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 know it looked bad, for fuck sake if I even had a clue that she would come there, I wouldn't have drank with Lana. Just a bottle of whiskey, one fucking bottle! 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. I normal occasions, I would be jubilating that Rachel was worried about me, but why did it have to be yesterday!After I explained to Aunt Victoria what really happened, she felt guilty about informing Rachel my location, but what can I
Rachel's POVI stared at the Andrews mansion from the back seat of the taxi I was in with a wry smile on my face. The time I was here almost six years ago, I had swore to expose Lana and get my revenge on every member of this family that wronged me. But here I was about to admit defeat. Immediately I told Marina that I was going back to David, she began to throw a fit. She disagreed completely, giving me dozens of reasons why I shouldn't do... Why I shouldn't even think about itHer funniest and the most meaningful was her question, why could I just leave a single rich actress life and be happy.Why was I always chasing after men, readily falling in love with them?I had no answer to that, I knew I was making the right choice choosing to go back to David. Martha made it clear that I had only two options, to get back together with David or to convince Ethan to allow his company to form a business alliance with theirs.Since Lana and Ethan were together, Lana was in the best possible
Rachel's POV "Rachael... I'm so glad to see you." David said with a smile after I brought him out to the little garden behind the house. He was about to pull me in for a hug when I raised my hand to stop him."What the hell are you doing?" I asked in a cold voice pushing him away from me. David's face twisted in embarrassment as he let go of me. "I only wanted to hug my wife." He said in a beaten-up voice. His wife...His fucking wife?!" Ex wife". I corrected him with a smile. And David smiled back shaking his head. Why was he smiling? He ought to be angry at words. " I meant, soon to be wife". He added and my smile froze. He was really certain that I was going to be his wife. ' Well you're here about to agree to the damn thing so, I think he had all the rights to be certain'I had called Martha up before coming here. I has told her to invite David and tell him that I had agreed to his absurd request. And thankfully for Lana they arrived at the right time because I wa starting
Olivia's POV"Damn," I exclaimed as I stepped down from the plane, which I rode first class, of course. I was back to New York City for one purpose and one purpose only, reclaim my man. Rachel had been with Ethan for way too long, and it was high time I came out to her. Hannah had been updating me on things between them, and just yesterday, she told me that Ethan told her that they were having a huge misunderstanding. This was the right time to take Ethan back and I was going to do just that. I got on the fastest flight I could catch and here I was, about to meet the love of my life. " Ms are you Olivia Sangria?" A taxi stopped beside me and asked. I raised a hand to my face, pulling down the sunglasses I wore, " Who's asking? " I inquired with a bright smile on my face. He didn't see my face clearly, that was why he was still asking if I was me. The sunglasses must have really been hiding my face because I was famous. Almost everyone in the continent knew who I was, even most p
Olivia's POVWalking towards the front desk lady, I flashed her a smile leaning on her desk and pulling down my shades to the bridge of my nose. "Which way to Ethan's office?" I asked the smile not once leaving my face, if they thought I was nice and friendly, this would be much easier.This was the first time coming to Ethan's company, and sincerely I was shocked by its magnificent size. It was the biggest in the whole city so I was expecting it to be huge but it was way larger than my expectations, but I couldn't just gape at it like a country bumpkin. I would be coming here more often very soon if, o meant when my plan works." Ms do you have an appointment with him?" The front desk lady asked with a professional smile on her face that didn't waver even after I pulled down my glasses. Could it be that everyone in this country has forgotten who I was just because I was gone for a few months?I blinked in surprise taken aback, before letting out a slow breath to calm my nerves, co
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
