out to myself gently slapping my face several times. This was not what I wanted. Ok, it was what I wanted, but not like this. I was just too sad and mad and... Ethan was just there, and he looked at me so lovingly and his lips were right next to mine and...Aish...I'm not suppose to be thinking of that now!I brushed my hair away from my face groaning softly. "What does Ethan think of me now?"He would think that I was just pushing myself to him because he was rich and handsome. Like I would think the same thing!"Rachel why did you do that?" I cried again hitting my head on my hands. Thankfully Ethan didn't follow me to the music room, if he did I would have no fucking clue how to face him. Just when things were getting better between us. I picked up the cup of tea which I had dropped on a table when I first came into the room and drank from it. "It's cold."It had turned cold and was no longer drinkable. I

    Rachel's POVI blinked in surprise. " You can do that?" I asked and she nodded. " Sir Ethan linked his GPS with some of his trusted staff so in case of anything happening, we would always know where to find him". I nodded slowly. That sounded possible. Ethan was already announced as the CEO of the E & R group of companies; he was literally the top target for extortioners, and a lot of people would want to harm him just because of his status. It was a smart thing for him to do that, especially to Mark and John. But why did he give Victoria though? She wouldn't be able to help him if he really ran into trouble. Whatever, if that was going to help me find Ethan, who was I to ask why? " Victoria please help me check". I told her.Victoria brought out her phone from her pocket and did something on it, then she brought it closer to her face, hiding it away from me or something...'

    Rachel's POVTears fell from my eyes as I fell to the floor holding my hands close to my chest.I felt like an invisible hand was squeezing my heart and making it impossible for me to breathe. How can Ethan do that to me?Why was it hurting even more than when I caught David with Lana? Ethan was not linked to me in any way; he was just helping me... But by the looks of it, it doesn't seem like he was trying to help at all; if he was, why was he with another woman, not just any woman... The person I hated the most in my life. Picturing Ethan with another woman was disgusting and painful, but I never pictured him with Lana. What about the woman he was in love with? Did he leave me alone just to meet Lana in a bar?The more I about it, the more difficult I found it to breathe. I tried to press my lips together, trying to stop my sobbing, but it just wasn't working. "Rachel?" I heard someone call my name unsurely, and I buried my face deeper in my legs. Could it be Ethan?

    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

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.

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.

    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.

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?
