Ethan's POV

What 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, you said you were not going to complain, ' My inner conscience reminded me, and I let out a frus

    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? Maybe he f

    Rachel's POVAfter crying in Kyle's hands for what seemed like hours I pulled away cleaning my tears with the back of my hands. "I must look like a mess right now."I joked with a soft giggle. I had been crying for a long time, my eyes felt tired and heavy...They must be so puffy right now. And my hair, I must really look like a mess. Kyle stared at me seriously shaking his head. "You still look as beautiful as ever." He said seriously and I felt the change of atmosphere. I playfully hit his hand allowing myself the leisure of laughing."This is not funny." I said with a smile. "I wasn't laughing." Kyle replied his voice as serious as ever. My smile stiffened and I looked away. If only I could reciprocate his feelings. He had always looked at me like that since highschool, but my heart was with David then, and now it was with Ethan... Even though the guy has just practically threw it to the floor and stamped on it. I just poured my heart to a man I hadn't seen in over a year a

    Rachel's POV " What did you say?" Marina shouted, her eyes almost popping out of her head and she stared at me in astonishment. After I left Ethan's house, it was then I realized that I had no place to go. Then I remembered that I had Marina's address so I came here, and luckily she was at home. Now we were both in Marina's room and I had just finished explaining what happened last night to her and she was enraged, confused and shocked. " How can that be? I've seen the way he acts around Lana he can't be in a relationship with her. Ethan can't cheat in you with her! " She yelled shaking her head while pacing around the room." It's not even supposed to be called cheating ". I murmured to myself hugging a pillow tightly. " What? " She asked stopping her pacing and looking at me. I couldn't say nothing, because I was sure she heard me say something so I repeated it. " It's not even supposed to he called cheating". I said out loud. Marina was taken back, and she took a step back

    Rachel's POVI thought sleeping was going to be impossible after everything that happened yesterday, but I fell asleep the moment my back touched the bed. I guess crying for a long period of time had its benefits, as well as its curses because right now, I am having a migraine headache." Argh..." I groaned sitting up on the bed while holding my head which felt like it was pounding. I knew crying for hours was going to have it's effect, but I didn't think it would be this bad... I could hardly open my eyes because of how much my head hurt. " Hey, you don't have to get up. Actually you shouldn't get up... You just got out of the hospital and now..." Marina complained coming in was a cup with steam coming out of it."Is it tea?" I groaned peeping into the cup. Marina rolled her eyes setting the cup down on the bedside table. " What else would it be? Do you expect me to bring coffee? " She asked sarcastically and I no pouted.I was sick, both emotionally and physically but yet she wa

    Rachel's POV" But she has always been the one who confronted him whenever I or you bullied him, he must have developed some kind of feelings for her, and when he saw that I was trying to get revenge on her, he tried to help her. Maybe he has been in love with Lana from day one. Maybe... "" Okay, Rachel, stop it. Just stop it!" Marina yelled standing up from the bed and glaring at me. "I don't know what's going on in your head, but I can tell it's crazy shit. You can't think that bad of Ethan just because you caught him with Lana... They might have just coincidentally met in the bar. "" Coincidence? " I said with a scoff. " How can he just coincidentally meet with Lana in a bar and choose to get drunk with her, to the point that he couldn't even stand? And to make it worse he did it the night we first kissed! " I yelled the last word slipping out of my lips. Shit, I just told Lana that I kissed Ethan. ' She told you her kiss with Mark, so it's nothing ' my inner subconscious whisp

    Ethan's POVNo, this was all wrong. She was getting everything wrong and the worst part was that Rachel wasn't giving me a chance to explain.

I didn't even finish it, and I was that drunk. No, that Lana must have done something.I waited outside the entire night, hoping Rachel would come back anytime soon so I could explain myself, but she didn't show up. Aunt Victoria met me where I was waiting for her and asked me what happened. She explained to me that she was the one who told Rachel I was in a bar and even told her the name of the bar when she saw that she was worried about safety.

    Rachel's POV"Hi guys." I greeted as soon as I sighed Joyce and Marina seated in the living room. They were both discussing something and looked up to me as I came down from the stairs. "Rachel..."I frowned at Joyce's nervous voice. Why was she nervous? I wondered and my curiosity deepen even more when I noticed Marina nudge Joyce in the stomach. " What's going on here? " I asked raising my brows at them while giving them a skeptical look. "What... What do you mean?" Joyce scratched the back of her neck letting out a little laugh before shaking her head. " N... Nothing". Marina face palmed herself looking embarrassed at Joyce acting skills. It was terrible. Marina was a movie director so she knew when a person was a bad liar, but it didn't take that much to notice. " Seriously guys what is it?" I sat down beside them, my eyes darting the both of them. For a split second my mind went back to whatever could have happened yesterday with me and Ethan that I didn't remember.Coul

