The end.. or is it?

The end.. or is it?
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 either.

But Ethan... He was so amazing,

'I can't wait until Marina hears about this. '

She had always thought it odd that I was still a virgin till now, and I never really told her why.

The truth was I was afraid. I've heard and seen the pain a woman faces on her first time, and I was just too scared to actually do it. But I forgot about the pain as soon as Ethan smiled at me.

I could officially say this was the best day I've heard in days.

I sighed thoughtfully, plucking the hairs in Ethan's bare chest. "I thought you forgot about me," I said after a while.

"I can never forget about you". Ethan answered me almost immediately with a calm voice still stroking my hair.

The calmness in his voice made me suddenly feel angry.

How can he say that so lightly after being gone for three days?!

"Oh, really?" I remarked with sarcasm before holding the blanket closer to my body and sitting up to look at Ethan, then I slammed my hands to his chest. "You left me!"

Ethan grabbed my hands and made me look at him. "I didn't mean to, Rachel; I would never leave you, never."

His words touched a calming nerve in my body, and my anger disappeared in an instant, replaced by hurt.

I moved closer to him, burying my face in his chest. "Then why did you leave? I thought...I thought..."

"Everything is fine, Rachel. Yes, I took time, but that was because I found out that Olivia had more spies in my house than we thought. I had to make sure they were all gone before coming to get you".

Really?

There were more?

My face contorted in shock.

So Olivia had deep roots in that mansion, even more than that maid. Damn!

"Don't worry; she's taken care of now". Ethan spoke again when he saw the shock on my face. "We were able to catch her, and now she's being transported to an Alyssum".

Alyssum? I snorted. So she wasn't even dead.

Ethan held my tensed muscles and pulled up my face so my eyes could meet his. "Relax, security is really tight, she can never escape. "

"So it's over? " I asked in a whisper and Ethan nodded.

The end... That sounded really weird to me, but I trusted Ethan.

"What about Jake? " I asked remembering about the little kid.

How did I even forget to ask about him? I mentally scolded myself hitting myself on the head.

Ethan smiled, holding the hand I was using to hit my head. "He's fine. Though a little shaken up, but he's fine. "

Oh, thank goodness. I breathe out a sigh of relief nesting my head back on Ethan's chest.

That little kid has been through a lot, even at such a young age... He reminded me a lot of myself.

I somehow got separated from my family at the tender age of four, while Jake got kidnapped and used as a threatening tool at the age of seven.

"I just hope he's not too shaken up. "

"Rachel, " Ethan called after a few minutes of silence. I pulled away from his chest to look at him. "Uhm?"

"I love you".

A side of my lip pulled up in a small smile, and I nodded at him. "I know". I answered moving closer to give him a peck on his cheeks.

"I know we already kissed and made love, but I'm yet to officially ask you..." He began nervously.

Ethan was nervous? I immediately guessed what he might say.

My heart drummed in excitement.

"Rachel Andrews, would you be my girlfriend? "

'Yes! Yes!! Yes!!! ' My mind instantly screamed.

Finally! I had thought I would be the one to ask. But I couldn't just let Ethan see my excitement; he might get the wrong idea and think that I was desperate for him to say that, which I was, but I couldn't just let him think that.

"Are you sure? You won't be able to get rid of me again once I agree, and you, of all people, know how crazy I can be?" I asked with raised brows feigning a skeptical look.

For a second there, I thought Ethan was going to say no because his brows pulled together as if he was in deep thought.

"Hey," I nudged him on his chest, and he chuckled. "I'm joking, I'm joking." He said amid his chuckles.
Then his laughter died down and he looked at me, his face really serious. "I love you, all of you. Even your crazy parts" He said seriously.

That was all I needed.

"Then yes! " I yelled jumping in his arms.

"I love you so much". I whispered at his lips before pressing mine on them. "I love you even more. " Ethan managed to whisper back before claiming my lips.

I leaned back to kiss him even more but before I could two loud knocks at the door interrupted everything.

"What the..." I almost screamed when I heard the door creak as if about to open. I immediately got off Ethan and covered my body properly with the blanket.

Marina opened the door with a small smile dancing on her lips. "You guys should come downstairs, we're about to start Rachel's party proper"

Rachel's party? Oh, that was me. There was a party?

"I see you guys finally... " She wiggled her brows at playfully and my cheeks redden so much that I had to cover my face with the blanket.

" I'll just leave you guys to..."

"Marina!!!" I yelled from the blanket and she chuckled even more.

"Alright, alright... Just come down stairs, both of you" She said giggling her way out of the room.

I shook my head glaring at the door. That girl really had bad timing. "Ethan, we need to get down before they send someone else to call us". I said to Ethan getting down from the bed.

The last thing I needed right now was someone else, most especially from my family coming up here and barging in like Marina just did. Even though they might be cool with their daughter finally getting disvirgined I would be too embarrassed.

As soon as my feet touched the ground, I felt Ethan grab my hand and I turned to look at him.

"Rachel, there's something else I have to tell you. " He said before I could say a word, sounding anxious.

My heart skipped a beat and I suddenly felt scared. "W.. what? "

"Victoria... Olivia was working with Victoria."

My throat tightened and couldn't breathe. That nice old woman was with Olivia?

"And..." Ethan added hesitantly.

My heart sank. There was another one?

"I... I was the one who sent you the text message about David and Lana."

My eyes widened in utter shock.

He did what?!!!
