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

    Ethan's POVI walked stealthily back to my office after the long early morning meeting I had with all of my executives. There was a problem that just had to be fixed immediately, but throughout the meeting my mind just kept going back to Rachel who could possibly have feelings for meThat could possibly be true... Maybe she was just jealous after seeing me with Lana in that stupid position. Thinking of Lana..." Mark..." I turned my neck to the side to see my personal assistant who was walking tight beside me. " Yes boss?""What about what I asked you to get for me?" I asked unlocking my office door and pushing it open. " It's on your desk, I... " Mark paused in his words and I stared, no glared in surprise at the person I saw in my office, Olivia. She immediately shut my laptop and removed something before turning towards me with a huge smile on her face. "Ethan...""What are you doing here?" I interrupted walking towards my desk. "I was the country and I thought to come see yo

    Ethan's POV" I did a little more finding and John told me something else too..." Mark paused to look at me and I nodded giving him a go ahead sign. "John said that yesterday when he followed Rachel and her mother, and he overheard Martha telling Rachel that her scum bag of an ex-husband wanted her back and if he didn't get her he was going to cut of the alliance between the both companies ". My body tensed up and my hands under the table gripped it so tightly. They were trying to take Rachel away from me! And not just anyone but David? He just suddenly wants her back after finding out she had moved on from him?That must be the reason why Rachel came back so down yesterday, and yet I just had to add to her stress by staying in that bar with Lana. "Not only that, John said that her mother gave her another option, to convince you to do business with them". He added and I grimaced. They even added me to their family problems. That family was truly despicable.But one question sti

  • After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO   Chapter 95 Watching Rachel suffer

    Lana's POV I had no idea what happened and I badly needed to know. Did Rachel break up with Ethan after seeing us together? If she did that would just be absolutely fantastic. I would finally have a chance with that handsome rich gentleman... And to think I had known him in highschool.Rachel really played Ethan, toying with his memory loss and using it against him, but the jokes on her because now I was going to make sure that Ethan remembers every damn thing. Or could it be that Ethan broke up with her after finding out that what I said was true?Dargh... Curiosity was killing me that I hardly slept a wink last night after returning home from the bar, I was almost even kicked out of the bar. The damn owner, that Kyle found out that I was in the bar and had his boxers throw me out, I had to quickly leave before getting even more embarrassed by him. The guy had always liked Rachel and had been following hee about right from highschool, but she has only David in her eyes at that t

    Lana's POVMy mother raised a brow at me looking at me with suspicious eyes. " It's not like that". I struggled to say after a few seconds. I could easily admit it to Rachel because I enjoyed seeing her suffer, but Martha was a different case. If what Rachel said about father's company failing and needing Ethan's help, she would ask me to do something I couldn't do... At least no now. " You're with Ethan?" She finally asked and I shook my head. "That's not how it is, you see mum...""I'm so happy for you". Her face just suddenly broke into a huge smile and I paused staring at her incredulously. What was this?" Your grandpa's company is going down rapidly, if you're really with Ethan then that's good news. You can ask Ethan to... "No, she was getting it all wrong. " I'm not with Ethan". I blurted out, unable to take her list of what Ethan could assist this family with."What?" Her smile turned upside down almost immediately. I sighed leaning in to the chair.Rachel that bitch

    Lana's POV"What the hell Lana why did you have to do that?" David asked fuming. " We didn't break up, I dumped you, why did you have to make it sound like it was a mutual agreement so you can go whore yourself out to Ethan?"I gasped holding my hands on my chest. Did he just say that to me?After everything we had been through together, just one day with Rachel and he now calls me a whore?"How dare you talk to my daughter in that manner". My mum stood up from the sofa and defended. She glared at David who rolled his eyes at her."I was not talking to you woman so you better mind what you say if not the entire alliance would be over ". He threatened and Martha scoffed. Why was she scoffing? I looked towards her.David didn't look like he was joking and I thought she was doing all of these so the alliance between Hart industries and Andrew Corporation wouldn't end... So why was she scoffing?"My daughter here..." She held my shoulder looking and my gaze on her turned even more suspi

    Rachel's POV...Few hours ago... " What... What is this?" David roared flinging the paper in his hands. I let out a smile. " Husband dearest, that's our marriage contract". I said blinking my eyes innocently at him. " Wait, you didn't think I would just come back to you, or did you? ". I asked while laughing at him mockingly. The shock and annoyance on his face was just too hilarious. David scoffed, rereading the contract again. " We would get married, but it would only be on paper? " He read out loud and asked. I nodded. " That wouldn't be hard for you, as we were married for over three years and you never touched me once ". I remarked sarcastically. David immediately shook his head." That time was different, I'm a change person now Rachel, really ". He pleaded and I couldn't help but laugh.That time was indeed different, he had Lana to keep him company and warm his bed for him, unlike now... I included a clause in the contract that if he was found cheating on me in any way

    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

  • After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO   Chapter 144 You're the one I love

    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.

  • After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO   Chapter 142 Silent love

    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. "

  • After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO   Chapter 141 Ethan was in the military

    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

    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.