    Rachel's POVI blinked multiple times to adjust my eyes light in the room before opening them back again. It was so bright. Why was it so bright? I groaned turning around on the bed. "Fuck". I exclaimed as I sat up, holding my head with both hands. "Ouch... Why do my head hurt so much" I felt like it was being pounded upon and gosh that hurt. What happened anyways? I wondered wincing as I opened my eyes again to look around. I was in my room, in Ethan's house. But how did I even get here?The last thing I remembered was that I was in this room, seating on the bed when I suddenly felt thirsty so I got up and left. I went to the kitchen, drank a bottle of water, and was about coming back to this room, when... When I met Ethan. I blinked as the rest of what happened last night came back to me bit by bit. He was seated by the counter with a bottle of alcohol, and I went to seat by him... And I drank!From there every thing else was fuzzy and blurry. " Rachel you drank". I repeated

    Ethan's POVI stayed in my study for the rest of the evening meditating on everything that had happened today at the office. Rachel was the lost daughter of the Nielsons. She was Emerald Nielson, and her parents wanted her back.The information was just so surprising. What baffled me now was, how did Emerald, or Rachel end up in the hands of the Andrews?From what I knew, the Nielson were in Europe when their daughter went missing, while the Andrews were a family established in the states. " I need a drink ". I sighed standing up from seat and walking towards my mini bar.My eyes instantly surveyed the numerous amount of bottles there but couldn't find any bottle of bourbon. What?I had made sure to always stock up, and I don't drink often. But this past few weeks had been terrible. I couldn't sleep until I had at least a few glasses to take my mind of things. "I don't even know if I'm drinking to celebrate Rachel finding her parents or to get rid of all these questions revolvin

  • After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO   Chapter 143 She was Emerald Nielson

    Ethan's POV" Mr and Mrs Nielson are here to see you ". Mark announced as we walked through the halls to my office. They are here?My brows furrowed together in confusion. 'This could probably be related to Rachel '. I thought. Two days ago the woman met me in my office and offered to help, and just yesterday she interfered in Rachel's case and got her freed. But the question was why?" Do you think it's about the help Lenora rendered to Rachel yesterday?" Mark asked the exact question in my mind and I looked up at him. "Probably". I shugged as we proceeded. Mark read out the some of what I had to do today and I listened keenly. This last few weeks I had been so behind on work, that it was starting to have an effect on the company. "Also, I've gotten all the CCTV cameras footage in Lana's house checked and even all the cameras within a one mile radius ". I stood walking, just few metres from my office. " What then? " So far, Lana's death was one issue that got me on edge.

    Rachel's POVI froze as I stared at the older woman. Ethan? In love with me?" How can you lie so freely?" I asked after a while. Why can't I believe it? Why can't I just tell myself it's the truth and actually believe it?Maybe it was because I had seen what really was real, and I couldn't even allow myself to pretend anymore. "Lie? " Victoria looked shocked as she stood up from the bed. " Why do you think it's a lie huh?" She argued. "Isn't it not? " I retorted before releasing a sigh "Ethan can't be in love with me. He probably doesn't even like me that much ". I felt my heart sink into my stomach as soon as those words left my mouth. Why was I feeling disappointed with my own words? They were the truth. The sooner I began telling myself the truth, the better it would be for both me and... Well me. I'm the only one suffering anyway. Victoria shook her head and looked down at me with pity. " You really are a fool, Rachel, since you can't see what's right in front of you. "

    Rachel's POVI had been avoiding Ethan all morning since we came back from the hospital. What was I to say to him?The man was strange, really strange. If Lana was the love of his life, why was he still acting all nice and sweet and kind to me? Was he bipolar?If it turned out he was, that would explain a lot of things. I threw down the book I was reading with a sigh. Just to reduce the probability of bumping into Ethan, I had cooped myself up in my room since morning, and right now, I was so bored that even reading wasn't helping. Guess getting out of the hospital and jail wasn't too good. At least in the hospital, I had Joyce and, lately, Marina to talk to.The way Lenora just came in and me magically being released... It all remained a mystery to me."For fuck sake Rachel, stop thinking about that now. You're out and that's it."But wasn't there a catch?There had to be a catch, or at least something someone was not telling me. How could I just magically get released from jai

    Lenora's POV I rushed down into into my mansion, where Simon, Owen and Raine where seated in the living room, probably waiting for me. " I've found her, I finally found her ". I nodded my head, a huge smile plastered on my face as I sang." I've actually found her ". " Found who? " " What's going on mum? " Owen and Raine asked at the same time. I just couldn't help myself from grinning as I danced around happily. Today was officially the happiest day of my life. " Len, what's going on? " Simon asked walking up to me as he held my hands. " And why are you crying? " Tears? I blinked, realizing that tears had begun to flow from my eyes again. " This... This are tears of joy Simon, joy ". I answered, enjoying the suspense in the room. " Could you tell us so we can be part of this joy? " Owen remarked sarcastically while standing up from his chair. " Some of us had to take a quick two hours flight down here in a jet just because you mentioned that it was really urgent ".

    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

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.
