All Chapters of After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Rachel's POVI heard the loud muffling and shuffling of objects waking me up from my sleep. Then followed by the shifting of the large curtains which made way for light to enter into the room. Someone was arranging the room, a young maid. How did I get here? I shook my head refusing to allow the memories of what happened yesterday come back to me fully to taunt me. I have a whole day to be taunted by them, but most definitely not now. I pulled the bedsheet over my head, blocking the soft sounds and the light so I could sleep longer. " Ms Rachel, are you awake?" I heard the maid who was arranging the room ask as she walked towards me. I was about to answer when I felt the pang of an headache. I winced in pain under the sheets. "Ms Rachel... Ms Rachel..." The maid continued to call.I had clench my teeth to withstand the pain. "Yes". I replied but it came out more of a whisper. Something was wrong with my throat. It felt rather dry and hoarse. I coughed to clear my throat. "Ye

Rachel's POV Then the next thing I heard was the clacking of her heels which began to disappear. Few seconds later, I was sure she had left the room leaving me and Ethan... Alone. This conversation would be unavoidable. It would be the least I could do after all the help he had rendered me starting from two nights ago when I met him. I removed the blanket from my face, staring directly at him."It was my grandfather... I tried to hit..well scratch Lana but he stopped me, and then slapped me". "Why was Lana there, I thought it was your family meeting?" Ethan asked. I snorted. "Apparently, Lana's family. Much more that me". Ethan had a confused look on his face, almost how I looked when I found out. " Lana is parents real daughter. I was just their substitute, they found out a few days ago". "I'm sorry". Ethan said and I smiled. I was much calmer now, and I could now she the benefits of that unfortunate news. "It's fine... Now I can see how not bad that sounds. Now they woul

Rachel's POVI arrived at the location I was meant to meet Marina. I had called her last night to give her my new number and to tell her that I was ready to begin acting again. She suggested this restaurant and here I was. In a fancy restaurant, surrounded by fancy people. I looked around looking for Marina in the crowd. She said she was going to be seated not to far from the door, where the hell is she?I looked a little to the left before I saw someone waving her hands at me. "Over here". Marina said with a smile when I caught her eyes. I walked over there, the intense gaze of onlookers who were watching my every move. I held my head up high despite their disapproving gaze or was it shock... I couldn't tell. I was wearing black joggers and a white crop top, something I found in the walk-in closet in my room. How Ethan knew my size... I wasn't sure. But I decided not to think about it as I wore it here. Now I wasn't too sure wearing casual clothes to such a fancy restaurant wa

Rachel's POV As I waited my turn, I watched as the others rehearsed their lines with one another. Some were good, I would admit, while the others... I can shake my head at their performance. I suddenly felt pressed and stood up to use the restroom. " Where is it?" I looked around for a while before turning another corner. Yep, I was lost. Everywhere looked alike to me. Where the fuck is the restroom. " Are you perhaps lost?" A manly voice asked me from behind. I turned my body sharply to put a face to the voice. My eyes widened as I was taken aback by his appearance. He was a handsome man dressed causally in a white hoodie and black pants. There was an amused smirk on his perfectly sculptured face. His dark blue eyes staring intensely at me. What a beauty...I opened my mouth to speak but no words came out. "Ms... Are you okay?" The amusement on his face changed to worry as he asked me. What is wrong with you Rachel, I shook my head to get back to my senses. "I'm.. I'm fi

"Where were you!" Ethan's loud voice sounded in my ears the moment I stepped into living room.What is his problem? I flinched at the loudness of his voice. " Somewhere..."He raised on his brows. " I'm being serious! I came back home early and you were no where to be found". Was he worried about me?I felt a smile creeping on my cheeks. I coughed awkwardly to dismiss it. " I just went out to visit a friend". "A friend?" Ethan repeated his tone showing that he didn't believe me. Does he think Lana is the only friend I have? I rolled my eyes before taking my seat on one of the three seater chairs. I bent down to remove my shoes. " Marina... I went to visit Marina. You remember her right, the girl that..." I paused looking at Ethan. He had his hands crossed on his chest and one eyebrow raised up waiting for me to continue my explanation. The way he crossed his arms, made the muscles in his arm pop. He is so muscular and... No... No... I shook my head. I shouldn't be thinking o
